The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. 5 COLONIAL HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2001. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the respective three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. Interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilutive effect of securities (which can consist of stock options and warrants) that could share in earnings of an entity. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period's financial statements in order to conform to the June 30, 2001 presentation. 2.

7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION GENERAL The Company, through its subsidiaries, holds the only licenses to own and operate a racetrack (the "Track") and satellite wagering facilities ("Racing Centers") in Virginia. The Company currently operates Racing Centers in Chesapeake, Richmond, Hampton, and Alberta, Virginia, and may open up to two additional Racing Centers under applicable law if suitable opportunities are identified and referenda are passed. The Company's revenues are comprised of (i) pari-mutuel commissions from wagering on races broadcast from out-of-state racetracks to the Company's Racing Centers and the Track using import simulcasting; (ii) wagering at the Track and the Company's Racing Centers on its live races; (iii) admission fees, program and racing form sales, and certain other ancillary activities; (iv) commissions from food and beverage sales and concessions; (v) fees from wagering at out-of-state locations on races run at the Track using export simulcasting; and (vi) starting in 2001, management fees for the operation of truckstops and gaming assets owned by an affiliate of the Company's largest shareholder. PROPOSED PRIVATIZATION On June 11, 2001, the Company announced the execution of a merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Gameco, Inc., an entity owned and controlled by Jeffrey P. Jacobs, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has agreed to pay $1.10 per share, in cash, for each share of common stock of the Company not currently owned by Mr. Jacobs or his affiliates and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gameco. Consummation of the transaction is subject to various conditions, including, among other things, the approval by the Company's stockholders and the obtaining of various regulatory approvals. In an order dated July 31, 2001, the Virginia Racing Commission approved the acquisition by Gameco of more than a five percent (5%) interest in the entities licensed by the Commission. The Commission's approval is not a recommendation regarding shareholder approval or disapproval of the proposed merger. Consummation of the transaction remains subject to other conditions, including approval by Colonial Holdings' shareholders. Shareholders will be asked to vote on the merger agreement after a proxy statement has been filed with and been cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the merger is consummated, the registrant will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Gameco, and will cease to be a public company. Gameco is an entity controlled by Jeffrey P. Jacobs, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. If approved by the shareholders, the Company anticipates completing the transaction in the fourth calendar quarter of 2001. PROFIT CENTER ANALYSIS For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, net loss was $560,000 and $687,000, respectively, compared to net loss of $328,000 and $515,000 for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Net income at the Racing Centers increased by $191,000 and $37,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding three and six month periods of the prior year. Net loss for the Track and live 8 racing operations increased by $173,000 and $100,000, respectively, and corporate overhead, including Colonial Holdings Management, Inc. ("Colonial Management"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, increased by $250,000 and $109,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 Colonial Management generated $81,000 and $114,000, respectively, in net management fees. An analysis of these changes is set forth below in reviews of the operations at the Racing Centers and the Track, respectively. Racing Centers Revenues at the Racing Centers increased $71,000 and $457,000 for the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2001, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. These results reflect an increase in amounts wagered ("handle") for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and a slight increase in average pari-mutuel commission rates payable to the Company for its export simulcasts. Direct expenses decreased by $45,000 and increased by $410,000 for the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2001 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The change in these expenses is directly correlated with the decreases and increases in handle during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and reflect the proportional commissions payable to other racetracks for import simulcasts. The Company entered into a three year agreement with the Virginia Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association ("VaHBPA"), effective January 1, 1999, that set a minimum payment of $3.125 million for 1999 purses, with 25 days of live racing with average daily purses of no less than $125,000. Of the total $3.125 million guaranteed payments, $1.5 million was considered to be an advance of purse money due in years 2000 and 2001. In 2000, the Company contributed 5 1/4% of the Handle generated on simulcast thoroughbred racing to the thoroughbred purse account and will do so in 2001 as well. In 2000, the purse account repaid $750,000 of the advance plus interest thereon back to the Company, effectively reducing the Company's 2000 purse expense. As a result of an increase in purse expenditures for the 2001 thoroughbred meet, the Company believes that its contractually required payments into the purse account will not exceed the purse expenditure for 2001 by enough to facilitate repayment of the entire remaining $750,00. The Company anticipates that approximately $500,000 of the remaining $750,000 due from the purse account will be repaid in 2001. Accordingly, an adjustment has been made to effectively reduce purse expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 by $250,000. The remaining unpaid balance of the advance will reduce purse expense when considered collectible. Other expenses decreased by $75,000 and increased by $10,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. As a result, net income at the Racing Centers increased by $191,000 and $37,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding three and six month periods of the prior year. Track Losses at the Track increased by $173,000 and $100,000 for the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2001, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The Company incurred expenses in the second quarter for the 2001 thoroughbred meet which commenced July 3 and ended August 7, 2001. Off season revenue at the Track increased $27,000 and $47,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in revenue is the result of efforts to expand the uses of the track facility during periods when there is no live racing. Overhead and other costs associated with maintaining the Track facility decreased $39,000 and $92,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to the corresponding 9 period of the prior year. Marketing and other expenses related to the 2001 thoroughbred meet which opened July 3, 2001 were $239,000. Corporate Overhead and Colonial Management For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, corporate overhead increased by $331,000 and $223,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in corporate overhead is due primarily to legal, accounting and consulting costs of $328,000 resulting from the proposed merger by Gameco, Inc., an affiliate of Jeffrey P. Jacobs, the Company's largest shareholder and CEO and Chairman of the Board, with the Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, Colonial Management generated revenues of $158,000 and $258,000, respectively, and had $77,000 and $144,000, respectively, of related labor and travel expenses from managing truckstops in Louisiana. Net Interest Expense Interest expense, net of interest income, was approximately the same for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 as for the corresponding periods of the prior year. REVENUE AND EXPENSE ANALYSIS The following table sets forth certain operating results as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:
(Percentage of Net Revenues) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, -------------------- -------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 --------- --------- --------- --------- Revenues: Pari-mutuel and simulcasting commissions 92.3% 94.8% 93.0% 94.7% Other 7.7% 5.2% 7.0% 5.3% --------- --------- --------- --------- Total revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Direct operating expenses: Purses, fees, and pari-mutuel taxes 39.3% 41.5% 41.3% 41.0% Simulcast and other direct expenses 38.6% 36.2% 36.4% 35.4% --------- --------- --------- --------- Total direct operating expenses 77.9% 77.7% 77.7% 76.4% Selling, general, and administrative expenses 15.1% 11.8% 12.4% 11.6% Depreciation and amortization 5.4% 6.1% 5.4% 6.1% --------- --------- --------- --------- Earnings (loss) from operations 1.6% 4.4% 4.5% 5.9% Interest income (expense), net (9.4)% (9.2)% (9.2)% (9.7)% --------- --------- --------- --------- Loss before taxes (7.8)% (4.8)% (4.7)% (3.8)%
Total Revenues. Total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $257,000 (3.7%) and $764,000 (5.5%), respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior year. Compared to the corresponding three and six months ended June 30, 2000, off season track revenues increased $28,000 and $47,000, respectively. Revenues from the Racing Centers increased $71,000 and $457,000 for the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2001, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase for the six-month period is due, in part, from the Racing Centers' closure for two days in January 2000 because of snow and limited operations for several more days 10 with limited simulcast signals due to the closure of several Northeastern tracks. Colonial Management revenue was $158,000 and $258,000 for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, ended June 30, 2001. Direct Operating Expenses. As a percentage of revenues, direct operating expenses increased .2% and 1.4%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from the corresponding period of the prior year. As a result of the adjustment to purse expense discussed in Profit Center Analysis, purse expense decreased $69,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Purse expense was $216,000 higher for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due to the increase in handle. Fees, pari-mutuel taxes, simulcast and other direct expenses increased $284,000 and $568,000 for the three and six months, respectively, ended March 31, 2001, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in other direct expenses correlated to the increase in handle. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased 3.3% from 11.8% to 15.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and increased .8% from 11.6% to 12.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in SG&A is due to the increase in advertising due to the timing of the 2001 live thoroughbred meet and the costs associated with the proposed merger offset by reductions in regular legal expenses. Net Earnings (Loss). Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $560,000 and $687,000, respectively, compared to net loss of $328,000 and $515,000 for the corresponding periods of the prior year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, the Company has incurred aggregate net losses of approximately $11.0 million and has a working capital deficit of $5.5 million at June 30, 2001. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate working capital to support its operations until they become profitable. The Company has been and continues to be largely dependent on the financial support of its principal stockholder, who through affiliated entities and related parties is the holder of $25.7 million of debt from the Company as of June 30, 2001. In conjunction with the merger agreement with Gameco, the Company's principal shareholder has agreed to provide Colonial up to $1.0 million in working capital through December 31, 2001, a minimum of $600,000 of which must be in cash, and the balance of which may be in the form of forgiveness of fees and expenses payable to Mr. Jacobs and his affiliates. Cash Flows. After adjusting the net loss of $687,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, $103,000 in cash was provided. The increase in accounts payable and other operating liabilities provided $678,000 of cash. This was offset by the increases in accounts receivable and other assets which used $681,000. The increase in purses due to horsemen in excess of amounts funded resulting from the adoption of a provision in the thoroughbred horsemen's agreement that allows the Company to contribute less than 5 % of handle early in the year and more than 5 % later in the year, for an aggregate annual contribution of 5 % of the thoroughbred handle. This provided $616,000 of cash. As a result, total cash provided by operating activities was $716,000. Investing activities, consisting of capital expenditures and decreases in construction payables, utilized 11 approximately $372,000 of cash. Financing activities used approximately $12,000 of cash. Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $1.4 million. EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to service and incur debt. The Company's EBITDA for the first six months of 2001 and 2000 was approximately $1,450,000 and $1,680,000, respectively. The decrease in EBITDA is primarily due to lower earnings from operations due to changes in revenues, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses discussed in "Results of Operations" above. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity. EBITDA is defined as the sum of income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EFFECT OF INFLATION The impact of inflation on the Company's operations has not been significant in recent years. There can be no assurance, however, that a high rate of inflation in the future will not have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results. SEASONALITY AND THE EFFECT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER Revenues and expenses relating to the Track may be higher during scheduled live racing than at other times of the year. In addition, weather conditions such as those produced by a hurricane (Hurricane Floyd struck the area in 1999) sometimes cause cancellation of outdoor horse races or curtail attendance, both of which reduce wagering. Attendance and wagering at both outdoor races and indoor Racing Centers also may be adversely affected by certain holidays and professional and college sports seasons as well as other recreational activities. Conversely, attendance and wagering may be favorably affected by special racing events which stimulate interest in horse racing, such as the Triple Crown races in May and June and the Breeders' Cup in November. As a result, the Company's revenues and net income may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Given that a substantial portion of the Company's Track expenses are fixed, the loss of scheduled thoroughbred racing days could have a material adverse affect on the Company's profitability. The Company believes that simulcasting diminishes the effect of inclement weather on wagering. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the 12 useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company is also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142. SFAS 141 and 142 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
