COLONY RIH HOLDINGS, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Colony RIH Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CRH”, the “Company”), owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Resorts International Hotel and Casino, Inc., also a Delaware corporation (“RIHC”). RIHC, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Resorts International Hotel, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“RIH”), owns and operates Resorts Atlantic City, a casino/hotel located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. CRH also owns 100% of the common stock of Resorts Real Estate Holdings, Inc. (“RREH”), a New Jersey corporation formed on April 1, 2003 to acquire certain land subject to an option agreement (“Option Agreement”) between Kerzner International North America, Inc. (“KINA”) and RIHC. Colony RIH Holdings, Inc., Resorts International Hotel and Casino, Inc., Resorts Real Estate Holdings Inc., and Resorts International Hotels, Inc. are referred to collectively as the “Companies”.

 

CRH was formed at the direction of Colony Investors IV, L.P. (“Colony IV”), a Delaware limited partnership, under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 7, 2001. RIHC was formed at the direction of Colony IV on October 24, 2000.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRH and its wholly owned subsidiaries. CRH is a voluntary filer with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accounts of CRH include RIHC, a publicly traded debt registrant, and RREH, a wholly owned subsidiary that includes $40 million of assets and liabilities related to the purchase of property. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included.

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CRH’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

2. OPTION LAND ACQUISITION

 

In conjunction with the purchase of RIH from KINA in April 2001 by CRH and RIHC, CRH obtained an option to purchase approximately 10.0 acres of real property immediately adjacent to the Resorts site and approximately 2.0 acres of real property located in the Atlantic City metropolitan area, pursuant to the Option Agreement for a total purchase price of $40.0 million. Portions of the option property (the “Option Land”) are zoned for casino hotel use and are available for future expansion. A portion of the option property was leased from KINA by RIH for use as a surface parking lot under a lease agreement whose terms ran contemporaneous with the terms of the Option Agreement. On March 18, 2004, RREH acquired the Option Land from KINA in exchange for issuance of a $40 million note by RREH to KINA. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Option Land, the Option Agreement was terminated. With the termination of the Option Agreement the lease agreement between KINA and RIHC converted to a month-to-month fair market value lease, which was amended and assigned by KINA to RREH as part of the option land purchase transaction.

 

3. LONG TERM DEBT

 

On March 22, 2002, RIHC sold $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of First Mortgage Notes (the “First Mortgage Notes”) at a price of 97.686% yielding $175.8 million. Interest on the First Mortgage Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and the First Mortgage Notes are due in full on March 15, 2009.

 

The First Mortgage Notes contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit RIHC’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase its or their capital stock, make investments, incur additional indebtedness, permit payment of or restrict dividends by certain of its subsidiaries, enter into sale leaseback transactions, sell assets, guarantee indebtedness, create certain liens, engage in transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Table of Contents

In January 2004, CRH announced that it had reached agreement with KINA to acquire the Option Land, subject to the approval of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, which approval was received on March 17, 2004. Following the approval, the Option Land was acquired by RREH on March 18, 2004 in exchange for the issuance of a $40 million note by RREH to KINA. This $40 million note will mature immediately following the maturity, acceleration or refinancing (other than permitted refinancing) of the First Mortgage Notes which are due March 22, 2009. No principal payments are required on the $40 million note until it reaches maturity. Interest on the $40 million note is payable semi-annually, and is calculated at the following annual rates: 0% through September 2004, 4% from October 2004 through March 2006, 6% from April 2006 through March 2008, and 9% from April 2008 through March 2009. The note payable to KINA is guaranteed by CRH, RIHC and RIH, provided, however that the guarantee of RIHC and RIH does not become effective until either the First Mortgage Notes have been paid in full or the fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges, all as further defined in the First Mortgage Notes Indenture) of RIHC is at least 2.0 to 1.0. In addition, the amount guaranteed is initially limited to $20 million increasing by $5 million each year.

 

In June 2002, RIH entered into a Thermal Energy Services Agreement (the “Thermal Agreement”). The initial term of the Thermal Agreement is 20 years, renewable at RIH’s option for two additional five-year terms. The Thermal Agreement has three components: a monthly charge for operation and maintenance of the thermal energy facilities; a capital lease component for capital improvements whose value was estimated at $6.5 million on the date the Thermal Agreement was executed, and; a usage fee for steam and chilled water, whose usage and rate will vary by month of the year. The outstanding balance of the capital lease was $6.4 million at June 30, 2004.

 

In June 2002, RIH entered into a Restated Loan and Security Agreement with CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. (“CIT Facility”). The CIT Facility permits RIH to borrow up to $20 million for the purchase of machinery, furniture, or equipment. Loans pursuant to the CIT Facility are repayable in up to a sixty-month amortization period from the date the loan is made. Outstanding loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus three and one-half percent. RIH is required to pay an annual fee equal to one-half percent of the unused portion of the CIT Facility. The outstanding balance due to CIT at June 30, 2004 was $14.0 million.

 

In November 2002, RIH entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Commerce Bank, N.A (“Commerce Facility”). The Commerce Facility provides for working capital borrowings and letters of credit up to $10 million. The Commerce Facility expires on June 30, 2005. There was no outstanding balance on the Commerce Facility at June 30, 2004.

 

4. REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

 

The proceeds from the sale of 1,915 shares of Class A Common Stock and 38,750 shares of Class B Common Stock have been classified separately from shareholders’ equity as “Redeemable Common Stock” in the balance sheet to reflect the rights granted to a shareholder to require CRH to repurchase his shares under certain circumstances.

 

5. INCOME TAXES

 

The benefit for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is different than the amount computed at the United States statutory rate due to certain non-deductible items and state income taxes, which are calculated under an alternative minimum assessment of a percentage of gross revenues.

 

Effective July 2003, the State of New Jersey passed a state budget which requires each casino licensee to pay an annual tax equal to 7.5% of net income (as defined) subject to a minimum tax of $350,000. This tax is in effect for three years beginning with the fiscal year of July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004. In connection with this tax, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Business Tax Reform Act which, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction of a new alternative minimum amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Tax Act was retroactive to January 1, 2002. In accordance with the Tax Act, the Company recorded provisions for current state income tax of $437,000 and $444,000, net of federal benefit, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

6. PRE-OPENING EXPENSES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Colony RIH Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CRH”, the “Company”), owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Resorts International Hotel and Casino, Inc., also a Delaware corporation (“RIHC”). RIHC, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Resorts International Hotel, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“RIH”), owns and operates Resorts Atlantic City, a casino/hotel located in Atlantic City, NJ. Colony RIH Holdings, Inc., Resorts International Hotel and Casino, Inc., and Resorts International Hotels, Inc. are referred to collectively as “The Companies”.

 

CRH was formed at the direction of Colony Investors IV, L.P. (“Colony IV”), a Delaware limited partnership, under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 7, 2001. RIHC was formed at the direction of Colony IV on October 24, 2000.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RIHC and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included.

 

For the further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in RIHC’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

2. LONG TERM DEBT

 

On March 22, 2002, RIHC sold $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of First Mortgage Notes (the “First Mortgage Notes”) at a price of 97.686% yielding $175.8 million. Interest on the First Mortgage Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and the First Mortgage Notes are due in full on March 15, 2009.

 

The First Mortgage Notes contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit RIHC’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase its or their capital stock, make investments, incur additional indebtedness, permit payment of or restrict dividends by certain of its subsidiaries, enter into sale leaseback transactions, sell assets, guarantee indebtedness, create certain liens, engage in transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all its assets and the assets of it’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

 

In June 2002, RIH entered into a Thermal Energy Services Agreement (the “Thermal Agreement”). The initial term of the Thermal Agreement is 20 years, renewable at RIH’s option for two additional five-year terms. The Thermal Agreement has three components: a monthly charge for operation and maintenance of the thermal energy facilities; a capital lease component for capital improvements whose value was estimated at $6.5 million on the date the Thermal Agreement was executed, and; a usage fee for steam and chilled water, whose usage and rate will vary by month of the year. The outstanding balance of the capital lease was $6.4 million at June 30, 2004.

 

In June 2002, RIH entered into a Restated Loan and Security Agreement with CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. (“CIT Facility”). The CIT Facility permits RIH to borrow up to $20 million for the purchase of machinery, furniture, or equipment. Loans pursuant to the CIT Facility are repayable in up to a sixty-month amortization period from the date the loan is made. Outstanding loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus three and one-half percent. RIH is required to pay an annual fee equal to one-half percent of the unused portion of the CIT Facility. The outstanding balance due to CIT at June 30, 2004 was $14.0 million.

In November 2002, RIH entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Commerce Bank, N.A (“Commerce Facility”). The Commerce Facility provides for working capital borrowings and letters of credit up to $10 million. The Commerce Facility expires on June 30, 2005. There was no outstanding balance on the Commerce Facility at June 30, 2004.

 

In January 2004, CRH announced that it had reached agreement with KINA to acquire the Option Land, subject to the approval of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, which approval was received on March 17, 2004. Following the approval, the Option Land was acquired by RREH on March 18, 2004 in exchange for the issuance of a $40 million note by RREH to KINA. The note payable to KINA is guaranteed by CRH, RIHC and RIH, provided, however that the guarantee of RIHC and RIH does not become effective until either the First Mortgage Notes have been paid in full or the fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges, all as further defined in the First Mortgage Notes Indenture) of RIHC is at least 2.0 to 1.0. In addition, the amount guaranteed is initially limited to $20 million increasing by $5 million each year.

 

3. INCOME TAXES

 

The benefit for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is different than the amount computed at the United States statutory rate due to certain non-deductible items and state income taxes, which are calculated under an alternative minimum assessment of a percentage of gross revenues.

 

Effective July 2003, the State of New Jersey passed a state budget which requires each casino licensee to pay an annual tax equal to 7.5% of net income (as defined) subject to a minimum tax of $350,000. This tax is in effect for three years beginning with the fiscal year of July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004. In connection with this tax, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Business Tax Reform Act which, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction of a new alternative minimum amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. The Tax Act was retroactive to January 1, 2002. In accordance with the Tax Act, the Company recorded provisions for current state income tax of $437,000 and $444,000, net of federal benefit, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

4. PRE-OPENING EXPENSES

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of pre-opening expenses, primarily advertising and related costs, to promote the opening of the expanded casino and hotel facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that offset the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The following discussion and analysis as well as the associated tables are based on the financial statements of RIHC. The financial statements of CRH and RIHC are materially similar with certain differences related to the following:

 

  (i) the financial statements of CRH include the financial statements of RREH, which acquired the Option Land on March 18, 2004 and issued a $40 million note to KINA in payment thereof; and

 

  (ii) the financial statements of CRH classify certain equity instruments separately from shareholders’ equity as redeemable common stock in the balance sheet to reflect the rights granted to a shareholder to require CRH to repurchase his shares under certain circumstances.

 

A reconciliation of selected financial information between RIHC and CRH is as follows:

Executive Overview

 

CRH was formed at the direction of Colony Investors IV, L.P. (“Colony IV”), an affiliate of Colony Capital, LLC (“Colony Capital”) of Los Angeles, California, on March 7, 2001. CRH is owned by Colony IV, Colony RIH Voteco, LLC (“Voteco”), another affiliate of Colony Capital, and Nicholas L. Ribis, a Director and executive officer of CRH, RIHC and RREH. RIHC and RREH are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CRH and were formed at the direction of Colony IV on October 24, 2000 and April 1, 2003, respectively. RIH is RIHC’s wholly-owned subsidiary. RIH owns and operates Resorts Atlantic City, a casino hotel in Atlantic City.

 

On September 4, 2002, RIHC decommissioned the 166-room Atlantic City Tower in anticipation of beginning construction in November 2002 of a 27-story hotel tower on the same site. The expansion was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2004. The expansion added approximately 400 hotel rooms and suites, 25,000 square feet of additional gaming space, 840 slot machines and 11 table games as compared to June 30, 2003 levels. In addition, the expansion included the relocation and expansion of the hotel lobby and porte cochere. RIHC opened the expanded gaming space on May 28, 2004, and began opening rooms to the public on June 16, 2004. The grand opening ceremony for the new tower was held over the July 4th weekend. The expansion is anticipated to cost approximately $118.1 million. Management anticipates that the opening of the hotel expansion will have a positive impact on operating results in the coming year and is focusing current efforts on positioning RIHC to capitalize on that impact.

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

RIHC generates the majority of its net revenues from gaming operations, therefore many of the key performance indicators that management uses to manage its business are related to the casino. The key indicators related to gaming revenue are as follows:

 

  Table games drop (the dollar amount of chips purchased) and slot handle (the dollar amounts wagered in slot machines), which are indicators of volume;

 

  The hold percentage (the percentage of win to drop or handle); Resorts typical table games hold percentage is in the 15% range and its typical slot hold percentage is in the 8% range.

 

Key performance indicators related to non-gaming revenues include hotel occupancy, an indicator of volume in the hotel, and restaurant covers (number of meals served), also a volume indicator.

 

RIHC also considers “EBITDA” to be a key indicator of its performance. EBITDA is income from operations before deducting depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in the gaming industry, and uses it as the primary measurement in evaluating management’s operating performance. EBITDA should not be considered as an

alternative to operating income (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP”) as an indicator of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity, or to other consolidated income or cash flow statement data, as are determined in accordance with GAAP. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. The following table reflects a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income as determined in accordance with GAAP for the periods indicated:

Table of Contents

Three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

 

The decrease in slot revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was due to an $18 million (3%) decrease in slot handle to $584.5 million from $602.5 million for the same period of 2003. The decrease in slot handle resulted from the impact of the opening of the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in July 2003 as well as a decline in traffic throughout the property due to disruption during the construction of the expansion project. Slot business began to increase with the addition of 840 slot machines during the Memorial Day weekend and the opening of new hotel rooms over the final two weeks of June.

 

The increase in table games revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was due to a table games hold increase to 16.4% from 15.2% in same period of 2003, partially offset by a $5 million (5%) decrease in table drop to $94 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $99 million in 2003.

 

The increase in lodging revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 resulted from an increase in the rate recorded for complimentary rooms. Hotel occupancy for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased to 92.6% from 97.2% in the same period of 2003.

 

The increase in entertainment, retail, and other revenue in 2004 was due to the opening of “The Screening Room”, and “The Improv”, two entertainment venues that contributed to the 108% increase in entertainment revenue.

 

Promotional allowances are expenses incurred by Resorts for complimentary services (goods and services provided free of charge to gaming patrons) and cash incentives given to gaming patrons. The increase in cash promotions given to patrons accounted for a $2 million (21%) increase resulting from efforts to increase traffic through the property in anticipation of the hotel tower opening.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

 

The decrease in slot revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to a $48 million (4%) decrease in slot handle to $1,088 million from $1,136 million for the same period of 2003, while the net slot hold for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased to 7.9% from the 2003 net slot hold of 7.7%. The decrease in slot handle resulted from the impact of the opening of the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in July 2003 as well as a decline in traffic throughout the property due to disruption during the construction of the expansion project.

 

The increase in table games revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to a table games hold increase in 2004 to 16.8% from 15.8% for the same period of 2003 offset by a $7 million (4%) decrease in table drop to $185 million from $192 million in 2003.

 

The increase in lodging revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 resulted from an increase in the rate recorded for complimentary rooms. Hotel occupancy for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased to 90.5% from 96.1% for the same period of 2003.

 

The increase in entertainment, retail, and other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to the opening of “The Screening Room”, and “The Improv”, two entertainment venues that contributed to the 79% increase in entertainment revenue.

 

The increase in cash promotions given to patrons, which accounted for the majority of the increase in promotional allowances, was approximately $3 million (15%) resulting from efforts to increase traffic through the property in anticipation of the hotel tower opening.

The on-going Hotel Expansion Project has continued to effect volumes throughout the property during 2004. As a result, revenues and expenses have remained level with 2003 figures. The increase in selling, general, and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was due to increased real estate taxes due to the purchase of the Option Land as well as increased taxes imposed by New Jersey on complimentary rooms, food, beverage and admissions which was effective July 1, 2003. Management continuously monitored and adjusted staffing levels in response to the declines in business in order to offset the reductions in revenues, however this was offset by the additional labor required for the opening of the casino and hotel expansion. Pre-opening expenses include certain costs, primarily advertising and related costs, to promote the opening of the expanded casino and hotel facility.

 

The increases in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2004 were due to increases in depreciable assets mainly resulting from an increase in slot machines and related equipment.

The reductions in interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are related to the decrease in Resorts’ restricted cash balance as the Hotel Expansion Project progressed. Resorts received an influx of cash with the sale of the First Mortgage Notes on March 22, 2002. From the proceeds of the sale of the First Mortgage Notes, $89.4 million was deposited in a construction disbursement account for use in construction of the hotel tower. Draws on the construction disbursement account have decreased the restricted cash balance to $17.3 million as of June 30, 2004 from $77.2 million at June 30, 2003. In addition, $10.0 million of the restricted cash was deposited in a liquidity disbursement account to be used for working capital in the event RIHC’s Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the First Mortgage Notes Indenture, for any four fiscal quarters ending on or prior to December 31, 2004, is less than $28 million. RIHC’s Consolidated EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2004 was $27.7 million. As a result, $0.3 million will be released from the liquidity disbursement account pursuant to the Indenture to RIHC to be used for general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents

The decreases in net interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are due to $1.4 million and $2.9 million increases in capitalized interest, respectively. Total interest costs for 2004 are in line with 2003 levels. The Company ceased capitalization of interest during the second quarter of 2004, as the Hotel Expansion Project was ready for its intended use.

On June 30, 2003, the State of New Jersey amended the Casino Control Act, effective July 1, 2003, to impose or increase certain taxes and fees, including a tax at the rate of 7.5% on the adjusted net income of casino licensees in calendar year 2002, payable in the state’s fiscal years 2004 through 2006. The amount of this tax for each licensee is limited to a maximum of $10.0 million annually and a minimum of $350,000 annually. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a provision of $175,000 for this tax.

 

On July 3, 2002, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Business Tax Reform Act which, among other things, requires the suspension of the use of the New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards for two years and the introduction of a new alternative minimum amount under the New Jersey corporate business tax based on gross receipts or gross profits, as defined. This tax was retroactive to January 1, 2002.

Cash flows from Operating Activities

 

The improvement in cash flow from operations over last year resulted primarily from favorable working capital changes, including a $4.3 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, compared to a $0.3 million decrease in those items in 2003.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, RIHC expended $53.9 million for the purchase of property and equipment, which includes $42.6 million for the construction of the new hotel tower, $4.1 million of capitalized interest related to the construction of the new hotel tower, and $7.2 million for other expenditures, such as the purchase of new slot machines and related equipment, computer upgrades, and other facility improvements.

 

At June 30, 2004, RIHC had a restricted cash balance of $17.3 million, which is included in other assets on RIHC’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The restricted cash balance consists of the unexpended portion of the proceeds of RIHC’s First Mortgage Notes which are to be used to finance the cost to develop, construct, and equip the new hotel tower. In addition, $10.0 million of the restricted cash balance has been deposited in a liquidity disbursement account to be used for working capital in the event RIHC’s EBITDA, as defined in the First Mortgage Notes Indenture, for any four fiscal quarters ending on or prior to December 31, 2004, is less than $28 million. At the end of the measurement period referred to in the previous sentence, RIHC will be permitted to secure a release of any unutilized amount in the liquidity disbursement account for use in its business or to fund a dividend to CRH to return such unutilized amount to CRH’s stockholders. RIHC’s Consolidated EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2004 was $27.7 million. As a result, $0.3 million will be released from the liquidity disbursement account pursuant to the Indenture to RIHC to be used for general corporate purposes.

 

The CRDA will reimburse certain costs associated with the hotel tower construction, totaling approximately $13.1 million through 2008. Approximately $9.2 million of these reimbursements were received by RIHC in 2003 and $0.4 million of these reimbursements has been received by RIHC during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, RIHC completed a like-kind exchange of its warehouse for a new warehouse facility. The transaction included the receipt of approximately $1.2 million from the sale of the old warehouse, the proceeds of which were combined with a $600,000 note (the “Warehouse Note”) to purchase the new facility. The Warehouse Note has an interest rate of 6% with fixed payments of principal and interest due in December 2004, February 2005, and February 2006.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Cash received from financing activities are mainly borrowings against the CIT Facility for furniture, fixtures, and equipment related to the new tower as well as the issuance of the Warehouse Note. Cash used in financing activities represents principal payments required on outstanding long term debt, as well as costs incurred to acquire and/or amend new debt.

 

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

 

In June 2002, RIH entered into a $20 million credit facility, the proceeds of which are to be used for the acquisition of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. RIHC has guaranteed the obligations of RIH under this equipment credit facility. RIH intends to use $15 million of the equipment credit facility to purchase furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the new hotel tower and the expanded gaming facility, of which $13.8 million was drawn during the second quarter of 2004. The outstanding balance due to CIT at June 30, 2004 was $14.0 million. In November 2002, RIH also entered into a $10 million revolving credit facility, against which standby letters of credit in the amount of $2.4 million have been issued, leaving an availability of $7.6 million as of June 30, 2004.

 

In June 2002, RIH entered into a Thermal Energy Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an energy supplier. The initial term of the Agreement is 20 years, renewable at RIH’s option for two additional five year terms. The Agreement has three components: a monthly charge for operation and maintenance of the thermal energy facilities; a capital lease component for capital improvements whose value is estimated at $6.5 million, for which payments during the six month period ending June 30, 2004 were $0.2 million including interest, with the total payments over the 20 year initial term estimated at $9.6 million including interest, and; a usage fee for steam and chilled water, whose usage and rate will vary by month of the year.

In January 2004, CRH announced that it had reached agreement with KINA to acquire the Option Land, subject to the approval of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, which approval was received on March 17, 2004. Following the approval, the Option Land was acquired by RREH on March 18, 2004 in exchange for the issuance of a $40 million note by RREH to KINA. No principal payments are required on the $40 million note until it reaches maturity. The note payable to KINA is guaranteed by CRH, RIHC and RIH, provided, however that the guarantee of RIHC and RIH does not become effective until either the First Mortgage Notes have been paid in full or the fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of Consolidate EBITDA to Fixed Charges, all as further defined in the First Mortgage Notes Indenture) of RIHC is at least 2.0 to 1.0. In addition, the amount guaranteed is initially limited to $20 million increasing by $5 million each year.

 

In conjunction with the option land purchase transaction, the Option Agreement between RIHC and KINA was terminated. With the termination of the Option Agreement, the lease agreement between KINA and RIH converts to a month-to-month fair market value lease. As part of the option land purchase transaction, the lease was amended to be a triple-net lease and was assigned by KINA to RREH. The amended agreement calls for the following payments: a $1.3 million security deposit paid upon closing, offset against lease payments of $205,000 per month through September 2004; $135,833 per month from October 2004 through March 2006; $202,500 per month from April 2006 through March 2008; $302,500 per month from April 2008 through March 2009; and $402,500 per month thereafter. The lease agreement may be terminated by either party upon 30 days notice, with the remaining security deposit refunded to RIH upon termination.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

RIHC does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on RIHC’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company has exposure to interest rate risk from its short-term and long-term debt. In general, the majority of the Company’s long-term debt bears a fixed interest rate. The Company believes that the market risk from changes in interest rates would not be material to the fair value of these financial instruments, or the related cash flows, or future results of operations of the Company.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Within the 90 day period prior to the filing of this report, the Companies’ management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companies’ disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in the periodic reports to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date of this evaluation.
