for the first quarter of 2016 compared with approximately 76% for the

General and administrative expenses of $1,328,000 were lower than last

of last year.
Depreciation expense of $1,887,000 was down compared to $2,152,000 last
year.
Interest expense decreased to $229,000 during the quarter as a result of
lower rates and lower outstanding borrowings.
Denis McGlynn, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated: "We point out in our recently filed Annual Report to
Stockholders that our fate remains in the hands of our state
legislature. Recommendations of the legislatively appointed Gaming and
Lottery Study Commission need to be enacted for the health of our
industry and for thousands of employees whose livelihood depends –
directly and indirectly – on having Delaware’s casinos able to compete
effectively in the regional marketplace. It is imperative that we
re-invest in our facilities and amenities. And if we cannot spend the
marketing and promotional dollars that will bring repeat customers into
Delaware, they will go to neighboring jurisdictions. Last year, Senate
Bill 30 did not advance due to unrelated state budget issues. This year,
Senate Bill 183 – which phases in required changes to the revenue
sharing model over the next four years – represents what industry
experts believe to be the best possible strategic and long-term
restructuring model for all stakeholders. It is time for us to enact a
long-term solution and we are working diligently with our state
legislators toward that end.”
