Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2011
 
Note 1.  Organization, Background and Bankruptcy Considerations

Organization
 
Greektown Holdings, L.L.C. (“Greektown Holdings”) was formed in September 2005 as a limited liability company owned by Kewadin Greektown Casino, L.L.C. (“Kewadin Greektown”), which was 100% owned by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians (the “Tribe”) and Monroe Partners, L.L.C. (“Monroe”). Greektown Holdings owns Greektown Casino, L.L.C. (“Greektown LLC”), which is engaged in the operation of a hotel and casino gaming facility known as Greektown Casino Hotel (“Greektown Casino”) located in downtown Detroit that opened November 10, 2000 under a license granted by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (“MGCB”) and a Development Agreement with the City of Detroit.
 
On May 29, 2008, Greektown Holdings, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries and certain affiliates, filed voluntary petitions to reorganize their businesses under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.  As contemplated by a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) approved by the Bankruptcy Court, Greektown Superholdings, Inc. (“Greektown Superholdings,” and together with its subsidiaries “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” or “Greektown,” unless the context otherwise required) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 17, 2010. As of the Effective Date as defined below, each of Greektown Superholdings and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greektown Newco Sub, Inc. (the “Greektown Sub”), hold 50% of the outstanding membership interests of Greektown Holdings. Greektown Superholdings is a holding company that has no other operating assets.  Through its direct and indirect ownership of Greektown Holdings, Greektown Superholdings owns and operates Greektown Casino.  Greektown LLC also holds all the ownership interest in Contract Builders Corporation (“Contract Builders”) and Realty Equity Company, Inc. (“Realty Equity”), each of which owns real estate near Greektown Casino.  The assets of Trappers GC Partners, LLC (“Trappers”) were transferred to Greektown Casino and Trappers has been dissolved pursuant to the Plan.  Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the following discussion describes the business and operations of Greektown Superholdings after the Effective Date.  Greektown Superholdings’ corporate headquarters are located at 555 East Lafayette, Detroit, Michigan 48226.

Background & Bankruptcy Considerations
 
The following discussion provides a summary of the events leading to consummation of the Plan, which was proposed by the Put Parties (as defined below) and certain other parties in the Chapter 11 cases involving Greektown Holdings.
 
On May 29, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), Greektown Holdings, its direct and indirect subsidiaries and certain affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors” or “Predecessor”) filed voluntary petitions to reorganize their businesses under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the “Bankruptcy Court”). These cases were consolidated under the caption, “In re Greektown Holdings, L.L.C., et al. Case No. 08-53104.” On August 26, 2009, the Debtors filed the Second Amended Joint Plans of Reorganization (the “Debtor Plan”) and the Second Amended Disclosure Statement for Joint Plans of Reorganization (the “Debtor Disclosure Statement”). On September 3, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtor Disclosure Statement.
 
On November 2, 2009, certain holders of the 10-3/4% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Old Senior Notes”) issued by Greektown Holdings and Greektown Holdings II, Inc. and certain other parties (the “Put Parties”) entered into a Purchase and Put Agreement, dated November 2, 2009 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Purchase and Put Agreement, dated January 11, 2010, the “Purchase and Put Agreement”).
 
The Plan was conditioned, among other things, on the receipt of all required authorizations, consents and regulatory approvals, including those from the City of Detroit and the MGCB, obtaining the Revolving Loan, as defined below, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent in the documents governing the Exit Financing, as defined below, and the actions, documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan being satisfactory in form and substance to the Put Parties prior to June 30, 2010.  The Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on June 30, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), upon satisfaction of such conditions.
 
The Plan, which was substantially consistent with the terms set forth in the Purchase and Put Agreement, generally provided for the full payment or reinstatement of allowed administrative claims, priority claims, post-petition secured claims, and pre-petition secured claims, the satisfaction of general unsecured claims through the distribution of cash and litigation trust interests and the cancellation of the existing equity interests in Greektown Holdings. The deadline to file administrative claims, professional claims and substantial contribution claims occurred on August 14, 2010.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2011
 
 
As provided in the Plan and confirmation order, such claims may not be subject to resolution under the Plan. The Plan also provided that the holders of Old Senior Notes receive all of the shares of our Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan and the rights issued in the Rights Offering (as defined below) plus interests in litigation trust (the “Litigation Trust”). The Litigation Trust, which has been established pursuant to the Plan, has authority and standing to, among other things, (i) monitor distributions to general unsecured creditors under the Plan and (ii) perform the general unsecured creditors’ claims reconciliation process.  On the Effective Date, rights to certain claims or causes of action of the Debtors were placed into the Litigation Trust.  On the Effective Date, Greektown LLC loaned $375,000 on a non-recourse basis to the Litigation Trust to fund the fees, expenses, and costs of the Litigation Trust (the “Litigation Trust Loan”), which is evidenced by a note payable by the Litigation Trust to Greektown LLC. A trustee was appointed for the Litigation Trust who will, among other things, hold the assets of the trust for the benefit of the holders of general unsecured claims and such other beneficiaries as described in the Plan, prosecute or resolve certain unsettled litigation claims and make distributions of consideration received by the Litigation Trust as a result of any judgment, settlement, or compromise of any such claims.
 
The terms of the Litigation Trust require that the Company fund $10.0 million to a segregated account, payable in four equal quarterly installments of $2.5 million commencing on September 30, 2010. The Company has funded a total of $7.5 million of this amount as of March 31, 2011 (see Note 2).
 
Pursuant to the Plan, the sale of 1,850,000 shares of Preferred Stock in a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), together with the direct purchase of 150,000 shares of Preferred Stock by certain of the Put Parties, all at a purchase price of $100 per share, provided approximately $196 million in net proceeds. Such net amount reflects the determination of the Put Parties to receive $4 million of the Cash Put Premium from Greektown Superholdings in cash and 66,666 shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of the remaining $6 million of the Cash Put Premium. All of the purchases of Preferred Stock were completed on the Effective Date and the shares of Preferred Stock were issued on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Each party who agreed to purchase Preferred Stock was given the option to purchase Preferred Stock with regular or reduced voting rights. However, certain parties that elected to purchase Preferred Stock and were concerned that they might acquire more than 4.9% of the capital stock of Greektown Superholdings, or certain parties that qualified as “Institutional Investors” under Michigan gaming law that were concerned that they may acquire more than 14.9% of the capital stock of Greektown Superholdings, elected to receive Warrants to purchase Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share representing a portion of the Preferred Stock that they had elected to purchase. As a result, the holders of Old Senior Notes and the Put Parties own all of the outstanding equity interests of Greektown Superholdings as of the Effective Date. In addition, under the Plan, at the end of the day on the Effective Date, Greektown Holdings’ existing members’ capital deficit was extinguished and no distributions were made to existing members.  Certain of the Put Parties assigned their Put Commitment and certain of their other rights and obligations under the Purchase and Put Agreement to other Put Parties pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of March 31, 2010.
 
The Plan was confirmed on January 22, 2010. On the Effective Date, Greektown Superholdings issued $385 million in 13% Senior Secured Notes (the “New Senior Secured Notes”) and entered into a $30 million revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank, $20 million of which is currently available for borrowings (the “Revolving Loan” and, together with the New Senior Secured Notes, the “Exit Financing”).  On the Effective Date, the proceeds of the Rights Offering, the proceeds of the direct purchase of Preferred Stock, and the proceeds from the sale of the New Senior Secured Notes were used to pay all outstanding borrowings under our DIP financing facility (the “DIP Facility”), to repay the pre-petition secured claims, and to make other payments required upon exit from bankruptcy. The proceeds from the sale of the New Senior Secured Notes remaining after the foregoing payments were made, as well as the Revolving Loan, were used to provide ongoing liquidity to conduct our operations.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Presentation and Basis of Accounting
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position of Greektown Superholdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of Greektown Holdings (the “Predecessor”) are presented for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, they do contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included therein. The interim results reflected in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances for receivables, tax obligations and certain other accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Casino Revenues
 
Greektown Casino recognizes as casino revenues the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Revenues from food and beverage and hotel operations are recognized at the time of sale or upon the provision of service.
 
Promotional Allowances
 
The retail value of food, beverage, and other complimentary items furnished to customers without charge is included in revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated costs of providing such promotional allowances are included in casino expenses as follows (in thousands):

Restricted Cash
 
As of March 31, 2011, restricted cash consisted of $7.5 million. The cash was funded by the Company into a segregated bank account in accordance with the terms of the Litigation Trust. The terms of the Litigation Trust require the Company to fund $10.0 million in four equal quarterly installments of $2.5 million commencing on September 30, 2010. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset, as the restricted cash will be used to settle the unsecured distribution liability in 2011.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
In accordance with accounting guidance related to goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, we test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually in the fourth quarter of each year, as of October 1 of each year, and in certain situations between those annual dates if interim indicators of impairment arise.
 
Goodwill is tested for impairment using a discounted cash flow model based on the estimated future results of the Company, discounted using the market participant based weighted-average cost of capital and market indicators of terminal year capitalization rates. The Company then compares the carrying value of its reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.
 
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually, as of October 1 of each year, by comparing the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the carrying values using the Greenfield discounted cash flow method and factors such as recent comparable licensing transaction in the market, profit split analysis, advertising expense as a percentage of net revenue, market position, and certain qualitative factors. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over their useful lives, which is the period over which an asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Management periodically assesses the amortization period of intangible assets with definite lives based upon estimated future cash flows from related operations.Inherent in the reviews of the fair values of goodwill and intangible assets are various estimates. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. If our ongoing estimates of future cash flows are not met, we may have to record impairment charges in future accounting periods. Our estimates of cash flows are based on the current regulatory, political and economic climates, recent operating information and budgets of the various properties where we conduct operations. These estimates could be negatively impacted by changes in federal, state or local regulations, economic downturns, or other events affecting various forms of travel and access to our properties.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. As of March 31, 2011, the fair value of the senior secured notes was approximately $433.6 million, as determined by the Company using available market information. In addition, the capital lease obligation approximates its carrying value, as determined by the Company using available market information.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, and is expensed ratably over the service period of the award. Total compensation costs recognized under all share-based arrangements for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.1 million. The Company’s predecessor did not record a stock-based compensation expense for the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010 as there was no stock-based compensation plan in place at that time.
 
Earnings per Share

Basic loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (see Note 10).

Income and Other Taxes
 
 The Company is in a full valuation allowance and has not recorded a benefit on its losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Company records income taxes for the Michigan Business Tax (“MBT”), which is considered an income tax under the provisions of the Income Taxes topic of the FASB ASC. The MBT has a gross receipts tax component and an income tax component as of March 31, 2011. New legislation is being proposed which would revise the MBT, which, if enacted, could have a material impact on the Company’s deferred tax balance.
 
The Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $20.9 million as of March 31, 2011 and has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $17.0 million related to the deferred tax asset, as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize the benefits of the deferred tax asset. The Company had a deferred tax liability of approximately $12.7 million as of March 31, 2011. These amounts are presented as a net long-term deferred tax liability of approximately $8.9 million. The Company recorded an estimated liability for 2011 MBT of approximately $0.5 million in taxes payable and an estimated income tax contingency of $8.9 million related to certain potential taxes that could be assessed in connection with the enactment of the Plan in other accrued income taxes. In addition, in connection with the emergence transaction, the Company has uncertainties regarding state tax attributes that could have a material impact on deferred taxes recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that such uncertainties could be resolved within the next twelve months.
 
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of the Property, Plant, and Equipment topic of the FASB ASC. The Property, Plant, and Equipment topic of the FASB ASC requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of the assets will not be recoverable.
 
Reclassification
 
Certain items in the 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.
 
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
 
The FASB issued ASU No. 2010-16, Entertainment-Casinos (Topic 924): Accruals for Casino Jackpot Liabilities. The guidance clarifies that an entity should not accrue jackpot liabilities (or portions thereof) before a jackpot is won if the entity can avoid paying that jackpot. Jackpots should be accrued and charged to revenue when an entity has the obligation to pay the jackpot. This guidance applies to both base jackpots and the incremental portion of progressive jackpots. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently considering the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.   Emergence from Chapter 11
 
Plan of Reorganization

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, a series of restructuring transactions were consummated through which the Company emerged from bankruptcy and certain holders of the Old Senior Notes of the Predecessor acquired the equity ownership of the Company through (a) the issuance of shares of its Common and Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of its Preferred Stock and (b) the assumption of certain liabilities of the Predecessor included after the Petition Date to the extent not paid on or prior to the Effective Date.
 
The Plan also provided for, among other things:

 
the cancellation of the Old Senior Notes in the amount of $185.0 million;

 
the cancellation of pre-petition accounts payable in the amount of  $14.2 million;

 
the cancellation of approximately $65.0 million of other indebtedness pertaining to pre-petition obligations;

 
payment in full of the DIP Facility in the amount of $193.4 million and related interest;

 
payment in full of the pre-petition secured debt that was in default  in the amount of $367.3 million;

 
reinstatement, payment in full, or satisfaction in full by return of collateral of all other Allowed Claims (as defined in the Plan); and

 
the entry into of certain Exit Financing arrangements, which consisted of (i) the New Senior Secured Notes and (ii) the Revolving Loan.

Fresh Start Consolidated Balance Sheet

In accordance with the Reorganizations topic of the FASB ASC, the Company adopted fresh-start reporting upon the Effective Date.  The Company was required to apply the provisions of fresh-start reporting to its financial statements because the reorganization value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, and the holders of the existing voting shares of the Predecessor’s common stock immediately before confirmation received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity.  Under the accounting guidance, fresh-start reporting is required on the date on which the plan of reorganization is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, but further provides that fresh-start reporting should not be applied until all material conditions to the Plan are satisfied.  All material conditions to the Plan were satisfied on the Effective Date.

Note 3.   Emergence from Chapter 11 (continued)
 
Fresh-start reporting generally requires resetting the historical net book value of assets and liabilities to fair value by allocating the entity’s enterprise value as set forth in the plan of reorganization to its assets and liabilities pursuant to accounting guidance related to business combinations as of the Effective Date.  As set forth in the Disclosure Statement, the Company’s enterprise value was estimated to be in the range of $626.7 million to $696.2 million, with a mid-point estimate of $662.7 million, based on financial projections.  The Company’s enterprise value was estimated using various valuation methods, including (i) a calculation of the present value of projected free cash flows and a terminal value, using a range of discount rates (the “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis”); (ii) a comparison of the financial data of the reorganized Debtors with comparable publicly traded gaming companies (the “Comparable Companies Analysis”); and (iii) an analysis of comparable valuations indicated by precedent merger and acquisition transactions in the gaming industry (the “Precedent Transactions Analysis”).

The enterprise value using the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis was determined using the Predecessor’s financial projections for the periods through 2013.  The four year compounded annual growth rate used in the projections was 2.7%.  These financial projections were provided in the Disclosure Statement and included anticipated changes associated with the Company’s reorganization plans, general market conditions, as well as other pertinent economic factors.   The discount rate applied was in the range of 9% to 10%, which was calculated using a weighted average cost of capital analysis based on comparable statistics of the Company’s peer group.  The present value of all cash flows after 2013 were calculated using terminal values, which were calculated by applying exit multiples ranging from 7.0x to 8.0x the 2013 financial projections, which was then discounted in the range of 9% to 10%.  Exit multiples ranging from 7.0x to 8.0x were based upon comparable EBITDA multiples of the Company’s peer group.

Based upon an evaluation of relevant factors used in determining the range of enterprise value, including an assessment of the Company’s expected future cash flow projections, the Company concluded that the midpoint enterprise value estimate of $662.7 million should be used for fresh start reporting purposes, as it most closely approximates fair value.

In accordance with fresh start reporting, at June 30, 2010, the Company’s enterprise value has been allocated to existing assets using the measurement guidance provided in accounting guidance related to business combinations.  In addition, liabilities, other than deferred taxes, have been recorded at the present value of amounts estimated to be paid.  Finally, the Predecessor’s accumulated deficit has been eliminated and the Company’s new debt and equity have been recorded at fair value in accordance with the Plan.  Deferred taxes have been determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to income taxes.

Estimates of fair value represent the Company’s best estimates, which are based on industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions, and discounted cash flow valuation methods, among other factors.   The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities is subject to significant estimation and assumptions and there can be no assurance that the estimates, assumptions and values reflected in the valuations will be realized and actual results could vary materially.

Note 4. Property Tax Refund Receivable
 
The Company’s original hotel and parking structures property tax assessment for 2008 through 2010 was disputed by the Company. The Company recorded as an expense and paid the original amounts assessed by the City of Detroit.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company and the City of Detroit entered into a settlement agreement to reduce the property tax basis going forward and provide a retroactive reduction to the basis resulting in a refund of approximately $3.5 million for 2008 through 2010. The Company received a partial payment of approximately $2.6 million from the City of Detroit subsequent to March 31, 2011. The Company expects to be paid the remaining $0.8 million from the City of Detroit during 2011.

Note 5.  Goodwill & Other Identifiable Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the reorganization value of Greektown Superholdings over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible net assets upon emergence from bankruptcy.  Greektown recorded goodwill of $110.3 million upon the application of fresh start reporting.
 
Other identifiable intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Amortization expense related to the rated player relationships intangible asset for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $3.45 million. Annual amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, is estimated to be $13.8 million for each of the respective years, and approximately $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
Upon the Effective Date, in connection with fresh start reporting, the Company recognized Greektown Casino’s trade names, rated player relationships and casino development rights under the Development Agreement at estimated fair value as set forth in the table above. Intangible assets related to Greektown Casino were valued by valuation professionals who used income and cost-based methods, as appropriate.  The Greektown trade name was valued based on the relief from royalty method, which is a function of projected revenue, the royalty rate that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of an asset to an unrelated licensee, and a discount rate.
 
The royalty rate was based on factors such as age, market competition, absolute and relative profitability, market share and prevailing rates from similar assets to reach a 1% royalty rate.
 
Casino development rights were valued based on the Greenfield method, which is a function of the cost to build a new casino operation, the build out period, and projected cash flows attributable to the Casino once operational, at a discount rate.  The value assigned to the rated player relationships is based on the present value of future earnings using the replacement cost method based on internally developed estimates.

Note 6.  Debt

The DIP Facility contained covenants including limitations on additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, mergers or acquisitions, dispositions of assets, loans and advances, and transactions with affiliates. Further, the agreement required the Casino to maintain specific financial ratios including monthly minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring costs (EBITDAR), as defined in the DIP Facility.

As security for the term loan and any amounts owed under the revolving credit facility, Holdings had pledged its 100% equity interest in the Casino. Further, the Casino also assigned a security interest in all of its assets as collateral for the above agreements, and had guaranteed repayment of these borrowings.

Except as permitted under the terms of DIP Facility and other existing Credit Facilities, the Company was not permitted to incur any other indebtedness. On June 30, 2010, the Company repaid the DIP Facility Financing as part of the plan of reorganization.

Purchase Agreement; Indenture; Notes

On June 25, 2010, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase, $280.2 million principal amount of its “New Senior Secured Notes”) which are guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Obligors”) which executed a joinder to the Purchase Agreement on June 30, 2010.

On the Effective Date, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of the New Senior Secured Notes under the Purchase Agreement in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in the United States in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Note 6.  Debt (continued)

Security:  The New Senior Secured Notes and the related Guarantees are secured by a second-priority lien on (i) substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and each Guarantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except certain excluded assets and (ii) a pledge of all the capital stock of all the subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain limitations (in each case subject to certain permitted prior liens and liens securing certain permitted priority lien debt, including borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility described below).

Optional Redemption:  At any time prior to January 1, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the New Senior Secured Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus a specified premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of New Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.  On or after January 1, 2013, the Company may redeem some or all of the New Senior Secured Notes at any time at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date.

Mandatory Redemption:  The New Senior Secured Notes are subject to mandatory disposition or redemption following certain determinations by applicable gaming regulatory authorities.

Greektown Superholdings, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2011
 
Note 6.  Debt (continued)

General: The Credit Agreement provides for the Revolving Loan, which is a three and one-half year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount initially of up to $20 million (increasing to $30 million upon the discharge and release of existing mortgages on the Trappers Parcel (as defined below) securing indebtedness owed by third parties (the “Trappers Mortgage Release”) including $5 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit.  The maximum expiration of individual letters of credit is twelve months after the issuance thereof or, if earlier, the maturity of the Revolving Loan.

Security and Guarantees.  The Revolving Loan is secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest on all the assets of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, excluding, among other things, the Company’s gaming license.

Interest and Fees.  Borrowings under the Revolving Loan initially bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.50%, or the higher of Comerica Bank’s prime reference rate and 3.25%.  Upon the Trappers Mortgage Release, the Revolving Loan will bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% (if the Leverage Ratio (as defined below) is less than 4 to 1) or 2.25% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1) or at an annual rate of (a) the higher of (i) Comerica Bank’s prime reference rate and (ii) 2.50% minus (b) 0.50% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1) or 1% (if the Leverage Ratio is less than 4 to 1).  There is a facility fee of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate revolving credit commitment amount payable quarterly in arrears commencing on July 1, 2010 (in respect of the prior fiscal quarter or portion thereof), and on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.  There is also a non-refundable letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the face amount of each letter of credit payable quarterly in advance. Upon the Trappers Mortgage Release, the interest rate spread above LIBOR drops to 1.75% (if the Leverage Ratio is less than 4 to 1) or 2.25% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1).  “Leverage Ratio” means as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, the ratio of an amount equal to, on a consolidated basis, the sum of all of the funded debt of the Company and its subsidiaries as of such date, excluding all subordinated debt, to EBITDA (as defined below) for the four fiscal quarters then ending.  Adjustments to the interest rate and the applicable letter of credit fee rate are implemented quarterly based on the Leverage Ratio.

Prepayment.  The Revolving Loan requires mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to (i) 100% of the net proceeds of the permitted sale of assets (subject to certain exclusions and permitted reinvestments), (ii) 100% of the net proceeds of any recovery from insurance arising from an event of loss (subject to certain exclusions and permitted reinvestments), and (iii) 100% of the net proceeds for the issuance of any debt or equity securities (subject to certain exclusions).  Except with respect to certain asset sales, mandatory prepayments do not reduce revolving credit commitments.

Certain Covenants.  The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to sell assets and property, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make distributions, dividends or payments on account of, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, any of the Company’s capital stock, prepay certain indebtedness, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, engage in transactions with affiliates, amend agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness, including the New Senior Secured Notes, make capital expenditures, enter into negative pledges, change the fiscal year and change the Company’s or any subsidiary’s name, jurisdiction of incorporation, or the location at which any Collateral is stored.  The Company has also agreed to complete the Trappers Mortgage Release within one year following the date of the Revolving Loan.
 
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant pursuant to which the Company must maintain, as of each Test Date, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1 (measured from the Effective Date until the applicable determination date for all fiscal quarters ending on or before March 31, 2011, and thereafter, on a trailing twelve month basis).  “Test Date” means (i) the last day of each fiscal year of the Company, and (ii) the last day of each fiscal quarter, if the sum of the average daily outstanding advances plus the aggregate undrawn face amount of all issued, outstanding and unexpired letters of credit under the Revolving Loan exceeded $7.5 million during such quarter or if there are any advances outstanding under the Revolving Loan on the last day of such fiscal quarter.  “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means EBITDA divided by the sum, without duplication, of (i) cash interest expense, (ii) principal payments, (iii) cash income tax payments, (iv) restricted payments paid or payable in cash, (v) unfinanced capital expenditures, and (vi) capitalized lease payments.  For the September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 measuring periods, unfinanced capital expenditures were assumed to be the lesser of (x) actual unfinanced capital expenditures and (y) $3 million, $6 million and $9 million, respectively.

Note 6.  Debt (continued)

“EBITDA” means, for any period of determination, net income for the applicable period plus, without duplication and only to the extent deducted in determining net income, (i) depreciation and amortization expense for such period, (ii) interest expense, whether paid or accrued, for such period, (iii) all income taxes for such period, and (iv) certain unusual and non-recurring charges occurring within twelve months of effectiveness of the Revolving Loan.

Event of Default.  The Revolving Loan contains certain events of default, including failure to make required payments; breaches of covenants which are not cured within a stated cure period or any representations and warranties in any material adverse respect; defaults under certain other indebtedness; certain judgments against the Company for the payment of money; failure to keep any material provision of any loan document valid, binding and enforceable; a change of control; an event of bankruptcy or insolvency; loss of the Company’s gaming licenses to the extent such loss is reasonably likely to cause a material adverse effect; the Company becomes the subject of certain enforcement actions if such enforcement action has not been dismissed or terminated within 60 days after commencement; or the Company becomes prohibited from conducting gaming activities for a period of greater than thirty consecutive days.  A default could result in, among other things, a termination of the revolving credit commitment and acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan.

Trappers Mortgage Release.  A small parcel of real property underlying a portion of our casino operations (the “Trappers Parcel”) is encumbered by mortgages which secure indebtedness owed to the Company and third parties.  While the Company believes that these third party liens are discharged pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the liens established by these mortgages were not removed from the title record or insured by the title company prior to the Effective Date. Historical subordination agreements from the third parties holding such mortgages exist whereby such parties have agreed not to exercise remedies until Casino has exercised such remedies under a mortgage in favor of Casino on the same parcel.

Further, the Company and its subsidiaries have agreed to collaterally assign the mortgage in favor of the Company as well as a mortgage under which a pre-bankruptcy affiliate of the Company is the borrower (but as to which the Company is also the beneficiary of a collateral assignment to secure the mortgage in favor of us) to the lenders under the Revolving Loan on a first-priority basis and to the holders of the New Senior Secured Notes on a second-priority basis. However, if the subordination agreements and the collateral assignment of the mortgage in favor of the Company and under which the Company’s pre-bankruptcy affiliate is the borrower were determined not to be enforceable, such mortgages could be deemed to have a higher priority than the mortgage on such property that the Company is granting to holders of the notes.  In the event that the holders of such mortgages are able to exercise their rights under such mortgages, they would be entitled, among other remedies, to foreclose such liens which could result in the Company’s loss of title to such property.  Pending the discharge of the liens on the Trappers Parcel, availability under the Revolving Loan is limited to $20 million, and the failure to resolve the issue within one year of the closing of the Revolving Loan will result in a default under the Credit Agreement unless otherwise waived.

Note 6.  Debt (continued)

As of three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $0.9 million of letters of credit outstanding.
 
The Company has reached an agreement in principle with Comerica Bank pursuant to which the parties have agreed to certain modifications to the Credit Agreement.  Specifically, the Credit Agreement will be amended as follows:
 
Extend until June 30, 2012 the deadline for the Company’s obligation to discharge and release certain existing mortgages (the “Trappers Liens”) on a small parcel of real property underlying a portion of the Company’s casino operations;

Eliminate the $20 million limit on the amount of the revolver available for borrowing by the Company at any time, such that the entire $30 million facility will be available for borrowing;

Eliminate the requirement that there be no debt outstanding on the revolver before and after giving effect to annual excess cash flow payments on the Company’s outstanding 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2015;

Modify the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement to exclude specified capital expenditures and to provide that the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be tested only on an annual basis;

Reduce to Libor plus 250bps the rate of interest payable in respect of borrowings under the revolver and any letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement prior to the discharge of the Trappers Liens;

Add a covenant requiring that the Company achieve specified minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during twelve month periods ending on the Company’s second fiscal quarter; and

Add a 45 day annual revolver “clean up period” during which the Company will be required to maintain a $0 balance on the revolver for a period of 45 consecutive days.

These changes will be included in a formal amendment to the Credit Agreement, the form of which has been agreed upon, subject to approval of the amendment by the MGCB.  The Company is seeking approval of the MGCB to modify the fixed charge coverage ratio required to be maintained by Greektown by the MGCB in order to exclude specified capital expenditures agreed to by Comerica Bank and to test the covenant only on an annual basis. There can be no assurance that necessary MGCB approvals will be obtained.

Dividends. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock (including unissued shares) accrues dividends on a daily basis at a rate equal to 7.5% per annum of the Series A Reference Price (whether or not declared), subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. Such dividends are cumulative; provided, however, that such dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board, and for so long as Greektown Superholdings is subject to the jurisdiction of the MGCB, Greektown Superholdings may not pay any dividends unless such dividends are approved by, and issued in compliance with the regulations and restrictions imposed by, the MGCB. Greektown Superholdings may not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of Greektown Superholdings (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend equal to (i) the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock plus (ii) either (A) in the case of a dividend on Common Stock or any class or series of capital stock convertible into Common Stock, the amount that would have been payable with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock if such share had been converted to Common Stock on the record date for payment of such dividend or (B) in the case of a dividend on any class or series of capital stock that is not convertible into Common Stock, an amount determined by (x) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of each share of such class or series of capital stock and (y) multiplying such fraction by the Series A Reference Price; provided that, if Greektown Superholdings declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on more than one class or series of capital stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive an amount calculated based on the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Series A Preferred Stock dividend.

Distributions. All distributions to the shareholders of Greektown Superholdings upon a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Greektown Superholdings, if any, will be made in accordance with the order and priority set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

Warrants to Purchase Series A Preferred Stock

On the effective date, Greektown Superholdings issued warrants to purchase shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, in each case, at an initial purchase price per share equal to $0.01 (the “Warrant Shares”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant to Purchase Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Warrant”), which is the form of a warrant used for both warrants to purchase the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. Greektown Superholdings entered into such warrants with any Put Party and/or holder of Old Senior Notes who elected to purchase Preferred Stock representing more than 4.9% of the capital stock of Greektown Superholdings as of the Effective Date, or if such party that qualified as an “Institutional Investor” under Michigan gaming law elected to purchase more than 14.9% of the capital stock of Greektown Superholdings as of the Effective Date.

Early Termination.  In the event of any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the capital stock of Greektown Superholdings (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of Greektown Superholdings with or into another corporation (other than a merger solely to effect a reincorporation of Greektown Superholdings into another state), or the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition in a single transaction or series of related transactions of all or substantially all of its assets to any other person and such transaction results in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Greektown Superholdings pursuant to Section B.3 of Article 4 of Greektown Superholdings’ Certificate of Incorporation, at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration of a Warrant or the exercise in full of a Warrant, each holder of a Warrant will be entitled to receive, subject to the consummation of such event, the cash, securities and other property that such holder would have received in respect of the Warrant Shares had such holder exercised its Warrant immediately prior to the effective time of such event less an amount equal to (i) the number number of Warrant Shares then subject to the applicable Warrant multiplied by (ii) the purchase price per share of such Warrant in effect at the time of such event.

Limitations on Exercise. The exercise of each Warrant and the issuance of the Warrant Shares by Greektown Superholdings upon such exercise are subject to Article Twelfth of the Certificate of Incorporation, which prohibits the issuance of shares of capital stock of Greektown Superholdings in certain circumstances.
 
Note 8.  Gaming Taxes and Fees
 
Under the provisions of the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act (the “Act”), casino licenses are subject to the following gaming taxes and fees on an ongoing basis:
 
 
An annual licensing fee;
 
 
An annual payment, together with the other two casino licensees, of all MGCB regulatory and enforcement costs. The Company paid $10.2 million for its portion of the annual assessment in 2010;
 
 
A wagering tax, calculated based on adjusted gross gaming receipts, payable daily, of 19%.
 
 
A municipal services fee in an amount equal to the greater of 1.25% of adjusted gross gaming receipts or $4 million annually.
 
These gaming taxes and fees are in addition to the taxes, fees, and assessments customarily paid by business entities conducting business in the State of Michigan and the City of Detroit. The Company recorded $19.0 million and $19.6 as gaming tax expense for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 and predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.
 
The Company is also required to pay a daily fee to the City of Detroit (City) in the amount of 1% of adjusted gross receipts, increasing to 2% of adjusted gross receipts if adjusted gross receipts exceed $400 million in any one calendar year. Additionally, if and when adjusted gross receipts exceed $400 million, the Company will be required to pay $4 million to the City of Detroit. The Company does not anticipate its adjusted gross receipts to exceed $400 million during the calendar year 2011.
 
Initially, we were required to pay a combined State of Michigan and City of Detroit wagering tax rate equal to 24% of our adjusted gross receipts. Pursuant to the Michigan Gaming Act, once we had 400 fully operational hotel rooms operating for 30 consecutive days and we were otherwise in compliance with the development agreement, we would be eligible for a reduction in the combined State of Michigan and City of Detroit wagering tax rate from 24% to 19% of our adjusted gross receipts (the “Tax Rollback”). MGM Detroit and MotorCity had received the Tax Rollback prior to 2009. On February 15, 2009, we opened our hotel including 400 guest rooms to the public. We contended that we were eligible for the Tax Rollback as of February 15, 2009. The City of Detroit had objected to our eligibility based on its contention that we were not in compliance with the Revised Development Agreement that Greektown LLC entered into with the City of Detroit and the Detroit Economic Development Corporation on August 2, 2002 (the “Development Agreement”). Various litigation ensued with the City of Detroit in connection with these disputes. On October 9, 2009, the Debtors filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to approve an amended settlement agreement (the “Amended Settlement Agreement”) with the City of Detroit.

The Bankruptcy Court approved the Amended Settlement Agreement on February 22, 2010, which provides for a resolution of all disputes with the City of Detroit. The Amended Settlement Agreement was conditioned upon (i) approval of the Amended Settlement Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court, which was obtained on February 22, 2010; and (ii) final approvals of the Amended Settlement Agreement from various offices of the City of Detroit, which were obtained on February 24, 2010.

the Debtors agreed to pay the City of Detroit a settlement in the aggregate amount of $16.6 million (the “Settlement Payment”), less certain credits described below, subject to the following provisions: (i) the Debtor agreed to pay initial cash payment of $3.5 million (the “Initial Cash Payment”) within two business days after entry of an order by the Bankruptcy court approving the Settlement Agreement; (ii) a credit was required to be applied to reduce the Settlement Payment in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the amount of gaming taxes actually paid to the City between February 15, 2009 and February 15, 2010 and (b) the amount of gaming taxes that would have been paid through the date of the settlement to the City had the Tax Rollback been effective as of February 15, 2009); and (iii) the Debtors agreed to pay a final cash amount of $9.6 million (the “Final Cash Payment”), which is the remaining amount of Settlement Payment after the Initial Cash Payment and the application of the credit described above;
 
upon the receipt of the Final Cash Payment, the City was deemed to have dismissed and waived any and all claims of default under the Development Agreement;
 
the City agreed to cease its demand for a 1% tax increase due to the delayed completion of the Expanded Complex;
 
the City agreed to  consent to the transfer of the ownership of the Greektown Casino and the Development Agreement to the reorganized Debtors in accordance with the Plan; and
 
the City agreed to take actions to dismiss all related litigation.
 
The Settlement Agreement was conditioned upon (i) approval of the Settlement Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court, which was obtained on February 22, 2010; and (ii) final approvals of the Settlement Agreement from various offices of the City, which were obtained on February 24, 2010.
 
Note 9: Stock Based Compensation
 
On August 11, 2010 (supplemented on September 29, 2010), the Compensation Committee approved a director compensation program for members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the terms of the compensation program, the Chairman of the Board shall receive an annual retainer of $225,000, the Vice Chairman of the Board shall receive an annual retainer of $125,000, and all other board members shall receive an annual retainer of $75,000.  In addition, the Chairmen of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Regulatory Compliance Committee and the Compensation Committee shall each receive an additional $25,000, and each member of the Board of Directors that serves on a committee in a non-chair capacity shall receive an additional $10,000.
 
All annual retainers will be paid half in cash and half in restricted shares of Series A-1 Common Stock, vesting in quarterly increments over a one year period.  Each director may elect annually to receive all or part of the equity portion of the award in cash.  Such cash payments will be made when the equity would have vested.

Note 9: Stock Based Compensation (continued)
 
 
The director compensation program provides that each member of the Company’s Board of Directors is entitled to receive restricted shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Common Stock.  In addition to the annual retainer, upon joining the Company’s Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board became entitled to $275,000 of such stock, the Vice Chairman of the Board became entitled to $150,000 of such stock, and all other directors are entitled to $125,000 of such stock.  All such restricted shares will vest in three equal annual installments.
 
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $0.1 million.
 
The weighted-average fair value at the grant date of restricted stock granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $90.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted unvested stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

Note 10: Earnings per share
 
EPS is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if certain restrictions lapse on restricted stock awards and preferred stock and warrants are converted to common stock. Anti-dilutive securities are excluded from diluted EPS.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 (in thousands, except per share data):

    Successor  
   
Three months ended March 31, 2011
 
       
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for basic computation
  $ (8,521 )
Less: Preferred stock dividends
    (9,145 )
Less: Preferred stock dividends on shares underlying warrants
    (3,730 )

Basic loss per common share:
       
Weighted average common shares outstanding
    140,735  
         
Basic and diluted loss per common share
  $ (152.03 )
 
Due to the Company's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011, the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock and warrants were not included in the computation of EPS, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements
 
The Fair Value Measurements topic of the FASB ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this guidance are described below:
 
Level 1:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
 
Level 2:
Inputs to the valuation methodology include;

 
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
 
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
 
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
 
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation methodologies for these can be found at Note 2.
 
Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
 
Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other similar cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and certificates of deposit, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and certificates of deposit, could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Note 12.  Michigan Gaming Control Board Covenant
 
   On June 28, 2010, the MGCB approved Greektown’s new ownership structure, capitalization and management. The MGCB’s approval order (the “Order”) provides that the Company must demonstrate its continuing financial viability for so long as any indebtedness is outstanding under the Revolving Loan and the Notes by complying with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant and a limitation on certain restricted payments.
 
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
 
The Order requires the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a ratio of EBITDA to Fixed Charges (each as defined below) on the last day of each calendar quarter of not less than:
 
(1)           1.00 to 1.00 (until March 31, 2011); and
 
(2)           1.05 to 1.00 (after March 31, 2011).
 
The fixed charge coverage ratio will be measured from the Effective Date until the applicable determination date for all fiscal quarters ending on or before March 31, 2011 and on a trailing twelve month basis thereafter.
 
The Order defines the ratio as the ratio of:
 
(1)           EBITDA for the measurement period then ending to
 
(2)           Fixed Charges for the measurement period.
 
For purposes of the Order:
 
“EBITDA” means, for any period of determination, net income for the applicable period plus, without duplication and only to the extent deducted in determining net income:
 
(1)           depreciation and amortization expense for such period;
 
(2)           interest expense, whether paid or accrued, for such period;
 
(3)           all income taxes for such period; and
 
(4)           for any fiscal quarter ending on or before June 30, 2011, specified non-recurring expenses for such period.
 
“Fixed Charges” means, for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:
 
(1)           all cash interest expense on funded debt paid or payable in respect of such period; plus
 
(2)           all installments of principal with respect to funded debt, including excess cash flow recapture payments, or other sums paid or due and payable during such period by the Company with respect to all of its funded debt (other than the repayment of advances under a revolving credit facility and payments of principal in connection with any refinancing of any funded debt); plus
 
(3)           all preferred dividends paid in cash for such period; plus
 
(4)           all unfinanced capital expenditures for such period; plus
 
(5)           all capitalized rent and lease expense for such period.

Note 12.  Michigan Gaming Control Board Covenant (continued)

The Company will be permitted to cure any anticipated non-compliance with this ratio with capital raised in an offering of equity securities. The Company may add to EBITDA the net proceeds of any offering of equity securities of the Company or its subsidiaries consummated before the date that a financial audit must be delivered to the MGCB for the applicable period with respect to which the fixed charge coverage ratio is measured under the order to make up the amount of any shortfall in the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for the applicable period. Any equity proceeds exceeding those necessary to make up the shortfall will be available to make up shortfalls in the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for any subsequent periods.

The Company is seeking approval of the MGCB of certain amendments with respect to the fixed coverage ratio (see Note 6).

Limitation on Certain Restricted Payments
 
The MGCB order also prohibits the Company from making any distributions or pay any dividends on account of the Company’s capital stock without the prior written approval of the MGCB, other than repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions for value of any of the Company’s preferred stock or common stock held by any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders agreement or similar agreement, not to exceed $1.5 million in any twelve month period.
 
City of Detroit Covenant
 
The Company is required, within six months of the Effective Date, to propose a manager to the City of Detroit for approval by Detroit’s mayor and city council (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by the mayor or the city counsel); provided, that such time may be extended by the mayor of Detroit, in his discretion, for up to two one-month periods upon written request. In February 2011, the City Council approved an extension of this deadline to May 31, 2011.  In addition, any such manager or supplement to the existing management team would also be subject to the approval of the MGCB and any other applicable regulatory approvals. On March 22, 2011 the Company announced that it had extended an offer to Michael Puggi of the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Greektown.  The offer is subject to the negotiation and execution of a mutually agreeable employment agreement and approval of Mr. Puggi by the Michigan Gaming Control Board and the City of Detroit.
 
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is a defendant in various pending legal actions. In management’s opinion, the ultimate outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.
 
Under the Revised Development Agreement, should a triggering event as defined, occur the Company must sell its assets, business, and operations as a going concern at their fair market value to a developer named by the City. The Company noted that for the period ended March 31, 2011, no triggering event has occurred.
 
As part of the bankruptcy reorganization process, the Company engaged Moelis & Company, LLC (“Moelis”) to act as investment banker. The Moelis engagement letter provides for a success fee if certain requirements are met. Moelis asserted administrative claim for fees and expenses totaling approximately $12.9 million, of which approximately $3 million was paid prior to the effective date of the reorganization.  The Company believes such amount substantially exceeds the amount to which Moelis is entitled under its engagement letter.  The Company has filed an objection to Moelis's administrative claim, and a hearing on that matter before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan is pending.

The Company requested a ruling from the Michigan Department of Treasury regarding certain potential  tax liabilities under the Michigan Business Tax (principally related to the survival of certain Michigan tax attributes such as net operating loss carryforwards and the tax basis of assets) arising from the June 30, 2010 restructuring transactions.  The Company failed to receive a favorable ruling.  In response, the Company has asked the Bankruptcy Court to issue a determination as to these matters. A hearing on the Company's request for a determination was held on March 21, 2011, at which time the Bankruptcy Court requested that the parties submit further briefing.

Certain parties to contracts entered into prior to the commencement of the Debtors' bankruptcy proceedings have asserted claims alleging that the Company assumed those contracts and is responsible for amounts  necessary to cure prepetition defaults under such contracts.  Other similar claims may still be asserted. The Company may become involved in disputes over the nature and amount of such claims.

Certain of such claims have been withdrawn.  There are currently additional claims that may still be asserted. The amounts of such claims are estimated at approximately $0.6 million.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Background and Overview
 
Greektown Superholdings was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 17, 2010. Greektown Superholdings was formed to hold, directly and indirectly through Greektown Sub, all outstanding membership interests of Greektown LLC, as of the effective date of its emergence from bankruptcy protection. Through Greektown LLC, we own and operate Greektown Casino. Greektown Casino opened in November 2000 in downtown Detroit. In February 2009, Greektown Casino completed its Expanded Complex at a cost of approximately $336.3 million. Greektown Casino is one of only three commercial casinos licensed to operate in Michigan and our Expanded Complex offers a full range of gaming, dining and entertainment alternatives, including:
 
 
approximately 100,000 square-feet of gaming space with 2,600 slot machines and 67 table games, including an approximately 12,500 square-foot salon dedicated to high-limit gaming and the largest live poker room in the Metro Detroit Gaming Market (as defined below);
 
 
approximately 2,810 attached and 1,750 unattached parking spaces, including over 600 parking spaces for valet parking services;
 
 
10,000 square feet of convention space;
 
 
a 400-room hotel;
 
 
four restaurants, including a 180-seat “International Buffet”;
 
 
·
several food outlets on the gaming floor; and
 
 
eight bars and two entertainment facilities.
 
Access to Greektown Casino is facilitated by a nearby off-ramp from Interstate 375 and six interstate highways passing through downtown Detroit. We estimate that Greektown Casino attracts approximately 17,200 patrons per day on average, and we believe a significant number of these patrons make regular visits to our property. Our players club, known as “Club Greektown,” is a membership/loyalty program that attracts customers by offering incentives to frequent casino visitors. From inception we had approximately 1.3 million people in our database for Club Greektown. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 159,000 of the people in our database had visited Greektown Casino during the preceding three months. We believe the gaming market in the Detroit area, which consists of three commercial casinos in Michigan (the “Detroit Commercial Casinos”), together with the commercial casino in Windsor, Ontario (the “Metro Detroit Gaming Market”), is primarily a “drive-to” gaming market, with over 95% of patrons residing within 100 miles of Greektown Casino.
 
Key Financial Statement Terms
 
Revenues
 
Our gross revenues are derived from casino revenues, food and beverage revenues, hotel revenues and other revenues. Our largest component of revenues is casino revenues, which represented approximately 89.7% of our total gross revenues for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 and 90.1% of our gross revenues for the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010. Gross casino revenues are comprised of revenues from our slot machines (which was the source of approximately 89.1% of total gross casino revenues for successor three months ended March 31, 2011 and 88.7% of total gross casino revenues for the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010) and table games, and are calculated as the difference between the amount wagered and the amount paid to customers from gaming activities.
 
We lease a number of our slot machines and pay participation fees, which are calculated as either a percentage of gross slot machine revenue or a fixed fee on a per machine basis, to our slot machine vendors. Those participation expenses are reflected as a reduction of gross casino revenues. The expenses associated with our “Club Greektown” membership/loyalty program are also reflected as a reduction of gross casino revenues. In accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB ASC applicable to instances where consideration is given by a vendor to a customer, we expense the cash value of points earned by Club Greektown members and recognize a related liability for any unredeemed points.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months March 31, 2010
 
Overview. The three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 are not directly comparable as the Effective Date of the Plan of reorganization occurred on June 30, 2010 and the results presented for three month period ended March 31, 2010 are of the Predecessor.
 
Net revenues. Net revenues for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 and predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010, were approximately $83.8 million and $86.1 million, respectively. Net revenues are impacted by the general economic condition of the region, the seasonality of our business, and our ability to attract customers in the Detroit Commercial Market. Casino revenue represented 89.9% and 90.1% of gross revenues for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 and predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. The Company believes that its revenues during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 were adversely affected by harsh weather. Table games as a percentage of gross casino revenue were 14.8% and 15.5% for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 and the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, promotional allowance as a percentage of gross revenue was 13.3% and 12.0% for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 and predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, resulting from enhanced promotional offers to our patrons in order to retain market share in light of enhanced competitive conditions in the Metro Detroit Gaming Market.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses increased by $5.8 million, or 8.5% as a percentage of net revenues, in the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The following is a discussion of the principal drivers of trends in direct operating expenses:

Casino expenses. Casino-related expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 6.8% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the prior year.  The decrease in this category was primarily driven by a decrease in complimentary (food, beverage, and hotel room) costs of approximately $1.3 and a decrease in progressive expenses of approximately $0.3 million.

Gaming taxes. Gaming taxes decreased $0.5 million during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 relative to the comparable period in the prior year, as a result of the decrease in casino revenue.

Food and beverage expenses. Food and beverage expenses increased $2.2 million, or 2.7% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in food and beverage payroll costs of approximately $0.7 million, as union employees received a pay rate increase under the terms of the collective bargaining agreements in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase was also attributable in part to an increase in cost of sales of approximately $0.4 million due to a higher quality product being served, other expenses increasing approximately $0.2 million, and a decrease in promotional complimentary expenses of approximately $0.5 million.
 
 
Hotel expenses. Hotel expenses increased by $0.6 million or by 0.8% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase in hotel expenses was primarily driven by increased sales and marketing costs of approximately $0.2, hotel payroll costs of approximately $0.2 million, as union employees received a pay rate increase under the terms of the collective bargaining agreements in the fourth quarter of 2010, and miscellaneous hotel expense of approximately $0.2 million. These incremental costs lead to an increase in our hotel occupancy by approximately 407 rooms between the comparable periods.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $5.0 million or by 6.2% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase primarily related to the revaluation of property, buildings, and equipment and the recording of certain definite lived intangible assets, as a result of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on June 30, 2010. Incremental depreciation expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $6.8 million and amortization of the rated player relationships asset recorded during such period was approximately $3.5 million.

Indirect operating expenses. Indirect operating expenses increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 1.8% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.  The following is a discussion of the principal drivers of trends in indirect operating expenses:

Marketing, advertising and entertainment.  Marketing, advertising and entertainment expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 0.4% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease primarily related to a decrease in television and radio and miscellaneous costs of approximately $0.7 million, offset by an increase in  magazine, production and art work, and outdoor and billboard advertising costs of approximately $0.3 million.

Facilities.  Facilities expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million, or 0.8% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The increase primarily related to an increase in facilities payroll costs of approximately $0.4 million, as union employees received a pay rate increase under the terms of the collective bargaining agreements in the fourth quarter of 2010, and other engineering costs of approximately $0.2 million.

General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.8 million, or 1.3% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The increase primarily related to an increase in the following costs: legal and accounting (which includes expenses associated with the compliance and disclosure obligations arising from our status as a public reporting company), miscellaneous, contract services, payroll, and maintenance agreement for the Company’s computer equipment of approximately $0.8 million.

 
Other. Other indirect operating expenses change was minimal during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Other indirect operating expenses remained consistent during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010.

Reorganization  expenses. Reorganization expenses decreased by approximately $7.0 million or by 8.2% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Reorganization expense decrease primarily related to a decrease in bankruptcy-related professional fees and expenses of approximately $6.8 million correlated with activities in the bankruptcy cases and the settlement of approximately $0.2 million in cure claims with certain vendors, as the Company emerged from bankruptcy on June 30, 2010.

Other expense. Other expense decreased by approximately $5.9 million, or 6.4% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 over the comparable period in the prior year. The following is a discussion of the primary drivers of the trends in other expense.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $6.2 million, or 6.8% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily related to the Company’s reduced debt load, in connection with the emergence from bankruptcy.

Amortization of finance fees and accretion of discount on senior notes. Amortization of finance fees and accretion of discount on senior note increased by $0.7 million, or 0.8% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The increase of approximately $0.8 million relates to the accretion of discounts for the Series A and B notes, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.1 in finance fees.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by approximately $1.5 million, or 1.7% as a percentage of net revenues, during the successor three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily related to the recognition of a deferred tax liability related to indefinite lived intangible assets. Additionally, for the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010, the provision for income taxes only includes MBT, whereas, the successor three months ended March 31, 2011 provision for income tax includes Federal taxes and MBT.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview
 
Our cash requirements have historically been for working capital, obligations under the Development Agreement, gaming taxes, debt service, the improvement of our facilities, including the Expanded Complex, the payment of management fees, tax distributions and, during the bankruptcy, the funding of reorganization expenses associated with our bankruptcy. In connection with the reorganization, we are required to fund the Litigation Trust.
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $26.1 million and working capital was $8.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2011.  We had $20.0 million of available borrowings under our Revolving Loan at March 31, 2011. We borrowed approximately $14.0 million under this agreement during the first quarter of 2011 to fund operating expenses, including the semi-annual interest payment under the notes of approximately $25.1 million. The borrowings were subsequently repaid with cash generated from operating activities.
 
As of March 31, 2011, restricted cash consisted of $7.5 million funded into a segregated bank account in accordance with the terms of the Litigation Trust. The terms of the Litigation Trust require the Company to fund $10.0 million in four equal quarterly installments of $2.5 million of which the first three have been funded. The unsecured distribution liability of $7.5 million was included as a current liability as of March 31, 2011.

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities. Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities decreased for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily related to the payment of approximately $25.1 million in semi annual interest payments in relation to the notes on January 3, 2011, partially offset by a reduction in reorganization cost payments.
 
Net cash (used in) investing activities. Net cash (used in) investing activities increased for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily related to the $2.5 million payment the Company to the Litigation Trust during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Net cash (used in) financing activities. Net cash (used in) financing activities decreased for the successor three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the predecessor three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily related to the reorganization of the Company’s capital structure, which resulted in decreased borrowings, thus decreasing finance fees by approximately $9.1 million.

Pre-petition and DIP Financing

In December 2005, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Pre-petition Credit Facility”) that provided for a $190 million term loan and a $100 million revolving credit facility and we issued $185 million of 10.75% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Old Senior Notes”). In April 2007, we increased the availability under the revolving credit portion of the Pre-petition Credit Facility to $125 million. In April 2007, we also entered into a $37.5 million incremental delayed draw term loan to be drawn within one year. However, in connection with our temporary waiver agreement with the lenders under the Pre-petition Credit Facility, we agreed to reduce the commitments under the incremental delayed term loan to zero. As of the Effective Date, the Pre-petition Credit Facility was terminated and the Old Senior Notes were cancelled.

On June 9, 2008, following the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings, we entered into a $150 million DIP facility (the “Original DIP Facility”) in order to finance the remainder of the Expanded Complex and provide funding for working capital and the costs associated with our reorganization. The Original DIP Facility included a delayed draw term loan for $135 million and a revolving credit facility for $15 million. The funds from the delayed draw term loan facility were only available to be used for construction related expenditures, while the funds from the revolving credit facility were available to pay operational and construction related expenses.

The Original DIP Facility was amended and restated on February 20, 2009 (the “Amended and Restated Original DIP Facility”) to provide up to an additional $46 million in two delayed draw term loans. The Amended and Restated Original DIP Facility was replaced on December 29, 2009 by a $210 million DIP Facility in order to refinance the Amended and Restated Original DIP Facility and to provide funding for working capital and the costs associated with our reorganization.  The DIP Facility included a $190 million term loan and a $20 million delayed draw term loan. The DIP Facility bore interest at a fixed rate of 14.5% per annum, of which 11% was paid in cash and 3.5% was paid-in-kind. Immediately prior to the Effective Date, the term loan was fully drawn and $20 million remained available under the delayed draw term loan. On the Effective Date, the DIP Facility was repaid.

Revolving Loan

The Revolving Loan is a three and one -half year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount initially of up to $20 million (increasing to $30 million upon the discharge and release of existing mortgages on the Trappers Parcel (as defined below) securing indebtedness owed by third parties (the “Trappers Mortgage Release”)), including $5 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit.  The maximum expiration of individual letters of credit is twelve months after the issuance thereof or, if earlier, the maturity of the Revolving Loan.  The Revolving Loan was executed on the Effective Date and was undrawn as of such date.

The Revolving Loan is secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest on all the assets of Greektown Superholdings and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, excluding, among other things, our gaming license.

Borrowings under the Revolving Loan initially bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.50% or the higher of Comerica Bank’s prime reference rate and 3.25%.  Upon the Trappers Mortgage Release, the Revolving Loan will bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% (if the Leverage Ratio (as defined below) is less than 4 to 1) or 2.25% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1) or at an annual rate of (a) the higher of (i) Comerica Bank’s prime reference rate and (ii) 2.50% minus (b) 0.50% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1) or 1% (if the Leverage Ratio is less than 4 to 1).  There is a facility fee of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate revolving credit commitment amount payable quarterly in arrears commencing on July 1, 2010 (in respect of the prior fiscal quarter or portion thereof), and on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.  There is also a non-refundable letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the face amount of each letter of credit payable quarterly in advance.  Upon the Trappers Mortgage Release, the interest rate spread above LIBOR under the Revolving Loan drops to 1.75% (if the Leverage Ratio is less than 4 to 1) or 2.25% (if the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4 to 1).  “Leverage Ratio” means as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, the ratio of an amount equal to, on a consolidated basis, the sum of all of the funded debt of the Company and its subsidiaries as of such date, excluding all subordinated debt, to EBITDA (as defined below) for the four fiscal quarters then ending.  Adjustments to the interest rate and the applicable letter of credit fee rate are implemented quarterly based on the Leverage Ratio.

The Revolving Loan requires mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to (i) 100% of the net proceeds of the permitted sale of assets (subject to certain exclusions and permitted reinvestments), (ii) 100% of the net proceeds of any recovery from insurance arising from an event of loss (subject to certain exclusions and permitted reinvestments), and (iii) 100% of the net proceeds for the issuance of any debt or equity securities (subject to certain exclusions).  Except with respect to certain asset sales, mandatory prepayments will not reduce revolving credit commitments.

The Revolving Loan contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to sell assets and property, incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, loans, guarantees or advances, make distributions, dividends or payments on account of, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, any of our capital stock, prepay certain indebtedness, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, engage in transactions with affiliates, amend agreements governing our indebtedness, including the notes, make capital expenditures, enter into negative pledges, change our fiscal year and change our name, jurisdiction of incorporation or location at which any Collateral is stored.

In addition, the Revolving Loan contains a financial covenant pursuant to which Greektown Superholdings must maintain, as of each Test Date, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1 (measured from the Effective Date until the applicable determination date for all fiscal quarters ending on or before March 31, 2011 and thereafter, on a trailing twelve month basis).  “Test Date” means (i) the last day of each fiscal year of Greektown Superholdings, and (ii) the last day of each fiscal quarter, if the sum of the average daily outstanding advances plus the aggregate undrawn face amount of all issued, outstanding and unexpired letters of credit under the Revolving Loan exceeded $7.5 million during such quarter or if there are any advances outstanding under the Revolving Loan on the last day of such fiscal quarter.  “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means EBITDA divided by the sum, without duplication, of (i) cash interest expense, (ii) principal payments, (iii) cash income tax payments, (iv) restricted payments paid or payable in cash, (v) unfinanced capital expenditures, and (vi) capitalized lease payments.  For the September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 measuring periods, unfinanced capital expenditures will be assumed to be the lesser of (x) actual unfinanced capital expenditures and (y) $3 million, $6 million and $9 million, respectively.  “EBITDA” means, for any period of determination, net income for the applicable period plus, without duplication and only to the extent deducted in determining net income, (i) depreciation and amortization expense for such period, (ii) interest expense, whether paid or accrued, for such period, (iii) all income taxes for such period, and (iv) certain unusual and non-recurring charges occurring within twelve months of closing.

The Revolving Loan contains certain events of default, including failure to make required payments; breaches of covenants which are not cured within a stated cure period or any representations and warranties in any material adverse respect; defaults under certain other indebtedness; certain judgments against the Company for the payment of money; failure to keep any material provision of any loan document valid, binding and enforceable; a change of control; an event of bankruptcy or insolvency; loss of the Company’s gaming licenses to the extent such loss is reasonably likely to cause a material adverse effect; the Company becomes the subject of certain enforcement actions if such enforcement action has not been dismissed or terminated within 60 days after commencement; or the Company becomes prohibited from conducting gaming activities for a period of greater than thirty consecutive days.  A default could result in, among other things, a termination of the revolving credit commitment and acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan.

A small parcel of real property underlying a portion of our casino operations (the “Trappers Parcel”) is encumbered by mortgages which secure indebtedness owed to Greektown LLC and third parties.  While the Company believes that these third party liens are discharged pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the liens established by these mortgages were not removed from the title record or insured by the title company prior to the Effective Date. Historical subordination agreements from the third parties holding such mortgages exist whereby such parties have agreed not to exercise remedies until Greektown LLC has exercised such remedies under a mortgage in favor of Greektown LLC on the same parcel. Further, the Company and its subsidiaries have agreed to collaterally assign the mortgage in favor of Greektown LLC as well as a mortgage under which a pre-bankruptcy affiliate of the Company is the borrower (but as to which Greektown LLC is also the beneficiary of a collateral assignment to secure the mortgage in favor of us) to the lenders under the Revolving Loan on a first-priority basis and to the holders of the Notes on a second-priority basis. However, if the subordination agreements and the collateral assignment of the mortgage in favor of Greektown LLC and under which Greektown LLC’s pre-bankruptcy affiliate is the borrower were determined not to be enforceable, such mortgages could be deemed to have a higher priority than the mortgage on such property that the Company is granting to holders of the notes.  In the event that the holders of such mortgages are able to exercise their rights under such mortgages, they would be entitled, among other remedies, to foreclose such liens which could result in Greektown LLC’s loss of title to such property.  Pending the discharge of the liens on the Trappers Parcel, availability under the Revolving Loan will be limited to $20 million, and the failure to resolve the issue within one year of the closing of the Revolving Loan will result in a default under the Credit Agreement unless otherwise waived.

For the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2011
 
The Company has reached an agreement in principle with Comerica Bank pursuant to which the parties have agreed to certain modifications to the Credit Agreement.  Specifically, the Credit Agreement will be amended as follows:
 
Extend until June 30, 2012 the deadline for the Company’s obligation to discharge and release certain existing mortgages (the “Trappers Liens”) on a small parcel of real property underlying a portion of the Company’s casino operations;

Eliminate the $20 million limit on the amount of the revolver available for borrowing by the Company at any time, such that the entire $30 million facility will be available for borrowing;

Eliminate the requirement that there be no debt outstanding on the revolver before and after giving effect to annual excess cash flow payments on the Company’s outstanding 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2015;

Modify the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement to exclude specified capital expenditures and to provide that the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be tested only on an annual basis;

Reduce to Libor plus 250bps the rate of interest payable in respect of borrowings under the revolver and any letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement prior to the discharge of the Trappers Liens;

Add a covenant requiring that the Company achieve specified minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during twelve month periods ending on the Company’s second fiscal quarter; and

Add a 45 day annual revolver “clean up period” during which the Company will be required to maintain a $0 balance on the revolver for a period of 45 consecutive days.
 
These changes will be included in a formal amendment to the Credit Agreement, the form of which has been agreed upon, subject to approval of the amendment by the MGCB.  The Company is seeking approval of the MGCB to modify the fixed charge coverage ratio required to be maintained by Greektown by the MGCB in order to exclude specified capital expenditures agreed to by Comerica Bank and to test the covenant only on an annual basis. There can be no assurance that necessary MGCB approvals will be obtained.

New Senior Secured Notes

The New Senior Secured Notes mature on July 1, 2015.  The New Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum. Interest on the New Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2011.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The New Senior Secured Notes are subject to mandatory redemption, at 103% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if the Company has consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the Indenture governing the New Senior Secured Notes, for any fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year beginning on the date of the Indenture and ending December 31, 2010.

The New Senior Secured Notes are secured by a perfected lien and security interest on all the assets of Greektown Superholdings and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, excluding, among other things, our gaming license, junior only to the lien and security interest granted to lenders under the Revolving Loan. Subject to certain exceptions, the New Senior Secured Notes are also secured by a pledge of the membership interests and/or capital stock of Greektown Superholdings and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, junior only to the pledge of such interests to the lenders under the Revolving Loan.

At any time prior to January 1, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the New Senior Secured Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus a specified premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of New Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.  On or after January 1, 2013, the Company may redeem some or all of the New Senior Secured Notes at any time at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date.

The Indenture for the New Senior Secured Notes contains certain events of default, including (i) failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due; (ii) breach of any covenants which are not cured within a stated cure period; (iii) default under certain other indebtedness; (iv) becoming subject to certain judgments; (v) failure to keep liens or security interests valid; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (vii) impairment of any collateral to the loans; (viii) ceasing to own the casino complex; or (ix) loss of gaming or certain other licenses, or the legal authority to conduct gaming activities.
