1.             Basis of Presentation and Background

The accompanying are the condensed consolidated financial statements of Virgin River Casino Corporation, which includes the accounts of RBG, LLC (doing business as CasaBlanca Resort/Casino/Golf/Spa) and its wholly owned subsidiary Casablanca Resorts, LLC (doing business as Oasis Resort & Casino) (collectively the “Company”). Virgin River Casino Corporation (“VRCC”) owns 88.8% of RBG, LLC (“RBG”) and Casablanca Resorts, LLC (“Resorts LLC”). Robert R. Black, Sr. (“Mr. Black”) is the sole shareholder of VRCC and owns 9.28% of RBG individually and through another entity.  Mr. Black also is the sole shareholder of B & B B, Inc. (doing business as Virgin River Hotel/Casino/Bingo) (“B&BB”). The Company and B&BB are collectively referred to as the “Companies.” The Companies are operated under common management.  Significant intercompany items and transactions of the Company have been eliminated.

Interim Financial Statements — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2006 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for such periods, have been included.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006, or for any other period.

Reclassifications — Certain previously reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

As a result of the third party business valuation that was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company has re-evaluated the useful lives of their slot machines (included in furniture, fixture and equipment above) and effective January 1, 2006, changed that estimate from seven years to five years.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, operating income of the Company decreased approximately $204,000 and $544,000, respectively, as a result of the change in the estimated lives.

Notes generated from the sale of vacation intervals generally bear interest at annual rates ranging from 12.75% to 14.75% and have terms of 5 to 7 years. The vacation interval notes receivable are collateralized by the right to use and deeds of trust on the vacation interval sold.

In January of 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” SFAS 152 amends existing accounting guidance to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions provided in AICPA Statement of Position 04-02, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” In determining the allowance for possible credit losses, the Company, in accordance with SFAS 152, uses a technique referred to as static pool analysis, which tracks uncollectible notes receivable based on each year’s sales over the entire life of those notes.  The Company considers whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions.  If current economic conditions differ from the economic conditions in effect when the historical experience was generated, the Company adjusts the allowance for possible credit losses to reflect the expected effects of current economic conditions on uncollectibility.  The Company groups all notes receivables in one pool for analytical purposes based on historical collectibility and customer demographics.  As a result of the change in accounting for the allowance for possible credit losses, the Company has recorded in the accompanying statement of operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $196,000 to increase the allowance for possible credit losses.

Foothill Facility

The Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. credit facility (“Foothill Facility”) is secured by substantially all the assets of the Companies. During the life of the Foothill Facility, the Companies may borrow up to the lesser of (1) $15.0 million less the Letter of Credit Usage, as defined, less the Bank Product Reserve, as defined, or (2) the Borrowing Base, as defined, less the Letter of Credit Usage.  At September 30, 2006, no amounts were drawn under the Foothill Facility.  Accordingly, the availability under the Foothill Facility at September 30, 2006 was $15.0 million.

Under the terms of the Foothill Facility, interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance at LIBOR plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, which is 3.5%, or the Base Rate, as defined, plus the Base Rate Margin, which is 2%.  LIBOR was approximately 5.32% at September 30, 2006.  The Foothill Facility also contains certain financial and other covenants.  These include a minimum trailing twelve-month Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of $15,000,000 for the Companies and limitations on other indebtedness and capital expenditures, as defined.  The Companies were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.  The outstanding balance on the Foothill Facility is a joint and several obligation of the Companies.

Senior Secured and Senior Subordinated Notes

In December 2004, as part of an ownership buyout (the “Buyout”), VRCC, RBG and B&BB (the “Issuers”) issued $125.0 million of 9% senior secured notes (“Senior Notes”) due on January 15, 2012 and $39.9 million in gross proceeds of 12¾% senior subordinated notes (“Senior Sub Notes”) due January 15, 2013 (collectively the “Notes”).  The Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers and all current and future subsidiaries of the Issuers.  Although the Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers, the allocation of the balance of the Notes to the individual balance sheets of B&BB, VRCC and RBG was according to the flow of funds at the date of the Buyout with the proceeds of the Senior Notes necessary to purchase the interests of B&BB recorded on the balance sheet of B&BB and the remaining proceeds of the Senior Notes and Senior Sub Notes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of VRCC.  The

At September 30, 2006, the net amount of the Notes recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet was $154.1 million. The Senior Notes pay interest semiannually while the Senior Sub Notes accrue interest in the form of increased accreted value until January 15, 2009, when the carrying book value of the Senior Sub Notes will be $66.0 million.  At that point the Senior Sub Notes will pay interest semiannually on the same dates as the Senior Notes.

The indentures (the “Indentures”) governing the Issuers’ Notes contain certain customary financial and other covenants, which limit the Issuers’ ability to incur additional debt.  The Indentures provide that the Issuers may not incur additional indebtedness, other than specified types of indebtedness, unless the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, as defined, on a pro-forma basis after the incurrence of the additional indebtedness is at least 2.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2006, the Issuers have incurred $0 of additional indebtedness as defined.

The Indentures also contain other covenants which limit the ability of the Issuers and Guarantors, as defined, under the Indentures to pay dividends, redeem stock, or make other distributions, make investments, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, utilize proceeds from asset sales, transfer or sell assets, issue or sell equity interests of subsidiaries and enter into certain mergers and consolidations, as defined in the Indentures.  There are no restrictions related to the transfer of funds between the Issuers, Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries.  The Issuers were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

The Senior Notes are secured by substantially all existing and future assets of the Issuers and the Guarantors, as defined, as well as the equity interest of the Guarantors, the equity interests of Mr. Black and his affiliate in the Issuers.  The Guarantors are all the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Issuers.

The Senior Notes are subordinated to the security interests of the Foothill Facility.  The Senior Sub Notes are subordinate to the Senior Notes and all other indebtedness of the Companies.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Companies interest rate swaps terminated effective June 30, 2006.

7.             Commitments and Contingencies

In January 2006, Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC entered into an agreement with Global Exchange Development Corp. to sell substantially all of the unsold time share intervals at the Oasis Hotel and Casino.  The sale is expected to close in three separate closings each involving approximately one-third of the unsold time share intervals at the Oasis Hotel and Casino. Each close is expected to occur within 6 months of the preceding close.    The first closing occurred in January 2006 for $280,000.  As part of the close, Global Exchange Development Corp. executed a note payable to Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC in the amount of $224,000 due January 2007 at an interest rate of 4.38%.  The note was fully paid in April of 2006.  The second closing occurred in June 2006 for $288,000 in cash.

8.             Subsequent Events

As part of the acquisition of the Oasis Hotel and Casino in July 2001, WSR, Inc, (“WSR”) the former owners of the property, retained rights that enabled them to have certain land owned by the Oasis Hotel and Casino in Arizona re-conveyed to them if any of the following events were to occur: 1) WSR is able to purchase the land, currently leased to the Oasis Hotel and Casino, from the State of Arizona and sell the portion of the land used in the operation of the Palms Golf Course back to the Oasis Hotel and Casino; or 2) The Oasis Hotel and Casino is not able to renegotiate a long-term extension to the current lease with the State of Arizona that expires in April 2008 and is required to develop existing land to replace the leased land for the golf course operation.  In August 2006, the Companies purchased those rights for approximately $1.1 million which are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In conjunction with the purchase of those rights, in October 2006, the Companies began efforts to market and sell the 350 acres of land the Companies own in Arizona.  The Companies are utilizing a Las Vegas real estate firm, Diversified Interests, which is owned 100% by Mr. Black, to market the property.  The Companies currently expect to sell the land within the next year.  As a result of the Companies’ decision, at September 30, 2006, the Companies had approximately $325,000 in current assets, $258,000 in current liabilities and $8.9 million in non-current assets that subsequent to September 30, 2006, upon meeting all requirements of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, will be recorded as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In October 2006, the Companies adopted the Black Gaming Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”).  LTIP is a long-term formula based compensation plan utilizing EBITDA, as defined, Long-term Debt, as defined, cash and a fixed multiple to compensate senior executives for increasing the operating performance and financial condition of the Companies in the event the executive remains with the Companies.  Future compensation, commencing in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2006, recognized in accordance with LTIP will be accounted for using the intrinsic value method allowed for nonpublic entities as defined and prescribed by SFAS 123(R) “Share Based Payment”.

The Companies have commenced action to reorganize (the “Proposed Reorganization”) the entities, Virgin River Casino Corporation, RBG, LLC, and B & B B, Inc. under a single holding company, Black Gaming, LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company (“Black Gaming”). The Companies are currently seeking the necessary approvals and licenses from appropriate parties, including but not limited to appropriate gaming authorities. While the Companies hope the Proposed Reorganization will be effective prior to January 1, 2007, no assurance can be given that the Proposed Reorganization will be effective by that date, if ever. As currently proposed, when the Proposed Reorganization is completed, Black Gaming will guarantee payment of the Companies’ 9% senior secured notes and 12 3/4% senior subordinated notes.

4.             Notes Receivable (cont’d)

In January of 2006, RBG adopted the provisions of SFAS 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” SFAS 152 amends existing accounting guidance to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions provided in AICPA Statement of Position 04-02, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” In accordance with SFAS 152, RBG now uses a technique referred to as static pool analysis, which tracks uncollectible notes receivable based on each year’s sales over the entire life of those notes.  RBG considers whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions.  If current economic conditions differ from the economic conditions in effect when the historical experience was generated, RBG adjusts the allowance for possible credit losses to reflect the expected effects of current economic conditions on uncollectibility.  RBG groups all notes receivables in one pool for analytical purposes based on historical collectibility and customer demographics.  As a result of the change in accounting for the allowance for possible credit losses, RBG has recorded in the accompanying statement of operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $196,000 to increase the allowance for possible credit losses.

Foothill Facility

The Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. credit facility (“Foothill Facility”) is secured by substantially all the assets of the Companies. During the life of the Foothill Facility, the Companies may borrow up to the lesser of (1) $15.0 million less the Letter of Credit Usage, as defined, less the Bank Product Reserve, as defined, or (2) the Borrowing Base, as defined, less the Letter of Credit Usage.  At September 30, 2006, no amounts were drawn under the Foothill Facility.  Accordingly, the availability under the Foothill Facility at September 30, 2006 was $15.0 million.

Under the terms of the Foothill Facility, interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance at LIBOR plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, which is 3.5%, or the Base Rate, as defined, plus the Base Rate Margin, which is 2%.  LIBOR was approximately 5.32% at September 30, 2006.  The Foothill Facility also contains certain financial and other covenants.  These include a minimum trailing twelve-month Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of $15,000,000 for the Companies and limitations on other indebtedness and capital expenditures, as defined.  The Companies were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

The outstanding balance on the Foothill Facility is a joint and several obligation of the Companies. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of RBG reflects the full obligation of the Foothill Facility at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 with the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of VRCC recognized as a deemed distribution to reflect the net obligation of the Foothill Facility on the consolidated balance sheet of RBG at September 30, 2006.

Senior Secured and Senior Subordinated Notes

In December 2004, as part of an ownership buyout (the “Buyout”), VRCC, RBG and B&BB (the “Issuers”) issued $125.0 million of 9% senior secured notes (“Senior Notes”) due on January 15, 2012 and $39.9 million in gross proceeds of 12¾% senior subordinated notes (“Senior Sub Notes”) due January 15, 2013 (collectively the “Notes”).  The Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers and all current and future subsidiaries of the Issuers.  Although the Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers, the allocation of the balance of the Notes to the individual balance sheets of B&BB, VRCC and RBG was according to the flow of funds at the date of the Buyout with the proceeds of the Senior Notes necessary to purchase the interests of B&BB recorded on the balance sheet of B&BB and the remaining proceeds of the Senior Notes and Senior Sub Notes recording on the balance sheet of VRCC.  The consolidated balance sheet of RBG reflects the full obligation of the Notes at September 30, 2006 with an amount recognized as a deemed distribution to reflect the net obligation of the Notes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of RBG at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the net amount of the Notes recorded on RBG’s balance sheet was $0.

The Senior Notes pay interest semiannually while the Senior Sub Notes accrue interest in the form of increased accreted value until January 15, 2009, when the carrying book value of the Senior Sub Notes will be $66.0 million.  At that point the Senior Sub Notes will pay interest semiannually on the same dates as the Senior Notes.

5.             Long-term Debt (cont’d)

The indentures (the “Indentures”) governing the Issuers’ Notes contain certain customary financial and other covenants, which limit the Issuers’ ability to incur additional debt.  The Indentures provide that the Issuers may not incur additional indebtedness, other than specified types of indebtedness, unless the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, as defined, on a pro-forma basis after the incurrence of the additional indebtedness is at least 2.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2006, the Issuers have incurred $0 of additional indebtedness as defined. The Indentures also contain other covenants which limit the ability of the Issuers and Guarantors, as defined, under the Indentures to pay dividends, redeem stock, or make other distributions, make investments, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, utilize proceeds from asset sales, transfer or sell assets, issue or sell equity interests of subsidiaries and enter into certain mergers and consolidations, as defined in the Indentures.  There are no restrictions related to the transfer of funds between the Issuers, Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries.  The Issuers were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

The Senior Notes are secured by substantially all existing and future assets of the Issuers and the Guarantors, as defined, as well as the equity interest of the Guarantors, the equity interests of Mr. Black and his affiliate in the Issuers.  The Guarantors are all the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Issuers.  The Senior Notes are subordinated to the security interests of the Foothill Facility.  The Senior Sub Notes are subordinate to the Senior Notes and all other indebtedness of the Companies.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Companies interest rate swaps terminated effective June 30, 2006.

6.             Gaming Equipment Financing

7.             Related Party Transactions (cont’d)

Resorts LLC provided management and other services to two related parties that manage and operate the home owners associations of the vacation intervals sold at the property.  Included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 is a receivable for $281,000 and $95,000, respectively, related to amounts owed for those services.

8.             Commitments and Contingencies

In January 2006, Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC entered into an agreement with Global Exchange Development Corp. to sell substantially all of the unsold time share intervals at the Oasis Hotel and Casino.  The sale is expected to close in three separate closings each involving approximately one-third of the unsold time share intervals at the Oasis Hotel and Casino. Each close is expected to occur within 6 months of the preceding close.    The first closing occurred in January 2006 for $280,000.  As part of the close, Global Exchange Development Corp. executed a note payable to Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC in the amount of $224,000 due January 2007 at an interest rate of 4.38%.  The note was fully paid in April of 2006. The second closing occurred in June 2006 for $288,000 in cash.

9.             Subsequent Events

As part of the acquisition of the Oasis Hotel and Casino in July 2001, WSR, Inc, (“WSR”) the former owners of the property, retained rights that enabled them to have certain land owned by the Oasis Hotel and Casino in Arizona re-conveyed to them if any of the following events were to occur: 1) WSR is able to purchase the land, currently leased to the Oasis Hotel and Casino, from the State of Arizona and sell the portion of the land used in the operation of the Palms Golf Course back to the Oasis Hotel and Casino; or 2) The Oasis Hotel and Casino is not able to renegotiate a long-term extension to the current lease with the State of Arizona that expires in April 2008 and is required to develop existing land to replace the leased land for the golf course operation.  In August 2006, the Companies purchased those rights for approximately $1.1 million which are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In conjunction with the purchase of those rights, in October 2006, the Companies began efforts to market and sell the 350 acres of land the Companies own in Arizona.  The Companies are utilizing a Las Vegas real estate firm, Diversified Interests, which is owned 100% by Mr. Black, to market the property.  The Companies currently expect to sell the land within the next year.  As a result of the Companies’ decision, at September 30, 2006, the Companies had approximately $325,000 in current assets, $258,000 in current liabilities and $8.9 million in non-current assets that subsequent to September 30, 2006, upon meeting all requirements of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, will be recorded as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In October 2006, the Companies adopted the Black Gaming Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”).  LTIP is a long-term formula based compensation plan utilizing EBITDA, as defined, Long-term Debt, as defined, cash and a fixed multiple to compensate senior executives for increasing the operating performance and financial condition of the Companies in the event the executive remains with the Companies.  Future compensation, commencing in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2006, recognized in accordance with LTIP will be accounted for using the intrinsic value method allowed for nonpublic entities as defined and prescribed by SFAS 123(R) “Share Based Payment”.

The Companies have commenced action to reorganize (the “Proposed Reorganization”) the entities, Virgin River Casino Corporation, RBG, LLC, and B & B B, Inc. under a single holding company, Black Gaming, LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company (“Black Gaming”). The Companies are currently seeking the necessary approvals and licenses from appropriate parties, including but not limited to appropriate gaming authorities. While the Companies hope the Proposed Reorganization will be effective prior to January 1, 2007, no assurance can be given that the Proposed Reorganization will be effective by that date, if ever. As currently proposed, when the Proposed Reorganization is completed, Black Gaming will guarantee payment of the Companies’ 9% senior secured notes and 12 3/4% senior subordinated notes.

4.             Long-term Debt (cont’d)

Foothill Facility

The Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. credit facility (“Foothill Facility’) is secured by substantially all the assets of the Companies. During the life of the Foothill Facility, the Companies may borrow up to the lesser of (1) $15.0 million less the Letter of Credit Usage, as defined, less the Bank Product Reserve, as defined, or (2) the Borrowing Base, as defined, less the Letter of Credit Usage.  At September 30, 2006, no amounts were drawn on the Foothill Facility.  Accordingly, the availability under the Foothill Facility at September 30, 2006 was $15.0 million. Under the terms of the Foothill Facility, interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance at LIBOR plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, which is 3.5%, or the Base Rate, as defined, plus the Base Rate Margin, which is 2%.  LIBOR was approximately 5.32% at September 30, 2006.  The Foothill Facility also contains certain financial and other covenants.  These include a minimum trailing twelve-month Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of $15,000,000 for the Companies and limitations on other indebtedness and capital expenditures, as defined.  The Companies were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

The outstanding balance on the Foothill Facility is a joint and several obligation of the Companies. The condensed balance sheet of the Company reflects the full obligation of the Foothill Facility at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 with the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of VRCC recognized as a deemed distribution to reflect the net obligation of the Foothill Facility on the balance sheet of the Company at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the net amount of the Foothill Facility recorded on the Company’s balance sheet is $0.

Senior Secured and Senior Subordinated Notes

In December 2004, as part of an ownership buyout (the “Buyout”), the VRCC, RBG and B&BB (the “Issuers”) issued $125.0 million of 9% senior secured notes (“Senior Notes”) due on January 15, 2012 and $39.9 million in gross proceeds of 12¾% senior subordinated notes (“Senior Sub Notes”) due January 15, 2013 (collectively the “Notes”).  The Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers and all current and future subsidiaries of the Issuers.  Although the Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers, the allocation of the balance of the Notes to the individual balance sheets of B&BB, VRCC and RBG was according to the flow of funds at the date of the Buyout with the proceeds of the Senior Notes necessary to purchase the interests of B&BB recorded on the balance sheet of B&BB and the remaining proceeds of the Senior Notes and Senior Sub Notes recording on the balance sheet of VRCC.  The condensed balance sheet of the Company reflects the full obligation of the Notes at September 30, 2006 with an amount that is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of VRCC recognized as a deemed distribution to reflect the net obligation of the Notes recorded on the balance sheet of the Company at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the net amount of the Notes recorded on the Company’s balance sheet is $20.6 million.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

4.             Long-term Debt (cont’d)

Overview

We own and operate the CasaBlanca Hotel & Casino (the “Casablanca”), the Oasis Hotel and Casino (the “Oasis”) and the Virgin River Hotel & Casino (the “Virgin River”) in Mesquite, Nevada, which is located approximately 80 miles north of Las Vegas. We own three of the four casinos operating in Mesquite and collectively our properties have a dominant market share in Mesquite. Our properties are well established, each having been in operation for at least nine years, and serve as significant drive-in gaming and resort destinations. Our properties collectively feature over 2,200 slot machines, 75 table games, and 2,100 deluxe hotel rooms, and offer extensive amenities, including championship golf courses, full service spas, a bowling center, movie theaters, restaurants, and banquet and conference facilities. With each of our properties, we leverage our extensive value-oriented amenities and emphasis on slot play to target middle market gaming customers.

Our revenues are primarily derived from gaming revenues, which include revenues from slot machines, table games, live keno, race and sports book wagering and bingo. Gaming revenues are generally defined as gaming wins less gaming losses. In addition, we derive a significant amount of revenue from our hotel rooms and our food and beverage outlets. We also derive revenues from our golf courses, spa facilities, timeshare units, bowling center and other amenities. Promotional allowances consist primarily of free hotel rooms or food and beverages furnished gratuitously to customers. The retail value of such services is included in the respective revenue classifications and is then deducted as promotional allowances. We calculate operating income as net revenues less total operating costs and expenses. Operating income represents only those amounts that relate to our operations and excludes interest income, interest expense, and other non-operating income and expenses.

Our entities are classified as “flow-through” entities under the partnership or Subchapter S provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under those provisions, the owners of the companies pay or are responsible for reporting our taxable income on their separate returns. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes is not included in our financial statements.

RBG, LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company, was formed in February 1997 for the purpose of acquiring the assets of Player’s Island Resort in Mesquite, Nevada, currently operating as the CasaBlanca. RBG, LLC acquired the CasaBlanca for $30.5 million. In February 2001, RBG, LLC formed a subsidiary, Casablanca Resorts, LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company, in order to purchase the assets of the Oasis in Mesquite. RBG, LLC acquired the Oasis for $31.7 million. Currently, RBG, LLC directly owns and operates the CasaBlanca, and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, owns and operates the Oasis. In

39




 

May 2001, Casablanca Resorts, LLC formed three subsidiaries—Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company; Oasis Recreational Properties, Inc., a Nevada corporation; and Oasis Interval Management, LLC, a Nevada limited-liability company. Oasis Interval Ownership, LLC and Oasis Interval Management, LLC were formed in connection with the operation and management of time share operations. Oasis Recreational Properties, Inc. owns the recreational facility that is associated with the Oasis.

B&BB, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed in December 1989 in connection with the construction and development of the Virgin River. B&BB, Inc. operates the hotel casino and owns certain personal property including furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and gaming equipment within the casino. Virgin River Casino Corporation, a Nevada corporation, was formed in July 1988 in connection with the construction of the Virgin River. Virgin River Casino Corporation currently owns the land and buildings associated with the Virgin River as well as the Virgin River Convention Center (formerly known as the Mesquite Star Hotel & Casino). Virgin River Casino Corporation generates income from rents received from B & B B, Inc., which operates the Virgin River.

The Virgin River Convention Center is currently a nonoperating casino, which we acquired out of bankruptcy for $6.3 million in November 2000. The Virgin River Convention Center has 12,000 square feet of gaming space and 210 hotel rooms. We are presently using the property as a special events facility and for overflow hotel traffic from our other properties. We believe that the Virgin River Convention Center gives us a competitive advantage in the Mesquite market because it allows us the flexibility of opening the casino to meet market demand and to maintain our market share in the future on a cost-effective basis.

In order to offer our customers attractive and modern facilities, we plan to continue to renovate our facilities and add amenities. In particular, in the future we plan to (i) add convention and concert space and redesign the center and pool bar at the Casablanca; (ii) add an additional restaurant and refurbish and remodel the casino interior, coffee shop and lounge at the Virgin River; and (ii) expand and remodel the fine dining restaurant and sports bar at the Oasis. We are currently in the design phase for each of the projects, therefore, budgets and timetables for completion for each have not been finalized.  However, it is anticipated that the total cost for all projects will not exceed $21 million, the same amount previously allocated for our postponed hotel tower.

Key Performance Indicators

Our operating results are highly dependent on the volume of customers at our properties, which in turn impacts the price we can charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities. We generate a significant portion of our operating income from the gaming and hotel portions of our operations. Key performance indicators in our gaming and hotel operations are as follows:

Gaming revenue indicators — table games drop and slot handle (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. Our normal table games win percentage is in the range of 15% to 18% of table games drop and our normal slot win percentage is in the range of 5% to 6% of slot handle.

Hotel revenue indicators — hotel occupancy (volume indicator); average daily rate (“ADR,” price indicator); revenue per available room (“REVPAR”), a summary measure of hotel results, combining ADR and occupancy rate.

Most of our revenue is essentially cash-based, through customers wagering with cash or paying for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. Our industry is capital intensive and we rely heavily on

40




 

the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing, fund maintenance capital expenditures and provide excess cash for future development.

Our results of operations tend to be seasonal in nature. Typically, 54% of our operating income is generated in the first quarter and 39% is generated in the second quarter with the remainder being generated during the final half of the year.

Three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2005

Consolidated Net Revenues. Consolidated net revenues increased by 6.0% to $28.0 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $26.4 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in casino revenues, a $0.8 million increase in hotel revenues and a $0.4 million increase in food and beverage revenues and a $0.2 million increase in other revenues, offset by a $1.9 million increase in promotional allowances.

Consolidated net revenues increased by 4.2% to $92.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $89.2 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a $5.4 million increase in casino revenues, a $3.4 million increase in hotel revenues and a $0.6 million increase in food and beverage revenues, offset by a decrease in other revenue of $0.1 million and a $5.5 million increase in promotional allowances.

Consolidated Operating Income. Consolidated operating loss increased to $1.1 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to an operating loss of $0.9 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, our operating loss margin increased to 3.8% of net revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the loss margin of 3.6% of net

41




 

revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2005.  The main reason for the decrease in operating income was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in casino expenses, a $1.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses and a $0.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization, offset by increases in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Consolidated operating income decreased by 7.3% to $5.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $6.2 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, our operating income margin decreased to 6.2% of net revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 7.0% of net revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.  The main reason for the decrease was due to a $3.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses in addition to an increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.1 million offset by reductions in hotel operating expenses and other expenses in the current period.

Casino. Casino revenues increased 14.9% to $16.4 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $14.3 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in casino revenues was due to the increase in slot revenues, which increased $2.2 million between periods as the hold percentage increased for the three-months ended September 30, 2006  compared to the same period in the prior year offset by a decrease in coin-in.  Table games revenues remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year on increased drop.  Casino profit margin increased to 48.0% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 46.0% for three-months ended September 30, 2005.  Casino expenses increased 10.6% to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was attributable to increased taxes and license fees which increase with increased gaming revenues in addition to additional expenses attributable to promotional allowances for highly rated players.

Casino revenues increased 11.8% to $51.3 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $45.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in casino revenues was due to the increase in slot revenues, which increased $5.0 million between periods on an increased overall hold for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. Table games revenues increased $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year on increased drop and hold.  Casino profit margin increased to 51.1% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 50.4% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in casino profit margin is primarily due to most costs remaining relatively flat or decreasing, with the exception of gaming taxes and advertising and promotions for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. Casino expenses increased 10.3% to $25.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $22.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.

Food and Beverage. Food and beverage revenues increased by 6.2% to $7.5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $7.1 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. Revenues increased due to an increase in pricing.  Food and beverage expenses decreased by 6.6% to $4.2 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $4.5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005.  The decrease in food and beverage expenses was mainly due to a reduction in covers for the quarter.  Food and beverage profit margin increased to 43.7% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 36.1% for the three-months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase in food and beverage profit margin is primarily due to an increase in revenue due to pricing on reduced covers.

Food and beverage revenues increased by 2.8% to $23.6 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $23.0 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. Revenues increased due to an increase in pricing offset by fewer covers.  Food and beverage expenses

42




 

decreased 6.1% to $13.5 million for the nine-month ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $14.4 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.  The decrease in expenses was primarily due to a reduction in covers. Food and beverage profit margin increased to 42.7% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 37.3% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase in food and beverage profit margin is primarily due to an increase in revenues due to pricing on reduced covers for the period.

Hotel. Hotel revenues increased 16.0% to $5.5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $4.8 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. Hotel revenues increased due to increased occupied rooms on increases in ADR.  Hotel expenses decreased 42.0% to $1.0 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $1.7 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005 due to reduced payroll costs.  As a result, hotel profit margin increased to 81.9% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 from 63.8% in the prior three-month period ended September 30, 2005.

Hotel revenues increased 21.4% to $19.0 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $15.6 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. Hotel revenues increased due to increased ADR offset by a decreased number of occupied rooms. Hotel expenses decreased 27.3% to $3.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $5.4 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005 due to an overall decline in occupied rooms.  As a result, hotel profit margin increased to 79.5% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 from 65.8% in the prior nine-month period ended September 30, 2005.

Other Revenues. Other revenues increased 6.0% to $3.3 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $3.1 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005 due to increases in spa, golf and gift shop revenues. These increases were due to the promotional golf and spa package advertised during the third quarter.   Other expenses increased 5.7% to $2.7 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $2.5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005.

Other revenues decreased 1.1% to $13.8 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $13.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.  The main reason for the reduction was due to a $0.4 million decrease in time share revenue, a $0.3 million decrease in golf revenue, and a $0.3 million decrease in gift shop revenue all of which was offset by a $0.4 million increase in spa revenue and a $0.4 million increase in concert and showroom revenue.   Other expenses decreased 6.0% to $8.6 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $9.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.  The main reason for the decrease is due to decreases in the cost associated with the time share operation offset by increases in costs associated with the concert and showroom revenue.

Promotional Allowances. Promotional allowances increased by 43.2% to $6.4 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $4.5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. As a percent of gross revenues, promotional allowances increased to 18.6% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 14.5% for the three-months ended September 30, 2005 as we focused our marketing attention on our better gaming customers.

Promotional allowances increased by 39.6% to $19.5 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $14.0 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.

Three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2005

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased by 1.8% to $12.2 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $12.0 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in casino revenues, a $0.1 million increase in food and beverage revenues, a $0.3 million increase in hotel revenues, and was offset by a $0.7 million increase in promotional allowances. Net revenues increased 4.5% to $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $37.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in casino revenues, a $0.3 million increase in food and beverage revenues and a $1.0 million increase in hotel revenues, and was offset by a $1.3 million increase in promotional allowances.

Operating (Loss) Income. Operating loss increased to $0.5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to operating income of $0.05 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, our operating loss margin was 3.7% of net revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to an operating income margin of 0.4% of net revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2005.  Operating income decreased 29.6% to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  In addition, our operating income margin decreased to 3.7% of net revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 5.5% of net revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.

Casino. Casino revenues increased 5.6% to $8.9 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $8.4 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in casino revenues was due to the increase in slot revenues, which increased $0.4 million between periods as the hold percentage for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 increased compared to the same period in the prior year. Table games revenues remained relatively flat at $0.7 million while other gaming increased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in table games revenue was due to a decrease in table games hold percentages. Overall casino expenses increased 3.4% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year due mainly to an increase in taxes and license fees on increased gaming revenues and advertising and promotional costs. Casino profit margin increased to 59.7% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 58.9% for three-months ended September 30, 2005.

Casino revenues increased 6.7% to $27.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in casino revenues was due to the increase in slot revenues, which increased $1.1 million between periods as the hold percentage increased for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. Table games revenues increased slightly by $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Overall casino expenses decreased 1.8% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year due to most costs remaining relatively flat or decreasing, with the exception of gaming taxes and advertising. Casino profit margin increased to 61.3% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 58.0% for nine-months ended September 30, 2005.

Food and Beverage. Food and beverage revenues increased slightly to $2.9 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $2.8 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in food and beverage revenues was due to an increase in pricing offset by a decreased number of covers.  Food and beverage expenses increased by 12.5% to $2.1 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $1.9 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005.  Our food and beverage profit margin decreased to 25.2% of net revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 30.8% of net revenues for the same period in the prior year as a result of increased expenses.

Food and beverage revenues increased by 3.1% to $9.0 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $8.8 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. Food and beverage expenses increased to $6.0 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $5.5 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. Our food and beverage profit margin decreased to 33.9% of net revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 37.0% of net revenues for the same period in the prior year.

Hotel. Hotel revenues increased by 17.2% to $2.1 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $1.8 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The hotel revenues increased due to an increase in the average daily rate on more occupied rooms during the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year.  Hotel expenses decreased 41.9% to $0.4 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $0.7 million for three months ended September 30, 2005.  The decrease was due to a decrease in room occupancy.  As a result, hotel profit margin increased to 79.4% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 from 58.5% in the same period of the prior year.

Hotel revenues increased by 14.8% to $7.4 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $6.5 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The hotel revenues increased due to an increase in the average daily rate offset by fewer occupied rooms during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year.  Hotel expenses decreased 24.5% to $1.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to the decrease in occupied rooms.  As a result, hotel profit margin increased to 77.3% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 from 65.5% in the same period of the prior year.

Other Revenues. Other revenues remained relatively flat at $0.7 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year.  Other expenses remained relatively flat as well at $0.3 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.

52




 

 

Other revenues remained consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year at $2.1 million.  Other expenses were also consistent at $1.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.

Promotional Allowances. Promotional allowances increased by 42.0% to $2.3 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $1.6 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. As a percent of gross revenues, promotional allowances increased to 16.1% of gross revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 12.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as we focused our marketing attention on our better gaming customers.

Promotional allowances increased by 24.3% to $6.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $5.5 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. As a percent of gross revenues, promotional allowances increased to 14.9% of gross revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 12.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as we focused our marketing attention on our better gaming customers.

General and Administrative.  G&A expenses increased by 3.1% to $3.4 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $3.3 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. As a percent of net revenues, G&A expenses were 27.9% for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 27.5% for the three-months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase in G&A expenses is attributable to an increase in repairs and maintenance and professional fees expenses in the current period.

  G&A expenses increased by 9.2% to $10.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $9.3 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. As a percent of net revenues, G&A expenses increased to 25.7% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 24.6% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to $1.2 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $0.6 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was due to the purchase of additional gaming equipment and other capital expenditures in addition to a change in the estimated life of our gaming equipment which was made effective January 1, 2006 and our purchase accounting adjustment, related to the December 20, 2004 buyout, completed in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $3.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $2.0 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was due to the purchase of additional gaming equipment and other capital expenditures in addition to a change in the estimated life of our gaming equipment which was made effective January 1, 2006 and our purchase accounting adjustment, related to the December 20, 2004 buyout, completed in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Credit Facility

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been cash flow from operations and our credit facility.  As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, cash and cash equivalents were $4.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 was $2.0 million compared to $2.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The main reason for the $0.1 million decrease was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in operating income (excluding depreciation and amortization expense and other noncash charges) offset by an increase in the net related company receivables.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 was $2.0 million compared to $2.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. The majority of cash used in investing activities was related to capital expenditures for the property management and back office computer system. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 the majority of cash used in investing activities consisted of the following at the Virgin River: $0.7 million for the room remodel, $0.3 million for the Starbucks, $0.5 million for gaming equipment, $0.1 million for the buffet expansion and $0.6 million for maintenance capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 was $1.4 million compared to $0.6 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, $1.2 million represented payments on gaming equipment financing and $0.2 million represented payments on the long term debt.  For the nine-months ended September 30, 2005, $0.4 million represented  payments on gaming equipment financing and $0.1 million in payments on long term debt.

Capital Expenditures for Virgin River Casino Corporation, RBG, LLC and B & B B, Inc.

We plan to continue to renovate our facilities and add amenities. In particular, during the remainder of 2006 and throughout 2007, we plan to (i) add convention and concert space and redesign the center and pool bar at the Casablanca; (ii) add an additional restaurant and refurbish and remodel the casino interior, coffee shop and lounge at the Virgin River; and (iii) expand and remodel the fine dining restaurant at the Oasis. We are currently in the design phase for each of the projects therefore budgets and timetables for completion for each have not been finalized; however, it is anticipated that the total cost for all projects will not exceed what had been allocated for our postponed Casablanca hotel tower which was $21 million. We believe that existing cash, cash flows from operations, equipment financing and available borrowings under the Foothill Facility will be adequate to satisfy our anticipated uses of capital during the remainder of 2006.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements for Virgin River Casino Corporation, RBG, LLC and B & B B, Inc.

We have no off balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments for Virgin River Casino Corporation, RBG, LLC and B & B B, Inc.

A description of our contractual obligations and commitment for Virgin River Casino Corporation, RBG, LLC and B & B B, Inc. can be found in item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies for Virgin River Casino Corporation, RBG, LLC and B & B B, Inc.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Qualifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered  in quantifying a current year misstatement. The provisions of SAB 108 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying SAB 108 but does not believe that the application of SAB 108 will have a material effect on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

A description of our other critical accounting policies can be found in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The gaming equipment financings are agreements that because of their long-term nature are considered debt under generally accepted accounting principles. The estimated fair value of each gaming equipment financing is the same as the carrying value.

We are also exposed to market risk in the form of fluctuations in interest rates and their potential impact upon our debt. Historically, this market risk is managed by utilizing derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. We evaluate our exposure to market risk by monitoring interest rates in the marketplace, and do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our derivative financial instruments consist exclusively of interest rate swap agreements. Interest differentials resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expense. As of June 30, 2006, the interest rate swaps contracts ended.

The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates:

The gaming equipment financing are agreements that because of their long-term nature we impute interest expense for accounting purposes.  Contractually these agreements carry no interest, therefore we believe that there is no exposure to interest rate risk and therefore have excluded those contracts from the presentation above.

Item 4.                          Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of and for the three  months ended September 30, 2006.  This evaluation was done with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our  management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met.  Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within us have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a control.  Because the design of a control system is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions as over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Conclusions

Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2006, and have concluded that they are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter, i.e., the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
