EUROPA CRUISES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Revenue Associated with Vessel Operations

Revenue associated with vessel operating activities in 2000 consisted of the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses, passenger fares, and food and beverage sales. Revenue did not include the retail amount of fares, food and beverage provided gratuitously to customers, which amounted to $65,241 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, and $362,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company did not operate any vessels in 2001 and, accordingly, there are no revenues associated with vessel operations for the period.

(b) Costs and Expenses Associated with Vessel Operations

Costs and expenses associated with vessel operating activities in 2000 consisted of the following:

	Three Months		Nine Months
	Ended Sept. 30		Ended Sept. 30
Vessel operating expenses	$	398,288	$	1,872,678
Depreciation of vessels, related equipment and amortization of dry dock expenses		324,474		709,774
Advertising and Promotional expense		5,134		24,742
	$	727,896	$	2,607,194

The Company did not operate vessels in 2001 and, accordingly, incurred no expenses associated with vessel operations for the period.

10

(c) Other Operating Costs

Other operating costs consist of the following:

Three months ended September 30	2001		2000
ESOP Provision	$	—	$	15,000
Other		22,674		25,293
	$	22,674	$	40,293

Nine months ended September 30	2001		2000
ESOP Provision	$	80,000	$	72,500
Other		43,649		138,470
	$	123,649	$	210,970

Note 2. Earnings (Loss) per Share

Net (loss) per common share is based on the net (loss) after preferred stock dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common shares outstanding include issued shares less shares held in treasury and unallocated and uncommitted shares held by the ESOP trust.

The Company’s potentially issuable shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding stock purchase options and warrants and convertible preferred stock are excluded from the Company’s computation as their effect would be antidilutive to the Company’s net (loss) per share.

Common Shares outstanding includes:
Issued Shares		33,852,803
Less: Treasury Shares		(1,250,000	)
	Unallocated, uncommitted ESOP Shares	(3,375,000	)
Outstanding Shares		29,227,803

Note 3. Material Contingencies

No new material contingencies have arisen during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 that were not reported in the Company’s annual report on Form-10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. No change of a material nature has occurred with respect to any contingency which was reported therein, except as stated below, regarding Casino World, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

BAY ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, PRESERVE DIAMONDHEAD QUALITY, INC., GULF ISLANDS CONSERVANCY, INC. AND CONCERNED CITIZENS TO PROTECT THE ISLES AND POINT, INC. V. THE COMMISSION ON MARINE RESOURCES, HANCOCK COUNTY PORT AND HARBOR COMMISSION AND CASINO WORLD, INC. (CHANCERY COURT OF HANCOCK COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI)(CASE NO. 960707)

Case Decided (Casino World prevails on appeal / Motion for Reconsideration Pending)
On September 18, 1996, Bay St. Louis Community Association, Preserve Diamondhead Quality, Inc., Gulf Islands Conservancy, Inc. and Concerned Citizens to Protect the Isles and Point, Inc. filed a Notice of Appeal and Complaint against the Commission on Marine Resources, Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission and Casino World, Inc., in the Chancery Court of Hancock County, Mississippi (Case No. 960707), appealing the administrative decision of the Commission on Marine Resources in granting Permit No. DMR-M 9612281-W and COE No. MS96-01566-U. On October 17, 1996, the Mississippi Commission on Marine Resources filed a Response to Notice of Appeal and Answer in which it maintained, in pertinent part, that it had complied with all procedural requirements relevant to grants of permits and use adjustments at issue, that its decision to grant the permit and use adjustment was grounded upon legally sufficient evidentiary grounds and that there was no proper ground at law warranting reversal of its decision. On October 16, 1996, Casino World, Inc. and the Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss for Untimely Appeal in which they alleged that the appellants had failed to file their Notice of Appeal and Complaint within the proper time period. The Joint Motion to Dismiss was granted on December 31, 1996.

On January 15, 1997, the Bay St. Louis Community Association, Preserve Diamondhead Quality, Inc., Gulf Islands Conservancy, Inc. and Concerned Citizens to Protect the Isles and Point, Inc. filed a Notice of Appeal appealing the decision of the Chancery Court to the Supreme Court of Mississippi. On July 23, 1998, the Supreme Court of Mississippi reversed the lower court’s decision and remanded the case to the lower court for a hearing on the merits. On or about August 6, 1998, Casino World, Inc. filed a Motion for Rehearing which was denied on October 15, 1998. On or about October 26, 1998, the case was remanded to the lower court for a hearing on the merits. A hearing on the merits of the case was held on June 22, 2000.

On September 12, 2000, the trial court filed a Memorandum Opinion & Judgement affirming the decision of the Commission on Marine Resources to grant a variance and permit to Casino World, Inc. The trial court found that the Commission’s decision to issue the variance and permit was not arbitrary or capricious, that it was supported by substantial evidence, that it was consistent with the public policy set forth in the Coastal Wetlands Protection Act and that the decision did not violate any statutory or Constitutional rights of the plaintiffs. On October 11, 2000, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the Supreme Court of Mississippi. On October 18, 2001, the Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Commission on Marine Resources in granting a Use Plan Adjustment and Permit to Casino World, Inc. On November 1, 2001, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the decision of the Mississippi Supreme Court.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

The Company’s foremost priority is the development of a Diamondhead, Mississippi, casino resort. In the opinion of the current Board, this project holds the greatest potential for increasing shareholder value. The Company’s management, financial resources, and assets are primarily devoted to this goal.

In 2000, due to the state of the cruise-to-nowhere industry in Florida, the then-political climate in Florida, increased competition, and certain financial obligations of the Company, management divested itself of all vessel operations in August 2000, by selling the Company’s two remaining vessels, the M/V Europa Sky and the M/V Europa Star.

As of June 1, 2000, the Company assigned its dock lease in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida, to an unrelated operator. The terms of the Agreement require this operator to assume all costs associated with the Company’s original lease, including a balloon payment which was made in September 2000 in the approximate amount of $105,600 for improvements previously made to the dock. In addition, the Agreement calls for Europa to receive payments of approximately $22,400 per month.

Revenues

The Company earned total revenues of $ 86,304 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 which consisted primarily of income derived from the lease of the Ft. Myers dock facility and interest on invested cash. During the same period one year ago, the Company earned total revenues of $497,176, of which $266,873 were associated with revenue earned through vessel operations aboard the M/V Europa Sky. The M/V Europa Star did not operate at any time during 2000 prior to it’s sale. In addition, the Company recorded other miscellaneous income in the amount of $41,481 for the three months ended September 30, 2000.

Costs and Expenses

Costs incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2001 totaled $204,250 of which $154,578 were administrative in nature. Total expenses for the current quarter did not include a charge for ESOP expenses, since allowable contributions for the year were previously recorded. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, costs totaled $1,132,192, of which $727,896 were associated with vessel operations and $298,846 were administrative in nature. Non-cash ESOP charges for the third quarter of 2000 totaled $15,000.

Interest expense declined from $61,384 in 2000 to $23,738 in 2001, a decrease of $37,646. The decrease is due to the extinguishment of the debt owing to First Union National Bank. The Company paid the remainder of the amount due First Union National Bank in November 2000.

13

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

Revenues

The Company earned total revenues of $294,021 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, which consisted primarily of income derived from the lease of the Ft. Myers dock facility and interest on invested cash. During the same period one year ago, the Company earned total revenues of $2,030,900, of which $1,629,341 was associated with revenue earned through vessel operations aboard the M/V Europa Sky. The M/V Europa Star did not operate at any time during 2000 prior to its sale. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded other income, arising primarily from negotiated reductions of past liabilities, in the amount of $190,294.

Costs and Expenses

Costs incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 totaled $756,918, of which $551,880 were administrative in nature. Total expenses for the period included non-cash ESOP charges in the amount of $80,000. For the same period one year ago, costs totaled $3,915,681, of which $2,607,194 were associated with vessel operations and $809,964 were administrative in nature. Non-cash ESOP charges for the first nine months of 2000 totaled $72,500.

Interest expense declined from $236,125 in 2000 to $72,059 in 2001, a decrease of $164,066. The decrease is due to the extinguishment of the debt owing to First Union National Bank. The Company paid the remainder of the amount due First Union National Bank in November 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the first nine months of 2001, the Company was able to meet its normal operating costs and expenses through cash on hand. During the period, the Company received all remaining cash payments due on the sales of the M/V Europa Sky and M/V Europa Star in the amount of $3,000,000. Funds received during the first nine months of 2001 were used to reduce debt by $823,631, reduce accounts payable by $177,634, fund costs and expenses in excess of current revenues, and increase available cash by $1,632,510. Of the $823,631 in debt reduction, $650,000 was used to fully satisfy the amount due the Florida Department of Revenue pursuant to a settlement agreement reached for the audit period April 1, 1993 through March 31, 1998.

The Company remains liable to the Florida Department of Revenue pursuant to a settlement agreement relating to the audit periods February 1, 1989 through June 30, 1994. The terms of that settlement agreement call for the Company to make monthly payments in the amount of $10,475 through May 2005, with a final balloon payment in the amount of $964,093 due thereafter. The only other debt of the Company consists of a note payable to debis Financial Services in the amount of $1,465,582, which is being paid on behalf of the Company by Stardancer Casino, Inc. pursuant to the sales agreement for the M/V Europa Sun. The note, which is secured by a first mortgage on the M/V Europa Sun, calls for a balloon payment on November 30,

14

2001, in the approximate amount of $1,430,356. Although secured by a first mortgage, the Company bears ultimate responsibility for the note. However, Stardancer agreed, when it purchased the M/VEuropa Sun, to make payment in full on the obligation.

The Company expects that ongoing cash requirements associated with administration, debt service and expenses associated with the Mississippi project, will exceed cash generated by revenues in future quarters. However, in the opinion of management, the Company will be able to support its ongoing cash requirements through the use of current revenues in addition to cash reserves currently on hand.

Capital Expenditure Requirements

During the year 2001, the Company expects to retain an engineering firm to draft an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for its Diamondhead, Mississippi property. The cost for an EIS and certain associated studies is now estimated at $600,000 to $1,000,000.

Option Agreement to Purchase Real Estate

On October 23, 2001, Mississippi Gaming Corporation, a subsidiary of Europa Cruises Corporation, entered into an Option Agreement to Purchase Real Estate with the owners of an adjoining piece of property. The Option Agreement gives the Company’s subsidiary the right to purchase the same property which was the subject of a prior easement held by the subsidiary across an adjoining piece of property. The prior easement covered a parcel approximately two acres in size and gave the subsidiary rights of ingress and egress across the adjoining property. The prior easement agreement required the Company to commence construction of a road on the property by December 22, 2001. Under the terms of the new Agreement, the subsidiary acquired an option to purchase the same land which was the subject of the prior easement through December 31, 2004.
