~~During 2012 and 2013, Mulvane will perform additional infrastructure improvements that will benefit the~~ Kansas Star site. During the construction period of the additional infrastructure improvements, Mulvane will issue additional temporary notes, the proceeds of which will be used to pay for the construction costs of the improvements. Upon completion of the improvements, these temporary notes will be redeemed with proceeds from the issuance by Mulvane of additional 15 year general obligation bonds. As of March 31, 2012, Mulvane has not issued any temporary notes related to these additional infrastructure improvements; however, it is anticipated that Mulvane will issue an additional $5.2 million in temporary notes during 2012 and 2013 to fund these additional infrastructure improvements. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has issued $5.2 million in letters of credit in favor of Mulvane to secure the future issuances of temporary notes related to these additional infrastructure improvements. The amount of the currently outstanding letters of credit supporting the construction of these additional utilities improvements will be reduced to an amount equal to three times the annual special assessment tax imposed on KSC upon completion of these additional improvements and issuance of the additional general obligation bonds.Developments

The Kansas Star is being developed in two phases. KSC began casino gaming operations on December 20, 2011 in its interim facility. Amenities currently include 1,411 slots machines, 35 table games and 5 poker tables. Completion of the remainder of the first phase of the project is expected to occur no later than January 2013 and is expected to include 1,829 slot machines, 45 table games, 10 poker tables, 150 hotel rooms in a third party operated hotel, approximately 2,800 parking spaces, a buffet, steakhouse, deli, a casino bar as well as a poker themed bar, and renovation of the 162,000 square foot indoor event center (which currently houses our interim operations).

The second phase of the project is expected to include 171 additional slot machines (thus expanding the total to 2,000 slot machines), the development of an equine complex for events and shows that includes multiple arenas and barn facilities, parking for recreational vehicles, and 150 additional hotel rooms (bringing the total to 300 rooms). The second phase is scheduled for completion by January 2015.

The current budget for the Kansas Star project is approximately $329 million (excluding capitalized interest which is estimated to be approximately $6 million). Total cost to open the interim casino was $179 million including approximately $15 million for publicly-owned utilities that are being financed by the City of Mulvane, Kansas (“Mulvane”) as described below. The remaining cost for the first phase of the project is expected to be approximately $102 million, including approximately $19 million to complete the initial 150 hotel rooms of the third party financed and developed hotel and $5 million of additional publicly-owned utilities being financed by Mulvane as discussed further below. The second phase of the Kansas Star project is budgeted at $48 million, which includes approximately $19 million for the expansion to the third party hotel from 150 to 300 rooms.

On March 7, 2011, KSC entered into a Development Agreement with Mulvane (“Mulvane Development Agreement”) related to the provision of water, sewer, and electrical utilities to the Kansas Star site. This agreement sets forth certain parameters governing the use of public financing for the provision of such utilities, through the issuance of general obligation bonds by Mulvane, paid for through the imposition of a special tax assessment on the Kansas Star site payable over 15 years in an amount equal to Mulvane’s full obligations under the general obligation bonds. The total cost of sewer and water utilities improvements being financed by Mulvane are expected to be approximately $19.5 million, which includes the second phase of improvements to Mulvane’s waste water treatment plant and a new water tower.

During the first quarter 2012, Mulvane completed various infrastructure improvements that were needed to support the Kansas Star development. The costs to design, construct and finance these improvements were financed with proceeds from temporary notes issued by Mulvane. In March 2012, these temporary notes were redeemed with proceeds from the issuance of $14.4 million of Mulvane general obligation bonds. KSC’s special tax assessment related to these bonds is approximately $1.2 million annually. Payments under the special tax assessment are secured by an irrevocable letter of credit of $3.6 million issued by the Company in favor of Mulvane.

During 2012 and 2013, Mulvane will perform additional infrastructure improvements that will benefit the Kansas Star site. During the construction period of the additional infrastructure improvements, Mulvane will issue additional temporary notes, the proceeds of which will be used to pay for the construction costs of the improvements. Upon completion of the improvements, these temporary notes will be redeemed with proceeds from the issuance by Mulvane of additional 15 year general obligation bonds. As of June 30, 2012, Mulvane has not issued any temporary notes related to these additional infrastructure improvements; however, it is anticipated that Mulvane will issue an additional $5.2 million in temporary notes during 2012 and 2013 to fund these additional infrastructure improvements. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has issued $5.2 million in letters of credit in favor of Mulvane to secure the future issuances of temporary notes related to these additional infrastructure improvements. The amount of the currently outstanding letters of credit supporting the construction of these additional utilities improvements will be reduced to an amount equal to three times the annual special assessment tax imposed on KSC upon completion of these additional improvements and issuance of the additional general obligation bonds.

Obligation Under Assessment Arrangements— Under the Mulvane Development Agreement, KSC is obligated to pay for certain infrastructure improvements constructed by Mulvane ultimately through the imposition of a special tax assessment on the Kansas Star site payable over 15 years in an amount equal to Mulvane’s obligations under the general obligation bonds. On March 29, 2012, Mulvane issued $14.4 million of general obligation bonds as discussed in Note 1. The special tax assessment related to these general obligation bonds is approximately $1.2 million per year paid semi-annually in May and December of each year with the first payment due in December 2012. In addition, KSC is obligated to reimburse Mulvane for any construction costs incurred for which temporary notes have not yet been issued. At June 30, 2012, Mulvane had incurred $2.6 million of construction costs related to the second phase of the infrastructure improvements for which temporary notes had not yet been issued. At June 30, 2012 KSC has recorded an obligation of $17.1 million of which $13.2 million is included in Obligation under assessment arrangements within long-term liabilities and $3.9 million is included in Other accrued expenses within current liabilities.

In addition, at June 30, 2012, under the Minimum Assessment Agreement, dated October 1, 2007, among DJL, the City of Dubuque, Iowa (the “City”) and the City Assessor of the City of Dubuque (the “Minimum Assessment Agreement”), in which DJL and the City agreed to a minimum taxable value related to DJL’s new casino of $57.9 million, DJL has recorded an obligation of $20.5 million of which $18.6 million is included in Obligation under assessment arrangements within long-term liabilities and $1.9 million is included in Other accrued expenses within current liabilities.

Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”)— On January 19, 2012, KSC contributed $1.0 million in cash to KSC Lodging, L.C. (“KSC Lodging”) in exchange for an additional 22% equity interest in KSC Lodging (bringing KSC’s total equity interest in KSC Lodging to 56%) in accordance with an executed agreement under which KSC Lodging has agreed to finance, construct, own and operate the 300 room hotel at the Kansas Star. The Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary and thus the VIE is not consolidated into the financial statements of the Company but, rather, is recorded as an equity investment. At June 30, 2012 the $1.0 million equity investment is included in Deposits and other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets that relate to KSC’s variable interests in KSC Lodging and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its agreements with KSC Lodging at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates involve the fair value of DJW’s investment in $22.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2007 (“City Bonds”), the periodic review of the carrying value of assets for impairment, the estimated useful lives for depreciable assets, and the estimated liabilities for slot club awards.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards—In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the guidance regarding fair value measurement and disclosure. The amended guidance clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2012 with no material impact to the Company's financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended requirements for the presentation of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), requiring presentation of comprehensive income in either a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or on separate but consecutive statements, the statement of operations and the statement of OCI. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2012 and has elected to present comprehensive income in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income. The new guidance was applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and only impacted the presentation of OCI on the financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB amended the guidance regarding testing of goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance provides entities with the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would still be required, otherwise no further analysis is required. The Company adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2012 with no material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

PGL Notes

The Company’s 8 3⁄8% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “PGL Secured Notes”) and 10 3⁄4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2017 (the “PGL Unsecured Notes” and, together with the PGL Secured Notes, the “PGL Notes”) are guaranteed on a senior secured basis and senior unsecured basis, respectively, by DJL, EVD, DJW, ABC and KSC (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The PGL Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured by a security interest in the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ respective existing and future assets (other than certain excluded assets) and by a limited recourse pledge of 100% of the equity interests of PGL by PGP. The security interest on the collateral that secures the PGL Secured Notes and the related guarantees are subject to the prior liens of the PGL Credit Facility. The PGL Unsecured Notes are effectively subordinated to the PGL Credit Facility, the PGL Secured Notes and other secured indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness. PGL has no significant independent assets or operations and the guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors are full and unconditional and joint and several.

The indentures governing the PGL Notes limit the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to, among other things, incur more debt, pay dividends or make other distributions to PGP, redeem stock, make certain investments, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, and transfer or sell assets.

The PGL Notes and the PGL Credit Facility do not limit the Company’s ability to transfer assets between the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. Under the indentures governing the PGL Notes, the Company is allowed, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth therein, to make payments and distributions to PGP, including in respect of (i) certain consulting and financial advisory services, (ii) board fees and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by members of the board of managers of PGP, and (iii) tax, accounting, licensure, legal and administrative costs and expenses of PGP. In addition, the Company may pay dividends or make other distributions to PGP, in addition to the distributions above, if the combined interest coverage ratio of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors is not less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the immediately preceding four full fiscal quarters and subject to certain aggregate net income and cash proceeds received from the sale of equity interest limits. The Company may also pay dividends or make other distributions with Specified Equity Contributions (as defined in the indentures governing the PGL Notes). Substantially all of the Company’s net assets were restricted from distribution to PGP under the PGL Notes and the PGL Credit Facility, subject to the above exceptions and including amounts allowed for certain investments and other restricted payments.

PGL Credit Facility

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012, the Company had no outstanding advances under its $50.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “PGL Credit Facility”). In addition, as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012, the Company had outstanding letters of credit under the PGL Credit Facility of $ 2110.78 million resulting in available borrowings thereunder of $ 28.3 million. In April 2012, a portion of the outstanding letters of credit under the PGL Credit Facility related to the Mulvane infrastructure improvements, as discussed further in Note 1, were reduced resulting in outstanding letters of credit under the PGL Credit Facility and available borrowings thereunder of $10.8 million and $39.2 million~~, respectively~~.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). ~~The~~At June 30, 2012, the Company had one financial instruments that must be measured at fair value in the financial statements, an investment available for sale and at December 31, 2011, the Company had two financial instruments that must be measured at fair value in the financial statements, an investment available for sale and an investment in a money market. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes these inputs into three broad levels. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2-Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs); and

Level 3-Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s estimate about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

11The Company had no Level 1 financial instruments at June 30, 2012 and had one Level 1 financial instrument at December 31, 2011. The Company held an investment in a money market whose fair value equaled its carrying value of $18.6 million at December 31, 2011.

The Company had no Level 12 financial instruments at ~~March~~June 3130, 2012 and ~~had one Level 1 financial instrument at~~ December 31, 2011. ~~The Company held an investment in a money market whose fair value equaled its carrying value of $18.6 million at December 31, 2011.~~

The Company had noone Level 23 financial ~~instruments~~instrument at ~~March~~June 3130, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company had one Level 3 financial instrument at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

DJW holds an investment in a single municipal bond issuance that is classified as available for sale and is recorded at fair value. DJW is the only holder of this instrument and there is no quoted market price for this instrument. The estimate of the fair value of such investment was determined using a combination of current market rates and estimates of market conditions for instruments with similar terms, maturities, and degrees of risk and an estimate from an independent source of what market participants would use in pricing the bonds. Unrealized gains and losses on this instrument resulting from changes in the fair value of the instrument are not charged to earnings, but rather are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the member’s deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets. The discount associated with this investment is netted with the investment on the balance sheets and is being accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of such discount is included in interest income on the statements of comprehensive income (loss).

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial asset that is required to be measured at fair value as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which is classified as “Investment available for sale” in the balance sheets ($0.3 million is classified in Prepaid and other assets at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011) (in thousands):

We are exposed to price valuation risk on our Level 3 financial instruments due to changes in the municipal bond market, interest rates, and the stability of the overall market. We have estimated our Level 3 unobservable inputs risk exposure using sensitivity analysis and have defined our valuation risk exposure as the potential overstatement or understatement of the DJW investment available for sale asset with respect to changes in market conditions that may affect pricing assuming a hypothetical change in price of 100 basis points. Assuming price was to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the estimated impact on all Level 3 financial instruments would result in the fair value of the recorded investment available for sale and other comprehensive income (loss) to increase or decrease by approximately $0.2 million at June 30, 2012.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

(1) We opened the Kansas Star interim facility on December 20, 2011.

(2) Segment operating earnings is defined as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expense, affiliate management fees, merger-related expenses, loss on disposal of assets, loss from equity affiliate, and interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, less interest income, gain on disposal of assets and gain on settlement.

(3) “Gain on settlement” relates to a gain on a financial settlement with the predecessor owner of ABC during the ~~three~~first ~~months~~quarter ~~ended~~of ~~March 31,~~ 2011 and is included in Other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to three months ended March 31, 2011

Consolidated net revenues increased $54.4 million, or 68%, to $134.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $80.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 driven primarily by the opening of the Kansas Star in December 2011. Consolidated net revenues on a same store basis increased $4.1 million, or 5%, to $84.5 million. DJL, DJW, and EVD reported net revenue growth of 5%, 11%, and 5%, respectively, during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. Net revenue increases at each of these properties was driven primarily by increases in casino revenues at each of our properties. ABC’s net revenue decreased 4% over the prior year period due primarily to a one-time $0.7 million gain on a financial settlement with the predecessor owner of ABC during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net revenues at KSC for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $50.3 million.

Casino revenues increased $55.2 million, or 73%, to $130.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $75.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 driven primarily by the opening of the Kansas Star in December 2011. Casino revenues on a same store basis increased $5.1 million, or 7%, to $80.7 million. In Iowa, we continue to see strong growth as DJW’s casino revenues increased by $2.5 million, or 12%, to $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 while DJL’s casino revenues increased by $1.0 million, or 6%, to $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our Iowa properties continued to benefit from a strong agricultural economy in the region, which we believe helped drive an increase in spend per trip at both of our Iowa properties, as well as favorable weather during the quarter. In addition, DJL increased its share of the Dubuque, Iowa market by 220 basis points over the prior period to 55.7%. In Louisiana, both properties experienced quarter over quarter growth as EVD’s casino revenues increased by $1.5 million, or 6%, to $26.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due primarily to an increase in spend per trip by our guests. ABC’s casino revenues increased by $0.2 million, or 1%, to $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Casino revenues at KSC for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $50.0 million.

Casino operating expenses increased 67% to $51.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $30.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Casino expenses on a same store basis increased $2.3 million, or 7%, to $33.2 million due primarily to an increase in gaming taxes as a result of an increase in casino revenues. Casino expenses at KSC for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $18.5 million.

Promotional allowances as a percentage of casino revenues on a same store basis were essentially flat quarter over quarter at approximately 12% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Promotional allowances as a percentage of casino revenues at KSC was 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Racing revenues at EVD decreased 8% to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease is driven entirely by the closure of our New Iberia OTB in January 2012. EVD was able to capture some of that lost revenue at its St. Martinville OTB which increased its racing revenues by $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Consistent with racing revenues, racing expenses decreased $0.2 million quarter over quarter.

Video poker revenues and related expenses at EVD increased $0.1 million each for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Food and beverage revenues increased 31% to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Food and beverage revenues on a same store basis increased $0.5 million, or 8%, to $7.0 million due primarily to an increase in comped beverage revenue at our Louisiana properties as we continue to provide better service to our guests. Consistent with the increase in revenues, food and beverage expenses on a same store basis increased 5% to $4.3 million. Food and beverage revenues and expenses at KSC for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Other revenues decreased $0.1 million to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Other revenues on a same store basis decreased $0.6 million to $3.1 million due primarily to a $0.7 million gain at ABC on a financial settlement with the predecessor owner during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as discussed above offset by a $0.1 million increase at DJW due primarily to an increase in fuel sales related to fuel prices at its convenience store. Other expenses on a same store basis increased approximately $0.1 million over the prior year period due primarily to a $0.1 million increase in fuel costs consistent with the increase in fuel sales at DJW’s convenience store. Other revenues and expenses at KSC for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 35% to $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses on a same store basis increased $1.0 million, or 7%, to $15.1 million due primarily to a $0.6 million increase at PGL in payroll and travel related expenses due in part to additional corporate travel to the new Kansas Star property to assist in operations during the opening months of the property. Selling, general and administrative expenses at KSC for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $4.0 million.

Depreciation and amortization increased 44% to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Depreciation and amortization on a same store basis decreased $0.6 million, or 8%, to $6.6 million due primarily to slot machines purchased during the opening of DJL’s land based facility becoming fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 2011. Depreciation expense at KSC for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $3.8 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended June 30, 2011

Consolidated net revenues increased $103.0 million, or 62%, to $267.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $164.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 driven primarily by the opening of the Kansas Star in December 2011. Consolidated net revenues on a same store basis increased $7.5 million, or 5%, to $172.4 million. DJL, DJW, and EVD reported net revenue growth of 3%, 7%, and 3%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net revenue increases at each of these properties was driven primarily by increases in casino revenues at each of those properties. ABC’s net revenue increased 5% over the prior year period due primarily to a 9% year over year increase in casino revenues offset, in part, by a $0.7 million gain on a financial settlement with the predecessor owner of ABC during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net revenues at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $95.5 million.

Casino revenues increased $104.8 million, or 69%, to $257.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $152.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 driven primarily by the opening of the Kansas Star in December 2011. Casino revenues on a same store basis increased $8.7 million, or 6%, to $161.2 million. In Iowa, we continue to see steady growth as DJW’s casino revenues increased by $3.2 million, or 7%, to $46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $43.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 while DJL’s casino revenues increased by $1.3 million, or 4%, to $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $33.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Our Iowa properties continued to benefit from a strong agricultural economy in the region, which we believe helped drive an increase in spend per trip at DJW, as well as favorable weather during the first quarter of 2012. In addition, DJL increased its share of the Dubuque, Iowa market by 140 basis points over the prior period to 54.3%. In Louisiana, both properties experienced period over period growth. EVD’s casino revenues increased by $2.0 million, or 4%, to $51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due primarily to an increase in spend per trip by our guests. ABC’s casino revenues increased by $2.3 million, or 9%, to $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The majority of this increase came during the second quarter where casino revenues increased $2.1 million as a result of enhanced marketing and direct mail efforts at ABC as discussed above. Casino revenues at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $96.1 million.

Casino operating expenses increased 64% to $102.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $62.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Casino expenses on a same store basis increased $4.1 million, or 7%, to $66.2 million due primarily to an increase in gaming taxes as a result of an increase in casino revenues as well as enhanced database mailings and offers. Casino expenses at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $35.9 million.

Promotional allowances as a percentage of casino revenues on a same store basis were essentially flat at approximately 13% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Promotional allowances as a percentage of casino revenues at KSC was 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Racing revenues at EVD decreased 6% to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease is driven entirely by the closure of our New Iberia OTB in January 2012. EVD was able to capture some of that lost revenue at its St. Martinville OTB which increased its racing revenues by $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Consistent with racing revenues, racing expenses decreased $0.4 million quarter over quarter.

Video poker revenues increased by 7% to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 while video poker expenses remained substantially unchanged at $2.3 million for the same periods.

Food and beverage revenues increased 27% to $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Food and beverage revenues on a same store basis increased $0.9 million, or 7%, to $14.3 million due primarily to an increase in comped beverage revenue at our Louisiana properties as we continue to focus on improved service to our guests. Food and beverage expenses on a same store basis increased 3% to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Food and beverage revenues and expenses at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $2.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Other revenues increased $0.3 million to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Other revenues on a same store basis decreased $0.7 million to $6.8 million due primarily to a $0.7 million gain at ABC on a financial settlement with the predecessor owner during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as discussed above. Other expenses on a same store basis increased approximately $0.2 million over the prior year period. Other revenues and expenses at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 34% to $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses on a same store basis increased $1.7 million, or 6%, to $30.2 million due primarily to a $0.7 million increase at PGL in payroll and travel related expenses due in part to additional corporate travel to the new Kansas Star property to assist in operations during the opening months of the property. Selling, general and administrative expenses at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $8.0 million.

Depreciation and amortization increased 44% to $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Depreciation and amortization on a same store basis decreased $1.4 million, or 10%, to $13.0 million due primarily to slot machines purchased during the opening of DJL’s land based facility becoming fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 2011. Depreciation expense at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $7.8 million.

Affiliate management fees were $4.8 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and relate to management fees paid or accrued to related parties under various management services and consulting agreements at EVD, DJW, ABC and KSC with the increase primarily related to the addition of operations at KSC. Upon consummation of the Merger it is expected that the existing management agreements will be terminated in connection with the change in corporate ownership.

Merger-related expenses of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 relate to legal and other professional fees incurred associated with the Merger as described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pre-opening expenses of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 relate to start-up costs for the development project at KSC and consist primarily of pre-opening professional services fees, regulatory costs and payroll.

Segment operating earnings margins at DJL, DJW and EVD for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were consistent with the six months ended June 30, 2011. ABC saw an increase in margins of 230 basis points as a result of the 9% increase in casino revenues. Segment operating earnings margin at KSC for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 52.1%.

Other expense, net of interest income, increased $2.4 million to $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to the timing of the Company’s additional financing activities in February 2011 to support the Kansas Star development project including the $80.0 million PGL Secured Notes tack-on issuance and the $50.0 million PGL Unsecured Notes tack-on issuance as well as interest expense associated with the KSC Term Loan and slot financing at KSC during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Our operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our Iowa operations are typically weaker from November through February as a result of adverse weather conditions, and are typically stronger from March through October. Our Louisiana horse racing operations are also subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our horse racing operations are usually stronger during live racing season, which generally runs from April through December. We do not expect to see significant seasonal fluctuations in our Kansas operations. In general, our payroll and general and administrative expenses are affected by inflation. Although inflation has not had a material effect on our business to date, we could experience more significant effects of inflation in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Our cash balance decreased $21.13 million to $4746.09 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2012 from $68.12 million at December 31, 2011.

Cash flows from operating activities were $1962.19 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2012, compared to ~~a negative~~ $316.48 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011. The increase in cash flows from operating activities is due primarily to an increase in cash flows from operations at KSC of $2651.38 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 offset by a decrease in operating cash flows at PGL due to $5.7 million of additional interest ~~expense~~paid related to the timing of the issuance of the tack-on notes in the first quarter of 2011~~. Cash~~ ~~flows~~and ~~from~~merger-related ~~operating~~expenses ~~activities~~paid ~~during the first quarter are impacted by the timing~~ of ~~our semi-annual interest payments on our senior notes for which the Company made a~~ $321.52 million ~~payment~~during ~~and a $26.8 million payment (net of accrued interest received upon~~ the ~~issuance~~six ofmonths ~~the~~ended ~~tack-on~~June ~~notes) in February 2012 and 2011~~30, ~~respectively~~2012.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $28.9 million consisting primarily of (i) payments of $25.0 million related to the Kansas Star development project, (ii) a $1.0 million investment in KSC Lodging as discussed in note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and (iii) outflows of $2.5 million primarily related to the acquisition of slot machines and slot machine conversions and general maintenance capital expenditures. General maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures that relate to the replacement of or major renewals and improvements to our existing fixed assets. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Examples of general maintenance capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2012, excluding slot machines and slot machine conversions, include improvements to our existing owned and leased buildings and improvements and the replacement of computer equipment.23

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no outstanding advances under the PGL Credit Facility. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding letters of credit under the PGL Credit Facility of approximately $10.8 million resulting in available borrowings thereunder of $39.2 million.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities may have several important effects on our future operations and are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no significant changes to our financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 other than the Company repaid all outstanding advances under the term loans at DJL and KSC during the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2012 and other than that as previously disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

General

In addition to our cash on hand, we currently have the following sources of funds for our business: (i) cash flows from operations and (ii) available borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility. Contractual restrictions and other provisions contained in the agreements governing our consolidated indebtedness, including the PGL Credit Facility and the indentures governing the PGL Notes, limit or restrict our ability to use the funds available to us through, among other things, limitations on capital expenditures, investments, and distributions. We do not anticipate these restrictions will have an impact on our ability to meet our cash obligations.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012, capital expenditures for the next 12 months, exclusive of the Kansas Star development project are expected to be approximately $~~5.5~~7 million including payments to a third party related to contingent development payments in an amount equal to 1% of KSC’s segment operating earnings. Capital expenditures and pre-opening costs related to the Kansas Star development for the next twelve months are expected to be $~~55.0~~48 million (excluding any capitalized interest, ~~capital expenditures to be financed with anticipated slot vendor financing by the Company~~ and anticipated financing of the hotel and certain off-site utilities by third parties).

The Company’s debt maturities for the next 12 months are expected to be approximately $2111.6 million, which is comprised of (i) $19.9 million which is currently recorded in the Company’s financial statements at March 31, 2012 and (ii) an additional $1.7 million related to anticipated slot vendor financing at KSC of $7.2 million ~~in the fourth quarter 2012~~. During the next 12 months, the Company anticipates making member distributions to PGP through the date of the Merger of approximately $6.3 million for the following items: (i) certain consulting and financial advisory services related to PGP development expenses, (ii) board fees and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by members of the Board of Managers in their capacity as board members, and (iii) tax, accounting, licensure, legal, and administrative costs and expenses of PGP. The Company may make additional member distributions to PGP during 2012 related to the redemption of profits interests held by senior management, depending upon the determination of the Board that certain conditions precedent have been satisfied.

We plan to finance the foregoing expected cash requirements with: (i) a portion of the available cash on hand (excluding amounts needed for normal operations); (ii) cash generated from operations; and (iii) if necessary, available borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility. There can be no assurances that such projects will be completed in the estimated time frames or at the estimated costs.

Based on our cash on hand, expected cash flows from operations and our available sources of financing, we believe we will have adequate liquidity to (i) satisfy our current operating needs at each of our gaming properties, (ii) pay all development costs associated with the Kansas Star development as they become due, and (iii) to service our outstanding indebtedness for the next 12 months.

Pursuant to the acquisition of PGL and its operating subsidiaries by Boyd, as discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, Boyd is expected to refinance our existing senior indebtedness at the time of the Merger. If the Merger is consummated, it is likely that the Company will incur costs related to the early retirement of debt.

Our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations including, but not limited to, the following: (i) a significant portion of our cash flow from operations will be required to pay interest on our indebtedness and the indebtedness of our subsidiaries; (ii) the financial covenants contained in the agreements governing such indebtedness will require us to meet certain financial tests and may limit our respective abilities to borrow additional funds or to transfer funds to PGP or dispose of assets; (iii) our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired; and (iv) our ability to adapt to changes in the gaming or horse racing industries that affect the markets in which we operate could be limited.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

A table of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2011 was included in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations other than the Merger Agreement, as discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2012.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

Other than as described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we do not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, cash flows, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We periodically evaluate our policies and the estimates and assumptions related to these policies.

22Understanding our critical accounting policies and related risks is important in evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. The critical accounting policies used in preparation of the Company’s financial statements involve a significant use of management judgment on matters that are inherently uncertain and are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. If actual results differ significantly from management’s estimates, there could be a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Management regularly discusses the identification and development of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Managers. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks inherent in our financial instruments that arise from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge market risk. We also do not hold market risk sensitive financial instruments for trading purposes.

We are exposed to interest rate risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to our long-term variable interest rate debt borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the PGL Credit Facility. We have estimated our market risk exposure using sensitivity analysis and have defined our market risk exposure as the potential loss in future earnings and cash flows with respect to interest rate exposure of our market risk sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical increase in market rates of interest of 100 basis points. Assuming we borrow the maximum amount allowed under the PGL Credit Facility (currently an aggregate amount of $50.0 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2012) and if market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase by 100 basis points, the estimated additional annual interest expense would be approximately $0.5 million.

We are also exposed to fair value risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to our long-term fixed interest rate investment available for sale, note receivable and debt borrowings. Our fixed rate investment available for sale is recorded at fair value, and therefore, is directly impacted by changes in interest rates and market risks. Our fixed rate note receivable and fixed rate debt instruments are not generally affected by a change in the market rates of interest, and therefore, such changes generally do not have an impact on future earnings. However, future earnings and cash flows may be impacted by changes in interest rates related to a refinancing of our note receivable and future indebtedness incurred to fund repayments as such fixed rate debt matures. The following table contains information relating to our fixed rate investment available for sale, note receivable, obligation under assessment arrangements, and debt borrowings as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

___________________

(1) Our investment available for sale is not traded. The estimate of the fair value of such investment was determined using a combination of current market rates and estimates of market conditions for instruments with similar terms, maturities, and degrees of risk and an estimate from an independent source of what market participants would use in pricing the bonds. Due to the illiquid nature of the investment, changes in market risks could have a significant impact on the fair value.

(2) Represents fair value as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012 based on current market interest rates and estimates of market conditions for instruments with similar terms, maturities, and degrees of risk.

(3) Such borrowings are made under variable interest rates. The interest rate listed is as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the ~~Securities~~ Exchange Act, and in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2012, in providing assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and in providing reasonable assurance that the information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the ~~Security~~Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

During the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2012, there have been no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are parties to any pending legal proceedings other than litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that adverse determinations in any or all such litigation would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
