For the year, the Company recorded income from Mohegan Sun of $30.9 million, compared to $27.4 million and $23.6 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

One&Only

In the quarter, the Company announced that its luxury resort hotels would be operated and marketed under the One&Only brand as part of its previously announced re-branding efforts resulting from the Company's name change in June 2002.

In the quarter, the Company earned fees of $4.5 million from its luxury resort operations as compared to $2.7 million in the same period last year. The current quarter included development fees of $1.5 million relating mainly to the redevelopment of the One&Only Le Touessrok. For the year, the Company earned fees from its luxury resort operations of $8.8 million, compared to $8.0 million for the same period last year. These results exclude results from operations of the Ocean Club, which are still included in the discussion of Paradise Island.

Butch Kerzner commented, "Historically each of our unique hotels in the luxury resorts category operated somewhat independently, without a unified consumer brand. We believed there was a great opportunity to leverage our collection of outstanding properties by bringing them together under a single consumer brand. The new name, One&Only, is descriptive of who we are and reflects what our properties are all about. What we do well is to offer our customers unique experiences. Each of our resort hotels is different and has its own personality; there are no pre-determined formulas. When a customer visits us in the Maldives, Mauritius, Dubai, or The Bahamas, we provide an experience that has real local flavor, something different, a new experience. The customer wants this special, one of a kind experience particularly when traveling for leisure. This became the inspiration for our new One&Only name and we are very excited about the prospects of expanding this business and building this new consumer brand."

The Company intends aggressively to expand this business segment. In this regard, it has previously announced new management contracts that are either signed or are at advanced stages of discussion in the Maldives, Mexico, Morocco Morocco, country, Africa

    (1) Recurring net income (loss) is defined as net income before
        extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt, net
        loss from online gaming operations, the Company's share of
        losses relating to remediation costs at Harborside at
        Atlantis, gain on settlement of territorial and other
        disputes, restructuring (costs) reversal, loss on Atlantic
        City land sales, non-recurring interest expense, pre-opening
        expenses and gain on real estate sales from Ocean Club
        Estates. Management presents recurring net income (loss) to
        assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company.
        This information should not be considered as an alternative to
        any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting
        principles generally accepted in the United States, nor should
        it be considered as an indicator of the overall financial
        performance of the Company.

    (2) For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded an
        extraordinary loss, which arose from the early extinguishment
        of debt.

    (3) Kerzner Interactive represents the net loss of the Company's
        online gaming subsidiary.

    (4) The Company recorded a loss for its share of remediation costs
        required to re-open Harborside. This loss has not been reduced
        by any anticipated insurance recovery, but Harborside has
        filed a claim with its insurers, which is presently under
        negotiation.

    (5) Gain on settlement of territorial and other disputes with
        Kersaf.

    (6) Restructuring costs represent a provision for severance costs
        made in 2001 as a result of the termination of employees
        following the September 11 terrorist attacks. In 2002, the
        unused portion of this provision was reversed.

    (7) The Company recorded the termination of interest rate swap
        agreements in 2001 as non-recurring interest expense.

    (8) Pre-opening expenses in 2001 related to Kerzner Interactive
        and Ocean Club Golf Course.

    (9) Gain on real estate sales in 2001 represents income earned
        from the sale of lots at Ocean Club Estates.
