|(1) | Lakes anticipates that it will require additional capital
    through public or private financings or the sale of some or all
    of Lakes shares of WPTE to meet the remaining casino
    development commitments. See table below detailing tribal casino
    development commitments.

|(2) | For the Pokagon Casino project, the Company has agreed to
    provide additional financing from its own funds if financing at
    an interest rate not to exceed 13% is not available from third
    parties. If this occurs and Lakes is required to provide all
    financing, this would be an additional commitment of up to
    approximately $54 million. Currently, it appears that third
    party financing will be available for this project. However,
    there can be no assurance that third party financing will be
    available and that Lakes will not be required to provide this
    additional financing. The Company will be obligated to pay an
    amount to an unrelated third party once the Pokagon Casino is
    open and Lakes is the manager of the casino. The amount is
    payable quarterly for five years and is only payable if Lakes is
    the manager of the casino. The payment is part of a settlement
    and release agreement associated with Lakes obtaining the
    management contract with the Pokagon Band. The maximum liability
    over the five-year period is approximately $11 million.
|   
|(3) | Lakes may be required to provide a guarantee of tribal debt
    financing or otherwise provide support for the tribal
    obligations related to any of the projects. Any guarantees by
    Lakes or similar off-balance sheet liabilities will increase
    Lakes potential exposure in the event of a default by any
    of these tribes. No such guarantees or similar off-balance sheet
    liabilities existed at October 2, 2005.

|(4) | The Company leases an airplane, under a non-cancelable operating
    lease which was amended on May 1, 2005. The new term is for
    a period of up to three years.

    corporate office space. Monthly lease payments began at
    approximately $38,000 and escalate to approximately $45,000 over
    the six-year lease term. The amount set forth in the table above
    assumes monthly lease payments through May 2011.

|(a) |  | Lakes advances funds to the tribes, which are related to certain
    costs incurred to develop the casino project. These costs relate
    to construction costs, legal fees in connection with various
    regulatory approvals and litigation, environmental costs and
    design consulting, and Lakes, in order to obtain the development
    agreement and management contract, agrees to advance a monthly
    amount used by the tribe for a variety of tribal expenses.
|   
|(b) |  | Lakes purchased land to be used and transferred to the tribe in
    connection with the casino project. At Pokagon, a portion of the
    land will be used by the tribe separate from the casino project
    land.

    BIA in August 2004 and the lawsuit was still pending resolution
    as of January 2, 2005. |  | No  The additional information was submitted by the
    BIA in August 2004 and the lawsuit was still pending resolution
    as of January 2, 2005. Subsequently in March 2005 the
    federal judge dismissed the last remaining issue filed by
    Taxpayers of Michigan Against Casinos (TOMAC) and ruled in
    favor of the Pokagon Band allowing the land to be placed into
    trust by the BIA. During the required 60 day waiting
    period, TOMAC filed for an appeal. An agreement has been reached
    between the Department of Justice and TOMAC to not take the land
    into trust during the appeal process in exchange for TOMAC
    agreeing to a fast track hearing process. The appeal
    hearing date was held on December 8, 2005 and a decision is
    pending.
