SCHEDULE A
Gaming and Tangible Personal Property
1.  
Fair market value in-place and in-use appraisal, dated April 29, 2011 — Value of assets $599,580 as of March 23, 2011 (previously provided to buyer).
2.  
Additions since appraisal, effective date of March 23, 2011 through May 31, 2011 is $50,532.99 (see attached Capital Expenditure Monthly Report as of May 31, 2011 — Exhibit A-1).

EXHIBIT A
Capital Equipment
Appraiser’s Note: The furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) of the Hyatt Grand Lodge Casino, NV 89119, appraised and viewed, appears to be in mainly Good Condition, except as noted, and shows good maintenance and care. While most of the FF&E is older, it has been well maintained (except as noted) and in good repair/condition.
Appraiser’s Note: As a large number of items in this appraisal are electronic (slots, computers, servers, IT systems, printers, televisions, monitors, surveillance equipment, cameras, phone system, etc.) it is important to understand that nearly all electronic-based equipment will tend to be out-dated in a relatively short period of time. While the equipment will still be very useable and perform as intended, the pace of improvements in new equipment is very fast and tends to be less costly than the previous model or generation. Thus, the Fair Market Value (FMV) of many electronics drops sharply after six to twelve months. Electronics that are more than one or two years old are often relatively obsolete, even though their useful life may be many years, and the FMV may only be a small percentage of the original cost.

Item 14 Pic 27-28
  Roulette Tables       Good quality tables       N/A   Good   Two tables. Includes roulette wheel and electronic read out.   $ 17,000  
 
Appraiser’s Note: These roulette tables are older but of good quality. If the casino operation were to be sold there would be an expense to change the layouts to reflect the new ownership name, possibly $200 - $300 per table. An electronic ‘board’ can cost $18,000.
 
Item 15 Pic 29-30
  Automatic Shufflers   ShuffleMaster           N/A   Good   Seven @ $5500. Up to 10 decks handled   $ 38,500  
 
Appraiser’s Note: ShuffleMaster is the preferred shuffler in the industry. For many years the company would not sell its products but required them to be leased. Several years ago the company was selling their products. However, unless the casino has a qualified technician a service contract with ShuffleMaster would probably be necessary. The market is very tight on used ShuffleMaster shufflers.

Appraiser’s Note: The following items, Item numbers 107 through 131, are all surveillance equipment. It should be noted that this is a FMV In-Place In-Use Appraisal and therefore the items have a value when considered within the scope of this appraisal. Most of the surveillance equipment was purchased used. However, based on the age, condition and removal challenges, these items would have a much lesser value if offered for sale in Fair Market Value offering. Much of th e existing equipment can be purchased new, with current technology, at less than what the purchase price used was (example: Vicon PTZ [pan, tilt zoom camera] is advertised currently new at $1556.00, the used price was $2100).

  Cheques       High Quality       Older   Fair to Good   Approximately 35,000   $ 31,500  
 
             
Appraiser’s Note: Casino cheques can be generic or ‘branded’. The cheques of this casino are branded and high quality. The appraiser was not able to find a manufacturer who could duplicate this style and quality of cheques. A high quality cheque (Paulson) costs 90 to 95 cents each. If THIS casino were to be sold and operate under a new name the value of the existing cheques would be minimal, as they would necessarily need to be replaced. Nevada Gaming Law requires a casino that is no longer going to use a cheque, or cheques, to advertise to the public that it will redeem outstanding cheques. The company must allow a reasonable time and have reserves to honor cheque redemption. Thus, if THIS casino were to be sold or operated under another name, the value of the cheques would be ZERO, and, of course, the new operator would have to purchase new cheques. If the casino was to change owners and/or operators the existing cheques may, or may not, have a collectable value at some point in time.

Appraiser’s Note: The following items from Item 162 to 196 are slot machines. Slot machines are of various models. Each company determines the games available and has patent rights to their games. Used slots are readily available at reasonable prices for older models. Newer models are available and, depending upon their popularity, are priced accordingly. IGT’s GameKing has remained a very popular model for many years and still holds its value well even if it as much as 10 years old. The national economy has had a very negative effect on the Gaming Industry and gaming companies have curtailed new purchases dramatically. Some of the pictures attached to this appraisal are of very similar models listed but may not be from the Grand Lodge Casino and are meant to give the reader a reliable example of the model listed. Values include slot stands when applicable.

Appraiser’s Note: The appraiser would like to re-emphasize that this is a Fair Market Value In-Place In-Use valuation as opposed to a Fair Market Value appraisal. This is especially important regarding the values established for the slot machines. There is a real additional value for a piece of equipment that is in-place and in-use as opposed to having that same item placed on the market for sale. In this case there is currently a ‘glut’ of slot machines on the market. Thus, if these items were to be offered for sale NOT in-place and in-use the values would be substantially less, perhaps 25% to as much as 50% less (on older and/or ‘dated’ machines/electronics) than the Fair Market Value In-Place In-Use values.

Appraiser’s Note: Electronic and IT equipment ‘ages’ very fast. New technology often makes six-month old equipment ‘the previous generation’ and may even make items obsolete within a short time. There is a current ‘glut’ of IT hardware. PCs and Laptops are currently available at the lowest prices ever and have advanced technology included.
     
*  
This estimate assumes all items receive periodic maintenance according to instructions of original manufacturing companies (or their successors) and by use of replacement components (new, used, remanufactured, or reverse-engineered) available either from those companies or from alternative suppliers in the aftermarket.
