INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Grant Thornton, Ltd.
Receiver of Gaming Consultants, Inc. and Affiliates
Renton, Washington

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Gaming Consultants, Inc. and Affiliates (the Company) as of December 31, 2009, and the related combined statements of income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gaming Consultants, Inc. and Affiliates as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental information on pages 15-20 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic combined financial statements.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements


NOTE 1 ¾ NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


The combined financial statements include the accounts of Gaming Consultants, Inc. and Affiliates (“the Company”):  Big Nevada, Inc. (doing business as Silver Dollar Casino SeaTac), Little Nevada, Inc. (doing business as Silver Dollar Casino Tukwila and as Silver Dollar Casino Renton), Shoreline Gaming, Inc. (doing business as Golden Nugget Shoreline), Royal Casino Holdings, Inc. (doing business as Royal Casino Everett), Hollydrift Gaming, Inc. (doing business as Drift on Inn Casino and as Club Hollywood Casino), Silver Dollar Mill Creek, Inc. (doing business as Silver Dollar Casino Mill Creek), Golden Nugget Tukwila, Inc. (doing business as Golden Nugget Tukwila), Little Nevada II, Inc., Little Nevada III, Inc., Gaming Management, Inc., Shoreline Holdings, Inc., Snohomish Gaming, Inc., Mill Creek Gaming, Inc., and Gameco, Inc.  Gaming Consultants, Inc. (“GCI”) has a management services agreement with each of the Affiliates, acts as the service administrator for the Company, provides consulting services relating to the casino related activities and assuring compliance with local, state, and federal law.
 
The assets and stock of the combined companies were pledged as security in October 2007 when the Company’s parent, Washington Gaming, Inc. (“WGI”), became party to a loan entered into by WGI’s parent company, Evergreen Gaming Corp. (“Evergreen”).  The loan had a term of six years, with payment due in full by September 30, 2013.  The note to the principal secured creditor (“Lender”) was secured by the assets of Evergreen, WGI, and substantially all of WGI’s subsidiaries.  On March 31, 2009, the Lender made a written demand for immediate payment of the amount that was owed to them by Evergreen.  In response to the demand, on April 15, 2009, Evergreen filed with the Supreme Court of British Columbia for protection from its creditors under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”).  The Lender and Evergreen reached a settlement whereby the assets and operations of the Companies reported on herein were put into receivership in full settlement of the amounts owed to the Creditor by Evergreen.  On July 6, 2009, control over all of the assets of the Company were transferred to the court-appointed Receiver, while ownership of the stock remains with WGI.  The Receiver has operated the Company since July 6, 2009, and has pursued a sale of the assets and operations of the Company in order to satisfy secured and unsecured claims of creditors against the Company.  The operations of the Company were not interrupted by the court proceedings or subsequent receivership.

As the balance of the amounts payable to the Lender exceeds the expected sales proceeds from these Companies and other Evergreen assets, it is expected that unsecured creditors and trade payable balances outstanding as of April 16, 2009, will not receive payments in full satisfaction of the amounts due.  These amounts include $508,325 of unsecured notes payable and $527,000 of trade payables.  The Company continues to recognize the amounts payable on the combined balance sheet until such time as these obligations are relieved.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements


NOTE 1 ¾ NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):


All intercompany transactions between the combined entities have been eliminated in the preparation of the combined financial statements.
 
a.
Nature of operations – The major source of the Company’s revenue is derived from gaming operations, primarily house-banked card rooms and poker.  The Company also derives revenue from the sale of food and beverage sold in casino restaurants.

b.
Cash – The Washington State Gambling Commission requires that cash be on deposit to cover certain jackpots offered to gaming participants, and those monies cannot be used for any other purpose.  Included in cash are amounts restricted for jackpots at December 31, 2009, of $1,118,088.

c.
Inventory – Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.  The majority of inventory consists of food and beverage items.

d.
Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset or the remaining term of the lease whichever is shorter.  Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $730,315.  The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such property may not be recoverable.

e.
Other assets – Other assets as of December 31, 2009, are comprised of three noncompete agreements totaling $300,000, less accumulated amortization of $193,333.  Also included is memorabilia from Club Hollywood Casino valued at $500,000.  In addition, other assets include $428,342 related to licenses for various house bank card games to use in perpetuity.

f.
Goodwill – Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the asset may be impaired.  The first step of the impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value.  If fair value is greater than the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary.  As a result in the decline in profitability of certain of the casinos managed by Gaming Consultants, as well as the closure of the gaming operations at two of the casinos subsequent to December 31, 2009, goodwill was deemed to be impaired as of that date.  Total impairment loss recognized in 2009 was $11,124,421.  Goodwill of $1,419,943 remains on the combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 
NOTE 1 ¾ NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):


g.
Fair value of financial instruments – The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and deposits, approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.  The carrying amount of the notes payable approximates fair value because the interest rate is based on current rates offered for loans and debt with similar terms and maturities.

h.
Washington Players Club Points Program – The Company’s customer rewards program, Washington Players Club, offers incentives to customers who gamble at the Company’s casinos.  Under the program, customers are able to accumulate reward points over time, which customers may redeem at their discretion under the terms of the program.  The reward points will expire if the customer does not redeem their points within one year of being earned or if there is no activity in their account for the prior six months.  A liability is recorded for the amount of outstanding points expected to be redeemed and is included in other accrued expenses.

i.
Casino revenue – Casino revenue is the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses.

j.
Promotional allowances – Promotional allowances represent goods and services, which would be accounted for as revenue if sold, that the Company provided to customers at a discount or at no charge.  The retail amount of promotional allowances are included in gross revenue and offset by deducting it from gross revenue to arrive at net revenue.  The cost of providing promotional allowances is included in operating costs.

k.
Advertising – The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009, were $50,000.

l.
Income taxes – As described previously, control over all of the assets of the Company were transferred to the court-appointed receiver, while ownership of the stock remains with WGI.  As the legal stockholder, WGI is responsible for the filing of the federal tax return as well as any associated tax liability or asset generated as part of the federal tax filing for the Company.  As such, all tax assets and associated liabilities have been written-off as part of the combined statements.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 
NOTE 1 ¾ NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):


l.
Income taxes (continued) –

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods.

Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the combined financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal tax authorities for years before 2006.

m.
Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 ¾ CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:


The Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions in Washington State.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures the accounts at each of these institutions.  The aggregate funds held in one institution may exceed the FDIC insured limit from time to time and specific funds held by the institution may not be covered by FDIC insurance.
 
Management does not anticipate any material effect on the financial position of the Company as a result of these concentrations.  The Company also maintains a significant amount of cash on hand.  The total cash on hand as of December 31, 2009, was $1,128,000.

NOTE 3 ¾ FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:


The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Section 820 Subsection 10, for its goodwill.  Section 820 Subsection 10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  The framework enables a reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop the measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  The standard requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1:  Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:  Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings and the subsequent asset purchase agreement previously mentioned, goodwill was impaired at December 31, 2009.  The valuation resulted in a write off of $11,124,421 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The valuation was performed using the market approach, based on the asset purchase agreement with Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. signed on April 14, 2010, see note 8.

The resulting fair value of goodwill of $1,419,943 at December 31, 2009, is based on the value assigned in the asset purchase agreement related to the actual sale of the casino, and therefore is considered to be a Level 1 item.

A reconciliation of goodwill measured at fair value on a recurring basis using subsequent sale information during the year ended December 31, 2009, is as follows:

Balance, beginning of year
  $ 12,544,364  
Impairment charge
    (11,124,421 )
         
Balance, end of year
  $ 1,419,943

NOTE 4 ¾ LONG-TERM DEBT:


Long-term debt consisted of four unsecured notes payable with balances due at December 31, 2009 of $508,325, which are due for repayment between 2011 and 2015.  Management expects that the resolution of the CCAA and Receivership proceedings will result in unsecured notes being rendered worthless at the time a sale of the businesses is complete.  The Company continues to recognize the amounts payable on the combined balance sheet until such time as these obligations are relieved.

NOTE 5 ¾ RELATED PARTIES:


Gaming Consultants, Inc., acts as the service administrator for the Company, providing consulting services relating to the casino related activities and assuring compliance with local, state, and federal law.  The operating casinos pay Gaming Consultants, Inc. a service fee of 0.5% of gross revenue and a corporate overhead allocation of 2% of monthly gross revenue that is used to compensate for the costs incurred.  Total corporate overhead expense for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $2,782,000.  These expenses were eliminated during preparation of the combined statements.

NOTE 6 ¾ LEASES:


The Company has numerous cancelable operating leases for food and beverage equipment, table games, and related equipment.  Rent expense under these leases for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $1,021,000.  The Company also incurred $3,010,695 of expense for the rental of the facilities in which the Company operates.  The Company does not have any capital leases.

NOTE 7 ¾ COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:


As discussed more fully in note 8, the Company is party to an Asset Purchase Agreement that would result in substantially all of the assets and operations of the Company being acquired by a third-party buyer.

NOTE 8 ¾ SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:


On February 22, 2010, the Golden Nugget Shoreline casino was closed.  The lease for the casino building was terminated by the Receiver in accordance with their duties under the court order.

On April 14, 2010, an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) was signed with Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. (“Nevada Gold”).  The APA contemplates the sale of all of the assets of Gaming Consultants, Inc., Gaming Management, Inc., Gameco, Inc., and seven of the nine casinos, excluding the Golden Nugget Shoreline and the Drift on Inn.  Sale closing is subject to a number of contingencies, particularly Court and regulatory approval.

On April 15, 2010, gaming operations at the Drift on Inn casino were suspended.  The restaurant and its related operations continue to operate.

On May 25, 2010, an agreement was reached to sell the assets of the Drift on Inn to the current owner of the land and building on which that company is located.  The terms of the agreement include provisions that amend the lease of the Club Hollywood Casino building and parking lot in order to ensure timely and efficient assignment of the lease to Nevada Gold as noted in the APA.

On May 28, 2010, a hearing was conducted in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Washington (“the Court”), to consider the APA noted above.  The Court approved the APA, subject to the buyer being able to successfully obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.  Such approvals are expected to be obtained.
