NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Diamond Jo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("DJL"), owns and operates
the Diamond Jo riverboat casino in Dubuque, Iowa, and, prior to the corporate
restructuring described below, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Peninsula Gaming
Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("PGP"). DJL had two direct
wholly owned subsidiaries, (i) Peninsula Gaming Corp., which had no assets or
operations and was formed solely to facilitate the offering of DJL's 12 1/4%
Senior Secured Notes due 2006 (the "DJL Notes"), and (ii) OED Acquisition, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company ("OEDA"), and the parent company of The Old
Evangeline Downs, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company ("OED"), that
currently owns and operates a horse track in Lafayette, Louisiana and is
constructing a new casino and racetrack facility in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana
(the "racino project"). The Old Evangeline Downs Capital Corp. was a wholly
owned subsidiary of OED which has no assets or operations and was formed solely
to facilitate the offering by OED of its 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 with
Contingent Interest (the "OED Notes"). Following the redemption of the DJL Notes
in April 2004, Peninsula Gaming Corp. was dissolved.
On June 16, 2004, a corporate restructuring occurred, which is reflected in
these consolidated financial statements, pursuant to which Peninsula Gaming,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), became a new direct
parent company of DJL, OED and Peninsula Gaming Corp. ("PGC", formerly known as
The Old Evangeline Downs Capital Corp.), a Delaware limited liability company.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of PGP. In connection with the
corporate restructuring, OEDA became a sister company to the Company and a
wholly owned subsidiary of PGP in a corporate spin-off which was recorded as a
distribution on June 16, 2004.
Peninsula Gaming, LLC; DJL and PGC are co-issuers of 8 3/4 % Senior Secured
Notes (the "Peninsula Gaming Notes") which are registered with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Also, OED is a guarantor of the
Peninsula Gaming Notes and has pledged its stock as collateral. The separate
financial statements of DJL, as a co-issuer, and OED, as guarantor, are required
to be filed with the SEC and are included in this 10-Q filing. Peninsula Gaming,
LLC and PGC have no independent assets or operations of their own and,
therefore, no separate financial statements of these entities have been
provided.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring entries
unless otherwise disclosed, necessary to present fairly the financial
information of 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 expected 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 year ended December
31, 2003. Accordingly, footnote disclosure which would substantially duplicate
the disclosure in the audited financial statements have been omitted in the
accompanying unaudited financial statements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Restricted Investments--As of December 31, 2003, OED had approximately $15.8
million, net of discount, invested in government securities with original
maturities of greater than 90 days from the date
-7-
of initial investment. These investments were classified as held-to-maturity and
had contractual maturities of $8.0 million on both February 15, 2004 and August
15, 2004. Proceeds from the maturity of the investments on February 15, 2004
were used to help make the payment of interest on the OED Notes due March 1,
2004 in accordance with the terms of the Cash Collateral and Disbursement
Agreement, dated February 25, 2003, among OED, U.S. Bank National Association
(as trustee and disbursement agent) and an independent construction consultant
(the "Cash Collateral and Disbursement Agreement"). As a result of the
refinancing of the OED Notes on April 16, 2004 (see Note 4), the Cash Collateral
and Disbursement Agreement was cancelled and, therefore, the restricted
investments were no longer required. Therefore, during May 2004, the remaining
restricted investments of approximately $7.9 million were redeemed.
Restricted Cash--Racino Project--"Restricted cash--racino project" represented
unused proceeds from the sale of the OED Notes, the use and disbursement of
which were restricted to the design, development, construction, equipping and
opening of the racino in accordance with the Cash Collateral and Disbursement
Agreement. As of December 31, 2003, OED had $14.4 million in cash equivalents
deposited in a construction disbursement account, $0.2 million in cash
equivalents deposited in an interest reserve account that were to be used toward
payment of interest on the OED Notes, $5.0 million in cash equivalents deposited
in a completion reserve account that were to be used to fund potential cost
overruns and contingency amounts with respect to the design, development,
construction, equipping and opening of the racino and $0.4 million in cash in a
local financial institution. The funds deposited in these accounts were invested
in cash or securities that were readily convertible to cash. As a result of the
refinancing of the OED Notes on April 16, 2004 (see Note 4), the Cash Collateral
and Disbursement Agreement was terminated and, therefore, the restricted cash -
Racino Project was no longer required.
Deferred Financing Costs - As of September 30, 2004, the Company incurred
approximately $12.6 million of fees and expenses related to the refinancing of
the DJL Notes and the OED Notes and approximately $1.4 million of fees and
expenses related to the refinancing of (i) DJL's senior secured credit facility
with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. dated February 23, 2001 (as amended, the "DJL
Credit Facility"), (ii) OED's $15.0 million senior secured credit facility with
Wells Fargo Foothill dated June 24, 2003 (as amended, the "OED Credit
Facility"), and (iii) OED's $16.0 million FF&E credit facility with Wells Fargo
Foothill dated September 22, 2003 (the "OED FF&E Facility"), which refinancings
were consummated in the second quarter (see Note 4 for further discussion on the
refinancings).
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets--At September 30, 2004 and December 31,
2003, "Goodwill" and "Other intangibles" consists of goodwill, licensing costs
and the acquired trade name associated with the purchase of the Diamond Jo and
OED. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net
identifiable assets acquired, such excess has been recorded as goodwill.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" provides that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets
will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed at least annually for
impairment and written down and charged to income when their recorded value
exceeds their estimated fair value.
During the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, the Company performed its annual
impairment test on goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and determined that
the estimated fair value of the Diamond Jo exceeded its carrying value as of
that date. Based on that review, management determined that there was no
impairment of goodwill.
-8-
As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had "Other
intangibles" on its balance sheet summarized as follows (in millions):
September 30, December 31,
2004 2003
------------- ------------
Slot Machine and Electronic Video Game Licenses $ 28.7 $ 28.5
Tradename 2.5 2.5
Horse Racing Licenses 1.3 1.3
------------- ------------
Total $ 32.5 $ 32.3
============= ============
Each of the identified intangible assets have indefinite lives and were valued
separately. The methodology employed by an independent valuation specialist to
arrive at the initial valuations required evaluating the fair market value of
the existing horse racing business on a stand-alone basis without taking into
account any right to obtain slot machine and electronic video game licenses.
Such valuation was based in part upon other transactions in the industry and
OED's historical results of operations. A value was also derived for the trade
name using market based royalty rates. A significant portion of the purchase
price is attributable to the slot machine and electronic video game license
rights, which were valued based upon the market value paid by other operators
and upon projected cash flows from operations. The initial valuations were
updated by management in the first quarter of 2004 indicating no impairment.
These intangible assets are subject to impairment by, among other things,
significant changes in the gaming tax rates in Louisiana, significant new
competition which could substantially reduce profitability, non-renewal of OED's
racing or gaming licenses due to regulatory matters, changes to OED's trade name
or the way OED's trade name is used in connection with its business and
regulatory changes that could adversely affect OED's business by, for example,
limiting or reducing the number of slot machines or video poker machines that
they are permitted to operate.
On June 25, 2002, PGP entered into an agreement with William E. Trotter, II
("Trotter") and William E. Trotter, II Family L.L.C., a Louisiana limited
liability company ("WET2LLC") to acquire (i) all of Trotter's interests in two
promissory notes issued by OED in connection with DJL's acquisition of OED, and
(ii) all of Trotter's membership interests owned by WET2LLC (together, the
"Trotter Purchase"). On August 30, 2002, OEDA consummated the Trotter Purchase
for a purchase price consisting of cash of $15,546,000, plus a contingent fee of
one half of one percent (0.5%) of the net slot revenues generated by OED's
racino located in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, for a period of ten years
commencing on December 19, 2003, the date the racino's casino opened to the
general public. This contingent fee is payable monthly in arrears and has been
recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price of "Other intangibles" on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $222,565 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004.
Use of Estimates--The preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. We periodically evaluate our policies and the estimates
and assumptions related to these policies. We also periodically evaluate the
carrying value of our assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. We operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to
regulations that describe and regulate operating and internal control
procedures. The majority of our revenues are in the form of cash, which by its
nature, does not require complex estimates. In addition, we made certain
estimates surrounding our application of purchase accounting related to
acquisitions and the related assignment of costs to goodwill and other
intangible assets.

On March 9, 2004, OED commenced a tender offer and consent solicitation to
repurchase all of its outstanding OED Notes and to solicit consents to certain
proposed amendments to the indenture governing the OED Notes as set forth in
OED's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated March 9, 2004.
On March 19, 2004, the expiration date of the consent solicitation, OED received
the requisite consents and tenders from holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding OED Notes. The tender offer expired on April
5, 2004, and OED redeemed approximately $116.3 million principal amount of the
OED Notes.
On April 16, 2004, DJL and PGC completed a Rule 144A private placement of $233
million principal amount of the Peninsula Gaming Notes. The Peninsula Gaming
Notes were issued at a discount of approximately $3.3 million. Interest on the
Peninsula Gaming Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of
each year, beginning on October 15, 2004. Upon the corporate restructuring, PGL
became a co-issuer of the Peninsula Notes.
The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Peninsula Gaming Notes as
follows (all payments based on outstanding balances as of April 16, 2004): (1)
to irrevocably deposit funds into an escrow account to redeem all of the DJL
Notes in an amount (including call premium and accrued interest) of
approximately $79.9 million; (2) to repurchase approximately $116.3 million
principal amount of OED Notes for an aggregate amount (including tender premium,
accrued interest and contingent interest) of approximately $134.6 million; (3)
to pay accrued distributions on DJL's outstanding preferred membership
interests-redeemable of approximately $1.1 million; (4) to pay related fees and
expenses of approximately $13.4 million; and (5) for general corporate purposes.
As a result of the issuance of the Peninsula Gaming Notes, DJL incurred a loss
of approximately $8.7 million consisting of the write-off of deferred financing
fees of approximately $2.0 million, the payment of a call premium on the DJL
Notes of approximately $5.7 million, interest on the DJL Notes of approximately
$0.7 million and write-off of bond discount of approximately $0.3 million. In
connection therewith, OED also incurred a loss of approximately $27.9 million
consisting of the write-off of deferred financing fees of approximately $8.4
million, the payment of a tender premium on the OED Notes of approximately $16.3
million, write-off of bond discount of approximately $2.1 million and consent
fees of approximately $1.1 million. In addition, OED and DJL wrote off $0.9
million of deferred financing fees related to the refinancing of the credit
facilities discussed below.
The indenture governing the Peninsula Gaming Notes limits the Company's ability
and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:
o incur more debt;
o pay dividends or make other distributions to PGP;
o redeem stock;
o issue stock of restricted subsidiaries;
o make investments;
o create liens;
o enter into transactions with affiliates;
-12-
o merge or consolidate; and
o transfer or sell assets.
The Peninsula Gaming Notes are full and unconditional obligations of DJL as a
co-issuer. Peninsula Gaming, LLC and PGC, also co-issuers, have no independent
assets (other than Peninsula Gaming, LLC's investment in its subsidiaries) or
operations. The Peninsula Gaming Notes are also guaranteed, subject to the prior
lien of the Company's credit facility discussed below, by OED. Further, OED and
DJL have pledged their equity interests as collateral. The Peninsula Gaming
Notes do not limit DJL's or OED's ability to transfer net assets to Peninsula
Gaming, LLC.
On June 16, 2004, DJL and OED jointly entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. as the Arranger and Agent (the "PGL Credit
Facility"). The PGL Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility
which permits DJL and OED to request advances and letters of credit up to the
lesser of the maximum revolver amount of $35 million (less amounts outstanding
under letters of credit) and a specified borrowing base (the "Borrowing Base").
For the purposes of the PGL Credit Facility, the Borrowing Base is the lesser of
the Combined EBITDA (as defined in the PGL Credit Facility) of OED and DJL for
the twelve months immediately preceding the current month end multiplied by 150%
and the Combined EBITDA of OED and DJL for the most recent quarterly period
annualized multiplied by 150%. At September 30, 2004, the maximum revolver
amount was $35.0 million. Immediately upon the closing of the PGL Credit
Facility, the Company borrowed approximately $15.9 million to refinance
outstanding obligations under the DJL Credit Facility and the OED Credit
Facility and pay financing related fees and expenses. Advances under the PGL
Credit Facility bear an interest rate based on the borrower's option of LIBOR
plus a margin 3.0% -3.5% or Wells Fargo prime rate plus a margin of 0.5% -1.0%
(current rate of 5.75%) however, at no time shall the interest rate be lower
than 4.0%.
The PGL Credit Facility also contains a Term Loan in the amount of $14,666,667.
The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay outstanding obligations under
the FF&E Credit Facility. The Term Loan is secured by certain assets of OED and
requires monthly payments of $333,333 starting July 1, 2004 until the full
balance is paid, with a maturity no later than June 16, 2008. The Term Loan has
an interest rate equal to the Wells Fargo prime rate plus 2.5% (current rate of
7.25%) however, at no time shall the interest rate be lower than 6.0%. Under the
terms of the PGL Credit Facility, at closing the Company was required to issue a
letter of credit in the amount of $3.2 million in favor of Wells Fargo Foothill,
Inc. related to the Term Loan.
DJL and OED are jointly and severally liable under the PGL Credit Facility,
other than borrowings under the Term Loan for which OED is solely liable.
Borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility, other than borrowings under the Term
Loan, are collateralized by substantially all assets of OED and DJL. Borrowings
under the Term Loan are collateralized by a separate lien on the furniture,
fixtures and equipment of OED financed pursuant to the terms of the OED FF&E
Facility. Borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility are guaranteed by Peninsula
Gaming, LLC and PGC.
The PGL Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and
agreements, including covenants that limit DJL's and OED's ability to, among
other things: (1) incur more debt; (2) create liens; (3) enter into any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, or reclassify its capital
stock; (4) dispose of certain assets; (5) guarantee debt of others; (6) pay
dividends or make other distributions; (7) make investments; and (8) enter into
transactions with affiliates. The PGL Credit Facility also contains financial
covenants including a minimum Combined EBITDA (as defined by the PGL Credit
Facility) of OED and DJL and limitations on capital expenditure amounts at OED
and DJL.
Specifically, the PGL Credit Facility prohibits DJL and OED from making loans to
PGL except on an arm's length basis and pursuant to an exception that permits
DJL and OED to make unsecured loans to
-13-
PGL in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $10.0 million. In addition,
DJL and OED are prohibited from making any dividends or other distributions to
PGL, subject to certain limited exceptions. For example, so long as no default
or event of default under the PGL Credit Facility has occurred and is
continuing, and immediately after giving effect to such dividend or other
distribution the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the PGL Credit Facility)
for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarter period would not have been
less than 2.0 to 1.0, DJL and OED can pay dividends and other distributions to
PGL in an aggregate amount, when taken together with all other such payments
made after the date of the closing of the PGL Credit Facility not exceeding the
sum of (a) 50% of the sum of DJL's and OED's Combined Net Income and Combined
Non-Cash Charges (as each such term is defined in the PGL Credit Facility) for
the period from the beginning of the first full fiscal quarter immediately
following the closing date of the PGL Credit Facility to the end of DJL's or
OED's, as applicable, most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal
financial statements are available at the time of the dividend or other
distribution, (b) cash proceeds from sales of equity of DJL or OED or a cash
contribution of a holder of equity of DJL or OED, (c) cash proceeds from the
sale of convertible or exchangeable debt securities that have been converted or
exchanged into equity of DJL or OED after the closing date of the PGL Credit
Facility and prior to the time of such dividend or other distribution, and (d)
the aggregate Return from Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as each such term is
defined in the PGL Credit Facility) of DJL or OED, if any. In addition, DJL and
OED are permitted to make dividends or other distributions to PGL or pay certain
tax obligations. Further, DJL and OED can make dividends and other distributions
to PGL to pay costs related to certain tax preparation, accounting, legal and
administrative fees and expenses. Additionally, DJL and OED may make dividends
and other distributions to PGL in respect of certain payments under management
agreements and to pay reasonable directors' or managers' fees and expenses, so
long as any payments with respect to any management agreement or employee,
consulting or similar agreement do not, in the aggregate, in any fiscal year
exceed the lesser of (a) 4.0% of DJL and OED's Combined EBITDA (as defined in
the PGL Credit Facility) and (b) $4.0 million. DJL and OED may also make
dividends or other distributions to PGL so that PGL, subject to certain
limitations, can repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire equity interests in PGL
or its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the PGL Credit Facility) from its
respective employees, members or managers. Finally, PGL and OED can make
dividends and other distributions not to exceed (a) in 2004, $7.5 million, (b)
in 2005, $3.75 million plus any unused portion of the amount available in 2004,
if any, (c) in 2006, $3.75 million plus the unused portion of the amount
available in 2005, if any, (d) in 2007, the unused portion of the amount
available in 2006, if any, and (e) in 2008, the unused portion of the amount
available in 2007, if any. Subject to the foregoing provisions, all of the net
assets of DJL and OED are restricted assets. The Company was in compliance with
such covenants, or had obtained waivers, as of September 30, 2004.
As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $11.9 million and $13.7 million
outstanding under the revolver portion and Term Loan portion of the PGL Credit
Facility, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2004, the Company had
outstanding letters of credit of approximately $4.0 million.
The DJL Credit Facility, the OED Credit Facility and the FF&E Credit Facility
were terminated in connection with the refinancing discussed above.
In September 2004, the Company entered into agreements with various slot
manufacturers to purchase 783 slot machines which will be financed through the
respective slot vendor. See further discussion in Note 3.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Under the Company's and PGP's operating agreements, the Company and PGP have
agreed, subject to a few exceptions, to indemnify and hold harmless our members,
PGP and PGP members, as the case may be, from liabilities incurred as a result
of their positions as our sole manager and as members of the Company or PGP, as
the case may be.
-14-
As discussed in Note 2, in connection with the Trotter Purchase, OED is
obligated to pay a contingent fee of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the net
slot revenues generated by OED's racino located in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana,
for a period of ten years commencing on December 19, 2003, the date the racino's
casino opened to the general public. OED incurred $222,565 related to this
contingent fee during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and increased
"Other intangibles" as an adjustment to the purchase price of such assets.
The Company was involved in a lawsuit with a former employee. The Company
reached a settlement with the former employee during the third quarter of 2004.
The settlement did not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
We are not a party to, and none of our property is the subject of, any pending
legal proceedings other than litigation arising in the normal course of
business. We do not believe that adverse determinations in any or all such
litigation would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
6. Related Party Transactions
In May 2004, PGP repurchased 147,553 units of its convertible preferred
membership interests from an unrelated third party for approximately $4.5
million. The repurchase was funded by a distribution of cash to PGP from DJL.
During the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company
distributed $456,231 and $683,946, respectively, and during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company distributed $2,106,819 and
$1,147,987, respectively, to PGP primarily for (i) certain consulting and
financial advisory services related to PGP development expenses, (ii) board fees
and actual out of pocket expenses incurred by members of the board of managers
of PGP in their capacity as a board member and (iii) tax, accounting, legal and
administrative costs and expenses of PGP. These amounts were recorded as member
distributions and are included in "Accumulated Deficit" on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In accordance with a management services agreement between DJL, OEDA and OED,
OED expensed approximately $119,934 in affiliate management fees payable to OEDA
for the three months ended September 30, 2004 (the period subsequent to the
spin-off of OEDA).
A board member of PGP was entitled to receive from OEDA board fees of $175,000
per year for services performed in his capacity as an OEDA board member. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, OEDA expensed $0 and $87,500,
respectively, related to these board fees which have been included in "Affiliate
management fees" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (for the
period prior to the spin-off of OEDA).
OED is a party to a consulting agreement with a board member of PGP. Under the
consulting agreement, OED must pay to the board member a fee equal to 2.5% of
OED's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other
non-recurring charges during the preceding calendar year commencing on January
1, 2004. Under the consulting agreement, the board member is also entitled to
reimbursement of reasonable business expenses as approved by the board of
managers of PGP. OED has expensed $156,252 and $468,752 in "Affiliate management
fees" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, related to this agreement.

7. Segment Information
Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," the Company has determined that it

8. Subsequent Event
The PGL Credit Facility was amended on November 10, 2004 to provide that the
obligations under the Term Loan portion of the PGL Credit Facility be secured
by the assets of DJL in addition to those of OED and, as a result, the minimum
OED EBITDA covenant is no longer applicable.

THE OLD EVANGELINE DOWNS, L.L.C.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Old Evangeline Downs, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company ("OED"
or the "Company"), owns and operates a horse track in Lafayette, Louisiana and
is constructing a new casino and racetrack facility in St. Landry Parish,
Louisiana (the "racino project"). The Old Evangeline Downs Capital Corp. was a
wholly owned subsidiary of OED which has no assets or operations and was formed
solely to facilitate the offering by OED of its 13% Senior Secured Notes due
2010 with Contingent Interest (the "OED Notes"). Prior to the corporate
restructuring described below, OED was a wholly owned subsidiary of OED
Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("OEDA"). OEDA was a
wholly owned subsidiary of Diamond Jo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("DJL"), which owns and operates the Diamond Jo riverboat casino in Dubuque,
Iowa. Prior to the corporate restructuring described below, DJL was a wholly
owned subsidiary of Peninsula Gaming Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("PGP").
On June 16, 2004, a corporate restructuring occurred, which is reflected in
these financial statements, pursuant to which Peninsula Gaming, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("PGL"), became a new direct parent company of DJL,
OED and Peninsula Gaming Corp. ("PGC", formerly known as The Old Evangeline
Downs Capital Corp.), a Delaware limited liability company. PGL is a wholly
owned subsidiary of PGP. In connection with the corporate restructuring, OEDA
became a sister company to PGL and a wholly owned subsidiary of PGP in a
corporate spin-off which was recorded as a distribution on June 16, 2004.
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
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 expected 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 PGL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2003. Accordingly, footnote disclosure which would substantially duplicate the
disclosure in the audited financial statements has been omitted in the
accompanying unaudited financial statements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Restricted Investments--As of December 31, 2003, OED had approximately $15.8
million, net of discount, invested in government securities with original
maturities of greater than 90 days from the date of initial investment. These
investments were classified as held-to-maturity and had contractual maturities
of $8.0 million on both February 15, 2004 and August 15, 2004. Proceeds from the
maturity of the investments on February 15, 2004 were used to help make the
payment of fixed interest on the OED Notes due March 1, 2004 in accordance with
the terms of the Cash Collateral and Disbursement Agreement, dated February 25,
2003, among OED, U.S. Bank National Association (as trustee and disbursement
agent) and an independent construction consultant (the "Cash Collateral and
Disbursement Agreement"). As a result of the refinancing of the OED Notes on
April 16, 2004 (see Note 4), the Cash Collateral and Disbursement Agreement was
cancelled and, therefore, the restricted investments were no longer required.
Therefore, during May 2004, the remaining restricted investments of
approximately $7.9 million were redeemed.
-23-
Restricted Cash--Racino Project--As of December 31, 2003, OED had $14.4 million
in cash equivalents deposited in a construction disbursement account, $0.2
million in cash equivalents deposited in an interest reserve account that were
to be used toward payment of fixed interest on the OED Notes, $5.0 million in
cash equivalents deposited in a completion reserve account that were to be used
to fund potential cost overruns and contingency amounts with respect to the
design, development, construction, equipping and opening of the racino and $0.4
million in cash in a local financial institution. The funds deposited in these
accounts were invested in cash or securities that are readily convertible to
cash. As a result of the refinancing of the OED Notes on April 16, 2004 (see
Note 4), the Cash Collateral and Disbursement Agreement was terminated and,
therefore, the restricted cash--Racino Project was no longer required.
Deferred Financing Costs - As of September 30, 2004, OED incurred approximately
$7.3 million of fees and expenses related to the refinancing of the OED Notes
and approximately $0.8 million of fees and expenses related to the refinancing
of (i) OED's $15.0 million senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo
Foothill dated June 24, 2003 (as amended, the "OED Credit Facility") and (ii)
OED's $16.0 million FF&E credit facility with Wells Fargo Foothill dated
September 22, 2003 (the "OED FF&E Facility"), which refinancings were
consummated in the second quarter (see Note 4 for further discussion on the
refinancings).
Other Intangibles--At September 30, 2004 "Other intangibles" consists of
licensing costs and the acquired trade name associated with the purchase of OED.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" provides that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets
will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed at least annually for
impairment and written down and charged to income when their recorded value
exceeds their estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2004 and December 31,
2003, the Company had approximately $32.5 and $32.3 million, respectively, of
"Other intangibles" on its balance sheet summarized as follows (in millions):
September 30, December 31,
2004 2003
------------- ------------
Slot Machine and Electronic Video Game Licenses $ 28.7 $ 28.5
Tradename 2.5 2.5
Horse Racing Licenses 1.3 1.3
------------- ------------
Total $ 32.5 $ 32.3
============= ============
For purposes of the valuations set forth above, each of the identified
intangible assets were treated as having indefinite lives and valued separately.
The methodology employed by an independent valuation specialist to arrive at the
initial valuations required evaluating the fair market value of the existing
horse racing business on a stand-alone basis without taking into account any
right to obtain slot machine and electronic video game licenses. Such valuation
was based in part upon other transactions in the industry and OED's historical
results of operations. A value was also derived for the trade name using market
based royalty rates. A significant portion of the purchase price is attributable
to the slot machine and electronic video game license rights, which were valued
based upon the market value paid by other operators and upon projected cash
flows from operations. The valuations were updated by management in the first
quarter of 2004 indicating no impairment. These valuations and related
intangible assets are subject to impairment by, among other things, significant
changes in the gaming tax rates in Louisiana, significant new competition which
could substantially reduce profitability, non-renewal of OED's racing or gaming
licenses due to regulatory matters, changes to OED's trade name or the way OED's
trade name is used in connection with its business and regulatory changes that
could adversely affect OED's business by, for example, limiting or reducing the
number of slot machines or video poker machines that they are permitted to
operate.
-24-
On June 25, 2002, PGP entered into an agreement with William E. Trotter, II
("Trotter") and William E. Trotter, II Family L.L.C., a Louisiana limited
liability company ("WET2LLC") to acquire (i) all of Trotter's interests in two
promissory notes issued by OED in connection with DJL's acquisition of OED, and
(ii) all of Trotter's membership interests owned by WET2LLC (together, the
"Trotter Purchase"). On August 30, 2002, OEDA consummated the Trotter Purchase
for a purchase price consisting of cash of $15,546,000, plus a contingent fee of
one half of one percent (0.5%) of the net slot revenues generated by OED's
racino located in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, for a period of ten years
commencing on December 19, 2003, the date the racino's casino opened to the
general public. This contingent fee is payable monthly in arrears and is
recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price of "Other intangibles" on the
Condensed Balance Sheet of $222,565 for the nine months ended September 30,
2004.
Use of Estimates--The preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. We periodically evaluate our policies and the estimates
and assumptions related to these policies. We also periodically evaluate the
carrying value of our assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. We operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to
regulations that describe and regulate operating and internal control
procedures. The majority of our revenues are in the form of cash, which by its
nature, does not require complex estimates. In addition, we made certain
estimates surrounding our application of purchase accounting related to the
acquisition and the related assignment of costs to other intangible assets.
Concentrations of Risk--The Company maintains deposit accounts at three banks.
At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and various times during the
periods then ended, the balance at the banks exceeded the maximum amount insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Credit risk is managed by
monitoring the credit quality of the banks.
The Company's customer base is concentrated in southwest Louisiana.
Reclassifications--Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current period presentation.
3. Property and Equipment

2003 is summarized as follows:

machines, approximately $4.1 million will be financed through a slot machine
vendor with equal principal payments due over thirty-six months with zero

On March 9, 2004, OED commenced a tender offer and consent solicitation to
repurchase all of its outstanding OED Notes and to solicit consents to certain
proposed amendments to the indenture governing the OED Notes as set forth in
OED's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated March 9, 2004.
On March 19, 2004, the expiration date of the consent solicitation, OED received
the requisite consents and tenders from holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding OED Notes. The tender offer expired on April
5, 2004, and OED redeemed approximately $116.3 million principal amount of OED
Notes.
On April 16, 2004, DJL and PGC completed a Rule 144A private placement of $233
million principal amount of 8 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (the "Peninsula
Gaming Notes"). The Peninsula Gaming Notes were issued at a discount of
approximately $3.3 million. Interest on the Peninsula Gaming Notes is payable
semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15,
2004. Upon the corporate restructuring, PGL became a co-issuer of the Peninsula
Gaming Notes.
PGL used the net proceeds from the sale of the Peninsula Gaming Notes as follows
(all payments based on outstanding balances as of April 16, 2004): (1) to
irrevocably deposit funds into an escrow account to redeem all of the DJL Notes
in an amount (including call premium and accrued interest) of approximately
$79.9 million; (2) to repurchase approximately $116.3 million principal amount
of OED Notes for an aggregate amount (including tender premium, accrued interest
and contingent interest) of approximately $134.6 million; (3) to pay accrued
distributions on DJL's outstanding preferred membership interests-redeemable of
approximately $1.1 million; (4) to pay related fees and expenses of
approximately $13.4 million; and (5) for general corporate purposes. As a result
of the issuance of the Peninsula Gaming Notes, OED incurred a loss of
approximately $27.9 million consisting of the write-off of deferred financing
fees of approximately $8.4 million, the payment of a tender premium on the OED
Notes of approximately $16.3 million, write-off of bond discount of
approximately $2.1 million and consent fees of approximately $1.1 million. In
addition, OED wrote off $0.8 million of deferred financing fees related to the
refinancing of the credit facilities discussed below.
The indenture governing the Peninsula Gaming Notes limits the Company's ability
to, among other things:
o incur more debt;
o redeem stock;
o pay dividends or make other distributions to PGP
o issue stock of restricted subsidiaries;
o make investments;
o create liens;
o enter into transactions with affiliates;
o merge or consolidate; and
o transfer or sell assets.
-27-
The Peninsula Gaming Notes are guaranteed, subject to the prior lien of the
senior credit facility discussed below, by the Company and the Company has
pledged its equity interests as collateral. The Peninsula Gaming Notes do not
limit the Company's or DJL's ability to transfer net assets to PGL. Proceeds
received from the issuance of the Peninsula Gaming Notes were allocated between
the Company and DJL, based on each company's respective amount of senior debt
refinanced and their respective shares of financing related fees and expenses.
The Company was allocated approximately $143.0 million, net of $2.0 million
discount and DJL was allocated approximately $86.7 million, net of $1.3 million
discount.
On June 16, 2004, DJL and OED jointly entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. as the Arranger and Agent (the "PGL Credit
Facility"). The PGL Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility
which permits DJL and OED to request advances and letters of credit up to the
lesser of the maximum revolver amount of $35 million (less amounts outstanding
under letters of credit) and a specified borrowing base (the "Borrowing Base").
For the purposes of the PGL Credit Facility, the Borrowing Base is the lesser of
the Combined EBITDA (as defined in the PGL Credit Facility) of OED and DJL for
the twelve months immediately preceding the current month end multiplied by 150%
and the Combined EBITDA of OED and DJL for the most recent quarterly period
annualized multiplied by 150%. At September 30, 2004, the maximum revolver
amount was $35.0 million. Immediately upon the closing of the PGL Credit
Facility, the Company and DJL borrowed approximately $15.9 million to refinance
outstanding obligations under the OED Credit Facility and DJL Credit Facility
and pay financing related fees and expenses. Of the initial borrowings under the
PGL Credit Facility, OED was allocated approximately $4.8 million and DJL was
allocated approximately $11.1 million, based on each company's respective
amounts being refinanced and their respective shares of financing related fees
and expenses. Advances under the PGL Credit Facility bear an interest rate based
on the borrower's option of LIBOR plus a margin 3% -3.5% or Wells Fargo prime
rate plus a margin of 0.5% -1.0% (current rate of 5.75%) however, at no time
shall the interest rate be lower than 4.0%.
The PGL Credit Facility also contains a Term Loan in the amount of $14,666,667.
The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay outstanding obligations under
the FF&E Credit Facility. The Term Loan is secured by certain assets of OED and
requires monthly payments of $333,333 starting July 1, 2004 until the full
balance is paid, with a maturity of June 16, 2008. The Term Loan has an interest
rate equal to the Wells Fargo prime rate plus 2.5% (current rate of 7.25%),
however, at no time shall the interest rate be lower than 6.0%. Under the terms
of the PGL Credit Facility, at closing the Company was required to issue a
letter of credit in the amount of $3.2 million in favor of Wells Fargo related
to the Term Loan.
The Company and DJL are jointly and severally liable under the PGL Credit
Facility, other than borrowings under the Term Loan for which OED is solely
liable. Borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility, other than borrowings under
the Term Loan, are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and
DJL. Borrowings under the Term Loan are collateralized by a separate lien on the
furniture, fixtures and equipment of the Company financed pursuant to the terms
of the OED FF&E Facility. Borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility are
guaranteed by PGL and PGC.
The PGL Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and
agreements, including covenants that limit DJL's and OED's ability to, among
other things: (1) incur more debt; (2) create liens; (3) enter into any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, or reclassify its capital
stock; (4) dispose of certain assets; (5) guarantee debt of others; (6) pay
dividends or make other distributions; (7) make investments; (8) enter into
transactions with affiliates. The PGL Credit Facility also contains financial
covenants including a minimum Combined EBITDA (as defined in the PGL Credit
Facility) of the Company and DJL and limitations on capital expenditure amounts.
-28-
Specifically, the PGL Credit Facility prohibits DJL and OED from making loans to
PGL except on an arm's length basis and pursuant to an exception that permits
DJL and OED to make unsecured loans to PGL in an aggregate principal amount not
exceeding $10.0 million. In addition, DJL and OED are prohibited from making any
dividends or other distributions to PGL, subject to certain limited exceptions.
For example, so long as no default or event of default under the PGL Credit
Facility has occurred and is continuing, and immediately after giving effect to
such dividend or other distribution the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in
the PGL Credit Facility) for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarter
period would not have been less than 2.0 to 1.0, DJL and OED can pay dividends
and other distributions to PGL in an aggregate amount, when taken together with
all other such payments made after the date of the closing of the PGL Credit
Facility not exceeding the sum of (a) 50% of the sum of DJL's and OED's Combined
Net Income and Combined Non-Cash Charges (as each such term is defined in the
PGL Credit Facility) for the period from the beginning of the first full fiscal
quarter immediately following the closing date of the PGL Credit Facility to the
end of DJL's or OED's, as applicable, most recently ended fiscal quarter for
which internal financial statements are available at the time of the dividend or
other distribution, (b) cash proceeds from sales of equity of DJL or OED or a
cash contribution of a holder of equity of DJL or OED, (c) cash proceeds from
the sale of convertible or exchangeable debt securities that have been converted
or exchanged into equity of DJL or OED after the closing date of the PGL Credit
Facility and prior to the time of such dividend or other distribution, and (d)
the aggregate Return from Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as each such term is
defined in the PGL Credit Facility) of DJL or OED, if any. In addition, DJL and
OED are permitted to make dividends or other distributions to PGL or pay certain
tax obligations. Further, DJL and OED can make dividends and other distributions
to PGL to pay costs related to certain tax preparation, accounting, legal and
administrative fees and expenses. Additionally, DJL and OED may make dividends
and other distributions to PGL in respect of certain payments under management
agreements and to pay reasonable directors' or managers' fees and expenses, so
long as any payments with respect to any management agreement or employee,
consulting or similar agreement do not, in the aggregate, in any fiscal year
exceed the lesser of (a) 4.0% of DJL and OED's Combined EBITDA (as defined in
the PGL Credit Facility) and (b) $4.0 million. DJL and OED may also make
dividends or other distributions to PGL so that PGL, subject to certain
limitations, can repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire equity interests in PGL
or its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the PGL Credit Facility) from its
respective employees, members or managers. Finally, PGL and OED can make
dividends and other distributions not to exceed (a) in 2004, $7.5 million, (b)
in 2005, $3.75 million plus any unused portion of the amount available in 2004,
if any, (c) in 2006, $3.75 million plus the unused portion of the amount
available in 2005, if any, (d) in 2007, the unused portion of the amount
available in 2006, if any, and (e) in 2008, the unused portion of the amount
available in 2007, if any. Subject to the foregoing provisions, all of the net
assets of DJL and OED are restricted assets. The Company was in compliance with
such covenants, or had obtained waivers, as of September 30, 2004.
As of September 30, 2004, combined borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility were
$11.9 million, of which approximately $4.8 million related to the Company and
approximately $7.1 million related to DJL. In addition, as of September 30,
2004, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $3.5
million.
The OED Credit Facility and the FF&E Credit Facility were terminated in
connection with the refinancing discussed above.
In September 2004, the Company entered into agreements with various slot
manufacturers to purchase 417 slot machines which will be financed through the
respective slot vendor. See further discussion in Note 3.
-29-
5. Commitments and Contingencies
As discussed in Note 2, in connection with the Trotter Purchase, OED is
obligated to pay a contingent fee of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the net
slot revenues generated by OED's racino located in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana,
for a period of ten years commencing on December 19, 2003, the date the racino's
casino opened to the general public. OED incurred $222,565 related to this
contingent fee during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and increased
"Other intangibles" as an adjustment to the purchase price of such assets.
On November 8, 1994, the Louisiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective
Association 1993, Inc. ("LHBPA") filed a lawsuit against all licensed horse
racetracks in the State of Louisiana. The lawsuit alleged that LHBPA did not
receive the appropriate share of net revenues from video poker devices located
at licensed horse racetracks. In February 2003, OED entered into a settlement
agreement with LHBPA for $1.6 million. The terms of the settlement agreement
requires OED to make payments of $400,000 annually beginning in March 2003, with
additional $400,000 payments due in March 2004 through 2006.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 "Accounting
for Contingencies," the Company recorded an expense and related accrual of $1.6
million in the financial statements as of December 31, 2003. Of the total $1.6
million accrual, $0.4 million was paid in March 2003 and 2004, $0.4 million has
been included in "Other accrued expenses" in the "Current Liabilities" section
with the remaining $0.4 million recorded under "Other accrued expenses" in the
"Long-term liabilities" section of the Balance Sheet.
We are not a party to, and none of our property is the subject of, any other
pending legal proceedings other than litigation arising in the normal course of
business. We do not believe that adverse determinations in any or all such other
litigation would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
6. Related Party Transactions
The Company is a party to a consulting agreement with a board member of PGP.
Under the consulting agreement, the Company must pay to the board member a fee
equal to 2.5% of the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and other non-recurring charges during the preceding calendar year
commencing on January 1, 2004. Under the consulting agreement, the board member
is also entitled to reimbursement of reasonable business expenses as approved by
the board of managers of PGP. During the three and nine months ended September
30, 2004, the board member received $99,875 and $525,125, respectively under his
consulting agreement. Approximately $56,375 of this amount has been included in
"Prepaid expenses" in the "Condensed Balance Sheet" as of September 30, 2004 and
$156,252 and $468,752 has been included in "Management fees" in the "Condensed
Statement of Operations" for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004,
respectively.
Management Services Agreement--In 2002, OED entered into a management services
agreement ("MSA") with DJL and OEDA (together the "Operator"). Pursuant to the
terms of that agreement, the Operator will manage and operate OED's existing
horse racetrack and design, develop, construct, manage and operate the new
racino and provide certain pre-opening services in connection therewith. Under
the management services agreement, the Operator is entitled to receive a
pre-opening service fee equal to $40,000 per month, retroactive to June 27, 2001
which is not required to be paid until the earlier to occur of commencement of
the operations of the casino or the Operating Deadline (as defined in the MSA
and applicable to the casino). The Operator is also entitled to be reimbursed
for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses permitted to be
incurred under the management services agreement, including, but not limited to
tax preparation, accounting, legal and administrative fees and expenses
-30-
incurred in connection with the Operator's ownership of us. The Operator will
also receive a basic management fee equal to 1.75% of net revenue (less net food
and beverage revenue) and an incentive fee equal to:
o 3.0% of the first $25.0 million of EBITDA (as defined below);
o 4.0% of EBITDA in excess of $25.0 million but less than $30.0 million of
EBITDA; and
o 5.0% of EBITDA in excess of $30.0 million.
"EBITDA" is defined in the management services agreement as earnings before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization; provided, however, that
in calculating earnings, the basic management fee, the incentive fee and
reimbursables payable under the management services agreement shall not be
deducted. The management services agreement will terminate on the later of (i)
the date that is eight years after the first date a revenue paying customer is
admitted to the new racino and (ii) the date of sale by DJL of its beneficial
ownership of OED's membership interests. During the three month periods ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003 the Company accrued management fee expenses of
$479,736 and 120,000, respectively. During the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003 the Company accrued management fee expenses of
$1,461,681 and 360,000, respectively.
In accordance with the management services agreement, the Company expensed and
accrued approximately $119,934 in related party management fees payable to OEDA
for the three months ended September 30, 2004 (the period subsequent to the
spin-off of OEDA).
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company
distributed $93,404 to PGL primarily in respect to general corporate
administrative costs and expenses of PGL. These amounts were recorded as member
distributions and are included in "Accumulated Deficit" on the Balance Sheet.
At September 30, 2004, the Company had payables to an affiliate of $4,127,109
primarily related to development costs paid by the affiliate on behalf of the
Company.
At September 30, 2004, the Company had payables to affiliates of $2,166,324
related to a management services agreement for which DJL and OEDA together
manage and operate the Company's existing horse racetrack and the design,
development, construction and operation of the Company's racino that opened on
December 19, 2003.
Certain members of the Company are also managers of PGP. Due to these
relationships, those individuals may indirectly receive money from the Company
for management fees and other amounts paid by the Company to PGP.
7. Subsequent Event
The PGL Credit Facility was amended on November 10, 2004 to provide that the
obligations under the Term Loan portion of the PGL Credit Facility be secured by
the assets of DJL in addition to those of OED and, as a result, the minimum OED
EBITDA covenant is no longer applicable.

DIAMOND JO, LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Diamond Jo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("DJL" or the "Company"),
owns and operates the Diamond Jo riverboat casino in Dubuque, Iowa, and, prior
to the corporate restructuring described below, was a wholly owned subsidiary of
Peninsula Gaming Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("PGP").
DJL had two direct wholly owned subsidiaries, (i) Peninsula Gaming Corp., which
had no assets or operations and was formed solely to facilitate the offering of
DJL's 12 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2006 (the "DJL Notes"), and (ii) OED
Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("OEDA"), and the parent
company of The Old Evangeline Downs, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability
company ("OED"), that currently owns and operates a horse track in Lafayette,
Louisiana and is constructing a new casino and racetrack facility in St. Landry
Parish, Louisiana (the "racino project"). The Old Evangeline Downs Capital Corp.
was a wholly owned subsidiary of OED which has no assets or operations and was
formed solely to facilitate the offering by OED of its 13% Senior Secured Notes
due 2010 with Contingent Interest (the "OED Notes"). Following the redemption of
the DJL Notes in April 2004, Peninsula Gaming Corp. was dissolved.
On June 16, 2004, a corporate restructuring occurred, which is reflected in
these financial statements, pursuant to which Peninsula Gaming, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("PGL"), became a new direct parent company of DJL,
OED and Peninsula Gaming Corp. ("PGC", formerly known as The Old Evangeline
Downs Capital Corp.), a Delaware limited liability company. PGL is a wholly
owned subsidiary of PGP. In connection with the corporate restructuring, OEDA
became a sister company to PGL and a wholly owned subsidiary of PGP in a
corporate spin-off which was recorded as a distribution on June 16, 2004.
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
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 expected 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 PGL's Amendment No.3 to Form S-4 Registration Statement filed on
November 12, 2004. Accordingly, footnote disclosure which would substantially
duplicate the disclosure in the audited financial statements have been omitted
in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Deferred Financing Costs - As of September 30, 2004, the Company incurred
approximately $5.3 million of fees and expenses related to the refinancing of
the DJL Notes and approximately $0.6 million of fees and expenses related to the
refinancing of the Company's senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo
Foothill, Inc. dated February 23, 2001 (as amended, the "DJL Credit Facility"),
which refinancing was consummated in the second quarter (see Note 4 for further
discussion on the refinancing).

Goodwill --At September 30, 2004, "Goodwill" consists of goodwill associated
with the purchase of the Diamond Jo. To the extent the purchase price exceeded
the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, such excess has been
recorded as goodwill. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" provides that goodwill and indefinite
lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed at
least annually for impairment and written down and charged to income when their
recorded value exceeds their estimated fair value.
During the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, the Company performed its annual
impairment test on goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and determined that
the estimated fair value of the Company exceeded its carrying value as of that
date. Based on that review, management determined that there was no impairment
of goodwill.
Use of Estimates--The preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. We periodically evaluate our policies and the estimates
and assumptions related to these policies. We also periodically evaluate the
carrying value of our assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. We operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to
regulations that describe and regulate operating and internal control
procedures. The majority of our revenues are in the form of cash, which by its
nature, does not require complex estimates. In addition, we made certain
estimates surrounding our application of purchase accounting related to the
acquisition and the related assignment of costs to goodwill and other intangible
assets.
Concentrations of Risk--The Company maintains deposit accounts at one bank. At
September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and various times during the period
then ended, the balance at the bank exceeded the maximum amount insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Credit risk is managed by monitoring the
credit quality of the bank.
The Company's customer base is concentrated in eastern Iowa.
Reclassifications--Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current period presentation.

On April 16, 2004, DJL and PGC completed a Rule 144A private placement of $233
million principal amount of 8 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (the "Peninsula
Gaming Notes"). The Peninsula Gaming Notes were issued at a discount of
approximately $3.3 million. Interest on the Peninsula Gaming Notes is payable
semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15,
2004. Upon the corporate restructuring, PGL became a co-issuer of the Peninsula
Notes.
-38-
PGL used the net proceeds from the sale of the Peninsula Gaming Notes as follows
(all payments based on outstanding balances as of April 16, 2004): (1) to
irrevocably deposit funds into an escrow account to redeem all of the DJL Notes
in an amount (including call premium and accrued interest) of approximately
$79.9 million; (2) to repurchase approximately $116.3 million principal amount
of OED Notes for an aggregate amount (including tender premium, accrued interest
and contingent interest) of approximately $134.6 million; (3) to pay accrued
distributions on DJL's outstanding preferred membership interests-redeemable of
approximately $1.1 million; (4) to pay related fees and expenses of
approximately $13.4 million; and (5) for general corporate purposes. As a result
of the issuance of the Peninsula Gaming Notes, DJL incurred a loss of
approximately $8.7 million consisting of the write-off of deferred financing
fees of approximately $2.0 million, the payment of a call premium on the DJL
Notes of approximately $5.7 million, interest on the DJL Notes of approximately
$0.7 million and write-off of bond discount of approximately $0.3 million.
In addition, OED and the Company wrote off $0.9 million of deferred financing
fees related to the refinancing of the credit facilities discussed below of
which approximately $0.1 million was written off by the Company and $0.8 million
was written off by OED.
The indenture governing the Peninsula Gaming Notes limits the Company's ability
and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:
o incur more debt;
o pay dividends or make other distributions to PGP;
o redeem stock;
o issue stock of restricted subsidiaries;
o make investments;
o create liens;
o enter into transactions with affiliates;
o merge or consolidate; and
o transfer or sell assets.
The Peninsula Gaming Notes are full and unconditional obligations of the Company
as a co-issuer. PGL and PGC, also co-issuers, have no independent assets (other
than PGL's investment in its subsidiaries) or operations. The Peninsula Gaming
Notes are also guaranteed, subject to the prior lien of the Company's credit
facility discussed below, by OED. Further, OED and the Company have pledged
their equity interests as collateral. The Peninsula Gaming Notes do not limit
the Company's or OED's ability to transfer net assets to PGL. Proceeds received
from the issuance of the Peninsula Gaming Notes were allocated between the
Company and OED, based on each company's respective amount of senior debt
refinanced and their respective shares of financing related fees and expenses.
The Company was allocated approximately $86.7 million of debt, net of $1.3
million discount and OED was allocated approximately $143.0 million, net of $2.0
million discount.
On June 16, 2004, DJL and OED jointly entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. as the Arranger and Agent (the "PGL Credit
Facility"). The PGL Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility
which permits the Company and OED to request advances and letters of credit
-39-
up to the lesser of the maximum revolver amount of $35 million (less amounts
outstanding under letters of credit) and a specified borrowing base (the
"Borrowing Base"). For the purposes of the PGL Credit Facility, the Borrowing
Base is the lesser of the Combined EBITDA (as defined in the PGL Credit
Facility) of OED and the Company for the twelve months immediately preceding the
current month end multiplied by 150% and the Combined EBITDA of OED and the
Company for the most recent quarterly period annualized multiplied by 150%. At
September 30, 2004, the maximum revolver amount was $35.0 million. Immediately
upon the closing of the PGL Credit Facility, the Company and OED borrowed
approximately $15.9 million to refinance outstanding obligations under the DJL
Credit Facility and the OED Credit Facility and pay financing related fees and
expenses. Of the initial borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility, the Company
was allocated approximately $11.1 million and OED was allocated approximately
$4.8 million based on each company's respective amounts being refinanced and
their respective shares of financing related fees and expenses. Advances under
the PGL Credit Facility bear an interest rate based on the borrower's option of
LIBOR plus a margin 3.0% -3.5% or Wells Fargo prime rate plus a margin of 0.5%
- -1.0% (current rate of 5.75%) however, at no time shall the interest rate be
lower than 4.0%.
The Company and OED are jointly and severally liable under the PGL Credit
Facility for advances under the revolver portion of the facility and such
borrowings are collateralized by substantially all assets of OED and the
Company. Borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility are guaranteed by PGL and PGC.
The PGL Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and
agreements, including covenants that limit the Company's and OED's ability to,
among other things: (1) incur more debt; (2) create liens; (3) enter into any
merger, consolidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, or reclassify its
capital stock; (4) dispose of certain assets; (5) guarantee debt of others; (6)
pay dividends or make other distributions; (7) make investments; (8) enter into
transactions with affiliates. The PGL Credit Facility also contains financial
covenants including a minimum Combined EBITDA (as defined by the PGL Credit
Facility) of the Company and OED and limitations to capital expenditure amounts
at the Company and OED.
Specifically, the PGL Credit Facility prohibits DJL and OED from making loans to
PGL except on an arm's length basis and pursuant to an exception that permits
DJL and OED to make unsecured loans to PGL in an aggregate principal amount not
exceeding $10.0 million. In addition, DJL and OED are prohibited from making any
dividends or other distributions to PGL, subject to certain limited exceptions.
For example, so long as no default or event of default under the PGL Credit
Facility has occurred and is continuing, and immediately after giving effect to
such dividend or other distribution the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in
the PGL Credit Facility) for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarter
period would not have been less than 2.0 to 1.0, DJL and OED can pay dividends
and other distributions to PGL in an aggregate amount, when taken together with
all other such payments made after the date of the closing of the PGL Credit
Facility not exceeding the sum of (a) 50% of the sum of DJL's and OED's Combined
Net Income and Combined Non-Cash Charges (as each such term is defined in the
PGL Credit Facility) for the period from the beginning of the first full fiscal
quarter immediately following the closing date of the PGL Credit Facility to the
end of DJL's or OED's, as applicable, most recently ended fiscal quarter for
which internal financial statements are available at the time of the dividend or
other distribution, (b) cash proceeds from sales of equity of DJL or OED or a
cash contribution of a holder of equity of DJL or OED, (c) cash proceeds from
the sale of convertible or exchangeable debt securities that have been converted
or exchanged into equity of DJL or OED after the closing date of the PGL Credit
Facility and prior to the time of such dividend or other distribution, and (d)
the aggregate Return from Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as each such term is
defined in the PGL Credit Facility) of DJL or OED, if any. In addition, DJL and
OED are permitted to make dividends or other distributions to PGL or pay certain
tax obligations. Further, DJL and OED can make dividends and other distributions
to PGL to pay costs related to certain tax preparation, accounting, legal and
administrative fees and expenses. Additionally, DJL and OED may make dividends
and other distributions to PGL in respect of certain payments under
-40-
management agreements and to pay reasonable directors' or managers' fees and
expenses, so long as any payments with respect to any management agreement or
employee, consulting or similar agreement do not, in the aggregate, in any
fiscal year exceed the lesser of (a) 4.0% of DJL and OED's Combined EBITDA (as
defined in the PGL Credit Facility) and (b) $4.0 million. DJL and OED may also
make dividends or other distributions to PGL so that PGL, subject to certain
limitations, can repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire equity interests in PGL
or its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the PGL Credit Facility) from its
respective employees, members or managers. Finally, PGL and OED can make
dividends and other distributions not to exceed (a) in 2004, $7.5 million, (b)
in 2005, $3.75 million plus any unused portion of the amount available in 2004,
if any, (c) in 2006, $3.75 million plus the unused portion of the amount
available in 2005, if any, (d) in 2007, the unused portion of the amount
available in 2006, if any, and (e) in 2008, the unused portion of the amount
available in 2007, if any. Subject to the foregoing provisions, all of the net
assets of DJL and OED are restricted assets. The Company was in compliance with
such covenants, or had obtained waivers, as of September 30, 2004.
As of September 30, 2004, combined borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility were
$11.9 million, of which approximately $7.1 million related to the Company and
approximately $4.8 million related to OED. In addition, as of September 30,
2004, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $0.5
million.
The DJL Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the refinancing
discussed above.
In September 2004, the Company entered into agreements with various slot
manufacturers to purchase 366 slot machines which will be financed through the
respective slot vendor. See further discussion in Note 3.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Under the Company's and PGP's operating agreements, the Company and PGP have
agreed, subject to few exceptions, to indemnify and hold harmless its members,
PGP and PGP members, as the case may be, from liabilities incurred as a result
of their positions as our sole manager and as members of the Company or PGP.
The Company was involved in a lawsuit with a former employee. The Company
reached a settlement with the former employee during the third quarter of 2004.
The settlement did not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
We are not a party to, and none of our property is the subject of, any pending
legal proceedings other than litigation arising in the normal course of
business. We do not believe that adverse determinations in any or all such
litigation would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
6. Related Party Transactions
In May 2004, PGP repurchased 147,553 units of its convertible preferred
membership interests from an unrelated third party for approximately $4.5
million. The repurchase was funded by a distribution of cash to PGP from DJL,
one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
During the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company
distributed $431,448 and $683,946, respectively, and during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company distributed $2,082,036 and
$1,147,987, respectively, to PGP and PGL primarily in respect of (i) certain
-41-
consulting and financial advisory services related to PGP development expenses,
(ii) board fees and actual out of pocket expenses incurred by members of board
of managers of PGP in their capacity as a board member (iii) tax, accounting,
legal and administrative costs and expenses. These amounts were recorded as
member distributions and are included in "Accumulated Deficit" on the Balance
Sheet.
At September 30, 2004, the Company had receivables from affiliates of $4,127,109
primarily related to development costs paid by the Company on behalf of the
affiliates.
At September 30, 2004, the Company had receivables from affiliates of $2,181,594
related to a management services agreement for which the Company and OEDA
together manage and operate OED's existing horse racetrack and the design,
development, construction and operation of OED's racino that opened on December
19, 2003.
7. Subsequent Event
The PGL Credit Facility was amended on November 10, 2004 to provide that the
obligations under the Term Loan portion of the PGL Credit Facility be secured by
the assets of DJL in addition to those of OED and, as a result, the minimum OED
EBITDA covenant is no longer applicable.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Some statements contained in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and
uncertainties as well as other risks set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2003. 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. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the
"Company", "our", "us" and "we" refer to PGL, DJL, PGC and OED.
Peninsula Gaming, LLC; DJL and PGC are co-issuers of 8 3/4 % Senior
Secured Notes (the "Peninsula Gaming Notes") which are registered with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Also, OED is a guarantor of the
Peninsula Gaming Notes and has pledged its stock as collateral. The separate
financial statements of DJL, as a co-issuer, and OED, as guarantor, are required
to be filed with the SEC and are included in this 10-Q filing. Peninsula Gaming,
LLC and PGC have no independent assets or operations of their own and,
therefore, no separate financial statements of these entities have been
provided.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of 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 amount of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. We periodically evaluate our policies and the estimates and
assumptions related to such policies. The critical accounting policies used in
preparation of the Company's financial statements are described in Managements
Discussion and Analysis in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2003 and in the Company's Amendment No.3 to Form S-4
Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 12, 2004. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's
estimates. There have been no significant changes to the Company's critical
accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations are discussed below on a consolidated basis and by our
two segments, Diamond Jo (Iowa operations) and OED (Louisiana operations). The

============ ============ ============ ============
Three months ended September 30, 2004 Compared to Three months ended September
30, 2003
Net revenues increased 77.4% to $37.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 from $21.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 2003. Net revenues at OED increased $17.9 million to $23.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 from $5.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. Net revenues at OED increased due primarily to casino
revenues of
-45-
$16.5 million derived from OED's new racino which opened on December 19, 2003
and an increase in racing revenues of $0.6 million due to an increase in video
poker revenues of approximately $0.4 million at OED's renovated off-track
betting ("OTB") facility in Port Allen, Louisiana. Net revenues at the Diamond
Jo decreased $1.6 million to $13.9 million for the three months ended September
30, 2004 from $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This
decrease in net revenues at the Diamond Jo is due to a decrease in slot revenue
of 9.1%, or $1.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to a decrease in
coin-in of 7.9% over the same period. In addition, table game revenues at the
Diamond Jo decreased 22.1%, or $0.4 million, for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003,
primarily due to a decrease in hold percentage to 17.5% for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 compared to 19.7% during the three months ended
September 30, 2003. Had our hold percentage remained consistent with the prior
year, table game revenues would have decreased 12.6%, or $0.2 million based on
our actual drop during the three months ended September 30, 2004. Management
believes that a significant portion of the decrease in slot and table game
revenues can be attributed to the re-opening of a Native American casino
approximately 125 miles southwest of the Diamond Jo on January 1, 2004. This
casino was closed from mid May 2003 through December 2003.
Overall casino revenues increased $14.9 million to $30.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $15.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2003. Casino revenues of $16.5 million at OED
consisted solely of revenues from slot machines at OED's recently opened racino.
Casino win per gaming position per day at OED was $112 for the three months
ended September 30, 2004. Casino revenues at the Diamond Jo decreased 10.7% to
$13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $15.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was due to a 9.1%
decrease in slot revenues and a 22.1% decrease in table game revenues which is
primarily attributed to the re-opening of a nearby Native American casino as
discussed above. Casino revenues at the Diamond Jo were derived 89.3% from slot
machines and 10.7% from table games for the three months ended September 30,
2004 compared to 87.7% from slot machines and 12.3% from table games for the
three months ended September 30, 2003. Our slot win per unit per day at the
Diamond Jo decreased 11.5% to $176 for the three months ended September 30, 2004
from $199 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Our admissions at the
Diamond Jo for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased 5.0% to
298,000 from 314,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. For the
three months ended September 30, 2004 our casino win per admission at the
Diamond Jo decreased 6.0% to $46 from $48 for the three months ended September
30, 2003. Management believes this decrease in admissions and related win per
admission is primarily attributed to the re-opening of a nearby Native American
casino noted above.
Racing revenues at OED increased $0.6 million to $5.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 from $5.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. The increase in racing revenues is due to an increase
in video poker revenues of $0.4 million at OED's Port Allen OTB facility and an
increase in revenues generated from out-of-state signal fees.
Net food and beverage revenues, other revenues and promotional
allowances increased $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30,
2004 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 due primarily to food
and beverage revenues generated from OED's new racino.
Overall casino expenses increased $8.7 million to $14.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 from $5.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. Casino expenses of $8.9 million at OED were primarily
related to purse supplements and gaming taxes, which are based on net casino
revenues, and casino related payroll. Casino operating expenses at the Diamond
Jo decreased 3.5%, or $0.2 million, to $5.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 from $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30,
2003 due primarily to a decrease in gaming taxes at the Diamond Jo of
approximately $0.1 million associated with our decrease in casino revenues
partially offset by an increase in the gaming tax rate from 20% to 22% effective
July 1, 2004.
-46-
Racing expenses increased 10.1% to $4.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 from $4.4 million for the three months ended September
30, 2003 due primarily to an increase in franchise fees and operating expenses
of $0.2 million related to OED's video gaming devices at its renovated OTB in
Port Allen, Louisiana and an increase in purse expenses associated with an
increase in out-of-state signal fees generated by OED of approximately $0.1
million.
Food and beverage expenses increased $1.3 million to $2.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $1.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 due primarily to an increase in food and beverage
expenses at OED of $1.3 million primarily related to the opening of OED's new
racino. Boat operation expenses at the Diamond Jo were substantially unchanged
at $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Other
expenses increased $0.1 million due primarily to costs associated with OED's new
outdoor entertainment venue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million to
$5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $3.2 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2003. This increase was due primarily to an
increase in general and administrative expenses at OED of $2.7 million due
primarily to payroll, marketing and other general and administrative expenses
associated with the new racino.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $2.3 million to $3.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $0.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2003 due to depreciation of property and
equipment at OED's racino of approximately $2.2 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2004.
Pre-opening expenses of $0.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 relate to expenses incurred by OED with respect to start-up
activities surrounding the racino project. Management severance and recruiting
expenses of $0.6 million relate to severance costs incurred by the Company in
relation to turnover of upper management and various fees and expenses incurred
in finding new management personnel. Affiliate management fees of $0.3 million
during the three months ended September 30, 2004 relate to management fees paid
to related parties primarily related to a consulting agreement at OED for the
racino.
Income from operations increased $0.5 million to $5.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 from $4.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. OED's increase of $2.1 million is primarily due to the
new racino operation as discussed above partially offset by lower net revenues
of $1.6 million at Diamond Jo as described above.
Net interest expense, including interest expense related to DJL's
redeemable preferred member interests, decreased $0.4 million to $6.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $6.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease is primarily due to the
refinancing of the Company's long term debt with lower interest rates during the
second quarter of 2004. Interest expense of approximately $0.4 million and $0.7
million was capitalized as part of our construction of the racino during the
three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Nine months ended September 30, 2004 Compared to Nine months ended September 30,
2003
Net revenues increased 94.4% to $109.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 from $56.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2003. Net revenues at OED increased $55.4 million to $71.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $15.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. Net revenues at OED increased due primarily to casino
revenues of $51.2 million derived from OED's new racino which opened on December
19, 2003 and an increase in racing revenues of $2.0 million due primarily to an
increase in video poker revenues of approximately $1.8 million at OED's
renovated OTB in Port Allen, Louisiana. Net revenues at the Diamond Jo decreased
$2.2 million to $38.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from
$40.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease in net
revenues at the Diamond Jo is due to a decrease in slot revenue of 3.9%, or $1.4
million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to a decrease in coin-in of 4.3%
over the same period. In addition, table game revenues at the Diamond Jo
decreased 17.7%, or $0.9 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to a
decrease in hold percentage to 18.5% for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 compared to 20.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Had our
hold percentage remained consistent with the prior year, table game revenues
would have decreased 8.5%, or $0.4 million based on our actual drop during the
nine months ended September 30, 2004. Management believes that a significant
portion of the decrease in slot and table game revenues can be attributed to the
re-opening of a Native American casino approximately 125 miles southwest of the
Diamond Jo on January 1, 2004. This casino was closed from mid May 2003 through
December 2003.
Overall casino revenues increased $48.9 million to $89.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $40.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. Casino revenues of $51.2 million at OED consisted
solely of revenues from slot machines at OED's recently opened racino. Casino
win per gaming position per day at OED was $118 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. Casino revenues at the Diamond Jo decreased 5.6% to $37.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $40.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was due to a 3.9% decrease
in slot revenues and a 17.7% decrease in table game revenues which is primarily
attributed to the re-opening of a nearby Native American casino as discussed
above. Casino revenues at the Diamond Jo were derived 88.9% from slot machines
and 11.1% from table games for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared
to 87.3% from slot machines and 12.7% from table games for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. Our slot win per unit per day at the Diamond Jo decreased
6.8% to $164 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $176 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003. Our admissions at the Diamond Jo for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 decreased 1.4% to 786,000 from 797,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003. For the nine months ended September 30,
2004 our casino win per admission at the Diamond Jo decreased 4.3% to $48 from
$50 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Management believes this
decrease in admissions and related win per admission is primarily attributed to
the re-opening of a nearby Native American casino noted above.

Racing revenues at OED increased $2.0 million to $16.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $14.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. The increase in racing revenues is due primarily to an
increase in video poker revenues of $1.8 million at OED's Port Allen OTB
facility.
Net food and beverage revenues, other revenues and promotional
allowances increased $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 due primarily to food
and beverage revenues generated from OED's new racino.
Overall casino expenses increased $28.3 million to $44.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $16.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. Casino expenses of $28.2 million at OED were primarily
related to purse supplements and gaming taxes, which are based on net casino
revenues, and casino related payroll.
Racing expenses increased 15.7% to $13.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 from $11.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 due primarily to (i) an increase in franchise fees, purse supplements
and operating expenses of $1.4 million related to OED's video gaming devices at
its renovated OTB in Port Allen, Louisiana, (ii) an increase in payroll at our
racetrack of approximately $0.2 million related to a live quarterhorse meet that
was held beginning September 16, 2004 and running through October 31, 2004 (OED
did not conduct this live quarterhorse meet during 2003) and (iii) admission
fees related to the OTB located at the racino of approximately $0.2 million
(under current Louisiana law, OED must pay $0.25 to the Louisiana State Racing
Commission per patron entering a building in which OED has an OTB, including the
new racino).
Food and beverage expenses increased $4.3 million to $7.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $2.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 due primarily to an increase in food and beverage
expenses at OED of $4.3 million related to the opening of OED's new racino. Boat
operation expenses at the Diamond Jo were substantially unchanged at $1.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Other expenses
increased $0.6 million due primarily to costs associated with OED's new outdoor
entertainment venue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.5 million to
$15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $8.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This increase was due primarily to an
increase in general and administrative expenses at OED of $8.1 million due
primarily to payroll, marketing and other general and administrative expenses
associated with the new racino, offset by a decrease in accrued management
bonuses of approximately $0.3 million.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $6.5 million to $8.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $2.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003 due to depreciation of property and
equipment at OED's racino of approximately $6.2 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, we performed our
annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets in
accordance with SFAS No. 142. Based on that review, management determined that
there was no impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets.
Pre-opening expenses of $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, relate to expenses
incurred by OED with respect to start-up activities surrounding the racino
project, including pre-opening costs associated with the continued construction
of
-50-
the racetrack portion of the project. Management severance and recruiting
expenses of $0.6 million relate to severance costs incurred by the Company in
relation to turnover of upper management and various fees and expenses incurred
in finding new management personnel. Affiliate management fees of $0.7 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 relate to management fees to
related parties primarily related to a consulting agreement at OED for the
racino.
Income from operations increased $3.2 million to $14.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $11.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. OED's income from operations increased by $6.7 million
due to the new racino operation as discussed above partially offset by lower net
revenues of $2.2 million at Diamond Jo as described above.
Net interest expense, including loss on early retirement of debt and
interest expense related to DJL's redeemable preferred member interests,
increased $39.8 million to $58.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 from $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This
increase is primarily due to the loss on early retirement of debt of $37.6
million related to our debt refinancing activities discussed below under
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The remaining difference is primarily related
to the timing of the offering of the OED Notes, which occurred on February 25,
2003. Interest expense of approximately $0.9 million and $1.2 million was
capitalized as part of our construction of the racino during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities
Our cash balance decreased $4.3 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 to $16.9 million from $21.2 million at December 31, 2003.
Cash flows from operating activities declined by $15.4 million to a use
of $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to a use
of $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decline is
primarily due to tender and call premiums paid on early retirement of debt of
$22.0 million, partially offset by cash generated from OED's racino operation.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 was $3.2 million consisting of cash inflows of (i) draws from restricted
cash accounts held by the trustee of the OED Notes of approximately $20.0
million and (ii) cash proceeds from the maturity and sale of restricted
investments of $15.8 million. These cash inflows were offset by (i) payments of
approximately $35.4 million for construction, architecture fees and other
development costs associated with the racino project and (ii) cash outflows of
approximately $3.4 million used for capital expenditures mainly related to the
purchase of new slot machines at DJL and conversions of slot machines at OED to
incorporate ticket-in, ticket-out technology, which we believe enhances customer
service, produces operating efficiencies and eliminates hopper fills and the
down time associated with them. In September 2004, we entered into agreements
with various slot machine manufacturers to purchase approximately 783 slot
machines, of which 366 are to be installed at the Diamond Jo for a total
purchase price of approximately $4.3 million and 417 are to be installed at OED
for a total purchase price of approximately $5.2 million, all during the fourth
quarter of 2004. The slot machine purchases will be financed by the
manufacturers over a thirty-six month period. All of the new slot machines will
be equipped with ticket-in, ticket-out technology which, upon installations,
will result in having ticket-in, ticket-out technology installed in 100% of the
slot machines at the Diamond Jo and in over 95% of the slot machines at OED,
thus further enhancing customer service and operating efficiencies associated
with this technology. We expect additional capital expenditures at DJL and OED
(other than the capital expenditures related to the racino project and the slot
purchase noted above) to be approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million,
respectively, for the year ended December 31,
-51-
2004. We expect to meet our regulatory requirements for the racino project for
fiscal 2004 with related additional capital expenditures of approximately $2.5
million. Consistent with our regulatory requirements, we also expect to continue
construction on our turf track during fiscal 2005.
Cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 of $19.0 million reflects (i) net proceeds from the offering
of the Peninsula Gaming Notes of approximately $229.7 million, (ii) proceeds
from advances under the revolver portion of the PGL Credit Facility of
approximately $15.9 million, (iii) proceeds from the initial draw under the Term
Loan portion of the PGL Credit Facility of approximately $14.7 million and (iv)
proceeds from OED's draws under the OED FF&E Facility of $3.5 million. These
proceeds were offset by (i) redemption of $71.0 million aggregate principal
amount of DJL Notes, (ii) redemption of $116.3 million aggregate principal
amount of OED Notes, (iii) aggregate principal payments on borrowings under the
OED FF&E Facility of $16.0 million, (iv) aggregate principal payments on
borrowings under the DJL Credit Facility of $11.3 million, (v) aggregate
principal payments on borrowings under the OED Credit Facility of $5.0 million,
(vi) aggregate principal payments on borrowings under the revolver portion of
the PGL Credit Facility of $4.0 million, (vii) aggregate principal payments
under the Term Loan of $1.0 million, (viii) aggregate principal payments on
notes payable of $0.3 million, (ix) payment of fees and expenses associated with
the offering of the Peninsula Gaming Notes and the consummation of the PGL
Credit Facility of approximately $13.3 million and (x) member distributions of
approximately $6.4 Million.
As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $11.9 million and $13.7
million outstanding under the revolver portion and Term Loan portion of the PGL
Credit Facility, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2004, the
Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $4.0 million.
Financing Activities
On March 9, 2004, OED commenced a tender offer and consent solicitation
to repurchase all of its outstanding OED Notes and to solicit consents to
certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the OED Notes as set
forth in OED's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated March
9, 2004. On March 19, 2004, the expiration date of the consent solicitation, OED
received the requisite consents and tenders from holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding OED Notes. The tender offer
expired on April 5, 2004, and OED redeemed approximately $116.3 million
principal amount of the OED Notes.
On April 16, 2004, DJL and PGC completed a Rule 144A private placement
of $233 million principal amount of 8 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (the
"Peninsula Gaming Notes"). The Peninsula Gaming Notes were issued at a discount
of approximately $3.3 million. Interest on the Peninsula Gaming Notes is payable
semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15,
2004. Upon the corporate restructuring, PGL became a co-issuer of the Peninsula
Notes.
The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Peninsula Gaming
Notes as follows (all payments based on outstanding balances as of April 16,
2004): (1) to irrevocably deposit funds into an escrow account to redeem all of
the DJL Notes in an amount (including call premium and accrued interest) of
approximately $79.9 million; (2) to repurchase approximately $116.3 million
principal amount of OED Notes for an aggregate amount (including tender premium,
accrued interest and contingent interest) of approximately $134.6 million; (3)
to pay accrued distributions on DJL's outstanding preferred membership
interests-redeemable of approximately $1.1 million; (4) to pay related fees and
expenses of approximately $13.4 million; and (5) for general corporate purposes.
As a result of the issuance of the Peninsula Gaming Notes, DJL incurred a loss
of approximately $8.7 million consisting of the write-off of deferred financing
fees of approximately $2.0 million, the payment of a call premium on the DJL
Notes of approximately $5.7 million, interest on the DJL Notes of approximately
$0.7 million and write-off of
-52-
bond discount of approximately $0.3 million. In connection therewith, OED also
incurred a loss of approximately $27.9 million consisting of the write-off of
deferred financing fees of approximately $8.4 million, the payment of a tender
premium on the OED Notes of approximately $16.3 million, write-off of bond
discount of approximately $2.1 million and consent fees of approximately $1.1
million. In addition, OED and DJL wrote off $0.9 million of deferred financing
fees related to the refinancing of the credit facilities discussed below.
On June 16, 2004, DJL and OED jointly entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. as the Arranger and Agent (the "PGL
Credit Facility"). The PGL Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit
facility which permits DJL and OED to request advances and letters of credit up
to the lesser of the maximum revolver amount of $35 million (less amounts
outstanding under letters of credit) and a specified borrowing base (the
"Borrowing Base"). For the purposes of the PGL Credit Facility, the Borrowing
Base is the lesser of the Combined EBITDA (as defined in the PGL Credit
Facility) of OED and DJL for the twelve months immediately preceding the current
month end multiplied by 150% and the Combined EBITDA of OED and DJL for the most
recent quarterly period annualized multiplied by 150%. At September 30, 2004,
the maximum revolver amount was $35.0 million. Immediately upon the closing of
the PGL Credit Facility, the Company borrowed approximately $15.9 million to
refinance outstanding obligations under the DJL Credit Facility and the OED
Credit Facility and pay financing related fees and expenses. Advances under the
PGL Credit Facility bear an interest rate based on the borrower's option of
LIBOR plus a margin 3.0% -3.5% or Wells Fargo prime rate plus a margin of 0.5%
- -1.0% (current rate of 5.75%) however, at no time shall the interest rate be
lower than 4.0%.
The PGL Credit Facility also contains a Term Loan in the amount of
$14,666,667. The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay outstanding
obligations under the FF&E Credit Facility. The Term Loan is secured by certain
assets of OED and requires monthly payments of $333,333 starting July 1, 2004
until the full balance is paid, with a maturity no later than June 16, 2008. The
Term Loan has an interest rate equal to the Wells Fargo prime rate plus 2.5%
(current rate of 7.25%) however, at no time shall the interest rate be lower
than 6.0%. Under the terms of the PGL Credit Facility, at closing the Company
was required to issue a letter of credit in the amount of $3.2 million in favor
of Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. related to the Term Loan.
We currently have the following sources of funds for our business: (i)
cash flows from OED's existing racetrack operations and casino operations, (ii)
cash flows from DJL's existing casino operations, and (iii) available borrowings
under the PGL Credit Facility of $19.1 million as of September 30, 2004.
Our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our
future operations including, but not limited to, the following: (i) a
significant portion of our cash flow from operations will be required to pay
interest on our indebtedness and the indebtedness of our subsidiaries; (ii) the
financial covenants contained in certain of the agreements governing such
indebtedness will require us and/or our subsidiaries to meet certain financial
tests and may limit our respective abilities to borrow additional funds or to
dispose of assets; (iii) our ability to obtain additional financing in the
future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general
corporate purposes may be impaired; and (iv) our ability to adapt to changes in
the gaming industry which affect the markets in which we operate could be
limited.
Subject to the foregoing, we believe that cash and cash equivalents,
cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our existing
credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital
expenditure requirements, and satisfy our other current debt service
requirements, including interest payments on the Peninsula Gaming Notes and the
OED Notes, for the next twelve months. If cash and cash equivalents on-hand or
cash we are able to generate or borrow are insufficient to meet our 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
PGL Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $25.6 million in
borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility, including borrowings under the Term
Loan, that have variable interest rates. 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 the
Company borrows the maximum amount allowed under the PGL Credit Facility
(currently an aggregate amount of $48.7 million), if market rates of interest on
our variable rate debt increased by one percentage point, the estimated
additional annual interest expense would be approximately $0.5 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 borrowings. 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 as of September 30, 2004 (dollars in
millions):

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15) as of September 30,
2004, have concluded that as of such date the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were adequate and effective and designed to ensure that material
information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries would be made known to
such officers on a timely basis.

changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

than litigation arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that
adverse determinations in any or all such other litigation would have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
