This report presents an analysis of the site, an overview of the economic climate of the region, analysis of the potential market support for the casino component of the planned project, estimated gaming revenue for the first ten years of operation, and certain supplemental analyses. In accordance with the terms of our engagement we did not ascertain the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to this project including any federal, state or local regulations. No effort has been made to determine the possible effect on the planned project of future federal, state or local legislation. Further, no effort has been made to determine the possible effect of any environmental or ecological matters or energy shortages. Our conclusions are based on information developed from research of the market, knowledge of the industry and meetings with representatives of the project team during which we were provided with significant information. The sources of information and bases of the estimates and assumptions are stated in the body of this report. This information and supporting documentation was assumed to be accurate and no attempt at independent verification was made. We have no responsibility to update this report for events and circumstances occurring after the report date, shown below. The gaming revenue projections and supplemental analyses presented in this report are based on estimates and assumptions developed in connection with our market study. However, some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur; therefore, actual results achieved during the period covered by our analysis will vary from our projections and the variations may be material. Further, we are not responsible for future marketing efforts and other management actions upon which actual results will depend. Our report and gaming revenue projections are intended for your use in obtaining a gaming license from the State of New York. The report may also be used in support of financing efforts. However, if you wish to make references to or use excerpts from our report in any private placement memorandum or offering document, we will require the opportunity to review any such reference or excerpt in advance.
