During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the registrant terminated an interest rate swap and entered into a new interest rate swap. Due to the complexities of calculations under SFAS No. 133 as to these two hedges and the disclosures required under Item 3 of Part I of Form 10-Q, the registrant will be unable to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by May 15, 2001. It expects however to file the report on or before May 18, 2001. PART IV OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification. Stephen R. Roark, CFO (303) 582-1177 X7249 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number) (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter) period that the registrant was required to file such reports) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). [x] Yes [ ] No (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [x] Yes [ ] No The registrant generated net revenues of approximately $24,087,000 during the three-months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $20,268,000 for the same period of 2000. The increase in net revenues of approximately 19% was the result of net revenues generated from Gold Dust West, a casino acquired January 4, 2001 of $4,335,000 offset by decreases in net revenues at the registrant's two Colorado casinos of $354,000 and $162,000 respectively. The registrant believes the primary reason for the decrease in net revenues at its Colorado properties for the three months ended March 31, 2001 over the same period of 2000 was due to the new competition in the City of Black Hawk. During February and March 2000, gaming devices in the City of Black Hawk increased approximately 1,700 units or 24% with the opening of two new casinos. Additionally, existing casinos have intensified their marketing efforts to maintain pace with the market place. The registrant's total costs and expenses were approximately $18,062,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $14,483,000 for the same period of 2000. The overall increase of approximately 25% was the result of costs and expenses incurred by Gold Dust West as well as increases in our costs and expenses at our Colorado casinos. As a result of the factors discussed above, the registrant expects to report net income of approximately $1,396,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1,800,000 for the same period of 2000, a decrease in net income of approximately 22%.
