ITEM 2.     ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     As of March 2, 2000, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Isle"), and Isle Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Isle ("Merger Corp.") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of October 5, 1999 (the "Lady Luck Merger Agreement") consummated a
merger with Lady Luck Gaming Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Lady Luck").
Pursuant to the terms of the Lady Luck Merger Agreement, Merger Corp. merged
with and into Lady Luck (the "Lady Luck Merger").  At the effective time of the
Lady Luck Merger, the separate existence of Merger Corp. ceased, Lady Luck
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Isle and each common stockholder of Lady
Luck received cash in the amount of $12.00 per share for an aggregate share
consideration of approximately $59 million.

     Prior to the effective time of the Lady Luck Merger, Lady Luck redeemed all
of its $173.5 million 11 7/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2001 and all of its
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for which the redemption
consideration aggregated approximately $23.5 million.

     Isle also consummated its acquisition of the 50% interest in the Lady Luck
Bettendorf casino and hotel in Bettendorf, Iowa and related real estate owned by
members of the family of Bernard Goldstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Isle.  Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
December 19, 1999 (the "BRDC Merger Agreement") with BRDC, Inc., an Iowa
corporation ("BRDC") and the shareholders of BRDC, BRDC merged with and into
Isle (the "BRDC Merger").  At the effective time of the BRDC Merger, the
separate existence of BRDC ceased and the shareholders of BRDC received an
aggregate of 6,300,000 shares of Isle common stock and a cash payment to be
calculated which is estimated to be approximately $300,000 related to certain
adjustments specified in the BRDC Merger Agreement.

     Lady Luck consummated its acquisition of the Lady Luck trademark and
related intellectual property and all the shares of International Marco Polo's
Services, Inc. pursuant to the First Amendment dated as of October 5, 1999 to
the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement dated as of August 31, 1999
effective as of August 19, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among Lady

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors
BRDC, Inc.
Bettendorf, Iowa

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BRDC, Inc.
and subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of BRDC, Inc. and subsidiary as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                             (Dollars in Thousands)

1.     Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business

     BRDC, Inc. and subsidiary, collectively, (the "Company") was formed to
acquire real estate.

     The Company owns approximately 24.6 acres of land in Bettendorf, Iowa and
100% of Bettendorf Riverfront Development Company, L.C. ("BRDC").  The Company
leases land to its unconsolidated joint venture, Lady Luck Bettendorf, L.C. (The
Bettendorf Joint Venture).  In addition, the Company receives a management fee
for services concerning licensing, staffing and management of the marine aspects
of a gaming vessel.

     Bettendorf Riverfront Development Company, L.C. and Lady Luck Quad Cities,
Inc. ("LLQC") formed an Iowa limited liability company, Lady Luck Bettendorf,
L.C. for the purpose of operating a riverboat casino on the Mississippi River
based in Bettendorf, Iowa.  Under the terms of the Articles of Organization, The
Bettendorf Joint Venture's term will expire in 2065.  BRDC and LLQC each
contributed $3,000 for a 50% ownership interest in The Bettendorf Joint Venture.
All net profits and losses from all operations of The Bettendorf Joint Venture
are allocated equally between LLQC and BRDC.  BRDC and LLQC are each represented
by two managers with most management decisions of The Bettendorf Joint
Venture requiring the approval of both members. (See Note 3 regarding a
reorganization in 1998.)

     The Bettendorf Joint Venture commenced operations on April 21, 1995.  The
Bettendorf Joint Venture is located on a leased parcel of land which is adjacent
to Interstate 74 on the Mississippi River.  The Bettendorf Joint Venture's
operations consist of a 30,000 square foot casino with approximately 50 table
and card games and 1,157 slot machines within three floors of a gaming vessel,
which is approximately 300 feet by 100 feet, a 256-room hotel, buffet style
restaurant, gift shop, commercial center, sports bar, 500-space parking garage
and a land based entertainment area for parties, shows and special events.  The
first floor has a Las Vegas casino theme, the second floor has a sports theme
and the poker room is on the third floor.  The vessel is certified for 2,500
passengers including crew.  The Bettendorf Joint Venture's market is
concentrated in a radius of 50 miles of the Quad City Area and the Chicago area
serviced by ongoing bus programs.

     The Company records its investment in the above joint venture under the
equity method of accounting.



Significant accounting policies

Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of BRDC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bettendorf Riverfront
Development Company, L.C.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

1.          Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     Property and improvements. Property and improvements are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives
for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

               Buildings                     31     years
               Land improvements          15-20     years

     Costs of major improvements are capitalized, while costs of normal repairs
and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

     Income taxes. The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected to
be taxed under sections of federal and state income tax laws, which provide
that, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders separately account
for their pro rata shares of the Company's items of income, deductions, losses
and credits.

     The Company expects to pay dividends to assist the stockholders in paying
their federal and state income tax liabilities resulting from the taxation of
their proportionate share of the Company's income and deductions.

     Net income per share. Net income per share is computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding each year.  The Company
does not have any dilutive securities.

     Financial instruments. The Company has reviewed the following financial
instruments and has determined that their fair values approximated their
carrying values as of December 31, 1998 and 1997: cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Notes payable are
at approximately current rates except for a term loan which was paid off after
year-end and which approximates fair value.

2.     Certain Risks and Uncertainties

     The Joint Venture's operations in Iowa are dependent upon its continued
ability to be licensed by the respective gaming authorities.  Such licenses are
reviewed periodically by the gaming authorities in these states.

3.     Reorganization

     In 1998, the members of Bettendorf Riverfront Development Company, L.C.
contributed their membership interests to BRDC, Inc. in exchange for the stock
of BRDC, Inc.  BRDC, Inc. had no assets or liabilities prior to the exchange.

     Since the Company and Bettendorf Riverfront Development Company, L.C. were
under common control, the transaction has been accounted for in a manner similar
to a pooling-of-interest and, as such, the transaction had no effect on the
consolidated financial statements for any period presented.

8.     Subsequent Events

     Subsequent to year-end, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank
to borrow $8,500.  The proceeds were used to retire the notes payable to a
related party and a term loan.  The new loan bears interest at 7.3% with monthly
payments of $170 with a final payment due February 1, 2004.  The loan is
collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company.  The loan can be
prepaid if the borrower gives at lease thirty days prior written notice to
prepay and pays a prepayment premium based on a range depending on timing of
prepayment.

     The shareholders of the Company have entered into a letter of intent for a
tax-free merger with the Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc.  The agreement is subject
to approval by the shareholders of the Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc.  Effective
with the merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease.

                       UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements are based on the historical financial statements of the Company
adjusted to give effect to the Lady Luck Gaming Corporation ("LUCK")
Acquisition, LUCK's purchase of Gamblers Supply Management Company ("Miss
Marquette" or "MM"), and the BRDC, Inc. ("BRDC") Acquisition.  The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 24, 1999 gives effect
to the LUCK Acquisition, LUCK's purchase of Miss Marquette, and the BRDC
Acquisition as if such transactions had occurred on October 24, 1999.  The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended April 25, 1999, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the six months ended October 24, 1999, gives effect
to the LUCK Acquisition, LUCK's purchase of Miss Marquette, and the BRDC
Acquisition as if such transactions had occurred on April 27, 1998.

     The LUCK Acquisition, LUCK's purchase of Miss Marquette and the BRDC
Acquisition have been or will be accounted for by the Company using the purchase
method of accounting.  The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently
available information and certain assumptions that management believes are
reasonable.  In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the pro forma statements have been made.  The actual
purchase price adjustments will be determined based on the fair market value of
the assets and liabilities acquired and may differ significantly from the
amounts reflected in the pro forma adjustments.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operation which
would have been achieved had the above mentioned transactions occurred on the
indicated dates, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of future
operations.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of
the Company and LUCK which are incorporated herein by reference as well as BRDC
which is included elsewhere in this filing.
