  on February&nbsp;23, 2007, the United States District Court for the District of

  Gun Lake
  Tribe Litigation Update
  As previously disclosed,
  on February 23, 2007, the United States District Court for the District of
  Columbia (the "District Court") issued a decision in favor of the Gun Lake
  Tribe ("Gun Lake") and the United States Department of Interior ("DOI") and
  dismissed the lawsuit filed by Michigan Gambling Opposition ("MichGO") against
  the DOI and officials of the DOI.  MichGO's
  complaint sought injunctive and declaratory relief against the DOI as a result
  of the DOI's determination to take certain land into trust for the benefit of
  Gun Lake.  On April 29, 2008, the
  United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the "Court
  of Appeals") affirmed the District Court's dismissal of the lawsuit filed by
  MichGO.  Unless MichGO petitions for a
  rehearing or rehearing en banc of the Court of Appeals' decision or otherwise
  obtains a stay of the Court of Appeals' decision, the DOI will be free to take
  the land into trust, which is necessary for Gun Lake to commence construction
  of its proposed gaming facility in Wayland Township, Michigan.  It is anticipated that MichGO will petition
  for a rehearing or rehearing en banc of the Court of Appeals' decision or file
  a petition for certiorari seeking review of the Court of Appeals' decision by
  the United States Supreme Court.  No
  assurances can be provided as to the outcome of this litigation.  The timing and feasibility of the project are
  dependent upon the receipt of the necessary governmental and regulatory
  approvals.  The Company plans to continue
  contributing significant financial support to the project, even though there
  can be no assurances as to when or if the necessary approvals will be obtained.
