NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Due to the seasonality of the Company's businesses, operating
results for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1998. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997.
2. Basis of Presentation and Company Operations
Basis of Presentation
WHG Resorts & Casinos Inc. ("WHG"), was formerly known as WMS Hotel
Corporation. Prior to April 21, 1997, WHG was a wholly owned subsidiary
of Williams Hotel Corporation ("WHC"), which in turn was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of WMS Industries Inc. ("WMS"). WHC was merged into WHG
just prior to the April 21, 1997 spin-off of WHG to the shareholders of
WMS at which time the predecessor consolidated financial statements of
WHC appearing herein became the financial statements of WHG.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of WHG reflect results
of operations, cash flows and financial position and have been prepared
using the historical basis in the assets and liabilities and historical
results of operations of WHG and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the
"Company").
The pro forma information reflecting income taxes on a separate return
basis (unaudited), included with the condensed consolidated statements
of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, reflects the
provision for income taxes without the tax benefits allocated to WHG
from WMS for utilization of partnership losses in the WMS consolidated
Federal income tax return. WHG during the periods presented does not
have income subject to Federal income tax that can be included in its
consolidated Federal income tax return along with the partnership
losses to be able to realize the tax benefits.
Company Operations
WHG, through a subsidiary and affiliates owns, operates and manages two
of the leading hotels and casinos located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and
through another subsidiary, the El Conquistador Resort and Country Club
(the "El Conquistador"), a destination resort complex in Las Croabas,
Puerto Rico. WHG's ownership structure in the various entities is as
follows: a 100% interest in Posadas de Puerto Rico Associates,
Incorporated, the owner of the Condado Plaza Hotel & Casino ("Condado
Plaza"); a 50% interest in Posadas de San Juan Associates ("PSJA"), a
partnership which owns the El San Juan Hotel & Casino ("El San Juan");
a 23.3% indirect interest in El Conquistador Partnership L.P. which
owns the El Conquistador; and a 62% interest in Williams Hospitality
Group Inc. ("WHGI"), the management company for the above properties.
8
WHG was a wholly owned subsidiary of WMS prior to April 21, 1997. On
April 21, 1997, WMS distributed 100% of the outstanding voting common
stock of WHG to WMS's stockholders, thereby creating a new independent
public corporation.

4. Merger Agreement
On September 30, 1997, WHG signed a definitive merger agreement with Patriot
American Hospitality Operating Company ("PAHOC"), Patriot American Hospitality
Operating Company Acquisition Subsidiary and Patriot American Hospitality Inc.
("Patriot"). Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of WHG common
stock will be converted into the right to receive .784 paired shares of PAHOC
and Patriot common stock subject to certain adjustments described below. The
shares of PAHOC and Patriot are paired and trade as one unit of the New York
Stock Exchange (the "Paired Shares"). The transaction is subject to WHG
stockholder approval and is expected to close in December, 1997.
The exchange ratio of .784 will be adjusted as follows: (i) if the average
closing price of Patriot Paired Shares during a specified period before the WHG
stockholders' meeting (the "Average Closing Price") exceeds $31.25 and the
transaction closes before February, then the exchange ratio will be adjusted
such that the product of the exchange ratio and such Average Closing Price (the
"Exchange Ratio Product") equals $24.50, (ii) if the Average Closing Price is
greater than $31.75 and the transaction closes in February 1998, the exchange
ratio will be adjusted such that the Exchange Ratio Product equals $24.89, (iii)
if the Average Closing Price is greater than $32.25 and the transaction closes
after February 1998, the exchange ratio will be adjusted such that the Exchange
Ratio Product equals $25.28; (iv) if the Average Closing Price is less than or
equal to $25.50, but greater than or equal to $19.50, the exchange ratio will be
adjusted such that the Exchange Ratio Product equals $20.00; and (v) if the
Average Closing Price is less than $19.50, the exchange ratio will equal 1.026
provided, however, in such event WHG will have the right to terminate the merger
agreement. On November 13, 1997, the closing price of the Patriot Paired Shares
was $30.25.
5. Sale of Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors exercised the put under a Put Option and Call Option
Agreement that was established on April 21, 1997 between the Company and Louis
J. Nicastro, Chairman of the Board which resulted in the Chairman of the Board
purchasing on July 31, 1997, 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for
$3,000,000 in cash. The proceeds are intended to be used for general corporate
purposes. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has 5 votes per share voting
collectively with the common stockholders and a liquidation preference of $10.00
per share plus accrued dividends, has a quarterly dividend equal to the prime
rate plus one half percent calculated on the liquidation preference and the
holder has redemption rights after three years or earlier in the event of two
unpaid quarterly dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock can be converted into
shares of common stock at a conversion price of $9.00, which is the lower of the
closing price of the voting common stock on its first day of official trading
($9.00) and the closing price in the New York Stock Exchange at the close of
business on the business day immediately prior to the date of issuance of the
Preferred Stock ($12.50). A dividend of $45,000 was accrued at September, 30,
1997 and paid October 1, 1997.
6. Proposed Acquisition
On September, 17, 1997, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement to
acquire an existing 127 room hotel and related land next to the Condado Plaza
Hotel for $9,600,000, subject to certain terms and conditions, including
satisfactory due diligence. If the agreement is finalized (on or about November
17, 1997), the Company intends to finance the purchase price through long term
financing and the use of cash currently available.
7. El Conquistador Letter of Credit Extension
As of September 30, 1997, the El Conquistador has $120,000,000 of first mortgage
indebtness due on February 1, 1998. On November 5, 1997, the El Conquistador
entered into the Supplement to Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement with
The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. in order to extend the term of the letter of
credit securing the above first mortgage on the El Conquistador Resort & Country
Club for an additional three months until June 9, 1998. The extension of the
letter of credit effectively extended the term of the first mortgage on the El
Conquistador for an additional three months from February 1, 1998 until May 1,
1998. The Government Development Bank has similarly extended the term of the El
Conquistador's $6,000,000 revolving credit facility.
8. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share amounts are based on weighted average common shares
outstanding. Common stock equivalent shares resulting from stock options and the
convertible preferred shares are not included in the earnings per share
calculation since their inclusion would be antidilutive. The preferred stock
dividend of $45,000 has been reflected in the earnings per share calculation for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

WHG RESORTS & CASINOS INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains certain forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties including the outcome of refinancing certain
debt and seasonality. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward looking statements.
Financial Condition
Cash flows from consolidated operating, investing and financing activities of
the Company during the three months ended September 30, 1997 resulted in net
cash provided of $1,055,000 compared with net cash (required) of $(1,244,000)
during the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1,520,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 1997 compared with cash provided of $2,237,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease of $717,000 was due to an
increase in accrued management fees owed by the El San Juan at September 30,
1997.
Cash used by investing activities was $1,664,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to $517,000 in the three months ended September
30, 1996. This was primarily due to cash used for the purchase of property and
equipment of $1,466,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared
to $331,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September
30, 1997 was $1,199,000 compared with cash used of $2,964,000 during the three
months ended September 30, 1996. Payment of long-term debt and notes payable was
$1,686,000 and $2,285,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The issuance of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
on July 31, 1997 provided $3,000,000 in cash for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 (see footnote 5 to condensed consolidated financial
statements). Net intercompany transactions with WMS resulted in cash used of
$528,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996.
See condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on page 5 for further
details on cash flow items.
The three hotels and casinos and WHGI each provide for their off-season cash
needs through their own cash and from individual short-term note arrangements.
Annual capital expenditures are provided for each year as part of the annual
budgeting process. Capital expenditures are initiated taking into account
available cash and available financing, if necessary.
The Condado Plaza has a $2,000,000 bank line of credit available on which
$500,000 was borrowed at September 30, 1997. The El San Juan has a $1,000,000
bank line of credit available of which there were no borrowings at September 30,
1997. El San Juan and El Conquistador long-term debt agreements provide that
advances and other payments to the owners are to be based on defined levels of
cash flow from the respective hotels and casinos which based on historical
results limits and prohibits, respectively, such transactions. The long-term
debt agreements and other agreements permit the payment to WHGI of certain
management fees and intercompany charges from the three hotels and casinos.
There are no agreements restricting WHGI from paying dividends or otherwise
making advances and the Company expects to receive dividends from WHGI cash flow
to provide for its operating expenses. Management believes that cash flow from
the operations of the Condado Plaza and the El San Juan will be adequate to pay
or
11
refinance its long-term debt as it becomes due and provide for its normal
planned capital additions for the next twelve months.
El Conquistador has $120,000,000 of indebtness due orginally on February 1,
1998, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the El
Conquistador. In November, 1997, an extension of the letter of credit securing
the indebtedness was granted for three additional months thereby extending the
effective due date of such indebtedness to May 1, 1998 (see footnote 7 to
condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein). The Company has
retained an investment banking firm to assist in structuring the refinancing of
the El Conquistador debt. Based on operating history of the El Conquistador, the
Company believes such refinancing will be achieved, but there can be no
assurance thereof. If such financing is not renewed or replaced and as a
consequence thereof the existing lenders foreclose on the El Conquistador, the
Company would probably incur a loss on its investment in and receivables from
the El Conquistador which would be significant to the financial position of the
Company.
Results of Operations
The following summarizes the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the periods shown in the format presented as segment information

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared With
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996
Consolidated revenues increased by $1,692,000 or 13.1% in the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 to $14,571,000 from $12,879,000 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. The increase was due to increased casino chip sales and
favorable win percentage at the Condado Plaza and increased management fees
earned by WHGI at the Condado Plaza and the El San Juan.
Operating income in the Condado Plaza segment was $549,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 compared to a loss of $(329,000) for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, a favorable variance of $878,000. The improved results were
primarily due to increased casino win due to higher chip sales and win
percentages compared to the prior year quarter. In addition, the hotel had
slightly higher occupancy and average daily room rates.
Operating income in the WHGI segment increased by $321,000 due to increased
management fees from the Condado Plaza and El San Juan hotels of $357,000 due to
increased casino and hotel revenues.
General corporate expenses increased to $510,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1997 compared to $93,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 due to
incremental costs incurred as a result of WHG
12
Resorts & Casinos, Inc. becoming an independent public company on April 21,
1997. In the prior year, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of WMS
Industries Inc.
The equity in loss of nonconsolidated affiliates was $(1,010,000) for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared with a loss of $(1,289,000) for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. The 50% equity in loss of the El San Juan was
$(469,000) in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared with $(854,000) in
the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The improved results at the El San Juan were
due primarily to higher casino revenues resulting from higher chip sales and
partially offset by increased casino expenses due to higher volume in the
casino. The 23.3% equity in loss of the El Conquistador was $(541,000) in the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared with ($430,000) in the quarter ended June
30, 1996. The increased loss was due to increased operating expenses in the
current quarter.
The income tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 results

Federal taxes or credit allocated from WMS on the equity in the income or loss
of nonconsolidated affiliates.
