It is also an investor in several unconsolidated affiliates, with operations that include a riverboat casino in Elgin, Illinois, a hotel/casino in Reno, Nevada and a hotel/casino on the Las Vegas Strip. (See Note 5Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.)
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the Detroit joint venture (53.5% owned), which is required to be consolidated. Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned affiliated companies are accounted for under the equity method. The Company views each casino property as an operating segment and all such operating segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"), which addresses consolidation by business enterprises where equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards. These entities are commonly referred to as "special-purpose entities." The provisions of FIN 46 were required to be applied prospectively for all variable-interest entities created after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46 to clarify some of the provisions of the original interpretation and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. The additional guidance explains how to identify variable-interest entities and how an enterprise should assess its interest in an entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. Application of revised FIN 46 is required for public companies with interests in "special-purpose entities" for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application for all other types of variable-interest entities is required in financial statement periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Company does not expect FIN 46 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On a regular basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, self-insurance liabilities, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
At January 31, 2004 and 2003, cash equivalents (consisting principally of money market funds and instruments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less) had a cost approximately equal to market value.
INVENTORIES
Inventories (consisting primarily of food, beverage and retail inventories) are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out and the average cost methods.
7
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the determination of income.
Depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and leasehold interests are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements | 15-45 years | |
Equipment, furniture and fixtures | 3-15 years | |
Leasehold interests and improvements | 5-16 years |
CAPITALIZED INTEREST
The Company capitalizes interest costs associated with debt incurred in connection with major construction projects. When debt is not specifically identified as being incurred in connection with a construction project, the Company capitalizes interest on amounts expended on the project at the Company's average cost of borrowed money. Capitalization of interest ceases when a project is substantially complete or construction activities are no longer underway. The amounts capitalized during the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, were $7.6 million, $13.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets are comprised of goodwill, indefinite-life intangible assets, property and equipment and other assets. Accounting for goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets is discussed in Note 4 and Note 7, respectively. Property and equipment and other assets are reviewed for impairment, on a property by property basis (the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Pursuant to applicable accounting rules, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. If an asset is determined to be impaired based on expected future cash flows, a loss, measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or their estimated net realizable value.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144, which was adopted by the Company in fiscal 2003, supercedes Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), and portions of other accounting statements. The provisions applicable to the Company under SFAS 144 are substantially the same as those under SFAS 121.
Pursuant to SFAS 121, the Company determined that the carrying values of its two Jean properties, Gold Strike and Nevada Landing, exceeded their fair values and, accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $52.0 million in fiscal 2002. The properties' fair values were determined based upon several valuation approaches, including discounted future cash flows and cash flow multiples. The write-down was attributable to a downturn in operating results at these properties over the past few years due to the continued expansion of Native American casinos in California. Of the $52.0 million write-down, $17.9 million represented goodwill.
8
SELF-INSURANCE
The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for workers' compensation and employee medical claims. Self-insurance reserves are estimated based on the Company's claims experience and are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The self-insurance reserves at January 31, 2004 and 2003 were $10.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
TREASURY STOCK
Shares purchased and placed in treasury are valued at cost. Shares are removed from treasury using the first-in, first-out method. Interest charges and other fees related to the Company's equity forward agreements are included in treasury stock, net of the related tax benefit. (See Note 17Equity Forward Agreements.)
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Casino revenue is derived primarily from patrons wagering on slot machines, table games and other gaming activities. Table games typically include Blackjack or Twenty One, Craps, Baccarat and Roulette. Other gaming activities include Keno, Poker and Race and Sports. Casino revenues represent the net difference between the sums received as winnings and the sums paid as losses. Incentives, such as discounts to induce casino play and player club points (discussed more fully below), are deducted from gross casino revenues.
Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other operating revenues are recognized as services are performed. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as accrued liabilities until services are provided to the customer. The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to hotel-casino guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as complimentary allowances.
The estimated cost of providing such complimentary allowances, as they relate to the casino department, was included in casino expenses as follows:

PLAYERS' CLUB POINTS
The Company's players' club allows customers to earn "points" based on the volume of their gaming activity. These points are redeemable for cash rebates and/or certain complimentary services. Expense is accrued (reflected as a reduction of casino revenues) as the points are earned based upon their historical redemption rate multiplied by the cash value or the cost of providing the applicable complimentary services. The amount by which casino revenues were reduced was $29.7 million, $30.0 million and $28.3 million in the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
PREOPENING EXPENSES
Preopening expenses consist principally of direct incremental personnel costs and advertising and marketing expenses. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 98-5, preopening expenses are expensed as incurred.
9
For the year ended January 31, 2004, preopening expenses of $8.2 related primarily to our new all-suites tower, THEhotel at Mandalay Bay that opened in December 2003, and Mandalay Place, the new retail center connecting Mandalay Bay and Luxor that opened in October 2003. For the year ended January 31, 2003, preopening expenses of $4.6 million related primarily to the new convention center at Mandalay Bay that opened in January 2003. For the year ended January 31, 2002, preopening expenses of $2.2 million also related primarily to the new convention center.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share reflects the impact of additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options. Anti-dilutive securities are not included in the computation of earnings per share. The total of all such anti-dilutive securities was immaterial for all periods presented.
The table below reconciles weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share with the weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share. There were no reconciling items for net income.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has various employee stock option plans as more fully described in Note 15Stock Options and Restricted Stock. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") provides that companies may elect to account for employee stock options using a fair value method or continue to apply the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans using the intrinsic value method. Intrinsic value represents the excess, if any, of the
10
market price of the underlying common stock at the grant date over the exercise price of the stock option. Since all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense related to stock options was reflected in net income. Had compensation expense related to stock options been determined in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, the effect on the Company's net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would have been as follows:

The Company has also issued restricted stock pursuant to one of its stock incentive plans. The total value of each restricted stock grant, based upon the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, is initially reported as deferred compensation under stockholders' equity. This deferred compensation is then amortized to compensation expense over the related vesting period.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is a broad concept of an enterprise's financial performance that includes all changes in equity during a period that arise from transactions and economic events from nonowner sources. Comprehensive income is net income plus "other comprehensive income," which consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that do not affect net income under accounting principles generally
11
accepted in the United States. Other comprehensive income for the Company includes adjustments for minimum pension liability and adjustments to interest rate swaps, net of tax.
The accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected on the balance sheet consisted of the following:

RECLASSIFICATIONS
During fiscal 2003, the Company changed its presentation of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, which was previously reported as a component of revenues. The Company now reports equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates as a separate component of income from operations on the consolidated statements of income under a separate caption titled "Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates." Prior years have been reclassified to conform with the new presentation. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported income from operations or net income.
The consolidated financial statements for prior years reflect certain other reclassifications to conform to classifications adopted in the current year. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
During the period covered by these financial statements, the FASB has issued certain pronouncements on accounting policies that the Company has adopted as prescribed. The adoption of these accounting policies did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Note 2. Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to approved casino customers. These receivables are the principal financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the receivables to their estimated collectible amount, which approximates fair value. As of January 31, 2004, management believes that there are no concentrations of credit risk for which an allowance has not been established and recorded. The collectibility of foreign and domestic receivables could be affected by future business or economic conditions or other significant events in the United States or in the countries in which foreign customers reside. Bad debt expense was $2.1 million, $7.2 million and $20.4 million for the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Note 4. Goodwill
On November 1, 1979, the Company purchased the Slots-A-Fun Casino in Las Vegas. The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired amounted to $4.2 million.
On June 1, 1995, the Company completed its acquisition of a group of properties (collectively, the "Gold Strike Properties") consisting of (i) two hotel/casino facilities in Jean, Nevada (see Note 1 regarding an impairment loss at these properties); (ii) a hotel/casino in Henderson, Nevada; (iii) a 50% interest in a joint venture which owns Grand Victoria, a riverboat casino and land-based entertainment complex in Elgin, Illinois; and (iv) a 50% interest in a joint venture which owns Monte Carlo, a major hotel/casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired amounted to $394.5 million.
When the Gold Strike acquisition was consummated, the Company recorded the entire excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired as goodwill. However, the majority of the excess related to the value of the investments in Grand Victoria and Monte Carlo. Since the amount was not assigned to the specific assets (e.g., property and equipment) of the joint ventures, it was properly treated as goodwill. With the adoption of SFAS 142, it was determined that goodwill
13
related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates should be reviewed differently for impairment than other goodwill. Therefore, unamortized goodwill of $309.2 million at January 31, 2002 was reclassified to investment in unconsolidated affiliates. This reclassification had no impact on the Company's reported net income.
On December 14, 1999, the Company purchased an additional ownership interest in a joint venture which operates MotorCity Casino, a casino in Detroit, Michigan, bringing its total ownership interest in the joint venture to 53.5%. The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired amounted to $38.4 million.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 provides that goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will instead be reviewed for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 was adopted by the Company on February 1, 2002.
As of February 1, 2002, the Company had approximately $45.4 million of unamortized goodwill. Most of this total related to the fiscal 2000 purchase of an additional ownership interest in the joint venture which operates MotorCity Casino. In accordance with SFAS 142, each property with assigned goodwill is to be valued as an operating entity. If the fair value of the operating entity is greater than the book value, including assigned goodwill, no further testing is required. However, if the book value, including goodwill, is greater than the fair value of the operating entity, the assets and liabilities of the operating entity need to be valued. The difference between the fair value of the operating entity and the fair value of the assets represents the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the book value of goodwill, an impairment charge must be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle upon adoption.
The Company completed its implementation analysis of the goodwill arising from its prior acquisitions. For purposes of this analysis, the fair value of the operating entities was determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow model and a valuation multiple or, in certain instances, an independent appraisal. Based upon this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.9 million, representing the unamortized goodwill associated with the June 1, 1995 acquisition of the Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino. This charge was reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in fiscal 2003.
The Company completed its annual review of impairment for fiscal 2003, pursuant to which it recorded an impairment loss of $5.4 million, representing the unamortized goodwill associated with the February 1, 1983 acquisition of the Edgewater Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. A decline in income from operations at that property, along with lowered expectations for the Laughlin market, indicated impairment.
The Company has also completed its annual review of impairment for fiscal 2004 and no additional impairments were noted.
14
The Company recorded goodwill amortization of $11.8 million in the year ended January 31, 2002. Had SFAS 142 been in effect for this prior period, the Company would have reported the following:

Note 5. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company has investments in unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share of earnings, losses and distributions of these companies. The investment balance also includes interest capitalized during construction. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates consisted of the following:

$ | 573,306 | $ | 573,345 | ||||
The investment balances for Grand Victoria and Monte Carlo are greater than the carrying values of the net assets of the respective unconsolidated affiliates due primarily to goodwill recognized when the Company acquired the investments. (See Note 4Goodwill.) In July 2002, the Company made an additional equity contribution of $43.5 million to Victoria Partners. These funds, along with an identical equity contribution by the Company's partner, were used to payoff the remaining balance on Monte Carlo's credit facility.
The Company's unconsolidated affiliates operate with fiscal years ending on December 31. Combined summarized balance sheet information of the unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:

Note 6. Other Investments
The Company has adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"), a defined benefit plan pursuant to which the Company pays supplemental pension benefits to certain key employees upon retirement. The SERP is an unfunded plan. However, the Company is informally funding the plan through life insurance contracts on the participants. These life insurance contracts had cash surrender values of $53.7 million and $35.2 million at January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

On August 2, 2002, the Detroit City Council approved a revised development agreement pursuant to which MotorCity Casino will expand its current facility by December 31, 2005. Under the revised development agreement, MotorCity Casino had paid the City of Detroit $39.8 million as of January 31, 2004, and is obligated to pay an additional $4.2 million by May 2004. MotorCity is further obligated, through letters of credit issued by the Company, to fund approximately $49.4 million to repay bonds issued by the Economic Development Corporation of the City of Detroit. The Company recorded an intangible asset of $93.4 million, representing the total of the above obligations. As of January 31, 2004, the remaining unpaid obligation is $53.6 million ($4.2 million current portion). These intangible development costs have an indefinite life. Based on the Company's annual assessment of intangible development costs for fiscal 2004, the Company does not believe that an impairment has occurred or is likely to occur in the near term. (See Note 18Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for additional details regarding the Company's Detroit joint venture.)

The Company incurs discounts, structuring fees and other costs in connection with its issuance of debt and in connection with its credit facilities. Debt issuance costs are capitalized when incurred and amortized to interest expense based on the anticipated debt maturities using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The amortization of debt issuance costs included in interest expense was $9.6 million, $7.6 million and $6.5 million for the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company accounts for its SERP according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" ("SFAS 87"). SFAS 87 requires the recognition of an intangible asset in an amount equal to the additional minimum liability, provided that such intangible asset may not exceed the amount of unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized net obligation. The amount by which the additional minimum liability exceeds unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized net obligation is recorded as a negative component of stockholders' equity through comprehensive income (net of related tax benefits). In fiscal 2004, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which, as revised, requires additional disclosures about assets, obligations, cash flows, estimated future benefit payments and net periodic pension cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. (See Note 14Employee Retirement Plans for additional information regarding the SERP.)

In August 2001, the Company replaced its $1.8 billion unsecured credit facility, dated May 23, 1997, with three separate facilities that totaled $1.25 billion. These credit facilities included a $150 million capital markets term loan facility which was paid in full using a portion of the net proceeds received from the issuance of $300 million of Senior Subordinated Notes in December 2001 (discussed more fully below) and a $250 million term loan facility which was paid in full using the net proceeds from the issuance of $250 million of Senior Notes in November 2003 (discussed more fully below) together with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, thus reducing the borrowing capacity to $850 million under the remaining facility. The remaining credit facility, which is for general corporate purposes, is an $850 million revolving facility, $450 million of which was outstanding at January 31, 2004. The credit facility is unsecured and provides for the payment of interest, at the Company's option, either at a rate equal to or an increment above the higher of the Bank of America, N.A. "prime rate" and the Federal Reserve Board "Federal Funds Rate" plus 50 basis points or, alternatively, at a Eurodollar-based rate. The entire principal amount outstanding under the credit facility becomes due and payable on August 21, 2006, unless the maturity date is extended with the consent of the lenders. While the debt instrument issued under the above credit facility is short term in tenor, it is classified as long-term debt because it is management's intention to continue to replace such borrowings on a rolling basis as various instruments come due and to have such
18
borrowings outstanding for longer than one year. The fair value of the debt issued under the credit facility approximates the carrying value of the debt.
The credit facility includes financial covenants regarding total debt and interest coverage and contains covenants that limit the Company's ability, among other things, to dispose of assets, make distributions on its capital stock, engage in a merger, incur liens and engage in transactions with its affiliates. In December 2001, the Company amended the covenants under each of its credit facilities to provide for more liberal tests for total debt and interest coverage. These amendments were obtained to address the impact of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. In February 2003, the Company again amended the covenants under each of its credit facilities. These amendments modify the definition of "Adjusted EBITDA" with respect to the Company's 53.5% ownership in MotorCity Casino in Detroit, Michigan. As previously defined in the credit facilities, Adjusted EBITDA included only the cash distributions the Company actually received from MotorCity Casino. Under the amended definition, Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company's 53.5% share of the Adjusted EBITDA of MotorCity Casino, whether or not distributed. These amendments also provided for a more liberal test for total debt coverage during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2004. At January 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants in its credit facility and, under the most restrictive loan covenant, was restricted from issuing additional debt in excess of approximately $212 million.
On November 25, 2003, the Company issued $250 million principal amount of 63/8% Senior Notes due December 2011 (the "63/8% Notes"), with interest payable each June and December. The 63/8% Notes are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the Company, in whole, at 100% principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The 63/8% Notes, which were discounted to $248.1 million, are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from this issuance, together with borrowings under the revolving credit facility, were used to repay in full the Company's $250 million term loan facility. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 63/8% Notes was $257.5 million based on their trading price.
On July 31, 2003, the Company issued $250 million principal amount of 61/2% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "61/2% Notes"), with interest payable each January and July. The 61/2% Notes are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the Company, in whole, at 100% principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The 61/2% Notes are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 61/2% Notes was $261.3 million, based on their trading price.
On March 21, 2003, the Company issued $350 million original principal amount of floating-rate convertible senior debentures due 2033 ("convertible debentures"). An additional $50 million original principal amount of the convertible debentures were issued on April 2, 2003, pursuant to an option granted to the initial purchasers. The convertible debentures bear interest at a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR (reset quarterly) plus 0.75%, subject to a maximum rate of 6.75%. The convertible debentures also provide for the payment of contingent interest after March 21, 2008 if the average market price of the convertible debentures reaches a certain threshold.
Such contingent interest is considered an embedded derivative with a nominal value. The convertible debentures provide for an initial base conversion price of $57.30 per share, reflecting a conversion premium of 100% over Mandalay's closing stock price of $28.65 on March 17, 2003. The proceeds of the offering were used to repay borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
Each convertible debenture is convertible into shares of Mandalay's common stock (i) during any calendar quarter beginning after June 30, 2003, if the closing price of Mandalay's common stock is more than 120% of the base conversion price (initially 120% of $57.30, or $68.76) for at least 20 of the last 30 trading days of the preceding calendar quarter; (ii) if a credit rating assigned to the convertible
19
debentures falls below a specified level; (iii) if the Company takes certain corporate actions; or (iv) if the Company calls the convertible debentures for redemption. If the convertible debentures are converted, holders will receive 17.452 shares per convertible debenture, or an aggregate of 7.0 million shares of Mandalay common stock, subject to adjustment of the conversion rate for any stock dividend; any subdivision or combination, or certain reclassifications, of the shares of Mandalay common stock; any distribution to all holders of shares of Mandalay common stock of certain rights to purchase shares of Mandalay common stock for a period expiring within 60 days at less than the sale price per share of Mandalay common stock at the time; any distribution to all holders of shares of Mandalay common stock of Mandalay assets (including shares of capital stock of a subsidiary), debt securities or certain rights to purchase Mandalay securities; or any "extraordinary cash dividend." For this purpose, an extraordinary cash dividend is one the amount of which, together with all other cash dividends paid during the preceding 12-month period, is on a per share basis in excess of the sum of (i) 5% of the sale price of the shares of Mandalay common stock on the day preceding the date of declaration of such dividend and (ii) the quotient of the amount of any contingent cash interest paid on a convertible debenture during such 12-month period divided by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of a convertible debenture at the conversion rate in effect on the payment date of such contingent cash interest. In addition, if at the time of conversion the market price of Mandalay's common stock exceeds the then-applicable base conversion price, holders will receive up to an additional 14.2789 shares of Mandalay's common stock per convertible debenture, as determined pursuant to a specified formula, or up to an additional 5.7 million shares in the aggregate.
The Company may redeem all or some of the convertible debentures for cash at any time on or after March 21, 2008, at their accreted principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At the option of the holders, the Company may be required to repurchase all or some of the convertible debentures on the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th anniversaries of their issuance, at their accreted principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the purchase date. The Company may choose to pay the purchase price in cash, shares of Mandalay common stock or any combination thereof.
On December 20, 2001, the Company issued $300 million principal amount of 93/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2010 (the "93/8% Notes"), with interest payable each February and August. The 93/8% Notes are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the Company, in whole, at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The 93/8% Notes, which were discounted to $297.8 million, are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay borrowings under the Company's credit facilities. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 93/8% Notes was $351.0 million, based on their trading price.
On August 16, 2000, the Company issued $200 million principal amount of 91/2% Senior Notes due August 2008 (the "91/2% Notes"), with interest payable each February and August. The 91/2% Notes are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the Company, in whole, at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The 91/2% Notes are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay borrowings under the Company's credit facility. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 91/2% Notes was $234.0 million, based on their trading price.
On July 24, 2000, the Company issued $500 million principal amount of 101/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due August 2007 (the "101/4% Notes"), with interest payable each February and August. The 101/4% Notes are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the Company, in whole, at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The 101/4% Notes are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to repay borrowings under the Company's credit facility. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 101/4% Notes was $576.3 million, based on their trading price.
20
In November 1998, the Company issued $275 million principal amount of 91/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 2005 (the "91/4% Notes"), with interest payable each June and December. On July 15, 2003, the Company redeemed the 91/4% Notes at a redemption price of 104.625% plus interest accrued to the redemption date. In addition to the premium of $12.7 million, the Company wrote off related unamortized loan fees of $2.6 million, resulting in a total loss of $15.3 million. However, this loss was partially offset by $9.0 million in gains from the sale of related interest rate swaps. This resulted in a net loss on redemption of $6.3 million.
In November 1996, the Company issued $150 million principal amount of 7.0% Debentures due November 2036 (the "7.0% Debentures"). The 7.0% Debentures may be redeemed at the option of the holder in November 2008. Also in November 1996, the Company issued $150 million principal amount of 6.70% Debentures due November 2096 (the "6.70% Debentures"). Of the $150 million principal amount outstanding, $145.6 million principal amount of the 6.70% Debentures were put to us by the holders at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on November 17, 2003. The 7.0% Debentures, which were discounted to $149.8 million, and the 6.70% Debentures, which were discounted to $149.7 million, have interest payable each May and November, are not redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 7.0% Debentures was $160.1 million and the estimated fair value of the 6.70% Debentures was $4.4 million, based on their trading prices.
In February 1996, the Company issued $200 million principal amount of 6.45% Senior Notes due February 1, 2006 (the "6.45% Notes"), with interest payable each February and August. The 6.45% Notes, which were discounted to $199.6 million, are not redeemable prior to maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 6.45% Notes was $208.0 million, based on their trading price.
In July 1993, the Company issued $150 million principal amount of 63/4% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "63/4% Notes") due July 2003 and $150 million principal amount of 75/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures (the "75/8% Debentures") due July 2013, with interest payable each July and January. The 63/4% Notes, which were discounted to $149.8 million, were repaid in July 2003. The 75/8% Debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. As of January 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the 75/8% Debentures was $159.4 million, based on their trading price.
On June 30, 2003, the Company exercised its options under two operating lease agreements relating to equipment located at several of the Company's Nevada properties, and purchased the equipment for a total purchase price of $198.3 million, representing the equipment's estimated fair market value based on independent appraisals. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a new lease agreement pursuant to which the Company assigned a portion of the equipment acquired above to the new lessors and borrowed $145 million. These proceeds, along with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, were used to fund the purchase of the equipment under the operating leases.
The new lease agreement is considered a capital lease for financial reporting purposes, and the Company has recorded an asset and a corresponding liability equal to the fair market value of the assets at inception of the lease. The new lease agreement contains financial covenants regarding total debt and interest coverage that are similar to those under the Company's revolving credit facility. The agreement also contains covenants regarding equipment maintenance, insurance requirements and prohibitions on liens.

Note 10. Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has a policy aimed at managing interest rate risk associated with its current and anticipated future borrowings. Under this policy, the Company may use any combination of interest rate swaps, futures, options, caps and similar instruments. To the extent the Company employs such financial instruments pursuant to this policy, and the instruments qualify for hedge accounting, they are accounted for as hedging instruments. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the underlying hedged item must expose the Company to risks associated with market fluctuations and the financial instrument used must be designated as a hedge and must reduce the Company's exposure to market fluctuation throughout the hedge period. If these criteria are not met, a change in the market value of the financial instrument is recognized as a gain or loss in the period of change. Otherwise, gains and losses are not recognized except to the extent that the financial instrument is disposed of prior to maturity. Net interest paid or received pursuant to the financial instrument is included as interest expense in the period. The Company has entered into various interest rate swaps, principally with its bank group, to manage interest expense.
In February 2003, the Company entered into two "reverse" interest rate swap agreements ("fair value hedges") with members of its bank group. Under one agreement, the Company received a fixed interest rate of 9.25% and paid a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR plus 6.35%) on $275 million notional amount. Under the other, the Company received a fixed rate of 6.45% and paid a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR plus 3.57%) on $200 million notional amount. In May 2003, the Company elected to terminate the $275 million swap and received $2.7 million in cash representing the fair market value of the swap. Since the underlying $275 million Senior Subordinated Notes were called on July 15, 2003, the unamortized portion of this gain (along with the unamortized portion of the gain related to a similar interest rate swap that was terminated in October 2002) was offset against the related loss on early retirement of debt. The total gain thus offset was $9.0 million. Meanwhile, in June 2003, the Company elected to terminate the $200 million swap. The Company received $4.1 million in cash representing the fair market value of the swap, and recorded a corresponding debt premium which is being amortized to interest expense, using an effective interest rate method, over the remaining life of the related debt instrument, which was approximately 21/2 years at the time the swap was terminated.
In July 2003, the Company entered into two "reverse" interest rate swap agreements ("fair value hedges") with members of its bank group. Under one agreement, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 6.5% and pays a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR plus 2.39%, or 3.6% at January 31, 2004) on $200 million notional amount. Under the other, the Company receives a fixed rate of 6.5% and pays a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR plus 2.42%, or 3.6% at January 31, 2004) on $50 million notional amount. These swaps are being used to hedge the Company's $250 million 61/2% Senior Notes due 2009.
22
In December 2003, the Company entered into two "reverse" interest rate swap agreements ("fair value hedges") with members of its bank group. Under one agreement, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 6.375% and pays a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR plus 1.74%, or 3.0% at January 31, 2004) on $125 million notional amount. Under the other, the Company receives a fixed rate of 6.375% and pays a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR plus 1.72%, or 2.9% at January 31, 2004) on $125 million notional amount. These swaps are being used to hedge the Company's $250 million 63/8% Senior Notes due 2011.
The Company had an interest rate swap agreement ("cash flow hedge") of $200 million notional amount, which terminated on September 24, 2003.
The net effect of all the above swaps resulted in a reduction of interest expense of $7.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2004.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. However, the Company considers the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to be minimal because the parties to the swaps are members of the Company's bank group. If the Company had terminated all swaps as of January 31, 2004, the Company would have received a net amount of $1.3 million based on quoted market values from the various financial institutions holding the swaps.
The above swaps meet the criteria for hedge accounting established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which the Company adopted in fiscal 2002. The Company reports its swap related assets and liabilities on a net basis in "Other Long-term Liabilities". The fair market value of the swaps designated as a cash flow hedge (which terminated in September 2003) increased by $7.6 million ($5.6 million, net of tax) during the year ended January 31, 2004, which decreased the net liability, with the corresponding income included as other comprehensive income.
The fair market value of the swaps designated as fair value hedges increased $1.3 million during the year ended January 31, 2004, which decreased the net liability with a corresponding increase in long-term debt.

The Company accounts for its SERP according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." ("SFAS 87") SFAS 87 requires the recognition of a liability if the net periodic pension expense exceeds the amount the employer has contributed to the plan. Since the SERP is a non-qualified retirement plan, the Company does not make contributions and consequently, a liability is recorded for the net periodic pension expense. The resulting accrued SERP liability is reduced by benefit distributions to participants. SFAS 87 also requires an employer to recognize an additional minimum liability for the amount that the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan assets and accrued pension liability. (See Note 14Employee Retirement Plans for additional information regarding the SERP.)

Note 12. Leasing Arrangements
In October 1998, the Company entered into a $200 million operating lease agreement with a group of financial institutions to lease equipment at Mandalay Bay. In December 2001, the Company entered into a series of sale and leaseback agreements covering equipment located at several Nevada properties. These agreements, again made with a group of financial institutions, totaled $130.5 million. The sale of the equipment resulted in the recognition of a net deferred gain of $28.3 million, of which $26.8 million was subsequently reversed when the Company exercised its purchase option on the equipment (see below). The proceeds from these leases were used to reduce borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.
On July 31, 2002, the Company exercised its purchase option under a $12.5 million aircraft lease agreement (part of the $130.5 million lease agreements entered into in December 2001) and on September 30, 2002, the Company exercised its purchase option under a $5.5 million aircraft lease agreement (also part of the $130.5 million lease agreements entered into in December 2001). On June 30, 2003, the Company exercised its purchase options under its remaining operating leases and purchased the equipment for a total purchase price of $198.3 million, representing the equipment's fair market value based upon independent appraisals. The purchase price was financed utilizing the $145 million the Company received under its new capital lease agreement, with the balance being borrowed under the revolving credit facility.
The Company also leases various storage facilities and has various air space under operating leases expiring individually through 2032. A portion of the Circus Circus facility in Reno is built on leased land with various operating leases expiring through 2033. The following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments required as of January 31, 2004 under operating leases that have lease terms in excess of one year:

The Company accounts for income taxes according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, related to net operating loss carryforwards and certain temporary differences. The standard requires recognition of a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied. At January 31, 2004, the Company believes that its deferred tax assets are fully realizable because of the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and projected taxable income in the future. Accordingly, there is no valuation allowance at January 31, 2004.

Note 14. Employee Retirement Plans
Approximately 37% of the Company's employees (excluding unconsolidated affiliates) are covered by union-sponsored, collectively bargained, multi-employer defined benefit pension plans. The Company contributed $13.7 million, $11.0 million and $9.2 million during the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for such plans. These contributions are determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts and generally are based on the number of hours worked.
The Company also has a profit sharing and investment plan covering primarily nonunion employees who are at least 21 years of age and have at least one year of service. The plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The plan allows for investments in the Company's common stock as one of the investment alternatives. The Company's contributions to this plan include "automatic" contributions based on employees' years of service, and "matching" contributions based on employees' contributions. Employees vest in Company contributions over a period of six years. MotorCity Casino also has a profit sharing and investment plan covering primarily union employees. Contributions to
26
both plans are funded with cash and totaled approximately $7.6 million, $7.2 million and $6.3 million in the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
On June 18, 1998, the Company adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). The SERP is a defined benefit plan pursuant to which the Company pays supplemental pension benefits to certain key employees upon retirement based upon the employees' years of service, compensation and SERP tier. The Company uses a measurement date of January 31 for its SERP.
The change in benefit obligation for the SERP was as follows:

Note 15. Stock Options and Restricted Stock
The Company has various stock incentive plans for executive, managerial and supervisory personnel, as well as the Company's outside directors and consultants. All of the plans permit grants of options, and two of the plans also permit the grant of performance shares and restricted stock awards relating to the Company's common stock. As of January 31, 2004, the awards granted pursuant to these plans were stock options, which are generally exercisable in one or more installments beginning not less than six months after the grant date, and restricted stock.

Restricted stock grants of 20,250 shares were issued under the plans during the year ended January 31, 2004. The effect of these grants is to increase the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and decrease the number of shares available for grant in the plan. Deferred compensation is recorded for the restricted stock grants equal to the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. The deferred compensation is amortized over the period the restricted stock vests and is recorded as compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded compensation expense of $156,000 in fiscal 2004.

Note 16. Stock Related Matters
On July 14, 1994, the Company declared a dividend of one common stock purchase right (the "Rights") for each share of common stock outstanding at the close of business on August 15, 1994. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $125, subject to certain antidilution adjustments. The Rights become exercisable ten days after the earlier of an announcement that an individual or group has acquired 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock or the announcement of commencement of a tender offer for 15% or more of the Company's common stock.
In the event the Rights become exercisable, each Right (except the Rights beneficially owned by the acquiring individual or group, which become void) would entitle the holder to purchase, for the exercise price, a number of shares of the Company's common stock having an aggregate current market value equal to two times the exercise price. The Rights expire August 15, 2004, and may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $.01 per Right any time prior to their expiration or the acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's common stock. The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Company's Board of Directors and are intended to cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire control of the Company on terms not approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 75 million shares of $.01 par value preferred stock in one or more series having such respective terms, rights and preferences as are designated by the Board of Directors. No preferred stock has yet been issued.
In June 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 15% of Mandalay's common stock which remained outstanding after a prior share purchase authorization was fully utilized. In March 2003, the Board authorized the purchase of up to an additional 10 million shares of Mandalay's common stock that remain outstanding after the Board of Directors' prior authorization is fully utilized. On March 31, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 3.3 million shares under its equity forward agreements for $100 million (discussed more fully in Note 17). The Company made no additional share purchases during fiscal 2004, and as of January 31, 2004, the number of additional shares the Company is authorized to purchase was approximately 10.3 million. Any share purchases the Company may make in the future pursuant to this authorization will be dependent upon market conditions, and are expected to be made in accordance with the volume and other limitations of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
During the year ended January 31, 2004, the Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock. In fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company purchased 7.5 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $220.9 million and 5.2 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $125.9 million, respectively. These amounts do not include interim settlements or the final settlement under the Company's equity forward agreements, as discussed in Note 17.
Note 17. Equity Forward Agreements
To facilitate its purchase of shares of its common stock, the Company entered into equity forward agreements with Bank of America ("B of A" or "the Bank") providing for the Bank's purchase of up to an agreed amount of the outstanding common stock. Bank of America acquired a total of 6.9 million shares at a total cost of $138.7 million under these agreements. Pursuant to the interim settlement provisions and an amendment to the agreements, the Company received a net of 3.6 million shares and reduced the notional amount of the agreements by $38.7 million as of January 31, 2003. On March 31, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 3.3 million shares from B of A for the notional amount of $100 million. The settlement was funded under the Company's revolving credit facility.
30
The Company incurred quarterly interest charges on the notional amount at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.95%. Total interest charges incurred from inception through March 31, 2003, amounted to $12.3 million, of which $0.7 million was incurred during fiscal 2004. The Company also incurred structuring fees and commissions totaling $3.7 million, none of which were incurred in fiscal 2004. These interest charges and other fees are included in the cost of treasury stock, net of the related tax benefit.
Note 18. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
THEhotel
THEhotel, the new 1,117-all-suites tower at Mandalay Bay, opened in December 2003. The new suites average 750 square feet, among the largest room product in the Las Vegas market. The 43-story tower also includes meeting suites, a spa and fitness center, a lounge and two restaurants, including a rooftop venue "Mix-Las Vegas" created by famed chef Alain Ducasse that will open later this summer. The total cost of the new tower is estimated to be $260 million, excluding land, capitalized interest and preopening expenses. As of January 31, 2004, the Company had incurred costs of $244.1 million related to this project.
Mandalay Place
In October 2003, the Company opened Mandalay Place, a retail center located between Mandalay Bay and Luxor. The center will eventually include approximately 90,000 square feet of retail space and approximately 40 stores and restaurants, including internationally branded retailers like Oilily, GF Ferre, Nike Golf and Urban Outfitters, along with restaurants by celebrity chefs Pierro Selvaggio, Hubert Keller and Rick Moonen. The cost is estimated to be approximately $60 million, excluding land, capitalized interest and preopening expenses. As of January 31, 2004, the Company had incurred costs of $47.9 million related to this project.
Detroit
The Company participates with the Detroit-based Atwater Casino Group in a joint venture that owns and operates a casino in Detroit, Michigan. This joint venture is one of three groups which negotiated casino development agreements with the City of Detroit. The Company has a 53.5% ownership interest in the joint venture.
On August 2, 2002, the Detroit City Council approved a revised development agreement between the joint venture and the City of Detroit (the "Revised Development Agreement"). Under the Revised Development Agreement, MotorCity Casino is to be expanded into a permanent facility at its current location by December 31, 2005. The permanent facility is currently expected to include 100,000 square feet of casino space, a 400-room hotel, a 1,200-seat theater, convention space, and additional restaurants, retail space and parking. Depending upon market conditions, the availability of additional land and the joint venture's ability to obtain reasonable financing, the joint venture could be required to construct an additional 400 rooms. Under the terms of this agreement, the joint venture had paid the City a total of $39.8 million as of January 31, 2004 and is obligated to pay an additional $4.2 million by May 2004. Also, beginning January 1, 2006, the joint venture is to pay the City 1% of its adjusted casino revenues. If its casino revenues top $400 million in any given calendar year, the payment will be increased to 2% for that calendar year.
Originally, the joint venture's permanent facility was to have been located on land along the Detroit River. The City's Economic Development Corporation issued bonds to finance the City's acquisition of that land, and Bank of America issued letters of credit totaling $49.4 million to secure (and ultimately make) the payments of principal and interest on those bonds. Mandalay then issued letters of credit totaling $49.4 million to back Bank of America's letters of credit. The Company will
31
continue to provide such letters of credit. As part of the Revised Development Agreement, the joint venture will forego the right to receive any of the riverfront land acquired by the City, and will transfer to the City its interest in certain real property previously purchased by the joint venture and the other casino developers. Both the joint venture and Mandalay are subject to a radius restriction prohibiting them from operating additional casinos within approximately 150 miles of Detroit, so long as the laws of the state are not amended to permit more than three casinos within the radius. Additionally, the joint venture is required to indemnify the City for up to $20 million in claims against the City in connection with the acquisition of the riverfront land and in connection with the Lac Vieux litigation described below.
The Company has committed to contribute 20% of the costs of the permanent facility in the form of an investment in the joint venture. The joint venture will seek to borrow any additional funds (above Mandalay's equity contribution) which may be necessary to complete the expanded permanent facility. Under the operating agreement, the project costs are to be reviewed every six months. As of January 31, 2004, the Company had contributed 20% of the project costs as most recently determined. The cost of the additional facilities (excluding land, capitalized interest and preopening expenses) is currently estimated to be $275 million. Under the Revised Development Agreement, the Company guaranteed completion of the expanded facility and entered into a keep-well agreement with the City that could require it to contribute additional funds to continue operation of the expanded facility until August 2, 2004. There is no contractual limitation on the amount that the Company may be required to contribute under the completion guarantee or to keep the project operating until August 2, 2004. However, based on the performance of the casino to date, the Company does not expect that these obligations will require the outlay of additional capital.
The joint venture's $150 million credit facility matured June 30, 2003. The Company had guaranteed this credit facility.
Under the terms of the joint venture's operating agreement, Mandalay is to receive a management fee for a period of ten years equal to 1.5% of the cost of the permanent casino facility. The management committee of the joint venture initially determined that Mandalay was entitled to the management fee commencing on the date the Revised Development Agreement was signed, since that agreement provided for the existing facility to become the permanent facility. The management committee ultimately determined that the management fee should not be paid until the permanent casino expansion is completed. As a result, the Company reversed previously accrued management fee income of $1.8 million in the second quarter ended July 31, 2003.
Various lawsuits have been filed in the state and federal courts challenging the constitutionality of the Casino Development Competitive Selection Process Ordinance and the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and seeking to appeal the issuance of a certificate of suitability and casino license to MotorCity Casino. A decision by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians v. The Michigan Gaming Control Board et al. held that the ordinance in its current form was unconstitutional and remanded the case to the District Court. The Michigan Gaming Control Board ("MGCB") took the ruling of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals under advisement without comment. The District Court declared that the ordinance in its current form is unconstitutional and awarded the Lac Vieux Band attorneys fees and costs totaling $545,094, but rejected the Lac Vieux Band's request to require a rebidding of the three casino licenses, and in addition, rejected the Lac Vieux Band's request to enjoin the City of Detroit from entering into revised development agreements with the three casino developers, including MotorCity Casino. The Lac Vieux Band has appealed the District Court's decision to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion granting the Lac Vieux Band's motion for an injunction pending appeal, that temporarily enjoins the City of Detroit from issuing building permits for the permanent casino facilities and temporarily enjoins the casino developers from commencing construction of the permanent casino facilities.
32
The Lac Vieux Band has filed a separate action in the Gogebic County, Michigan, Circuit Court entitled Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians v. Michigan Gaming Control Board, in which the Lac Vieux Band has requested the Circuit Court to enter an order requiring the MGCB to revoke the casino licenses issued to the three Detroit casinos, including MotorCity Casino. The action has been stayed pending resolution by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals of the Lac Vieux Band's appeal of the District Court decision referenced above.
On November 26, 2003, the Company announced that MotorCity Casino had signed a settlement agreement with the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. On April 9, 2004, the District Court approved the settlement. The appeal period has not yet expired and the injunction remains in place. Upon entry of a final order in that case and in the related litigation, MotorCity will pay to the Lac Vieux Tribe $1.5 million, plus attorney's fees. MotorCity will pay an additional $1.5 million approximately 30 days after the first payment. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, MotorCity will pay an additional $5.75 million on the first and second anniversaries of the first payment and $1 million annually for 25 years, beginning on the third anniversary. The occurrence of certain events would suspend, lower and/or terminate the payments. There can be no assurance as to when final resolution will occur with respect to this matter, or what action the courts might take. These payments would satisfy the joint venture's obligations under the indemnity agreement described above with respect to Lac Vieux litigation claims. However, the joint venture would still be liable for claims related to the acquisition of the riverfront land, which potentially are capped at $4 million.
In a separate action, on February 13, 2002, John Ren filed suit in the Circuit Court of Wayne County, Michigan, against the Detroit joint venture and the other two casino operators in Detroit. The plaintiff purports to represent himself and a class consisting of all persons who lost money and/or incurred debts that remain unpaid at any of the three Detroit casinos. Relying on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals' Lac Vieux decision, the plaintiff alleges that the three casinos have been operating illegally and continue to do so. The relief sought by the plaintiff includes an injunction to restrain the three casinos from remaining open until properly licensed; compensatory damages; and disgorgement of all profits "unjustly obtained." The court dismissed this action on the basis that the plaintiff should first seek relief from the MGCB. The plaintiff filed a claim with the MGCB, but has not pursued the claim. The joint venture continues to operate MotorCity Casino.
Any future adverse ruling by the courts in the above lawsuits or in other lawsuits, or any adverse ruling by the MCGB, could affect the joint venture's operation of its current facility, as well as its ability to retain its certificate of suitability and casino license for its expanded permanent facility. No assurance can be given regarding the timing or outcome of any of these proceedings. The joint venture's operation of MotorCity Casino is subject to ongoing regulatory oversight, and its ability to proceed with an expanded hotel/casino project is contingent upon the receipt of all necessary governmental approvals, successful resolution of pending litigation and satisfaction of other conditions.
Other

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Mandalay Resort Group:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mandalay Resort Group and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the 2002 and 2001 financial statements of Elgin Riverboat ResortRiverboat Casino, owner of Grand Victoria Casino, the Company's investment in which is accounted for by use of the equity method. The Company's equity of $249,040,000 in the Grand Victoria Casino's net assets as of January 31, 2003 and of $48,998,000 and $63,564,000 in that entity's net income for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2003 are included in the accompanying financial statements. The 2002 and 2001 financial statements of Grand Victoria Casino were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such entity for 2002 and 2001, is based solely on the report of such other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mandalay Resort Group and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As described in Note 10 and Note 4, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activitiesan Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133", as of February 1, 2001, and adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", as of February 1, 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 AND
FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003
1. BUSINESS
Elgin Riverboat ResortRiverboat Casino (the "Joint Venture"), doing business as the Grand Victoria Casino, was formed in December 1992, as a partnership, under a Joint Venture Agreement between Nevada Landing Partnership and RBG, L.P., in which each partner owns a fifty percent interest.
The Joint Venture is licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board (the "IGB") to own and operate a riverboat casino on the Fox River in Elgin, Illinois. The original license, issued on October 6, 1994, was valid for three years. On October 17, 2000, the IGB approved the renewal of the license for a term of four years.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Casino RevenuesIn accordance with industry practice, the Joint Venture recognizes as casino revenues the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses.
Promotional AllowancesThe retail value of admissions, food and beverage, and other complimentary items furnished to customers without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated costs of providing such promotional allowances have been included in casino expenses as follows:
|
2003 |
2002 |
2001 |
||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Admissions and other | $ | 13,277,760 | $ | 9,639,112 | $ | 9,164,805 | |||
Food and beverage | 12,883,072 | 16,677,766 | 16,666,842 | ||||||
$ | 26,160,832 | $ | 26,316,878 | $ | 25,831,647 | ||||
Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Joint Venture considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Joint Venture maintains cash balances at a financial institution in excess of federally insured limits.
InventoriesInventories, consisting of food and beverage, and gift shop items are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Advertising ExpenseAdvertising expenses are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $5,007,946, $3,334,814 and 5,682,903, respectively.
Property and EquipmentProperty, equipment and improvements are stated at cost. The Joint Venture computes depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings | 39 years | |
Riverboat | 20 years | |
Land improvements | 15 years | |
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment, gaming and computer equipment | 2-7 years |
41
Long-Lived AssetsLong-lived assets are comprised of property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Reserve for Slot Club RedemptionThe Company's player club allows customers to earn "points" based on the volume of their gaming activity. These points are redeemable for certain cash back incentives. The Joint Venture has accrued for the total liability of all points earned, but not redeemed by slot club members, less inactive players. Expenses incurred from actual point redemptions and the change in reserve for slot club redemption are presented as a reduction in casino revenues on the statements of income.
Income TaxesThe financial statements of the Joint Venture do not reflect a provision for income taxes because the partners recognize their proportionate share of the Joint Venture's income in their individual tax returns.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial StatementsThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Gaming and Admission TaxesThe gaming tax payable to the IGB is based on annual graduated rates ranging from 15 percent to 70 percent of adjusted gross receipts (as defined). The maximum gaming tax rate increased from 35 percent to 50 percent in July 2002 and again from 50 percent to 70 percent in July 2003. The current rates for each range of adjusted gross receipts (in millions) are as follows:
Adjusted Gross Receipts |
Rate |
||
---|---|---|---|
$0 - $25 | 15.0 | % | |
$25 - $37.5 | 27.5 | % | |
$37.5 - $50 | 32.5 | % | |
$50 - $75 | 37.5 | % | |
$75 - $100 | 45.0 | % | |
$100 - $250 | 50.0 | % | |
over $250 | 70.0 | % |
The Joint Venture also pays an admission tax to the IGB of $5 per admission.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002 AND 2001
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Gold Strike L.V., a subsidiary of Mandalay Resort Group ("MRG"), and MRGS Corp. (a subsidiary of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated) formed a partnership, Victoria Partners (the "Partnership"), under a joint venture agreement. The purpose of the joint venture was to acquire certain unimproved property for the development and operation of a hotel-casino. The Partnership is doing business under the name Monte Carlo Resort & Casino. The joint venture agreement was signed on December 9, 1994 and provides for an even split of net income or losses from the Partnership, with MRG as managing partner. The casino opened for business on June 21, 1996.
During 1996, Gold Strike L.V. and MRGS Corp. made additional cash capital contributions to the Partnership of $37,000,000 and $21,500,000, respectively. Gold Strike L.V. also paid for certain fixed assets on behalf of the Partnership of $13,600,000.
In 1997, Gold Strike L.V. made an additional capital contribution of $2,100,000 to fund completion of the project.
In 2002, Gold Strike L.V. and MRGS Corp. made cash capital contributions of $43,500,000 each in order to retire the reducing revolving loan facility (see Note 5).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with maturities three months or less at the date of purchase.
Allowance for Doubtful AccountsThe Partnership reserves an estimated amount for receivables that may not be collected. Methodologies for estimating bad debt reserves range from specific reserves to various percentages applied to aged receivables. Historical collection rates and customer relationships are considered in determining specific reserves. Bad debt expense was $911,309, $2,375,718 and $1,934,365 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $267,553, $1,268,198 and $1,300,791 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost, using a first-in, first-out basis or market.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Long-Lived AssetsIn accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Partnership evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the relevant
51
facts and circumstances, the Partnership estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Partnership will recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.
Other AssetsOther assets consist of county license deposits, Internet domain name rights, china, glass, silverware, linen and uniforms.
Income TaxesIncome taxes are not recorded by the Partnership since any income or loss is allocated to the partners and included in their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made and the Partnership has no liability for income taxes.
Deferred Finance ChargesFees paid by the Partnership in obtaining its long-term debt facility were included in other assets and were fully amortized as of December 31, 2001. These charges were amortized over the period of the loan. Amortization relating to these charges of $236,142 was included in interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2001.
Jackpots and PrizesThe Partnership accrues for all progressive slot machine jackpots and other fixed jackpots in excess of $25,000. Fixed jackpot accruals are recorded as a reduction of gaming revenues ratably over the period of play expected to precede payout. Any portion of a jackpot not already accrued is charged to revenue at the time of payout.
Revenue RecognitionCasino revenues are the net difference between the sums received as winnings and the sums paid as losses. Incentives, such as discounts to induce casino play, are deducted from gross revenues. Hotel, food and beverage and other revenues are generally recognized as services are provided to customers.
Complimentary AllowancesRevenues include the retail value of rooms, food and beverage furnished gratuitously to customers. Such amounts are then deducted as complimentary allowances.
The estimated costs of providing such complimentary allowances, as they relate to the casino department, are included in casino expenses as follows for the years ended December 31:
|
2003 |
2002 |
2001 |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rooms | $ | 1,618,978 | $ | 1,798,576 | $ | 1,983,934 | |||

$ | 6,234,862 | $ | 6,733,155 | $ | 7,346,071 | ||||
Player Club PointsThe Partnership's casino player club allows customers to earn "points" based on the volume of their gaming activity. These points are redeemable for certain complimentary services, merchandise and/or cash rebates. In February 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") reached a consensus in EITF Issue No. 00-22, Accounting for "Points" and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future. EITF Issue No. 00-22 requires that the redemption of points for cash be recognized as a reduction of revenue. The Partnership has complied with the requirements of EITF Issue No. 00-22 in the accompanying statements of income.
AdvertisingAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $2,991,413, $4,030,752 and $3,454,222 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsDuring the period covered by these financial statements, the FASB has issued certain pronouncements on accounting policies that the Partnership
52
has adopted as prescribed. The adoption of these accounting policies did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
MRG provides management information system services to the Partnership and directly charges or allocates a portion of its costs to the Partnership. The allocation to the partnership was $991,704 for each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and is included in general and administrative expenses. Additionally, certain management employees of MRG are assigned on a permanent basis to the Partnership. The cost of these employees' salaries paid by MRG is reimbursed by the Partnership.
The Partnership participates with the MRG properties in cross-property marketing efforts through a casino players' club. The players' club's costs to the Partnership are based on actual volume of activity at the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino.
During 2003, the Partnership sold fully depreciated, miscellaneous equipment to entities controlled by MRG for $1,500 and to employees for $1,602. During 2002, the Partnership sold fully depreciated, miscellaneous equipment to entities controlled by MRG for $6,356.

Included in leasehold improvements is the 1996 purchase of the interest in the lease between Fri-Admin ("Carrows") and La Quinta Development Partners ("La Quinta") for approximately $6,000,000. The Partnership subleased the property to Carrows, the former lessee. During 1997, New York-New York Hotel & Casino, LLC ("New York-New York") purchased La Quinta and thereby became the lessor of the property. New York-New York is owned by MGM MIRAGE, the parent company of MRGS Corp. Under the agreement, the Partnership now pays all obligations to New York-New York and is paid a similar amount by Carrows. The lease specifies a term of 10 years through November 2008 at an annual base rent of $73,142 and provides for certain additional rents based upon annual revenues. The lease also provides for an additional five-year renewal option, increasing the annual base rent to $75,000 through November 2013.
5. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
The Partnership had a revolving loan facility with a total commitment of $200,000,000 and a maturity date of April 2, 2002. The interest rate fluctuated based on the Partnership's performance. At December 31, 2001, interest was payable at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") of
53
1.9375% plus a margin of .625%. The weighted-average interest rate as of December 31, 2001 was 2.75%. In 2002, the Partnership requested an extension of the maturity date. On July 5, 2002, the outstanding commitment was retired with funds contributed equally by each partner.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LitigationThe Partnership is party to various litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position or the results of operations.
Loss of Business PaymentOn April 11, 2003, the Partnership entered into an agreement with MRGS Corp. pursuant to which MRGS Corp. agreed to pay the Partnership an amount representing the estimated loss of profits resulting from the temporary closure of the tram connecting the Monte Carlo to the Bellagio (owned by MRGS Corp.). The agreement also provides for a payment to the Partnership if the rental income from leased outlets at Monte Carlo falls below a specified level during the period the tram is closed. The Partnership is recognizing these payments as other revenues ratably over the period the tram is expected to be closed. The Partnership recognized $2,955,912 relating to these payments as other revenues in 2003.
Operating LeasesThe Partnership leases certain equipment under operating leases. Future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more consist of the following at December 31, 2003:
2004 | $ | 227,138 | |

2006 | 14,500 | ||
$ | 468,776 | ||

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To
the Partners of Victoria Partners
dba Monte Carlo Resort & Casino
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of VICTORIA PARTNERS dba MONTE CARLO RESORT & CASINO (a Nevada Partnership, the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of income, changes in partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 (see note 2 regarding change to previously issued financial statements). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Victoria Partners dba Monte Carlo Resort & Casino as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
