        In March 1999, the Company issued $175.0 million principal amount of 9.5% senior subordinated notes with interest payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year through their maturity in March 2009. On February 2, 2001, the Company issued an additional $50.0 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes. The net proceeds of approximately $49.1 million were used to reduce borrowings under its senior secured credit facility. On March 19, 2002 the Company issued an additional $100.0 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes. The notes were issued at a $5.0 million premium to par value and the net proceeds of approximately $103.2 million were used to reduce borrowings under the senior secured credit facility. The notes issued in 2001 and 2002 were issued under the same indenture and have the same terms, interest rate and maturity date as the $175.0 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes issued in 1999.

        In February 2003, the Company borrowed $18.0 million under a secured loan agreement, collateralized by a Company-owned aircraft. The proceeds were used to reduce borrowings under the then existing credit facility. The loan bears interest at a premium of 2.25% over the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is adjusted monthly. As of September 30, 2003, the interest rate was 3.36%, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the weighted average interest rate was 3.48%. Payments of interest only are required during the first twelve months. Commencing on March 28, 2004, the Company will be required to make monthly principal payments of $120,000 plus interest on the unpaid balance. A balloon payment of the remaining principal balance is due in February 2009.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 — LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

        In September 2003, the Company replaced its senior secured revolving credit facility due September 2004 with a $300.0 million senior secured credit facility due September 2008, comprised of a $225.0 million revolving credit facility and a $75.0 million term loan. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may increase the commitments under the senior secured credit facility by up to $50.0 million. Coast Casinos is a full and unconditional guarantor of the indebtedness under the senior secured credit facility and of the senior subordinated notes. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest, selected at the Company’s option, at a premium over a base rate or the one-, two-, three- or six-month Eurodollar Rate (“Eurodollar”). The premium varies depending on a certain financial ratio and can vary, if determined by reference to the base rate, between 0.5% and 1.25% and, if determined by reference to Eurodollar, between 1.75% and 2.5%. As of September 30, 2003, using the one-month Eurodollar option, the premium over Eurodollar was 2.25% and the interest rate was 3.37%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the weighted average interest rate for the senior secured credit facility (including the indebtedness replaced thereby) was 3.44%. The Company incurs a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, on the unused portion of the senior secured credit facility. This fee varies depending on a certain financial ratio and can vary between 0.375% and 0.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2003, the fee was 0.5% per annum times the average unused portion of the facility.

        In accordance with the terms of the senior secured credit facility, commencing on December 31, 2005 and each quarter thereafter, the Company is required to repay the $75.0 million term loan in an amount equal to 8.3333% of the principal amount of the term loan then outstanding. Advances under the senior secured credit facility may be used for working capital, general corporate purposes, and certain improvements to existing properties. As of September 30, 2003, all of the $75.0 million term loan was outstanding and $63.0 million was drawn on the $225.0 million revolving line of credit with $161.3 million of availability remaining (net of letters of credit of approximately $700,000).

        The credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to pay dividends or make advances to Coast Casinos, to make certain capital expenditures, to repay certain existing indebtedness, to incur additional indebtedness or to sell material assets of the Company. Additionally, the credit agreement requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios with respect to its leverage and fixed charge coverage. The Company is also subject to certain covenants associated with the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes, including, in part, limitations on certain restricted payments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and asset sales. Management believes that, at September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and required ratios.
