DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
All statements other than statements of historical or current facts included in this report on Form 10-Q or incorporated by reference herein, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe” or “continue” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
 
Important factors with respect to any such forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, are further discussed in the Section “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, as such factors may be updated in subsequent SEC filings. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 the effect of significant competition from other gaming operations in the markets in which we operate;
 
 the effects of changes in gaming authority regulations;
 
 the effects of changes in gaming taxes;
 
 the effects of changes in non-gaming regulations;
 
 loss of key personnel;
 
 the impact of inclement weather on our patronage;
 
 the timing and amount of collection of insurance receivables;

 the effects of construction and related disruptions associated with expansion projects at existing facilities;
 
 the effects of increases in energy and fuel prices;

 the effects of increases in construction costs;
 
 general and regional economic conditions;
 
 the effects of limitations imposed by our substantial indebtedness
 
  the outcome of pending litigation; and
 
 political conditions and regulatory uncertainties in the U.S. and international venues in which we operate or are pursuing development opportunities.
 
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
 
Our Internet website is http://www.islecorp.com. We make our filings available free of charge on our Internet website as soon as reasonably practical after we electronically file such reports with, or furnish them to, the SEC.

1. Background and Nature of Operations
 
Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (the “Company” or “Isle of Capri”) was incorporated in Delaware in February 1990. The Company is a leading developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related lodging and entertainment facilities in markets throughout the United States and internationally. The Company wholly owns and operates nine casino gaming facilities in the United States located in Lake Charles, Louisiana; Lula, Biloxi and Natchez, Mississippi; Kansas City and Boonville, Missouri; and Bettendorf, Davenport and Marquette, Iowa. The Company also owns a 57% interest in, and receive management fees for operating two gaming facilities in Black Hawk, Colorado. One of these facilities in Black Hawk, Colorado operates under the name “Isle of Capri” and features the Company’s distinctive tropical island theme. The Company’s international gaming interests include a wholly owned casino in Freeport, Grand Bahama, a two-thirds ownership interest in casinos in Dudley and Wolverhampton, England and a wholly owned casino to be opened in the summer of 2007 in Coventry, England. The Company also wholly owns and operates a pari-mutuel harness racing facility in Pompano Beach, Florida.

On July 31, 2006, the Company closed the sale of Isle-Bossier City and Isle-Vicksburg. The financial position and results of these operations are presented as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets and discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations, respectively, for all periods presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” For further discussion see Note 4.

On June 1, 2006, the Company notified its landlord of its decision to terminate its lease at Isle-Our Lucaya in Freeport, Grand Bahama. In the first fiscal quarter, the Company recorded approximately $2.2 million in lease termination costs in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This charge, included in marketing and administrative expenses, relates to the Company’s planned exit of the Isle-Our Lucaya operation by June 2007.

On May 11, 2005, the Company announced that the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission awarded it a gaming license in Waterloo, Iowa. Construction is underway on a 35,000 square foot single level casino with 1,300 gaming positions, three restaurants, a 200-room hotel and 1,000 parking spaces. The project scope has recently been expanded and will also include a nightclub, a full service spa and a resort pool. The Company expects the property to open in late spring of 2007 at a total cost of $175 million, which reflects an increase of $35.5 million from previously anticipated costs resulting from the expanded scope of the project

In November 2004, voters in the State of Florida amended the state’s constitution to allow the voters of Miami-Dade and Broward counties (Broward County is the location of the Pompano Park Racetrack) to decide whether to approve slot machines in racetracks and jai alai frontons in their respective counties. Broward County voters passed their local referendum and Miami-Dade county voters rejected their referendum in March 2005.

On January 4, 2006, a Florida statute became effective allowing Pompano Park and three other pari-mutuel facilities in Broward County to offer slot machine gaming to patrons at these facilities. Although there are pari-mutuel facilities in numerous other counties in the State of Florida, slot machine gaming is only authorized in Broward County where Pompano Park is located. The Company is constructing a gaming facility including 1,500 slot machines, four restaurants and a feature bar at Pompano Park adjacent to the existing grandstand at a cost of $167.0 million with slot machine gaming anticipated to commence in early calendar year 2007. The statute authorizes the Company to operate up to 1,500 slot machines at Pompano Park 365 days per year, 16 hours per day and requires Pompano Park to pay an annual license fee of $3.0 million and gaming taxes equal to 50% of Pompano Park’s net slot machine revenue plus combined county and city taxes approximating an additional 3.5% on the first $250 million of net slot machine revenue and 5% on net slot machine revenue over $250 million. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation is administering the law and is now implementing rules and regulations for the operation of the slot machines.

1. Background and Nature of Operations (continued)

The Florida District Court of Appeal First District recently affirmed its earlier decision to reverse a lower court decision granting summary judgment in favor of Floridians for a Level Playing Field (FLPF), of which the Company is a member.  Although the Court based its decision on different grounds than its earlier decision, the Court ruled that a trial is necessary to determine whether FLPF failed to obtain the required number of signatures to place the constitutional amendment on the ballot.  However, the Court granted FLPF’s request to certify FLPF’s appeal of the Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. The decision by the Supreme Court whether to accept the appeal at this stage of the litigation is discretionary. The Company believes that this decision is contrary to existing Florida law and if a trial were to be held, that FLPF would prevail on the merits and accordingly the Company is proceeding with the development.  However, if FLPF is ultimately unsuccessful in the litigation, the statewide vote amending the Florida constitution to permit slot machines at pari-mutuels would be invalidated and the Company’s right to operate slot machines at Pompano Park would be eliminated. The Company cannot assure you as to the outcome of this litigation.

On August 18, 2006, the Harrison County Planning Commission approved the Company’s master plan for the previously announced 50-acre development in west Harrison County, Mississippi, which is approximately 20 miles from the Mississippi/Louisiana state border near Interstate 10. Preliminary plans call for the estimated $300 million project to include a single level gaming facility with over 2,000 gaming positions, a 350-room hotel, four restaurants and a complement of additional resort amenities. The project remains in the preliminary planning stages, and is subject to certain significant conditions, including but not limited to the receipt of all necessary licenses, approvals and permits.

The Company continues to pursue the one stand-alone slot machine gaming license in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During the second fiscal quarter of 2007, the Company received master plan approval from the City Planning Commission for its proposed project in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and participated in a suitability hearing before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The proposed project, one of three before the PGCB, includes a $450 million casino to be developed by the Company, a $290 million multi-purpose arena to be funded by the Company and more than $350 million in residential, office and retail development on the site of Mellon Arena to be developed and funded by a third party. The Company expects a licensure decision by late-December 2006.

The Company is postured to expand internationally with a revised agreement in connection with resort developer, Eighth Wonder’s, proposal to build an integrated resort complex on Sentosa Island in Singapore. The revised agreement includes equity ownership in the resort complex by Melco PBL Entertainment, Eighth Wonder and Isle of Capri. Should Eighth Wonder be the successful bidder in the Sentosa Island request for proposal, Isle of Capri’s equity contribution will be $65 million for a 13.8% ownership interest. The Company will also receive a payment equal to 2% of casino gross revenues for a 15-year period. The proposal is one of three bidders for the project with a licensure decision expected in early-December 2006.

Interim Financial Information
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended October 29, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 29, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.
 
Fiscal Year-End
 
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in April. This fiscal year creates more comparability of the Company’s quarterly operations, by generally having an equal number of weeks (13) and weekend days (26) in each fiscal quarter. Periodically, this system necessitates a 53-week year, as occurred in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. Fiscal 2007 commenced on May 1, 2006 and ends on April 29, 2007.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Discontinued operations relate to those of the Colorado Grande casino, located in Cripple Creek, Colorado, the Isle-Vicksburg, which is the Riverboat Gaming Corporation of Mississippi-Vicksburg located in Vicksburg, Mississippi and the Isle-Bossier City, which is the Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Partnership located in Bossier City, Louisiana. The financial position and result of these operations are presented as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2006 and discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations, respectively, for all periods presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144.

In April 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to close the Isle-Our Lucaya facility in Freeport, Grand Bahama. Effective June 1, 2006, the Company notified its landlord of its decision to terminate the lease and the Company intends to cease operations by June 1, 2007 as required by its lease. The Company will continue to report the results of the Isle-Our Lucaya property as continuing operations until a probable sale of this facility is reached or operations are ceased, at which time, these results will be reported as discontinued operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
New Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that a company recognize the impact of a tax position in its financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements, and such impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), to define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Prior to this Statement, there were different definitions of fair value and limited guidance for applying those definitions in GAAP. A single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring fair value, should result in increased consistency and comparability in fair value measurements. The expanded disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities should provide users of financial statements with better information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods with those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements, and such impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)), using the modified prospective method, thus, results for the prior period have not been restated.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company recognized $1.6 million and $3.5 million for stock option expense for the three and six months ended October 29, 2006, respectively, which is included in marketing and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended October 29, 2006. The total income tax benefit recognized was approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended October 29, 2006, respectively. The incremental expense, net of income tax benefit, for stock options decreased diluted earnings per share by $0.04 and $0.09 for the three and six months ended October 29, 2006, respectively. As of October 29, 2006, there was $11.5 million in unrecognized stock compensation costs, related to unvested options, which the Company will expense over the remaining vesting period, approximately 5 years with a weighted average period of 3.8 years.

For periods prior to May 1, 2006, the Company applied the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the Company’s three stock-based employee compensation plans. No stock-based employee compensation expense was reflected in net income related to stock option grants as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognized a tax benefit from the exercise of certain stock options. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had adopted SFAS No. 123(R) for the three and six months ended October 23, 2005.

5. Hurricanes and Related Charges

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Louisiana, which resulted in significant damage to the Company’s facility and its casino barge under construction in Biloxi, Mississippi. On December 26, 2005, the Company, using its existing facility, opened a casino as part of the land-based structure that was not severely damaged by the storm.

On September 22, 2005, Hurricane Rita struck the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas, which caused damage to the casino and hotel facilities in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The property was closed for 16 days as a result but subsequently reopened on October 8, 2005.

On October 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma struck Florida, causing damage to the Company’s Pompano Park racing facility. The Property was closed until December 2, 2005.

The Company has insurance coverage related to damage from the three hurricanes for property damage incurred, property operating costs during the operational downtime of the hurricanes, incremental costs incurred related to hurricane damage and recovery activities and business interruption insurance for lost profits during the period directly related to the hurricanes. The Company believes it will receive proceeds from its insurance carrier related to all four types of losses the Company has sustained, and through October 29, 2006 has received advances of $72.7 million, of which $3.5 million was received in the second fiscal quarter of 2007 and $18.8 was received in the six months ended October 29, 2006. The Company continues to negotiate with its insurers to settle the claim. The timeline for final settlement of the claim is not yet determinable.

During fiscal year 2006, the Company recognized asset impairments and losses of $68.6 million based on assessments of damage at all its locations. During the first fiscal quarter of 2007, the Company recognized an additional $0.5 million based on further assessments. The Company recognized an additional $7.1 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2007. The Company has also incurred out-of-pocket costs directly related to the hurricanes and the property operating costs related to the period of closure caused by the hurricanes, of $62.2 million during fiscal year 2006. The Company has incurred an additional $15.0 million in the fiscal year 2007. The total amount of losses recognized and expenses incurred of $153.5 million has been recorded as “Hurricane related charges, net” and has been offset by $148.7 million, which the Company believes is probable that it will collect from its insurance carriers under its policy coverage. The remaining amount of $4.8 million represents the Company’s deductible portion of its claims, which was recorded during fiscal year 2006. As discussed, the Company has been receiving advances against its insurance claims from the applicable insurance carriers and believes it may ultimately collect more than the $153.5 million of loss recognized in the income statement due to its replacement value coverage for its property damage and the lost profits component of its coverage. Any amounts in excess of the recorded loss will be recognized as gains by the Company when it and the insurance carriers agree to the final amounts to be paid to the Company for the losses sustained.

The Company issued the 9% Senior Subordinated Notes under an indenture between the Company, the subsidiary guarantors and a trustee. The indenture, among other things, limits the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, make restricted payments, use assets as security in other transactions, enter into transactions with affiliates or pay dividends on or repurchase its stock or its restricted subsidiaries’ stock. The Company is also limited in its ability to issue and sell capital stock of its subsidiaries and in its ability to sell assets in excess of specified amounts or merge with or into other companies.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On February 4, 2005, the Company refinanced its senior secured credit facility. The refinanced facility provides for a $400.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on February 4, 2010 and a $250.0 million term loan facility maturing on February 4, 2011 (or February 6, 2012 if the Company elects to refinance its existing 9% Senior Subordinated Notes currently due March 2012). On August 3, 2005, the Company exercised its option for a delayed draw term loan for an additional $50.0 million. The draw was accessed in anticipation of funding the Company’s ongoing development projects. At the Company’s and the lead arranger’s mutual discretion, the Company may increase the revolver and/or term loan, in an aggregate amount up to $200.0 million subject to certain conditions. The term loans are payable in quarterly installments beginning on March 31, 2005 and ending on February 4, 2011 unless extended as described above. The revolving credit facility may bear interest at the Company’s option (1) the higher of 0.5% in excess of the federal funds effective rate or the rate that the bank group announces from time to time as its prime lending rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.75% or (2) a rate tied to a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.75%. The term loan may bear interest at the Company’s option (1) the higher of 0.5% in excess of the federal funds effective rate or the rate that the bank group announces from time to time as its prime lending rate plus an applicable margin of up to 0.75% or (2) a rate tied to a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%.

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% of the unused revolving facility.

The senior secured credit facility provides for certain covenants, including those of a financial nature. The senior secured credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s assets and guaranteed by all of its restricted subsidiaries. As of October 29, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to this facility.

The weighted average effective interest rate of total debt outstanding under the senior secured credit facility at October 29, 2006, was 7.44%.

At October 29, 2006, the Company had $295 million outstanding under the senior secured term loan credit facility and no outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility.
 
Isle-Black Hawk Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 24, 2005, Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C., a joint venture company that owns and operates two casinos in Black Hawk, Colorado, which is owned 57% by Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. and 43% by a subsidiary of Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc., entered into a $240.0 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The credit agreement, which amends and restates the Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C.’s existing credit agreement in its entirety, provides for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility maturing the earlier of October 24, 2010 or such date as the term loan facility is repaid in full and a $190.0 million term loan facility maturing on October 24, 2011. At the Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C.’s and the lead arranger’s mutual discretion, Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C. may increase the size of the revolver and/or term loan facility, in an aggregate amount up to $25.0 million subject to certain conditions. The term loans are payable in quarterly installments beginning on December 30, 2005 and ending on September 30, 2011. The revolving loans may bear interest at the Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C.’s option at (1) the higher of 0.5% in excess of the federal funds effective rate or the rate that the lead arranger announces from time to time as its prime lending rate plus an applicable margin up to 1.25% or (2) a rate tied to a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin up to 2.25%. The term loans may bear interest at the Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C.’s option at (1) the higher of 0.5% in excess of the federal funds effective rate or the rate that the lead arranger announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin of 1.00% or (2) a rate tied to a LIBOR rate

Isle-Black Hawk Senior Secured Credit Facility (continued)

plus an applicable margin of 2.00%. The Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.5% of the unused portion of the revolving facility. The credit agreement is secured by liens on substantially all of the Isle of Capri Black Hawk, L.L.C.’s assets. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants and is non-recourse to the Company.

The Isle-Black Hawk senior secured credit facility as amended provides for certain covenants including those of a financial nature. The Isle-Black Hawk was in compliance with all of the covenants as of October 29, 2006. The Isle-Black Hawk senior secured credit facility is secured by liens on the Isle-Black Hawk’s assets.

The weighted average effective interest rate of total debt outstanding under the Isle-Black Hawk Senior Secured Credit Facility at October 29, 2006, was 6.84%.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
 
The Isle-Black Hawk has interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $80.0 million, or 42.5% of its variable rate term debt, outstanding under the Isle-Black Hawk’s senior secured credit facility as of October 29, 2006. The swap agreements effectively convert portions of its variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis until the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. During the fiscal year 2006 and the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2006, the swaps were not designated as effective hedges. Accordingly, the Company recognized $0.3 million due to the change in the fair value of the instrument during the second fiscal quarter of 2007. The interest rate swap agreements terminate in fiscal 2008.

Isle-Black Hawk Special Assessment BID Bonds
 
In July 1998, the Black Hawk Business Improvement District (the “BID”), issued $2.9 million in 6% bonds due on December 1, 2009. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds were used to fund road and utility improvements in the Special Improvement District 1997-1 (the “SID”), of which the Isle-Black Hawk is a member. The total costs of the improvements amounted to $2.2 million with the excess proceeds being returned to the bondholders by the BID. The Isle-Black Hawk is responsible for 50% of this amount plus interest, which is non-recourse to the Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. In April 2000, the Isle-Black Hawk made the first of twenty semi-annual payments of $0.1 million in the form of special property tax assessments levied on the improvement project. This amount is calculated by amortizing $1.1 million, or 50% of the net bond proceeds, over twenty periods at an interest rate of 6.25%. The difference between the bond rate of 6% and the 6.25% assessed is to cover administrative costs of the BID related to the issuance.
 
Blue Chip Credit Facility
 
Blue Chip PLC has an agreement with the Bank of Scotland to borrow up to £3.8 million ($7.2 million as of October 29, 2006) to fund its casino development program. As of October 29, 2006, £3.6 million ($6.9 million) is outstanding. The term loan is to be repaid in quarterly payments that commenced in July 2005, and is to be repaid in April 2009 should Blue Chip borrow the additional £0.2 million ($0.3 million). If the additional funds are not borrowed, the loan will be repaid in January 2009. The interest rate is either, at Blue Chip’s option, the Bank of Scotland’s base rate or LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. This debt is non-recourse to the Company.

Isle-Bettendorf TIF Bonds
 
As part of the City of Bettendorf Development Agreement dated June 17, 1997, the City of Bettendorf issued $9.5 million in tax incremental financing bonds (“TIF Bonds”), which was used by the Isle-Bettendorf to construct an overpass, parking garage, related site improvements and pay for disruption damages caused by construction of the overpass. To enable financing of the City of Bettendorf’s obligations, the Isle-Bettendorf will pay incremental property taxes on the developed property assessed at a valuation of not less than $32.0 million until the TIF Bonds mature. In the event that the taxes generated by the project and other qualifying developments in the redevelopment district do not fund the repayment of the total TIF Bonds prior to their scheduled maturity, the Isle-Bettendorf will pay the City of Bettendorf $0.25 per person for each person entering the boat until the remaining balance has been repaid.

Rhythm City - Davenport General Obligation Bonds
 
In 2002, the Isle-Davenport (Rhythm City) entered into an agreement with the City of Davenport whereby the City of Davenport has constructed a sky-bridge connecting to the Isle-Davenport’s facility, allowing safer access across the street and railroad tracks. In February 2004, the City of Davenport issued $1.8 million in ten-year general obligation tax-exempt bonds at an average interest rate of 3.1% in connection with the Isle-Davenport’s portion of the cost of the sky-bridge. The Isle-Davenport is required to make annual payments of principal and interest to the City of Davenport to retire the bonds.
 
Lines of Credit
 
As of October 29, 2006, the Company had $360.0 million of availability under its lines of credit and available term debt as compared to $361.2 million at April 30, 2006.

For the interest rate swap agreements in the first fiscal quarter of 2007, the fair value of the estimated interest differential between the applicable future variable rates and the interest rate swap agreement contracts, expressed in present value terms, totaled $22 thousand and is recorded as a current liability. The $13 thousand recorded to other comprehensive income represents the fair value of the swaps, net of the income tax benefit of $9 thousand.

As a result of the operations of the Company’s international subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, a resulting currency translation adjustment is necessary. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s international subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustment recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income.

9. Contingencies  
 
Lady Luck Gaming Corporation (now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and several joint venture partners are defendants in a lawsuit brought by the country of Greece through its Minister of Tourism (now Development) and Finance. The action alleges that the defendants failed to make specified payments in connection with the gaming license bid process for Patras, Greece. The payment the Company is alleged to have been required to make totals approximately 6.5 million Euros (which was approximately $8.3 million as of October 29, 2006 based on published exchange rates). Although it is difficult to determine the damages being sought from the lawsuit, the action may seek damages up to that aggregate amount plus interest from the date of the action. The Athens Civil Court of First Instance granted judgment in the Company’s favor and dismissed the lawsuit, but the Ministry appealed the matter and the appeal was heard before the Athens Appeal Court of First Instance. The Athens Appeal Court issued certified copies of judgments denying the Ministry’s appeal. The Ministry elected to appeal this matter further to the Supreme Court. During October 2005, the Administrative Supreme Court remanded the matter back to the Athens Administrative Appeals Court for a hearing on the merits. The hearing took place during November 2006, and a decision is expected sometime during 2007. The civil matter was set for hearing before the Greek Supreme Court during May 2006; however, prior to the scheduled hearing date, the Greek Supreme Court reset the hearing for January 8, 2007. The hearing remains scheduled for this date, and the Company intends to continue a vigorous and appropriate defense to the claims asserted in this matter.
 
The Company is subject to certain federal, state and local environmental protection, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to businesses generally, and is subject to cleanup requirements at certain of its facilities as a result thereof. The Company has not made, and does not anticipate making, material expenditures, nor does it anticipate incurring delays with respect to environmental remediation or protection. However, in part because the Company’s present and future development sites have, in some cases, been used as manufacturing facilities or other facilities that generate materials that are required to be remediated under environmental laws and regulations, there can be no guarantee that additional pre-existing conditions will not be discovered and that the Company will not experience material liabilities or delays.
 
The Company is subject to various contingencies and litigation matters and has a number of unresolved claims. Although the ultimate liability of these contingencies, this litigation and these claims cannot be determined at this time, the Company believes that they will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company computed basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The Company determined diluted earnings per share for the periods ending October 29, 2006 and October 23, 2005, as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period, after applying the treasury method to determine any incremental shares associated stock options outstanding. Anti-dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation of potential common shares. If the weighted average anti-dilutive shares were included for the three and six months ended October 29, 2006, the impact would have been a reduction of 308,239 shares and 54,040 shares, respectively. If the weighted average anti-dilutive shares were included for the three and six months ended October 23, 2005, the impact would have been a reduction of 281,053 shares and 267,067 shares, respectively.

Executive Overview
 
We are a leading developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related lodging and entertainment facilities in regional markets in the United States and internationally. We continue to investigate developing new locations, purchasing existing operations and expanding our current properties. These activities require capital-intensive investments that have long-term return potential. We have intentionally sought geographic diversity to limit the risks caused by weather, regional economic difficulties, and local gaming authorities and regulations. We currently operate casinos in Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado and Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. We also operate a harness racing track in Florida. Additionally, we have a controlling interest in casino investments in Dudley and Wolverhampton, England.

Operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 include several costs which have significantly increased as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006. These costs include an increase of approximately $4.5 million in property insurance expense over the prior year second quarter, which was allocated across all operating properties. This increase is expected to continue through fiscal 2007. We also recorded approximately $1.6 million of stock compensation expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123(revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)). These costs will also be recurring. We recorded approximately $1.7 million of relocation costs related to moving its corporate headquarters to St. Louis, Missouri. Further office relocation costs will be recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2007 and will end with the completion of the office relocation. The stock compensation expense and office relocation costs are reflected in the Marketing and administrative expense line item.

In Mississippi, our three continuing operations contributed 27.6% of net revenues. Isle-Biloxi’s net revenues were up from the prior year period principally because of the new and upgraded land-based casino and the prior year closure due to Hurricane Katrina. Operating income at the property was also up significantly over the same quarter in fiscal 2006 due to reduced competition in the market. Isle-Natchez experienced decreases in both net revenues and operating income primarily resulting from the reopening of the casinos on the Gulf Coast. Isle-Lula’s net revenues increased slightly. Operating income at the property increased due to more efficient management of expenses.

In Louisiana, the Isle-Lake Charles contributed 16.4% of net revenues. Isle-Lake Charles experienced an increase in net revenues and operating income, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the closure of a competitor in the market and the closure of the Isle-Lake Charles between September 22, 2005 and October 8, 2005.

In Missouri, our two properties contributed 16.5% of net revenues. Isle-Kansas City’s net revenues were down due to a decreased gaming patron count attributable to the completion of competitors expansion projects in the market and increased marketing intensity by competitors. Isle-Boonville’s net revenues and operating income increased due to an increase in marketing efforts and the opening of the new hotel.

In Iowa, our three casinos contributed 19.5% of net revenues. Combined, the our two Quad-City properties and the Isle-Marquette showed a decrease in both net revenues and operating income due to increased competition in the key feeder markets.
 
30


In Colorado, our two Black Hawk casino operations contributed 16.2% of net revenues. The decrease in net revenues was due to the opening of competitors’ upgraded facilities. Operating income decreased primarily due to increased operating costs associated with the expanded facility and marketing expenses associated with the opening of competitors’ expansion projects.

New development expenses increased compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily due to increased expenses related to the pursuit of the casino license in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the second fiscal quarter of 2007 as well as increased costs incurred relating to pursuit of the casino license in Singapore.

The decrease in corporate expenses is primarily due to prior year costs and reserves related to litigation matters and contributions we made in the prior year to Isle team member relief funds from Hurricane Katrina.

Operating results from the Colorado Grande-Cripple Creek, Colorado, Isle-Vicksburg, Mississippi and Isle-Bossier City, Louisiana have been classified as discontinued operations for both periods presented and thus are not included in the Operational Review by state discussed above.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Management identifies critical accounting estimates as:

 those that require the use of assumptions about matters that are inherently and highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made;  
 those estimates where, had we chosen different estimates or assumptions, the resulting differences would have had a material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations; and  
 those estimates that, if they were to change from period to period, likely would result in a material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.  

Based upon management’s discussion of the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, we believe the following accounting estimates involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
At October 29, 2006, we had goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives of $371.1 million, representing 20.3% of total assets. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that may reduce the fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets below their carrying value. We completed our annual impairment test as required under SFAS 142 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and determined that goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired. For properties with goodwill and/or other intangible assets with indefinite lives, this test requires the comparison of the implied fair value of each property to carrying value. The implied fair value includes estimates of future cash flows that are based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and represent our best estimates of the cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. Changes in estimates or application of alternative assumptions and definitions could produce significantly different results.
 
Property and Equipment
 
At October 29, 2006, we had property and equipment of $1,049.5 million, representing 57.4% of total assets. We capitalize the cost of property and equipment. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with our “all properties other capital improvements,” program, as detailed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below, include individual capital expenditures related to the purchase of furniture and equipment and to the upgrade of hotel rooms, restaurants and other areas of our properties. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as our current operating strategy. Future events such as property expansions, new competition and new regulations could result in a change in the manner in which we are using certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment
 
31


using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of property and equipment, we make assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment loss for these assets. Such an impairment loss would be recognized as a non-cash component of operating income.
 
Self-Insurance Liabilities
 
We are self-funded up to a maximum amount per claim for our employee-related health care benefits program, workers’ compensation insurance and general liability insurance. Claims in excess of this maximum are fully insured through a stop-loss insurance policy. We accrue for these liabilities based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. We rely on independent consultants to assist in the determination of estimated accruals. While the total cost of claims incurred depends on future developments, such as increases in health care costs, in our opinion, recorded reserves are adequate to cover payment of future claims.

Insurance Accounting

We initially took an impairment charge of $68.6 million based on assessments of damages at our locations affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Wilma and Rita in fiscal year 2006. During the first and second fiscal quarter of 2007, we recognized an additional $0.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively, based on further assessments. The impairment charge was offset by an insurance receivable for the amount we expect to recover from our insurance carriers. We have also incurred out-of-pocket costs directly related to the hurricanes and the property operating costs related to the period of closure caused by the hurricanes, of $62.2 million during fiscal year 2006. We have incurred an additional $15.0 million in the fiscal 2007. These amounts are included in the “hurricane related charges, net” in the accompanying statements of income. We have insurance coverage related to property damage, incremental costs and property operating expenses we incur due to damage caused by the hurricanes. The “hurricane related charges, net” account also includes the total anticipated recoveries expected from our insurance carriers of $148.7 million related to the impairments recognized related to the damaged property, the incremental costs and property operating expenses that management believes are probable of collection. We have received $72.7 million in advance payments from our insurance carriers through October 29, 2006. When our insurance carriers and we agree on the final amount of the insurance proceeds we are entitled to, we will also record any related gain in this account. Our insurance policies also provide coverage for the loss of profits caused by the storms. Any lost profit recoveries will be recognized when agreed to with the insurance carrier and will be reflected in the related properties’ revenues.

Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
 
We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires that we recognize a current tax asset or liability for the estimated taxes payable or refundable based upon application of the enacted tax rates to taxable income in the current year. Additionally, we are required to recognize a deferred tax liability or asset for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences. Temporary differences occur when differences arise between: (a) the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income for a year and (b) the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in financial statements. SFAS 109 also requires that any deferred tax asset recognized must be reduced by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits that, in our judgment and based upon available evidence, may not be realizable.
  
The deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as the need for a valuation allowance, are evaluated on a quarterly basis and adjusted if necessary. We use forecasted future operating results and consider enacted tax laws and rates in determining if the valuation allowance is sufficient. We operate in multiple taxing jurisdictions and are therefore subject to varying tax laws and potential audits, which could impact our assessments and estimates.

Contingencies
 
We are involved in various legal proceedings and have identified certain loss contingencies. We record liabilities related to these contingencies when it is determined that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. These assessments are based on our knowledge and experience as well as the advice of legal counsel regarding current and past events. Any such estimates are also subject to future events, court rulings, negotiations between the parties and other uncertainties. If an actual loss differs from our estimate, or the actual outcome of any of the legal proceedings differs from expectations, operating results could be impacted.

We routinely face challenges from federal and other tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These challenges include questions regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. We record tax accruals for probable exposures associated with the various filing positions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”
 
Slot Club Awards
 
We reward our slot customers for their loyalty based on the dollar amount of play on slot machines. We accrue for these slot club awards based on an estimate of the value of the outstanding awards utilizing the age and prior history of redemptions. Future events such as a change in our marketing strategy or new competition could result in a change in the value of the awards.

Stock Based Compensation

For periods prior to May 1, 2006, we applied the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for our three stock-based employee compensation plans. No stock-based employee compensation expense was reflected in net income related to stock option grants as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. We recognized a tax benefit from the exercise of certain stock options.

Effective May 1, 2006, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)), using the modified prospective method, thus, results for the prior period have not been restated. The estimate of the fair value of the stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the use of various assumptions, including the historical volatility, the risk free interest rate, estimated expected life of the grants, the estimated dividend yield and estimated rate of forfeitures. As of October 29, 2006, there was $11.5 million in unrecognized stock compensation costs that we will expense over the remaining vesting period, approximately 5.0 years.
 
Results of Operations
 
Our results of operations for the three and six months ended October 29, 2006, reflect the consolidated operations of all of our subsidiaries and include the following properties: the Isle-Lake Charles, the Isle-Biloxi, the Isle-Lula, the Isle-Natchez, the Isle-Kansas City, the Isle-Boonville, the Isle-Bettendorf, the Isle-Marquette, the Rhythm City-Davenport, the Isle-Black Hawk, the Colorado Central Station-Black Hawk, the Isle-Our Lucaya, Pompano Park, the Blue Chip-Dudley and the Blue Chip-Wolverhampton, which was closed on July 30, 2006. For the three and six months ended October 23, 2005, results have been reclassified to reflect Isle-Vicksburg, Isle-Bossier City and Colorado Grande-Cripple Creek as discontinued operations.
 
We believe that our historical results of operations may not be indicative of our future results of operations because of the substantial present and expected future increase in competition for gaming customers in each of our markets, as new gaming facilities open and existing gaming facilities expand or enhance their facilities. We also believe that our operating results are materially affected by declines in the economy and adverse weather.

Three Fiscal Months Ended October 29, 2006 Compared to Three Fiscal Months Ended October 23, 2005
 
Gross revenues for the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2006 were $298.5 million, which included $249.2 million of casino revenue, $13.3 million of room revenue, $3.8 million of pari-mutuel commissions, and $32.2 million of food, beverage and other revenue. This compares to gross revenues for the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005 of $255.1 million, which included $215.5 million of casino revenue, $8.9 million of room revenue, $3.8 million of pari-mutuel commissions and $26.9 million of food, beverage and other revenue.
 
Casino revenue increased by $33.8 million, or 15.7 %, compared to the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005. We saw a large increase in our revenues from Isle-Biloxi principally because of our new and upgraded land-based casino and the prior year closure due to Hurricane Katrina, as well as from the Isle-Lake Charles primarily due to the closure of a competitor in the market and Hurricane Rita. Additionally, Isle-Boonville’s net revenues increased due to an increase in marketing efforts and the opening of the new hotel.
 
33


The increase in revenue from these properties offset reductions in revenue for Isle-Kansas City, our two Black Hawk casinos, and our three casinos in Iowa. These properties faced lower than expected growth in market revenues, increased marketing intensity by competitors, increased competition in the key feeder markets or the opening of competitor-upgraded facilities in those markets.

Room revenue increased $4.4 million, or 49.5%, compared to the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005, primarily resulting from the increased capacity at Isle-Biloxi, the two hotels in Black Hawk and Isle-Boonville. Pari-mutuel commissions earned at Pompano Park in Florida for the fiscal quarter were up slightly. Food, beverage and other revenues increased by $5.2 million, or 19.4%, primarily attributable to an increase at Isle-Biloxi resulting from our new and upgraded land-based casino and the prior year closure due to Hurricane Katrina.
 
Promotional allowances, which are made up of complimentary revenues, cash points and coupons, are rewards that we give our loyal customers to encourage them to continue to patronize our properties. These allowances increased by 22.8% in fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2006, as compared to the prior year quarter, in line with increased revenues. Promotional allowances decreased slightly in proportion to the casino revenue, 22.2% versus 20.9%.  

Casino operating expenses increased $7.9 million, or 23.4% in the quarter ended October 29, 2006 compared to the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005. These expenses are primarily comprised of salaries, wages and benefits and other operating expenses of the casinos. Casino operating expenses increased only slightly or 1.1% in proportion to casino revenue, primarily due to Isle-Biloxi’s operating costs decrease of 4.3% with increased casino revenues of $26.0 million
 
State and local gaming taxes increased $4.4 million or 9.0%, in the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2006 as compared to the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005 due primarily to the increase in gaming revenue. The effective rate for gaming taxes as a percentage of gaming revenue decreased from 22.6% to 21.7% due to a higher ratio of gaming revenues derived from lower rate states.
 
Room expenses increased $0.3 million, or 12.0%, compared to the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005 as a result of increased room capacity due to the opening of the Boonville hotel and the reopening of the Biloxi hotel. These expenses directly relate to the cost of providing hotel rooms. Other costs of the hotels are shared with the casinos and are presented in their respective expense categories.
 
Pari-mutuel operating costs of Pompano Park in Florida decreased 4.0% in the current fiscal quarter as compared to our fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005. Such costs consist primarily of compensation, benefits, purses, simulcast fees and other direct costs of track operations.
 
Food, beverage and other expenses increased $0.9 million, or 13.3% over the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005. These expenses increased due to the increased sales and the upgraded product offerings at all of our properties. These expenses consist primarily of the cost of goods sold, salaries, wages and benefits and other operating expenses of these departments. Food, beverage and other expenses as a percentage of gross food, beverage and other revenues decreased from 24.4% for the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005, to 23.2% for the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2006.
 
Marine and facilities expenses for the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2006 increased $1.8 million, or 12.2%, compared to our fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005. These expenses include salaries, wages and benefits of the marine and facilities departments, operating expenses of the marine crews, insurance, maintenance of public areas, housekeeping and general maintenance of the riverboats and pavilions.
 
Marketing and administrative expenses increased $11.2 million, or 16.4%, compared to our fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005. Marketing expenses include salaries, wages and benefits of the marketing and sales departments, as well as promotions, direct mail, advertising, special events and entertainment. Administrative expenses include administration and human resource department expenses, rent, new development activities, professional fees and property taxes. The increase is primarily related to increased property insurance expense, stock compensation expense, corporate relocation expense and increased marketing spend.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter increased $2.3 million primarily due to new property additions at our Biloxi and two Black Hawk properties.
 
34


Net interest expense for the quarter increased $1.8 million or 10.2% compared with our fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005. This is attributable to the higher interest rates and higher debt balances on our senior secured credit facility partially offset by higher interest income.
  
We expense all developmental costs until we determine that ultimate licensure and operation is deemed probable. At that time, we evaluate the applicable costs and capitalize if appropriate.
 
All of our development plans are subject to obtaining permits, licenses and approvals from appropriate regulatory and other agencies and, in certain circumstances, negotiating acceptable leases. In addition, many of the plans are preliminary, subject to continuing refinement or otherwise subject to change.

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended October 29, 2006 was a benefit of 39.9% compared to a benefit of 43.5% for the three months ended October 23, 2005, which, in each case, includes an unrelated party’s portion of the Colorado Central Station-Black Hawk’s income taxes. The quarter ended October 29, 2006 does not include the gain related to the sale of the Isle-Vicksburg and Isle-Bossier City properties in our continuing operations. That gain is included in discontinued operations. Our effective tax rate from combining continuing and discontinued operations for the quarter ended October 29, 2006 was 48.2% compared to 42.6% for the quarter ended October 23, 2005. For each comparison, the change in effective rate over the comparable prior fiscal period is attributable to the effect of certain expenses related to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), and other permanent items on full-year projected pre-tax income.

Six Fiscal Months Ended October 29, 2006 Compared to Six Fiscal Months Ended October 23, 2005
 
Gross revenues for the fiscal six months ended October 29, 2006 were $630.6 million, which included $526.9 million of casino revenue, $28.0 million of room revenue, $8.8 million of pari-mutuel commissions, and $67.0 million of food, beverage and other revenue. This compares to gross revenues for the six months ended October 23, 2005 of $547.4 million, which included $459.8 million of casino revenue, $19.2 million of room revenue, $9.0 million of pari-mutuel commissions and $59.6 million of food, beverage and other revenue.

Casino revenue increased by $67.1 million, or 14.6 %, compared to the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005. in Our revenues from Isle-Biloxi increased by $57.2 million or 191.1% principally because of our new and upgraded land-based casino and the continuation of limited competition in the Biloxi market and the prior year closure due to Hurricane Katrina. In addition, the Isle-Lake Charles saw an increase of $16.7 million in revenues or 24.4% primarily due to the closure of a competitor in the market and Hurricane Rita. The Isle-Boonville’s revenues increased due to an increase in marketing efforts and the opening of the new hotel. The increase in revenue from these properties offset reductions in revenue for Isle-Kansas City, our two Colorado casinos and our three casinos in Iowa. These properties faced lower than expected growth in market revenues, increased marketing intensity by competitors, increased competition in the key feeder markets or the opening of competitor-upgraded facilities in those markets.

Room revenue increased $8.8 million, or 45.9%, compared to the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005, primarily resulting from the increased capacity at Isle-Biloxi, Black Hawk and Isle-Boonville. Pari-mutuel commissions earned at Pompano Park in Florida for the fiscal six months were down slightly by a total of $(0.2) million, or (1.8)%. Food, beverage and other revenues increased by $7.4 million, or 12.4%, primarily attributable to an increase at Isle-Biloxi resulting from an upgraded product and limited competition in the market.
 
Promotional allowances, which are made up of complimentary revenues, cash points and coupons, are rewards that we give our loyal customers to encourage them to continue to patronize our properties. These allowances increased by 19.5% in fiscal six months ended October 29, 2006, as compared to the prior year period. Promotional allowances remained flat in proportion to the casino revenue at 21.5%.

Casino operating expenses increased $10.2 million, or 13.7% in the fiscal six months ended October 29, 2006 compared to the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005. These expenses are primarily comprised of salaries, wages and benefits and other operating expenses of the casinos. Casino operating expenses, as a percent of casino revenue, remained flat at 16.1%, primarily due to Isle Biloxi’s operating costs decrease of 6.3% with increased casino revenues of $57.2 million offset by higher costs at other properties.
 
35


State and local gaming taxes increased $8.4 million or 8.2%, in the fiscal six months ended October 29, 2006 as compared to the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005 due primarily to the increase in gaming revenue. The rate for taxes as a percentage of gaming revenue decreased from 22.4% to 21.3% due to a higher ration of gaming revenues derived from lower rate states.
 
Room expenses increased $0.4 million, or 8.7%, compared to the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005 as a result of increased room capacity at Biloxi, Boonville and Black Hawk. These expenses directly relate to the cost of providing hotel rooms. Other costs of the hotels are shared with the casinos and are presented in their respective expense categories.
 
Pari-mutuel operating costs of Pompano Park in Florida decreased 3.1% for the fiscal six months ended October 29, 2006 as compared to the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005. Such costs consist primarily of compensation, benefits, purses, simulcast fees and other direct costs of track operations.

These expenses include salaries, wages and benefits of the marine and facilities departments, operating expenses of the marine crews, insurance, maintenance of public areas, housekeeping and general maintenance of the riverboats and pavilions.
 
Marketing and administrative expenses increased $24.3 million, or 17.0%, compared to the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005. Marketing expenses include salaries, wages and benefits of the marketing and sales departments, as well as promotions, direct mail, advertising, special events and entertainment.

Net interest expense for the quarter increased $4.5 million or 13.2% compared with the fiscal six months ended October 23, 2005. This is attributable to the higher interest rates and higher debt balances on our senior secured credit facility partially offset by higher interest income.
  
We expense all developmental costs until we determine that ultimate licensure and operation is deemed probable. At that time, we evaluate the applicable costs and capitalize if appropriate.
 
All of our development plans are subject to obtaining permits, licenses and approvals from appropriate regulatory and other agencies and, in certain circumstances, negotiating acceptable leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At October 29, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $142.5 million compared to $138.9 million at April 30, 2006, the end of our last fiscal year. Of this $3.6 million increase, $3.3 million is a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and is the net result of $8.4 million net used by operating activities, $14.7 million net cash provided by investing activities and $3.0 million net cash used in financing activities. The Company also had $69.0 million of restricted cash as of October 29, 2006 related to proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations held in escrow for a possible tax-free exchange transaction. An exchange transaction would allow us to defer federal income taxes on the gain on the sale. In addition, as of October 29, 2006, we had $360.0 million of capacity under lines of credit and available term debt which consisted of $334.4 million in unused credit capacity under the revolving loan commitment on our senior secured credit facility, $21.6 million of unused credit capacity under the Isle-Black Hawk’s senior secured credit facility (limited to use by the Isle-Black Hawk) and $4.0 million under other lines of credit and available term debt. During the six months ended October 29, 2006, we had net payments on our senior secured credit facility of $1.5 million and the Isle-Black Hawk made net borrowings $2.9 million under the Isle-Black Hawk’s senior secured credit facility. We believe that existing cash, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our lines of credit will be sufficient to support our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future.

Investing Activities
 
We made cash expenditures of $166.1 million for property and equipment during the six months ended October 29, 2006. Included in the $166.1 million was $41.9 million in construction costs related to the Isle-Biloxi casino reconstruction following Hurricane Katrina, which we expect to recover from insurance. The following table reflects expenditures and accruals for property and equipment on major projects approved by the Board of Directors for which we are committed as of October 29, 2006 and projected expenditures for these projects. The amounts in the table do not include any expenditures and accruals prior to the beginning of fiscal 2006.

We have signed a development agreement with the City of Bettendorf pursuant to which we agreed to construct a new 250-room Isle hotel, additional parking, a Kitt’s Kitchen restaurant, and an expansion of the existing buffet. The City of Bettendorf agreed to construct a 50,000 square foot convention center adjacent to our facility, which will be managed by Isle-Bettendorf. The cost of our portion of this project is approximately $45.0 million, and the new hotel is scheduled to open in the late spring of 2007.

In June 2005, we agreed to a $43.0 million project with the City of Davenport in which we are building a 180-room hotel and rooftop restaurant, and the City of Davenport constructing a 500+ space parking ramp and providing funding to realign our casino with the new hotel facility. This project is currently scheduled to open 18-20 months after all permits and approvals are received.

In November 2004, voters in the State of Florida amended the state’s constitution to allow the voters of Miami-Dade and Broward counties (Broward County is the location of the Pompano Park Racetrack) to decide whether to approve slot machines in racetracks and jai alai frontons in their respective counties. Broward County voters passed their local referendum and Miami-Dade county voters rejected their referendum in March 2005.

On January 4, 2006, a Florida Statute became effective allowing Pompano Park and three other pari-mutuel facilities in Broward County to offer slot machine gaming to patrons at these facilities. Although there are pari-mutuel facilities in numerous other counties in the State of Florida, slot machine gaming is only authorized in Broward County where Pompano Park is located. We are constructing a slot machine and entertainment area at Pompano Park adjacent to the existing grandstand at a cost of $167.0 million with slot machine gaming anticipated to commence in early 2007. This represents an increase of approximately $26.5 million compared to previously announced costs as a result of increased insurance, construction costs and additional architectural and engineering fees. The statute authorizes Pompano Park to install and operate up to 1,500 slot machines at its facility 365 days per year, 16 hours per day and requires Pompano Park to pay an annual license fee of $3 million and gaming taxes equal to 50% of Pompano Park’s net slot machine revenue plus combined county and city taxes of approximately an additional 3.5% on the first $250 million of net slot machines revenue and 5% on net slot machine revenue over $250 million. The Florida Division administering the law is now implementing rules and regulations for the operation of the slot machines.

Florida District Court of Appeal First District recently affirmed its earlier decision to reverse a lower court decision granting summary judgment in favor of Floridians for a Level Playing Field (FLPF), of which we are a member.  Although the Court based its decision on different grounds than its earlier decision, the Court ruled that a trial is necessary to determine whether FLPF failed to obtain the required number of signatures to place the constitutional amendment on the ballot.  However, the Court granted FLPF’s request to certify FLPF’s appeal of the Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. The decision by the Supreme Court whether to accept the appeal at this stage of the litigation is discretionary. We believe that this decision is contrary to existing Florida law and if a trial were to be held, that FLPF would prevail on the merits and accordingly we are proceeding with the development.  However, if FLPF is ultimately unsuccessful in the litigation, the statewide vote amending the Florida constitution to permit slot machines at pari-mutuels would be invalidated and our right to operate slot machines at Pompano Park would be eliminated. We cannot assure you as to the outcome of this litigation.

On May 11, 2005, we announced that the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission awarded us a gaming license in Waterloo, Iowa. Construction is underway on a 35,000 square foot single level casino with 1,300 gaming positions, three restaurants, a 200-room hotel and 1,000 parking spaces. The project scope has recently been expanded and will also include a nightclub, a full service spa and a resort pool. The Company expects the property to open in late spring of 2007 at a total cost of $175 million, which reflects an increase of $35.5 million from previously anticipated costs resulting from the expanded scope of the project. As of October 29, 2006, we have spent $28.2 million on this project.

We have postponed our previously announced expansion project in Kansas City, Missouri due to current bridge construction on Interstate 35. When the construction nears completion, we will reconsider this expansion project. As of October 29, 2006, we have spent $1.5 million on this project.

As announced in December 2003, we entered into an agreement to develop and operate an Isle of Capri-themed casino, subject to obtaining a license, in a commercial leisure complex currently under development in Coventry, England. In fiscal year 2005, Isle was granted a gaming license to open the Coventry casino under the current legislation (Gaming Act 1968). Total project costs are estimated to be approximately $62 million. Project costs for the leased space include design, architectural, mechanical and electrical build-out, construction and equipment. As of October 29, 2006, we have spent $40.9 million on the Coventry project and expect to spend the remainder over the next nine months. Completion of the casino at the RICOHTM Arena Coventry is estimated to be in mid-calendar year 2007.

On August 18, 2006, the Harrison County Planning Commission approved our master plan for the previously announced 50-acre development at west Harrison County, Mississippi. Preliminary plans call for the estimated $300 million project to include a single level gaming facility with over 2,000 gaming positions, a 350-room hotel, four restaurants and a complement of additional resort amenities. The project remains in the preliminary planning stages, and is subject to certain significant conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary licenses, approvals and permits. We consider it very probable that this project will receive all the necessary approvals, permits and licenses.

In May 2005, we signed a casino management and related development and option agreements with resort developer Eighth Wonder to manage the casino included in Eighth Wonder’s proposal for a new integrated resort complex in Singapore should Eighth Wonder be selected to develop such complex. During the second quarter of 2007, we announced a revised agreement in connection with resort developer Eighth Wonder’s proposal to build an integrated resort complex on Sentosa Island in Singapore. The proposal is one of three for the project with a licensure decision expected in early-December 2006. The revised agreement includes equity ownership in the resort complex by Melco PBL Entertainment, Eighth Wonder and us. We will own a 13.8 percent interest for an investment of $65 million. Additionally, we will receive a payment equal to 2% of casino gross revenues for a 15-year period. During the fiscal quarter ended October 23, 2005, we paid and expensed a $4.0 million payment to Eighth Wonder pursuant to the terms of these agreements.
  
On October 29, 2004, we loaned $5.0 million to Florida Gaming Corporation (“Florida Gaming”). Interest accrues on the unpaid principal balance of the loan at an annual rate of 6.0% and is paid in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter. The loan is secured by a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Florida Gaming Centers, Inc. (“FGC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Florida Gaming. The entire unpaid principal amount of the loan and unpaid interest thereon is payable on the earlier of (1) the sale of all or any material portion of the assets of, or all or any substantial equity interest in FGC, or (2) December 31, 2008. Concurrently with the loan, Florida Gaming and FGC entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which Florida Gaming and FGC gave us exclusive negotiating rights with respect to the acquisition of all or substantially all of FGC’s Miami jai alai business for a period ending no later than December 31, 2008.  

We signed a joint development agreement with Lemieux Group LP that includes a provision for us to fund a $290 million new multi-purpose arena and pursue a gaming license for 3,000 slot machines in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in our $450 million casino. The new multi-purpose arena and gaming facility are part of a larger billion-dollar effort known as Pittsburgh First to redevelop the Lower Hill and Uptown Districts in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Penguins and a development partner. We has received master plan approval from the City Planning Commission for its proposed project, as well as participated in a suitability hearing before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). This proposal is one of three competing applications under consideration by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for a single license with a decision expected late-December 2006. If the license is granted to the us, we anticipate that the construction of the project would begin shortly thereafter with a temporary casino also a possibility. Due to the uncertainty of the timing of the Gaming Control Board, license grant date, the final design of the gaming facility and the timing of obtaining the necessary permits, we have not included this project in the above table. 

On March 15, 2004, we announced that we had been selected by the Illinois Gaming Board as the successful bidder in a federal bankruptcy court auction for the 10th Illinois gaming license previously issued to Emerald Casinos, Inc. This process was conducted pursuant to an agreement approved by, among other parties, the Illinois Attorney General. We bid $518.0 million to acquire by merger the stock of a company in bankruptcy that owns the license. The plan of reorganization, pursuant to which the merger would be consummated, has been confirmed by the federal bankruptcy court. The merger remains subject to certain conditions, including a finding of suitability and final approval by the Illinois Gaming Board as well as certain other conditions. The entire matter also is the subject of ongoing litigation to which we are not a party. The Illinois Attorney General has raised issues with regard to the appropriateness of the Village of Rosemont as a host community and the Illinois Gaming Board's selection of our bid. In addition, in 2006 the Illinois Gaming Board, based on a recommendation by an administrative law judge following a hearing, revoked the license issued to Emerald on the basis of Emerald’s past conduct (which revocation has been stayed pending the outcome of litigation). For the reasons set forth above, among others, we believe that our ability to obtain the gaming license and open a gaming facility in Rosemont has been subjected to added uncertainty. There can be no assurance that we will ultimately acquire the license.

The other capital improvements at all of our properties consists of numerous capital expenditures related to the purchase of furniture and equipment and the upgrade of hotel rooms, restaurants and other areas of our properties.

We expense all developmental costs until we determine that ultimate licensure and operation is deemed probable. At that time, we evaluate the applicable costs and capitalize if appropriate.

All of our development plans are subject to obtaining permits, licenses and approvals from appropriate regulatory and other agencies and, in certain circumstances, negotiating acceptable leases. In addition, many of the plans are preliminary, subject to continuing refinement or otherwise subject to change.

Financing Activities
 
During the six fiscal months ended October 29, 2006, we used $3.0 million in cash primarily in the following financing activities:
 
 We made net borrowings under the Isle-Black Hawk’s senior secured credit facility of $2.9 million.
 We recognized a tax benefit of stock compensation expense of $0.5 million.
 We received proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.5 million.
 We repurchased 255,721 shares of our common stock at an average price of $21.21 per share for an aggregate of $5.5 million.
 We made net payments on our senior secured credit facility and other debt of $1.5 million.
 We made net payments on other property debt of $0.9 million.  

As of October 29, 2006, we had $360.0 million of capacity under lines of credit and available term debt consisting of $334.4 million in unused credit capacity under the revolving loan commitment on our senior secured credit facility, $21.6 million of unused credit capacity under the Isle-Black Hawk senior secured credit facility (limited to use by the Isle-Black Hawk), and $4.0 million of available credit under other lines of credit. The revolving loan commitment is a variable rate instrument based on, at our option, LIBOR or our lender’s prime rate plus the applicable interest rate spread, and is effective through February 2011. Our lines of credit are also at variable rates based on our lender’s prime rate and are subject to annual renewal. There is no assurance that these sources will in fact provide adequate funding for the expenditures described above or that planned capital investments will be sufficient to allow us to remain competitive in our existing markets.

We are highly leveraged and may be unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms. As a result, limitations on our capital resources could delay or cause us to abandon certain plans for capital improvements at our existing properties and/or development of new properties. We will continue to evaluate our planned capital expenditures at each of our existing locations in light of the operating performance of the facilities at such locations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that a company recognize the impact of a tax position in its financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting FIN 48 on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), to define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Prior to this Statement, there were different definitions of fair value and limited guidance for applying those definitions in GAAP. A single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring fair value, should result in increased consistency and comparability in fair value measurements. The expanded disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities should provide users of financial statements with better information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods with those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting FASB No. 157 on our financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since April 30, 2006.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As of October 29, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 29, 2006.
 
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
 
During the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2006, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
  
Lady Luck Gaming Corporation (now our wholly owned subsidiary) and several joint venture partners are defendants in a lawsuit brought by the country of Greece through its Minister of Tourism (now Development) and Finance. The action alleges that the defendants failed to make specified payments in connection with the gaming license bid process for Patras, Greece. The payment we are alleged to have been required to make aggregates approximately 6.5 million Euros (which was approximately $8.3 million as of October 29, 2006, based on published exchange rates). Although it is difficult to determine the damages being sought from the lawsuit, the action may seek damages up to that aggregate amount plus interest from the date of the action. The Athens Civil Court of First Instance granted judgment in our favor and dismissed the lawsuit, but the Ministry appealed the matter and the appeal was heard before the Athens Appeal Court of First Instance. The Athens Appeal Court issued certified copies of judgments denying the Ministry’s appeal. The Ministry elected to appeal this matter further to the Supreme Court. During October 2005, the Administrative Supreme Court remanded the matter back to the Athens Administrative Appeals Court for a hearing on the merits. The hearing took place during November 2006, and a decision is expected sometime during 2007. The civil matter was set for hearing before the Greek Supreme Court during May 2006; however prior to the scheduled hearing date, the Greek Supreme Court reset the hearing for January 8, 2007. The hearing remains scheduled for this date.

The outcome of this matter is still in doubt and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. We intend to continue a vigorous and appropriate defense to the claims asserted in this matter.
 
We are subject to certain federal, state and local environmental protection, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to businesses generally, and are subject to cleanup requirements at certain of our facilities as a result thereof. We have not made, and do not anticipate making, material expenditures, nor do we anticipate incurring delays with respect to environmental remediation or protection. However, in part because our present and future development sites have, in some cases, been used as manufacturing facilities or other facilities that generate materials that are required to be remediated under environmental laws and regulations, there can be no guarantee that additional pre-existing conditions will not be discovered and that we will not experience material liabilities or delays.
 
We are subject to various contingencies and litigation matters and have a number of unresolved claims. Although the ultimate liability of these contingencies, this litigation and these claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe that they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Set forth below is an update to the risk factor in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 entitled "We are subject to extensive regulation from gaming authorities that could adversely affect us."

The Florida District Court of Appeal First District recently affirmed its earlier decision to reverse a lower court decision granting summary judgment in favor of Floridians for a Level Playing Field (FLPF), of which we are a member.  Although the Court based its decision on different grounds than its earlier decision, the Court ruled that a trial is necessary to determine whether FLPF failed to obtain the required number of signatures to place the constitutional amendment on the ballot.  However, the Court granted FLPF’s request to certify FLPF’s appeal of the Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. The decision by the Supreme Court whether to accept the appeal at this stage of the litigation is discretionary. We believe that this decision is contrary to existing Florida law and if a trial were to be held, that FLPF would prevail on the merits and accordingly we are proceeding with the development.  However, if FLPF is ultimately unsuccessful in the litigation, the statewide vote amending the Florida constitution to permit slot machines at pari-mutuels would be invalidated and our right to operate slot machines at Pompano Park would be eliminated. We cannot assure you as to the outcome of this litigation.

In addition to the foregoing, you should consider each of the factors set forth in our Annual Report, as well as the other information in the Annual Report and this Quarterly Report in evaluating our business and our prospects. The factors described in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
