                             HARVEYS CASINO RESORTS
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the following footnotes, the words, "Company" and "Harveys" refer to Harveys
Casino Resorts, a Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries unless
the context requires otherwise.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

    Founded in 1944, Harveys has been engaged in the casino entertainment
    industry for over 55 years. On February 2, 1999, Harveys Acquisition
    Corporation merged with and into Harveys (the "Colony/Harveys merger").
    Harveys was the surviving corporation in the merger and is continuing
    business operations as conducted prior to the merger. Harveys Tahoe
    Management Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns and operates
    Harveys Resort & Casino on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Harveys
    Iowa Management Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, is the owner
    and operator of Harveys Casino Hotel, a riverboat casino, hotel and
    convention center complex in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Harveys
    C. C. Management Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns and operates
    Harveys Wagon Wheel Hotel/Casino in Central City, Colorado.

    On October 6, 1999, HBR Realty Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
    of Harveys, purchased the net assets (excluding the gaming equipment) of
    Bluffs Run Casino, the greyhound racetrack and casino in Council Bluffs,
    Iowa. The facilities were purchased pursuant to a Purchase and Sale
    Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions dated as of August 31, 1999 by
    and between HBR Realty Company and Iowa West Racing Association.
    Immediately after closing of the transaction, the Bluffs Run Casino
    facilities were leased back to Iowa West Racing Association for an
    initial term of 25 years. At the same time, Iowa West Racing Association
    retained Harveys BR Management Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
    of Harveys, to manage the operations of Bluffs Run Casino for a minimum
    of 25 years. Iowa West Racing Association continues to hold the
    pari-mutuel and gaming licenses under Iowa law. Harveys, through its
    wholly-owned subsidiaries, receives management fees and lease income
    generally equal to the ongoing cash flow from the operations of Bluffs
    Run Casino.

    The Colony/Harveys merger was accounted for as a purchase. This required
    an allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and
    liabilities assumed based on their fair value at the time of the merger. As
    a result, the consolidated financial statements for the periods after the
    merger are presented on a different basis of accounting from those for the
    periods before the merger and, therefore, are not directly comparable. The
    accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed
    consolidated statements of cash flows for periods prior to the merger are
    captioned as the predecessor company and are shown for informational
    purposes.


                                        6

<PAGE>


    The October 6, 1999 acquisition of the net assets of Bluffs Run Casino was
    accounted for as a purchase. Consequently, the net assets acquired are
    included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on their fair
    value as of the date of acquisition. The condensed consolidated statements
    of operations include the revenues and expenses of Bluffs Run Casino for the
    periods following the October 6, 1999 acquisition date.

    The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
    Harveys and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
    accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

    The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 1999 has been
    prepared from the audited financial statements at that date. The
    accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at August 31, 2000
    and 1999, have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and
    regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain
    information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles have been condensed or omitted.

    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the
    current quarter presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net
    income (loss).

    All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
    for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and
    cash flows have been included. Results of operations for interim periods
    should not be considered to be indicative of results for the full fiscal
    year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
    Report on Form 10- K for the year ended November 30, 1999.

2.  PROPOSED MERGER

    On April 17, 2000, PH Casino Resorts, a newly formed subsidiary of Harveys
    Casino Resorts, entered into a definitive agreement with Pinnacle
    Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Hollywood Park, Inc.) pursuant to which PH
    Casino Resorts would acquire by merger all of the outstanding capital stock
    of Pinnacle. Concurrently with entering into the Pinnacle merger agreement,
    PH Casino Resorts entered into a merger agreement with Harveys to enable it
    to own both Pinnacle and Harveys as subsidiaries. The Harveys merger
    agreement provides that, upon the terms and conditions contained therein,
    one of PH Casino Resorts' newly formed wholly owned subsidiaries will be
    merged into Harveys with Harveys surviving as one of PH Casino Resorts'
    wholly owned subsidiaries. The Harveys merger is subject to the
    satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others,
    the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the closing of the
    Pinnacle merger.


                                        7

<PAGE>

    Pinnacle is a gaming company that owns and operates six casinos in Nevada,
    Mississippi, Louisiana and Argentina. Pinnacle also receives lease income
    from two card club casinos in the Los Angeles area. Pinnacle is in the
    process of constructing a casino resort in southern Indiana.

    Upon closing of the merger, PH Casino Resorts will acquire all of the then
    outstanding stock of Pinnacle for $24 in cash per fully diluted share.
    Additional consideration of up to $1 in cash per fully diluted share may be
    payable contingent upon the timing and net after tax proceeds of Pinnacle's
    sale of 97 acres of surplus land in Inglewood, California. As a condition to
    the proposed transaction, senior management of Pinnacle will contribute $50
    million of Pinnacle shares and share equivalents to PH Casino Resorts and
    will assume an ongoing role with PH Casino Resorts.

    Consummation of the merger is subject to, among other things, regulatory
    approvals in the various jurisdictions in which Pinnacle and Harveys conduct
    gaming operations, completion of PH Casino Resorts' financing for the
    transaction and satisfaction of other conditions precedent, including the
    opening of Pinnacle's Indiana casino resort (currently under construction),
    substantially in accordance with its current budget, not later than November
    15, 2000.

</TABLE>

    Senior Subordinated Notes - The indenture governing the senior subordinated
    notes contains certain covenants that impose limitations on, among other
    things: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Company, (ii)
    the payment of dividends, (iii) the repurchase of capital stock and the
    making of certain other restricted payments and restricted investments (each
    defined in the indenture), (iv) mergers, consolidations and sales of assets,
    (v) the creation or incurrence of liens on the assets of the Company, and
    (vi) transactions by the Company or any of its subsidiaries with affiliates
    (as defined in the indenture). These limitations are subject to a number of
    qualifications and exceptions as described in the indenture. The Company was
    in compliance with these covenants at August 31, 2000.


                                        8

<PAGE>

    The premium on the senior subordinated notes is being amortized as a
    reduction of interest expense over the remaining term of the notes.

    Note Payable to Banks - A second amended and restated credit facility, dated
    as of October 5, 1999, provides a revolving loan facility, a swingline
    facility that allows borrowing on same- day notice and a letter of credit
    facility. The Company can borrow up to $10 million under the swingline
    facility. The maximum available under the credit facility, including amounts
    outstanding under the swingline facility and letters of credit exposure, was
    originally $335 million. The maximum permitted principal balance reduces
    quarterly, beginning August 31, 2000 and was $331.7 million on that date.
    The credit facility matures and is fully due and payable on September 30,
    2004.

    At August 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $212.5 million in
    outstanding borrowings and approximately $48.5 million in letters of credit
    exposure.

    Interest on outstanding borrowings accrues at a base rate plus an applicable
    margin. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate or the
    federal funds rate plus one-half of one percent. The Company may, at its
    option and under certain circumstances, elect to pay interest based on the
    London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus an applicable margin. The
    applicable margins are based on the ratio of total funded debt to earnings
    before deductions for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
    ("EBITDA"). The applicable margins are determined quarterly and are subject
    to change. At August 31, 2000 the applicable margin relative to the base
    rate was 1.00% and the applicable margin relative to the LIBOR was 2.00%.

    The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective March 1,
    2000, to reduce the potential impact of increases in interest rates on
    variable-rate debt. The notional amount of the interest rate cap agreement
    was $48 million on March 1, 2000 and reduces quarterly over the 35 month
    term of the agreement. The notional amount at August 31, 2000 was $39.0
    million. The agreement entitles the Company to receive from counterparties,
    on a monthly basis, the amount, if any, by which the Company's interest
    payments on its floating LIBOR- based debt exceeds the amount that would
    have been paid if the one-month LIBO rate was capped at 7.5%. The
    combination of the interest rate cap agreement and the terms of the credit
    facility result in the Company paying interest, on an amount of
    variable-rate debt equal to the notional amount of the interest rate cap
    agreement, at a variable rate (LIBOR plus 2.00%), not to exceed 9.5%.

    The cost of acquiring the interest rate cap agreement is being amortized to
    interest expense over the term of the agreement. The unamortized cost is
    included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
    Amounts receivable under the interest rate cap agreement are recorded as a
    reduction of interest expense.

    The amounts the banks lend under the credit facility are secured by
    substantially all of the Company's assets including a pledge of the capital
    stock of its subsidiaries.

                                        9

<PAGE>

    The credit facility contains a number of covenants that restrict the ability
    of the Company to: (i) dispose of assets, (ii) incur additional
    indebtedness, (iii) prepay any of the 10 5/8% senior subordinated notes,
    (iv) pay dividends, (v) create liens on assets, (vi) make investments,
    loans or advances, (vii) engage in mergers or consolidations, change the
    Company's business, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and
    (viii) engage in certain corporate activities. The Company is required to
    maintain specified financial ratios and net worth requirements, satisfy
    specified financial tests, including interest coverage tests, and
    maintain certain levels of annual capital expenditures. At August 31,
    2000, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

4.  REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

    At August 31, 2000, the Company had outstanding 10 shares of 13 1/2% Series
    A Senior Redeemable Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock and 99,990 shares
    of 13 1/2% Series B Senior Redeemable Convertible Cumulative Preferred
    Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock each have a
    liquidation value of $550 per share. Both series of preferred stock are
    entitled to quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 13 1/2% of the
    liquidation value. If dividends are not paid in cash when due, they cumulate
    and compound at an annual rate of 13 1/2%. The Company must redeem all the
    outstanding preferred stock on February 1, 2011, for cash, at the
    liquidation value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, and has the right
    to redeem the preferred stock, at any time, at the liquidation value plus
    any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
    are convertible, at any time on or prior to February 1, 2002, into
    corresponding shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock. The right of
    conversion, as it relates to the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, only
    vests in, and is only exercisable by, the current holders of preferred stock
    and their affiliates (as that term is defined in the certificate of
    designation that governs the preferred stock). The conversion rate
    of common stock per share of preferred stock, in each case, is subject to
    customary antidilution adjustments. The conversion of the preferred stock
    to common stock would require the approval of all applicable gaming
    authorities. At the time of conversion, the Company would have the
    option of satisfying any accrued and unpaid dividends due on the preferred
    stock being converted by paying cash or issuing additional shares of the
    corresponding Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock having a market
    value equal to the amount of accrued dividends.

    On October 3, 2000, the certificate of designation was amended to
    establish the conversion rate with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock
    at 2,844.6452 shares of common stock per share of preferred stock and
    with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock at 28.44929681 shares of
    common stock per share of preferred stock.

    The certificate of designation contains covenants which: (i) limit the
    ability to make restricted payments or investments, (ii) limit
    consolidation, merger and the sale of assets, (iii) require the Company to
    provide certain financial reports, and (iv) limit business activities. At
    August 31, 2000, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

    The combined liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
    Preferred Stock at August 31, 2000 was $55 million. Additionally, on that
    date, there were approximately $12.9 million of accrued and unpaid dividends
    on the preferred stock.

5.  DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WRITE-DOWNS

    In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, Harveys reviewed its business
    development plans as they related to a proposed resort in Salisbury Beach,
    Massachusetts. As a result of that review, the Company abandoned the project
    and wrote off approximately $1.3 million of real estate options and
    architectural designs. In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company
    wrote off approximately $2.0 million related to a proposed casino project in
    Las Vegas which the Company chose not to pursue.

6.  CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

    Effective December 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position
    ("SOP") 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities. SOP 98-5 was
    issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
    Institute of Certified Public Accountants and its provisions are effective
    for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-5 requires costs
    of start-up activities (commonly referred to as preopening costs in the
    gaming industry) to be expensed as incurred. The initial effect of adopting
    SOP 98-5 is reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
    principle. As required, all capitalized preopening costs as of December 1,
    1999 were written off. These costs included previously deferred organization
    and licensing costs. The write-offs resulted in a charge of approximately
    $3.1 million, net of an income tax benefit of approximately $1.4 million.

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

In the following discussion, the words "Harveys," "Company," "we," "our," and
"us" refer to Harveys Casino Resorts, a Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.

On February 2, 1999, Harveys Acquisition Corporation (an affiliate of Colony
Capital, LLC) merged with and into Harveys (the "Colony/Harveys merger"). The
Company was the surviving corporation in the Colony/Harveys merger and we are
continuing our business operations as conducted prior to the Colony/Harveys
merger. We currently own and operate Harveys Resort & Casino ("Harveys Lake
Tahoe"), Harveys Casino Hotel ("Harveys Council Bluffs") and Harveys Wagon Wheel
("Harveys Colorado"). On October 6, 1999, we purchased the net assets
(excluding the gaming equipment) of, and commenced management of, Bluffs Run
Casino, a facility under license from Iowa West Racing Association. The
following table presents certain operating results for the Company's
properties. For comparative purposes, results for the first nine months of
fiscal 1999 have been presented on a combined nine-month basis by aggregating
the results for the period December 1, 1998 through February 1, 1999 with the
results for the period February 2, 1999 (the date of the Colony/Harveys
merger) through August 31, 1999. The acquisition of Bluffs Run Casino was
accounted for as a purchase and, consequently, the results of operations prior
to the October 6, 1999 acquisition date were not consolidated with those of
Harveys. The three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2000 include
the full operations of Bluffs Run Casino for those periods while the comparable
three and nine-month periods of the prior year do not include any results from
Bluffs Run Casino, thus creating significant variances when comparing 2000's
financial results with those of 1999.

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 TO THE QUARTER ENDED AUGUST 31,
1999

Our total net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 amounted to $125.0
million, an improvement of $36.5 million, or 41.3%, over our net revenues
recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Excluding the net revenue from
Bluffs Run Casino, our same-store net revenue improved by $1.5 million, or 1.7%.
Our net revenue at Harveys Lake Tahoe increased by $2.8 million, or 6.5% and at
Harveys Council Bluffs by $0.3 million, or 1.0%, while net revenue declined at
Harveys Colorado by $1.5 million, or 10.3 percent.

Our gaming revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 amounted to $100.6
million, including $31.9 million from Bluffs Run Casino, an improvement of $32.3
million, or 47.4%, over the comparable quarter of the prior year. Our same-store
gaming revenue improved by $0.4 million, or 0.6 percent. Gaming revenue at
Harveys Lake Tahoe increased by $1.8 million and at Harveys Council Bluffs by
$0.2 million, while gaming revenues declined at Harveys Colorado by $1.5
million. Harveys Lake Tahoe's increase in gaming revenue was due primarily to an
increase in casino volume and an improved table game hold percentage. The higher
volume of casino activity at Harveys Lake Tahoe was the result of increased room
nights occupied, increased customer head counts and the result of benefiting
from the temporary construction disruption at a major competitor. Harveys
Council Bluffs' gaming revenue improvement was due primarily to increased slot
volume and win. Harveys Colorado's gaming revenue decline was primarily the
result of additional competition in nearby Black Hawk, Colorado. The addition of
Bluffs Run Casino contributed $1.6 million in racing revenue. Our lodging
revenue increased by $0.7 million, or 6.2 percent. The increase in lodging
revenue resulted from increased room nights occupied and improved revenue per
available room at Harveys Lake Tahoe. Our food and beverage revenues increased
by $2.6 million, or 18.7%, including $2.1 million from Bluffs Run Casino. Our
same-store food and beverage revenue improved by $0.6 million, or 4.1%, the
result of increased average checks in the restaurants at Harveys Lake Tahoe and
Harveys Council Bluffs. Other revenue increased by $0.7 million, including $0.2
million from Bluffs Run Casino. Our same-store other revenue improved by $0.5
million, or 21.9 percent.

Including $27.0 million from Bluffs Run Casino, our total expenses for the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 amounted to $101.3 million, an increase of $31.2 million,
or 44.4%, over the comparable quarter of the prior year. Our same-store expenses
increased by $4.2 million, or 6.0%, over the comparable quarter of the prior
year. Our total expenses at Harveys Lake Tahoe increased by $2.0 million, at
Harveys Council Bluffs by $1.2 million and at Harveys Colorado by $0.3 million,
while our total corporate expenses increased by $0.7 million.

Our gaming expenses increased by $15.0 million, or 46.9%, for the third quarter
of fiscal 2000 over the comparable quarter of the prior year. Excluding $13.1
million from Bluffs Run Casino, our same-store gaming expenses increased by $1.9
million, or 5.9 percent. Gaming expenses at Harveys Lake Tahoe increased by $0.5
million, the result of increased promotional expense, at Harveys Council Bluffs
by $0.9 million, the result of increased gaming taxes and promotional expenses,
and at Harveys Colorado by $0.5 million, the result of increases in payroll and
related costs (due to a more competitve labor market), gaming taxes and
promotional expenses. Our food and beverage expenses increased by


                                       14

<PAGE>

$3.1 million, or 37.8%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 over the comparable
quarter of the prior year. Excluding $2.6 million from Bluffs Run Casino, our
same-store food and beverage expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 5.9% ,
primarily resulting from increased expenses at Harveys Lake Tahoe. Our selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $5.7 million, or 30.1%, for the
third quarter of fiscal 2000 over the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Excluding $5.4 million from Bluffs Run Casino, our same-store selling, general
and administrative expenses remained relatively level with the prior year
period. Our depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $3.2 million, or
48.4%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 over the comparable quarter of the
prior year. The $3.2 million included an increase of approximately $2.1 million
in the amortization of costs in excess of net assets acquired in the
Colony/Harveys merger and in the acquisition of the net assets of Bluffs Run
Casino. The balance of the increase for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was
primarily the result of the change in the accounting basis for property and
equipment brought on by the Colony/Harveys merger and additional depreciation
from Bluffs Run Casino. As a result of the Colony/Harveys merger financing and
the 100% financing of the acquisition of the net assets of Bluffs Run Casino,
our average long-term debt during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was
substantially higher than during the comparable period of fiscal 1999.
Consequently, our interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $2.8
million to $9.5 million.


COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
AUGUST 31, 1999

Our total net revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 amounted to
$351.5 million, including $99.5 million from Bluffs Run Casino, an improvement
of $109.6 million, or 45.3%, over our net revenues recorded in the same period
of fiscal 1999. Excluding the net revenue from Bluffs Run Casino, our same-store
net revenue improved by $10.1 million, or 4.2 percent. Our net revenue at
Harveys Lake Tahoe increased by $8.4 million, or 7.9%, and at Harveys Council
Bluffs by $4.2 million, or 4.6%, while net revenue declined at Harveys Colorado
by $2.5 million, or 5.8 percent.

Our gaming revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 amounted to $287.3
million, including $90.4 million from Bluffs Run Casino, an improvement of $97.1
million, or 51.1%, over the same period of the prior year. Our same-store gaming
revenue improved by $6.7 million. Our gaming revenue at Harveys Lake Tahoe
increased by $5.4 million and at Harveys Council Bluffs by $3.8 million, while
gaming revenues declined at Harveys Colorado by $2.5 million. Harveys Lake
Tahoe's increase in gaming revenue was due primarily to an increase in casino
volume and an improved table game hold percentage. The higher volume of casino
activity at Harveys Lake Tahoe was the result of increased customer head counts
and the result of benefiting from the temporary construction disruption at a
major competitor. Harveys Council Bluffs' gaming revenue improvement was due
primarily to increased slot volume and win. Harveys Colorado's gaming revenue
decline was primarily the result of additional competition in nearby Black Hawk,
Colorado. The addition of Bluffs Run Casino contributed $4.7 million in racing
revenue. Our lodging revenue increased by $0.9 million, or 3.1 percent. The
increase in


                                       15

<PAGE>

lodging revenue resulted primarily from improved revenue per available room at
Harveys Lake Tahoe. Our food and beverage revenues increased by $7.9 million, or
20.8%, including $5.8 million from Bluffs Run Casino. Our same-store food and
beverage revenue improved by $2.1 million, or 5.5 percent. Other revenue
increased by $1.4 million or 22.6%, including $0.5 million from Bluffs Run
Casino. Our same-store other revenue increased by $ 0.9 million, or 14.8
percent.

Our total expenses for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000 amounted to
$293.0 million which included $78.3 million from Bluffs Run Casino, $0.4 million
of costs related to the proposed Pinnacle merger and $1.3 million of business
project write-down. The first nine months of fiscal year 1999 included no costs
from Bluffs Run Casino, $19.9 million of Colony/Harveys merger costs and $2.2
million of business project write-downs. Excluding Bluffs Run Casino, merger
costs, and business project write-downs, comparable expenses in the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 amounted to $213.0 million compared to $202.6 million in
fiscal 1999. Our same-store expenses increased by $10.4 million or 5.1%, over
the same period of the prior year. Our total expenses at Harveys Lake Tahoe
increased by $3.9 million, at Harveys Council Bluffs by $4.3 million and at
Harveys Colorado by $1.0 million, while our total corporate expenses
increased by $1.2 million.

Our gaming expenses increased by $42.3 million, or 44.9%, for the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 over the same period of the prior year. Excluding $38.7
million from Bluffs Run Casino, our same-store gaming expenses increased by $3.6
million, or 3.9 percent. Gaming expenses at Harveys Lake Tahoe increased by $0.4
million, the result of increased gaming taxes and promotional expenses, at
Harveys Council Bluffs by $2.6 million, the result of increased gaming taxes and
promotional expenses and at Harveys Colorado by $0.6 million, primarily the
result of increases in payroll and related costs. Our food and beverage expenses
increased by $8.9 million, or 39.1%, for the first nine months of fiscal 2000
over the same period of the prior year. Excluding $7.5 million from Bluffs Run
Casino, our same-store food and beverage expenses increased by $1.4 million, or
6.0%, resulting from increased expenses at Harveys Lake Tahoe. Our selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $17.5 million, or 31.7%, for
the first nine months of fiscal 2000 over the same period of the prior year.
Excluding $14.9 million from Bluffs Run Casino, our same-store selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 4.6 percent. Our
depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $10.0 million, or 55.7%, for
the first nine months of fiscal 2000 over the same period of the prior year.
This increase included an increase of approximately $6.7 million of amortization
of costs in excess of net assets acquired in the Colony/Harveys merger and in
the acquisition of the net assets of Bluffs Run Casino. The balance of the
increase for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was primarily the result of
the change in the accounting basis for property and equipment brought on by the
Colony/Harveys merger and additional depreciation from Bluffs Run Casino. As a
result of the Colony/Harveys merger financing and the 100% financing of the
acquisition of the net assets of Bluffs Run Casino, our average long-term debt
during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was substantially higher than during
the comparable period of fiscal 1999. Consequently, our interest expense, net of
interest income, increased by $9.7 million to $28.5 million.

Our results for the quarter and nine months ended August 31, 2000 were affected
by other factors, including a development project write-off in the second
quarter and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, we reviewed our business development plans
as they related to a proposed resort in Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts. As a
result of that review, we abandoned the project and wrote off approximately $1.3
million of real estate options and architectural designs. In the second quarter
of fiscal 1999, we wrote off approximately $2.0 million related to a proposed
casino project in Las Vegas which we chose not to pursue.

Effective December 1, 1999, we adopted Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on
the Costs of Start-Up Activities. The provisions of this accounting
pronouncement require costs of start-up activities (commonly referred to as
preopening costs in the gaming industry) to be expensed as incurred. The initial
effect upon adoption is reported as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. As required, we wrote off all capitalized preopening costs
as of December 1, 1999. These costs included previously deferred organization
and licensing costs. The write-off resulted in a charge of approximately $3.1
million, net of an income tax benefit of approximately $1.4 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of cash during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was
approximately $49.1 million of cash flow from operations, compared to
approximately $32.7 million of aggregate cash flow from operations in the first
nine months of the prior fiscal year. We expended approximately $13.6 million on
capital improvements and replacements and paid approximately $2.2 million of
construction payables on our parking structure at Harveys Casino Hotel in
Council Bluffs. We were also able to reduce our outstanding indebtedness under
our credit facility by approximately $31.4 million.

Primarily as a result of the above, our cash and cash equivalents increased by
$1.8 million, from $32.5 million at November 30, 1999 to $34.3 million at August
31, 2000. Additionally, our outstanding debt decreased from $393.9 million at
the end of fiscal 1999 to $362.5 million at August 31, 2000, excluding the
unamortized premium on our senior subordinated notes. Our debt at August 31,
2000 consisted of $150 million of senior subordinated notes and $212.5 million
outstanding under our credit facility.

In addition to our debt, we were obligated at August 31, 2000 for an aggregate
of approximately $67.9 million on our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock and the unpaid dividends accrued thereon.

At August 31, 2000, we also had approximately $48.5 million of standby letters
of credit outstanding, including a $45.0 million irrevocable letter of credit to
support contingent

                                       17

<PAGE>

consideration of up to $50.0 million which may be due as part of the
consideration paid for assets of Bluffs Run Casino. The contingent payment
depends on the results of a referendum to be decided by the voters of
Pottawattamie County, Iowa in November of 2002.

Our credit facility matures and is fully due and payable on September 30, 2004.
The permitted principal balance of the credit facility reduces on a quarterly
basis, beginning August 31, 2000. Given our outstanding balance at August 31,
2000 and our anticipated sources and uses of cash, we do not expect to be
subject to any mandatory principal payment requirements during the next twelve
months. Interest on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility are
payable, at our option, at either LIBOR or an alternative base rate, in each
case plus an applicable margin. In the future, the applicable margins may be
changed, based on the ratio of our total funded debt to EBITDA. The credit
facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, subject to
applicable gaming approvals, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur
additional indebtedness, prepay any principal amount of our $150 million senior
subordinated notes, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments,
loans or advances, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the nature of our
business or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise
restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, under the credit facility,
we are required to maintain specified financial ratios and net worth
requirements, satisfy specified financial tests, including interest coverage
tests, and maintain certain levels of annual capital expenditures. The credit
facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this nature.

Our senior subordinated notes are governed by an indenture and are general
unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all
existing and future senior debt of the Company. Interest on the senior
subordinated notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each
year. The senior subordinated notes mature on June 1, 2006. The senior
subordinated notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any
time on or after June 1, 2001 at prices ranging from 105.313% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest beginning June 1, 2004 and thereafter. The indenture
contains certain covenants that impose limitations on, among other things, the
incurrence of additional indebtedness, the payment of dividends, the repurchase
of capital stock and the making of certain other restricted payments and
restricted investments (as defined in the indenture), mergers, consolidations
and sales of assets by the Company, the creation or incurrence of liens on the
assets of the Company, and transactions by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries with affiliates (as defined in the indenture). These limitations
are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions as described in the
indenture.

Our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to
quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 13 1/2% of the $550 per share
liquidation value. To the extent we do not pay the dividends in cash, dividends
will cumulate and compound quarterly at an annual rate of 13 1/2%. The Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are subject to mandatory redemption
on February 1, 2011 for cash at the liquidation value plus any accrued and
unpaid dividends. We have the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock and
the Series B Preferred Stock at any time for cash at the liquidation value plus
any accrued and unpaid dividends. The certificate of

                                       18

<PAGE>

designation for the preferred stock contains covenants which limit restricted
payments or investments; limit consolidation, merger and the sale of assets;
mandate the provision of financial reports; and limit business activities.
Upon the receipt of all applicable gaming approvals the Series A Preferred
Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are convertible at any time on or before
February 1, 2002, to shares of the Class A Common and Class B Common,
respectively, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The right of
conversion, as it relates to our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, only
vests in, and is only exercisable by, the current holders of our preferred
stock and their affiliates (as that term is defined in the certificate of
designation). Any accrued and unpaid dividends at the time of a conversion
will be required to be paid in cash or, at our election, may be satisfied
with additional shares of the corresponding common stock having a fair market
value equal to the amount of accrued dividends.

On October 3, 2000, the certificate of designation was amended to establish
the conversion rate with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock at 2,844.6452
shares of common stock per share of preferred stock and with respect to the
Series B Preferred Stock at 28.44929681 shares of common stock per share of
preferred stock.

As of August 31, 2000, we were in compliance with the covenants under the credit
facility, the indenture and the certificate of designation.

At the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2000, we had approximately $70.6
million available to us under the bank credit facility, net of outstanding
letters of credit and subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. We
also had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $34.3 million.

We anticipate expending an additional $7.3 million for maintenance capital
expenditures and property improvements in fiscal 2000. We believe that our
existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and our borrowing
capacity under the credit facility will be sufficient to meet the cash
requirements of our existing operations for at least the next twelve months,
including capital improvements and replacements at the operating properties and
debt service requirements. We currently believe that cash requirements of our
existing operations beyond the next twelve months will consist of debt service
requirements and capital improvements and replacements in the ordinary course,
which we expect to be met by then-existing cash, cash flows from operations and
borrowing capacity under the credit facility. Other than the proposed merger
discussed below and the $50 million contingent payment which may become due
after the vote on the referendum in Pottawattamie County, Iowa in November 2002,
we do not currently anticipate incurring material capital expenditures, balloon
or other extraordinary payments on long-term obligations or any other
extraordinary demands or commitments beyond the next twelve months. We do not
expect to pay cash dividends on the preferred stock prior to 2004 because of,
among other reasons, restrictions in the credit facility and the indenture on
the payment of cash dividends.

On April 17, 2000, our newly formed subsidiary, PH Casino Resorts, entered into
a definitive agreement with Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Hollywood
Park, Inc.) pursuant to which PH Casino Resorts would acquire by merger all of
the outstanding capital stock of Pinnacle for $24 in cash per fully diluted
share (or aggregate cash consideration of approximately $664.1 million).
Additional consideration of up to $1 in cash per fully diluted share may be
payable

                                       19

<PAGE>

depending upon the timing and net after tax proceeds of Pinnacle's sale of 97
acres of surplus land in Inglewood, California.

Concurrent with the closing of the Pinnacle merger, a wholly owned subsidiary of
PH Casino Resorts will merge with and into Harveys with Harveys surviving as a
wholly owned subsidiary of PH Casino Resorts.

Consummation of the mergers are subject to, among other things, completion of
PH Casino Resorts' financing for the transaction. The Company currently
believes that the financing will be provided by some combination of: (i)
assumption of existing debt of Pinnacle, (ii) issuance of unsecured
subordinated debt, (iii) issuance of preferred stock, (iv) incurrence of
secured bank financing, (v) conversion of Harveys' redeemable preferred stock
into common equity, and (vi) equity contributions by key shareholders of
Pinnacle. However, we cannot make any assurances that financing will be
available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Borrowings
outstanding under our credit facility are subject to variable interest rates.
The amount outstanding under our credit facility at August 31, 2000 was
approximately $212.5 million, subject to a weighted-average interest rate of
8.66%. Assuming an identical outstanding balance, a hypothetical immediate 100
basis point increase in interest rates would increase interest expense for the
next twelve months by approximately $2.1 million.

The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective March 1,
2000, to reduce the potential impact of increases in interest rates on
variable-rate debt. The notional amount of the interest rate cap agreement was
$48 million on March 1, 2000 and reduces quarterly over the 35 month term of the
agreement. The notional amount on August 31, 2000 was $39.0 million. The
agreement entitles the Company to receive from counterparties, on a monthly
basis, the amount, if any, by which the Company's interest payments on its
floating LIBOR-based debt exceeds the amount that would have been paid if the
one-month LIBO rate was capped at 7.5%. The combination of the interest rate cap
agreement and the terms of the credit facility result in the Company paying
interest, on an amount of variable-rate debt equal to the notional amount of the
interest rate cap agreement, at a variable rate (LIBOR plus 2.00%), not to
exceed 9.50%. We may use additional derivative financial instruments in the
future as a risk management tool. We do not use derivative financial instruments
for speculative or trading purposes.

The fair value of the Company's fixed rate long-term debt, consisting of our
$150 million of senior subordinated notes and approximately $5.9 million of
unamortized premium on the senior subordinated notes on August 31, 2000, and the
fair value of the Company's fixed rate preferred stock, are sensitive to
differences between market interest rates and rates at the time of issuance. A
hypothetical immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates at August 31,
2000 would have decreased the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt by
approximately $13.9 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest
rates would have increased the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt at
August 31, 2000 by approximately $16.9 million. A hypothetical immediate 100
basis point increase in interest rates would have decreased the fair value of
our fixed rate preferred stock by approximately $4.5 million at August 31, 2000.
Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would have increased
the fair value of our preferred stock by approximately $5.1 million.

SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

This document includes various "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Sections 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which
represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events.
Statements containing expressions such as "believes", "anticipates", or

to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes its
expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its
knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurances that
actual results will not materially differ from expected results. The Company
cautions that these and similar statements included in this report and in
previously filed periodic reports, including reports filed on Forms 10-K and
10-Q, are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, without limitation, the following: ability to complete
the proposed merger with Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., including the receipt
of required regulatory approvals and necessary licenses; risks associated
with indebtedness, leverage, debt service and liquidity following the merger,
if it is completed; increased competition in existing markets or the opening
of new gaming jurisdictions; a decline in the public acceptance of gaming;
the limitation, conditioning or suspension of any of the Company's gaming
licenses; increases in or new taxes imposed on gaming revenues or gaming
devices; changes in gaming laws and regulations; passage of state or local
referendum measures that affect gaming activities in jurisdictions in which
we currently operate or plan to operate; a finding of unsuitability by
regulatory authorities with respect to the Company's officers, directors or
key employees; loss or retirement of key executives; significant increases in
fuel or transportation prices; adverse economic conditions in the company's
key markets; severe and unusual weather in the Company's key markets; adverse
results of significant litigation matters; loss of gaming facilities from
service; failure to complete, complete within budget or successfully
integrate and operate expansion and development projects; and failure to
obtain adequate financing to meet strategic goals. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date thereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release
any revision to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date thereof.
