- Since the beginning of 2004, the Company has
spent approximately 3 million to upgrade the
product mix on the gaming floor, improve the
player tracking system and introduce cashless
gaming machines. These upgrades have increased
the Companys overall depreciation expense. - Management uses points and coupons to attract
customers with the expectation of increasing
gaming revenue. - The Company has not yet decided on the next
phase of expansion, but owns all of the
vacant property adjacent to the casino and is
able to expand once it feels comfortable that
the additional cost of the expansion will improve
net earnings. - The Company has notified the leaseholder of its
rented property in Cripple Creek that it
intends to exercise its 1.3 million purchase
option for the property. - Net operating revenues are down under continued
competitive pressure. The Companys marketing
strategy is tailored to compete by promoting the
Gold Club in which patrons can earn rewards
that can be redeemed for discounted or free
meals, rooms, cash and other prizes. During the
first nine months of 2005, 66.7 of play came
from Gold Club members, compared to 62.7 during
the same period last year. - Net earnings and EBITDA have increased for the
third quarter of 2005. Casino expenses
decreased by 6.4, primarily a result of the
elimination of television advertising and a
reduction in coupon redemption.

- Operational Results
- YTD revenue growth, excluding the effect of
exchange rate fluctuations (USD/RAND), was
12.6. - Overall casino revenues have increased even as
they were negatively impacted by the closure of
the N2 highway for 47 days of the second
quarter due to heavy flooding. Local management
conservatively estimates the loss in revenue in
the 300,000 to 400,000 range. The estimated
impact on net earnings was approximately
200,000. - The full implementation of cashless gaming
impacted revenue growth in the current year as
we went through a phase of customer education
and continuous system upgrades. The impact on
earnings from the additional accumulation of
points and coupons by our players resulted in an
after tax charge of approximately 73K. - In an effort to reduce overall interest charges,
the existing loan with ABSA bank was paid off in
July 2005 with proceeds from a new 9.4 million
loan with Nedbank. A 181K charge was incurred
relating to this early repayment. As a result
of the transaction, for the quarter we lowered
our effective interest rate on outstanding
term loans from 16.9 to a current 9.0. - In the third quarter 2005, Caledon outsourced
its security and upgraded casino related
software. The total impact on earnings for
these transactions was approximately 30K.

- Central City, Colorado
- On December 30, 2004 the company contributed
3.5 million towards its 65 interest in the
proposed 48.7 million Central City project.
The project is planned to include a 60,000 square
foot casino and back of house with 625 slot
machines, six table games, 27 hotel rooms,
retail, food and beverage amenities and a
500-space on-site covered parking garage.
Construction has begun and is expected to be
completed during the third quarter of 2006. - We are in the process of closing on project
financing with Wells Fargo Bank and obtaining
licensing from the Colorado Division of
Gaming. On September 23, 2005, the Company
obtained a letter of commitment from Wells
Fargo Bank to provide approximately 35.0 million
in project financing.

- Edmonton, Canada
- On February 24, 2005, through our wholly owned
subsidiary, Century Resorts International, we
acquired a 56.4 interest in Century Resorts
Alberta, Inc. for approximately 2.4 million
(3.0 million Canadian) in the proposed 26.7
million (31.3 million Canadian) Celebrations
Casino and Hotel Project. The project is
expected to include a casino with 600 gaming
machines, 31 gaming tables, food and beverage
amenities, a dinner theater, a 300 space
underground parking facility, approximately 600
surface parking spaces and a 26-room hotel. - Construction has begun and is expected to take
approximately 14 months from finalization of
funding arrangements. On September 23, 2005,
CRA agreed to the terms of a 20.0 million
Canadian (17.2 million) credit facility with
Canadian Western Bank for the development of the
property.

- Potential Growth Opportunities
- Newcastle, South Africa In June 2005, we
entered into a letter of intent for the purchase
of a 60 controlling interest in Balele
Leisure (Pty) Ltd., which owns the Monte Vista
Casino in Newcastle, South Africa. The
current casino is a temporary facility that has
200 slot machines and seven gaming tables. A
new permanent facility is proposed to be
constructed in 2006. The initial gaming mix in
the permanent facility is expected to be 220
slot machines and nine gaming tables. We are in
the process of completing a definitive
agreement with the sellers of the interest. The
purchase price would be 57.5 million Rand (9.0
million), subject to adjustment (but not to
exceed 60.0 million Rand (9.5 million)) based
primarily on casino revenue in the first 12
months of operation of the new permanent
facility. The agreement will contain
significant conditions to closing, including
gaming and other regulatory approvals. Assuming
that all sellers agree to and approve the
transaction, we would not expect closing to occur
until at least the first quarter of 2006. - In Cripple Creek, having spanned the alley
behind the existing casino, Womacks is positioned
to continue building out the casino on a
single level to the rear of the property to
Meyers Avenue. This could result in Womacks
having the largest casino floor on one level in
Cripple Creek. The Company has not yet decided
on the next phase of expansion, but is in the
position to expand once it feels comfortable that
the additional cost of the expansion will
improve net earnings. - In Caledon, we own over 600 acres of land with
a direct off-ramp from the main Cape Town
Durban highway, giving us tremendous
development opportunities. Building on the
success of the existing casino, hotel,
conference and spa resort, we could accommodate
two 18 hole golf courses, a residential
community, water activities and other
attractions. - Externally, we are always looking for
profitable opportunities. We are not excluding
any well-regulated market worldwide, and, on
an opportunistic basis, continue to pursue these
opportunities, including in the United
Kingdom.
