The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 5 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (1) Organization, Business and Basis of Presentation GB Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") is a Delaware corporation and was a wholly owned subsidiary of Pratt Casino Corporation ("PCC") through December 31, 1998. PCC, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in September 1993 and was wholly owned by PPI Corporation ("PPI"), a New Jersey corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Greate Bay Casino Corporation ("GBCC"). Effective after December 31, 1998, PCC transferred 21% of the stock ownership in Holdings to PBV, Inc. ("PBV"), a newly formed entity controlled by certain stockholders of GBCC. As a result of a certain confirmed plan of reorganization of PCC and others in October 1999, the remaining 79% stock interest of PCC in Holdings was transferred to Greate Bay Holdings, LLC ("GBLLC"), whose sole member as a result of the same reorganization was PPI. In February 1994, Holdings acquired Greate Bay Hotel and Casino, Inc. ("GBHC"), a New Jersey corporation, through a capital contribution by its then parent. GBHC's principal business activity is its ownership of the Sands Hotel and Casino located in Atlantic City, New Jersey (the "Sands"). GB Property Funding Corp. ("GB Property Funding"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, was incorporated in September 1993 as a special purpose subsidiary of Holdings for the purpose of borrowing funds for the benefit of GBHC. Holdings has no operating activities and its only significant assets are its investment in GBHC and cash and cash equivalents of $38.0 million and $37.9 million as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Effective September 2, 1998, GBHC acquired the membership interests in Lieber Check Cashing LLC ("Lieber"), a New Jersey limited liability company that owned a land parcel adjacent to GBHC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Holdings and its subsidiaries (Holdings, GBHC and GB Property Funding, collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Throughout this document, references to Notes refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein. On January 5, 1998, the Company filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On August 14, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Modified Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code Proposed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and High River Limited Partnership and its Affiliates (the "Plan") for the Company. High River Limited Partnership ("High River") is an entity controlled by Carl C. Icahn. On September 13, 2000, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the "Commission") approved the Plan. On September 29, 2000, the Plan became effective (the "Effective Date"). All material conditions precedent to the Plan becoming effective were satisfied on or before September 29, 2000. A significant amount of the Company's revenues are derived from patrons living in northern New Jersey, southeastern Pennsylvania and metropolitan New York City. Competition in the Atlantic City gaming market is intense and management believes that this competition will continue or intensify in the future. 6 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the Company suggests these financial statements be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements which appear in that report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of a normal recurring nature), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year's consolidated financial statement presentation. (2) Long-Term Debt and Pledge of Assets Long-term debt is comprised of the following: March 31, December 31, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------- 11% notes, due 2005 (a) $ 110,000,000 $ 110,000,000 Other 367,000 371,000 ------------- ------------- Total 110,367,000 110,371,000 Less - current maturities (20,000) (19,000) ------------- ------------- Total long-term debt $ 110,347,000 $ 110,352,000 ============= ============= (a) As a result of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date and under the terms of the Plan, GB Property Funding issued $110,000,000 of 11% notes due 2005 (the "New Notes"). Interest on the New Notes is payable on March 29 and September 29, beginning March 29, 2001. The outstanding principal is due on September 29, 2005. The New Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by both Holdings and GBHC, and are secured by substantially all of the assets, as of the Effective Date, other than cash and gaming receivables of Holdings and GBHC. The original indenture for the New Notes contained various provisions, which, among other things, restricted the ability of Holdings, and GBHC to incur certain senior secured indebtedness beyond certain limitations and contained certain other limitations on the ability to merge, consolidate, or to sell substantially all of their assets, to make certain restricted payments, to incur certain additional senior liens, and to enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions. 7 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) In a Consent Solicitation Statement and Consent Form dated September 14, 2001, GB Property Funding sought the consent of holders of the New Notes to make certain changes to the original indenture (the "Modifications"). The Modifications included, but were not limited to, a deletion of, or changes to, certain provisions the result of which would be (i) to permit Holdings and its subsidiaries to incur any additional indebtedness without restriction, to issue preferred stock without restriction, to make distributions in respect of preferred stock and to prepay indebtedness without restriction, to incur liens without restriction and to enter into sale-leaseback transactions without restriction, (ii) to add additional exclusions to the definition of "asset sales" to exclude from the restrictions on "asset sales" sale-leaseback transactions, conveyances or contributions to any entity in which Holdings or its subsidiaries has or obtains equity or debt interests, and transactions (including the granting of liens) made in accordance with another provision of the Modifications relating to collateral release and subordination or any documents entered into in connection with an "approved project" (a new definition included as part of the Modifications which includes, if approved by the Board of Directors of Holdings, incurrence of indebtedness or the transfer of assets to any person if Holdings or any of its subsidiaries has or obtain debt or equity interests in the transferee or any similar, related or associated event, transaction or activity) in which a release or subordination of collateral has occurred including, without limitation, any sale or other disposition resulting from any default or foreclosure, (iii) to exclude from the operation of covenants related to certain losses to collateral any assets and any proceeds thereof, which have been subject to the release or subordination provisions of the Modifications, (iv) to permit the sale or other conveyances of Casino Reinvestment Development Authority investments in accordance with the terms of a permitted security interest whether or not such sale was made at fair value, (v) to exclude from the operation of covenants related to the deposit into a collateral account of certain proceeds of "asset sales" or losses to collateral any assets and any proceeds thereof, which have been subject to the release or subordination provisions of the Modifications, (vi) to add new provisions authorizing the release or subordination of the collateral securing the New Notes in connection with, in anticipation of, as a result of, or in relation to, an "approved project", and (vii) various provisions conforming the text of the original indenture to the intent of the preceding summary of the Modifications. Holders representing approximately 98% in principal amount of the New Notes provided consents to the Modifications. Under the terms of the original indenture, the consent of holders representing a majority in principal amount of New Notes was a necessary condition to the Modifications. Accordingly, GB Property Funding, as issuer, and Holdings and GBHC, as guarantors, and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Trustee, entered into an Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of October 12, 2001, containing the Modifications to the original indenture described in the Consent Solicitation Statement (the "Amended and Restated Indenture"). In accordance with the terms of the Consent Solicitation Statement, holders of New Notes, who consented to the Modifications and who did not revoke their consents ("Consenting Noteholders"), were entitled to $17.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of New Notes, subject to certain conditions including entry into the Amended and Restated Indenture. Upon entry into the Amended and Restated Indenture on October 12, 2001, the Company transferred approximately $1.9 million to the Trustee for distribution to Consenting Noteholders. 8 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) Scheduled payments of long-term debt as of March 31, 2002, are set forth below: 2002 (nine months) $ 15,000 2003 21,000 2004 23,000 2005 110,026,000 2006 28,000 Thereafter 254,000 ----------------- Total $ 110,367,000 ================= Interest paid amounted to $6,059,000 and $6,068,000 respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, accrued interest on the New Notes was $67,000 and $3,092,000, respectively. (3) Income Taxes The components of the benefit (provision) for income taxes are as follows: Three Months Ending March 31, 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- Federal income tax benefit (provision): Current $(1,260,000) $ 1,591,000 Deferred -- -- State income tax benefit (provision): Current -- -- Deferred -- -- ----------- ----------- $(1,260,000) $ 1,591,000 =========== =========== Prior to 1997, the Company was included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Hollywood Casino Corporation ("HCC"). The Company's operations were included in GBCC's consolidated federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, but GBCC agreed to allow the Company to become deconsolidated from the GBCC group effective after December 31, 1998. In accordance therewith, PCC transferred 21% of the stock ownership in Holdings to PBV, effecting the deconsolidation of the Company from the GBCC group for federal income tax purposes (the "Deconsolidation"). Accordingly, beginning in 1999, the Company's provision for federal income taxes has been calculated and paid on a consolidated basis. 9 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) At March 31, 2002, the Company had deferred tax assets including State net operating losses, Federal credit carryforwards and temporary differences. The State net operating losses ("State NOL's") begin to expire in the year 2003 for state tax purposes. A portion of the credit carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire each year through 2004. The remaining credit carryforwards expire through the year 2019. In addition, as part of a certain settlement agreement, GBCC may utilize Federal net operating losses ("Federal NOL's") of the Company through December 31, 1998 to offset federal taxable income of GBCC and other members of its consolidated tax group. The Company has utilized the balance of its Federal NOL's in its 1999 (amended) and 2000 consolidated Federal tax returns. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109") requires that the tax benefit of NOL's and deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences be recorded as an asset and, to the extent that management can not assess that the utilization of all or a portion of such NOL's and deferred tax assets is more likely than not, requires the recording of a valuation allowance. Due to various uncertainties, management is unable to determine that realization of the Company's deferred tax asset is more likely than not and, thus, has provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount at March 31, 2002. The Internal Revenue Service is examining the consolidated federal income tax returns of HCC for the years 1995 and 1996 and the consolidated federal income tax returns for GBCC for the years 1997 and 1998 in which the Company was included (the "Audit"). GBCC management has disclosed in its annual SEC Form 10-K, filed for the year ended December 31, 2001, that the Audit is substantially complete and has resulted in adjustments to GBCC's Federal NOL's and deferred tax assets. The Company is dependent upon receipt of information from HCC and GBCC as to their operations including their affiliates and the impact of those operations on the former HCC and GBCC consolidated groups' Federal NOL's. The Company has not yet received information regarding the details of the Audit adjustments and, therefore, is unable to estimate their impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The State of New Jersey is examining the state corporate business tax return of GBHC for the years 1996, 1997 and 1998. It is management's position that any claims by the State of New Jersey against GBHC attributable to anytime prior to January 5, 1998 is barred by applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Management is presently unable to estimate the impact of New Jersey's tax audit on the financial position or results of operations of GBHC. Federal and State income tax benefits or provisions are based upon the results of operations for the current period and the estimated adjustments for income tax purposes of certain nondeductible expenses. The Federal income tax provision of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 is a result of applying the statutory Federal income tax rate of 35% to the pretax income after adjustments for income tax purposes. 10 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) (4) Transactions with Related Parties GBHC's rights to the trade name "Sands" (the "Trade Name") were derived from a license agreement between GBCC and an unaffiliated third party. Amounts payable by the Sands for these rights were equal to the amounts paid to the unaffiliated third party. As a result of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date and under the terms of the Plan, GBHC was assigned by High River the rights under a certain agreement with the owner of the Trade Name to use the Trade Name as of the Effective Date. High River received no payments for its assignment of these rights. Payment is made directly to the owner of the Trade Name. The calculation of the license fee is the same as under the previous agreement. Such charges amounted to $68,000 and $60,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. Excluding the New Notes, there were no affiliate advances and borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. There was no interest expense incurred with respect to affiliate advances and borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. (5) Legal Proceedings The Company has filed tax appeals with the New Jersey Tax Court challenging the amount of its real property assessment for calendar years 1996 through 2001, inclusive, and has filed an appeal for calendar year 2002 with the Atlantic County Tax Board. The City of Atlantic City has also appealed the amount of the assessments for the years 1996 through 2001, inclusive, and has filed a cross-petition with the Atlantic County Tax Board for calendar year 2002. The Company has discovered certain failures relating to currency transaction reporting and self-reported the situation to the applicable regulatory agencies. The Company has conducted an internal examination of the matter and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement is conducting a separate review. The Company has revised internal control processes and taken other measures to address the situation. The Company may be subjected to regulatory remedies, which may include cash penalties. However, the potential cash penalties cannot be estimated at this time. The Company is a party in various legal proceedings with respect to the conduct of casino and hotel operations. Although a possible range of losses cannot be estimated, in the opinion of management, based upon the advice of counsel, the Company does not expect settlement or resolution of these proceedings to have a material adverse impact upon the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company, but the outcome of litigation is subject to uncertainties and no assurances can be given. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above. 11 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) (6) Income (Loss) Per Share Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128: "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128), requires, among other things, the disclosure of basic earnings per share for public companies. Since the capital structure of the Company is simple, in that no potentially dilutive securities were outstanding during the periods presented, only basic income (loss) per share disclosure is required. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. (7) Supplemental Cash Flow Information Cash paid for interest and income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are set forth below: Three Months Ended March 31, -------------------------------- 2002 2001 ------------- -------------- Interest paid $ 6,059,000 $ 6,068,000 ============= ============== Income taxes paid $ -- $ -- ============= ============== (8) New Accounting Pronouncement In January 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on certain issues within Issue No. 00-22: "Accounting for `Points' and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future" (EITF 00-22). Application of EITF 00-22 is required for interim and annual periods ending after February 15, 2001. EITF 00-22 requires volume-based cash rebates to be classified as a reduction of revenue. Accordingly, such rebates have been classified as promotional allowances. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statements Nos. 141 and 142 (FAS 141 and FAS 142): "Business Combinations" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," respectively. FAS 141 replaces APB 16 and eliminates pooling-of-interests accounting prospectively. It also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets and accounting for negative goodwill. FAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Under FAS 142, goodwill will be tested annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. FAS 141 and FAS 142 are effective for all business combinations completed after September 30, 2001. Upon adoption of FAS 142, amortization of goodwill recorded for business combinations consummated prior to July 1, 2001 will cease, and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 that do not meet the criteria for recognition under FAS 141 will be reclassified to goodwill. Companies are required to adopt FAS 142 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, but early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe these standards will have any impact on its results of operations or financial position. 12 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, which addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management is currently assessing the impact of this new standard. In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provides a single accounting model for impairment of long-lived assets. Management does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. In November 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 01-09: "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer" (Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products) ("EITF 01-09"). For a sales incentive offered voluntarily by a vendor to its patrons, EITF 01-09 requires the vendor to recognize the cost of the sales incentive at the later of the date at which the related revenue is recorded by the vendor, or the date at which the sales incentive is offered. Application of EITF 01-09 is required in annual or interim financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2001. Management does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. 13 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company. The actual results could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties are beyond management's ability to control and, in many cases, cannot be predicted by management. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "expects", "intends" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements (see "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act" below). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On January 5, 1998, the Company filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. On August 14, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan for the Company. On September 13, 2000, the Commission approved the Plan. On September 29, 2000, the Plan became effective (the "Effective Date"). All material conditions precedent to the Plan becoming effective were satisfied on or before September 29, 2000. On the Effective Date, GB Property Funding's existing debt securities, consisting of its 10 7/8% First Mortgage Notes due January 15, 2004 (the "Old Notes") and all of Holdings' issued and outstanding shares of common stock owned by PBV and GBLLC (the "Old Common Stock") were cancelled. As of the Effective Date, an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of new common stock of Holdings (the "Common Stock") were issued and outstanding, and $110,000,000 of 11% First Mortgage Notes due 2005 were issued (the "Notes"). Holders of the Old Notes received a distribution of their pro rata shares of (i) the Notes and (ii) 5,375,000 shares of the Common Stock (the "Stock Distribution"). In a Consent Solicitation Statement and Consent Form dated September 14, 2001, GB Property Funding sought the consent of holders of the New Notes to make certain changes to the original indenture (the "Modifications"). The Modifications included, but were not limited to, a deletion of, or changes to, certain provisions the result of which would be (i) to permit Holdings and its subsidiaries to incur any additional indebtedness without restriction, to issue preferred stock without restriction, to make distributions in respect of preferred stock and to prepay indebtedness without restriction, to incur liens without restriction and to enter into sale-leaseback transactions without restriction, (ii) to add additional exclusions to the definition of "asset sales" to exclude from the restrictions on "asset sales" sale-leaseback transactions, conveyances or contributions to any entity in which Holdings or its subsidiaries has or obtains equity or debt interests, and transactions (including the granting of liens) made in accordance with another provision of the Modifications relating to collateral release and subordination or any documents entered into in connection with an "approved project" (a new definition included as part of the Modifications which includes, if approved by the Board of Directors of Holdings, incurrence of indebtedness or the transfer of assets to any person if Holdings or any of its subsidiaries has or obtain debt or equity interests in the transferee or any similar, related or associated event, transaction or activity) in which a release or subordination of collateral has occurred including, without limitation, any sale or other disposition resulting from any default or foreclosure, (iii) to exclude from the operation of covenants related to certain losses to collateral any assets and any proceeds thereof, which have been subject to the release or subordination provisions of the Modifications, (iv) to permit the sale or other conveyances of Casino Reinvestment Development Authority investments in accordance with the terms of a permitted security interest whether or not such sale was made at fair value, (v) to exclude from the operation of covenants related to the deposit into a collateral account of certain proceeds of "asset sales" or losses to collateral any assets and any proceeds thereof, which have been subject to the release or subordination provisions of the Modifications, (vi) to add new provisions authorizing the release or subordination of the collateral securing the New Notes in connection with, in anticipation of, as a result of, or in relation to, an "approved project", and (vii) various provisions conforming the text of the original indenture to the intent of the preceding summary of the Modifications. 14 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Holders representing approximately 98% in principal amount of the New Notes provided consents to the Modifications. Under the terms of the original indenture, the consent of holders representing a majority in principal amount of New Notes was a necessary condition to the Modifications. Accordingly, GB Property Funding, as issuer, and Holdings and GBHC, as guarantors, and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Trustee, entered into an Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of October 12, 2001, containing the Modifications to the original indenture described in the Consent Solicitation Statement (the "Amended and Restated Indenture"). In accordance with the terms of the Consent Solicitation Statement, holders of New Notes, who consented to the Modifications and who did not revoke their consents ("Consenting Noteholders"), were entitled to $17.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of New Notes, subject to certain conditions including entry into the Amended and Restated Indenture. Upon entry into the Amended and Restated Indenture on October 12, 2001, the Company transferred approximately $1.9 million to the Trustee for distribution to Consenting Noteholders. Operating Activities At March 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $58.6 million. The Company generated $3.8 million of net cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to using net cash of $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company utilized internal funds for capital additions of $1.9 million and to make obligatory investments of $670,000. Financing Activities The Sands entered into a long-term lease of the Madison House Hotel (the "Madison House"). The initial lease period is from December 2000 to December 2012 with lease payments ranging from $1.8 million per year to $2.2 million per year. The Madison House is physically connected at two floors to the existing Sands casino-hotel complex and is presently undergoing renovations to upgrade and combine the rooms into a total of 113 suites and 13 single rooms. To date, 89 of the suites and 12 of the single rooms have been completed. It is the intention of the Sands to maintain and operate the Madison House in the same quality as the Sands, making those rooms available to Sands casino customers and the general public. Total scheduled maturities of long term debt during the remainder of 2002 is $15,000. 15 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Investing Activities Capital expenditures at the Sands for the three months ended March 31, 2002 amounted to approximately $1.9 million. In order to enhance its competitive position in the market place, the Sands may determine to incur additional substantial costs and expenses to maintain, improve and expand its facilities and operations. The Company may require additional financing in connection with those activities. In 2000, GBHC also entered into an agreement with the entities controlling the Claridge, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, to acquire the Claridge Administration Building ("CAB"), which was situated between GBHC's existing main entrance and the new Pacific Avenue entrance completed in June 2000. The purchase price was $3.5 million, consisting of $1.5 million in cash at closing with the remaining $2.0 million consideration tendered through the elimination for 40 months of a $50,000 monthly license fee paid by the Claridge to GBHC under an agreement between the Claridge and GBHC governing the development and operation of the "People Mover" leading from the Boardwalk to the Sands and Claridge (the "PM Agreement"). GBHC and the Claridge also obtained Bankruptcy Court approval of the assumption of the PM Agreement, as modified above, and by the reduction of the monthly license fee to $20,000 a month after the 40 months elimination of the license fee. In April 2000, closing took place on the CAB and the existing structure was subsequently demolished. The Sands is required by the Casino Act to make certain quarterly deposits based on gross revenue with the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority ("CRDA") in lieu of a certain investment alternative tax. Deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2002 totaled $670,000. The Sands has agreed to contribute certain of its future investment obligations to the CRDA in connection with the renovation related to the Atlantic City Boardwalk Convention Center. The projected total contribution will amount to $7.0 million, which will be paid through 2011 based on an estimate of certain of the Sands' future CRDA deposit obligations. Summary Management believes that cash flows generated from operations during 2002, as well as available cash reserves, will be sufficient to meet its operating plan and provide for scheduled capital expenditures. 16 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Gaming Operations Information contained herein, regarding Atlantic City casinos other than the Sands, was obtained from reports filed with the Commission. The following table sets forth certain unaudited financial and operating data relating to the Sands' and all other Atlantic City casinos' capacities, volume of play, hold percentages and revenues:

---------------- (1) Gross wagering consists of the total value of chips purchased for table games (excluding poker) and keno wagering (the "Drop") and coins wagered in slot machines (the "Handle"). (2) Casino revenues consist of the portion of gross wagering that a casino retains and, as a percentage of gross wagering, is referred to as the "hold percentage." The Sands' hold percentages and revenues are reflected on an accrual basis. Comparable accrual basis data for the remainder of the Atlantic City gaming industry as a whole is not available; consequently, industry hold percentages and revenues are based on information available from the Commission and are possibly higher than if computed on the accrual basis. 17 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) (3) Consists of revenues from poker and simulcast horse racing wagering. Comparable information for the remainder of the Atlantic City gaming industry is not available. Patron Gaming Volume Information contained herein, regarding Atlantic City casinos other than the Sands, was obtained from reports filed with the Commission. Table game drop decreased by $15.7 million (14.2%) during the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared with the same period of 2001. By comparison, according to Casino Commission reports, table game drop at all other Atlantic City casinos during the same period reflected a decrease of 1.7%. As a result, the Sands table game market share (expressed as a percentage of the Atlantic City gaming industry (the "industry") aggregate table game drop) decreased to 5.6%. The decrease in table game drop is attributable to among other things: (i) the overall trend in table game business throughout the industry, (ii) the result of the Company's decision in the prior period to offer promotional odds thereby causing increased table game drop with less than profitable results and (iii) the Company's decision during the current period to eliminate table game programs that had become less profitable. Table game hold percentage increased 0.9 percentage points to 15.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same period last year. Between the first quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, the number of table games increased 2.5% at the Sands, compared with a decrease of 3.1% at all other Atlantic City casinos. The Sands plans to reduce its number of table games significantly during the second quarter 2002. Aggregate gaming space at all other Atlantic City casinos increased by approximately 34,000 square feet at March 31, 2002 compared to 2001. The amount of gaming space at the Sands increased approximately 1,000 square feet between periods. Slot machine handle increased $39.3 million (7.2%) during the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared with the same period of 2001. By comparison, the percentage increase in slot machine handle for all other Atlantic City casinos in the first quarter of 2002 vs. the same period in 2001 was 5.8%. As a result, the Sands' market share of slot machine handle as a percentage of total industry slot handle increased to 6.1%, despite operating just 5.5% of the slot machines in the Atlantic City market. The increased Sands slot handle during 2002 is primarily attributable to an increased volume of play from both rated and unrated players as a result of an overall lower hold percentage. The number of slot machines increased 2.5% at the Sands. On an industry-wide basis, the number of slot machines increased 2.7% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001. As part of the Sands capital expenditure program, new and more popular slot machines continue to be purchased. The Sands plans to add approximately 400 new slot machines in the third quarter of this year on existing casino floor space currently occupied by table games. 18 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The following table sets forth the changes in operating revenues and expenses (unaudited) for the three- month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001:
Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) 2002 2001 $ % -------- -------- -------- ------- (Dollars In Thousands) Revenues: Casino $ 55,670 $ 53,666 $ 2,004 3.73 Rooms 2,746 2,554 192 7.52 Food and Beverage 6,465 6,741 (276) (4.09) Other 928 905 23 2.54 Promotional Allowances 8,835 10,231 (1,396) (13.64) Expenses: Casino 40,459 45,460 (5,001) (11.00) Rooms 1,105 1,171 (66) (5.64) Food and Beverage 2,489 2,008 481 23.95 Other 733 641 92 14.35 General and Administrative 2,912 3,905 (993) (25.43) Depreciation and Amortization 3,243 2,964 279 9.41 Income/(loss) from Operations 5,943 (2,514) 8,457 336.40 Non-operating items, net 2,425 2,133 292 13.69 Income Tax (Provision) Benefit (1,260) 1,591 (2,851) (179.20)
Revenues Overall casino revenues increased $2.0 million primarily due to increased handle (7.2%) on slots. The slot revenue increase was partially offset by a decrease in table revenues primarily due to a 14.2% decrease in table drop. Rooms revenue increased $192,000 as a result of a combination of increased occupancy and an increase in the average daily room rate. Food and beverage revenues decreased $276,000 due to a decrease in complimentary food and beverage sales. Other revenues increased $23,000 as a result of an increase in Other Income due to an increase in entertainment revenue offset slightly by a decrease in merchandise sales. 19 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Promotional Allowances Promotional allowances are comprised of (i) the estimated retail value of goods and services provided free of charge to casino customers under various marketing programs and (ii) the cash value of redeemable points earned under a customer loyalty program based on the amount of slot play. As a percentage of casino revenues, promotional allowances decreased to 15.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2002 from 19.1% during the same period of 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the elimination of marketing programs and other promotional activities that were deemed unprofitable and a continued focus on, and development of, the segments of play that created more volume with less expense. Departmental Expenses Casino expenses at the Sands decreased by $4.9 million as a result of the decrease in costs associated with the allocation of complimentaries described under Promotional Allowances. Casino expenses also decreased due to the reduction in bus coin incentives. Casino payroll expenses decreased due to more focus on the table game costs related to a lower drop compared to the prior period. The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts expense was caused by a reduction in credit issuance due to lower table game activity. There was no television advertising expense in the first quarter 2002 while there were such expenses in the same prior year period. The rooms expense decrease of $66,000 was due to a decrease in housekeeping supplies expense and amenity package costs. Food and beverage expenses increased $481,000 due to a smaller share of costs allocated to casino expense as a result of a decrease in casino complimentaries. Increases in payroll, benefits and operating supplies were slightly offset by decreases in food and beverage cost of sales. Other expenses increased $92,000 as a result of a smaller share of costs allocated to casino expense as a result of a decrease in casino complimentaries offset by a decrease in payroll and benefits. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million due to costs incurred during 2001 associated with the attempted acquisition of the Claridge Hotel Casino and the cost of a severance package related to an internal reorganization. Also, decreases in gas, utilities and insurance costs contributed to the variance. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense increased $279,000 as a result of the increased investment in infrastructure and equipment. 20 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Interest Income and Expense Interest income decreased by $701,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease was due to lower interest rates and lower average balances of cash reserves in 2002 compared to 2001. Interest expense decreased $399,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is due to the capitalization of interest expense in 2002. Income Tax Benefit (Provision) Prior to 1997, the Company was included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Hollywood Casino Corporation ("HCC"). The Company's operations were included in GBCC's consolidated federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, but GBCC agreed to allow the Company to become deconsolidated from the GBCC group effective after December 31, 1998. In accordance therewith, PCC transferred 21% of the stock ownership in Holdings to PBV, effecting the deconsolidation of the Company from the GBCC group for federal income tax purposes (the "Deconsolidation"). Accordingly, beginning in 1999, the Company's provision for federal income taxes has been calculated and paid on a consolidated basis. At March 31, 2002, the Company had deferred tax assets including State net operating losses, Federal credit carryforwards and temporary differences. The State net operating losses ("State NOL's") begin to expire in the year 2003 for state tax purposes. A portion of the credit carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire each year through 2004. The remaining credit carryforwards expire through the year 2019. In addition, as part of a certain settlement agreement, GBCC may utilize Federal net operating losses ("Federal NOL's") of the Company through December 31, 1998 to offset federal taxable income of GBCC and other members of its consolidated tax group. The Company has utilized the balance of its Federal NOL's in its 1999 (amended) and 2000 consolidated Federal tax returns. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109") requires that the tax benefit of NOL's and deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences be recorded as an asset and, to the extent that management can not assess that the utilization of all or a portion of such NOL's and deferred tax assets is more likely than not, requires the recording of a valuation allowance. Due to various uncertainties, management is unable to determine that realization of the Company's deferred tax asset is more likely than not and, thus, has provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount at March 31, 2002. The Internal Revenue Service is examining the consolidated federal income tax returns of HCC for the years 1995 and 1996 and the consolidated federal income tax returns for GBCC for the years 1997 and 1998 in which the Company was included (the "Audit"). As a result of such Audit, GBCC management has disclosed in its annual SEC Form 10-K, filed for the year ended December 31, 2001, that the Audit is substantially complete and has resulted in adjustments to GBCC's Federal NOL's and deferred tax assets. The Company is dependent upon receipt of information from HCC and GBCC as to their operations including their affiliates and the impact of those operations on the former HCC and GBCC consolidated groups' Federal NOL's. The Company has not yet received information regarding the details of the Audit adjustments and, therefore, is unable to estimate their impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 21 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The State of New Jersey is examining the state corporate business tax return of GBHC for the years 1996, 1997 and 1998. It is management's position that any claims by the State of New Jersey against GBHC attributable to anytime prior to January 5, 1998 is barred by applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Management is presently unable to estimate the impact of New Jersey's tax audit on the financial position or results of operations of GBHC. Federal and State income tax benefits or provisions are based upon the results of operations for the current period and the estimated adjustments for income tax purposes of certain nondeductible expenses. The Federal income tax provision of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 is a result of applying the statutory Federal income tax rate of 35% to the pretax income after adjustments for income tax purposes. Inflation Management believes that in the near term, modest inflation, together with increasing competition within the gaming industry for qualified and experienced personnel, will continue to cause increases in operating expenses, particularly labor and employee benefits costs. Seasonality Historically, the Sands' operations have been highly seasonal in nature, with the peak activity occurring from May to September. Consequently, the results of operations for the first and fourth quarters are traditionally less profitable than the other quarters of the fiscal year. In addition, the Sands' operations may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, including chance. Such seasonality and fluctuations may materially affect casino revenues and profitability. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Form 10-Q and other materials filed or to be filed by Holdings, GB Property Funding or GBHC with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made by such companies) contains statements that are forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future expansion, future construction costs and other business development activities as well as other capital spending, economic conditions, financing sources, competition and the effects of tax regulation and state regulations applicable to the gaming industry in general or Holdings, GB Property Funding and GBHC in particular. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Holdings, GB Property Funding or GBHC. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to development and construction activities, dependence on existing management, leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates), domestic or global economic conditions, activities of competitors and the presence of new or additional competition, fluctuations and changes in customer preference and attitudes, changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws and changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in certain jurisdictions). 22 GB HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not have securities subject to interest rate fluctuations and has not invested in derivative-based financial instruments. 23 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.(a) Exhibits Item 6.(b) Reports on Form 8-K The registrants did not file any reports on form 8-K for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
