THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries
is a multi-jurisdictional gaming company that directly owns and operates one
riverboat gaming facility located in Gary, Indiana (the "Majestic Star Casino")
and through its wholly owned subsidiary, Majestic Investor Holdings, LLC
("Majestic Investor Holdings" or "Investor Holdings") owns three
Fitzgeralds-brand casino-hotels located in Tunica County, Mississippi
("Fitzgeralds Tunica"), Black Hawk, Colorado (casino only) ("Fitzgeralds Black
Hawk"), and Las Vegas, Nevada ("Fitzgeralds Las Vegas").
The Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the The Majestic Star Casino, LLC, was originally formed for the purpose of
facilitating The Majestic Star Casino, LLC's $130 million 10-7/8% Senior Secured
Notes due 2006 (the "10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes") and Majestic Investor
Capital Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Majestic Investor Holdings, was
formed specifically to facilitate the offering of the Majestic Investor
Holding's $152.6 million 11.653% Senior Secured Notes due 2007 (the "11.653%
Senior Secured Notes"). Both The Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp. and Majestic
Investor Capital Corp. do not have any assets or operations. All of the 10-7/8%
Senior Secured Notes and $135.5 million of the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes have
been redeemed or retired. Please see our discussion below and in Note 7 to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the
issuance of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and the establishment of the $80.0
million Credit Facility.
Except where otherwise noted, the words "we," "us," "our" and similar
terms, as well as the "Company" refer to The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and all
of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
On August 26, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and Majestic Investor
Holdings, commenced cash tender offers and consent solicitations for Majestic
Star's 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes and Majestic Investor Holdings' 11.653%
Senior Secured Notes, respectively, in connection with a refinancing transaction
of such notes. On October 7, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and its
restricted subsidiary, The Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp., issued $260.0
million of 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 (the "9-1/2% Senior Secured
Notes") and entered into a new $80.0 million credit facility (the "$80 million
Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. The proceeds from the issuance
of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and approximately $28.0 million of the $80
million Credit Facility were used to retire all of the 10-7/8% Senior Secured
Notes and substantially all of the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes. As part of the
refinancing, the operating subsidiaries of Fitzgeralds Tunica and Fitzgeralds
Black Hawk are guarantors under both the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and the $80
million Credit Facility; however, the operating subsidiary of Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas is now an unrestricted subsidiary of The Majestic Star Casino, LLC. It is
anticipated that Fitzgeralds Las Vegas will be spun out to Barden Development,
Inc. ("BDI") promptly after Majestic Investor Holdings, the direct owner of
Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, and BDI receive approval from the Nevada Gaming Control
Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission. Approval is anticipated to occur in
December 2003. Please see Note 7 to

THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the
issuance of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and the establishment of the $80.0
million Credit Facility.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. All
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in
affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant
influence, but not control, are accounted for by the equity method. These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals
generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP" and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Significant estimates incorporated into our
consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives of
depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated allowance for doubtful
accounts receivable, estimated cash flow in assessing the recoverability of long
lived assets, estimated liabilities for our self insured medical plan, slot club
point programs and litigation, claims and assessments. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Our consolidated financial statements include the results of the
operating subsidiary of Fitzgeralds Las Vegas. See Note 11 to the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for consolidating information. It is
anticipated that Fitzgeralds Las Vegas will be spun out to BDI promptly after
Majestic Investor Holdings, the direct owner of the operating subsidiary of
Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, and BDI receive approval from the Nevada Gaming Control
Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission to effect such transaction. Such
regulatory approval is not within the Company's control.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2003 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
Majestic Star Casino, LLC's and Majestic Investor Holdings' Annual Reports on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the prior year
reflect certain reclassifications to conform to the current year presentation,
which have no effect on previously reported net income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
statement 145 ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 addresses the presentation for gains and
losses on early retirements of debt in the statement of operations. SFAS 145 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted
SFAS 145 and as a result, reclassified $69,000 in a gain from the early
extinguishment of debt, which item had previously been reported as an
extraordinary item in the fourth quarter of 2002. In the fourth quarter of 2003,
the Company also expects to recognize a loss on the retirement of debt of $32.0
million on October 7, 2003. The loss on the retirement of debt is comprised of
the premium on the offers to purchase, the write-off of the deferred debt
issuance costs and the original issue discount on the 10-7/8% Senior Secured
Notes and the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes, which amounts will be reflected in
the computation of net income for the year ended December 31, 2003.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement
146 ("SFAS 146") "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities." The provisions of SFAS 146 became effective for exit or disposal
activities commenced subsequent to December 31, 2002. Adoption of SFAS 146 did
not have any material impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others."
FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim
and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees
that it has issued. It also clarifies (for guarantees issued after January 1,
2003) that a guarantor is required to recognize at the inception of a guarantee,
a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the
guarantee. At September 30, 2003, the Company did not have any guarantees
outside of its consolidated group. Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities."
FIN 46 addresses the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate
related entities in which they are determined to be the primary economic
beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interests. FIN 46 is intended
to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in
determining the primary beneficiary. FIN 46 outlines disclosure requirements for
Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") in existence prior to January 31, 2003, and
outlines consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The
Company has reviewed its major relationships and its overall economic interests
with other companies consisting of related parties, companies in which it has an
equity position and other suppliers to determine the extent of its variable
economic interest in these parties. Adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.

THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 ("SFAS 149") "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Provisions of
SFAS 149 became effective for contracts and hedging relationships entered into
or modified after June 30, 2003. Adoption of SFAS 149 did not have any material
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the
Company has not entered into or modified any agreements that contain derivative
instrument or involve hedging activities.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 ("SFAS 150") "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristic of both Liabilities and Equity." The
Company is considered a non-public entity, as defined by SFAS 150 because its
equity securities are not listed on a public exchange. Accordingly, for the
Company, the provisions of SFAS 150 will become effective during the quarter
ending March 31, 2004. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 150
would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
NOTE 4. RESTRICTED CASH
As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, restricted cash of $1.0
million represents U.S. Treasury Notes held in an escrow account for the benefit
of certain owners of land leased to Fitzgeralds Las Vegas. As of December 31,
2002, restricted cash of $250,000 represents a letter of credit for self-insured
workers compensation at Fitzgeralds Tunica and Fitzgeralds Black Hawk. As of
September 30, 2003 the restricted cash balance relating to the self-insured
workers compensation increased to $500,000. The increase occurred during the
first quarter of 2003, when Fitzgeralds Las Vegas was added to the self-insured
workers compensation program.
NOTE 5. INVESTMENT IN BUFFINGTON HARBOR RIVERBOATS, L.L.C. ("BHR")
In October 1995, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and Trump Indiana, Inc.
("Trump") entered into the First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of BHR
for the purpose of acquiring and developing certain facilities for the gaming
operations in Gary ("BHR Property"). BHR is responsible for the management,
development and operation of the BHR Property. The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and
Trump have each entered into a berthing agreement with BHR to use BHR Property
for their respective gaming operations and have committed to pay cash operating
losses of BHR as additional berthing fees. The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and
Trump share equally in the operating expenses relating to the BHR Property,
except for costs associated with food and beverage, and valet operations, which
are allocated on a percentage of use by the casino customers of the Majestic
Star Casino and Trump.
Majestic Star Casino paid $1.5 million and $4.1 million, in berthing fees for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to
$1.4 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002, respectively. Such amounts are recorded in general and administrative
expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, Majestic Star

and $524,000, for costs associated with food and beverage for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $303,000 and
$757,000, for costs associated with food and beverage for the three and nine
month ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Such amounts are recorded in
casino expenses in Majestic Star Casino's statements of operations. After
Majestic Star Casino and Trump reimburse BHR for all cash operational losses,
the remaining net loss of BHR results from depreciation expense associated with
the BHR property. Majestic Star Casino reclassified its allocated portion of
BHR's net loss into loss on investment in Buffington Harbor Riverboats, LLC.
Previously, such amounts were recorded within depreciation expense in Majestic
Star Casino's statements of operations. The allocated net loss recorded for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 is $595,000 and $1,795,000,
respectively, compared to $600,000 and $1,806,000, respectively, for the three

NOTE 7. LONG-TERM DEBT
Refinancing of Debt
On August 26, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC commenced a cash
tender offer and consent solicitation at a price of 105.438% for its 10-7/8%
Senior Secured Notes. The solicitation of consents sought approval for
amendments to the Indenture governing the 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes (the
"Majestic Indenture") in order to (i) eliminate substantially all restrictive
covenants and (ii) to release the liens on the collateral that secured the
10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes. Upon expiration of the consent solicitation on
September 25, 2003, $74,639,000 or 57.4% of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes had been tendered. The Majestic Star
Casino, LLC funded the payment of the tendered 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes,
along with accrued and unpaid interest, from the proceeds of the issuance of the
9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes, which closed on October 7, 2003. Also, on October
7, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC called the remaining $55,361,000
outstanding principal amount of the 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes which were
redeemed on November 6, 2003 at a price of 105.438%, plus accrued and unpaid
interest.
Also, on August 26, 2003, Majestic Investor Holdings commenced a cash
tender offer and consent solicitation at a price of 109.0% for its 11.653%
Senior Secured Notes. The solicitation of consents sought approval for
amendments to the Indenture governing the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes (the
"Majestic Investor Holdings Indenture") in order to (i) eliminate substantially
all restrictive covenants, (ii) to terminate the guarantees of the restricted
subsidiaries of Majestic Investor Holdings and (iii) to release the liens on the
collateral that secured the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes. Upon expiration of the
11
THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
consent solicitation on September 25, 2003, $135,477,000 or 89.3% of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes had
been tendered. The Company funded the payment of the tendered 11.653% Senior
Secured Notes, along with accrued and unpaid interest, from the proceeds of the
issuance of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes, which closed on October 7, 2003.
After the expiration of the offer and consent solicitation related to the
11.653% Senior Secured Notes, Majestic Investor Holdings has $16.3 million in
11.653% Senior Secured Notes still outstanding.
Upon the closing of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes, the Company used
$153.2 million to retire 89.3% of its 11.653% Senior Secured Notes, along with
accrued and unpaid interest, $80.9 million to redeem 57.4% of its 10-7/8% Senior
Secured Notes, along with accrued and unpaid interest. $4.2 million was used for
expenses related to the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes offering as well as expenses
related to the establishment of a new $80 million Credit Facility. $21.7 million
from the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes plus $28.0 million from the $80 million
Credit Facility, along with the Company's cash were used to redeem the remaining
10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes on November 6, 2003. The Company recognized a loss
on the retirement of debt of $32.0 million on October 7, 2003. The loss on the
retirement is comprised of premiums on the offers to purchase, the write-off of
deferred issuance costs and the write-off of original issuance discount on the
10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes and 11.653% Senior Secured Notes, which amounts
will be reflected in the computation of net income for the fourth quarter and
for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of
9.5% payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2004.
The 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes will mature on October 15, 2010. The 9-1/2%
Senior Secured Notes are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the
Company's current and future assets, other than the assets of Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas (which has become an unrestricted subsidiary of The Majestic Star Casino,
LLC). It is anticipated that Fitzgeralds Las Vegas will be spun out to BDI
promptly after Majestic Investor Holdings, the direct owner of the operating
subsidiary of Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, and BDI receive approval from the Nevada
Gaming Commission and the Nevada Gaming Control Board to effect such
transaction. Approval is anticipated to occur in December 2003.
Upon a Change of Control as defined in the Indenture governing the
9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes (the "9-1/2% Indenture"), the Company will be
required to offer to repurchase all of the outstanding 9-1/2% Senior Secured
Notes at a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of repurchase.
The 9-1/2% Indenture contains covenants which, among other things,
restricts the Company's ability to (i) make certain payments to, or investments
in, third parties; (ii) incur additional indebtedness or liens on any assets;
(iii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (iv) sell any restricted
subsidiaries' assets.
Concurrently with the closing of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes, the
Company established the $80 million Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Foothill,
Inc., and terminated
12
THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
the two existing credit facilities with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. Subject to
certain exceptions, the $80 million Credit Facility is secured by a first
priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company except the
assets of Fitzgeralds Las Vegas. Borrowings under the $80 million Credit
Facility bear interest at the Company's choice of LIBOR plus a range of 3.00% to
3.50% or Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc.'s base rate plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75%.
The range is based on the Company's EBITDA (as defined in the loan and security
agreement) and losses that occur from the early retirement of debt during the
three-month period ended December 31, 2003. The Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. base
rate approximates the prime rate. Full payment of any outstanding balance under
the $80 million Credit Facility is due upon termination of the agreement in
October 2007. The credit agreement includes covenants, which among other things,
(i) require the Company to maintain, as defined in the covenants, minimum EBITDA
and Interest Coverage Ratios, which increase periodically, (ii) restrict the
Company's ability to incur, assume, or guarantee any indebtedness, and (iii)
restrict the Company's ability to transfer or sell assets, including the equity
interest of the restricted subsidiaries.
Intercreditor Agreements
In connection with the Company entering into the $80 million Credit
Facility, the trustee under the 9-1/2% Indenture (as collateral agent) entered
into an intercreditor agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., the agent under
the $80 million Credit Facility. The intercreditor agreement provides for the
contractual subordination of the liens on the collateral securing the 9-1/2%
Senior Secured Notes (and the related guarantees) to the liens on the collateral
securing the indebtedness under the $80 million Credit Facility.
The intercreditor agreement, among other things, limits the trustee's
rights in an event of default under the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes. Under the
intercreditor agreement, if the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes become due and
payable prior to the stated maturity or are not paid in full at the stated
maturity at a time during which there is indebtedness outstanding under the $80
million Credit Facility, the trustee will not have the right to foreclose upon
the collateral unless and until the lenders under the $80 million Credit
Facility fail to take steps to exercise remedies with respect to or in
connection with the collateral within up to 190 days following notice to such
lenders of the occurrence of an event of default under the 9-1/2% Indenture. In
addition, the intercreditor agreement prevents the trustee and the holders of
the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes from pursuing certain remedies with respect to
the collateral in an insolvency proceeding. The intercreditor agreement also
provides that the net proceeds from the sale of the collateral will first be
applied to repay indebtedness outstanding under the $80 million Credit Facility
and thereafter to the holders of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes.
Old Majestic Star and Majestic Investor Holdings Notes
At September 30, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC, had debt
outstanding of $129.1 million, net of unamortized discount of $878,000, compared
to debt of $128.9 million, net of unamortized discount of $1.1 million at
December 31, 2002. The 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes bore interest at a fixed
rate of 10-7/8% per annum payable

THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
January 1 and July 1 each year. Also, at September 30, 2003, Majestic Investor
Holdings, had debt outstanding of $146.5 million, net of unamortized discount of
$5.3 million compared to debt of $145.5 million, net of unamortized discount of
$6.3 million at December 31, 2002. The 11.653% Senior Secured Notes bear
interest at a fixed rate of 11.653% per annum payable May 31 and November 30
each year. Fitzgeralds Las Vegas had debt of $135,000 for a capital lease. For
the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the
Company had interest expense of $23.9 million and $24.4 million, respectively.
In 2002, Majestic Investor Holdings was required to pay liquidated
damages related to the unregistered 11.653% Senior Secured Notes. Majestic
Investor Holdings entered into a registration rights agreement that required
Majestic Investor Holdings to file a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to exchange its unregistered 11.653% Senior Secured
Notes with registered 11.653% Senior Secured Notes and that required such
registration statement to be declared effective prior to a specified date. There
were delays in filing the registration statement and such registration statement
was not declared effective by such specified date, which caused Majestic
Investor Holdings to pay liquidated damages of $176,000 during 2002. The
registration statement for the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes was declared
effective on August 8, 2002.
During the fourth quarter 2002, Majestic Investor Holdings purchased
for $759,000, plus accrued interest, its 11.653% Senior Secured Notes with a
face value of $865,000. The notes, net of unamortized original issue discount,
were being carried at a value of $828,000; the resulting gain was $69,000.
Old Credit Facilities
At September 30, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC had a $20.0
million credit facility (the "Majestic Credit Facility") and Majestic Investor
Holdings had a $15.0 million credit facility (the "Majestic Investor Holdings
Credit Facility"). These credit facilities were replaced with the $80 million
Credit Facility. There were no borrowings on the Majestic Credit Facility or the
Majestic Investor Holdings Credit Facility as of September 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002.
NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
Various legal proceedings are pending against the Company. Management
considers all such pending proceedings, comprised primarily of personal injury
and equal employment opportunity (EEO) claims, to be routine litigation
incidental to the Company's business. Management believes that the resolution of
these proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate, have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.

THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
On May 11 and 12, 2000, the Company was issued notices of proposed
assessment by the Indiana Department of Revenue for income tax withholding
deficiencies for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1998. The Indiana
Department of Revenue has taken the position that Indiana gross wagering tax
must be added back to the Company's income for the purpose of determining the
Indiana adjusted gross income tax on the Company's non-resident member, and that
the Company had the duty to withhold and remit adjusted gross income tax payable
by its non-resident member. The tax deficiency assessed for 1996 and 1998 totals
$553,744, plus accrued interest. On February 10, 2003, the Company was issued
notices of proposed assessment by the Indiana Department of Revenue for income
tax withholding deficiencies for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and
2001, concerning the same issue. The tax deficiency assessed for 1999-2001
totals $2,012,397 plus accrued interest. The Company has filed administrative
protests and demands for hearing with the Department of Revenue to protect its
rights with respect to all tax years. However, it is too early to determine the
outcome of these contested tax assessments.
Gaming Regulations
The ownership and operation of riverboat gaming operations in Indiana
are subject to strict state regulation under the Riverboat Gambling Act ("the
Act") and the administrative rules promulgated thereunder. The Indiana Gaming
Commission ("IGC") is empowered to administer, regulate and enforce the system
of riverboat gaming established under the Act and has jurisdiction and
supervision over all riverboat gaming operations in Indiana, as well as all
persons on riverboats where gaming operations are conducted. The IGC is
empowered to regulate a wide variety of gaming and non-gaming related
activities, including the licensing of supplies to, and employees at, riverboat
gaming operations and to approve the form of entity qualifiers and intermediary
and holding companies. The IGC has broad rulemaking power, and it is impossible
to predict what effect, if any, the amendment of existing rules or the
finalization of proposed rules might have on the Company's operations.
A change in the Indiana state law governing gaming took effect on July
1, 2002. The new law enables Indiana's riverboat casinos to operate dockside.
The IGC approved Majestic Star's flexible boarding plan that allows the
continuous ingress and egress of patrons for the purpose of gambling while the
riverboat is docked. The plan went into effect on August 5, 2002 and imposes a
graduated wagering tax based upon adjusted gross receipts. As discussed below in
"Retroactive Dockside Tax," the graduated wagering tax has a starting rate of
15% with a top rate of 35% for adjusted gross receipts in excess of $150
million. For the period July 1 through August 4, 2002, the wagering tax was
raised by statute to 22.5% of adjusted gross receipts, but, as discussed below
in "Retroactive Dockside Tax," has been recently modified. Prior to July 1,
2002, Indiana gaming taxes were levied on adjusted gross receipts, as defined by
Indiana gaming laws, at the rate of 20%. In addition to the wagering tax, an
admissions tax of $3 per turnstile count is assessed. Prior to August 5, 2002,
Indiana imposed an admissions tax of $3 per patron turnstile count at every
boarding time plus the count of the patrons that stayed over on the vessel from
a previous boarding time period.
15
THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Effective July 1, 2003, a licensed riverboat owner who implements
flexible scheduling can conduct gambling operations for up to 24 hours per day
upon receiving IGC approval. Under prior IGC rules, riverboat casinos were
required to close for three hours daily. The Majestic Star Casino's plan for
24-Hour Dockside Gaming was submitted to the IGC and approved. The Majestic Star
Casino began operating on 24-hour basis on July 11, 2003.
In June 2003, the Indiana legislature clarified the start date of the
graduated wagering tax structure associated with the implementation of dockside
gaming. Previously, the start date for the computation of cumulative adjusted
gross receipts from gaming revenues ("AGR") under the graduated tax structure
was August 1, 2002 for seven riverboat casinos that implemented dockside gaming
with flexible scheduling on that date; and August 5, 2002, for three riverboat
casinos that implemented dockside gaming with flexible scheduling on that date.
The Indiana legislature's recent clarification requires riverboat casinos to
begin recognizing gaming tax liabilities for cumulative AGR under the graduated
tax structure starting on July 1, 2002 if they implemented dockside gaming at
any point in time. In addition, the State of Indiana's position is that no
credit be provided for taxes previously paid for the period July 1, 2002 through
July 31, 2002 for seven riverboat casinos and July 1, 2002 through August 4,
2002 for three riverboat casinos. For these periods, the statutory tax on AGR
was 22.5%. As a result of the "Retroactive Dockside Tax," the Indiana Department
of Revenue has assessed an additional $2,072,000 of gaming taxes due from the
Majestic Star Casino. The Majestic Star Casino has taken a charge in the three
month period ended June 30, 2003 for this assessment. The $2,072,000 assessment
is required to be paid in two equal installments on July 1, 2003 and July 1,
2004. All penalties and interest due from Majestic Star Casino on the
"Retroactive Dockside Tax" assessments are waived as long as Majestic Star
Casino pays 50% of their applicable assessments on July 1, 2003 and July 1,
2004. The Majestic Star Casino paid 50% of the $2,072,000 assessment to Indiana
Department of Revenue on July 1, 2003.
The ownership and operation of our casino gaming facilities in Nevada,
Mississippi and Colorado are also 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.
Pursuant to new legislation signed into law by the Governor of Nevada on July
23, 2003, the license fees on the number of gaming devices operated has been
increased effective immediately, increased taxes on gross revenues became
effective on August 1, 2003, and the expanded range of events covered by the
casino entertainment tax became effective September 1, 2003. Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas also become subject to a payroll tax based on wages paid to its employees
effective October 1, 2003. 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
16
THE MAJESTIC STAR CASINO, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Division of Gaming within the Colorado Department of Revenue and the Colorado
Limited Gaming Control Commission which is empowered 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, in Colorado a statewide ballot measure which would have
allowed the installation of up to five hundred video lottery terminals at each
of five designated dog and horse racetracks along Colorado's front range was
rejected by the voters in Colorado on November 4, 2003.
The Company's directors, officers, managers and key employees are
required to hold individual licenses. These requirements vary from jurisdiction
to jurisdiction. Licenses and permits for gaming operations and for 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.
Other Contingencies
In September of 2000, AMB Parking, LLC, (a limited liability company
indirectly owned by Don. H. Barden, Chairman and CEO of The Majestic Star
Casino, LLC) and Trump Indiana, Inc. (the "Joint Venture Partner") entered into
an Operating Agreement to form Buffington Harbor Parking Associates, LLC
("BHPA"). The limited liability company was formed for the purpose of acquiring
land, and constructing and operating a 2,000 space-parking garage which is
leased to Majestic Star and the Joint Venture Partner. The Majestic Star Casino
and the Joint Venture Partner have each entered into parallel operating lease
agreements with BHPA, each having a term until December 31, 2018. The rent
payable under both leases is intended to service the additional debt incurred by
BHPA. Majestic Star Casino is recognizing $9,462,815 of advances made at the
inception of the lease as prepaid lease expense. Majestic Star Casino, LLC is
amortizing its prepaid lease over the term of the operating lease agreement. The
lease agreement calls for the Majestic Star Casino, LLC and the Joint Venture
Partner to make monthly lease payments equal to 100% of BHPA's debt service
requirement for the following month, although each party is entitled to a credit
for 50% of such payment if the other party makes its monthly payment.
Majestic Investor Holdings received assessments of additional amounts
due related to insurance premiums paid for the period December 6, 2001 through
December 6, 2002. The premiums, totaling $160,000, related to an audit by the
insurance carrier of Majestic Investor Holdings' workers compensation and
general liability plans. Majestic Investor Holdings has settled with the
insurance carrier for $90,000 and has recorded the liability.
On August 28, 2003, Majestic Star Casino and the Seafarers
Entertainment & Allied Trades Union signed a collective bargaining agreement
that will expire in four years and calls for annual salary adjustments of
approximately 3.5% over the course of the agreement.

of the operating subsidiary of Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, and BDI receive approval
from the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission. Approval

all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of these restricted
subsidiaries and equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior
indebtedness of these restricted subsidiaries. As explained in Note 7 to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, these guarantees were terminated
after September 30, 2003, in connection with a consent solicitation.

General
The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries,
is a multi-jurisdictional gaming company that directly owns and operates one
riverboat gaming facility located in Gary, Indiana (the "Majestic Star Casino")
and through its wholly owned subsidiary, Majestic Investor Holdings, LLC
("Majestic Investor Holdings" or "Investor Holdings") owns three
Fitzgeralds-brand casino-hotels located in Tunica County, Mississippi
("Fitzgeralds Tunica"), Black Hawk, Colorado (casino only) ("Fitzgeralds Black
Hawk"), and Las Vegas, Nevada ("Fitzgeralds Las Vegas").
The Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Majestic Star Casino, LLC, was originally formed for the purpose of
facilitating The Majestic Star Casino, LLC's $130 million 10-7/8% Senior Secured
Notes due 2006 (the "10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes") and Majestic Investor
Capital Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Majestic Investor Holdings, was
formed specifically to facilitate the offering of the Majestic Investor
Holding's $152.6 million 11.653% Senior Secured Notes due 2007 (the "11.653%
Senior Secured Notes"). Both The Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp. and Majestic
Investor Capital Corp. do not have any assets or operations. All of the 10-7/8%
Senior Secured Notes and $135.5 million of the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes have
been redeemed or retired. Please see our discussion below and in Note 7 to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the
issuance of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and the establishment of the $80.0
million Credit Facility.
Except where otherwise noted, the words "we," "us," "our" and similar
terms, as well as the "Company" refer to The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and all
of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
On August 26, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and Majestic Investor
Holdings, commenced cash tender offers and consent solicitations for Majestic
Star's 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes and Majestic Investor Holdings' 11.653%
Senior Secured Notes, respectively, in connection with a refinancing transaction
of such notes. On October 7, 2003, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC and its
restricted subsidiary, the Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp., issued $260.0
million of 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 (the "9-1/2% Senior Secured
Notes") and entered into a new $80.0 million credit facility (the "$80 million
Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. The proceeds from the issuance
of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and approximately $28.0 million of the $80
million Credit Facility were used to retire all of the 10-7/8% Senior Secured
Notes and substantially all of the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes. As part of the
refinancing, the operating subsidiaries of Fitzgeralds Tunica and Fitzgeralds
Black Hawk are guarantors under both the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and the $80
million Credit Facility; however, the operating subsidiary of Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas is now an unrestricted subsidiary of the Company. It is anticipated that
Fitzgeralds Las Vegas will be spun out to Barden Development, Inc. ("BDI")
promptly after Majestic Investor Holdings, the direct owner of Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas, and BDI receive approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the
Nevada Gaming Commission. Approval is anticipated to occur in December 2003.
Please see Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information about the issuance of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes and the $80.0
million Credit Facility.

============================ ============================
1. Operating income includes a retroactive charge related to dockside gaming
at Majestic Star Casino of $2,072,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003. The charge relates to the recognition of additional gaming tax
liability associated with the State of Indiana's clarification of the start
date for paying gaming taxes under the current tiered tax structure.
Indiana's clarification now provides that a casino operating dockside will
pay taxes under the tiered structure effective July 1, 2002. Previously,
Majestic Star Casino began paying taxes under the tiered tax structure the
date it commenced dockside gaming on August 5, 2002.

THIRD QUARTER 2003 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2002
Gross revenues were $84,233,000 and net revenues were $78,320,000 for
the third quarter 2003, a decrease of 4.4% and 4.6%, respectively, from gross
revenues of $88,114,000 and net revenues of $82,110,000 for the same period in
2002. The Company's business can be separated into four operating departments:
casino, food and beverage, rooms (except for Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and Majestic
Star Casino) and other. Casino revenues represented 87.3% and 88.2% of gross
revenues for the third quarter 2003 and 2002, respectively. Casino revenues (of
which 86.6% and 85.7% were derived from slot machine revenues for the third
quarter 2003 and 2002, respectively) decreased 5.4% to $73,534,000 for the third
quarter 2003 from $77,690,000 for the third quarter 2002. At Fitzgeralds Black
Hawk, Fitzgeralds Tunica and Majestic Star Casino, casino revenues decreased
8.8%, 8.4% and 3.7%, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to
remodeling disruption on the casino floors at Majestic Star Casino and
Fitzgeralds Tunica and lower business volumes at Fitzgeralds Tunica and
Fitzgeralds Black Hawk. The Company believes that in the third quarter of 2003,
both the Tunica and Black Hawk markets experienced weakness. Also, Fitzgeralds
Black Hawk continues to focus on higher margin guests. As a result, revenues
have declined from the lower margin guests that Fitzgeralds Black Hawk no longer
includes in its marketing and promotion plan.
Room revenues increased 1.4% to $3,863,000 for the third quarter 2003,
from $3,809,000 for the same period in 2002. Room revenues increased 0.5% at
Fitzgeralds Las Vegas as the average daily rate increase of 6.3% was offset by a
decrease in the average occupancy rate, which decreased to 83.9% for the third
quarter 2003 from 88.7% in the third quarter 2002. At Fitzgeralds Tunica, room
revenues increased 2.1% as the average daily rate increase of 2.2% was offset by
a decrease in the average occupancy rate to 97.3% for the third quarter 2003
from 97.7% for the same period in 2002. Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and Majestic Star
Casino do not operate hotels.
Food and beverage revenues increased 7.0% to $5,442,000 for third
quarter 2003. Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and Fitzgeralds
Tunica experienced revenue increases of 17.9%, 7.7% and 1.4%, respectively. The
increase in food and beverage revenues at Fitzgeralds Las Vegas and Fitzgeralds
Black Hawk was primarily due to price increases in beverages provided to our
guests. In addition, Fitzgeralds Las Vegas has been able to increase beverage
sales by operating a remote bar on the Fremont Street Experience mall during
event periods. Food and beverage revenues at Majestic Star Casino decreased
10.3% or $42,000 for the third quarter 2003.
33
Other revenues decreased 8.8% or $135,000 to $1,394,000 for the third
quarter 2003 from $1,529,000 for the third quarter 2002 primarily due to lower
complimentary gift shop sales associated with the elimination of the O'Lucky
Buck program in the third quarter 2002 at Fitzgeralds Las Vegas. As a result of
the elimination of the O'Lucky Buck program, players of Fitzgeralds Las Vegas
were motivated to redeem their O'Lucky Bucks before they expired.
Promotional allowances include cash based player awards related to
gaming activity and are recorded as a reduction to gross revenue. In addition,
the retail value of rooms, food and beverage, and other services furnished to
hotel and or casino guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then
deducted as promotional allowances. Promotional allowances decreased 1.5% or
$91,000 to $5,913,000 for the third quarter 2003 from $6,004,000 for the third
quarter 2002.
Total operating costs and expenses decreased 1.5% to $71,651,000 for
the third quarter 2003 from $72,717,000 for the third quarter 2002. Casino
expenses were $25,721,000 for the third quarter 2003, a 5.9% decrease from
$27,342,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily due to lower
expenses related to lease and rental expenses of slot machines, the cost of
complimentaries provided to casino guests, payroll and payroll related expenses,
and lower casino volumes.
Room expenses decreased 1.2% or $21,000 to $1,696,000 for the third
quarter 2003 from $1,717,000 for the third quarter 2002.
Food and beverage expenses decreased 4.8% or $145,000 to $2,900,000 for
the third quarter 2003 from $3,045,000 for the third quarter 2002. Fitzgeralds
Black Hawk's food and beverage expenses decreased $174,000 primarily due to
lower cost of sales and payroll expenses and a reduction in the cost of
complimentaries provided by the food and beverage departments to the casino.
Gaming taxes were $14,252,000 for the third quarter 2003, compared to
$13,909,000 for the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily due to the
higher tax structure in Indiana resulting from the implementation of dockside
gaming in August 2002 at Majestic Star Casino. In the third quarter of 2002,
Majestic Star Casino paid gaming taxes under two different tax structures. These
two different tax structures in the third quarter of 2002 resulted in a lower
effective tax rate than that computed for the third quarter of 2003. The tiered
tax structure for the third quarter of 2003 resulted in $696,000 of additional
taxes paid by Majestic Star Casino, which was off set by decreases at
Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and Fitzgeralds Tunica due to lower casino revenues.
Below is a more detailed discussion on Indiana's modified tax structure.
For the period July 1, 2002 through August 4, 2002, gaming taxes at
Majestic Star Casino were levied on adjusted gross receipts, as defined by
Indiana gaming laws, at a flat rate of 22.5%. Beginning August 5, 2002, in
connection with the commencement of dockside gaming at Majestic Star Casino,
Majestic Star Casino began paying gaming taxes following a graduated tax
structure with a starting rate of 15% and a top rate of 35% for adjusted gross
receipts in excess of $150 million. Based upon the tiered tax structure,
Majestic Star Casino has estimated an effective tax rate and has been accruing
gaming taxes based upon this effective tax rate. The effective tax rate during
the third quarter
34
2003 was higher than the actual and effective rates during the third quarter
2002 when Majestic Star Casino recognized gaming tax expenses under the two
different methods mentioned previously.
Advertising and promotional expenses for the third quarter 2003 were
$5,147,000, compared to $5,016,000 for the third quarter 2002. At Fitzgeralds
Las Vegas, advertising and promotional expenses increased $776,000. In the third
quarter 2002, Fitzgeralds Las Vegas benefited from the elimination of the
accrual for earned and unredeemed O'Lucky Bucks. The increase at Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas was offset by decreases of $238,000 and $354,000 at Fitzgeralds Black Hawk
and Majestic Star Casino, respectively, due to less spent on advertising and
marketing programs.
General and administrative expenses increased $505,000 or 3.6% to
$14,569,000 for the third quarter 2003 from $14,063,000 for the third quarter
2002 primarily as a result of the Company's efforts to oppose the video lottery
terminal ("VLT") initiative at five racetracks along Colorado's front range. In
the third quarter 2003, the Company expensed $179,000 for contributions to
defeat the initiative. The Company also recognized $250,000 of additional
corporate expense in the third quarter of 2003 versus the third quarter of 2002.
The additional expense comes from the building of our corporate executive team.
In addition, Majestic Star Casino incurred parking garage lease expenses of
$512,000 and $389,000 for the third quarter 2003 and 2002, respectively, an
increase of $123,000. Lastly, Fitzgeralds Las Vegas experienced increases
primarily due to additional payroll and payroll related expenses and an increase
in accruals for legal claims and settlements. However, the aforementioned
increases were offset by a $203,000 decrease at Fitzgeralds Tunica, primarily as
a result of lower payroll related expenses.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 6.4% or $353,000 to $5,203,000
for the third quarter 2003 from $5,555,000 for the third quarter 2002. The
decrease is primarily attributable to machinery and equipment being fully
depreciated at Majestic Star Casino and reduced amortization expense at
Fitzgeralds Las Vegas.
Operating income was $6,669,000 for the third quarter 2003 compared to
$9,393,000 for the third quarter 2002. The $2,724,000, or 29.0%, decrease in
operating income is attributable to a 4.6% or $3,790,000 decrease in net revenue
offset by a 1.5% or $1,066,000 decrease in total operating expenses. Operating
income for the third quarter of 2003 includes $179,000 paid by the Company to
defeat the initiative in Colorado to legalize VLTs at five racetracks along
Colorado's front range and $250,000 for incremental corporate expenses.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net loss was $1,326,000 for
the third quarter 2003 compared to net income of $1,319,000 for the third
quarter 2002.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2002
Gross revenues were $252,709,000 and net revenues were $234,995,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, a decrease of 0.8% and 0.6%,
respectively, from gross revenues of $254,794,000 and net revenues of
$236,505,000 for the same period in 2002. The Company's business can be
separated into four operating departments: casino, food and beverage, rooms
(except for Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and
35
Majestic Star Casino) and other. Casino revenues represented 87.6% and 87.7% of
gross revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Casino revenues (of which 86.2%
and 87.7% were derived from slot machine revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively)
decreased 0.8% to $221,442,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from
$223,251,000 for the same period in 2002. At Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and
Fitzgeralds Tunica casino revenues decreased 6.4% and 6.3%, respectively,
primarily due to lower business volumes offset by an increase in casino revenue
at Majestic Star Casino of 4.9% primarily due to dockside gaming which began in
August 2002 and the opening of the 2,000 space parking garage in May 2002. With
respect to Fitzgeralds Black Hawk, the property continues to focus on a higher
margin guest. As a result, the property has cut back on marketing and promotions
to lower margin and unprofitable guests. This decision has caused revenues to
decline from lower margin and unprofitable guests.
Room revenues decreased 5.0% to $11,247,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2003, from $11,837,000 for the same period in 2002. Room
revenues decreased 6.5% at Fitzgeralds Las Vegas as the average daily rate
increase of 0.9% was offset by a decrease in the average occupancy rate to 82.3%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 88.8% for the same period in
2002. At Fitzgeralds Tunica, room revenues decreased 3.7% due to a decrease of
both the average daily rate, which decreased 1.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 and a decrease in the average occupancy rate, which fell to
93.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 95.1% for the same
period in 2002. Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and Majestic Star Casino do not operate
hotels.
Food and beverage revenues increased 2.8% to $15,794,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 from $15,367,000 for the same period in 2002.
The increase in food and beverage revenues came primarily from Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas and Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and was mostly due to price increases in
beverages provided to our guests. In addition, Fitzgeralds Las Vegas has been
able to increase beverage sales by operating a remote bar on the Fremont Street
Experience mall during event periods. Food and beverage revenue increases at
Fitzgeralds Las Vegas totaled $617,000 or 11.2%, while Fitzgeralds Black Hawk
experienced revenue increases of 4.8% or $71,000. At Majestic Star Casino, food
and beverage revenues decreased 11.4% due to dockside gaming. Dockside gaming
allows guests to freely leave the riverboat to enjoy the restaurants and bars
located in the Buffington Harbor complex. Fitzgeralds Tunica experienced food
and beverage revenue decreases of 1.7% as a result of lower casino volumes at
the property.
Promotional allowances decreased $575,000 or 3.1% to $17,714,000 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $18,289,000 during the same period
in 2002. At Fitzgeralds Tunica, promotional allowances decreased 6.1% or
$663,000, primarily as a result of lower casino volumes. At Fitzgeralds Las
Vegas, promotional allowances decreased 5.5% primarily as a result of high
redemption of O'Lucky Bucks prior to the elimination of the program in the third
quarter of 2002. The decreases at Fitzgeralds Las Vegas and Fitzgeralds Tunica
were offset by increases at Majestic Star Casino of 47.6% or $298,000, which was
mainly due to greater complimentaries associated with higher casino volumes.
36
Total operating costs and expenses increased 1.0% to $210,866,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $208,852,000 for the same
period in 2002. Casino expenses were $75,826,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, a 2.5% decrease from $77,778,000 for the same period in
2002. At the Fitzgeralds properties, casino expenses decreased because of lower
casino volumes which resulted in reduced lease and rental expenses of slot
machines, lower payroll and payroll related expenses and lower cost of
complimentaries provided to the casino departments for food, beverage and rooms.
In addition, at Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, casino expenses decreased due to high
redemption of O'Lucky Bucks during the third quarter of 2002. The decreases in
casino expenses at the Fitzgeralds properties were offset by a $1,873,000
increase in casino expenses at Majestic Star Casino, which was primarily due to
increased casino volumes and greater expenses related to our cash based
marketing programs.
Room expenses decreased 1.9% to $4,883,000 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2003 from $4,976,000 during the same period in 2002. The
decline in room expenses is attributable to our lower hotel occupancies.
Food and beverage expenses decreased 3.6% to $8,766,000 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2003 from $9,093,000 during the same period in
2002. At Fitzgeralds Black Hawk, Fitzgeralds Tunica and Majestic Star Casino,
food and beverage expenses decreased $168,000, $136,000 and $115,000,
respectively. The reduced costs resulted from lower payroll and related expenses
and lower cost of sales during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003.
At Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, food and beverage expenses increased $93,000.
Gaming taxes were $44,455,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 2003, compared to $40,934,000 for the same period in 2002. The increase is
primarily due to the higher tiered tax structure in Indiana resulting from the
implementation of dockside gaming in August 2002 at Majestic Star Casino. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Majestic Star Casino paid gaming taxes
under three different tax structures. The three different tax structures for
2002 resulted in a lower effective tax rate than that computed for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2003. The tiered tax structure for the nine
month ended September 30, 2003 resulted in $2,566,000 of additional taxes paid
by Majestic Star Casino, which was offset by decreases in gaming taxes at
Fitzgeralds Tunica, Fitzgeralds Black Hawk and Fitzgeralds Las Vegas due to
lower casino revenues. In addition, Majestic Star Casino took a one-time charge
of $2,072,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 for "retroactive
dockside taxes." Below is a more detailed discussion on Indiana's modified tax
structure and the charge related to the three-month period ended June 30, 2003.
From January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, Indiana gaming taxes were levied
on adjusted gross receipts, as defined by Indiana gaming laws, at the rate of
20% plus $3 per passenger per the state passenger count. For the period July 1,
2002 through August 4, 2002, gaming taxes were levied on adjusted gross receipts
at a flat rate of 22.5%. Beginning August 5, 2002, in connection with the
commencement of dockside gaming at Majestic Star Casino, Majestic Star Casino
began paying gaming taxes following a graduated tax structure with a starting
rate of 15% and a top rate of 35% for adjusted gross receipts in excess of $150
million. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, Majestic Star Casino
calculated and paid gaming tax under three different methods. In the nine month
period ended September 30, 2003, Majestic Star Casino has only
37
accrued gaming tax expense under the tiered tax structure, which has required
Majestic Star Casino to calculate an estimated effective tax rate. The estimated
effective tax rate is higher in the nine month period ended September 30, 2003
than the combined actual and effective tax rates for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2002.
In addition to the higher effective tax rate as imposed by the tiered
gaming tax structure, the Indiana legislature clarified the start date of the
tiered gaming tax structure associated with the implementation of dockside
gaming. Previously, the starting date for the computation of cumulative casino
revenues under the tiered tax structure was August 1, 2002 for seven riverboat
casinos that implemented dockside gaming on that date; and August 5, 2002, for
three riverboat casinos, including Majestic Star Casino, that implemented
dockside gaming on that date. The Indiana legislature's clarification requires
riverboat casinos to begin recognizing gaming tax liabilities for cumulative
casino revenues under the tiered tax structure starting on July 1, 2002 if they
implemented dockside gaming at any point in time. In addition, no credit was
provided for taxes previously paid by Majestic Star Casino for the period July
1, 2002 through August 4, 2002. For this period the statutory tax on casino
revenues was 22.5%. As a result of this retroactive dockside tax, the Indiana
Department of Revenue has assessed an additional $2,072,000 of gaming taxes due
from Majestic Star Casino. During the three-months ended June 30, 2003, Majestic
Star Casino took a charge for this assessment. The $2,072,000 assessment is
required to be paid in two equal installments, on July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004.
All penalties and interest due from Majestic Star Casino on the retroactive
dockside tax assessment are waived as long as Majestic Star Casino pays 50% of
its applicable assessments on July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004. Majestic Star
Casino paid the $1,036,000 assessment to Indiana Department of Revenue on July
1, 2003.
Advertising and promotional expenses for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2003 were $14,894,000, compared to $14,890,000 during the same
period in 2002. At Fitzgeralds Las Vegas, advertising and promotional expense
increased $788,000 primarily as a result of eliminating the accrual for earned
and unredeemed O'Lucky Bucks in the third quarter of 2002. The increase at
Fitzgeralds Las Vegas was offset by reduced expenses at Fitzgeralds Black Hawk
and lower direct mail and guest development costs at Fitzgeralds Tunica.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,085,000 or 2.8% to
$40,414,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 from $39,329,000
during the same period in 2002. The increased expenses are due partially to
increased corporate expenses of $811,000 and greater parking garage lease
expenses of $1,024,000. The higher corporate expenses result from payroll,
payroll related and relocation expenses associated with building our corporate
staff. Majestic Star Casino began recognizing lease expense associated with the
opening of Buffington Harbor's 2,000 space parking garage in May of 2002.
Majestic Star Casino has recognized four additional months of lease expense in
the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. In addition, the Company has
expensed $179,000 it has contributed to a campaign that defeated the video
lottery terminal initiative at five racetracks along Colorado's front range on
November 4, 2003. Lastly, Majestic Star Casino, has recognized $426,000 less in
expenses associated with the operation of Buffington Harbor Riverboat, LLC
during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. The Majestic Star Casino
Casino LLC is a 50% joint venture partner with Trump Indiana in the operation of
the Buffington Harbor facility.
38
Depreciation and amortization decreased to $15,373,000 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2003 from $15,791,000 during the same period in
2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to machinery and equipment being
fully depreciated at Majestic Star Casino.
Operating income was $24,130,000 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2003 compared to $27,653,000 for the same period in 2002. The
$3,523,000, or 12.7%, decrease in operating income is principally attributed to
a combination of 0.6% or $1,510,000 decrease in net revenues and a $2,014,000
increase in total operating expenses. Operating income for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2003 includes the retroactive dockside gaming tax charge of
$2,072,000, $811,000 of additional corporate expenses and $1,540,000 for lease
expenses related to the 2,000 space parking garage at Majestic Star. In the nine
month period ended September 30, 2002, Majestic Star incurred expenses related
to the parking garage of $516,000.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income was $80,000 for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to $3,290,000 for the
same period in 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2003, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents of $35,256,000, compared to $24,548,000 at December 31, 2002. As of
September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company has met its capital requirements to
date through net cash from operating activities. The Company's net cash provided
by operating activities was $26,391,000 and $22,191,000 during the nine month
period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net cash used in
investing activities was $11,771,000 and $4,941,000 during the nine month period
ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In the nine month period ended
September 30, 2002, investing activities provided cash of $3,800,000 from a
purchase price adjustment related to the purchase of the Fitzgeralds Properties.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3,912,000 and $10,836,000 during the
nine month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In the nine
month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company borrowed $2,500,000 and
repaid $9,000,000 from Majestic Investor Holding's Credit Facility. At September
30, 2002, the Company did not have any amounts borrowed against the Majestic
Credit Facility or the Majestic Investor Holdings Credit Facility.
Management believes that the Company's cash flow from operations and
its current lines 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 11.653% notes and 9-1/2% Senior
Secured Notes, lease payments to BHPA and other permitted indebtedness for the
year 2003. No assurance can be given, however, that such proceeds and operating
cash flow, in light of increased competition, will be sufficient for such
purposes. The purchase of certain Indiana gaming facilities by larger more
recognized brand names could significantly increase competition for the Company.
On October 7, 2003, the Company issued $260,000,000 of 9-1/2%
39
Senior Secured Notes and concurrently entered into an $80,000,000 Credit
Facility. If necessary and to the extent permitted under the Indenture governing
the 9-1/2% Senior Secured Notes, the Company will seek additional financing
through borrowings of 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 issued
statement 145 ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 addresses the presentation for gains and
losses on early retirements of debt in the statement of operations. SFAS 145 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted
SFAS 145 and as a result, reclassified $69,000 in a gain from the early
extinguishment of debt, which item had previously been reported as an
extraordinary item in the fourth quarter of 2002. In the fourth quarter of 2003,
the Company also expects to recognize a loss on the retirement of debt of $32.0
million on October 7, 2003. The loss on the retirement of debt is comprised of
the premium on the offers to purchase, the write-off of the deferred debt
issuance costs and the original issue discount on the 10-7/8% Senior Secured
Notes and the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes, which amounts will be reflected in
the computation of net income for the year ended December 31, 2003.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement
146 ("SFAS 146") "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities." The provisions of SFAS 146 became effective for exit or disposal
activities commenced subsequent to December 31, 2002. Adoption of SFAS 146 did
not have any material impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others."
FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim
and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees
that it has issued. It also clarifies (for guarantees issued after January 1,
2003) that a guarantor is required to recognize at the inception of a guarantee,
a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the
guarantee. At September 30, 2003, the Company did not have any guarantees
outside of its consolidated group. Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities."
FIN 46 addresses the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate
related entities in which they are determined to be the primary economic
beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interests. FIN 46 is intended
to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in
determining the primary beneficiary. FIN 46 outlines disclosure requirements for
Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") in existence prior to January 31, 2003, and
outlines consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The
Company has reviewed its major relationships and its overall
40
economic interests with other companies consisting of related parties, companies
in which it has an equity position and other suppliers to determine the extent
of its variable economic interest in these parties. Adoption of FIN 46 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 ("SFAS 149") "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Provisions of
SFAS 149 became effective for contracts and hedging relationships entered into
or modified after June 30, 2003. Adoption of SFAS 149 did not have any material
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the
Company has not entered into or modified any agreements that contain derivative
instrument or involve hedging activities.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 ("SFAS 150") "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristic of both Liabilities and Equity." The
Company is considered a non-public entity, as defined by SFAS 150 because its
equity securities are not listed on a public exchange. Accordingly, for the
Company, the provisions of SFAS 150 will become effective during the quarter
ending March 31, 2004. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 150
would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

OTHER INFORMATION

amount of the 10-7/8% Senior Secured Notes had been tendered. The Majestic Star

Indenture") in order to (i) eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants,
(ii) to terminate the guarantees of the restricted subsidiaries of Majestic
Investor Holdings and (iii) to release the liens on the collateral that secured

amount of the 11.653% Senior Secured Notes had been tendered. The Company funded
the payment of the tendered 11.653% Senior Secured Notes, along with accrued and
unpaid interest, from the proceeds of the issuance of the 9-1/2% Senior Secured
Notes, which closed on October 7, 2003. After the expiration of the offer and
