Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2012

Note 1. Organization, Background and Bankruptcy Considerations

Organization

Greektown Holdings, L.L.C. (“Greektown Holdings”) was formed in September 2005 as a limited liability company owned by Kewadin Greektown Casino, L.L.C. (“Kewadin Greektown”), which was 100% owned by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians (the “Tribe”) and Monroe Partners, L.L.C. (“Monroe”). Greektown Holdings owns Greektown Casino, L.L.C. (“Greektown LLC”), which is engaged in the operation of a hotel and casino gaming facility known as Greektown Casino Hotel (“Greektown Casino”) located in the downtown of the city of Detroit that opened November 10, 2000 under a license granted by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (“MGCB”) and a Development Agreement with the city of Detroit.

On May 29, 2008, Greektown Holdings, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries and certain affiliates, filed voluntary petitions to reorganize their businesses under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. As contemplated by a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) approved by the Bankruptcy Court, Greektown Superholdings, Inc. (“Greektown Superholdings,” and together with its subsidiaries “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” or “Greektown,” unless the context otherwise required) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 17, 2010. The Plan was confirmed on January 22, 2010 and became effective on June 30, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). Since that date Greektown Superholdings and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greektown Newco Sub, Inc. (the “Greektown Sub”), have held 50% of the outstanding membership interests of Greektown Holdings. Greektown Superholdings is a holding company that has no other operating assets. Through its direct and indirect ownership of Greektown Holdings, Greektown Superholdings owns and operates Greektown Casino. Greektown LLC also holds all the ownership interest in Contract Builders Corporation (“Contract Builders”) and Realty Equity Company, Inc. (“Realty Equity”), each of which owns real estate near Greektown Casino. The assets of Trappers GC Partners, LLC (“Trappers”) were transferred to Greektown Casino and Trappers has been dissolved pursuant to the Plan. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the following discussion describes the business and operations of Greektown Superholdings after the Effective Date. Greektown Superholdings’ corporate headquarters are located at 555 East Lafayette, Detroit, Michigan 48226.

On the Effective Date, Greektown Superholdings issued $385 million in 13% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and entered into a $30 million revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank (the “Revolving Loan” and, together with the Senior Secured Notes, the “Exit Financing”). On the Effective Date, the proceeds of a rights offering for shares of our Preferred Stock received from certain holders of notes of Greektown Holdings, who had purchased such notes prior to the bankruptcy filing, the proceeds of the direct purchase of Preferred Stock, and the proceeds from the sale of the Senior Secured Notes were used to pay all outstanding borrowings under our DIP financing facility (the “DIP Facility”), to repay the pre-petition secured claims, and to make other payments required upon exit from bankruptcy. The proceeds from the sale of the Senior Secured Notes remaining after the foregoing payments were made, as well as the Revolving Loan, were used to provide ongoing liquidity to conduct our operations.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2012

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Presentation and Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, they do contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included therein. The interim results reflected in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Certain reclassifications, which have no effect on previously reported net loss have been made to the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to conform to the 2012 presentation. Pursuant to the guidance in the recently issued AICPA Audit and Accounting Gaming Guide, the Company reclassified certain amounts paid under slot participation agreements from a reduction in casino revenue to casino expense. Slot participation fees were $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances for receivables, tax obligations and certain other accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Casino Revenues

Greektown Casino recognizes casino revenues as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Revenues from food and beverage and hotel operations are recognized at the time of sale or upon the provision of service.

Promotional Allowances

The retail value of food, beverage, and other complimentary items furnished to customers without charge is included in revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances. The costs of providing such promotional allowances are included in casino expenses as follows (in thousands):

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of reorganization value over fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in fresh start accounting at June 30, 2010. In accordance with accounting guidance related to goodwill and other intangible assets, the Company tests for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually in the fourth quarter and in certain situations between those annual dates, if interim indicators of impairment arise. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, no indicators of impairment arose. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, by comparing the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the carrying values using a discounted cash flow approach. No indicators of impairment arose during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over their useful life, which is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Management periodically assesses the amortization period of intangible assets with definite lives based upon estimated future cash flows from related operations and tests for impairment when indicators arise. No impairment indicators arose during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Inherent in the calculation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are various estimates. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective, and actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. If the Company’s ongoing estimates of future cash flows are not met, the Company may have to record impairment charges in future accounting periods. The Company’s estimates of cash flows are based on the current regulatory, political, and economic climates; recent operating information; and forecasts of the properties where it conducts operations. These estimates could be negatively impacted by changes in federal, state, or local regulations; economic downturns; or other events affecting various forms of travel and access to the Company’s properties.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the senior secured notes was approximately $422.5 million and $399.4 million, respectively, as determined by the Company, using available market information. Inputs used to calculate the fair value of the senior secured notes have been derived principally from observable market data and therefore, the Company classifies the estimated fair value of the senior secured notes as a level 2 measurement. In addition, the fair value of the capital lease obligation approximates its carrying value, as determined by the Company, using available market information (See Note 10).

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation awards are determined based on the grant date fair value of the award and are expensed ratably over the service period of the award. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized under all share-based arrangements for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively (See Note 8).

Earnings per Share

Basic loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (See Note 9).

For the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2012

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income and Other Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

The Company recorded income taxes for the Michigan Business Tax (“MBT”), which is considered an income tax under the provisions of the Income Taxes topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The MBT had a gross receipts tax component and an income tax component for the period ended March 31, 2011. Based on state of Michigan tax reform, the MBT has been eliminated effective January 1, 2012 and deferred taxes related to the MBT were adjusted in the second quarter of 2011. In lieu of the MBT, the state of Michigan has enacted a six percent corporate income tax. The Company did not record a state deferred income tax benefit, as a valuation allowance was recorded at the federal and state level for the entire deferred asset amount. The Company is in a full valuation allowance during the period ended March 31, 2012. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the current income tax expense.

The Company’s net deferred tax assets were approximately $22.0 million, as of March 31, 2012 and a valuation allowance of approximately $22.0 million was recorded. The Company had a deferred tax liability of approximately $11.8 million as of March 31, 2012 and recorded an estimated income tax contingency of $8.9 in relation to certain potential taxes that could be assessed in connection with the enactment of the Plan in other accrued income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, included within the income tax contingency are approximately $1.7 million and $0.1 million of penalty and interest, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011, included within income tax contingency are approximately $1.7 million and $0.2 million of penalty and interest, respectively. The Company believes it is possible that such uncertainties may be resolved within the next twelve months.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of the Property, Plant, and Equipment topic of the FASB ASC, which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of the assets will not be recoverable based on the Company’s interim assessment for the three months ended March 31, 2012. No impairment was recorded during the periods ended March 31, 2012, and 2011.

Reclassification

Certain items in the 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The following are accounting standards adopted or issued recently that were evaluated for potential impact on the Company.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 to amend Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): A reporting entity shall disclose information that helps users of its financial statements assess both of the following: For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis in the statement of financial position after initial recognition, the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop those measures. For recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the effect of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) or other comprehensive income for the period. The Standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance in ASU No. 2011-04 should be applied prospectively. The Company recently adopted ASU No. 2011-04. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, the Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Emergence from Chapter 11

Fresh Start Consolidated Balance Sheet

In accordance with the Reorganizations topic of the FASB ASC 852, the Company adopted fresh-start reporting upon the Effective Date. The Company was required to apply the provisions of fresh-start reporting to its financial statements because the reorganization value of the assets on the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, and the holders of the existing voting shares of the Predecessor’s common stock immediately before confirmation received less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity. Fresh-start reporting is required on the date on which the plan of reorganization is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, but should not be applied until all material conditions to the Plan are satisfied. All material conditions to the Plan were satisfied on June 30, 2010, the Effective Date.

Fresh-start reporting generally requires resetting the historical net book value of assets and liabilities to fair value by allocating the entity’s enterprise value as set forth in the Plan to its assets and liabilities pursuant to accounting guidance related to business combinations as of the Effective Date. As set forth in the disclosure statement relating to the Plan that was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on December 4, 2009, the enterprise value was estimated to be in the range of $626.7 million to $696.2 million, with a mid-point estimate of $662.7 million, based on financial projections. The enterprise value was estimated using various valuation methods, including (i) a calculation of the present value of projected free cash flows and a terminal value, using a range of discount rates (the “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis”); (ii) a comparison of the financial data of the reorganized Debtors with comparable publicly traded gaming companies (the “Comparable Companies Analysis”); and (iii) an analysis of comparable valuations indicated by precedent mergers and acquisitions transactions in the gaming industry (the “Precedent Transactions Analysis”).

The enterprise value using the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis was determined using the Predecessor’s financial projections for the periods through 2013. The four year compounded annual growth rate used in the projections was 2.7%. These financial projections were provided in the Plan disclosure statement and included anticipated changes associated with the Company’s reorganization plans, general market conditions, as well as other pertinent economic factors. The discount rate applied was 11% which was calculated using a weighted average cost of capital analysis based on comparable statistics of the Company’s peer group. The present value of all cash flows after 2013 were calculated using terminal values which were calculated by applying exit multiples ranging from 7.0x to 8.0x the 2013 financial projections which was then discounted 11%. Exit multiples ranging from 7.0x to 8.0x were based upon comparable company EBITDA multiples of the Company’s peer group.

Note 3. Emergence from Chapter 11 (continued)

Based upon an evaluation of relevant factors used in determining the range of enterprise value, including an assessment of the Company’s expected future cash flow projections, the Company concluded that the midpoint enterprise value estimate of $662.7 million should be used for fresh start reporting purposes, as it most closely approximated fair value.

In accordance with fresh start reporting, at June 30, 2010, the Company’s enterprise value was allocated to existing assets using the measurement guidance provided in accounting guidance related to business combinations. In addition, liabilities, other than deferred taxes, were recorded at the present value of amounts estimated to be paid. Finally, the Predecessor’s accumulated deficit was eliminated and the Company’s new debt and equity were recorded at fair value in accordance with the Plan. Deferred taxes have been determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to income taxes.

Estimates of fair value represent the Company’s best estimates, which are based on industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions, and discounted cash flow valuation methods, among other factors. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities is subject to significant estimation and assumptions and there can be no assurance that the estimates, assumptions and values reflected in the valuations will be realized and actual results could vary materially.

Note 4. Goodwill & Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the reorganization value of Greektown Superholdings over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible net assets upon emergence from bankruptcy. Greektown recorded goodwill of $110.3 million upon the application of fresh start reporting.

Other identifiable intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Other identifiable intangible assets	Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Intangible Asset		Assumed Useful Life

Trade names	$	26,300	$	—	$	26,300		Indefinite
Rated player relationships		69,000		24,150		44,850		5 years
Casino development rights		117,800		—		117,800		Indefinite
Total other identifiable intangible assets	$	213,100	$	24,150	$	188,950

Amortization expense related to the rated player relationships intangible asset for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $3.5 million. Annual amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014 is estimated to be $13.8 million for each of the respective years, and approximately $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Upon the Effective Date, in connection with fresh start reporting, the Company recognized Greektown Casino’s trade names, rated player relationships and casino development rights under the Development Agreement at estimated fair value as set forth in the table above. Intangible assets related to Greektown Casino were valued by valuation professionals who used income and cost based methods, as appropriate. The Greektown trade name was valued based on the relief from royalty method, which is a function of projected revenue, the royalty rate that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of an asset to an unrelated licensee and a discount rate. The royalty rate was based on factors such as age, market competition, absolute and relative profitability, market share and prevailing rates from similar assets to reach a 1% royalty rate. The discount rate applied was 12.5%, based on the weighted average cost of capital of the properties benefiting from the trade name.

Events of Default: The Indenture for the Senior Secured Notes contains events of default, including (i) failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due; (ii) breach of any covenants which are not cured within a stated cure period; (iii) default under certain other indebtedness; (iv) becoming subject to certain judgments; (v) failure to keep liens or security interests valid; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (vii) impairment of any collateral to the loans; (viii) ceasing to own the casino complex; or (ix) loss of gaming or certain other licenses or the legal authority to conduct gaming activities. A default could result in an acceleration of the amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Notes.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Comerica Bank for the Revolving Loan. On July 6, 2011, the Company together with Comerica Bank agreed to certain modifications to the Credit Agreement (as so amended, the "Credit Agreement").

General: The Credit Agreement provides for the Revolving Loan, which expires on December 30, 2013. The Revolving Loan is a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30 million (including $5 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit). The maximum expiration of individual letters of credit is twelve months after the issuance thereof or, if earlier, the maturity of the Revolving Loan.

Security and Guarantees: The Revolving Loan is secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest on all the assets of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, excluding, among other things, the Company’s gaming license. Additionally, effective July 2011, a requirement for a 45 day annual revolver “clean up period” was added to the Credit Agreement, during which the Company will be required to maintain a zero balance under the revolver for a period of 45 consecutive days.

Interest and Fees: Borrowings under the Revolving Loan initially bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%, or the higher of Comerica Bank’s prime reference rate and 3.25%. Upon the Trappers Mortgage Release (as defined below), the Revolving Loan will bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% (if the Leverage Ratio (as defined below) is less than 4 to 1) or 2.25% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1) or at an annual rate of (a) the higher of (i) Comerica Bank’s prime reference rate and (ii) 2.50% minus (b) 0.50% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1) or 1% (if the Leverage Ratio is less than 4 to 1). There is a facility fee of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate revolving credit commitment amount payable quarterly in arrears commencing on July 1, 2010 (in respect of the prior fiscal quarter or portion thereof), and on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. There is also a non-refundable letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the face amount of each letter of credit payable quarterly in advance.

Note 5. Debt (continued)

“Leverage Ratio” means as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, the ratio of an amount equal to, on a consolidated basis, the sum of all of the funded debt of the Company and its subsidiaries as of such date, excluding all subordinated debt, to EBITDA (as defined below) for the four fiscal quarters then ending. Adjustments to the interest rate and the applicable letter of credit fee rate are implemented quarterly based on the Leverage Ratio.

Prepayment: The Revolving Loan requires mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to (i) 100% of the net proceeds of the permitted sale of assets (subject to certain exclusions and permitted reinvestments), (ii) 100% of the net proceeds of any recovery from insurance arising from an event of loss (subject to certain exclusions and permitted reinvestments), and (iii) 100% of the net proceeds for the issuance of any debt or equity securities (subject to certain exclusions). Except with respect to certain asset sales, mandatory prepayments do not reduce revolving credit commitments.

Certain Covenants: The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to sell assets and property, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make distributions, dividends or payments on account of, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, any of the Company’s capital stock, prepay certain indebtedness, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, engage in transactions with affiliates, amend agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness, including the New Senior Secured Notes, make capital expenditures, enter into negative pledges, change the fiscal year and change the Company’s or any subsidiary’s name, jurisdiction of incorporation, or the location at which any Collateral is stored. The Company has also agreed to complete the Trappers Mortgage Release by June 30, 2012.

In May 2012, the MGCB approved a proposed amendment to the Revolving Loan which would among other things eliminate the June 30, 2012 outside date for the release of the Trapper’s Lien in favor of an undertaking to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the lien released (See Note 13).

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants pursuant to which the Company must achieve specified minimum (“EBITDA (as defined below)”) levels during twelve month periods ending on applicable test dates, and as of each fiscal year end, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1 (on a trailing twelve month basis).

“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means EBITDA divided by Fixed Charges.

“Fixed Charges” means for any period, the sum, without duplication, of (i) all cash Interest Expense paid or payable in respect of such period on the Funded Debt of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis, plus (ii) all installments of principal or other sums paid or due and payable during such period by Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries with respect to Funded Debt (other than the Advances and the original principal payment made with respect to Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness), plus (iii) all Income Taxes paid or payable in cash during such period, plus (iv) all Restricted Payments paid or payable in cash in respect of such period by Borrower (other than dividends on Capital Stock of the Borrower that were accrued and not paid), plus (v) all unfinanced Capital Expenditures of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period (except certain excluded Capital Expenditures), plus (vi) all capitalized rent and lease expense of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period, all as determined in accordance with GAAP.

“EBITDA” means Net Income for the applicable period plus, without duplication and only to the extent deducted in determining Net Income, (i) depreciation and amortization expense for such period, (ii) Interest Expense, whether paid or accrued, for such period, (iii) all Income Taxes for such period, (iv) reasonable legal, accounting, consulting, advisory and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with on-going bankruptcy court proceedings related to the bankruptcy of Greektown Holdings, L.L.C., and (v) for any fiscal quarter ending on or before June 30, 2012, specified non-recurring expenses may be added back to EBITDA.

Note 5. Debt (continued)

Event of Default: The Revolving Loan contains certain events of default, including failure to make required payments; breaches of covenants which are not cured within a stated cure period or any representations and warranties in any material adverse respect; defaults under certain other indebtedness; certain judgments against the Company for the payment of money; failure to keep any material provision of any loan document valid, binding and enforceable; a change of control; an event of bankruptcy or insolvency; loss of the Company’s gaming licenses to the extent such loss is reasonably likely to cause a material adverse effect; the Company becomes the subject of certain enforcement actions if such enforcement action has not been dismissed or terminated within 60 days after commencement; or the Company becomes prohibited from conducting gaming activities for a period of greater than thirty consecutive days. A default could result in, among other things, a termination of the revolving credit commitment and acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan.

Trappers Mortgage Release: A small parcel of real property underlying a portion of our casino operations (the “Trappers Parcel”) is encumbered by mortgages which secure indebtedness owed to Greektown LLC and third parties. While the Company believes that these third party liens are discharged pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the liens established by these mortgages were not removed from the title record or insured by the title company prior to the Effective Date. Historical subordination agreements from the third parties holding such mortgages exist whereby such parties have agreed not to exercise remedies until Casino has exercised such remedies under a mortgage in favor of Casino on the same parcel.

Further, the Company and its subsidiaries have agreed to collaterally assign the mortgage in favor of the Company as well as a mortgage under which a pre-bankruptcy affiliate of the Company is the borrower (but as to which the Company is also the beneficiary of a collateral assignment to secure the mortgage in favor of us) to the lenders under the Revolving Loan on a first-priority basis and to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes on a second-priority basis. However, if the subordination agreements and the collateral assignment of the mortgage in favor of the Company and under which the Company’s pre-bankruptcy affiliate is the borrower were determined not to be enforceable, such mortgages could be deemed to have a higher priority than the mortgage on such property that the Company is granting to holders of the Senior Secured Notes. In the event that the holders of such mortgages are able to exercise their rights under such mortgages, they would be entitled, among other remedies, to foreclose such liens which could result in the Company’s loss of title to such property. The Company has covenanted to resolve the issue by June 30, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $0.9 million of letters of credit outstanding.

Distributions. All distributions to the shareholders of Greektown Superholdings upon a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Greektown Superholdings, if any, will be made in accordance with the order and priority set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

Note 8. Stock Based Compensation

Certain members of the Company’s executive team are eligible to receive restricted share units under the terms of the Company’s restricted share unit program. On July 1, 2011 under the terms of the restricted share unit program, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer was granted 7,000 restricted share units, of which 2,333 restricted share units vest on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date and the remaining 2,334 restricted share units vest on June 15, 2014.

On July 1, 2011, the Company’s Executive Chairman was granted 1,333 restricted share units, of which the total 1,333 restricted share units vested on December 31, 2011. Additionally, on October 1, 2011, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer was granted 3,000 restricted share units, of which 1,000 restricted share units vest on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date.

All annual retainers to the board of directors will be paid half in cash and half in restricted shares of Series A-1 Common Stock, vesting in quarterly increments over a one year period. Each director may elect annually to receive all or part of the equity portion of the award in cash. Such cash payments will be made when the equity would have vested.

The director compensation program provides that each member of the Company’s Board of Directors is entitled to receive restricted shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Common Stock. In addition to the annual retainer, upon joining the Company’s Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board became entitled to $275,000 of such stock; the Vice Chairman of the Board became entitled to $150,000 of such stock, and all other directors are entitled to $125,000 of such stock. All such restricted shares will vest in three equal annual installments.

Note 9. Earnings per share

EPS is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if certain restrictions lapse on restricted stock awards and preferred stock and warrants are converted to common stock. Anti-dilutive securities are excluded from diluted EPS.

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31,			Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for basic computation	$	(1,252	)	$	(8,521	)

Less: Preferred stock dividends		(3,048	)		(3,048	)

Less: Preferred stock dividends on shares underlying warrants		(1,243	)		(1,243	)

Adjusted net loss available to common stockholders	$	(5,543	)	$	(12,812	)

Basic loss per common share:

Weighted average common shares outstanding		145,544			140,735

Basic and diluted loss per common share	$	(38.09	)	$	(91.04	)

Due to the Company's net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the dilutive effect of restricted share units, convertible preferred stock, and warrants were not included in the computation of EPS, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

The Fair Value Measurements topic of the FASB ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this guidance are described below:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

	·	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
	·	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
	·	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
	·	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The assets and liabilities fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation methodologies for these can be found in Note 2.

Valuation techniques used are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

Note 11. Michigan Gaming Control Board Covenant

On June 28, 2010, the MGCB approved Greektown’s new ownership structure, capitalization and management. The MGCB’s approval order (the “Order”) provides that the Company must demonstrate its continuing financial viability for so long as any indebtedness is outstanding under the Revolving Loan and the Senior Secured Notes by complying with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant and a limitation on certain restricted payments.

Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

The Order requires the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a ratio of EBITDA to Fixed Charges (each as defined below) on the last day of each calendar quarter of not less than:

(1)		1.00 to 1.00 (until March 31, 2011); and

(2)		1.05 to 1.00 (after March 31, 2011).

The fixed charge coverage ratio will be measured from the Effective Date until the applicable determination date for all fiscal quarters ending on or before March 31, 2011 and on a trailing twelve month basis thereafter.

The Order defines the ratio as the ratio of:

(1)		EBITDA for the measurement period then ending to

(2)		Fixed Charges for the measurement period.

For purposes of the Order:

“EBITDA” means, for any period of determination, net income for the applicable period plus, without duplication and only to the extent deducted in determining net income:

(1)		depreciation and amortization expense for such period;

(2)		interest expense, whether paid or accrued, for such period;

(3)		all income taxes for such period; and

(4)		for any fiscal quarter ending on or before June 30, 2011, specified non-recurring expenses for such period.

“Fixed Charges” means, for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:

(1)		all cash interest expense on funded debt paid or payable in respect of such period; plus

(2)		all installments of principal with respect to funded debt, including excess cash flow recapture payments, or other sums paid or due and payable during such period by the Company with respect to all of its funded debt (other than the repayment of advances under a revolving credit facility and payments of principal in connection with any refinancing of any funded debt); plus

(3)		all preferred dividends paid in cash for such period; plus

(4)		all unfinanced capital expenditures for such period; plus

(5)		all capitalized rent and lease expense for such period.

Note 11. Michigan Gaming Control Board Covenant (continued)

Subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2012, the MGCB permitted the Company to exclude capital expenditures in relation to the construction of the valet parking facility from the MGCB Fixed Charged Coverage Ratio calculation.

The Company will be permitted to cure any anticipated non-compliance with this ratio with capital raised in an offering of equity securities. The Company may add to EBITDA the net proceeds of any offering of equity securities of the Company or its subsidiaries consummated before the date that a financial audit must be delivered to the MGCB for the applicable period with respect to which the fixed charge coverage ratio is measured under the order to make up the amount of any shortfall in the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for the applicable period. Any equity proceeds exceeding those necessary to make up the shortfall will be available to make up shortfalls in the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for any subsequent periods.

Limitation on Certain Restricted Payments

The MGCB order also prohibits the Company from making any distributions or pay any dividends on account of the Company’s capital stock without the prior written approval of the MGCB, other than repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions for value of any of the Company’s preferred stock or common stock held by any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders agreement or similar agreement, not to exceed $1.5 million in any twelve month period.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a defendant in various pending litigation matters. In management’s opinion, the ultimate outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

Under the Revised Development Agreement, should a “triggering event” (as defined therein) occur, the Company must sell its assets, business, and operations as a going concern at their fair market value to a developer named by the city of Detroit. The Company noted that for the year ended December 31, 2011, no triggering event has occurred. As part of the bankruptcy reorganization process, the Company engaged Moelis & Company, LLC (“Moelis”) to act as investment banker. The Moelis engagement letter provides for a success fee if certain requirements are met. Moelis asserted an administrative claim for fees and expenses totaling approximately $12.9 million, of which approximately $3 million was paid prior to the effective date of the reorganization. The Company believes such amount substantially exceeds the amount to which Moelis is entitled under its engagement letter. The Company has filed an objection to Moelis’s administrative claim, and scheduling of a hearing on that matter before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan is pending.

The Company requested a ruling from the Michigan Department of Treasury regarding certain potential tax liabilities under the MBT arising from the June 30, 2010 restructuring transactions. The Company failed to receive a favorable ruling. Such potential claims include a contingent liability for gross receipts tax under the MBT. Such claims are not recorded as the Company believes there is a more likely than not chance of prevailing in this matter. In response, the Company has asked the Bankruptcy Court to issue a determination as to these matters. A hearing on the Company’s request for a determination was held on March 21, 2011, at which time the Bankruptcy Court requested that the parties submit further briefing. The Bankruptcy Court has not issued a final ruling on this matter.

Certain parties to contracts entered into prior to the commencement of the Debtors' bankruptcy proceedings have asserted claims alleging that the Company assumed those contracts and is responsible for amounts necessary to cure prepetition defaults under such contracts. Certain of such claims have been withdrawn. As of three months ended March 31, 2012 no claims were asserted. The amount of claims estimated at approximately $0.6 million as of the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

In May 2012, the MGCB approved a proposed amendment to the Revolving Loan which would: (i) increase the aggregate principal amount available under the facility by $15.0 million to $45.0 million, with $15.0 million available only for the valet parking facility; (ii) provide for repayments of amounts used for the valet parking facility in quarterly installments equal to 1/20th of amount advanced, commencing on the earlier of July 1, 2013 and the first month after the completion date; (iii) exclude capital expenditures relating to the valet parking facility from the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation not to exceed $25.7 million; (iv) eliminate the June 30, 2012 outside date for the release of the Trapper’s Lien in favor of an undertaking to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the lien released; (v) reduce the LIBOR interest rate option to 2.25% and the prime rate option to prime less .25% ; (vi) substitute the existing annual commitment fee of .50% with an unused line fee of .75%; and (vii) provide for a closing fee of approximately $0.1 million. The amendment does not modify the term of the facility which expires on December 30, 2013. The Company intends to execute the proposed amendment with Comerica Bank as soon as practicable.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Background and Overview

Greektown Superholdings was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 17, 2010. Greektown Superholdings was formed to hold, directly and indirectly through Greektown Sub, all outstanding membership interests of Greektown LLC, as of the effective date of its emergence from bankruptcy protection. Through Greektown LLC, we own and operate Greektown Casino. Greektown Casino opened in November 2000 within the downtown of the city of Detroit. In February 2009, Greektown Casino completed its Expanded Complex at a cost of approximately $336.3 million. Greektown Casino is one of only three commercial casinos licensed to operate in the state of Michigan and our Expanded Complex offers a full range of gaming, dining and entertainment alternatives, including:

·		approximately 100,000 square-feet of gaming space with approximately 2,700 slot machines and 62 table games, including an approximately 12,500 square-foot salon dedicated to high-limit gaming and one of the largest live poker rooms in the Metro Detroit Gaming Market;

·		approximately 2,810 attached and 1,750 unattached parking spaces, including over 600 parking spaces for valet parking services;

·		10,000 square feet of convention space;

·		a 400-room hotel;

·		four restaurants, including a 180-seat “International Buffet”;

·		several food outlets on the gaming floor; and

·		seven bars and three entertainment facilities.

Access to Greektown Casino is facilitated by a nearby off-ramp from Interstate 375 and six interstate highways passing through the downtown of the city of Detroit. We estimate that Greektown Casino attracts approximately 17,900 patrons per day on average, and we believe a significant number of these patrons make regular visits to our property. Our players club, known as “Club Greektown,” is a membership/loyalty program that attracts customers by offering incentives to frequent casino visitors. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 1.5 million people in our database for Club Greektown. We believe the gaming market in the Detroit area, which consists of three commercial casinos in Michigan (the “Detroit Commercial Casinos”), together with the commercial casino in Windsor, Ontario (the “Metro Detroit Gaming Market”), is primarily a “drive-to” gaming market, with over 95% of patrons residing within 100 miles of Greektown Casino.

Key Financial Statement Terms

Revenues

Our gross revenues are derived from casino, food, beverage, hotel, and other revenues. Our largest component of revenues is casino revenues, which represent approximately 90% of our total gross revenues. Gross casino revenues are comprised of revenues from our slot machines and from table games, which are calculated as the difference between the amount wagered and the amount paid to customers.

The club point redemption expenses associated with our “Club Greektown” membership/loyalty program are reflected as a reduction of gross casino revenues. In accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 applicable to instances where consideration is given by a vendor to a customer, we expense the cash value of points earned by Club Greektown members and recognize a related liability for any unredeemed points.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Net revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 were approximately $91.8 million and $85.5 million, respectively. Net revenues are impacted by the general economic condition of the region, the seasonality of our business, sporting and entertainment events simultaneously taking place within the downtown area of the city of Detroit, short-term disruptions related to Casino renovations, and our ability to attract customers within the Detroit Commercial Market. Casino revenue represented 89.9% and 89.8% of gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Promotional allowances as a percentage of gross revenue were 13.4% and 13.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses increased by $0.1 million, but decreased 4.5% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The following is a discussion of the principal drivers of trends in direct operating expenses:

•	Casino expenses. Casino-related expenses increased $1.0 million, but decreased 0.5% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. The increase in this category was primarily driven by an increase in promotional expense of $0.5 million, in order to facilitate the increase in casino revenue. Additionally, the increase in casino-related expenses was also due to an increase in state unemployment taxes and employment medical benefits of $0.4 million.

•	Gaming taxes. Gaming taxes increased $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period, as a result of the increase in casino revenue.

•	Food and beverage expenses. Food and beverage expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 1.3% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of the following: a decrease in cost of goods sold of $0.3 million, a decrease in payroll compensation expense of $0.3 million, a decrease in other food and beverage expense of $0.3 million.

•	Hotel expenses. Hotel expenses increased $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. This increase in hotel expenses was primarily driven by an increase in payroll expense of $0.2 million, in order to service the higher occupancy levels experienced in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year period.

•	Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 2.6% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was the result of certain short lived depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Indirect operating expenses. Indirect operating expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million, but decreased 1.2% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The following is a discussion of the principal drivers of trends in indirect operating expenses:

•	Marketing, advertising and entertainment. Marketing, advertising, and entertainment expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 0.6% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by a reduction in sponsorships, television and radio, and production and artwork expenses.

•	Facilities. Facilities expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 0.5% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period and remained relatively consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the prior year period.

•	General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million, but decreased 0.2% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. The increase primarily related to expenses resulting from the Detroit Casino Council ratification incentives, board fees, and professional fees (which include legal fees associated with legal proceedings, the proxy contest, and disclosure requirements arising from our status as a public registrant, as well as Michigan gaming laws).

•	Other. Other indirect operating expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 0.1% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior period and remained relatively consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the prior period.

Chapter 11 related reorganization items. Chapter 11 related reorganization items decreased by approximately $1.1 million, or 1.2% as a percentage of net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in Chapter 11 related reorganization items during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily related to a decrease in reorganization items related to the settlement of liabilities and fees directly related to bankruptcy.

Other expense. Other expense increased by approximately $0.1 million, but decreased 1.0% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. The following is a discussion of the primary drivers of the trends in other expense.

•	Interest expense. Interest expense remained relatively consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period.

•	Amortization of finance fees and accretion of discount on senior notes. Amortization of finance fees and accretion of discount on the Senior Secured Notes increased by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 0.6% as a percentage of net revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily related to tax reform in the state of Michigan. The MBT was eliminated, effective January 1, 2012, and deferred taxes related to the MBT were adjusted in the second quarter of 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our cash requirements are for working capital, obligations under the Development Agreement, gaming taxes, debt service, and the improvement of our facilities.

Cash and cash equivalents were $46.1 million as of March 31, 2012. The Company’s cash position was favorably impacted by the consummation of a land transaction with Wayne County in July of 2011. The Company exchanged a 7.2 acre parcel of the land for a 1.1 acre parcel plus cash consideration. Net cash consideration received by the Company was approximately $10.7 million.

The Company had $29.1 million of available borrowings under our Revolving Loan ($30.0 million of commitment less outstanding letters of credit of approximately $0.9 million). During the first quarter of 2012, the Company paid semi-annual interest payments of $25.0 million in relation to the 13% Senior Secured Notes using cash generated from operating activities.

For the year ending December 31, 2012, capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $44 million, including expenditures on our new valet parking facility, estimated to be approximately $26 million.

In May 2012, the MGCB approved a proposed amendment to the Revolving Loan which would: (i) increase the aggregate principal amount available under the facility by $15.0 million to $45.0 million, with $15.0 million available only for the valet parking facility; (ii) provide for repayments of amounts used for the valet parking facility in quarterly installments equal to 1/20th of amount advanced, commencing on the earlier of July 1, 2013 and the first month after the completion date; (iii) exclude capital expenditures relating to the valet parking facility from the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation not to exceed $25.7 million; (iv) eliminate the June 30, 2012 outside date for the release of the Trapper’s Lien in favor of an undertaking to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the lien released; (v) reduce the interest rate by .25%; (vi) substitute the existing annual commitment fee of .50% with an unused line fee of .75%; and (vii) provide for a closing fee of approximately $0.1 million. The amendment does not modify the term of the facility which expires on December 30, 2013. The Company intends to execute the proposed amendment with Comerica Bank as soon as practicable.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011 the face amount of the outstanding debt was $385 million, due in 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011 interest expense was $12.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011 consisted of the following (in thousands).

	Three Months Ended March 31,			Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Cash flows:
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(1,399	)	$	(405	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(3,294	)		(3,569	)
Net cash used in financing activities		—			(72	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(4,693	)	$	(4,046	)

Net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and chapter 11 related reorganization items.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily related to an increase in capital expenditures, including spending on the new valet garage.

Net cash used in financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily related to the absence of any finance fees.

Purchase Agreement; Indenture; Notes

On June 25, 2010, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase, $280.2 million principal amount of its Series A 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the Series A Notes) and $104.8 million principal amount of its Series B 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the Series B Notes and, together with the Series A Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”), which are guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantors and, together with the Company’s, the “Obligors”), which subsidiaries executed a joinder to the Purchase Agreement on June 30, 2010.

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 30, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee.

Maturity: The Senior Secured Notes mature on July 1, 2015, and bear interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2011. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Optional Redemption: At any time prior to January 1, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Senior Secured Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus a specified premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. On or after January 1, 2013, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at any time at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date.

Mandatory Redemption: The Senior Secured Notes are subject to mandatory disposition or redemption following certain determinations by applicable gaming regulatory authorities. The Senior Secured Notes are subject to mandatory redemption, at 103% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if the Company has consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the Indenture, for any fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year beginning on the date of the Indenture and ending December 31, 2011. For the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company does not anticipate to make any excess cash flow payments as of December 31, 2012.

Covenants : The Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of Greektown Superholdings and/or its direct and indirect subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) engage in businesses other than the operation of Greektown Casino; (ii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (iii) create liens; (iv) make certain investments; (v) pay dividends on or make payments in respect of capital stock; (vi) consolidate or merge with other companies; (vii) sell certain assets; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (ix) agree to negative pledge clauses and (x) enter into sales and leasebacks. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the Indenture unless Greektown Superholdings obtains a waiver of, or otherwise mitigates, the default.

Events of Default: The Indenture for the Senior Secured Notes contains events of default, including (i) failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due; (ii) breach of any covenants which are not cured within a stated cure period; (iii) default under certain other indebtedness; (iv) becoming subject to certain judgments; (v) failure to keep liens or security interests valid; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (vii) impairment of any collateral to the loans; (viii) ceasing to own the casino complex; or (ix) loss of gaming or certain other licenses, or the legal authority to conduct gaming activities. A default could result in an acceleration of the amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Notes.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Comerica Bank for the Revolving Loan. On July 6, 2011, the Company and Comerica Bank agreed to certain modifications to the Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

The maximum expiration of individual letters of credit is twelve months after the issuance thereof or, if earlier, the maturity of the Revolving Loan.

Security and Guarantees: The Revolving Loan is secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest on all the assets of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, excluding, among other things, the Company’s gaming license. Additionally, effective July 2011, a requirement for a 45 day annual revolver “clean up period” was added to the Credit Agreement during which the Company will be required to maintain a zero balance under the revolver for a period of 45 consecutive days.

Certain Covenants: The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to sell assets and property, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make distributions, dividends or payments on account of, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, any of the Company’s capital stock, prepay certain indebtedness, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, engage in transactions with affiliates, amend agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Notes, make capital expenditures, enter into negative pledges, change the fiscal year and change the Company’s or any subsidiary’s name, jurisdiction of incorporation, or the location at which any Collateral is stored. The Company has also agreed to complete the Trappers Mortgage Release by June 30, 2012.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants pursuant to which the Company must achieve specified minimum EBITDA (as defined below) levels during twelve month periods ending on applicable test dates, and as of each fiscal year end, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1 (on a trailing twelve month basis).

“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means EBITDA divided by Fixed Charges.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $0.9 million of letters of credit outstanding.

On June 28, 2010, the MGCB approved, and the Company and Comerica executed, Greektown’s new ownership structure, capitalization and management. The MGCB’s approval order provides that the Company must demonstrate its continuing financial viability for so long as any indebtedness is outstanding under the Revolving Loan and the Senior Secured Notes by complying with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant and a limitation on certain restricted payments (See Note 11).
