DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE Not applicable. - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL. Aladdin Gaming Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Gaming Enterprises"), was established on December 3, 1997. Gaming Enterprises holds a 25% interest in Aladdin Gaming Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Gaming Holdings") which was established on December 1, 1997. Gaming Holdings initially was owned by Gaming Enterprises (25%), Sommer Enterprises, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Sommer Enterprises") (72%), and GAI, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("GAI") (3%). On February 26, 1998, London Clubs International plc ("London Clubs"), through its subsidiary London Clubs Nevada Inc. ("LCNI"), contributed $50 million for a 25% interest in Gaming Holdings common membership interests ("Holdings Common Membership Interests"). Sommer Enterprises contributed a portion of land for Holdings Common Membership Interests. Gaming Enterprises, which is owned 100% by Sommer Enterprises, contributed a portion of land, $7 million of predevelopment costs and $15 million in cash for Holdings Common Membership Interests. After the additional contributions, Sommer Enterprises owns 47% of Gaming Holdings, Gaming Enterprises owns 25% of Gaming Holdings, LCNI owns 25% of Gaming Holdings, and GAI owns 3% of Gaming Holdings. On November 30, 1998, the Trust Under Article Sixth u/w/o Sigmund Sommer ("Sommer Trust") and its affiliates agreed that they will cause Sommer Enterprises and Gaming Enterprises to vote their respective Holdings Common Membership Interests so that (taking into account Holdings Common Membership Interests held by London Clubs or its affiliates) London Clubs controls fifty percent of the voting power of Gaming Holdings. In December 1999, the holders of Holdings Common Membership Interests agreed to restate the capital structure of Gaming Holdings, which restatement provided, in addition to other matters, that LCNI has an option to convert certain preferred membership interests of Gaming Holdings into 15% of Holdings Common Membership Interests, the creation of certain new classes of preferred membership interests and for LCNI's control of the majority of the Board of Managers of Gaming Holdings; however, most material decisions remain subject to the supermajority consent of Gaming Holdings members. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Aladdin Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AHL"), indirectly holds a majority interest in Gaming Holdings. The members of AHL are the Sommer Trust which holds a 95% interest in AHL and GW Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("GW"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Trust Company of the West ("TCW"), which holds a 5% interest in AHL. Gaming Enterprises has no other business or activity other than its investment in Gaming Holdings, which is a development stage company and Gaming Enterprises' sole material asset is 25% of the Holdings Common Membership Interests. Gaming Holdings is a holding company, the material assets of which are 100% of the outstanding common membership interests and 100% of the outstanding Series A preferred interests of Aladdin Gaming, LLC ("Gaming"). Aladdin Capital Corp. ("Capital") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gaming Holdings and was incorporated solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of the 13 1/2% Senior Discount Notes ("Notes") issued by Gaming Holdings and Capital in 1998. For further details relating to the Notes, and the Indenture relating to the Notes ("Note Indenture"), see Exhibit 4.1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on April 9, 1998. Capital will not have any material operations or assets and will not have any revenues. Gaming Holdings, through its subsidiaries, also owns 100% of Aladdin Music, LLC ("Aladdin Music'). Except where the context otherwise requires Gaming Holdings and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as "Company." Much of the following information relates to Gaming Holdings and its subsidiaries and is included due to the relative significance of Gaming Holdings to Gaming Enterprises. 2 NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ALADDIN. The operations of the Company have been primarily limited to the design, development, financing and construction of a new Aladdin Resort & Casino ("Aladdin"). The Aladdin will be the centerpiece of an approximately 35-acre world-class resort, casino and entertainment complex ("Complex") located on the site of the former Aladdin hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the center of Las Vegas Boulevard ("Strip"). The Aladdin has been designed to include a luxury-themed hotel of approximately 2,567 rooms ("Hotel"), an approximately 116,000 square foot casino ("Casino"), an approximately 1,200-seat production showroom and six restaurants. The Hotel will have 1,832 deluxe guestrooms, 404 resort guestrooms, 258 suites, 46 luxury rooms and 27 mega suites for a total of 2,567 rooms. In addition, the Hotel will provide recreational facilities for the guests, including a health spa and outdoor swimming pool complex. The Aladdin is expected to include six restaurants offering a wide range of dining selections. Food service facilities at the Aladdin will include a buffet, contemporary Asian restaurant and a 24-hour casual dining facility. The mezzanine level, which will offer panoramic views of the main casino floor and Las Vegas Boulevard, will feature an Italian restaurant, a steakhouse, and a casual dining/coffee bar. The Casino's main gaming area will contain approximately 2,800 slot machines, 87 table games, keno and a race and sports book facility. Included on a separate level of the Casino will be a 15,000 square foot luxurious gaming section ("The London Club at Aladdin") that is expected to contain approximately 20 to 30 high denomination table games and approximately 100 high denomination slot machines. See "Strategic Alliances-London Clubs." The Aladdin is also expected to include on the mezzanine level of the main building over 90,000 square feet of convention, conference, trade show and reception facilities, including a 37,000-square foot main ballroom, 12,000 square feet of pre-function space and 41,000 square feet of breakout space in 15 separate rooms. THE COMPLEX. The Complex, which has been designed to promote casino traffic and to provide customers with a wide variety of entertainment alternatives, will comprise: (i) the Aladdin; (ii) a themed entertainment shopping mall with approximately 496,000 square feet of retail space ("Desert Passage"); (iii) a second hotel and casino with a music and entertainment theme ("Aladdin Music Project"); (iv) the newly renovated 7,000 seat Theater of the Performing Arts ("Theater"); and (v) an approximately 4,800 space car parking facility ("Carpark" and, together with the Desert Passage, hereinafter, "Mall Project"). The Mall Project will be separately owned in part by an affiliate of the Company and Aladdin Music is currently seeking a joint venture partner for the Aladdin Music Project. See "Narrative Description of Business--Aladdin Music Project." The theming of the Aladdin and the Desert Passage has been designed to create an environment based upon the Legends of the 1001 Arabian Nights, including the tales of Aladdin, Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, Sinbad and other legendary stories woven around ancient wealth and wonders. The Aladdin theme will be carefully crafted through the interior and exterior architecture of the Complex. The Aladdin's exterior will be designed to include a highly articulated streetscape and exterior facade that invokes the Legends of the 1001 Arabian Nights. The interior of the Aladdin will utilize rich colors, textures and design, enhancing the fantasy of a mystical, romantic time and place. A significant feature of the Desert Passage will be the themed area to be known as the "Lost City." The Lost City is expected to contain a re-creation of an ancient mystical mountain city and will house a variety of specialty shops and restaurants underneath a 85-foot high ceiling. DESERT PASSAGE. Aladdin Bazaar Holdings, LLC ("Bazaar Holdings"), which is owned 99% by the Sommer Trust, and TrizecHahn Bazaar Centers, Inc. ("THB"), a subsidiary of TrizecHahn Centers, Inc. ("TrizecHahn"), have entered into a joint venture agreement and formed Aladdin Bazaar, LLC ("Aladdin Bazaar") to develop, construct, own and operate the Desert Passage. The Desert Passage, which is 3 contemplated to contain approximately 496,000 square feet of retail space, is expected to include an array of high fashion specialty stores, exotic boutiques, theme restaurants, cafes, and other entertainment offerings. The Desert Passage will be directly connected to the Casino and the Aladdin Music Project upon its completion. ALADDIN MUSIC PROJECT. The Company, through its subsidiary Aladdin Music, is pursuing prospective joint venture partners for the development, construction and opening of the Aladdin Music Project, a music and entertainment-themed hotel casino. The Aladdin Music Project, which is expected to be developed as a second phase by the Company, is expected to include a hotel with approximately 1,000 rooms, a 50,000 square foot casino, three restaurants, including a music-themed restaurant, a 1,500-person nightclub, a health spa and an outdoor swimming pool. Although the Company has not yet secured a joint venture partner, it has expended certain funds on the Aladdin Music Project. While the Company is pursuing prospective joint venture partners and acceptable financing for the Aladdin Music Project, there can be no assurance that the Company will secure an acceptable joint venture partner and secure financing on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. Without securing an acceptable joint venture partner and financing, there is no assurance that the Company will proceed with the development of the Aladdin Music Project. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES The Company has formed strategic alliances with certain third parties that the Company believes to be uniquely qualified for the development and operation of the Complex. LONDON CLUBS. London Clubs, a prestigious multi-national casino operator, owns through LCNI 25% of the outstanding Holdings Common Membership Interests, and preferred interests that are convertible, at the option of LCNI, into an additional 15% of the Holdings Common Membership Interests. The Sommer Trust and its affiliates agreed that they will cause Sommer Enterprises and Gaming Enterprises to vote their respective Holdings Common Membership Interests so that (taking into account Holdings Common Membership Interests held by London Clubs or its affiliates) London Clubs controls fifty percent of the voting power of Gaming Holdings. Further, the holders of Holding Common Membership Interests entered into an agreement, dated December 10, 1999, which provided, among other matters, that LCNI has the option to convert certain preferred membership interests of Gaming Holdings into 15% of Holdings Common Membership Interests, for the creation of certain new classes of preferred membership interests and, while most material decisions remain subject to the supermajority consent of the members, for LCNI's control of a majority of the Board of Managers of Gaming Holdings. See "Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." London Clubs has extensive experience in the international marketing of casinos to premium players and maintains a strong presence in the United Kingdom (where it controls the largest share of the London casino market) and the Middle East. In addition to its equity ownership of Gaming Holdings, London Clubs, through its subsidiary LCNI, will direct the operations of, and act as marketing consultant to, The London Club at Aladdin, the luxurious 30,000 square foot area, which includes 15,000 square feet of gaming area, to be located on the mezzanine level of the Casino which will be designed to cater to the needs of the premium-play guest. The Company believes that The London Club at Aladdin will be the first of its kind in the United States managed by a European operator and based on the European concept of luxurious, full service gaming areas for premium players. The London Club at Aladdin's primary business and marketing focus will be to access London Clubs' worldwide member base of upscale casino clientele. The London Club at Aladdin Hotel guests will be escorted through a private entrance to a dedicated registration lobby and then taken via a private elevator to the suites located on the top two floors. Once there, the 24-hour butler and concierge will cater to the care and comfort of The London Club at Aladdin guest. In the elegantly appointed The London Club at Aladdin, the customer may dine in the 100-seat exclusive restaurant, which will offer fine cuisine from around the world. 4 London Clubs has extensive experience in the international marketing of casinos to premium players. London Clubs operates seven casinos in London, one near Johannesburg, South Africa, two in Egypt and one in Lebanon. Each of London Clubs' casinos offers its own individual style, but with comparable internationally recognized standards of service. In recent years, London Clubs has embarked upon a period of expansion, acquiring the Park Tower Casino in London's Knightsbridge in October, 1995, reopening and managing the casino operations of the famous Casino du Liban in Lebanon in December, 1996, and the opening of the Emerald Safari Casino Resort in South Africa in December, 1998. London Clubs provides the Aladdin with an extensive international network of premium casino players, having established substantial goodwill and customer loyalty from high-end customers in the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. In addition, London Clubs is an experienced service provider to high-end gaming customers and brings a wealth of knowledge to the Aladdin in building and maintaining relationships with and customer loyalty from such clientele. London Clubs also provides the Company with superb promotional opportunities, not only by word of mouth through its network of contacts, but also through international sporting sponsorships, including horse racing and motor racing and its international print publications, which are distributed to members worldwide utilizing London Clubs' substantial database of premium clientele. TRIZECHAHN. The Mall Project will be owned, developed and operated by Aladdin Bazaar, a joint venture between Bazaar Holdings and TBH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TrizecHahn. TrizecHahn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TrizecHahn Corporation, a publicly traded real estate company. TrizecHahn was the developer of the Fashion Show Shopping Mall on the Strip and other major shopping malls including Horton Plaza in San Diego, Bridgewater Commons in New Jersey, Valley Fair in San Jose and Park Meadows in Denver. The Company believes that TrizecHahn's proven ability in designing well laid-out retail centers, attracting high quality tenants and successfully promoting and operating its retail projects will benefit the Aladdin by attracting a consistent stream of visitors to the Complex and its various attractions. NORTHWIND. The Complex, once fully constructed, will require substantial amounts of electricity, hot and cold water and heating and cooling. For this purpose, the Company has entered into certain agreements with Northwind Aladdin, LLC ("Northwind"), for the construction of a central utility plant ("Plant") to supply electricity and hot and cold water to certain parts of the Complex. STRATEGY The Company's business and marketing strategies are linked together by the Complex's premier location, its design, mixed-use theme development and strategic partnering. CREATE A "MUST-SEE" DESTINATION. The Company believes that the Aladdin, with its unique, well-executed design, together with the Desert Passage and the renovated Theater, will ensure its place as a "must-see" destination. The Company plans to support the Aladdin theme by an interior design enhancing the fantasy of a mystical and romantic time and place. The Company believes that the Aladdin's main Casino traffic will be driven not only by Hotel guests, but also by the customers directly attracted from the Strip, and that visitor traffic to the Aladdin will also be enhanced by the attractiveness of the Desert Passage. With the addition of the Aladdin Music Project during the second phase of developing the Complex, the Complex will have a combined room count of approximately 3,600 rooms and appeal to what the Company perceives to be a broad customer demographic. MARKETING POSITIONING. The Company intends to focus on three different market segments to attract customers to the Aladdin: - UPSCALE CLIENTELE. The Hotel has been designed to appeal to the upscale clientele, providing the amenities and level of service such high-end guests expect. In particular, 24% of the Hotel's guest 5 rooms and suites will have an area exceeding 620 square feet. Each of the rooms and suites will have a large four or five fixture bathroom with a separate shower, bathtub, up to two washbasins and an enclosed watercloset. The Hotel will provide recreational facilities for its guests, including a health spa and two outdoor swimming pools. The Company intends to promote the Hotel's many features to the upscale market through a variety of media, including high-end print publications, travel agents and event sponsorships. A targeted relationship marketing program is expected to ensure clientele retention and repeat visitation. - PREMIUM PLAYER CLIENTELE. The Company believes that The London Club at Aladdin will be the first of its kind in the United States managed by a European operator and based on the European concept of full-service gaming areas for premium players. The focus on The London Club at Aladdin's business is expected to be the wealthy clientele that form the core of London Clubs' business in London and elsewhere. The Hotel will include 30 suites primarily for use by premium players of Aladdin and The London Club at Aladdin. The Company intends to maintain The London Club at Aladdin's premium player atmosphere through more sophisticated dining options, higher table limits and more formal levels of service and dress. - UPPER-MIDDLE MARKET CLIENTELE. The Hotel's variety of guest rooms and restaurants and the 1,200-seat production showroom, combined with the heavily-themed Casino, Theater and Desert Passage, are expected to appeal broadly to the upper-middle market guest. In addition, the Aladdin Music Project, which will be developed as the second phase of the Complex, is expected to appeal to the upper-middle market by attracting younger, affluent customers to the Complex through its music and entertainment-based theme. The Theater, which is expected to be a major feature of the Complex, will be central to the Company's promotional strategies for this market segment, with publicity expected to be gained through the booking of popular performers. The Company intends to use cooperative advertising and promotion through various media, such as television, radio and print, will be used to promote the Complex to the upper-middle market. CONSTRUCTION BUDGET AND SCHEDULE Fluor Daniel, Inc. is the design/builder ("Design/Builder") of the Aladdin. The Design/Builder has entered into a guaranteed maximum price design/build contract ("Design/Build Contract") (subject to scope changes) with the Company to design and construct the Aladdin. The Design/Build Contract provides the Design/Builder with incentives for completing the Aladdin prior to the Contract Completion Date (as defined herein) and within budget and for payment of liquidated damages to the Company for certain delays. The Design/Build Contract is guaranteed by Fluor Corporation, the parent of the Design/ Builder, subject to certain limitations described in Exhibit 10.15 to this Form 10-K. An equitable adjustment in the Contract Completion Date and guaranteed maximum price may be made for changes that either increase or decrease the Design/Builder's time for performance and/or cost of construction outside what was contemplated in the Design/Build Contract. For the scope of work outside of the Design/ Build Contract, Gaming has entered into various guaranteed maximum price construction contracts, which provide for completion of the respective work on or before the completion date of the Aladdin. 6 The development of the Aladdin commenced during the first quarter of 1998. The Aladdin originally was required by the terms of its financing arrangement to be completed and opened to the public by June 26, 2000. On January 28, 2000, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Administrative Agent under Gaming's Bank Credit Facility, (as defined in "Item 7--Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"), confirmed the existence of certain force majeure events and extended the outside completion deadline to August 17, 2000. The Company currently believes that the completion of the Aladdin will occur during August 2000, assuming acceleration. The Aladdin project budget ("Budget") was $826 million when Gaming and Gaming Holdings entered into arrangements to finance construction of the Aladdin in February 1998. Since that time and to March 1, 2000, the Budget was increased by an aggregate of $87.8 million to $913 million, which amounts were funded pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty by London Clubs and the Sommer Trust. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between London Clubs and the Sommer Trust, dated February 26, 1998 ("Contribution Agreement"), Sommer Trust and London Clubs agreed that any amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty would be funded 75% by the Sommer Trust and 25% by London Clubs. Effective as of October 1, 1999, these contribution percentages were amended to be 60% in the case of the Sommer Trust and 40% in the case of London Clubs. Notwithstanding the Contribution Agreement, the $87.8 million Budget increase was funded approximately $83.5 million by London Clubs and approximately $4.3 million by the Sommer Trust. During March 2000, the Company completed a review of the estimated total costs to complete and open the Aladdin and, as a result of that review, increased the Budget by $60.4 million. The Company advised the Sommer Trust and London Clubs of the need to fund such increase pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty. The Sommer Trust advised the Company and London Clubs that it is not at this time making any capital contribution in order to fund any portion of this Budget increase of $60.4 million. In light of the joint and several obligation of the Bank Completion Guaranty, London Clubs has advised the Company that it would fund all of this Budget increase by (a) providing a cash equity contribution to the Company of approximately $13.1 million, which the Company received on March 30, 2000, and (b) establishing a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $47.3 million to be used to fund the Budget increase. The Company believes that the Budget as set out above is reasonable and can be achieved. The Company has submitted the following disputes with the Design/Builder to arbitration ("Arbitration") pursuant to the provisions of the Design/Build Contract: caisson and foundation issues; adjustment of contract allowance; ballroom ceiling heights; trash chutes and laundry chutes; pool area redesign; increases to site work allowance; drywall changes to hotel tower; temporary supply lines; plumbing fixture selections; incentive payments; acceleration; general conditions; and design and project management issues (collectively, "Claims"). The Company believes that these Claims relate to design and work which is base contract work contemplated in the Design/Build Contract and therefore allocated to the Design/ Builder, or alternatively, that the work in question was required as a result of the Design/Builder's failure to provide timely and appropriate design services, which design services the Design/Builder was solely responsible for under the Design/Build Contract, and therefore, the Claims are not an appropriate basis for a change order modifying the Design/Build Contract and the contract time for completion date ("Contract Completion Date"). The Design/Builder has responded to the Company's Claims alleging, among other things, that the Claims relate to unforeseen conditions, and/or are due to the actions of the Company, therefore, the Company is responsible for all costs and delays associated with the Claims. While the Company intends to aggressively and vigorously pursue the Claims, and believes that it will ultimately prevail in the Arbitration, the Claims are only in the preliminary stages of the Arbitration process, and therefore, no assurances can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome. The Design/Builder has presented change orders in the amount of approximately $13.8 million, of which the Company has funded $8.3 million, for the Claims and the Company disputes this amount. However, if the Company is not successful on all the Claims, it could be obligated for all or a part of the remaining amounts claimed by the Design/Builder. Further, if the Company does not prevail on the delay Claims, the Contract Completion Date would be extended, and to the extent Design/Builder completes the Project prior to the revised 7 Contract Completion Date, the Design/Builder would be entitled to an early completion bonus of $100,000 per day (up to a maximum of 90 days). Any such payments by the Company would increase the Project's budget. Notwithstanding the Arbitration, work on the Project continues. Given the significant risks and unforeseen contingencies inherent in the construction process, especially a large scale construction project such as the Aladdin, it is possible that construction costs could be significantly higher than budget and that delays could occur. Such risks and contingencies include, for example, potential shortages of materials and labor, work stoppages, labor disputes, weather interference, unforeseen engineering, environmental or geological problems and unanticipated cost increases, any of which could be beyond the Company's control, and any of which could give rise to delays or cost increases. In addition, difficulties in obtaining any of the requisite licenses, permits, allocations or authorizations from regulatory authorities could also increase the total cost, delay or prevent the construction or opening of the Aladdin or their other components of the Complex or otherwise affect their respective design and features. If construction costs do exceed the amounts set forth in the construction budget, it is expected the potential sources to pay such excess include: (a) the $31.8 million contingency fund of which $22.7 million has been utilized as of December 31, 1999; (b) London Clubs, the Sommer Trust and Bazaar Holdings pursuant to their obligations under the Bank Completion Guaranty of which approximately $67.2 million has been contributed through December 31, 1999; and (c) the Design/Builder, pursuant to its liability under the Design/Build Contract, which liability is guaranteed by Fluor Corporation (subject to certain limitations discussed above). While management believes that its estimates are reasonable, and that the projected targets can be met, there can be no assurance that the Complex will be completed within the time period or budget currently contemplated. In addition, if the additional identified potential funding sources are insufficient or unavailable to fully cover any excess, the Company could be materially and adversely affected. So, while management believes that its estimates are reasonable, and that the projected targets can be met, there can be no assurance that the Complex, including the Aladdin, will be completed within the time period or budget currently contemplated. Failure to complete the Aladdin on budget or on schedule may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial operations. The Aladdin, together with the Theater and Desert Passage, is expected to be developed as the first phase of a planned two-phase redevelopment of the Complex. In the second phase, subject to the discussion herein, Aladdin Music plans to develop the Aladdin Music Project. It is currently anticipated that the Aladdin Music Project will open within approximately 24 months after financing and a joint venture partner are secured. The completion and full operation of the Aladdin is not contingent upon the subsequent financing or completion of the Mall Project or the Aladdin Music Project and there can be no assurance that either the Mall Project or the Aladdin Music Project will be completed. If the Mall Project is not completed, the Company will be required to expend additional amounts, which amounts have not been quantified by the Company, with respect to the completion of shared structural space and the cost of parking. COMPETITION The hotel and casino industry is highly competitive. Hotels located on or near the Strip ("Strip Hotels") compete with other Strip Hotels and with other major hotels in downtown Las Vegas. Aladdin will compete with a large number of hotel casinos in the Las Vegas area, with many of the competitors being subsidiaries or divisions of large public companies that may have greater financial or other resources than the Company. Competitors of the Aladdin will include themed resorts on the Strip such as Bellagio, Mandalay Bay Resort, Mirage, Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, Bally's Casino Resort, Monte Carlo Resort & Casino, Luxor Hotel and Casino, Paris Casino Resort and Venetian Hotel Casino. Aladdin is the only major resort 8 casino planned to open on the Strip in 2000. Several other Las Vegas resort casinos have announced future expansions; however, none of these expansions has commenced. The hotel casino operations of the Company will also compete, to some extent, with other hotel casino facilities in Nevada, Atlantic City and worldwide and with the state lotteries. In addition, certain states have recently legalized, and others may or are likely to legalize, casino gaming in specific areas. The passage of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act in 1988 has led to increases in American Indian gaming operations. The Company expects many competitors to enter such new jurisdictions that authorize gaming. Some of these competitors may have greater financial and other resources than the Company. The Company believes that the legalization of large-scale land-based casino gaming in or near certain major metropolitan areas, particularly in California, from which the Company expects to attract customers could have a material adverse effect on the Las Vegas market. Such proliferation of gaming activities could significantly and adversely affect the business of the Company. The Desert Passage will compete with retail malls in or near Las Vegas, including the Fashion Show Mall, the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, the Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Hotel Casino, the themed mall attraction being constructed at the Mandalay Bay Resort, and retailers in theme-oriented resorts, all of which may attract consumers away from the Desert Passage and the Complex. EMPLOYEES As of March 15, 2000, the Company had approximately 140 employees. The Company anticipates that immediately prior to completion of the Aladdin, it will employ approximately 3,800 employees in connection with the Aladdin. The Company has undertaken a major recruiting and training program prior to the opening of the Aladdin at a time when other major new facilities have completed recruiting employees. The Company believes it will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified individuals to operate the Aladdin, however, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so. Furthermore, the Company does not know whether or to what extent such employees will be covered by collective bargaining agreements, as that determination will be ultimately made by such employees. SERVICE MARKS The Company owns four federally registered trademarks utilizing "Aladdin" for use in connection with casinos and casino entertainment services and hotel and restaurant services (collectively, "Marks"). The company has filed the appropriate documentation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to ensure the validity of its Marks through the period of time the Aladdin is under construction. A lien on the Marks was granted to the Bank Lenders on February 26, 1998. REGULATION AND LICENSING The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in the state of Nevada are subject to: (i) the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, "Nevada Act"); and (ii) various local regulations (collectively, "Gaming Approvals"). The operation of the Casino by the Company will be subject to the licensing and regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming Commission ("Nevada Commission"), the Nevada State Gaming Control Board ("Nevada Board"), and the Clark County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board ("CCLGLB"). The Nevada Commission, the Nevada Board, and the CCLGLB are collectively referred to as the "Nevada Gaming Authorities." The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Nevada Gaming Authorities are based upon declarations of public policy that are concerned with, among other things: (i) the prevention of unsavory or unsuitable persons from having a direct or indirect involvement with gaming at any time or in any capacity; (ii) the establishment and maintenance of responsible accounting practices and procedures; (iii) the maintenance of effective controls over the financial practices of licensees, including the establishment of minimum procedures for internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of assets and revenues, providing 9 reliable record keeping and requiring the filing of periodic reports with the Nevada Gaming Authorities; (iv) the prevention of cheating and fraudulent practices; and (v) providing a source of state and local revenues through taxation and licensing fees. Any change in such laws, regulations and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the proposed gaming operations of the Aladdin and the financial condition and results of operations of Aladdin Gaming, LLC, which is defined for this section only as "Company." As operator and manager of the Aladdin, the Company will conduct nonrestricted gaming operations at the Casino and so will be required to be licensed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. A nonrestricted gaming license permits the holder to operate sixteen or more slot machines, or any number of slot machines with at least one table game. The gaming license will require the periodic payment of fees and will not be transferable. No person will be able to become a member of, or receive any percentage of the profits of, the Company without first obtaining Gaming Approvals. In connection with the registration and licensing of Gaming Holdings as a holding company and a member, each direct and indirect owner of Gaming Holdings, including, but not limited to, Gaming Enterprises, London Clubs, LCNI, London Clubs Holdings, Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of London Clubs and the holding company for LCNI), AHL, the Sommer Trust, Sommer Enterprises, GAI and their respective owners (collectively, "Aladdin Owners") will be required to obtain from the Nevada Gaming Authorities the applicable Gaming Approvals. Capital will also be subject to being called forward for a finding of suitability as a co-issuer of the Notes in the discretion of the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Gaming Holdings is a "publicly traded corporation" as that term is defined in the Nevada Act. If the Company issues an initial public offering of equity it will also become a "publicly traded corporation" ("IPO Entity") as that term is defined in the Nevada Act. In order for a company that is a publicly traded corporation to receive a gaming license, the Nevada Commission must exempt the company from a regulatory provision in the Nevada Act which makes publicly traded corporations ineligible to apply for or hold a gaming license. However, the Nevada Commission has exempted companies from this provision in the past and has granted gaming licenses to publicly traded corporations. If the Company becomes an IPO Entity, the Company intends to apply for an exemption from this eligibility requirement ("Exemption") in connection with its application for a gaming license. In connection with licensing and receipt of the Exemption, Gaming Holdings, London Clubs, Enterprises and the Company will each also be required to be registered by the Nevada Commission as a publicly traded corporation ("Registered Company"). The following regulatory requirements will be applicable to the Company, Gaming Holdings and the Aladdin Owners upon their receipt of all necessary Gaming Approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Company, Gaming Holdings and the Aladdin Owners have not yet obtained from the Nevada Gaming Authorities the Gaming Approvals required in order for the Company to conduct gaming operations at the Aladdin and there can be no assurances given that such Gaming Approvals will be obtained, or that they will be obtained on a timely basis. There can also be no assurances that the Company's officers, managers and key employees will obtain Gaming Approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities. As a Registered Company and an entity licensed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities ("Company Licensee"), the Company will be required to periodically submit detailed financial information and operating reports to the Nevada Commission and furnish any other information that the Nevada Commission may require. No person may become a member of, or receive any percentage of profits from, a Company Licensee without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may investigate any individual who has a material relationship to, or material involvement with, the Company, Gaming Holdings and the Aladdin Owners to determine whether such individual is suitable or should be licensed as a business associate of a Company Licensee. Officers, managers and certain key employees of the Company and Gaming Holdings must file applications with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and will be required to be licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with the Company's application. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may deny an application for licensing or a finding of suitability for any cause they deem reasonable. A finding of 10 suitability is comparable to licensing, and both require submission of detailed personal and financial information followed by a thorough investigation. The entity with whom the applicant is employed or for whom the applicant serves, must pay all the costs of the investigation. Changes in licensed positions must be reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities, and in addition to their authority to deny an application for a finding of suitability or licensure, the Nevada Gaming Authorities have jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a Company position. If the Nevada Gaming Authorities were to find an officer, manager or key employee of the Company or Gaming Holdings unsuitable for licensing or to continue having a relationship with the Company or Gaming Holdings, the Company or Gaming Holdings, as the case may be, would have to sever all relationships with such person. In addition, the Nevada Commission may require the Company or Gaming Holdings, as the case may be, to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate applications. Determinations of suitability or of questions pertaining to licensing are not subject to judicial review in Nevada. The Company will be required to submit detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Commission. Substantially all material loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing transactions by the Company will be required to be reported to or approved by the Nevada Commission. If the Company is licensed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, any (i) guarantees of the Notes issued by the Company or its members; (ii) hypothecation of assets of the Company as security for the Notes; and/or (iii) pledges of the equity securities of the Company as security for the Notes will require the approval of the Nevada Commission in order to remain effective. An approval by the Nevada Commission of a pledge of equity securities does not constitute approval to foreclose on such pledge. Separate approval is required to foreclose on a pledge of equity securities of a Company Licensee and such approval requires the licensing of the indenture trustee unless such requirement is waived upon the application of the indenture trustee. Additionally, any (i) restrictions on the transfer of, and (ii) agreements not to encumber the equity securities of the Company in respect of the Notes, may require the approval of the Nevada Commission in order to remain effective. If it were determined that the Nevada Act was violated by the Company or Gaming Holdings, the Gaming Approvals they hold could be limited, conditioned, suspended or revoked, subject to compliance with certain statutory and regulatory procedures. In addition, the Company, Gaming Holdings and the persons involved could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of the Nevada Act at the discretion of the Nevada Commission. Further, a supervisor could be appointed by the Nevada Commission to operate the Aladdin and, under certain circumstances, earnings generated during the supervisor's appointment (except for the reasonable rental value of the Aladdin) could be forfeited to the state of Nevada. Limitation, conditioning or suspension of any Gaming Approval or license or the appointment of a supervisor could (and revocation of any Gaming Approval would) materially adversely affect the gaming operations of the Aladdin and the financial position and results of operations of the Company and the Issuers. Any beneficial holder of a Registered Company's voting or non-voting securities (including warrants exercisable into such securities) regardless of the number of shares owned, may be required to file an application, be investigated, and have its suitability as a beneficial holder of the Registered Company's securities determined if the Nevada Commission has reason to believe that such ownership would otherwise be inconsistent with the declared policies of the state of Nevada. The applicant must pay all costs of investigation incurred by the Nevada Gaming Authorities in conducting any such investigation. The Nevada Act requires any person who acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of a Registered Company's voting securities (including warrants exercisable into voting securities) to report the acquisition to the Nevada Commission. The Nevada Act requires that beneficial owners of more than 10% of a Registered Company's voting securities apply to the Nevada Commission for a finding of suitability within thirty days after the Chairman of the Nevada Board mails the written notice requiring such filing. 11 Under certain circumstances, an "institutional investor," as defined in the Nevada Act, which acquires more than 10%, but not more than 15%, of the Registered Company's voting securities (including warrants exercisable into voting securities) may apply to the Nevada Commission for a waiver of such finding of suitability if such institutional investor holds the voting securities for investment purposes only. An institutional investor shall not be deemed to hold voting securities for investment purposes unless the voting securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business as an institutional investor and not for the purpose of causing, directly or indirectly, the election of a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Registered Company, and change in the Registered Company's corporate charter, bylaws, management, policies or operations of the Registered Company, or any of its gaming affiliates, or any other action which the Nevada Commission finds to be inconsistent with holding the Company's voting securities for investment purposes only. Activities which are not deemed to be inconsistent with holding voting securities for investment purposes only include: (i) voting on all matters voted on by stockholders or interest holders; (ii) making financial and other inquiries of management of the type normally made by securities analysts for information purposes and not to cause a change in its management, policies or operations; and (iii) such other activities as the Nevada Commission may determine to be consistent with such investment intent. If the beneficial holder of voting securities who must be found suitable is a corporation, partnership or trust, it must submit detailed business and financial information, including a list of beneficial owners. The applicant is required to pay all costs of investigation. Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability of a license within thirty days after being ordered to do so by the Nevada Commission or the Chairman of the Nevada Board, may be found unsuitable. The same restrictions apply to a record owner if the record owner, after request, fails to identify the beneficial owner. Any stockholder or beneficial owner found unsuitable and who holds, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of the common stock or other equity securities of a Registered Company beyond such period of time as may be prescribed by the Nevada Commission may be guilty of a criminal offense. The Registered Company is subject to disciplinary action if, after it receives notice that a person is unsuitable to be a stockholder or to have any other relationship with the Company, the Registered Company: (i) pays that person any dividend, distribution or interest upon voting securities of the Registered Company; (ii) allows that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through securities held by that person; (iii) pays remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise; or (iv) fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require such unsuitable person to relinquish his voting securities including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of said voting securities for cash at fair market value. The Nevada Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any debt security of a Registered Company (such as the Notes) to file an application, be investigated and be found suitable to own the debt security of a Registered Company. If the Nevada Commission determines that a person is unsuitable to own such security, then pursuant to the Nevada Act, the Registered Company can be sanctioned, including the loss of approvals, if without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission, it: (i) pays to the unsuitable person any dividend, interest, or any distribution whatsoever; (ii) recognizes any voting right by such unsuitable person in connection with such securities; (iii) pays the unsuitable person remuneration in any form; or (iv) makes any payment to the unsuitable person by way of principal, redemption, conversion, exchange, liquidation, or similar transaction. The Company will be required to maintain a current members' ledger in Nevada that may be examined by the Nevada Gaming Authorities at any time. The Nevada Commission has the power to require that their respective members' certificates bear a legend indicating that such securities are subject to the Nevada Act. It is unknown at this time whether the Nevada Commission will impose this requirement on the Company. After becoming a Registered Company, London Clubs, Gaming Enterprises, the Company and Gaming Holdings may not make a public offering of any securities (including, but not limited to, the Common Stock of Enterprises upon the exercise of the Warrants) without the prior approval of the Nevada 12 Commission if the securities or the proceeds therefrom are intended to be used to construct, acquire or finance gaming facilities in Nevada, or to retire or extend obligations incurred for such purposes. Such approval, if given, does not constitute a finding, recommendation or approval by the Nevada Commission or the Nevada Board as to the accuracy or adequacy of the prospectus or the investment merits of the securities. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful. The regulations of the Nevada Board and the Nevada Commission also provide that any entity which is not an "affiliated company," as such term is defined in the Nevada Act, or which is not otherwise subject to the provisions of the Nevada Act or such regulations, such as the Company and Gaming Holdings, which plans to make a public offering of securities intending to use such securities, or the proceeds from the sale thereof for the construction or operation of gaming facilities in Nevada, or to retire or extend obligations incurred for such purposes, may apply to the Nevada Commission for prior approval of such offering ("Qualified Public Offering"). The Nevada Commission may find an applicant unsuitable based solely on the fact that it did not submit such an application, unless upon a written request for a ruling, the Nevada Board Chairman has ruled that it is not necessary to submit an application. The exchange offer for the Notes qualified as a public offering. Holdings filed a written request ("Ruling Request") with the Nevada Board Chairman for a ruling that it is not necessary to submit the Exchange Offer for prior approval. On August 21, 1998, the Nevada Board Chairman ruled it was not necessary to submit the exchange offer for the Notes for the Nevada Commission's prior approval. If Gaming Holdings or the Company become an IPO Entity prior to receiving its Gaming Approvals, they intend to file a second Ruling Request with the Nevada Board Chairman for a ruling that it is not necessary to submit the Qualified Public Offering for the Nevada Commission's prior approval. No assurance can be given that such a Ruling Request will be granted or that it will be considered on a timely basis. If the Nevada Board Chairman rules that approval of the Qualified Public Offering is required, the Company or Gaming Holdings, as applicable, will file an application for such approval. If the Ruling Request is not granted, the Qualified Public Offering could be significantly delayed while the Company or Holdings seeks approval of the Nevada Board and the Nevada Commission for the Qualified Public Offering. No assurance can be given that approval of the Qualified Public Offering, if required, will be granted. Changes in control of a Registered Company through merger, consolidation, stock or asset acquisitions, management or consulting agreements, or any act or conduct whereby a person obtains control, may not occur without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission. Entities seeking to acquire control of a Registered Company must satisfy the Nevada Board and Nevada Commission in a variety of stringent standards prior to assuming control of such Registered Company. The Nevada Commission may also require controlling stockholders, officers, directors and other persons having a material relationship or involvement with the entity proposing to acquire control, to be investigated and licensed as part of the approval process relating to the transaction. The Nevada Legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions opposed by management, repurchases of voting securities and corporate defense tactics affecting Nevada gaming licensees, and Registered Companies that are affiliated with those operations, may be injurious to stable and productive corporate gaming. The Nevada Commission has established a regulatory scheme to ameliorate the potentially adverse effects of these business practices upon Nevada's gaming industry and to further Nevada's policy to: (i) assure the financial stability of corporate gaming operators and their affiliates; (ii) preserve the beneficial aspects of conducting business in the corporate form; and (iii) promote a neutral environment for the orderly governance of corporate affairs. Approvals are, in certain circumstances, required from the Nevada Commission before the Registered Company can make exceptional repurchases of voting securities above the current market price thereof and before a corporate acquisition opposed by management can be consummated. The Nevada Act also requires prior approval of a plan of recapitalization proposed by the Registered Company's Board of Directors in response to a tender offer made directly to the Registered Company's stockholders or interest holders for the purposes of acquiring the Registered Company. 13 License fees and taxes, computed in various ways depending on the type of gaming or activity involved, are payable to the state of Nevada and to Clark County, Nevada. Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees and taxes are payable either monthly, quarterly or annually and are based upon either: (i) a percentage of the gross revenues received; (ii) the number of gaming devices operated; or (iii) the number of table games operated. A casino entertainment tax will also be paid by the Company where certain entertainment is provided in a cabaret, nightclub, cocktail lounge or casino showroom in connection with admissions and the serving or selling of food, refreshments or merchandise. Any person who is licensed, required to be licensed, registered, required to be registered, or is under common control with such persons (collectively, "Licensees"), and who proposes to become involved in a gaming venture outside of Nevada, is required to deposit with the Nevada Board and thereafter maintain, a revolving fund in the amount of $10,000 to pay the expenses of investigation by the Nevada Board of their participation in such foreign gaming. The revolving fund is subject to increase or decrease at the discretion of the Nevada Commission. Thereafter, Licensees are also required to comply with certain reporting requirements imposed by the Nevada Act. Licensees are also subject to disciplinary action by the Nevada Commission if they knowingly violate any laws of the foreign jurisdiction pertaining to the foreign gaming operation, fail to conduct the foreign gaming operation in accordance with the standards of honesty and integrity required of Nevada gaming operations, engage in activities or enter into associations that are harmful to the state of Nevada or its ability to collect gaming taxes and fees, or employ, contract with or associate with a person in the foreign operation who has been denied a license or a finding of suitability in Nevada on the ground of personal unsuitability. The sale of alcoholic beverages by the Company on the premises of the Aladdin is also subject to licensing, control and regulation by the CCLGLB. All licenses are revocable and are not transferable. The CCLGLB has full power to limit, condition, suspend or revoke any such license, and any such disciplinary action could (and revocation would) have a material effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company and the Issuers. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. Gaming Enterprises does not own or lease any property. The Company owns approximately 35 acres of land on the Strip on the site of the original Aladdin hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Such property includes the site on which the Aladdin, Mall Project and the Plant are being constructed and the site on which the Company intends to build the Aladdin Music Project. The Company is obligated to transfer approximately 12.4 acres of land to Aladdin Bazaar at a future date and may contribute approximately 4.8 acres of land to Aladdin Music as part of the development of the Aladdin Music Project. The Company currently leases three facilities of approximately 63,000 square feet for its corporate offices, employee recruiting and warehouse requirements. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Gaming Enterprises is not currently party to any material pending litigation. Other than the Arbitration discussed in "Item 1. Business--Construction Budget and Schedule," the Company is not a party to any material pending litigation. Mr. Jack Sommer, the Chairman of the Gaming Holdings Board and the Gaming Board and a trustee of the Sommer Trust, and the other trustees of the Sommer Trust, are co-defendants in a legal action relating to the then existing Aladdin hotel and casino. The suit was commenced by members of the Aronow family ("Aronow Plaintiffs") in May 1995 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. In their complaint, the Aronow Plaintiffs alleged that Mr. Sommer and the Aronow Plaintiffs were parties to a joint venture to acquire and develop the Aladdin hotel and casino and that Mr. Sommer breached such alleged agreement when the Sommer Trust acquired an interest in the Aladdin hotel and casino in December, 1994. The Aronow Plaintiffs are seeking (among other remedies) to impress a 14 constructive trust upon the Sommer Trust's interest in the Aladdin hotel and casino, an accounting, compensatory damages of not less than $200 million and punitive damages of not less than $500 million. On January 27, 2000, each of the Aronow Plaintiffs' claims against the trustees was dismissed. If this decision stands, there can be no liability as a result of the Aronow Plaintiffs' lawsuit. It is not known at this time whether the Aronow Plaintiffs will decide to attempt to reargue or decide to appeal, or whether any reargument or appeal would be successful. As such, there is no way to evaluate the likelihood of success of any appeal. An adverse decision could have a material and adverse effect on the Company. A lawsuit which was filed by Edward Kanbar, Romano Tio and Adina Winston against Mr. Sommer and the other trustees of the Sommer Trust has been successfully resolved in favor of Mr. Sommer and the other trustees and all appeals have been exhausted. No liability will result from this lawsuit. In 1988, the Sommer Trust and two related entities commenced an action in the Southern District of New York against certain entities owned and controlled by Bronfman family interests ("Bronfman Defendants") alleging, among other things, that the Bronfman Defendants committed violations of Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as multiple breaches of fiduciary duties as general partner of a partnership in which the Sommer Trust owns limited partnership interests. Relief requested includes an accounting, imposition of a constructive trust and damages in excess of $100 million. The Bronfman Defendants have asserted counterclaims against plaintiffs and certain Sommer family members individually alleging causes of action for breach of contract, fraud and various related torts. The Bronfman Defendants claim damages in excess of $100 million. The trustees of the Sommer Trust have informed the Company that they are vigorously defending the counterclaim. However, in the event the Bronfman Defendants are successful, the Sommer Trust might be required to pay substantial damages. An adverse decision could have a material and adverse effect on the Sommer Trust. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. Not applicable. 15 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Neither the capital stock of Gaming Enterprises nor the membership interests of Aladdin Gaming Holdings, LLC has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 nor under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There is no established trading market for either the capital stock of Gaming Enterprises or the common membership interests of Aladdin Gaming Holdings, LLC. Gaming Enterprises is not aware of any bid quotations for the capital stock of Gaming Enterprises or the common membership interests of Aladdin Gaming Holdings, LLC. See Item 12 regarding the numbers of shareholders for Gaming Enterprises. Since inception Gaming Enterprises has not paid any dividends on its equity and due to the Company's current long-term debt arrangements restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the payment of dividends on the Company's equity. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Exhibit 10.12 to this Form 10-K for additional information on the covenants, conditions and restrictions on the Company under the Bank Credit Facility. 16 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. The historical selected financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with "Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and the balance sheet data at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are derived from, and are elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected in the future.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the various other reports which have been previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which may be inspected, without charge, at the Public Reference Section of the SEC located at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 or at the SEC internet site address: http://www.sec.gov. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Gaming Enterprises is an indirect subsidiary of AHL and was incorporated in December, 1997, for the sole purpose of issuing warrants and warrant shares as part of the Notes offering. The sole material asset of Gaming Enterprises is 25% of the Holdings Common Membership Interests which represents an indirect interest to the warrant holders of 10% of the outstanding Holdings Common Membership Interests on a fully diluted basis. Gaming Enterprises has no business or activities other than its investment in Gaming Holdings, which is a development stage company. Gaming Holdings is a holding company, the material assets of which are 100% of the outstanding Common Membership Interests and 100% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Interests in Gaming. The operations of Gaming Holdings and its subsidiaries ("Company") have been limited to obtaining financing for, securing the land for, arranging for the construction of, finalizing the design of, constructing and developing, and applying for the appropriate gaming licenses for the Aladdin. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Enterprises has no business or activities or material assets other than its investment in Gaming Holdings, which is a development stage company and has no significant operations to date. The Company is in the development stage and has no significant operations to date. The Company has capitalized all qualifying construction costs. Accordingly, the Company does not have any historical operating income. The capitalized costs consist primarily of land contributed by certain members of Gaming Holdings, design fees, financing and commitment fees, construction costs and interest on qualifying assets. Capitalized costs include approximately $2.2 million related to Aladdin Music for necessary predevelopment costs and expenses of the Aladdin Music Project. The Company's operating expenses primarily have consisted of interest, amortization costs and expenses related to the Notes and pre-opening costs. The Company anticipates that its results of operations from inception to the opening of the Aladdin will be adversely affected by the expensing of pre-opening costs and interest not qualifying for capitalization and should not be indicative of future operations. Accordingly, historical results will not be indicative of future operating results. Future operating results of the Company are subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control. While the Company believes that the Aladdin will be able to attract a sufficient number of patrons and achieve the level of activity necessary to permit the Company to meet its debt payment obligations, including the Notes and other indebtedness, and its other obligations, there can be no assurance with respect thereto. Because Gaming Enterprises' only material asset is its 25% interest in Gaming Holdings, Gaming Enterprises records 25% of Gaming Holdings' losses and preferred dividend in arrears as equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate. Gaming Enterprises recorded a net loss of approximately $8.5 million and $10.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gaming Enterprises cumulative loss for the period of inception (December 3, 1997) to December 31, 1999 was approximately $19.1 million. Gaming Holdings' 18 losses were due to the pre-opening costs, interest expense, amortization costs and expenses related to the Note. MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION Through December 31, 1999, approximately $424.2 million had been expended primarily on the development of the Aladdin, of which approximately $74.5 million had been expended on repayment of debt associated with the land contribution to the Company, approximately $292.6 million in construction, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and capitalized interest, approximately $39.5 million in debt issuance and member equity costs, and approximately $17.6 million in pre-opening costs, net interest expense, and other current assets. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On February 26, 1998, Gaming Holdings and Capital issued $221.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The proceeds to the Company from the Notes were approximately $115.0 million and all the proceeds have been utilized by the Company for the development and construction of the Aladdin. For further details on the Notes, including the covenants, restrictions and limitations on the Company pursuant to the Notes Indenture, see Exhibit 10.1 to the Gaming Enterprises' Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Gaming has a credit facility ("Bank Credit Facility" or "Credit Agreement") with various financial institutions and The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent for the lenders (collectively, "Lenders"). The Credit Agreement consists of three separate term loans. Term A Loan comprises a term loan of $129.7 million and matures five and one-half years after the initial borrowing date. Term B Loan comprises a term loan of $114 million and matures eight and one-half years after the initial borrowing date. Term C Loan comprises a term loan of $160 million and matures ten years after the initial borrowing date. As of December 31, 1999, approximately $7.3 million of the Term B Loan proceeds, plus accrued interest, and approximately $53.3 million of the Term C Loan proceeds, plus accrued interest, is available. As of December 31, 1999, Gaming has approximately $20 million of interest income that has been earned on the Term B and Term C Loan proceeds that is also available. The disbursement of the proceeds of the Term A Loan has not commenced as of the date hereof. Under the Credit Agreement, Gaming had $21.3 million available for its investment in Aladdin Music. However, during the Third Quarter of 1999, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Gaming could, and did, allocate $15.0 million of such funds to the Theater renovation and reduced the Term A Loan by the remaining $6.3 million. For further details on the Bank Credit Facility, including the covenants, restrictions and limitations on Gaming pursuant to the Bank Credit Facility, see Exhibit 10.12 to Gaming Enterprises Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Gaming has operating lease financing of up to $60 million and a term loan facility of $20 million to obtain gaming equipment and other specified equipment (collectively, "FF&E Financing"). On March 6, 2000, disbursements under the FF&E Financing commenced. For further details on the operating lease financing and term loan facility, including the covenants, restrictions and limitations on Gaming pursuant to the FF&E Financing, see Exhibit 10.40 to Gaming Enterprises' Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Upon the later of (a) the transfer of the real property under the Mall Project by Gaming to Aladdin Bazaar, or (b) the commencement of Aladdin's operations, Aladdin Bazaar will execute a promissory note of approximately $16.7 million to Gaming. Principal and interest on the note is payable by Aladdin Bazaar to Gaming in the amount of $2 million per year. The required payments are subordinated to various restrictions under the Aladdin Bazaar operating agreement. Due to the restrictions upon the payments, there can be no assurances that Gaming will receive any payments under this note. London Clubs, the Sommer Trust, and Aladdin Bazaar Holdings, LLC ("Bazaar Holdings"), which is owned 99% by the Sommer Trust (collectively, "Bank Completion Guarantors"), have entered into a 19 completion guaranty ("Bank Completion Guaranty") for the benefit of the Lenders under the Bank Credit Facility, under which they have agreed to guarantee, among other things, the completion of the Aladdin. The Bank Completion Guaranty is not subject to any maximum dollar limitations. From January 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999, a total of approximately $67.2 million in payments has been made pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty, which has been funded approximately $62.8 million by London Clubs and approximately $4.4 million by the Sommer Trust. Pursuant to a contribution agreement ("Contribution Agreement"), dated as of February 26, 1998, the Sommer Trust and London Clubs agreed to share all obligations under the Bank Completion Guaranty, 75% and 25%, respectively, and to the extent that one of the parties could not fund its proportionate amount under the Contribution Agreement, the other party could fund the non-contributing party's proportionate amount. However, effective as of October 1, 1999, London Clubs and the Sommer Trust amended the "Contribution Percentage" provided in the Contribution Agreement to be 60% in the case of the Sommer Trust and 40% in the case of London Clubs. The holders of the Notes are not a party to the Bank Completion Guaranty; however, London Clubs, the Sommer Trust and Bazaar Holdings have entered into a limited completion guaranty for the benefit of the Noteholders ("Noteholder Completion Guaranty") under which they guarantee completion of the Aladdin, subject to certain important exceptions, limitations and qualifications. The Noteholder Completion Guaranty contains certain intercreditor provisions that significantly limit the rights of the Trustee under the Noteholder Completion Guaranty. During 1999, the Company increased the Main Project Budget by approximately $79.6 million, of which $12.4 million was funded in the first quarter of 2000. This amount reflected an increase in construction costs of approximately $53.2 million, an increase in pre-opening costs of approximately $21.9 million and an increase in capitalized interest of $4.5 million. Pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty, during 1999, a total of $67.2 million was paid, approximately $62.8 million by London Clubs and approximately $4.4 million by the Sommer Trust. The Aladdin project budget ("Budget") was $826 million when Gaming and Gaming Holdings entered into arrangements to finance construction of the Aladdin in February 1998. Since that time and to March 1, 2000, the Budget was increased by an aggregate of $87.8 million to $913 million, which amounts were funded pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty by London Clubs and the Sommer Trust. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between London Clubs and the Sommer Trust, dated February 26, 1998 ("Contribution Agreement"), Sommer Trust and London Clubs agreed that any amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty would be funded 75% by the Sommer Trust and 25% by London Clubs. Effective as of October 1, 1999, these contribution percentages were amended to be 60% in the case of the Sommer Trust and 40% in the case of London Clubs. Notwithstanding the Contribution Agreement, the $87.8 million Budget increase was funded approximately $83.5 million by London Clubs and approximately $4.3 million by the Sommer Trust. During March 2000, the Company completed a review of the estimated total costs to complete and open the Aladdin and, as a result of that review, increased the Budget by $60.4 million. The Company advised the Sommer Trust and London Clubs of the need to fund such increase pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty. The Sommer Trust advised the Company and London Clubs that it is not at this time making any capital contribution in order to fund any portion of this Budget increase of $60.4 million. In light of the joint and several obligation of the Bank Completion Guaranty, London Clubs has advised the Company that it would fund all of this Budget increase by (a) providing a cash equity contribution to the Company of approximately $13.1 million, which the Company received on March 30, 2000, and (b) establishing a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $47.3 million to be used to fund the Budget increase. The Company believes that the Budget as set out above is reasonable and can be achieved. The Company believes that the Budget as set out above is reasonable and can be achieved. In connection with the development of the Mall Project, Aladdin Bazaar will reimburse the Company approximately $14.2 million for the construction of certain areas shared by the Aladdin and the Mall Project and the facade to the Aladdin. Additionally, Aladdin Bazaar is obligated to spend no more than 20 $36 million for the Carpark. Therefore, any cost overruns associated with these items will be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay to Aladdin Bazaar: (i) a $3.2 million fee per year for a term of 99 years, which is adjusted every fifth year pursuant to a consumer price index-based formula, for usage of the Carpark; and (ii) the Company's proportionate share of the operating costs associated with the Carpark and other common areas. The Company believes that the funds provided by the Notes, Bank Credit Facility, FF&E Financing, London Clubs' equity contribution and contributions pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty (collectively, "Funding Transactions") will be sufficient to develop, complete and commence operation of the Aladdin; however, there can be no assurance that the Funding Transactions will be sufficient for the development, construction and commencement of operation of the Aladdin. Following the commencement of operations of the Aladdin, the Company expects to fund its operating, debt service and capital needs, as currently contemplated, with $15 million of working capital from the Funding Transactions and operating cash flows. In addition, upon the opening of the Aladdin, the Company is expected to have an aggregate of $10.0 million available under a working capital facility; however, there can be no assurance such facility will be available to the Company, or that, if available, the facility will be on terms favorable to the Company. Although no additional financing is contemplated, the Company will seek, if necessary and to the extent permitted under the Notes Indenture and the terms of the Bank Credit Facility and the FF&E Financing, additional financing through additional bank borrowings or debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if needed, will be available to the Company, or that, if available, the financing will be on terms favorable to the Company. There can also be no assurance that estimates by the Company of its reasonably anticipated liquidity needs are accurate or that new business developments or other unforeseen events will not occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. GAMING HOLDINGS CAPITAL RESTRUCTURE On December 10, 1999, the holders of Holdings Common Membership Interests entered into an agreement ("Agreement") to restate the capital structure of Gaming Holdings. The Sommer Trust and London Clubs are collectively referred to below as the "Guarantors." Prior to the execution of the Agreement, if either the Sommer Trust or London Clubs (each a "Guarantor") was unable to make a capital contribution to Gaming Holdings as required under the Bank Completion Guaranty and the Gaming Holdings Operating Agreement, the contributing Guarantor could lend funds to the other Guarantor to satisfy its obligations under the guaranty. Gaming Holdings issued Series A Preferred Shares in exchange for all completion guaranty payments made prior to the execution of the Agreement. The Guarantors determined that this mechanism for contributing such amounts to Gaming Holdings was not adequate. Accordingly, they adopted the Agreement to rescind the loans between them and restate all Completion Guaranty Payments as contributions from the Guarantor providing the capital directly to Gaming Holdings. 21 Pursuant to the Agreement, the Series A Preferred Shares previously issued in exchange for payments made pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty ("Completion Guaranty Payments") were rescinded and Gaming Holdings issued (i) Series A Preferred Shares to London Clubs for $11,817,539 of Completion Guaranty Payments plus $2,534,519 of unpaid preferred return accrued on such payments prior to October 1, 1999, (ii) Series C Convertible Preferred Shares to London Clubs for $30,000,000 of Completion Guaranty Payments made prior to October 1, 1999, (iii) Series CC Convertible Preferred Shares to London Clubs for the unpaid cumulative preferred return on the Series C Convertible Preferred Shares that accrued between October 1, 1999 and the date of conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, (iv) Series D Preferred Shares to London Clubs representing a profits only interest in Gaming Holdings, and (v) Series E Preferred Shares to the Sommer Trust for $4,333,034 of Completion Guaranty Payments made prior to October 1, 1999. The Agreement further provides that Gaming Holdings shall issue, for all future completion guaranty payments made by the Guarantors (i) Series A Preferred Shares in exchange for the contribution of such payments and (ii) Series D Preferred Shares representing a profits only interest in Gaming Holdings. The Series C Convertible Preferred Shares shall earn a return equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum, cumulative and compounded semi-annually from October 1, 1999. London Clubs has the option to convert all (but not less than all) of the Series C Convertible Preferred Shares into fifteen percent (15%) of the Holdings Common Membership Interests at any time on or before April 30, 2000. If the Series C Convertible Preferred Shares are converted, LCNI's ownership interest would increase to forty percent (40%) of the Holdings Common Membership Interests and Sommer Enterprises' ownership interest would decrease to thirty-two percent (32%) of the Holdings Common Membership Interests, so that, when combined with Sommer Enterprises interest in Gaming Enterprises, Sommer Enterprises would have a total ownership interest of fifty seven percent (57%). The Series CC Preferred Shares shall earn a return equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum, cumulative and compounded semi-annually. Pursuant to a subsequent Letter Agreement between the Guarantors dated February 23, 2000, the Series D Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred Shares shall earn a combined preferred return equal to the return earned on the Series E Preferred Shares (i.e., thirty percent (30%) per annum, cumulative and compounded semi-annually). The Series E Preferred Shares shall earn a return equal to thirty percent (30%) per annum, cumulative and compounded semi-annually. With respect to the allocation of Profits and Losses, and Distributions including distributions in liquidation, the following is the order of priority of the Preferred Shares: Series A Preferred Shares, Series D Preferred Shares, Series C Convertible, and Series CC Preferred Shares, and collectively (PARI PASSU) Series E and B Preferred Shares. As a function of the Agreement, the Guarantors further amended, effective as of October 1, 1999, the Contribution Agreement so that the "Contribution Percentage" shall mean, for the purposes of Completion Guaranty Payments, (a) sixty percent (60%) in the case of the Sommer Trust and (b) forty percent (40%) in the case of London Clubs. As part of the Agreement, Gaming Holdings, the Sommer Trust, London Clubs and LCNI entered into a Redemption Agreement with regard to their respective right to redeem or purchase, as the case may be, the Series A and D Preferred Shares (as a unit consisting of one Series A Preferred Share and one Series D Preferred Share ("Redeemable Preferred Share")) as follows: Gaming Holdings shall have the right, subject to and in conformity with the provisions of the Indenture to redeem any amount of Redeemable Preferred Shares at an amount equal to the fully accreted value of such shares at the time of redemption, together with a "make whole" agreement whereby the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Shares being redeemed shall be made whole by Gaming Holdings with respect to the holder's costs and expenses incurred in financing the Redeemable Preferred Shares and making them available for redemption by Gaming Holdings. If the Sommer Trust, Sommer Enterprises or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sommer Trust or Sommer Enterprises to be designated by the Sommer Trust is in a position to offer payment to London 22 Clubs or LCNI at the fully accreted value on the date of offer to buy Redeemable Preferred Shares of Gaming Holdings held by London Clubs and LCNI, the Sommer Trust, Sommer Enterprises or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sommer Trust or Sommer Enterprises to be designated by the Sommer Trust shall have the right from time to time but not the obligation to purchase from London Clubs and LCNI an amount of such shares so that the total Redeemable Preferred Shares held by the Sommer Trust, Sommer Enterprises or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sommer Trust or Sommer Enterprises to be designated by the Sommer Trust and all its Affiliates (including such Redeemable Preferred shares they may have held) would be up to 60% of all outstanding Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price equal to their then fully accreted value. Purchase by the Sommer Trust of any Redeemable Preferred Shares held by London Clubs or LCNI shall include a "make whole" payment by the Sommer Trust to London Clubs or LCNI consisting of (i) the Sommer Trust's applicable proportionate share of all fees, transaction costs, call premiums and other expenses borne by London Clubs or LCNI in connection with the financing of the acquisition of the Redeemable Preferred Shares (but solely with respect to the proportionate share of the proceeds from such financing which is directly invested in the Aladdin) and their purchase by the Sommer Trust including interest at the rate of prime plus two percent (2%) per annum from the time expenses were incurred by London Clubs to the time of the make whole payment; and (ii) 100% of any increased tax consequences to London Clubs or LCNI resulting from the purchase of the Redeemable Preferred Shares by the Sommer Trust as opposed to redemption by Gaming Holdings. Upon purchase by the Sommer Trust, and at its option to be exercised at the time of purchase, the Redeemable Preferred Shares purchased from London Clubs or LCNI may either (i) (a) be subordinated to those Redeemable Preferred Shares still held by London Clubs or LCNI, but rank ahead of all other Preferred Shares, and (b) earn a reduced unit return to be no greater than twenty percent (20%) or less than fifteen percent (15%) per annum, cumulative and compounded semi-annually to be determined no later than the time the parties enter into formal amendments to the Operating and Contribution Agreements; or (ii) (a) be PARI PASSU with the Redeemable Preferred Shares still held by London Clubs or LCNI and (b) earn a reduced unit return equal to the yield to worst on the Notes at the time of purchase by the Sommer Trust plus 100 basis points, such return to be per annum, cumulative and compounded semi-annually. In the event that the Sommer Trust is in the position to offer payment as set forth herein, and makes a good faith offer to purchase up to 60% of the Redeemable Preferred Shares but London Clubs or LCNI, as the case may be, is unable to sell such shares for any reason, London Clubs will negotiate in good faith with the Sommer Trust a "make whole" agreement whereby the Sommer Trust shall be compensated no more than its actual losses, taking account of the full costs including financing costs and "make whole" payments it would have incurred in acquiring and holding such shares, and in any event no more than the return it would have received by owning the Redeemable Preferred Shares if offered to purchase from London Clubs or LCNI and exercising the option set forth herein, less the return the Sommer Trust would receive if it acquired an equivalent amount of United States Treasury securities at the then prevailing rate. In the event that the terms of the financing arrangements obtained by London Clubs with respect to financing future Completion Guaranty Payments requires a transfer of Holdings Common Membership Interest to London Club's lenders in the form of non-voting warrants, or otherwise, the Trust and London Clubs have agreed that both LCNI and Sommer Enterprises shall be diluted in such proportions and in such amounts as shall be agreed upon by the parties when the terms of such financing arrangements have been finalized. The holders of Holdings Common Membership Interests also amended the Gaming Holdings Operating Agreement, (a) in regards to the definition of "Permitted Transferee" and "Prohibited Transferee;" (b) to provide that the Board of Managers of Gaming Holdings shall be expanded to seven Board Members and appointed as follows: (i) Aladdin Enterprises shall appoint three Board Members and (ii) LCNI shall appoint four Board Members, and as of March 15, 2000, the Board Members are Jack Sommer, Ronald B. Dictrow and Richard J. Goeglein as Aladdin Enterprises appointees and Alan L. Goodenough, G. Barry C. Hardy, William Timmins and one other appointee who shall be an officer, director or employee of LCI still to be named by LCNI; (c) to provide that the failure of either the 23 Sommer Trust or London Clubs to pay its pro rata shares of Completion Guaranty Payments (i) shall not result in the removal by LCNI if London Clubs has failed to pay its pro rata share, or Aladdin Enterprises, if the Sommer Trust has failed to pay its pro rata share, of one of their respective designated Board Members and (ii) shall not result in the replacement of Jack Sommer as Chairman of the Board; (d) eliminating the requirement of the vote or consent in writing of a Supermajority to declare setting aside or payment of any Distribution with respect to Series A Preferred Shares; and (e) including Music within the definition of Subsidiary of Gaming Holdings. Section 6.7(b), (c) and (d) of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement dated as of February 26, 1998 between LCNI, London Clubs, Gaming Holdings, Gaming, Aladdin Holdings, LLC, Sommer Enterprises and the Sommer Trust, which relates to certain participation and approval rights of LCNI with respect to the Aladdin Music Project is deleted. The Board of Managers for Aladdin Music Holdings, LLC and Aladdin Music, LLC shall each have six Board Members appointed as follows: (a) the Sommer Trust shall appoint three Board Members; and (b) London Clubs shall appoint three Board Members. Notwithstanding any other provision in the parties' agreement as detailed above, if the parties are unable for any reason to effect a transfer of fifteen percent (15%) of the Holdings Common Membership Interests to LCNI upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, no part of the Agreement shall be effective. As of February 23, 2000, the holders of Holdings Common Membership Interests entered into an agreement whereby, if certain payments are made with respect to certain letters of credit issued in connection with Gaming's acquisition of furniture, fixtures and equipment, such payments shall be treated in a manner similar to Completion Guaranty Payments as set forth above. MARKET RISK Effective June 30, 1999, Gaming restructured its interest rate swap arrangements in an effort to reduce future expenditures for interest. Gaming has entered into these agreements to manage interest expense, which is subject to fluctuations due to the variable nature of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). In exchange for entering into the transaction, Gaming received $500,000 from the counterparty in July, 1999. Beginning June 30, 1999, Gaming has the following interest rate swaps, interest rate ceilings and floor caps, and related notional amounts in effect: (i) an interest rate swap with an original notional amount of $114 million increasing to a maximum of $222.5 million whereby interest is fixed at 5.50% through March 31, 2000; (ii) after March 31, 2000, an interest rate collar with a notional amount of $250 million, a maximum and minimum interest rate of 7.5% and 5.15%, respectively, will go into effect and mature on September 30, 2006; and (iii) an interest rate collar with a notional amount of $160 million, a maximum rate of 8.00%, a minimum rate of 5.15% and a maturity date of March 31, 2003. All rates noted above are LIBOR equivalents only and do not include the impact of the basis point additions to LIBOR that are used in calculating interest expense on Gaming's term loans. The LIBOR applicable to these agreements was 6.16% as of December 31, 1999. The fair market value of the Gaming's interest rate swaps, interest rate ceilings and floor caps as provided by the counterparty, is a net receivable of approximately $4.9 million at December 31, 1999. The notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties, and thus are not a measure of exposure of Gaming. The amounts exchanged are normally based on the notional amounts and other terms of the swaps. The variable rates are subject to change over time as LIBOR fluctuates. Neither Gaming nor the counterparty, which is a prominent financial institution, is required to collateralize their respective obligations under these swaps. Gaming is exposed to loss if the counterparty 24 defaults. However, the Company considers the risk of non-performance to be minimal as the counterparty is a member of the Bank Credit Facility. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires that entities record all derivatives as assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in earnings or in other comprehensive income, depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 amends or supercedes several current accounting statements. In July 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2001. Gaming Holdings is in the process of analyzing SFAS No. 133 and the impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND EQUITY METHOD ACCOUNTING Aladdin Gaming Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Gaming Enterprises"), was established on December 3, 1997. Gaming Enterprises holds a 25% interest in Aladdin Gaming Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Gaming Holdings") which was established on December 1, 1997. Gaming Holdings initially was owned by Gaming Enterprises (25%), Sommer Enterprises, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (72%) ("Sommer Enterprises"), and GAI, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("GAI") (3%). On February 26, 1998, London Clubs International plc ("London Clubs"), through its subsidiary London Clubs Nevada Inc. ("LCNI"), contributed $50 million for a 25% interest in Gaming Holdings common membership interests ("Holdings Common Membership Interests"). Sommer Enterprises contributed a portion of land for Holdings Common Membership Interests. Gaming Enterprises, which is owned 100% by Sommer Enterprises, contributed a portion of land, $7 million of predevelopment costs and $15 million in cash for Holdings Common Membership Interests. After the additional contributions, Sommer Enterprises owns 47% of Gaming Holdings, Gaming Enterprises owns 25% of Gaming Holdings, LCNI owns 25% of Gaming Holdings, and GAI owns 3% of Gaming Holdings. On November 30, 1998, the Sommer Trust and its affiliates agreed that they will cause Sommer Enterprises and Gaming Enterprises to vote their respective Holdings Common Membership Interests so that (taking into account Holdings Common Membership Interests held by London Clubs or its affiliates) London Clubs controls fifty percent of the voting power of Gaming Holdings. On December 10, 1999, the holders of Holdings Common Membership Interest agreed to restate the capital structure of Gaming Holdings, which restatement provided, in addition to other matters, that LCNI has an option to convert certain preferred membership interests of Gaming Holdings into 15% of Holding Common Membership Interests, the creation of certain new classes of preferred membership interests and for LCNI's control of the majority of the Board of Managers of Gaming Holdings; however, most material decisions remain subject to the supermajority consent of Gaming Holdings members. Aladdin Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AHL"), indirectly holds a majority interest in Gaming Holdings. The members of AHL are the Trust Under Article Sixth u/w/o Sigmund Sommer ("Sommer Trust") which holds a 95% interest in AHL and GW Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("GW"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Trust Company of the West ("TCW"), which holds a 5% interest in AHL. Gaming Enterprises has no other business or activity other than its investment in Gaming Holdings, which is a development stage company. Gaming Holdings is a holding company, the material assets of which are 100% of the outstanding common membership interests and 100% of the outstanding Series A preferred interests of Aladdin Gaming, LLC ("Gaming"). Aladdin Capital Corp. ("Capital") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gaming Holdings and was incorporated solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of the 13 1/2% Senior Discount Notes. Capital will not have any material operations or assets and will not have any revenues. Gaming Holdings, through its subsidiaries, also owns 100% of Aladdin Music, LLC ("Aladdin Music"). Gaming Holdings and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as "Company." The operations of Gaming Holdings have been primarily limited to the design, development, financing and construction of a new Aladdin Resort and Casino ("Aladdin"). The Aladdin will be the centerpiece of an approximately 35-acre world-class resort, casino and entertainment complex ("Complex") located on the site of the former Aladdin hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, a premier location at the center of Las Vegas Boulevard. The Aladdin has been designed to include a luxury themed hotel of approximately 31 ALADDIN GAMING ENTERPRISES, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 2,600 rooms, an approximately 116,000 square foot casino, an approximately 1,200-seat production showroom and six restaurants. The Complex will comprise: (i) the Aladdin; (ii) a themed entertainment shopping mall with approximately 496,000 square feet of retail space ("Desert Passage"); (iii) a second hotel and casino with a music and entertainment theme ("Aladdin Music Project"); (iv) the newly renovated 7,000 seat Theater of the Performing Arts ("Theater"); and (v) an approximately 4,800 space car parking facility ("Carpark" and, together with the Desert Passage, hereinafter, "Mall Project"). The Mall Project will be separately owned in part by an affiliate of the Company and Aladdin Music is currently seeking a joint venture partner for the Aladdin Music Project. Gaming Enterprises' interest in Gaming Holdings has been accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, the original investment is recorded at cost, and is adjusted by Gaming Enterprises' share of earnings, losses and distributions, including preferred dividends accrued, received from and made to the investee. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Gaming Enterprises considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INCOME TAXES Gaming Enterprises accounts for income taxes using the liability method as set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes". Under the liability method, deferred taxes are provided based on the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of Gaming Enterprises' assets and liabilities. There was no income tax expense or benefit recorded for the period from inception (December 3, 1997) through December 31, 1999 as Gaming Enterprises is a development stage company and the realization of any deferred tax asset is uncertain. LOSS PER BASIC AND DILUTED SHARE Loss per basic and diluted share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Basic and diluted shares outstanding were 3,322,500, 2,876,466 and 2,984,990 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and from inception (December 3, 1997) through December 31, 1999, respectively. Diluted shares include stock options and warrants when dilutive. Due to the loss accumulated during the development stage, Gaming Enterprises' warrants would be anti-dilutive and therefore have not been utilized in the computation of dilutive shares. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires that entities record all derivatives as assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in earnings or in other comprehensive income, depending on the use of 32 ALADDIN GAMING ENTERPRISES, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 amends or supercedes several current accounting statements. In July 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2001. Gaming Holdings is in the process of analyzing SFAS No. 133 and the impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. PRIVATE OFFERING On February 26, 1998, Gaming Holdings, Gaming Capital Corp. ("Capital" together with Gaming Holdings, the "Issuers") and Gaming Enterprises consummated a private offering ("Offering") under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.

(8,487) (10,617) Members' share of equity costs.............................. -- (581) ------- -------- Ending Investment Balance................................. $ 8,562 $ 17,049 ======= ======== During 1999, the Company increased the Main Project Budget by approximately $79.6 million, of which $12.4 million was funded in the first quarter of 2000. This amount reflected an increase in construction costs of approximately $53.2 million, an increase in pre-opening costs of approximately $21.9 million and an increase in capitalized interest of $4.5 million. Pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty, during 1999, a total of $67.2 million was paid, approximately $62.8 million by London Clubs and approximately $4.4 million by the Sommer Trust. The Aladdin project budget ("Budget") was $826 million when Gaming and Gaming Holdings entered into arrangements to finance construction of the Aladdin in February 1998. Since that time and to 34 ALADDIN GAMING ENTERPRISES, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE (CONTINUED) March 1, 2000, the Budget was increased by an aggregate of $87.8 million to $913 million, which amounts were funded pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty by London Clubs and the Sommer Trust. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between London Clubs and the Sommer Trust, dated February 26, 1998 ("Contribution Agreement"), Sommer Trust and London Clubs agreed that any amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty would be funded 75% by the Sommer Trust and 25% by London Clubs. Effective as of October 1, 1999, these contribution percentages were amended to be 60% in the case of the Sommer Trust and 40% in the case of London Clubs. Notwithstanding the Contribution Agreement, the $87.8 million Budget increase was funded approximately $83.5 million by London Clubs and approximately $4.3 million by the Sommer Trust. During March 2000, the Company completed a review of the estimated total costs to complete and open the Aladdin and, as a result of that review, increased the Budget by $60.4 million. The Company advised the Sommer Trust and London Clubs of the need to fund such increase pursuant to the Bank Completion Guaranty. The Sommer Trust advised the Company and London Clubs that it is not at this time making any capital contribution in order to fund any portion of this Budget increase of $60.4 million. In light of the joint and several obligation of the Bank Completion Guaranty, London Clubs has advised the Company that it would fund all of this Budget increase by (a) providing a cash equity contribution to the Company of approximately $13.1 million, which the Company received on March 30, 2000, and (b) establishing a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $47.3 million to be used to fund the Budget increase. The Company believes that the Budget as set out above is reasonable and can be achieved. The Company is subject to risks common to developing a large scale construction project. While the Company believes that its estimates are reasonable, and that the projected targets can be met, there can be no assurance that the Complex will be completed within the time period or budget currently contemplated. In addition, if the additional identified potential funding sources are insufficient or unavailable to fully cover any excess, the Company could be materially and adversely affected. So, while the Company believes that its estimates are reasonable, and that the projected targets can be met, there can be no assurance that the Complex, including the Aladdin, will be completed within the time period or budget currently contemplated. 4. EQUITY CONTRIBUTIONS On February 26, 1998, Sommer Enterprises, LLC contributed land and $7 million of predevelopment costs in exchange for 100% of the Class A Common Stock in Gaming Enterprises. Gaming Enterprises contributed the land, the $7 million of predevelopment costs and the net proceeds, $15 million allocable from the sale of the warrants to Gaming Holdings in exchange for 25% of the common membership interests in Gaming Holdings. 35 ITEM 9.

Lettero (collectively, "Officers") each signed an employment agreement ("Employment Agreement") with the Company. Patricia Becker is currently negotiating an employment agreement with the Company that is expected to be comparable to the employment agreements discussed herein. The initial term of Mr. Goeglein's Employment Agreement is five years and six months, and the remaining Officers' Employment Agreements have varying durations depending upon when the Employment Agreements were executed. Pursuant to each Employment Agreement, the Officers have such authority, responsibilities and duties as are customarily associated with their positions with Gaming. The Employment Agreements provide that, during the term of their employment, the Officers will devote their full time, efforts and attention to the business and affairs of Gaming. The terms of the Employment Agreements provide for an annual base salary for Mr. Goeglein of $500,000 ($600,000 after the opening of the Aladdin), Mr. Timmins of $252,000 (subject to adjustment after the opening of the Aladdin), Mr. Rueda $250,000, Mr. Attaway $312,000, Ms. Falvey $175,000 ($200,000 after the opening of the Aladdin), and Mr. Lettero $300,000, respectively, plus any bonus granted by the Board of Directors based on relevant criteria and performance standards. All of the Officers have been receiving and are expected to continue to receive their compensation from Gaming, except that prior to February 26, 1998, such amounts were paid by AHL on Gaming's behalf. Mr. Goeglein's Employment Agreement provides for annual bonuses based upon "on target" performances, ranging from 50% to 75% of his base salary, and is subject to certain tax provisions. The Gaming Board will consider increases to the Officers' base salary no less frequently than annually, commencing at the end of each Officer's first employment year. Any increase in base salary shall be within the sole discretion of the Gaming Board. The Employment Agreements provide that the Officers' salary cannot be reduced. After the initial term of Mr. Goeglein's Employment Agreement, Gaming has agreed to retain Mr. Goeglein as a consultant to Gaming for an additional five years at $100,000 per year. The Officers are entitled to receive other employee benefits from Gaming, such as health, pension and retirement and reimbursement of certain expenses. Mr. Lettero's Employment Agreement is effective upon the earlier termination of Mr. Lettero's prior employment agreement and all obligations therein or the waiver of the notification and termination provisions therein. Mr. Lettero's Employment Agreement provides for a 41 signing bonus of $300,000 ("Signing Bonus") which (a) if the Employment Agreement is terminated due to Mr. Lettero's disability, or by the Company for "Cause" or by Mr. Lettero without "Good Reason," each as defined in the Employment Agreement, Mr. Lettero is obligated to pay the Company the net after tax amount of the Signing Bonus or (b) shall be applied to Mr. Lettero's compensation otherwise payable in the third year of the Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements, as amended, Messrs. Goeglein and Rueda have purchased for a total purchase price of $1,200 and $450, respectively, unvested Gaming Common Membership Interests which were contributed to Gaming Holdings on February 26, 1998 in return for unvested Holdings Common Membership Interests representing approximately 2.0% and 0.75%, respectively, of the Holdings Common Membership Interests ("Restricted Membership Interests") subject to the receipt of applicable Nevada Gaming Approval. Gaming Enterprises' interest in Gaming Holdings will be unaffected by the vesting of the officers' Restricted Membership Interests. On January 27, 1999, the Gaming Holdings' Board of Directors, except with respect to Mr. Goeglein, amended the vesting schedule of each officer's Restricted Membership Interests during the terms of the Employment Agreement to vest 25% on the date of the opening of the Aladdin and a further 25% upon the expiration of the initial term of the Employment Agreement. If Gaming continues to employ each officer after the expiration of the initial term of his Employment Agreement, 25% of the officer's Restricted Membership Interests will continue to vest on each anniversary of the opening date until such interests are fully vested. After the terms of the Employment Agreements, if Gaming does not continue to employ the officer other than for Cause, or if the officer no longer continues his employment for Good Reason, only an additional 25% of the officer's Restricted Membership Interests vest. Mr. Goeglein's Restricted Membership Interests become fully vested at the earlier of July 1, 2002 and the date on which such interests become publicly traded, conditioned upon Mr. Goeglein's continued relationship with Gaming. If an officer's employment with Gaming and Gaming Holdings terminates, Gaming and Gaming Holdings have the right to repurchase any unvested portion of the officer's Restricted Membership Interest for an amount equal to the purchase price originally paid by the officer for the Common Membership Interests. Under certain circumstances as set forth in the Employment Agreements, including if an initial public offering with respect to the Restricted Membership Interests has not occurred prior to the full vesting of such interests, the officers have the right to sell their vested Restricted Membership Interests to Gaming Holdings at fair market value (subject to the receipt of applicable Gaming Approvals and to certain restrictions on restricted payments set forth in the Notes Indenture and the Bank Credit Facility). If Gaming Holdings does not satisfy its obligation to purchase the Restricted Membership Interests within seven days, the officers have the right to require Gaming to purchase such interests at fair market value (subject to certain restrictions on Restricted Payments set forth in the Note Indenture). After Gaming has satisfied its obligation to purchase the Restricted Membership Interests, Gaming Holdings has the right to call such interests from Gaming for nominal consideration. If, prior to the date of an initial public offering with respect to the Restricted Membership Interests, an officer is terminated for Cause, except with respect to Mr. Goeglein, Gaming and Gaming Holdings have the right to purchase any vested Restricted Membership Interests from the officers at two times the original price paid by the officer for such interests (in each case with corresponding rights in Gaming Holdings to purchase the Common Membership Interests which correspond to such Restricted Membership Interests for nominal consideration). The Company is currently developing a further equity compensation arrangement, or the economic equivalent thereof, for Mr. Timmins, Mr. Attaway, Ms. Falvey, Ms. Becker and Mr. Lettero. The Employment Agreements may be terminated by Gaming with or without Cause (as defined in each Employment Agreement) or by the Officers for Good Reason (as defined in each Employment Agreement). If an Officer is terminated for Cause, he shall be entitled only to such salary, bonus and benefits then accrued or vested. If an Officer is terminated without Cause or upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreements), the Officer shall be entitled to such salary, bonus and benefits to which he would have been entitled for the remainder of the four-year term or twelve months, whichever is 42 longer (in the case of Mr. Goeglein, any such amount remaining in connection with his term plus certain other amounts). Each Officer has agreed not to compete with Gaming during the term of the Employment Agreements (plus one additional year if the Officer was terminated for Cause) and has agreed to refrain from certain other activities in competition with Gaming. Each of the Employment Agreements provides that Gaming shall indemnify and hold the Officers harmless to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law against costs, expenses, liabilities and losses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred or suffered by the Officer in connection with his services as an employee of Gaming during the term of the respective Employment Agreement. Mr. Goeglein's Employment Agreement provides Mr. Goeglein with relocation expense reimbursement, an interest-free mortgage loan of $500,000 from AHL, and certain excise tax gross-up provisions. GAI CONSULTING AGREEMENT Gaming has entered into a consulting agreement (as amended, "Consulting Agreement") with GAI. The Consulting Agreement was subsequently amended on February 26, 1998 to add Gaming Holdings as a party and pursuant to which amendment GAI contributed its Common Membership Interests in Gaming to Gaming Holdings in return for Holdings Common Membership Interests. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, GAI will render such consulting services as are reasonably requested by the Gaming Board until June 30, 2002. During the term of the Consulting Agreement, Gaming shall pay GAI a retainer of $12,500 each month as payment for remaining on call to provide services and expertise for such month. In addition, GAI purchased a 3% Common Membership Interest in Gaming which, was contributed to Gaming Holdings on February 26, 1998 in return for a 3% Holdings Common Membership Interest ("GAI Membership Interest") for a purchase price of $1,800. The GAI Membership Interest is fully vested and is subject to certain anti-dilution provisions contained in the Consulting Agreement (but subject to dilution upon exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the offering of the Notes). In addition: (a) if Richard Goeglein is terminated from his employment with Gaming other than for "Cause" or voluntarily terminates for "Good Reason" (as such terms are defined in Mr. Goeglein's Employment Agreement with Gaming) after the consummation of the Funding Transactions and the Offering; or (b) if an initial public offering in respect of the GAI Membership Interest has not occurred prior to July 1, 2002, GAI has the right to sell any shares purchased under the Consulting Agreement back to Gaming Holdings at their fair market value at the time of such sale (subject to the receipt of applicable Gaming Approvals and to certain restrictions on restricted payments set forth in the Notes Indenture and the Bank Credit Facility). If Gaming Holdings does not satisfy its obligation to purchase the GAI Membership Interest within seven days, GAI has the right to require Gaming to purchase such interests at fair market value. After Gaming has satisfied its obligation to purchase the GAI Membership Interest, Gaming Holdings will have the right to call such interests from Gaming at nominal value. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, GAI has certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to its interests purchased pursuant to the Consulting Agreement. Gaming Holdings has agreed to indemnify GAI, its legal counsel and independent accountants against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities which may arise out of certain acts or omissions committed in connection with the registration of such membership interests, and, in connection with certain acts or omissions not committed in connection with the registration of such membership interests, to the same extent that other senior management and directors of Gaming and Gaming Holdings are indemnified. For further details on the Consultant Agreement, see Exhibit 10.40 to Gaming Enterprises' Registration Statement on Form S-4, Amendment No. 1, filed June 10, 1998, Part II, Item 21. 43 Mr. Goeglein has granted a third party an option to acquire a 15% interest in GAI. The Company believes that any exercise of the option will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. BONUS AND INCENTIVE PLANS Gaming and Gaming Holdings are currently developing bonus and/or incentive plans (subject to supermajority approval by the Gaming Holdings Members, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). It is expected that the terms of any such plans would be comparable to those customary in the industry. ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

For further details, see Part II, Item 16, Exhibit 10.11 to Gaming Enterprises' Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed April 9, 1999. 47 OTHER PAYMENTS TO CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS In consideration for certain expenses incurred by the Sommer Trust prior to February 26, 1998, relating to the management and coordination of the development of the Aladdin, Gaming reimbursed $3.0 million to the Sommer Trust on February 26, 1998.

As of December 31, 1999, the Sommer Trust had received approximately $3.3 million of the total $3.9 million reimbursement. In consideration for its obligations under the Keep-Well Agreement (as defined below) and related arrangements, under the London Clubs Purchase Agreement, the parties agreed that London Clubs receive (a) an initial fee of 1.0% of Gaming's indebtedness with respect to a $265.0 million portion of the Bank Credit Facility, which is supported and enhanced by the Keep-Well Agreement, which fee was paid on February 26, 1998, and (b) an annual fee of 1.5%, payable in arrears, of Gaming's annual average indebtedness with respect to a $265.0 million portion of the Bank Credit Facility, which is supported and enhanced by the Keep-Well Agreement for each relevant twelve month period ending on an anniversary of the closing date of the Bank Credit Facility, which amount shall reflect the extent, if any, by which the obligations under the Keep-Well Agreement are reduced or eliminated over time (such fees accrue from the closing date of the Bank Credit Facility, and shall be paid from available proceeds after the opening date of the Aladdin). Additionally, Gaming agreed to reimburse approximately $2.8 million to London Clubs for certain expenses incurred relating to the Aladdin; however, in November 1998, London Clubs agreed to defer the payment of approximately $189,000 of this reimbursement until the Main Project Budget under the Credit Agreement is In Balance (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility).

ARRANGEMENTS WITH RICHARD GOEGLEIN AND GAI Gaming has entered into the Consulting Agreement with GAI. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, GAI will render such consulting services as are reasonably requested by the Board of Gaming until June 30, 2002.
