GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gaylord
Entertainment Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for
a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period have been
included. The results of operations for such interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.
2. INCOME PER SHARE:
The Company calculates income per share using the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Under the
standards established by SFAS No. 128, earnings per share is measured at two
levels: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings
per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding after considering the additional dilution related to stock options.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is calculated as
follows:
<TABLE>

------ ------ ------ ------
Weighted average shares outstanding -
assuming dilution 33,372 33,160 33,351 33,113
====== ====== ====== ======
</TABLE>
For the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000, the Company's
effect of dilutive stock options was the equivalent of 123 shares and 149
shares, respectively, of common stock outstanding. These incremental shares were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods
ended June 30, 2000 as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires that changes in the
amounts of certain items, including gains and losses on certain securities, be
shown in the financial statements. Comprehensive income for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:

4. SECURED FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT:
During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange
contract with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston in which the Company
monetized 10,938 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B non-voting common stock ("Viacom
Stock"). The Company acquired the Viacom Stock as a result of the divestiture of
KTVT-TV in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas to CBS Corporation in October 1999. CBS
Corporation merged with Viacom, Inc. in May 2000.
The seven-year secured forward exchange contract has a face amount of $613,054
and requires contract payments based upon a stated 5% rate. The secured forward
exchange contract protects the Company against decreases in the fair market
value of the Viacom Stock while providing for participation in increases in the
fair market value. By entering into the secured forward exchange contract, the
Company realized cash proceeds of $506,399, net of discounted prepaid contract
payments related to the first 3.25 years of the contract and transaction costs
totaling $106,655. The unamortized balances of these deferred financing costs
are classified as other current assets of $31,672 and other long-term assets of
$71,427 in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000. The
Company is recognizing the contract payments associated with the secured forward
exchange contract as interest expense over the seven-year contract period using
the effective interest method. The Company utilized $394,142 of the net proceeds
from the secured forward exchange contract to repay all outstanding indebtedness
under its revolving credit facility. As a result of the secured forward exchange
contract, the revolving credit facility was terminated.
During the seven-year term of the secured forward exchange contract, the Company
retains ownership of the Viacom Stock. The Company's obligation under the
secured forward exchange contract is collateralized by a security interest in
the Viacom Stock. The secured forward exchange contract obligates the Company to
certain limitations on sales of assets, additional indebtedness and liens. At
the end of the seven-year contract term, the Company may, at its option, elect
to pay in cash rather than by delivery of all or a portion of the Viacom Stock.

5. GAYLORD DIGITAL:
During 1999, the Company acquired 84% of two online operations, Musicforce.com
and Lightsource.com, for approximately $23,400 in cash. During the first three
months of 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 16% of Musicforce.com and
Lightsource.com for approximately $6,500 in cash. The acquisition was financed
through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement and has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The operating results of
the online operations have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition of a controlling interest. The purchase
price allocation has been completed on a preliminary basis, subject to
adjustment if additional facts about the online operations become known. The
excess of purchase price over the fair values of the net assets acquired as of
June 30, 2000 was $27,937 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company is managed using the following four business segments: hospitality
and attractions, creative content, interactive media, and corporate and other.
The hospitality and attractions segment primarily consists of the Opryland Hotel
Nashville; the Opryland Hotel Florida and the Opryland Hotel Texas, both of
which are currently under construction; the General Jackson showboat and various
other tourist attractions located in Nashville, Tennessee. The creative content
segment primarily consists of Word Entertainment ("Word"), the Company's
contemporary Christian music company; Gaylord Films, formerly Pandora
Investments, S.A., a Luxembourg-based company which acquires, distributes and
produces theatrical feature film and television programming primarily for
markets outside of the United States; Gaylord Event Television, formerly Jack
Nicklaus Productions, which produces golf tournaments for television broadcast;
the Grand Ole Opry; the Wildhorse Saloons and Acuff-Rose Music Publishing. The
interactive media segment primarily consists of CMT International, a country
music video cable network operated in Latin America and the Pacific Rim; Gaylord
Digital, the Company's Internet division; the Company's television station prior
to its disposal and three radio stations in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company's
unallocated corporate expenses are reported separately.
GAYLORD DIGITAL
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company announced the creation of a new
division, Gaylord Digital, formed to initiate a focused Internet strategy, and
the acquisition of a controlling equity interest in two online operations,
Musicforce.com and Lightsource.com. At December 31, 1999, the Company had
acquired 84% of Musicforce.com and Lightsource.com for $23.4 million in cash.
During the first three months of 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 16% of
Musicforce.com and Lightsource.com for an additional $6.5 million in cash. The
acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
agreement and the purchase has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.
DIVESTITURE OF KTVT
In October 1999, CBS Corporation acquired the Company's television station KTVT
in Dallas-Ft. Worth in exchange for $485 million of CBS Series B convertible
preferred stock, $4.2 million of cash and other consideration. As a result of
the merger of CBS Corporation and Viacom, Inc. in May 2000, the 10,141.691
shares of CBS Series B convertible preferred stock received in the KTVT
divestiture became 11,003 shares of Viacom, Inc. Series C convertible preferred
stock. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company converted its Viacom preferred
stock into 11,003,000 shares of Viacom, Inc. non-voting Class B common stock.

<PAGE> 11
SECURED FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT
During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange
contract with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston in which the Company
monetized 10.9 million shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B non-voting common stock
("Viacom Stock").
The seven-year secured forward exchange contract has a face amount of $613
million and requires contract payments based upon a stated 5% rate. The secured
forward exchange contract protects the Company against decreases in the fair
market value of the Viacom Stock while providing for participation in increases
in the fair market value. By entering into the secured forward exchange
contract, the Company realized cash proceeds of $506 million, net of discounted
prepaid contract payments related to the first 3.25 years of the contract and
transaction costs totaling $107 million. The Company is recognizing the contract
payments associated with the secured forward exchange contract as interest
expense over the seven-year contract period using the effective interest method.
The Company utilized $394 million of the net proceeds from the secured forward
exchange contract to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its revolving
credit facility. As a result of the secured forward exchange contract, the
revolving credit facility was terminated.
During the seven-year term of the secured forward exchange contract, the Company
retains ownership of the Viacom Stock. The Company's obligation under the
secured forward exchange contract is collateralized by a security interest in
the Viacom Stock. The forward exchange contract obligates the Company to certain
limitations on sales of assets, additional indebtedness and liens. At the end of
the seven-year contract term, the Company may, at its option, elect to pay in
cash rather than by delivery of the Viacom Stock.

PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Revenues
Total Revenues - Total revenues increased $0.4 million, or 0.3%, to $128.7
million in the second quarter of 2000, and decreased $7.0 million, or 2.9%, to
$234.5 million in the first six months of 2000. The decrease for the first six
months results primarily from the divestiture of KTVT in 1999. Excluding the
revenues of KTVT from the 1999 results, total revenues increased $13.1 million,
or 11.3%, in the second quarter of 2000 and increased $16.9 million, or 7.8%, in
the first six months of 2000.
Hospitality and Attractions - Revenues in the hospitality and attractions
segment increased $5.9 million, or 10.0%, to $64.6 million in the second quarter
of 2000, and decreased $0.4 million, or 0.4%, to $118.5 million in the first six
months of 2000. Opryland Hotel Nashville revenues increased $4.6 million, or
8.8%, to $56.7 million in the second quarter of 2000. However, in the first six
months of 2000, the hotel's revenues decreased $2.2 million, or 2.0%, to $107.5
million. The Opryland Hotel Nashville's occupancy rate decreased to 73.2% in the
first six months of 2000 compared to 78.1% in the first six months of 1999. The
hotel sold 368,600 rooms in the first six months of 2000 compared to 392,300
rooms sold in the same period of 1999, reflecting a 6.0% decrease from 1999. The
hotel's average daily rate increased to $142.85 in the first six months of 2000
from $133.42 in the first six months of 1999. The Opryland Hotel Nashville's
rooms revenues from convention groups declined approximately 3% in the first six
months of 2000 as compared to the first six months of 1999. The decrease in the
first six months of 2000 at the Opryland Hotel Nashville was partially offset by
increased revenues from the Radisson Hotel at Opryland of $1.0 million.
Creative Content - Revenues in the creative content segment increased $8.2
million, or 16.3%, to $58.6 million in the second quarter of 2000, and increased
$16.2 million, or 18.1%, to $105.2 million in the first six months of 2000. The
increase in the first six months of 2000 is primarily due to the revenues of
newly-acquired businesses. Gaylord Event Television, which was acquired in the
fourth quarter of 1999, had revenues of $10.5 million in the first six months of
2000. The increase in revenues is also due to the March 2000 acquisition of
Corporate Magic, Inc., a company specializing in the production of creative
events in the corporate entertainment marketplace, which had revenues subsequent
to its March 2000 acquisition of $2.6 million. Revenues for the Company's live
entertainment business and Word were up slightly in the first six months of 2000
as compared to the same period in 1999.
Interactive Media - Revenues in the interactive media segment decreased $11.3
million, or 67.1%, to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2000, and decreased
$20.9 million, or 66.1%, to $10.7 million in the first six months of 2000. The
decrease is primarily due to the divestiture of KTVT in 1999. Excluding the
revenues of KTVT from 1999, revenues in the interactive media segment in the
second quarter of 2000 increased $1.4 million, or 35.1%, and increased $3.1
million, or 39.9%, in the first six months of 2000. The increase in the first
six months of 2000 results primarily from revenues of Gaylord Digital of $2.4
million.
Corporate and Other - Corporate and other segment revenues in the first six
months of 1999 consisted primarily of consulting and other services revenues
related to the Opry Mills partnership of $2.5 million offset by losses from the
Company's investment in Bass Pro of $0.9 million.

Operating Expenses
Total Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased $18.7 million, or
14.9%, to $143.6 million in the second quarter of 2000, and increased $25.1
million, or 10.4%, to $267.9 million in the first six months of 2000. Operating
costs, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 70.4% during the first six
months of 2000 as compared to 64.7% during the first six months of 1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues,
increased to 31.9% during the first six months of 2000 as compared to 25.7%
during the first six months of 1999.
Operating Costs - Operating costs increased $7.5 million, or 9.2%, to $89.3
million in the second quarter of 2000, and increased $8.8 million, or 5.6%, to
$165.0 million in the first six months of 2000. Excluding the operating costs of
KTVT in the first six months of 1999, operating costs increased $20.3 million,
or 14.0%. The increase in the first six months of 2000 is primarily attributable
to the operating costs of Gaylord Event Television of $10.4 million. Operating
costs of Gaylord Digital were $6.4 million in the first six months of 2000
related to Internet development initiatives. Operating costs of Word increased
$5.7 million in the first six months of 2000 related to increased royalties and
other costs of lower-margin distributed products. The operating costs of
newly-acquired Corporate Magic were $2.0 million in the first six months of
2000. These increases were partially offset during the first six months of 2000
by a decrease in operating costs of the Opryland Hotel Nashville of $4.6 million
related to lower revenues and stringent cost controls.
Selling, General and Administrative - Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $9.0 million, or 29.3%, to $39.8 million in the second
quarter of 2000, and increased $12.7 million, or 20.5%, to $74.8 million in the
first six months of 2000. Excluding the selling, general and administrative
expenses of KTVT in the first six months of 1999, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $17.4 million, or 30.4%. The increase in the
first six months of 2000 is primarily attributable to selling, general and
administrative expenses of Gaylord Digital of $6.6 million primarily related to
promotional and advertising costs. Corporate selling, general and administrative
expenses, consisting primarily of senior management salaries and benefits,
legal, human resources, accounting, and other administrative costs, increased
$3.1 million in the first six months of 2000, primarily due to $1.7 million of
expense associated with the naming rights agreement entered into during the
third quarter of 1999 for the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville,
Tennessee. Hotel development and marketing efforts of the Opryland Hospitality
Group primarily related to hotel developments in Florida and Texas increased
selling, general and administrative expenses $2.7 million during the first six
months of 2000. Development expenses associated with the formation of new record
labels were $2.5 million in the first six months of 2000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses of CMT International increased $2.1 million in the first
six months of 2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses of the
Company's live entertainment business increased $1.8 million in the first six
months of 2000. These increases were partially offset by decreased selling,
general and administrative expenses of the Opryland Hotel Nashville of $1.1
million in the first six months of 2000.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization increased $2.1
million, or 17.2%, to $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2000, and increased
$3.6 million, or 14.8%, to $28.0 million in the first six months of 2000.
Excluding the depreciation and amortization of KTVT from the first six months of
1999, depreciation and amortization increased $4.9 million, or 21.5%, in the
first six months of 2000. The increase in the first six months of 2000 is
primarily attributable to the depreciation expense of capital expenditures and
the amortization expense of intangible assets, primarily goodwill, associated
with recent acquisitions.

Operating Income (Loss)
Operating Income (Loss) - Total operating loss increased $18.3 million to an
operating loss of $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2000, and increased
$32.2 million to an operating loss of $33.4 million in the first six months of
2000. Operating income in the hospitality and attractions segment increased $2.0
million during the first six months of 2000 as a result of increased operating
income of the Opryland Hotel Nashville partially offset by expenses associated
with the Opryland Hospitality Group hotel developments. Creative content segment
operating loss increased $8.2 million during the first six months of 2000
primarily due to decreased operating income at Word from lower-margin
distributed products and development expenses associated with the formation of
new record labels. Operating loss of the interactive media segment increased
$21.2 million during the first six months of 2000 primarily as a result of the
operating losses of Gaylord Digital and the divestiture of KTVT in 1999.
Excluding the operating income of KTVT from the 1999 results, operating loss of
the interactive media segment increased $14.8 million in the first six months of
2000 primarily as a result of the operating losses of Gaylord Digital. Operating
loss of the corporate and other segment increased $4.7 million during the first
six months of 2000 as a result of increased corporate costs as well as the 1999
inclusion of consulting and other services revenues related to the Opry Mills
partnership.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $3.6 million to $7.5 million in the second quarter of
2000, and increased $6.1 million to $13.1 million in the first six months of
2000. The increase is primarily attributable to higher average borrowing levels
and higher weighted average interest rates during the first six months of 2000
than in the first six months of 1999. The Company's weighted average interest
rate on its borrowings, including amortization of the deferred financing costs
related to the secured forward exchange contract, was 6.7% in the first six
months of 2000 compared to 6.3% in the first six months of 1999.
Interest Income
Interest income increased $0.7 million to $1.6 million for the second quarter of
2000, and increased $0.7 million to $2.1 million in the first six months of
2000. The increase in the first six months of 2000 relates primarily to
increased investments of cash balances held by the Company.
Other Gains and Losses
During the second quarter of 2000, the Company recognized a pretax charge of
$1.1 million related to a continuing property tax assessment dispute at the
Opryland Hotel Nashville and a pretax charge of $1.0 million related to the
write-off of an investment in an Internet venture. Additionally, the Company
recorded a gain of $1.5 million related to the settlement of the remaining
contingencies arising from the sale of television station KSTW in Seattle.
During the first six months of 1999, the Company recognized a pretax gain of
$129.9 million related to the collection of $130 million in proceeds from the
redemption of certain equity participation rights in cable television systems
which the Company sold during 1995.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased $7.9 million to an income tax benefit
of $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2000, and decreased $58.4 million to a
tax benefit of $15.4 million in the first six months of 2000. The effective tax
rate on income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes was 34.5% for
the first six months of 2000 compared to 34.8% for the first six months of 1999.
During the first six months of 1999, the Company recognized a current provision
for income taxes of $45.5 million related to the non-recurring gain from the
equity participation rights discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange
contract with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston in which the Company
monetized 10.9 million shares of Viacom Stock. By entering into the secured
forward exchange contract, the Company realized cash proceeds of approximately
$506 million, net of discounted prepaid contract payments related to the first
3.25 years of the contract and transaction costs totaling $107 million. The
Company utilized $394 million of the net proceeds from the secured forward
exchange contract to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its revolving
credit facility. As a result of the secured forward exchange contract, the
revolving credit facility was terminated. The Company is currently negotiating
alternative financing arrangements which management expects will be available
before the complete utilization of the proceeds from the forward exchange
contract.
During February 2000, the Company's Board of Directors voted to discontinue the
payment of dividends on its common stock. The Company paid common stock
dividends of $26.4 million in 1999.
The Company currently projects capital expenditures for 2000 of approximately
$260 million, which includes approximately $200 million related to the Company's
hotel expansion projects in Florida and Texas. Management believes that the
amount of cash remaining from the secured forward exchange contract and the
Company's future financing arrangements will be sufficient to satisfy
anticipated future cash requirements, including its projected capital
expenditures, of the Company on both a short-term and long-term basis.
SEASONALITY
Certain of the Company's operations are subject to seasonal fluctuation.
Revenues in the music business are typically weakest in the first calendar
quarter following the Christmas buying season.
NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective, as amended, for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133
requires all derivatives to be recognized in the statement of financial position
and to be measured at fair value. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS
No. 133 effective January 1, 2001 and is continuing to determine the effects of
SFAS No. 133 on the Company's financial statements.
