NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
On April 25, 1997, Isle of Capri Black Hawk L.L.C. ("Isle-Black Hawk"), a
Colorado limited liability company, was formed. Isle-Black Hawk is owned by
Casino America of Colorado, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Isle of Capri
Casinos, Inc., and Blackhawk Gold, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nevada
Gold & Casinos, Inc. The principal purpose of Isle-Black Hawk has been to
develop and operate a casino in Black Hawk, Colorado, which opened December 30,
1998.
On August 20, 1997, Isle-Black Hawk and Isle of Capri Black Hawk Capital
Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Isle-Black Hawk that has no operations,
issued $75.0 million of 13% First Mortgage Notes (the "First Mortgage Notes")
due 2004 with Contingent Interest in order to finance the construction and
development of Isle-Black Hawk.
The rights and obligations of Casino America of Colorado, Inc. and
Blackhawk Gold, Ltd. are governed in part by the Amended and Restated Operating
Agreement of Isle-Black Hawk (the "Agreement") dated as of July 29, 1997. The
Agreement provides that Isle-Black Hawk will continue until December 31, 2096,
or until such date that dissolution may occur. Pursuant to the Agreement,
Casino America of Colorado, Inc. contributed cash, land purchase rights and
development costs to Isle-Black Hawk and Blackhawk Gold, Ltd. contributed land
to Isle-Black Hawk.
On July 29, 1997, Casino America of Colorado, Inc., Isle of Capri Casinos,
Inc., Blackhawk Gold, Ltd., and Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. also entered into a
Members Agreement (the "Members Agreement") which addressed the development of
Isle-Black Hawk, management of Isle-Black Hawk, additional capital
contributions, and other matters. Casino America of Colorado, Inc. has an
ownership interest in Isle-Black Hawk of 57% and Blackhawk Gold, Ltd. has an
ownership interest in Isle-Black Hawk of 43%. Profits and losses of Isle-Black
Hawk are allocated in proportion to ownership interests.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the three and six month period ended
October 29, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending April 29, 2001. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
Isle-Black Hawk's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2000.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
amounts when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements of Isle-Black Hawk include the
accounts of Isle-Black Hawk and its subsidiary, Isle of Capri Black Hawk Capital
Corp. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

Mortgage Notes due in 2004 at a price of $1,010 per $1,000 principal amount,
plus interest accrued up to, but not including, the Payment Date in accordance
with the terms of its indenture. No Notes were tendered for purchase. Isle
Black-Hawk is required to make an offer based upon excess cash flow every year
during the term of the bonds.
Isle-Black Hawk obtained a letter of credit, as a requirement to obtain a
building permit from the City of Black Hawk (the "City"). The letter of
credit, totaling $2.1 million, can be drawn upon by the City if for any reason
Isle-Black Hawk fails to complete the hotel project, certain public improvements
are not completed, or for repair and maintenance on the public improvements
within one year after completion. The letter of credit is secured by a deposit
held in trust of $1.1 million, which was funded by Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc.,
and the balance is secured by Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc.'s open line of credit
with the bank.
Substantially all of Isle-Black Hawk's assets are pledged as collateral for
long-term debt. At October 29, 2000, Isle-Black Hawk was in compliance with all
debt covenants.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On April 25, 1997, Isle-Black Hawk entered into a Management Agreement,

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
Loans
In August 2000, Isle-Black Hawk completed construction of its hotel
containing 237 rooms for approximately $29.0 million. Isle of Capri Casinos,
Inc. loaned Isle-Black Hawk a total of $5.75 million which was used to develop
the hotel. The $5.75 million loan is recorded in accounts payable related party
and is two separate loans. The first loan, $5.0 million, is due and payable on
demand (see note 6). The second loan, $0.75 million, is due and payable upon
the redemption of the First Mortgage Notes.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is
qualified in its entirety by, Isle-Black Hawk's financial statements, including
the notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this
report.
The following discussion includes "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In particular,
statements concerning the effects of increased competition in the Black Hawk
market, the effects of regulatory and legislative matters, and Isle-Black Hawk's
plans to make capital investments at its facility are forward-looking
statements. Although Isle-Black Hawk believes that the expectations are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations are reasonable or
that they will be correct. Actual results may vary materially from those
expected. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ with
respect to Isle-Black Hawk's planned capital expenditures principally include a
lack of available capital resources, construction and development risks such as
shortages of materials and labor and unforeseen delays resulting from a failure
to obtain necessary approvals.
GENERAL
Isle-Black Hawk was organized on April 25, 1997 and from that time, until
the opening of the casino on December 30, 1998, Isle-Black Hawk's activities
were limited to the design, construction and opening of the casino. Isle-Black
Hawk includes a 43,000 square-foot gaming facility on a single floor with 1,150
slot machines, 14 table games, on-site covered parking for 1,100 vehicles, a 237
deluxe room hotel and various other amenities.
Isle of Capri Black Hawk Capital Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Isle-Black Hawk and was incorporated for the sole purpose of serving as
co-issuer of the First Mortgage Notes. Isle of Capri Black Hawk Capital Corp.
has not and will not have any operations or material assets or revenues.
Isle-Black Hawk believes that its historical results of operations may not
be indicative of its future results of operations because of the substantial
present and expected future increase in competition for gaming customers in
Isle-Black Hawk's market, as new casinos open and existing casinos add to or
enhance their facilities.
Isle-Black Hawk also believes that its operating results may be affected
by seasonality.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Fiscal Months Ended October 29, 2000 Compared to Three Fiscal Months
Ended October 24, 1999
Total revenue for the quarter ended October 29, 2000 was $28.7 million,
which included $26.6 million of casino revenue, $0.8 million of room revenue and
$1.3 million of food, beverage and other revenue. This compares to total
revenue for the prior year fiscal quarter ended October 24, 1999 of $21.8
million, which included $20.6 million of casino revenue and $1.2 million of
food, beverage and other revenue. Casino revenue increased $5.9 million or
28.7% primarily as a result of the 29.9% increase in slot revenue which was
driven by a 40.5% increase in patron count, a 4.3% increase in slot units, and a
24.6% increase in slot win per unit per day. Casino revenue also increased due
to improvements made at Isle-Black Hawk through the opening of the new hotel in
August, 2000. Room revenue increased $0.8 million due to the hotel opening.
Food, beverage and other revenue increased by $0.2 million or 13.6% as a result
of the opening of the new hotel. Revenue does not reflect the retail value of
any complimentaries.
Casino operating expenses for the quarter ended October 29, 2000 totaled
$3.8 million, or 14.1% of casino revenue. This compares to casino operating
expenses for the prior year fiscal quarter ended October 24, 1999 of $2.8
million, or 13.7% of casino revenue. These expenses are primarily comprised of
salaries, wages and benefits and other operating expenses of the casino.
<PAGE>
State and local gaming taxes paid in Colorado totaled $5.3 million for the
quarter ended October 29, 2000, compared to $4.0 million for the quarter ended
October 24, 1999, which is consistent with the applicable Colorado's gaming tax
rate for the respective quarters.
Food, beverage and other expenses totaled $1.0 million for the quarter
ended October 29, 2000, compared to $0.8 million for the quarter ended October
24, 1999. These expenses consist primarily of the cost of goods sold, salaries,

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At October 29, 2000 Isle-Black Hawk had cash and cash equivalents of $10.8
million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million as of April 30,
2000. The increase in cash is primarily a result of cash flow from operating
activities. During the six months ended October 29, 2000, Isle-Black Hawk's
operating activities provided $11.7 million of cash compared to the six months
ended October 24, 1999, in which Isle-Black Hawk's operating activities provided
$7.6 million of cash.
Isle-Black Hawk invested $6.9 million in property and equipment in the six
months ended October 29, 2000, primarily for the completion of the hotel
facility. This compares with the $4.5 million invested by Isle-Black Hawk in
property and equipment in the six months ended October 24, 1999.
Isle-Black Hawk completed construction of its hotel facility containing 237
rooms in August 2000. The facility cost approximately $29.0 million. Isle of
Capri Casinos, Inc. loaned $5.75 million to the Company in connection with
construction of the hotel.
Isle-Black Hawk anticipates that additional capital improvements
approximating $2.9 million will be made during fiscal 2001 to maintain its
existing facility and remain competitive in its market. Isle-Black Hawk had
$7.4 million of capital improvements during the six months ended October 29,
2000. Isle-Black Hawk expects that available cash and cash from future
operations will be adequate to fund future expansion, planned capital
expenditures, service debt and meet working capital requirements. There is no
assurance that Isle-Black Hawk will have the capital resources to make all of
the expenditures described above or that planned capital investments will be
sufficient to allow the Isle-Black Hawk to remain competitive in its existing
market. In addition, the indenture restricts, among other things, the Isle-Black
Hawk's ability to borrow money, make capital expenditures, use assets as
security in other transactions, make restricted payments or restricted
investments, incur contingent obligations, sell assets and enter into leases and
transactions with affiliates. In addition, Isle-Black Hawk is required to make
significant interest payments semi-annually on its First Mortgage Notes, which
will include additional contingent interest.
Isle-Black Hawk is highly leveraged and may be unable to obtain additional
debt or equity financing on acceptable terms. As a result, limitations on
Isle-Black Hawk's capital resources could delay or cause the abandonment of
certain plans for capital improvements.
