ITEM 5.                                                     OTHER EVENTS.

 

On June 30, 2003, the United Auburn Indian Community (“UAIC”) completed the $215 million financing for the Thunder Valley Casino located in Placer County, California, near Sacramento.  We will receive a management fee equal to 24% of the casino’s net income.  The financing is through a group of lenders and consists of a $122.5 million revolving credit facility and a $92.5 million term loan.  Prior to the completion of the financing, we had advanced approximately $46.9 million to the UAIC for the development of the casino, which opened on June 9, 2003.  As a result of the completion of the financing, we have been reimbursed approximately $36.8 million for our advances to the UAIC as of June 30, 2003.  We anticipate receiving the remaining $10.1 million during 2003.  In addition, we received approximately $4.8 million of interest on our advances and $4.0 million for a portion of our 2% development fee on the project.  We have provided an unlimited completion guaranty and credit support for all amounts outstanding under the financing.
