These financial statements and schedules and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and Schedules II and III referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held for Investment at December 31, 1994 and Reportable Transactions for the Year Ended December 31, 1994 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary informa- tion required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements and Schedules II and III taken as a whole.

CIRCUS CIRCUS EMPLOYEES' PROFIT SHARING, INVESTMENT AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1994 (1) Description of the Plan The following description of the Circus Circus Employees' Profit Sharing, Investment and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Plan participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General The Plan was adopted as a 401(k) plan by the Board of Directors of Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc. ("CCEI") in August 1985 and has been approved by the Board of Directors of each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries which are participating employers (collectively referred to as the "Company"). Employee stock ownership features were added to the Plan, and other changes made, in November 1989. Certain other amendments have been made to the Plan from time to time, including those necessary to comply with Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor guidelines. The Plan is administered by CCEI except with respect to investments (see Note 2). Plan amendments must be approved by CCEI's Board of Directors. The Plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan covering primarily non-union employees of at least age 21 who have completed one year of service, including at least 1,000 hours of service as defined in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended. Changes in the Plan On November 22, 1993, the Plan was amended (the Eighth Amendment) for the purposes of complying with recent changes in applicable law and recently issued Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor regulations and to make other desired changes. Substantive changes included provisions for the direct rollover of qualifying distributions, limitations on compensation taken into account under the plan to $150,000 and additional provisions regarding the approval and administration of qualified domestic relations orders. None of the changes are considered to be a significant change to the Plan. Contributions Contributions to the Plan are limited under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") as follows: i. Section 401(k) of the Code establishes maximum percentages of compensation which may be contributed as elective contributions by participants of the Plan who constitute "Highly Compensated Employees" (as defined in the Code). ii. Section 401(m) of the Code establishes maximum percentages of compensation which may be contributed as matching contributions on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employees. iii. Section 402(g) of the Code establishes a specific dollar limitation on the amount of an individual participant's elective contributions to the Plan. iv. Section 415 of the Code establishes limitations on the combined amounts of annual employer and employee contributions and forfeitures which may be credited to an individual participant's account. Employee Savings Contributions The Plan provides for each participant to contribute up to 15 percent of his/her compensation unless otherwise reduced to comply with limitations as contained in the Internal Revenue Code. The participants may elect to have such contributions invested in any of five investment options (see Note (2) "Investment Options"). Savings contributions are accepted on the condition that they fall within certain limitations contained in the Plan document. Savings contributions that do not comply with those limitations are to be returned (with the earnings, if any, on such amount) to the participant after the Plan year end. Automatic Contributions The Company contributes an amount to each eligible participant's account annually based on years of credited service (as defined). Automatic contributions, ranging from $250 for one year of service to $800 for eight or more years of service, per participant, may be funded with CCEI common stock or cash at the option of the Company. Employer Matching Contributions The Company matches 25% of participant savings contributions up to specified maximum amounts per participant ranging from $62.50 for one year of service to $200 for eight or more years of service. The contributions may be funded in cash or CCEI common stock, at the Company's option. Employer Discretionary Contributions The Plan also provides for discretionary contributions to be made by the Company, if approved by CCEI's Board of Directors. No employer discretionary contributions had been made through December 31, 1994. Vesting Participants eligibly employed before July 3, 1989, and who entered the Plan on or before December 31, 1992, are fully vested in all employer contributions and related earnings. For participants with initial eligible employment dates on or after July 3, 1989, and for participants with eligible employment dates prior to July 3, 1989, but who did not enter the Plan until after December 31, 1992, employer contributions and earnings thereon begin vesting in annual 25% increments after three years of service and are completely vested after six years of service, as defined in the Plan. All employee contributions and earnings thereon are 100% vested, regardless of employment date. The Plan requires a participant to reach age 65 and to complete five years of plan participation to qualify for normal retirement. All accounts are fully vested at the time of normal retirement. In the event of death or total disability (as defined) of a participant, the participant's accounts also become fully vested. Upon termination of employment prior to normal retirement, total disability or death, the unvested portion of a participant's account will be forfeited. Such forfeitures occurring during a Plan Year will be allocated among the remaining participants as of the last day of the Plan year in proportion to the respective participants automatic contributions for such Plan Year. Benefits The benefit to which a participant is entitled is paid in a lump sum. The following benefits are payable under the provisions of the Plan: Retirement Benefit Upon the later of reaching normal retirement age (65 years of age), or accumulating five years of Plan participation, a participant is entitled to a retirement benefit in an amount equal to 100% of the participant's account balance. Death Benefit In the event of the death of a participant, his designated beneficiary shall be entitled to a death benefit in an amount equal to 100% of the participant's account balance. Disability Benefit In the event a participant becomes totally disabled (as defined), such participant will be entitled to a disability benefit in an amount equal to 100% of the participant's account balance. Severance of Employment Benefit In the event a participant's employment with the Company is terminated, such participant will be entitled to a severance of employment benefit in an amount equal to the participant's vested account balance. Benefits Payable Net assets available for benefits at December 31, 1994 and 1993 include the market values of $52,023 and $1,030, respectively, for distributions to be paid subsequent to year end. (2) Investment Options All employer contributions are directed to the ESOP fund. These contributions may be in CCEI common stock or cash which will be used to purchase CCEI stock or, to a limited extent, other investments. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, there were 474,289 and 374,729 shares of CCEI common stock held by the ESOP, respectively. All employee contributions are invested among the following five other investment options available under the Plan, at the direction of the participant. No portion of the ESOP fund investments may be directed by participants into other funds prior to 1999. To the extent a participant does not specifically designate investment elections, undesignated amounts are invested in the fund(s) determined by the trustee until a designation can be obtained from the participant. The participant-directed investment options available are as follows: Fund A - Circus Circus Common Stock This fund is invested by Bank of America, Nevada (the "Trustee"), primarily in CCEI common stock. The Trustee has discretion as to the timing and manner of purchasing shares of common stock. Cash dividends or interest, if any, are reinvested in this fund, and any stock dividends or shares issued pursuant to a stock split on the shares held by this fund will be added to this fund. The respective numbers of shares of CCEI common stock held by this fund as of the dates indicated are as follows: December 31, 1994 1993 Number of shares 698,974 621,321 Fund B - Fixed Income Fund Effective January 1, 1991, all new investments in Fund B are invested in the Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust (the "Merrill Lynch Fund"), formerly named the Merrill Lynch GIC Managed Trust, which is a collective trust fund available for investments by qualified retirement plans. The Merrill Lynch Fund's investment goals are to obtain high current income consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Merrill Lynch Fund is invested primarily in contracts issued by insurance companies and banks which provide for a return of principal plus interest, either periodically or at maturity. Investments may also include money market instruments. Merrill Lynch Trust Company ("Merrill Lynch") and Merrill Lynch Asset Management, Inc. (corporations entirely owned, directly or indirectly, by Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.) are the trustee and the investment advisor, respectively, of the Merrill Lynch Fund. Contributions to this fund prior to January 1, 1991 were invested in Guaranteed Interest Accounts ("GIA") under a contract with Principal Financial Group ("PFG") which constitute part of PFG's general pooled account. This account is invested principally in privately placed loans (such as bonds and mortgages) with maturities that generally parallel PFG's guarantees under its GIA's. The GIA's offer guaranteed principal and interest for periods of five years as selected by CCEI. Fund C - General Common Stock Fund This Fund is invested by the Trustee in the S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), an investment fund constituting a part of the SEI Index Funds and managed by SEI Financial Management Corporation. The Portfolio seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Price Index. Fund D - U.S. Government Securities Fund This Fund is invested in the Federated Intermediate Government Trust (the "FIG Trust") which invests in U.S. government securities to provide current income. The FIG Trust invests only in U.S. government securities with remaining maturities of five years or less. Fund E - Capital Fund This Fund is invested in Class A shares of the Merrill Lynch Capital Fund which consists of equity securities, corporate bonds and/or money market securities and such other investments as may be provided from time to time under an agreement of trust, a contract or an agreement entered into by the plan administrator or the trustee with an investment manager. (3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accrual Basis of Accounting The Plan's financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis. Plan Expenses Plan expenses, including accounting, legal, trustee and any other costs of administering the Plan or Trust, are paid by the Company or charged to the Trust at the discretion of CCEI's Board of Directors. All Plan expenses during 1994 were paid by the Company. Valuation of Investments Contributions to the guaranteed interest accounts in the Fixed Income Fund prior to 1991 guarantee a fixed rate of interest for a five-year period. The interest rates were determined based on the rate for guaranteed interest accounts on the dates of deposit. Contributions to the Fixed Income Fund subsequent to 1990 are placed in the Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust, formerly named the Merrill Lynch GIC Managed Trust. The interest rate earned on such investments is the weighted average rate determined by the individual contracts or investments that make up the Trust. The investment for such accounts in the statements of net assets subsequent to 1990 is stated at the amount of the contributions plus the interest earned to date. The values of the General Common Stock Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, and Capital Fund at the balance sheet date are based on the latest available closing prices of the investments included in these funds. The value of the Circus Circus Common Stock Fund and the ESOP Fund at the balance sheet date are based on the latest available quoted closing price of the stock which was $23.13 and $36.75 per share as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Subsequent to the end of the 1994 Plan Year, the market value of the CCEI common stock increased from $23.13 on December 31, 1994 to $33.63 on June 6, 1995. (4) Federal Income Taxes The Company received a favorable determination letter, dated May 23, 1995, from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax exempt status of the Plan (under Code Section 401(a)), and as to whether the Plan, as amended through November 1993, qualifies for deferred tax treatment of contributions (under Code Section 401(k)). This favorable determination letter was conditioned on the adoption of certain amendments and the Company intends to adopt these amendments. There were no amendments to the Plan in 1994. In management's opinion, within the limits established by the Plan, a participant in the Plan is not subject to any Federal income tax on the contributions of the participant or the Company, or on the dividends, interest or profits from sales of securities held by the Trustee, until such amounts are withdrawn by the participant. (5) Plan Termination Although the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, it reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time.
