CONCORDE GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999
(unaudited)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Concorde Gaming Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules
and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 1999.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, and
related notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company, and notes thereto,
for the year ended September 30, 1998 included in the Company's 1998
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information was issued in June
1997. This statement establishes additional standards for segment
reporting in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes the segment
information required to be disclosed under this statement will be more
comprehensive than previously provided, including expanded disclosure
of income statement and balance sheet items for each of its reportable
segments. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of which
operating segments it will report on but intends to be in compliance by
September 30, 1999.
Pre-opening and Start-up Costs:
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting
Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position No. 98-5,
Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities. This standard provides
guidance on the financial reporting for start-up costs and requires
that such costs be expensed as incurred. The standard is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company adopted
this standard in the quarter ending September 30, 1998, and accordingly
restated previous quarters to conform to this standard.
Earnings Per Share
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. This
statement established standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share and required restatement of all prior-period earnings per
share data presented. Options to purchase (i) 2,200,000 shares of
common stock ranging from $.15 to $.42 per share, (ii) 80,000 shares of
common stock at $1.50 per share, (iii) 2,000,000 shares of common stock
at $1 per share and (iv) 960,000 shares of common stock ranging from
$.75 to $1 per share were outstanding during the three month and nine
month periods ending June 30, 1999, but were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS for the nine months ended June 30, 1999
because the effect is anti-dilutive or the exercise price was greater
than the average

market price of the common shares. A reconciliation of income and
shares for basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is as follows:

(2) Princesa Financing
In October, 1998, Bayfront Ventures, a Florida general partnership of
which the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns an 80%
ownership ("Casino Princesa"), entered into a Loan Agreement and
Security Agreement with a group of lenders, which provided $8,400,000
in financing for an offshore gaming vessel named the Casino Princesa
("Princesa"), related equipment and working capital (the "Vessel
Loan"). The Vessel Loan is secured by a ship mortgage and all related
furniture, furnishings, machinery and equipment (including gaming
equipment) owned by Casino Princesa or Princesa Partners ("Princesa
Partners"), a Florida general partnership of which the Company, through
a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns an 80% ownership interest. Princessa
Partners owns the Princessa and charters the Princessa to Casino
Princessa, which operates the Princessa. In addition, Casino Princesa,
the Company, Goldcoast and certain individuals, including Mr. Brustuen
H. Lien, the majority shareholder, director and chairman of the board
of the Company, guaranteed the Vessel Loan. The Vessel Loan bears
interest at 10.625% with interest only payments through January 1999.
Monthly payments of $130,258, including interest, commenced on February
1999 for sixty consecutive months, with the remaining balance due
January 2004. The Vessel Loan also requires mandatory prepayment of
principal in an amount equal to 12% of the amount of Excess Revenue (as
5
<PAGE> 8
defined below) for each fiscal year, commencing January 2000. Excess
Revenue as defined in the Vessel Loan is the excess of (i) the combined
earnings of Princesa Partners and Casino Princesa before taxes,
depreciation and amortization minus the principal and interest paid on
the Vessel Loan during the fiscal year, over (ii) $4,000,000. The
Vessel Loan contains typical covenants with respect to Princesa
Partners and Casino Princesa, including net worth restrictions, debt
service requirements and limitations on the amount of debt that can be
incurred.
(3) In May, 1999 the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Concorde Cripple
Creek, Inc. ("Concorde Cripple Creek"), entered into a loan agreement
with a lender (the "Loan Agreement). The Loan Agreement provides for a
short-term line of credit in an amount not to exceed $150,000, which is
evidenced by a promissory note due and payable on May 15, 2000. The
promissory note bears interest at the prime rate plus three-quarters
percent. As of June 30, 1999, no amount was outstanding under the
short-term line of credit. The Loan Agreement also provides for a term
commitment loan of up to $850,000 (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan is
evidenced by a promissory note payable in thirty-five (35) monthly
installments of $10,119 commencing on May 31, 1999 with the final
installment due and payable in April, 2002. Advances under the Term
Loan bear interest at the prime rate plus three-quarters percent. As of
June 30, 1999, the Term Loan had an outstanding principal balance of
$839,880. The obligations of Concorde Cripple Creek under the Loan
Agreement are secured by the assets of Concorde Cripple Creek. In
addition, the Company has agreed to guarantee the obligations of
Concorde Cripple Creek under the Loan Agreement.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The statements contained in this report, if not historical, are forward
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the financial results described in such
forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, changes in gaming regulations and tax rates in Colorado, Florida,
and other jurisdictions that could impact the Company's operations, changes in
economic conditions, declining popularity of gaming, competition in Colorado and
Florida and other jurisdictions, and the level and rate of growth in the
Company's operations. The success of the Company's business operations is in
turn dependent on factors such as the effectiveness of the Company's marketing
strategies to grow its customer base and improve customer response rates,
general competitive conditions within the gaming industry and general economic
conditions. Further, any forward looking statement or statements speak only as
of the date on which such statement was made, and the Company undertakes no
obligation to update any forward looking statement or statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Therefore, forward-looking
statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual future results.
INTRODUCTION
Concorde Gaming Corporation (the "Company"), through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Concorde Cripple Creek, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Concorde

Casino"), a limited stakes casino in Black Hawk, Colorado. In addition, the
Company through wholly-owned subsidiaries, Concorde Cruises, Inc., a South

("Conami"), owns an 80% interest in two joint ventures, Bayfront Ventures, a
Florida general partnership which conducts business under the name Casino
Princesa ("Casino Princesa"), and Princesa Partners, a Florida general
partnership ("Princesa Partners"), which own and operate an offshore gaming
vessel (the "Princesa") from Bayfront Park, Miami, Florida. Concorde Cruises
owns an 80% interest in Casino Princesa and Conami owns an 80% interest in
Princesa Partners. Princesa Partners owns the Princesa and, pursuant to a
Charter Agreement (the "Charter") dated October 2, 1998, charters the Princesa
to Casino Princesa, which operates the Princesa. The Princesa was completed and
commenced operations in October, 1998.

months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1,119,676 for the three months ended

Princesa in October 1998. The Princesa had revenues of $4,319,716 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. Golden Gates Casino generated revenues of $1,048,926
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to revenues of $1,119,676 for

for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $79,141 for the three

ended June 30, 1999, compared to $4,645 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Gross revenues were reduced for promotional allowances by $743,051,
compared to $22,991 for promotional allowances for the three months ended June
30, 1998. The increases in food and beverage revenues, other revenues and
promotional allowances are attributed to the commencement of operations of the
Princesa.
Costs and Expenses. Total costs and expenses increased 207.6% to
$4,667,446 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1,517,548 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the commencement

7
<PAGE> 10
ended June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the commencement of
operations of the Princesa. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased 481.9% to $2,058,131 for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $353,692 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, due primarily to
costs associated with Casino Princesa. Depreciation and amortization increased
$244.3% to $316,946 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to
$92,068 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, due primarily to amortization
and depreciation related to the Princesa and the gaming equipment related
thereto. Start-up costs, primarily related to the Princesa, were $0 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $228,688 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998.
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense and financing costs to
related parties increased to $280,834 for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $43,419 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, primarily due to
interest expense related to the $5,000,000 promissory note to BHL Capital
Corporation ("BHL Capital"), a company controlled by Brustuen H. Lien, the
majority shareholder, director and chairman of the board of the Company. Other
interest and financing costs increase to $236,917 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to $16,354 for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
primarily due to the financing costs related to the Princesa. Prior to the
completion of the Princesa in October 1998, interest costs related to the
Princesa were capitalized as start-up costs rather than expensed.
Federal and State Income Taxes. The Company recorded Federal and State
income tax expense of $4,200 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared
to a benefit of 76,800 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The Company
records an income tax benefit using the estimated effective tax rate for the
fiscal year if the amount of loss incurred is reasonably expected to be offset
by future income or is available for carry back to previous years.
Nine months ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Nine months ended June 30, 1998
Revenues. Net revenues increased 315.1% to $12,601,252 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $3,036,050 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the commencement of operations of the

nine months ended June 30, 1999. Golden Gates Casino generated revenues of
$3,289,522 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, which was an increase of
9.6% compared to revenues of $2,974,418 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
This increase was primarily attributable to a mild winter. Food and beverage
revenues were $1,358,697 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to
$216,009 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Other revenues were $1,189,905
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $15,714 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998. Gross revenues were reduced for promotional allowances by
$1,767,354, compared to $64,385 for promotional allowances for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998. The increases in food and beverage revenues, other revenues
and promotional allowances are attributed to the commencement of operations for
the Princesa.
Costs and Expenses. Total costs and expenses increased 198.3% to
$12,897,077 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $4,324,097 for
the nine months ended June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the commencement
of operations of the Princesa in October 1998. Operating expenses for Casino
Princesa were $7,458,868 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. Operating
expenses for Golden Gates Casino increased to $2,764,265 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2,278,579 for the nine months ended June 30,
1998 due to increased rent expense and gaming taxes resulting from increases in
revenue. Food and beverage expenses increased to $1,101,468 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to $138,013 for the nine months ended June 30,
1998, primarily as a result of the commencement of operations of the Princesa.
Management fees, which represent payments made to Goldcoast Entertainment
Cruises, Inc. ("Goldcoast") related to Casino Princesa, decreased to $190,000
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $220,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of Goldcoast voluntarily
delaying payment to enable Casino Princesa to allocate more cash flow to
accounts payable. Business development costs were $(29,689), due to an adjusting
entry, for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $236,543 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased 392.8% to $5,297,656 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999,
primarily as a result of the commencement of operations of the Princesa,
compared to $1,074,929 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Depreciation and
amortization increased 217.6% to $824,979 for the nine months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $259,752 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, due
primarily to amortization and depreciation related to the
8
<PAGE> 11
Princesa and the gaming equipment related thereto. Start-up costs, primarily
related to the Princesa, increased to $540,952 for the nine months ended June
30, 1999, primarily as a result of the grand opening for the Princesa, compared
to $513,555 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense and financing costs to
related parties increased to $803,624 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $81,862 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, primarily due to
interest expense related to the $5,000,000 promissory note to BHL Capital. Other
interest and financing costs increased to $708,734 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to $65,307 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998,
primarily due to the financing costs related to the Princesa. Prior to the
completion of the Princesa in October 1998, interest costs related to the
Princesa were capitalized as start-up costs rather than expensed.
Federal and State Income Taxes. The Company recorded a Federal and
State income tax benefit of $215,800 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to a benefit of $330,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The
Company records an income tax benefit using the estimated effective tax rate for
the fiscal year if the amount of loss incurred is reasonably expected to be
offset by future income or is available for carry back to previous years.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,952,385 at June 30,
1999, compared to $714,764 at September 30, 1998, an increase of $1,237,621,
primarily as a result of the commencement of operations of the Princesa.
During the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the Company used cash flow
from operating activities of $2,965,463 compared to $148,358 during the nine
months ended June 30, 1998.
Investing Activities. Investing activities used cash of $944,807 during
the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $5,133,604 during the nine
months ended June 30, 1998. The Company used $519,991 during the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 for the acquisition of property and equipment, compared to
$5,381,882 during the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
Financing Activities. Financing activities provided cash of $5,147,891
during the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $5,528,210 during the
nine months ended June 30, 1998. Long-term borrowings from related parties
provided $1,775,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $0 for
the nine months ended June 30, 1998, primarily due to the Company signing the
promissory note for $5,000,000 with BHL Capital, which promissory note replaced
previous borrowing from BHL Capital and Mr. Lien. This promissory note is due on
demand, however, BHL Capital has waived its right to demand payment of this
promissory note until June 30, 2000 pursuant to a letter agreement dated April
28, 1999. Long-term borrowings from other sources provided $10,853,097 during
the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $0 during the nine months ended
June 30, 1998, primarily due to completion of the Vessel Loan and the Term Loan
to Concorde Cripple Creek. Short-term borrowings with related parties were
reduced by $490,500 during the nine months ended June 30, 1999, while short-term
borrowings with related parties provided $2,775,000 during the nine months ended
June 30, 1998. There were no short-term borrowings from other sources for the
nine months ended June 30, 1999, while short-term borrowings from other sources
provided $3,168,505 during the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Principal
payments on long-term debt were $6,981,629 during the nine months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $545,127 during the nine months ended June 30, 1998, which
increase was primarily a result of paying off the Princesa's construction
financing. There were no payments received on stock subscription during the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $129,832 during the nine months ended
June 30, 1998.
FUTURE OPERATIONS
The Company's ability to meet its working capital requirements is
dependent upon the future operations of the Casino Princesa and Golden Gates
Casino. For the quarter ending June 30, 1999, the net cash provided by operating
activities of the Casino Princesa and Golden Gates Casino was positive. Although
there can be no assurance given, the
9
<PAGE> 12
Company believes that cash flow from the Casino Princesa and the Golden Gates
Casino will be sufficient to meet its current working capital requirements.
As of June 30, 1999, the Company has used the available funds from its
current financing sources. Management does not foresee any capital spending that
will be required during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999. However,
management believes that should capital spending be required additional
financing may be available.
The Company's business plan includes pursuing selective acquisitions
and strategic alliances. The Company will continue to evaluate opportunities
and, as attractive opportunities develop, the Company will consider
acquisitions. The Company expects to meet additional capital needs relating to
any such acquisitions or alliances with the proceeds from sales or issuance of
equity securities and borrowings. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be successful in raising sufficient additional capital on terms
acceptable to the Company, if at all. The failure to raise and generate
sufficient funds may require the Company to delay or abandon future expansion
which could have a material adverse effect on the future growth of the Company.
YEAR 2000
Like other business organizations, the Company could be adversely
affected if its information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems and those of
other businesses with which the Company interacts do not properly process and
calculate date-related information beginning in the Year 2000 (the "Year 2000
Problem"). Therefore, the Company is taking steps that it believes are
reasonably designed to address any Year 2000 Problems with respect to the IT and
non-IT systems that it uses and to obtain satisfactory assurances that
comparable steps are being taken by material vendors and other business
partners.
IT and Non-IT Systems. The IT systems maintained by the Company consist
primarily of its core accounting software application system and local area
networks ("LANs") in Rapid City, South Dakota, Miami, Florida, and Black Hawk,
Colorado. The design, installation and maintenance of the LAN's are provided by
contracted IT personnel who also manage the basic support and configurations for
the systems.
Non-IT systems include slot machines, embedded circuitry found in
telephone equipment, surveillance, security and alarm systems, copiers, fax
machines, heating and air conditioning systems and other infrastructure systems
that are used by the Company in connection with the operation of its business.
Year 2000 Program. The Company has implemented a Year 2000 program
which includes the following phases: awareness, assessment, testing/validation
and implementation (the "Year 2000 Program"). The Year 2000 Program applies to
all IT and non-IT systems, as well as any providers who service and maintain
these systems.
Awareness Phase. During the awareness phase, which has been completed,
the Company defined the Year 2000 Problem, gained executive level support for
the commitment of resources necessary to perform Year 2000 compliance work, and
developed an overall strategy encompassing all material in-house IT and non-IT
systems and equipment, outsourced systems, customers and vendors.
Assessment Phase. During the assessment phase, which has been
completed, the Company performed an assessment of the size and complexity of the
Year 2000 issue, identified (i) all material hardware, software, networks, other
processing platforms, (ii) established deadlines for Year 2000 Program phases,
(iii) identified those systems considered "mission critical" (i.e., applications
or systems considered vital to the successful continuance of any of the
Company's core business activities), (iv) communicated with vendors and
suppliers to determine their state of readiness relating to Year 2000 Problems
and the Company's exposure to third party Year 2000 issues, and (v) outlined a
contingency plan to be implemented in the event internal or external systems are
not ready for the Year 2000.
The Company has received initial assurances from certain of these third
parties that their ability to perform their obligations to the Company are not
expected to be materially adversely affected by the Year 2000 problem.
Specifically, the
10
<PAGE> 13
Company has received assurances from its major supplier of gaming equipment that
such equipment does not have a Year 2000 Problem.
Testing/Validation and Implementation. The testing/validation phase is
currently in process and is expected to be completed by August 31, 1999. As of
June 30, 1999, testing of non-mission critical systems was substantially
complete with the implementation stage also substantially completed. The
objective of the testing is to minimize business risk due to operational
failures. This phase is considered to be the most critical phase of the Year
2000 Program. The Company intends to conduct testing on all mission critical
systems, except for those systems for which it has received vendor
certifications.
According to vendor certifications, the Company believes its core
software applications at all locations are currently Year 2000 compliant. In
addition, management believes that the Company's non-IT systems are Year 2000
compliant based upon vendor certifications and limited validation testing
performed to date.
All costs related to the Company's Year 2000 Problem are expensed as
incurred, provided, however, that the cost of new hardware or software is
capitalized and amortized over its expected useful life. To date, the costs
related to the Year 2000 Problem have been funded from cash flow from
operations. The costs associated with Year 2000 compliance have not been and are
not anticipated to be material to the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Risks. The major risks posed by the Year 2000 Problem are separated by
operational unit.
o In Black Hawk, Colorado, failure of surveillance equipment would
close table games and slot machines according to Colorado law.
Year 2000 Problems in slot machines should be limited to coin
reporting data, not mechanical failure or inability for the
machine to operate normally to the user. Inaccurate reporting of
data, however, would require the shutdown of the slot machines
under Colorado law. Utility and telecommunications failures would
also impact the Company (for example, a source of power
(electrical or natural gas) are crucial to running surveillance,
heating slot machines for our land based casino in Black Hawk.
o In Miami, failure of surveillance equipment would close table
games and slot machines until internal staff surveillance of games
could be established.
In addition, while the Company has been in close communication with
vendors and other intermediaries, it has no control over the efforts of these
third parties with whom it has material business relationships. There can be no
guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems
rely will be timely converted, or that representations made to the Company by
third parties are in fact accurate. As a result, the failure of a major vendor
or supplier to adequately address their Year 2000 Problem could have a material
adverse effect on the operations of the Company.
Contingency Plan. The Company's contingency plan, designed to handle
the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios, is substantially
complete. Phases of this plan included business impact analysis, Year 2000
business resumption planning and testing. The Year 2000 contingency plan is
intended to provide assurance that the Company's mission critical functions will
continue if one or more systems fail. In developing the plan, the Company has
taken into consideration the impact of external systems, including those of
service providers, financial institutions, business partners and infrastructure
providers such as suppliers of power and telecommunications.
11
<PAGE> 14
Key components of the Company's contingency plan include, but are not
limited to, the following:
o A plan for back-up generators at the Company's casino in Black
Hawk, Colorado to power the Company's phone system, mainframe
computer system, other computers and computer networks, security
systems, lights and to provide for other electrical power
capabilities in the event of interruptions in the power supply.
o Back up staff available on and around December 31, 1999 to provide
surveillance on the Princesa in the event surveillance systems
fail.
o Limited vacation for information systems and operations staff for
the months of November and December 1999 and January 2000 and for
all other staff from December 15, 1999 through January 15, 2000.
In addition, manual back-up procedures are being considered in specific areas
such as accounting to ensure continuity of essential business operations.
During the nine months ended June 30, 1999, management continued its
review of the risks associated with the Year 2000 Problem. The Company has not
incurred any additional costs nor discovered any material adverse effects on the
operations of the Company stemming from the Year 2000 Problem. While the Company
continues to believe the Year 2000 issues will not materially affect its
consolidated financial position or results of operations, it remains uncertain
as to what extent, if any, the Company may be impacted.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in this Report, the
Company cautions stockholders and potential investors that the following
important factors, among others, in some cases have affected, and in the future
could affect, the Company's actual results of operations and could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements made by on or on-behalf of, the Company. The
following information is not intended to limit in any way the characterization
of other statements or information under other captions as cautionary statements
for such purpose:
o The Company has incurred a significant amount of indebtedness and, although
the Company's cash flow from operations is currently sufficient to fund
debt service related thereto, it can give no assurance that its debt
service will continue to be funded.
o Due to the current indebtedness, the Company's ability to obtain additional
financing in the future and the Company's flexibility in reacting to
changes in the industry and economic conditions generally may be limited.
o The Company's success is partially dependent on attracting and retaining
highly qualified management and gaming personnel and an inability to
attract and retain such persons in the future may have an adverse impact on
the results of the Company's future operations.
o The Company's success is partially dependent on its ability to anticipate
changing products and amenities and to efficiently develop and introduce
new products and amenities that will gain customer acceptance. If the
Company is unable to anticipate and introduce such products and amenities,
such inability may have an adverse impact on the results of the Company's
future operations.
o The Company's success is substantially dependent upon the successful
operation of the Princesa. A recent federal court decision has cast doubt
on weather federal laws, which allow for gambling day cruises, preempt
state laws governing the same (see Item 5. Other Information). The effect,
if any, of this court decision on the Company's operations cannot be
determined at this time.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 15, 1999, the Association for Disabled Americans, Inc., The
Coral Springs Advocacy Committee for the Handicapped, Inc., Daniel Ruiz, Jorge
Luis Rodriquez, Ernst Rosenkrantz and Robert Cohen filed a lawsuit against the
Company and Goldcoast in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(the "ADA") with respect to the Princesa and the facilities at which the
Princesa docks. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief including an order requiring
modifications to the Princesa and the docking facilities to comply with the ADA,
and the closure of the Princesa and the docking facilities until such
modifications are complete. Although the Company intends to defend the lawsuit
vigorously, the impact, if any, of the lawsuit on the Company cannot at this
time be determined.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On July 6, 1999, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth
District (the "Court") determined that the gambling laws of South Carolina
prohibiting gambling cruises from a port in South Carolina were not preempted by
the 1992 Amendments (the "1992 Amendments") to the Johnson Act (an act that,
among other things, regulates maritime gambling). Prior to this decision, it was
generally believed that the 1992 Amendments preempted state laws governing
gambling on day cruises of the type currently conducted by the Company on the
Princessa. The 1992 Amendments authorize such gambling day cruises, provided
certain requirements are met. The Court did not decide the issue on whether
states must reenact its laws against gambling in order to make it a federal
crime to operate a gambling day cruise. A Florida state court has previously
determined, however, that Florida must reenact its laws to make it a federal
crime to operate a gambling day cruise. The effect, if any, of the Court's
decision on the Company's operations cannot be determined at this time.

cash flow statements and notes thereto). Borrower has also delivered
unaudited financial statements including a balance sheet and income and
cash flow statements for the periods ending March 31, 1999. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP on a
basis consistent, except as otherwise noted therein, with that of the
previous fiscal year or period and fairly reflect the financial
position of the Borrower as of the dates thereof, and the results of
its operations for the periods covered thereby. Since the date of the

whether such right to payment now exists or hereafter arises, whether such
right to payment arises out of a sale, lease or other disposition of goods
or other property, out of a rendering of services, out of a loan, out of
the overpayment of taxes or other liabilities, or any other transaction or
event, whether such right to payment is created, generated or earned by
Debtor or by some other person who subsequently transfers his interest to
Debtor, whether such right to payment is or is not already earned by
performance, and howsoever such right to payment may be evidenced, together
with all other rights and interests (including all liens and security
interests) which Debtor may at any time have by law or agreement against
any account debtor or other person obligated to make any such payment or

Collateral, together with (i) all accessories, attachments, parts, equipment,
accessions and repairs now or hereafter attached to or used in connection with
any such goods, and (ii) all warehouse receipts, bills of lading and other
documents of title now or hereafter covering such goods.

remain outstanding, absolute title to each item of Collateral and all proceeds
thereof, free and clear of all interests, liens, attachments, encumbrances and
security interests except the Security Interests as provided herein, and except
as the Lender may otherwise agree in writing. Debtor will defend the Collateral

not in fact been, filed in order to perfect the Security Interests. Debtor will
not change its name or the location of its place of business, without prior
written notice to the Lender.
(c) None of the Collateral is or will become a fixture on real estate,
unless a sufficient fixture filing is in effect with respect thereto.

other agreement constituting or evidencing Collateral is (or, in the case of all
future Collateral, will be when arising or issued) the valid, genuine and
legally enforceable obligation, subject to no defense, setoff or counterclaim,
of the account debtor or other obligor named therein or in Debtor's records
pertaining thereto as being obligated to pay such obligation. Debtor will not
agree to modify, amend, subordinate, cancel or terminate the obligation of any
such account debtor or other obligor, without the Lender's prior written
consent.

its records at any time during Debtor's business hours.
(j) Debtor will promptly notify the Lender of any loss of or material
damage to any Collateral or of any substantial adverse change, known to Debtor,
in any Collateral or the prospect of payment thereof.

interest.
(m) Debtor will pay or reimburse the Lender on demand for all costs of
collection of any of the Obligations and all other out-of-pocket expenses
(including in each case all reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses)

satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interests or the
creation, continuance or enforcement of this Agreement or any or all of the
Obligations.

writing before it changes the location of it chief executive office or the place
where it keeps its books and records. The Debtor agrees not to remove any
Equipment from where it is currently located without the Lender's prior written
consent and until all necessary filings have been made and other actions taken
to continue the perfection of the Lender's Security Interest in such new
location. The Lender's Security Interest attaches to all the Collateral wherever
located, and the failure of Debtor to inform the Lender of the location of any
item or items of Collateral shall not impair the Lender's Security Interest
therein.
(p) Debtor from time to time will execute and deliver or endorse any and
all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments, security agreements,
financing statements and other agreements and writings which the Lender may
reasonably request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security

request or assure that Debtor executes, delivers or endorses any such item shall
not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this
Agreement and the Security Interests, regardless of whether any such item was or
was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior
occasion).
If Debtor at any time fails to perform or observe any of the foregoing
agreements, and if such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) calendar
days after the Lender gives Debtor written notice thereof (or in the case of the
agreements contained in clauses (g) and (1) above, immediately upon the
occurrence of such failure, without notice or lapse of time), the Lender may,
but need not, perform or observe such agreement on behalf and in the name, place
and stead of Debtor (or, at the Lender's option, in the Lender's name) and may,
but need not, take any and all other actions which the Lender may reasonably
deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation,
the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of security interests, liens or
encumbrances, the performance of obligations owed to account debtors or other
obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of
assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement
of instruments); and Debtor shall thereupon pay to the Lender on demand the
amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Lender in connection with or
as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of
such action by the Lender, together with interest thereon from the date expended
or incurred at the highest lawful rate then applicable to any of the
Obligations. To facilitate the performance or observance by the Lender of such
agreements to Debtor, Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender, or the
delegate of the Lender, acting alone, as the attorney-in-fact of Debtor with the
right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete,
execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of Debtor any and
all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing
statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings
required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Debtor under this
Section 1.02.
1.03 With respect to any or all rights to payment constituting Collateral
the Lender may at any time (either before or after the occurrence of an Event of
Default) notify any account debtor or other person obligated to pay the amount
due that such right to payment has been assigned or transferred to the Lender
for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender. Debtor will join in
giving such notice, if the Lender so requests. At any time after Debtor or the
Lender gives such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, the Lender may,
but need not, in the Lender's name or in Debtor's name, (i) demand, sue for,
collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on
account of, or securing, any such right to payment, or grant any extension to,
make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify,
amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such
account debtor or other obligor; and (ii) as agent and attorney-in-fact of
Debtor notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for
delivery of Debtor's mail to any address designated by the Lender and otherwise
intercept, receive, open and dispose of Debtor's mail, applying all Collateral
as permitted under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement and holding all other
mail for Debtor's account or forwarding such mail to Debtor's last known
address.
-4-
<PAGE> 5
1.04 As additional security for the payment and performance of the
Obligations, Debtor hereby assigns to the Lender any and all monies (including,
without limitation, proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due
or to become due under, and all other rights of Debtor with respect to, any and
all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral
or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining
thereto, and Debtor hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay all such
monies directly to the Lender, At any time, whether before or after the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may (but need not), in the
Lender's name or in Debtor's name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive
all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of
such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the
issuer of any such policy.
1.05 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, the Lender may exercise one or more of the following rights and
remedies: (i) declare all unmatured Obligations to be immediately due and
payable, and the same shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without
presentment or other notice or demand (but the Lender expressly reserves the
right to demand payment of any Obligation payable on demand, at any time,
whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing); (ii) exercise
and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limitation, the
right to take possession of Collateral, or any evidence thereof, proceeding
without judicial process or by judicial process (without a prior hearing or
notice thereof, which Debtor hereby expressly waives) and the right to sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, and in connection
therewith Debtor will on demand assemble the collateral and make it available to
the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender which is reasonably
convenient to both parties, and the Lender shall have the right to take
immediate possession of the Collateral and may enter any of the premises of
Debtor or wherever the Collateral is located with or without process of law and
to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be
the property of Debtor, Debtor agrees not to charge the Lender or a purchaser
from the Lender for storage thereof for a period of at least 90 days). If notice
to Debtor of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended action
is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed
commercially reasonable if given (in the manner specified in Section 1.07) at
least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of intended disposition or other
action; (iii) without notice or demand offset any indebtedness the Lender or any
of its participants, successors or assigns then owes to Debtor, whether or not
then due, against any Obligation then owed to the Lender or any of its
participants, successors or assigns by Debtor, whether or not then due; and (iv)
exercise or enforce any and all other rights or remedies available by law or
agreement against the Collateral, against Debtor, or against any other person or
property. The proceeds of all sales and collections will be applied first to all
reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the
like, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses (whether or not suit is
commenced) including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and legal expenses
incurred in connection with any appeal of a lower court's order or judgment and
second to the payment (in whatever order the Lender elects) of all other
Obligations chargeable to Debtor in connection with the loan transactions with
Lender. Subject to the provisions of the Commercial Code, the Lender will return
any excess to the Debtor and the Debtor shall remain liable to the Lender for
any deficiency.
1.06 This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, contract
rights or chattel paper, and, as provided by law, Debtor is entitled to any
surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Lender's duty of care
with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed
fulfilled in the selection of the bailee or other third person, and the Lender
need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. The
Lender shall not be obligated to preserve any rights Debtor may have against
prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner
in order or to apply any cash proceeds of the Collateral in any particular order
of application.
-5-
<PAGE> 6
1.07 This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or
discharged, and the Security Interests can be released, only explicitly in a
writing signed by the Lender. A waiver so signed shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to
act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies
available to the Lender. All rights and remedies of the Lender shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly in any order or sequence, or
concurrently, at the Lender's option, and the exercise or enforcement of any
such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or
enforcement of any other. All notices to be given to Debtor shall be deemed
sufficiently given if delivered or mailed by registered, certified or ordinary
mail, postage prepaid, to Debtor at its address set forth below or at its most
recent address shown on the Lender's records.
1.08 As used herein, the term "Event of Default" shall have the meaning
assigned to such term in the Loan Agreement.
1.09 The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners or joint
venturers, and the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for any
obligation, act or omission of any of its participants.
1.10 This Agreement, and the Security Interests granted hereby, shall be
binding upon Debtor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Lender and each and all of its participants,
successors and assigns, and shall be effective when executed by Debtor and
delivered to the Lender whether or not this Agreement is executed by the Lender.
All rights and powers specifically conferred upon the Lender may be transferred
or delegated to any of the participants, successors or assigns of the Lender.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, this Agreement and the
transaction evidenced hereby shall be governed by the substantive laws of the
state in which this Agreement is accepted by the Lender. If any provision or
application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect,
such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or
applications which can be given effect, and this Agreement shall be construed as
if the unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been
contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement between Debtor and the
Lender shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the creation and payment of the Obligations. Debtor waives notice of the
acceptance of this Agreement by the Lender.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Security Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the proper officers thereunto duly authorized on the day and year

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made as of this 21st day of May, 1999, by the undersigned for
the benefit of BNC NATIONAL BANK OF MINNESOTA (herein, with its participants,
successors and assigns, called "LENDER").
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, and to induce Lender from time to time to make
one or more loans or extend other financial accommodations at the discretion of
the Lender to CONCORDE CRIPPLE CREEK, INC., a Colorado corporation ("BORROWER"),
the undersigned hereby guarantee(s) and agree(s) as follows:
The undersigned hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee(s) to
Lender the full and prompt payment when due (whether on demand or at a stated
maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise) of any and all
present and future debts, liabilities and obligations owed to Lender by any
Borrower; and the undersigned represent(s), warrant(s) and agree(s) that:
1. The debts, liabilities and obligations guaranteed hereby
(collectively referred to herein as the "Indebtedness") shall include, but shall
not be limited to, debts, liabilities and obligations of any Borrower arising
out of loans, credit transactions, financial accommodations, discounts,
purchases of property or other transactions with any Borrower or for any
Borrower's account or out of any other business transaction, or event, owed to
Lender or owed to others by reason of participation granted to or interests
acquired or created for or sold to them by Lender, in each case whether now
existing or hereafter arising, whether arising directly in a transaction or
event involving Lender or acquired by Lender from another by purchase or
assignment or as collateral security, whether owed by any Borrower as drawer,
maker, endorser, accommodation party, guarantor, principal, surety or as a
member of any partnership, syndicate, association or group or in any other
capacity, whether absolute or contingent, direct or indirect, primary or
secondary, joint, several or joint and several, secured or unsecured, due or not
due, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by agreement or imposed by law or
otherwise.
2. No act or thing need occur to establish the liability of the
undersigned hereunder, and no act or thing, except full payment and discharge of
all Indebtedness, shall in any way exonerate the undersigned or modify, reduce,
limit or release the liability of the undersigned hereunder. This is an
absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness
and shall continue to be in force and be binding upon the undersigned, whether
or not all Indebtedness is paid in full, until this Guaranty is revoked
prospectively as to future transactions, by written notice actually received by
Lender, and such revocation shall not be effective as to Indebtedness existing
or committed for at the time of actual receipt of such notice by Lender, or as
to any renewals, extensions and refinancings thereof. Any adjudication of
bankruptcy or death or disability or incapacity of the undersigned shall not
revoke this guaranty, except upon actual receipt of written notice thereof by
Lender and then only prospectively, as to future transactions, as herein set
forth.
3. If the undersigned shall die, shall be or become insolvent or shall
initiate or have initiated against the undersigned any act, process or
proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization law or otherwise for the
<PAGE> 2
modification or adjustment of the rights of creditors, then the undersigned will
forthwith pay to Lender, the full amount of all Indebtedness then outstanding,
whether or not any Indebtedness is then due and payable.
4. Until all of the Indebtedness and the obligations of the undersigned
hereunder have been paid in full, the undersigned shall not have and waives any
right or subrogation to any of the rights of Lender against any Borrower, any
other guarantor, maker or endorser, and waives its rights to any reimbursement,
contribution, recourse and indemnity therefrom; waives any right to enforce any
remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and any
other guarantor, maker or endorser; and waives any benefit of, and any other
right to participate in, any collateral security for the Indebtedness or any
guaranty of the Indebtedness now or hereafter held by Lender.
5. If any payment received and applied by Lender to Indebtedness is
thereafter set aside, recovered or required to be returned for any reason
(including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
any Borrower or such other person), the Indebtedness to which such payment was
applied shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, be deemed to have continued in
existence, notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty shall be
enforceable as to such Indebtedness as fully as if such application had not been
made.
6. Lender shall not be obligated by reason of its acceptance of this
Guaranty to engage in any transactions with or for any Borrower. Whether or not
any existing relationship between the undersigned and any Borrower has been
changed or ended and whether or not this Guaranty has been revoked in accordance
with Paragraph 2, Lender may enter into transactions resulting in the creation
or continuance of Indebtedness and may otherwise agree, consent to, or suffer
the creation or continuance of any Indebtedness, without any consent or approval
by the undersigned and without any prior or subsequent notice to the
undersigned. The liability of the undersigned shall not be affected or impaired
by any of the following acts or things (which Lender is expressly authorized to
do, omit or suffer from time to time, both before and after revocation of this
Guaranty, without consent or approval by or notice to the undersigned): (i) any
acceptance of collateral security, guarantors, accommodation parties or sureties
for any or all Indebtedness; (ii) one or more extensions or renewals of
Indebtedness (whether or not for longer than the original period) or any
modification of the interest rates, maturities or other contractual terms
applicable to any Indebtedness; (iii) any waiver or indulgence granted to any
Borrower, any delay or lack of diligence in the enforcement of Indebtedness, or
any failure to institute proceedings, file a claim, give any required notices or

WAIVER OF INTEREST, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE,
AND AGREEMENT CONCERNING ASSUMPTION OF LEASE
To induce BNC National Bank of Minnesota ("Bank") to enter into a
credit relationship with Concorde Cripple Creek, Inc., a Colorado corporation
("Tenant") and for other good and valuable consideration, Tenant, Elevation
8000+, a Colorado limited liability company ("Landlord") and Bank hereby agree
as follows:
1. Landlord owns certain real property known as the Golden Gates
Casino and legally described as Lots 9-12, inclusive, Block 39, City of Black
Hawk, County of Gilpin, State of Colorado, on which the Tenant's facility is
located (the "Leased Premises") and entered into a Lease Agreement with Tenant
on July 21, 1997, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as
of January 1, 1999, by the terms of which it leased the Leased Premises to the
Tenant. The Lease Agreement as amended shall hereafter be referred to as the
"Lease".
2. The Bank has extended certain loans (the "Loans") to the Tenant
secured by, among other things, personal property of the Tenant located on the
Leased Premises. Landlord acknowledges receipt of notice that the Bank has a
security interest in the personal property of the Tenant located on the Leased
Premises (the "Collateral"). The Landlord does not and shall not have any
interest therein or lien or claim thereon. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Landlord specifically waives and releases each and all
security interests, liens, claims and charges now or at any time hereafter
available to the Landlord with respect to the Collateral located on the Leased
Premises.
3. As further security for the Loans, Tenant hereby assigns its
interest as Tenant pursuant to the Lease to the Bank, together with all of its
right, title and interest in and to the Leased Premises. Tenant warrants and
represents (a) that is has the right to make and enter into this agreement to
grant such assignment and (b) that it is not in default under the terms and
conditions of the Lease.
4. At any time before the expiration or termination of the Lease or
the termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Leased Premises, the
Bank and the Bank's successors or assignees, or any transferee of the Bank's
rights in the Collateral (including, without limitation, a purchaser of such
personal property upon foreclosure or repossession of the Bank's interest in
the Collateral) (such successors, assignees or transferees shall hereafter be
referred to as the "Subsequent Parties") shall be entitled to occupy and take
fully, unrestricted and sole possession of the Leased Premises and shall
further be entitled to assume all of the benefits and burdens of the Lease, but
only upon express written notice of its intention to do so.
5. Prior to occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Bank or Subsequent
Party shall provide ten (10) days prior written notice of its anticipated
occupancy to Landlord as follows:

P.O. Box 163

or such other address as Landlord may from time to time provide the Bank.
6. If the Bank or Subsequent Party assumes possession of the Leased
Premises, it shall, during its time of possession be responsible for compliance
with all of the Lease. If after taking possession of the Leased Premises, but
prior to delivery to the Landlord of written notice of its intention to assume
the Lease, the Bank or Subsequent Party elects to vacate the Leased Premises,
it shall provide Landlord ten (10) days written notice of its intention to do
so, addressed as provided in number 5 above. So long as the Bank or Subsequent
Party has not assumed the Lease, the Bank or Subsequent Party shall not be
liable for any obligations under the Lease arising after it vacates the Leased
Premises.
7. Except for the obligations to pay rent and other obligations
pursuant to the Lease Agreement from the date of its occupancy, the Bank or any
Subsequent Party does not assume, either by this Agreement or actual possession
of the Leased Premises, any past, present or future obligations of Tenant to
Landlord or any other person under the Lease or otherwise. Provided, that the
Bank or any Subsequent Party's occupancy of the Leased Premises shall be
subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, including, without
limitation, use of the Leased Premises.
8. Landlord and Tenant agree that no amendment to the Lease shall be
valid without the written consent of the Bank, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
9. Landlord hereby consents to the foregoing Agreement subject to the
express conditions that (a) Tenant will remain liable for the payment of all
rent and other sums and the performance of all obligations as provided in the
Lease; (b) until the Bank or a Subsequent Party takes possession of the Leased
Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver any notices or perform
any other obligation provided for under the Lease to or for the Bank or a
Subsequent Party, and neither the Bank nor a Subsequent Party shall have any
right to enforce any of Tenant's rights against Landlord; and (c) this
Agreement does not waive any of the rights and remedies of Landlord under the
Lease.
10. Tenant hereby consents to this Agreement, agrees to be bound by
its terms and conditions to the extent that they are applicable to it and
agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless in connection with the
Landlord's compliance with same.
11. This Agreement shall be binding on the successors and assigns of
the parties. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, and a facsimile
