BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Alliance Gaming Corporation ("Alliance" or the "Company") for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K as amended for the year ended June 30, 2000. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2000, were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Cost elements included for work-in-process and finished goods include raw materials, freight, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories, net of reserves, consist of the following:

7 8 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000 The Company's bank debt consists of: (i) term loans with an original principal balance in August 1997 of $140 million, comprised of a $75 million tranche with a 7 1/2-year term (the "Tranche B Term Loan"), a $40 million tranche with an 8-year term (the "Tranche C Term Loan"), and a $25 million tranche with a 7 1/2-year term (the "Delayed Draw Term Facility" and together with the Tranche B Term Loan and the Tranche C Term Loan, the "Term Loan Facilities"); and (ii) an $80 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with a 6-year term. Each of the term loans and credit facility require variable rate borrowings with interest rates which are based on a credit grid. The interest rates which are currently at the highest level of the credit grid and maturity dates are as follows:
Interest Maturity Rates Date ------------- ---------------- Tranche B Term Loan LIBOR + 4.25% January 31, 2005 Tranche C Term Loan LIBOR + 4.50% July 31, 2005 Delayed Draw Term Facility LIBOR + 4.25% January 31, 2005 Revolving Credit Facility LIBOR + 3.75% July 31, 2003
The Revolving Credit Facility also allows for German Deutschemark borrowings at the Euro-deutschemark rate plus 3.75% (or 8.8% at September 30, 2000). At September 30, 2000, borrowings under the $80.0 million Revolving Credit Facility totaled $55.6 million, of which $18.6 million were German Deutschemark borrowings. Based on the terms of the revolving credit facility, the Company would have been able to borrow an additional $2.2 million as of September 30, 2000. The borrowing base for the revolving credit facility includes eligible receivables and inventory (as defined). The bank facility is collateralized by substantially all domestic property and is guaranteed by each domestic subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and German Subsidiaries (both as defined), other than the entity which holds the Company's interest in its Louisiana operations and other non-material subsidiaries (as defined), and secured by both a U.S. and German Pledge Agreement (both as defined). The bank facility contains a number of maintenance covenants and it and the indenture have other significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into certain acquisitions, repurchase equity interests or subordinated indebtedness, issue or sell equity interests of the Company's subsidiaries, engage in mergers or acquisitions, or engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates, and that otherwise restrict corporate activities. The Company is in compliance with the credit agreement debt covenants as of September 30, 2000. The Company is also in compliance with the operational covenants contained in the indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at 10%, are due in 2007, and are general unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Debt (as defined) of the Company, including indebtedness under the bank facility. The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several, senior subordinated basis by all existing and future domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions including the partially-owned entities through which its Mississippi casino and Louisiana route operations are conducted. The Subsidiary Guarantees are general unsecured obligations of the Guarantors, ranking subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Debt of the Guarantors. 8 9 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000 4. INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1999, and 2000, differs from the statutory rate of 35% due to state income taxes and the impact of taxes applicable to earnings of Bally Wulff. In addition, no tax expense has been recorded for the taxable income produced by the Companies' domestic subsidiaries as such earnings were offset against net operating loss carryforwards. 5. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION The following supplemental information is related to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Three months ended September 30, ------------------- 1999 2000 ------- ------ (In 000's) Non-cash transactions: Reclassify other assets to property, plant and equipment $ 93 $2,332 Dividends for Series E Special Stock 442 -- Reclassify inventory to equipment 3,694 -- Translation rate adjustment 1,511 3,880 Conversion of Series E Special Stock into common shares 11,098 --
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) As of July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which requires the changes in the Company's cumulative translation adjustment account (which is a component of stockholders' deficiency) to be included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended September 30, 1999, and 2000, total comprehensive income (loss) amounted to $2.1 million and $(0.9) million respectively. 7. SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN In January 1999 the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan for up to 1.18 million shares of its Common Stock. Under the plan, subject to price and market conditions, purchases of shares are made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had approximately 83,000 shares of common stock in treasury at a cost of $508,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company announced its intention to resume its share repurchase plan. Subsequent to September 30, 2000, and prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company repurchased an additional 104,000 shares at an average price of $4.19. The Company has from time to time used the acquired common stock to satisfy obligations pursuant to the exercise of stock options under the Company's stock option plans. 9 10 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to common shares (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of Diluted EPS is similar to Basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. Stock options and warrants are reflected in Diluted EPS by application of the "Treasury Stock Method" which reduces the dilutive effect by assuming that any proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Series E Special Stock is reflected in Diluted EPS by application of the "If-Converted Method" which assumes full conversion at the beginning of the period. The computation of Basic and Diluted EPS is as follows:
Three months ended September 30, ------------------- 1999 2000 ------- ------- (In 000's except per share data) Net income $ 445 $ 3,365 Wt. average common shares outstanding 10,156 10,252 Dilutive effect of stock options outstanding 15 2 Dilutive effect of Series E Special Stock 225 225 ------- ------- Wt. average common and potential shares outstanding 10,396 10,479 Basic earnings per share $ 0.04 $ 0.33 ======= ======= Diluted earnings per share $ 0.04 $ 0.32 ======= =======
Stock options and warrants outstanding that were potentially convertible into approximately 2.4 million common shares as of September 30, 2000, were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because either (i) the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period or (ii) the contingent issue price was greater that the market price of the common shares at the end of the period. In June 1996, the Company issued 113,160 shares of Series E Special Stock to certain holders of the Company's 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures who, as part of an exchange offer, elected to receive such stock in lieu of receiving common stock. The holders of shares of Series E Special Stock have no voting rights except as required by law. Each share of Series E Special Stock accrued non-cash dividends at an annual rate of 11 1/2%, however the dividend requirement concluded on July 1, 1999. The Series E Special Stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of 4.859 shares of common stock per share of Series E Special Stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, approximately 112,000 shares of Series E Special Stock were converted into approximately 544,000 shares of common stock, and no such conversions have occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2000. Upon full conversion of the remaining shares of Series E Special stock, an additional 224,690 shares of common stock will be issued. 10 11 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000 9.

20 21 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 2000, based on the terms of the amended $80.0 million revolving credit facility, the Company would have been able to borrow $57.8 million under the facility, of which the Company had borrowings of approximately $55.6 million outstanding. As of September 30, 2000, the unborrowed availability on the revolving credit facility was approximately $2.2 million. The borrowing base for the revolving credit facility consists of eligible receivables and inventory, as defined in the credit agreement. At September 30, 2000, the Company had $41.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2000, includes approximately $20.6 million of cash and cash equivalents used in casino and route operations and held in vaults, cages or change banks. The Company is in compliance with the financial and maintenance covenants under both the credit agreement for the Bank Facility, as amended, and the indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes. Consistent with the Company's plan to expand the proprietary gaming operations of its Bally Gaming and Systems business unit, the Company has increased its investment in leased gaming equipment during the three months ended September 30, 2000. The Company will continue the roll out of, and thus increase its investment in, these proprietary games and wide area progressive games in the future. Due in part to the lower level of revenues from Bally Gaming and Systems and increased collections on accounts receivable, the borrowing base for the Company's revolving line of credit had declined by $9.2 million from June 30, 2000, to September 30, 2000. The Company is actively managing its working capital and other assets. The fifth amendment to the bank credit agreement allows the Company to obtain third party financing for up to $15 million for is proprietary gaming operations of Bally Gaming and Systems. This financing may be in the form of traditional secured borrowings or lease type financing. While management believes that cash flow from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents held and the remaining borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility will provide the Company with sufficient capital resources and liquidity for ongoing operating needs, it will continue to actively manage its working capital by continuing its active collections on accounts receivable and managing levels of raw material and finished goods inventories. At September 30, 2000, the Company did not have any significant commitments for capital expenditures. In October 1999, the Company received consents from its bank group to pursue the sale of certain route and casino assets. In August 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement with UC Acquisitions Company, LLC, an independent third-party gaming operator, for the sale of its Nevada-based route operations. The gross selling price, which is based on a multiple of cash flows for the 12 month period prior to closing, is estimated to be approximately $118 million, consisting of $6 million in preferred stock and $112 million in cash, which will be used to pay down certain lease obligations, pay transactional fees and expenses, with the remainder (estimated to be approximately $95 million) to be used to reduce the Term Loans. This transaction is contingent on the buyer obtaining suitable financing and obtaining approvals from various regulatory bodies, a process which the Company expects will be completed before June 2001. 21 22 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 WORKING CAPITAL During the three months ended September 30, 2000, working capital decreased $6.6 million to $109.4 million compared to $116.0 million at June 30, 2000. The primary fluctuations in working capital were an increase in cash and cash equivalents due to cash received from reductions in accounts receivable, increases in finished goods inventories, offset by increases in current liabilities. CASH FLOWS During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company generated $20.3 million of cash flows from operating activities, which included an $11.9 million net decrease in accounts and notes receivable, $5.4 million net increase in inventories and a $3.3 million net increase in accounts payable. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company used $4.2 million of cash in investing activities resulting primarily from approximately $3.9 million in capital expenditures and $0.3 million in additions to other long-term assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, $6.5 million was used in financing activities primarily resulting from reductions in the Company's revolving credit facility of $5.1 million and $1.4 million of scheduled reductions of the Company's term debt. The Bank Facility is collateralized by substantially all domestic property and is guaranteed by each domestic subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and German Subsidiaries (both as defined), other than the entity which holds the Company's interest in its Louisiana operations and other non-material subsidiaries, and is secured by both a U.S. and German Pledge Agreement. The Bank Facility contains a number of maintenance covenants, and it and the Indenture have other significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into certain acquisitions, repurchase equity interests or subordinated indebtedness, issue or sell equity interests of the Company's subsidiaries, engage in mergers or acquisitions, or engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates, and that otherwise restrict corporate activities. CUSTOMER FINANCING Management believes that customer financing terms and leasing have become an increasingly important competitive factor for the Bally Gaming and Systems and Bally Wulff subsidiaries, respectively. Competitive conditions sometimes require the Company to grant extended payment terms on gaming machines, systems and other gaming equipment, especially for sales in emerging markets. While these financings are normally collateralized by such equipment, the resale value of the collateral in the event of default may be less than the amount financed. Accordingly, the Company will have greater exposure to the financial condition of its customers in emerging markets than has historically been the case in established markets like Nevada and Atlantic City. Bally Wulff provides customer financing for approximately 20% of its sales and also provides lease financing to its customers. Lease terms are generally for six months, but are also available for 12 up to 43 month terms. 22 23 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 EURO CURRENCY CONVERSION The Company's Bally Wulff subsidiary uses the German Deutschemark as its functional currency. The new Euro currency will replace the deutschmark as well as most other European currencies after a phase-in period which began January 1, 1999. As most of Bally Wulff's transactions are within Germany, the switch to the Euro is not expected to have a material impact on revenues, expenses or income. The new Euro coins and bills will become the official currency in January 2002. The Company's products can be brought into Euro compliance by moving a switch inside the wall machine, replacing the coin tubes, and modifying the front glass to indicate Euros. Management believes the cost of the implementing the Euro conversion will be borne by the customers. The Company currently has borrowings outstanding on its line of credit facility, a portion of which has a floating rate of interest tied to the Euro deutschmark rate. Upon the full implementation of the Euro, as of January 1, 2002, the interest rate will be tied to this new index. The impact of the change in this index, if any, is not known and cannot be quantified at this time. 23 24 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: GENERAL The following tables set forth the earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and operating income (loss) for the four business units excluding unusual charges, for the following periods:

The Company believes that the analysis of EBITDA is a useful tool; however, this information should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other GAAP measure of performance as an indicator of the Company's performance or GAAP-defined cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or a measure of liquidity. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000 BALLY GAMING AND SYSTEMS For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, Bally Gaming and Systems reported revenues of $33.7 million, a decrease of 15% compared to $39.8 million in the prior year quarter. New unit sales totaled 2,100 units, a 30% decrease compared to 3,000 in the prior year period. This decrease was a result of declining demand for the Company's core products and delays in bringing new products to market. The average new unit selling price remained unchanged from the prior year quarter. Bally Systems reported sales of $9.6 million of revenue compared to $15.2 million in the prior year's record quarter. The current quarter shipments for Bally Gaming included approximately 300 units to the Nevada and Atlantic City markets, 550 to Canada, 770 units to international markets, and 480 units to riverboats, Native American casinos and other domestic markets. Systems reported shipments of 6,000 units, a 63% decrease compared to 16,200 in the prior year period. 24 25 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 The overall gross margin percentage for the current quarter improved to 54% compared to 45% in the prior year quarter. The improvement was due primarily to a change in product mix to higher margin gaming machines and greater revenues from higher margin recurring revenue machines, partially offset by an increase in royalty expenses. At September 30, 2000, the Company's Bally Gaming and Systems business unit had an installed base of approximately 2,700 units earning recurring revenues compared to approximately 1,560 units at September 30, 1999. During the current quarter, Bally Gaming and Systems recorded $7.0 million of revenues from the proprietary gaming operations, and a total of $8.7 million from all recurring revenue sources, up 102% from the prior year quarter. Recurring revenues include revenue received from the operation of the wide-area progressive systems, fees received from the operation of certain proprietary and niche games, and SDS hardware and software maintenance fees. The gaming operations of Bally Gaming and Systems achieved a 64% gross margin compared to 56% in the prior year quarter. Bally Gaming and Systems reported operating income of $5.7 million compared to operating income of $5.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily attributed to an increase in proprietary gaming revenues and the effects of the reduced overhead cost structure of this business unit. WALL MACHINES AND AMUSEMENT GAMES For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Wall Machines and Amusement Games business unit reported revenues of $14.9 million, a 1% increase from the prior year quarter. The slight increase in revenues resulted from a 33% increase in shipments of new wall machines, a 3% increase in amusement game distribution revenues and an 8% increase in leased machine revenues, offset by an 8% decrease in the average selling price of new wall machines. The prior period benefited from the sales of a niche game with higher than traditional margins, sales of which did not occur in the current quarter. The foreign currency fluctuation between the dollar and the Deutschemark decreased revenues by $2.4 million in the current quarter. Gross margin for the quarter, was 44% compared to 32% in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher unit sales volumes which enhanced the absorption of the fixed overhead costs. Wall Machines and Amusement Games reported operating income of $0.5 million compared to an operating loss of $(1.8) million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to the increase in gross margins and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense. ROUTE OPERATIONS For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Route Operations business unit reported revenues of $52.9 million, an increase of 15% compared to revenues of $46.1 million in the prior year quarter. Revenues for the Nevada operations increased 18% as net win per gaming machine per day increased to $65.40 from $58.30 in the prior year quarter, while the average number of gaming machines increased to 8,000 from 7,600 in the prior year quarter resulting primarily from machines added as a result of new locations and taking over the contracts to operate locations previously served by competitors. Revenues for the Louisiana operations decreased 10% due primarily to the proliferation of truck stops in the metropolitan New Orleans area as well as the impact of a land-based casino in New Orleans. Net win per day per gaming machine declined to $70.70 from $77.40 in the prior year quarter, and the average number of gaming devices deployed remained unchanged from the prior year quarter. 25 26 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased slightly to 81%, primarily as a result of additional game rental costs. The Route Operations unit reported operating income of $3.7 million, an increase of 24% compared to operating income of $3.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income resulted primarily from higher revenues and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily increased promotion and marketing costs at the Nevada route operation. CASINO OPERATIONS For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Casino Operations business unit reported revenues of $18.6 million, an increase of 11% compared to revenues of $16.7 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was a result of a 4% increase at the Rail City Casino and a 14% increase at the Rainbow Casino. The revenue improvement at the Rail City Casino to $4.3 million from $4.1 million in the prior year quarter was attributable to an increase in the average gaming machine net win per day of 14% to $80 from $70 in the prior year quarter with approximately the same number of gaming devices on the casino floor. Rainbow Casino revenues increased to $14.3 million from $12.6 in the prior year quarter as a result of an 39% increase in the average number of gaming machines and higher table game revenue, partially offset by a 18% decrease in net win per day per gaming machine to $141 from $175 in the prior year quarter. As a result of the casino expansion, the Rainbow Casino now has 990 gaming machines on the casino floor, compared to 710 in the prior year quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the cost of revenues for Casino Operations, as a percentage of revenues, remained constant at 40% between quarters. The Casino Operations business unit reported operating income of $6.2 million, an improvement of 3% compared to operating income of $6.0 million in the prior year quarter. Rainbow Casino operating income increased 4% to $5.2 million due primarily to the increase in revenues and improved operating margins, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative costs, principally marketing costs. Rail City Casino operating income increased slightly to $1.0 million due primarily to the increase in revenues and improved operating margins, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative costs, primarily gaming machine rental expense. NET INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES Net interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to $8.9 million from $7.7 million in the prior year quarter due to a higher average amount of working capital borrowings in the current quarter and the increased interest rates on the credit facility. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.5 million in the September 30, 2000 quarter compared to $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. The current quarter provision is primarily due to deferred tax charges recorded in Germany. * * * * * 26 27 ALLIANCE GAMING CORPORATION FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 The information contained in this Form 10-Q may contain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbor created thereby.
