MAJESTIC INVESTOR HOLDINGS, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Majestic Investor Holdings, LLC (the "Company"), is a Delaware limited
liability company formed on September 14, 2001. The Company owns and operates
three Fitzgeralds brand casinos through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Barden
Mississippi Gaming, LLC, Barden Colorado Gaming, LLC and Barden Nevada Gaming,
LLC, each of which is a "restricted subsidiary" of the Company under the
Indenture relating to the Company's 11.653% Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes").
Majestic Investor Capital Corp. ("MICC"), another wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, was formed specifically to facilitate the offering of the Company's
Notes and does not have any material assets or operations.
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Majestic Investor, LLC and
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Majestic Star Casino, LLC ("Majestic
Star"), owner and operator of the Majestic Star Casino, a riverboat casino
located at Buffington Harbor in Gary, Indiana. The Company is indirectly
wholly-owned and controlled by Don H. Barden, the Company's Manager, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer.
Except where otherwise noted, the words "we," "us," "our" and similar
terms, as well as the "Company," refer to Majestic Investor Holdings, LLC and
all of its subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Majestic
Investor Capital Corp., Barden Mississippi Gaming, LLC, Barden Colorado Gaming,
LLC and Barden Nevada Gaming, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim period have been made. The results for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for the full fiscal year. The financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 financial
statements to conform to the 2002 presentations. These reclassifications have no
effect on previously reported net income.
NOTE 2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 145, "Rescission of
FASB statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and
Technical Corrections" which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May
15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting
pronouncements. Management does not expect SFAS No. 145 to have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" which will become effective for
exit or disposal activities initiated
4
NOTE 2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 supercedes Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for
a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred and states that an entity's commitment to an exit plan, by
itself, does not create a present obligation that meets the definition of a
liability. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for
initial measurement of the liability. Adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have no
impact on historical consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisition of Certain
Financial Institutions," which is not applicable to the Company.
NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
GAMING REGULATIONS
The ownership and operation of our casino gaming facilities are subject
to various state and local regulations in the jurisdictions where they are
located. In Nevada, our gaming operations are subject to the Nevada Gaming
Control Act, and to the licensing and regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming
Commission, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and various local ordinances
and regulations, including, without limitation, applicable city and county
gaming and liquor licensing authorities. In Mississippi, our gaming operations
are subject to the Mississippi Gaming Control Act, and to the licensing and/or
regulatory control of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, the Mississippi State
Tax Commission and various state and local regulatory agencies, including liquor
licensing authorities. In Colorado, our gaming operations are subject to the
Limited Gaming Act of 1991, which created the Division of Gaming within the
Colorado Department of Revenue and the Colorado Limited Gaming Control
Commission to license, implement, regulate and supervise the conduct of limited
gaming. Our operations are also subject to the Colorado Liquor Code and the
state and local liquor licensing authorities. In addition, as Majestic Star does
business in the State of Indiana, the Company is subject to certain reviews by
the Indiana Gaming Commission.
The Company's directors, officers, managers and key employees are
required to hold individual licenses, the requirements for which vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Licenses and permits for gaming operations and of
individual licensees are subject to revocation or non-renewal for cause. Under
certain circumstances, holders of our securities are required to secure
independent licenses and permits.
NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS
On December 6, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Fitzgeralds
Las Vegas, Inc. ("Fitzgeralds Las Vegas"), Fitzgeralds Mississippi Inc.
("Fitzgeralds Tunica") and 101 Main Street Limited Liability Company
("Fitzgeralds Black Hawk") (the "Fitzgeralds assets") for approximately $152.7
million in cash, which includes the purchase price of $149.0 million and
professional fees and other expenses related to the acquisition. Pursuant to the
terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the parties agreed to a $3.8 million
reduction on May 9, 2002, based upon a negotiated settlement of the value of
working capital at December 6, 2001. We are accounting for the acquisition under
the purchase method. Accordingly, the purchase price is allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the
date of acquisition. We determined the estimated fair value of property and
equipment and intangible assets based upon third-party valuations.
5
NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
The purchase price was determined based upon estimates of future cash flows and
the net worth of the assets acquired. Majestic Investor Holdings, LLC funded the
acquisition through the issuance of its 11.653% Senior Secured Notes. The
following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and
the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

Net $ 152.7
========
Intangible assets primarily include $9.8 million for customer
relationships, $3.7 million for tradename and $5.2 million for gaming licenses.
Intangible assets for customer relationships and tradenames are being amortized
over a period of 8-10 years. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other
indefinite lived intangible assets, such as the Company's gaming license, are
not amortized but instead are subject to impairment tests at least annually.
NOTE 5. OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company's
intangible assets, other than goodwill, as of September 30, 2002, are as

NOTE 5. OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)
The amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $0.4 million and $1.2
million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for each of the five
succeeding fiscal years is as follows:
(In thousands)
For the year ended December 31,
2002 $ 1,595
2003 $ 1,642
2004 $ 1,642
2005 $ 1,642
2006 $ 1,642
NOTE 6. GOODWILL
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 are as follows:
(In thousands)
Balance as of January 1, 2002 $ 10,602
Goodwill acquired 296
----------
Balance as of March 31, 2002 10,898

Goodwill adjustments (549)
Goodwill acquired 164
----------
Balance as of June 30, 2002 6,713
Goodwill adjustments (1,191)
----------
Balance as of September 30, 2002 $ 5,522
----------
The increase in goodwill acquired primarily relates to professional
fees incurred by the Company related to the acquisition of Fitzgeralds Tunica,
Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and Fitzgeralds Las Vegas. The decrease in goodwill is
primarily due to a $3.8 million purchase price adjustment resulting from the
final purchase price settlement of the valuation of the assets and liabilities
of the Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, Fitzgeralds Tunica and Fitzgeralds Black Hawk
properties and adjustments of estimates of liabilities for slot based programs.
In accordance with FAS No.142, goodwill is not amortized but instead is
subject to impairment tests at least annually.

NOTE 7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company owns and operates three properties as follows: a casino and
hotel located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada; a casino and hotel located in
Tunica, Mississippi; and a casino located in Black Hawk, Colorado (collectively,
the "Properties").

the business segment through management fees from Majestic Star and are

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
STATEMENT OF FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This quarterly report includes statements that constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor provisions of those sections and
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believes,"
"anticipates," "estimates", "plans", "intends", "will", "could" or "expects"
used in the Company's press releases and reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Although the Company
believes its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions within the
bounds of its current knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no
assurances that actual results will not materially differ from expected results.
The Company cautions that these and similar statements included in this report
and in previously filed reports are further qualified by important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, without limitation: the
ability to fund planned development needs and to service debt from existing
operations; the ability to successfully integrate the three Fitzgeralds casinos;
increased competition in existing markets or the opening of new gaming
jurisdictions; a decline in the public acceptance of gaming; the limitation,
conditioning or suspension of our gaming licenses; increases in or new taxes
imposed on gaming revenues, taxes on gaming devices; a finding of unsuitability
by regulatory authorities with respect to the Company or its officers or key
employees; loss and/or retirement of key executives; a significant increase in
fuel or transportation prices; adverse economic conditions in the Company's
markets; severe and unusual weather in our markets; non-renewal of the Company's
or any of its operating subsidiaries' gaming licenses from the appropriate
governmental authorities in Nevada, Mississippi and Colorado; and future
occurrences of terrorist attacks or other destabilizing events.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. All subsequent written and
oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in
their entirety by the cautionary statements and factors that may affect future
results contained throughout this report. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly release any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is
qualified in its entirety by, our financial statements, including the notes
thereto listed in Item 1.
OVERVIEW
The Company was formed on September 14, 2001 and commenced operations
of the Fitzgeralds casinos on December 7, 2001, and accordingly has a limited
operating history. Therefore, the discussion of operations herein will focus on
events and the Company's revenues and expenses during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and the combined results of operations of the three
Fitzgeralds casino properties for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 2001. All prior year comparative financial information for the Fitzgeralds
properties has been derived from the predecessor's unaudited financial
statements and other financial disclosures made to the public.
The gaming operations of the Company's properties may be seasonal and,
depending on the location and other circumstances, the effects of such
seasonality could be significant. The
21
properties' results are affected by inclement weather in relevant markets. For
example, the Fitzgeralds Black Hawk site, located in the Rocky Mountains of
Colorado, is subject to snow and icy road conditions during the winter months.
Any such severe weather conditions may discourage potential customers from
visiting the Black Hawk facilities. Also, at Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, business
levels are generally weaker from Thanksgiving through the middle of January
(except during the week between Christmas and New Year's) and throughout the
summer, and generally stronger from mid-January through Easter and from
mid-September through Thanksgiving. At Fitzgeralds Tunica and Fitzgeralds Black
Hawk, business levels are typically weaker from Thanksgiving through the end of
the winter and typically stronger from mid-June to mid-November. Accordingly,
the Company's results of operations are expected to fluctuate from quarter to
quarter and the results for any fiscal quarter may not be indicative of results
for future fiscal quarters.
On October 21, 2002, Jon S. Bennett was named as the Company's Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Bennett will oversee all aspects of
the Company's financial management, accounting and reporting processes for its
four casinos and two hotels.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth information derived from the Company's
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002, and the combined statements of operations for Fitzgeralds
Las Vegas, Inc., Fitzgeralds Mississippi, Inc. and 101 Main Street Limited
Liability Company for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2001,
expressed as a percentage of gross revenues.

September 30, 2002 was approximately $3,825,000, or 7.4% of consolidated gross
revenues compared to $0 in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase of
$3,825,000 was due to the discontinuance of the recognition of depreciation and
amortization by Fitzgeralds Gaming Corporation subsequent to the filing of the
Bankruptcy Cases on December 5, 2000. During the three months ended September
30, 2002, Fitzgeralds Tunica accounted for $1,866,000, or 48.8%, Fitzgeralds

$8,614,000, or 16.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The $4,080,000
decrease was primarily due to the discontinuance of the recognition of
depreciation and amortization by the predecessor in the prior year. Fitzgeralds
Tunica accounted for operating income of $3,867,000, or 85.3%, Fitzgeralds Black
Hawk accounted for operating income of $2,254,000, or 49.7%, Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas accounted for operating loss of $922,000, or (20.3)%, and the unallocated

to $5,249,000, or 60.9%, $2,649,000, or 30.8%, a loss of $281,000, or (3.3)%,
and intercompany eliminations of $997,000, or 11.7%, respectively, for the

Consolidated net interest expense for the three months ended September
30, 2002 was approximately $4,430,000, or 8.6% of consolidated gross revenues
compared to approximately $2,000 of net interest income during the quarter ended
September 30, 2001. The $4,432,000 increase is attributable to interest expense
associated with the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes. The predecessor companies
discontinued accruing interest on their debt on December 5, 2000 with the
commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases. Fitzgeralds Tunica accounted for interest
income of $8,000, Fitzgeralds Black Hawk accounted for interest income of
$2,000, Fitzgeralds Las Vegas accounted for net interest expense of $5,000 and
the unallocated corporate net interest expense primarily associated with the
11.653% Senior Secured Notes was approximately
26
$4,435,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net
interest expense of approximately $0, $0 and $2,000, respectively, during the
quarter ended September 30, 2001.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company realized a consolidated net
income of approximately $93,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002
compared to net income of approximately $8,626,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2001. The $8,533,000 or 98.9% decrease is principally attributed
to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense, as
previously discussed.

of liquidity.

September 30, 2002 was approximately $10,705,000, or 6.9% of consolidated gross
revenues compared to $0 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. The
increase of $10,705,000 was due to the discontinuance of the recognition of
depreciation and amortization by the predecessor company subsequent to the

$10,589,000 decrease is primarily due to the discontinuance of the recognition
of depreciation and amortization by the predecessor in the prior year.

Fitzgeralds Black Hawk accounted for operating income of $5,037,000, or 37.5%,

compared to $7,000 net
29
interest expense during the period ended September 30, 2001. The $13,470,000
increase is attributable to interest expense associated with the 11.653% Senior

As a result of the foregoing, the Company realized a consolidated net
loss of $81,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net
income of $24,047,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
$24,128,000 decrease in net income is principally attributed to an increase in
depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense as previously
discussed.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure and is
used by the Company to assist in the evaluation of the cash generating ability
of its gaming business. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, (gain)/loss on sale of
assets, other non-operating expenses and excluding pre-opening costs associated

related to the purchase price adjustment on certain assets and liabilities
acquired on December 6, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net

2002, cash used by financing activities totaled approximately $9.9 million.
Approximately $6.5 million was repaid on the outstanding line of credit and
approximately $1.4 million was expended for professional fees related to the
issuance of the Company's 11.653% Senior Secured Notes during the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. As of November 14, 2002, there are no outstanding
borrowings under the Company's $15.0 million credit facility. Also during the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, cash distributions were made to BDI, Inc.
under the Management Agreement totaling approximately $1.8 million.
In connection with the issuance by the Company of $152,632,000 of
unregistered 11.653% Senior Secured Notes due 2007 (the "Unregistered Notes") on
December 6, 2001, the Company entered in a registration rights agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") a registration statement (the
30
"Registration Statement") to exchange up to $152,632,000 principal amount of
11.653% Senior Secured Notes due 2007 registered under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Registered Notes") for any and all of its outstanding Unregistered
Notes. The registration rights agreement requires the Company to pay liquidated
damages to the holders of the Unregistered Notes if the Registration Statement
was not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to April 5, 2002. The
Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 8, 2002 and
the Company is required to pay liquidated damages pursuant to the terms of the
registration rights agreement for the period from April 6, 2002 until August 8,
2002. On May 31, 2002, in connection with the first scheduled interest payment
on the Unregistered Notes, the Company made its initial liquidated damages
payment of $61,053 to the holders of the Notes. The final liquidated damages
payment of $114,474 will be paid to the holders of the Unregistered Notes with
the next scheduled interest payment on November 30, 2002. Pursuant to the
Registration Statement, the offer to exchange the Registered Notes for any or
all of the Unregistered Notes commenced on August 8, 2002 and was completed on
Friday, September 6, 2002 at 5p.m. Eastern Standard Time. On October 17, 2002,
the Company redeemed $865,000 of the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes at a discount
to par of 87 3/4%, plus accrued interest of $38,359.
Management believes that the Company's cash flow from operations and
its current line of credit will be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated
future requirements for working capital, its capital expenditures and scheduled
payments of interest and principal on the Company's 11.653% Senior Secured Notes
and other permitted indebtedness for the year 2002. No assurance can be given,
however, that such proceeds and operating cash flow, in light of increased
competition will be sufficient for such purposes. If necessary and to the extent
permitted under the Indenture, the Company will seek additional financing
through borrowings and debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that
additional financing, if needed, will be available to the Company, or that, if
available, the financing will be on terms favorable to the Company. In addition,
there is no assurance that the Company's estimate of its reasonably anticipated
liquidity needs is accurate or that unforeseen events will not occur, resulting
in the need to raise additional funds.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB statements, No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections" which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and
simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. Management does not expect SFAS
No. 145 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" which will become effective for
exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146
supercedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity." SFAS
No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and states that an
entity's commitment to an exit plan, by itself, does not create a present
obligation that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS No. 146 also
establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the
liability. Adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have no impact on historical
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisition of
Certain Financial Institutions," which is not applicable to the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes from the information reported in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 15d-15 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the
Company's periodic SEC reports. There have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.
