Our report dated March 11, 2005 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that GB Holdings has suffered recurring net losses, has a net working capital deficiency and has significant debt obligations which are due within one year that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. /s/ KPMG LLP Short Hills, New Jersey April 17, 2006
