NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Colony Resorts LVH Acquisitions, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Company”), was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 18, 2003. The Company owns and operates the Las Vegas Hilton, a casino resort located in Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Hotel”). The Company licenses from Hilton Inns, Inc. (“Hilton”) the right to Hilton’s reservation system and Hilton’s HHonors Programs™.

The Company’s members consist of (1) Colony Resorts LVH Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Colony VI, a discrete investment fund managed by an affiliate of Colony Capital, (2) Colony Resorts LVH Co-Investment Partners, L.P. (“Co-Investment Partners”), (3) Colony Resorts LVH Coinvestment Voteco, LLC (“Coinvestment Voteco”) and (4) Colony Resorts LVH Voteco, LLC (“Voteco”), each of which purchased Class A or Class B Membership Units on June 18, 2004 in connection with the equity financing described in Note 5, (5) WH/LVH Managers Voteco, LLC (“Whitehall Voteco”) which acquired certain Class A Membership Units from Co-Investment Voteco on July 19, 2006 and (6) Nicholas L. Ribis (“Mr. Ribis”) who acquired certain Class A and Class B Membership Units from Voteco and Holdings, respectively, on November 21, 2006.

Prior to June 18, 2004, the Company had conducted no business other than in connection with the execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined below), relating to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of LVH Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“LVH”) (the “Acquisition”). LVH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., formerly Park Place Entertainment Corporation (“Caesars”) that prior to the Acquisition operated the Las Vegas Hilton, a casino resort located in Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Hotel” or the “Property”). Commencing June 18, 2004, the operations, assets and liabilities of the Property are included in the Company’s financial statements.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three-months ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses; including related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates those estimates, including those related to asset impairments, accruals for slot and table game marketing points, compensation and related benefits, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

2. NEW TERM LOAN

On May 11, 2006, the Company entered into a new Loan Agreement with Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital, L.P. (the “new Term Loan”). The new Term Loan was for an initial principal amount of $209.2 million and was for an initial term of two (2) years with three, one-year extensions. The Company has drawn an additional $21.0 million against the new Term Loan. The new Term Loan is subject to future funding to a maximum of $250 million.

Interest on the new Term Loan accrues at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 2.9%. The new Term Loan provides for no amortization during the term. The new Term Loan is collateralized by a first priority deed of trust on the Property.

Pursuant to the terms of the new Term Loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap for $607,900 with LIBOR strike rate of 5.75% for the first two years of the new Term Loan and an interest rate cap with LIBOR strike rate of 6.25% for any extension periods. As of March 31, 2007, the interest rate cap was valued at $54,917.

Proceeds from the new Term Loan were used to extinguish the Archon Loan (the “Term Loan”) dated as of June 18, 2004 and to pay a $1.0 million exit fee.

The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1,318,000 relating to loan costs associated with the original Term Loan.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company entered into a Services Agreement, Joint Services Agreement and Joint Marketing Agreement with Resorts International Hotel, Inc. (“Resorts”) an affiliate of the Company (through common control) on June 18, 2004. On April 25, 2005, the Joint Services Agreement and the Joint Marketing Agreement were amended and restated to add RIH Resorts, LLC, an affiliate of the Company (through common control), as a party to the agreements. These agreements provide for an initial term of three years with automatic one year renewal periods. The agreements provide that the Company and Resorts will cooperatively develop and implement joint services and marketing programs.

The Company provides and/or receives services from affiliated companies. The total net value of services received from the affiliated companies was approximately $976,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

4. REDEEMABLE MEMBERS’ INTERESTS

In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company, Voteco, Co-Investment Voteco, Co-Investment Partners and Holdings entered into a Sale Right Agreement, dated June 18, 2004 (the “Sale Right Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of Co-Investment Partners’ partnership agreement, at any time after May 23, 2008, Whitehall (a limited partner in Co-Investment Partners and an affiliate of Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital, L.P., the lender under the new Term Loan) has the right to request that Co-Investment Partners purchase all of Whitehall’s interest in Co-Investment Partners at a purchase price determined by Whitehall. Pursuant to the Sale Right Agreement, upon receiving notice from Whitehall that it has exercised the sale right the Company must, within forty-five days elect to either (i) purchase that portion of the Class B Membership Units which represent Whitehall’s interest in Co-investment Partners or (ii) sell the Company in its entirety. If the Company elects not to redeem the Class B Membership Units, it must appoint Goldman Sachs & Co. as its sole and exclusive agent for a period of one year to seek to sell the Company at a price extrapolated from the price Whitehall established for its interest in Co-Investment Partners. In addition, on June 18, 2010, if the Company has not been sold pursuant to sale right above or otherwise, the Company shall appoint Goldman Sachs & Co. as its sole agent to seek to sell the Company at the best price obtainable unless Whitehall and Co-Investment Partners both agree not to sell the Company or to postpone such sale. For purposes of the diluted membership unit calculation, it is assumed that the redemption of Whitehall’s interest or sale of the property will be consummated at fair value.

5. MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

In connection with and immediately prior to the Acquisition, the Company issued Class A Membership Units (“Class A Units”) to Co-Investment Voteco and Voteco on a pro rata basis in proportion to the equity contributions made by each entity. In addition, the Company issued Class B Membership Units (“Class B Units” and together with the Class A Units, the “Membership Units”) to Co-Investment Partners and to Holdings, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the equity contributions made by each entity. All of these entities are existing affiliates of the Company. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement and following receipt of all required approvals from the Nevada Gaming Commission, Co-Investment Voteco transferred certain Class A Units to Whitehall Voteco, and as a result, Whitehall Voteco joined the Company as a member and became a party to the Operating Agreement effective July 19, 2006. Pursuant to an Option Agreement between Mr. Ribis, Voteco and Holdings, Mr. Ribis exercised options to acquire Class A Units and Class B Units directly from Voteco and Holdings, respectively, and as a result, Mr. Ribis joined the Company as a member and became a party to the Operating Agreement effective November 21, 2006.

As of March 31, 2007, Voteco owns 0.585 Class A Units, Co-Investment Voteco owns 0.30 Class A Units, Whitehall Voteco owns 0.60 Class A Units and Mr. Ribis owns 0.015 Class A Units. In addition, as of March 31, 2007, Holdings owns 585,000 Class B Units, Co-Investment Partners owns 900,000 Class B Units and Mr. Ribis owns 15,000 Class B Units. Prior to the closing of the Company’s acquisition of the Hotel on June 18, 2004 (the “Acquisition”), the Company executed the Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, holders of Class A Units are entitled to one vote per unit in all matters to be voted on by voting members of the Company. Holders of Class B Units are not entitled to vote, except as otherwise expressly required by law.

At the time of the closing of the Acquisition, a Transfer Restriction Agreement was executed by and among Thomas J. Barrack, Jr. (“Mr. Barrack”), Mr. Ribis, Co-Investment Partners and Co-Investment Voteco (the “Coinvestment Transfer Restriction Agreement”) and a Transfer Restriction Agreement was executed by and among Mr. Barrack, Voteco and Holdings (the “Voteco Transfer Restriction Agreement”). At the time of the transfer of certain Class A Units to Whitehall Voteco from Co-Investment Voteco, a Transfer Restriction Agreement was executed by and among Stuart Rothenberg (“Mr. Rothenberg”), Brahm Cramer (“Mr. Cramer”) and Jonathan Langer (“Mr. Langer”) and together with Mr. Rothenberg and Mr. Cramer, the “Whitehall Voteco Members”, Whitehall Voteco and Co-Investment Partners (the “Whitehall Voteco Transfer Restriction Agreement”).

The Company’s Class A Units issued to Co-Investment Voteco are subject to the Co-Investment Transfer Restriction Agreement, which provides, among other things, that:

 

   

Co-Investment Partners has the right to acquire Class A Units from Co-Investment Voteco on each occasion that Class B Units held by Co-Investment Partners would be transferred to a proposed purchaser who, in connection with such proposed sale, has obtained all licenses, permits, registrations, authorizations, consents, waivers, orders, findings of suitability or other approvals required to be obtained from, and has made all findings, notices or declarations required to be made with, all gaming authorities under all applicable gaming laws;

 

   

A specific purchase price, as determined in accordance with the Co-Investment Transfer Restriction Agreement, will be paid to acquire the Class A Units from Coinvestment Voteco; and

 

   

Co-Investment Voteco will not transfer ownership of Class A Units owned by it except pursuant to such option of Co-Investment Partners.

The Company’s Class A Units issued to Voteco are subject to the Voteco Transfer Restriction Agreement, which provides, among other things, that:

 

   

Holdings has the right to acquire Class A Units from Voteco on each occasion that Class B Units held by Holdings would be transferred to a proposed purchaser who, in connection with such proposed sale, has obtained all licenses, permits, registrations, authorizations, consents, waivers, orders, findings of suitability or other approvals required to be obtained from, and has made all findings, notices or declarations required to be made with, all gaming authorities under all applicable gaming laws;

A specific purchase price, as determined in accordance with the Voteco Transfer Restriction Agreement, will be paid to acquire the Class A Units from Voteco; and

 

   

Voteco will not transfer ownership of Class A Units owned by it except pursuant to such option of Holdings.

Whitehall Voteco will not transfer ownership of Class A Units owned by it except pursuant to such option of Co-Investment Partners.

It is currently anticipated that any future holders of the Company’s Membership Units will become a party to the Operating Agreement.

6. 2004 INCENTIVE PLAN

In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company’s board and members approved the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). As of June 18, 2004, the Company had a total of 0.167 Class A Units and 166,667 Class B units reserved for issuance under the Plan. The Plan was amended by the board on May 16, 2006 in order to (1) comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and (2) eliminate the provision that excludes the value attributable to the Development Parcels (as defined in the Plan).

Subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the Company granted 0.167 options of Class A Units and 166,667 options of Class B Units to certain executives, in accordance with the Plan. The options have a 10 year life, vest over three years and have an exercise price of $100 per unit in both classes which was equal to, or greater than, the fair market value of the membership units at the date of grant. As a result of the amendment on May 16, 2006 which eliminated the exclusion of the value of the Development Parcels, the options increased in value.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123(R)) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s estimated requisite service period (generally the vesting period of equity award) on a straight-line basis. Estimates are revised if key elements of the options change. The cumulative effect on compensation cost as a result of changes to key elements or forfeiture estimates are recognized in the period of the change. The amendment on May 16, 2006 triggered a revaluation of the options. The increase in value will be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of the options.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No.25), and related interpretations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method and accordingly, financial statement amounts for prior periods presented in the Form 10-K have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to these options.

The fair value of the option awards is estimated on the date of grant using an appraisal of the value of the Company and its membership units. No additional grants have been awarded subsequent to the Acquisition date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, the related notes to financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the unaudited interim condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

The following discussion of the Company’s results of operations compares the three months ended March 31, 2007 to the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Casino revenue is derived primarily from patrons wagering on slot machines, table games and other gaming activities. Table games generally include Blackjack or Twenty One, Craps, Baccarat and Roulette. Other gaming activities include the Race and Sports Book and Poker. Casino revenue is defined as the win from gaming activities, computed as the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amounts wagered. “Table game volume,” “table game drop” (terms which are used interchangeably), and “slot handle” are casino industry specific terms that are used to identify the amount wagered by patrons for a casino table game or slot machine, respectively. “Table game hold” and “slot hold” represent the percentage of the total amount wagered by patrons that the casino has won. Hold is derived by dividing the amount won by the casino by the amount wagered by patrons. Casino revenue is recognized at the end of each gaming day.

Casino revenues vary from time to time due to general economic conditions, popularity of entertainment offerings, table game hold, slot hold, and occupancy percentages in the hotels. Casino revenues also vary depending upon the amount of gaming activity as well as variations in the odds for different games of chance. The Hotel also uses technology, such as cashless wagering on slot machines, to increase revenues and/or decrease expenses. Casino revenues, room revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues vary due to general economic conditions and competition.

Room revenue is derived from rooms and suites rented to guests. “Average daily rate” is an industry specific term used to define the average amount of revenue per rented room per day. “Occupancy percentage” defines the total percentage of rooms occupied, and is computed by dividing the number of rooms occupied by the total number of rooms available. Room revenue is recognized at the time the room is provided to the guest.

Food and beverage revenues are derived from food and beverage sales in the food outlets of the Hotel, including restaurants, room service and banquets. Food and beverage revenue is recognized at the time the food and/or beverage is provided to the guest.

Other revenue includes retail sales, entertainment sales, telephone and other miscellaneous income at the Hotel. Such revenue is recognized at the time the goods or services are provided to the guest.

Summary Financial Information

The Hotel offers hotel, gaming, dining, entertainment, retail and spa amenities at one location in Las Vegas and under one operating segment. Approximately 31% of the Hotel’s gross revenue is derived from gaming, while 38% is derived from room revenue. Room revenue is significant because of the Hotel’s location next to the Las Vegas Convention Center and its related emphasis on the group, convention, and trade show business.

The following table summarizes the Hotel’s results of operations (in thousands):

Casino

Casino revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 2%, to $27.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $27.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in casino revenue was primarily due to a decrease in table drop during the period. Certain high worth table game patrons who gambled in the first quarter of 2006 did not return in 2007. Slot win increased by approximately $1.7 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to 2006. The slot win was a result of an increase in hold percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the hold percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Other gaming revenue was flat for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 over the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

The Casino operating department margin was 27.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to an operating department margin of 32.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in operating efficiency was a result of lower revenues and increased total expenses from quarter to quarter.

Rooms

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, room revenue was $32.6 million, an increase of $3.1 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the average daily room rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to the average daily room rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The Room operating department margin increased from 73.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to 75.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in operating efficiency was a result of increased room revenue and stable room expenses.

Food and Beverage

Food and Beverage revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $20.1 million compared to $18.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 representing an increase of $1.4 million or 7.4%. Increased revenue was due to increases in pricing. A relatively stable cost structure combined with price increases improved Food and Beverage operating margins from 26% during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to 31.0% during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Other

Other Revenue includes retail sales, entertainment sales and miscellaneous income. Other Revenue was approximately $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 or $0.7 million less than Other Revenue reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Other Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 included a $0.6 million fee for the cancellation of a convention booking.

Total

   $ 67,449    $ 64,345    5 %
                

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to the early implementation of a statutory minimum wage increase, an increase in advertising and promotional expenses, increased entertainment headliner fees (due to a greater number of performances during the quarter), and an increase in stock option expense (due to the amendment of the 2004 Incentive Plan).

Depreciation and amortization increased from $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to the additional expense associated with renovations completed during 2006.

Interest Expense

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, interest expense totaled $4.7 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, interest expense totaled $5.8 million. The decrease of $1.1 million is due to the refinancing of the Term Loan at a lower interest rate under the new Term Loan. Interest expense is also partially offset by capitalized interest associated with expenditures made on completed 2006 renovation projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 consisted of the following:

Cash Flow—Operating Activities

Cash flow provided by operations was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $4.0 million provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Gross accounts receivable increased by $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Gross accounts receivable decreased by $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had cash and equivalents of $24.9 million of which $7.7 million was cash in the casino used to fund daily operations. For the remainder of 2007, the Company expects to fund property operations, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements from existing cash balances, operating cash flow and new borrowings.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows—Investing Activities

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, $5.6 million of cash was used to fund investing activities primarily related to additions for property and equipment. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, $5.8 million of cash was used for additions to property and equipment partially funded by a $4.6 million reduction in restricted cash.

Cash Flows—Financing Activities

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, $5.1 million of new borrowings under the new Term Loan was used for the purchase of property and equipment.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

While the Company believes that the cash provided by its cash flows from operations together with cash on hand will be adequate to fund its activities, including the capital expenditures that the Company plans to make, no assurances can be made that such sources will be sufficient to meet such requirements. Covenants under the new Term Loan restrict the Company’s future borrowing capacity. However, subject to certain conditions, the new Term Loan does permit the Company to incur additional debt to fund working capital. If circumstances warrant, the Company may seek a working capital line of credit.

A downturn in the economy, increase in revenue or wagering taxes, acts of terrorism, war or military actions would impact the Company’s operations and negatively impact its cash flows from operations. If this were to occur, the Company would be required to adjust its capital spending plans.

Term Loan

   May 2008    $ 230,159    $ 230,159    $ 230,159
                         

On May 11, 2006, the Company entered into a new Term Loan (the “new term loan”). The new Term Loan was for an initial principal amount of $209 million and for an initial term of two (2) years with three, one-year extensions. The Company has drawn an additional $21 million under the new Term Loan. The new Term Loan was subject to a $5.8 million holdback amount for deferred maintenance projects and is subject to future funding to a maximum of $250 million. Interest on the new Term Loan accrues at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 2.9%. The new Term Loan provides for no amortization during the term. The new term loan is secured by a first priority deed of trust on the Property.

Pursuant to the terms of the new Term Loan, the Company purchased an interest rate cap with LIBOR strike rate of 5.75% for the first two years of the new Term Loan and an interest cap with LIBOR strike rate of 6.25% for any extension periods.

Proceeds of the new Term Loan were used to extinguish the June 18, 2004 Archon Loan.

Litigation Contingencies and Available Resources

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various litigation, claims and assessments. The Company is not currently a party to any material litigation and it is not aware of any material action, suit or proceedings against it that has been threatened by any person.

Critical Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of its accounting policies, including the determination of slot club promotion liability, the estimated useful lives assigned to its assets, asset impairment, insurance reserves, and allowance for doubtful accounts require that it apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. The Company’s judgments are based on its historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the gaming industry and information available from other outside sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the Company’s estimates. To provide an understanding of the methodology the Company applies, its significant accounting policies and basis of presentation are discussed below, as well as where appropriate in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the Company’s financial statements.

Slot Club Promotions

The Company’s Slot Club allows customers to redeem points earned from their gaming activity for cash and complimentary food, beverage, rooms, entertainment and merchandise. At the time redeemed, the retail value of complimentaries are recorded as revenue with a corresponding offsetting amount included in promotional allowances. The cost associated with complimentary food, beverage, rooms, entertainment and merchandise redeemed is recorded in casino costs and expenses. The Company also records a liability for the estimated cost of the outstanding points that it believes will ultimately be redeemed.

The Company also participates in a slot club with five affiliated casinos under the auspices of the Joint Marketing Agreement with RIH Resorts LLC. The RIH Resorts slot club allows customers to earn points from their gaming activity at their home property and redeem them for complimentary food, beverage, rooms, entertainment and merchandise at a destination property referred to as “Destiny Dollars”. The RIH Resorts slot club does not permit customers to redeem Destiny Dollars at the property where they are

Table of Contents

earned. The cost associated with complimentary food, beverage, rooms, entertainment and merchandise is recorded as casino costs and expenses by the property redeeming the points during the period in which the points are redeemed.

Self-Insurance Reserve

The Company is self insured up to certain stop loss amounts for workers’ compensation. In estimating this accrual, the Company considers historical loss experience and makes judgments about the expected levels of costs per claim. The Company believes its estimates of future liability are reasonable based upon its methodology; however, changes in accident frequency and severity and other factors could materially affect the estimate for this liability.

Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities

The Company’s new Term Loan requires it to enter into interest rate caps in order to manage interest rate risks associated with this borrowing. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (as amended by SFAS No. 138 and 149) to account for its interest rate cap arrangement.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounting Reserves

The Company’s receivables balances relate primarily to its hotel and casino operations. The Company reserves an estimated amount for receivables that may not be collected. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts by applying standard reserve percentages to aged account balances under a specific dollar amount and specifically analyzing the collectibility of each account with a balance over the specified dollar amount, based on the age of the account, the customer’s financial condition, collection history and any other known information.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, while costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company evaluates its property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. For assets to be disposed of, the Company recognizes the asset to be sold at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less costs of disposal. Fair market value for assets to be disposed of is generally estimated based on comparable asset sales, solicited offers or a discounted cash flow model. For assets to be held and used, the Company reviews fixed assets for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-5, Amendment of FASB Staff Position FAS 123(R)-1, (“FSP FAS 123(R)-5”) to address whether a change to an equity instrument in connection with an equity restructuring should be considered a modification for the purpose of applying FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-1, Classification and Measurement of Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued in Exchange for Employee Services under FAS Statement No. 123(R) (“FSP FAS 123(R)-1”). FSP FAS 123(R)-1 states that financial instruments issued to employees in exchange for past or future services are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R) unless the terms of the award are modified when the holder is no longer an employee. In FSP FAS 123(R)-5, the FASB staff concluded that changes to the terms of an award that are made solely due to an equity restructuring are not considered modifications as described in FSP FAS 123(R)-1 unless the fair value of the award increases, anti-dilution provisions are added, or holders of the same class of equity instruments are treated unequally. FSP FAS 123(R)-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after October 10, 2006. The adoption of FSP FAS 123(R)-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance was issued to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows but currently does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year on or before November 15, 2007, provided the provisions of SFAS 157 are also applied. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but currently does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company’s primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with its variable rate long-term debt. If LIBOR were to increase 100 basis points and there were no additional borrowings, interest expense would increase approximately $2.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2007. The Company attempts to manage its interest rate risk by entering into interest rate cap agreements. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and does not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions. The derivative financial instruments consist exclusively of interest rate cap agreements. Differentials resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expenses.

To manage counterparty credit risk in interest rate cap agreements, the Company only enters into agreements with highly rated institutions that can be expected to perform under terms of such agreements.
