                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Casino Magic Neuquen S.A.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Casino Magic
Neuquen S.A. (a majority-owned subsidiary of Casino Magic Corp.) and subsidiary
as of December 31, 1997 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Casino Magic Neuquen
S.A. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1997, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                            CASINO MAGIC NEUQUEN S.A.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND APRIL 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)



1.       HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

In December 1994 Casino Magic Corp. ("CMC"), a United States based casino
company, was the successful bidder pursuant to an international call for bids to
manage and operate two casino properties owned by the Province of Neuquen,
Argentina (the "Province"). Pursuant to the bid requirements, CMC was then
required to form a new corporation to become a party to the concession contract
with the Province. Accordingly, in December 1994 CMC formed Casino Magic Neuquen
S.A. (the "Company") to manage and operate the Province's two casinos located in
the cities of Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes (collectively, the "Casinos").
The Casinos are managed pursuant to an exclusive twelve-year concession contract
that provides for certain renewal options (see Note 3). The Company was a 99.9%
majority-owned subsidiary of the CMC until June 1997 (see below and Note 8). The
Company began operating the Casinos in January 1995.

On June 2, 1997 Crown Group, Inc. ("Crown"), a United States based holding
company, acquired 49% of the common stock of the Company, as well as interests
in certain other assets and contracts related to the Company, from the CMC. From
that date the Company is owned 51% by CMC and 49% by Crown (collectively the
"Shareholders").


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Casino Magic Neuquen S.A. and its 99.9%
majority-owned subsidiary, Casino Magic Support Services S.A. ("CMSS"). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
References to the Company include its subsidiary.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Casino Revenues

In accordance with industry practice, the Company recognizes as casino revenues
the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins
and losses.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for additions, renewals
and improvements are capitalized. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed
as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the
straight-line method over five years.

Concession Costs

Costs incurred to enter into the concession contract with the Province have been
capitalized and are being amortized over the twelve-year initial term of the
contract.

Organization and Development Costs

The Company incurred certain costs in connection with the organization and
development of the Company's business. These costs are being amortized using the
straight-line method over three years.

Common Stock

As of December 31, 1997 and April 30, 1998 the Company had 3,917,000 shares of
its common stock outstanding, of which 60,000 shares were registered. The
remaining shares are in the process of being registered.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company keeps its accounting records in Argentine pesos, the legal tender in
the Republic of Argentina. The Company's financial statements have been
translated from its functional currency (Argentine pesos) into U.S. dollars in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 "Foreign
Currency Translation" ("SFAS No. 52") issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board. In general, SFAS No. 52 requires that assets and liabilities be
translated based upon the prevailing exchange rate in effect on the balance
sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated based upon the
average exchange rate during the period. All throughout the periods presented
the prevailing exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the U.S. dollar was
1.00 to 1.00.


                                       8

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Start-up Costs. During April 1998, the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee of the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP"),
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." The SOP requires costs of
start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The SOP
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In June 1998, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". The Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting
for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related
results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company
must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
that receive hedge accounting. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999 and must be applied to instruments issued, acquired, or
substantively modified after December 31, 1997. The Company does not expect the
adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.


3.       CONCESSION CONTRACT

On December 21, 1994 the Company entered into a concession contract (the
"Concession") with the Province which provides the Company with the exclusive
right to operate the Casinos, and any other casino located in the Province which
is within a 50 kilometer radius of either of the Casinos. The Company is
required to operate, manage, maintain and repair the Casinos and related
facilities during the term of the Concession. The Company may provide ancillary
goods and services related to the operation of the Casinos.

The twelve-year initial term may be extended by the Province at its option for a
period of up to ten years, provided the Company requests such extension two
years prior to the end of the initial term. Furthermore, should the Company,
individually or jointly with others, invest $5 million or more in hotel
infrastructure in the Province, the Concession term will automatically be
extended for a minimum of five additional years.

Pursuant to the Concession, the Company is required to pay the Province a
monthly rental equal to the greater of (i) $220,000, which amount will be
reduced $40,000 in the event the Company ceases to use the Neuquen facility in
the operation of the Neuquen casino, or (ii) five percent of the monthly average
net gaming revenue for the immediately preceding calendar year. In addition, the
Company pays the Province a tax of 2% of its net gaming revenue. The Province
has guaranteed the Company that no additional municipal or provincial taxes will
be levied on the Company's operations, and that existing municipal or provincial
taxes will not be increased. The Concession is not assignable and a transfer of
more than 49% of the Company's common stock is not permitted without the consent
of the Province.


4.       TRANSACTIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

The Shareholders provide services to the Company under various agreements. Under
the Technical Assistance Agreement the Shareholders provide the Company with
certain expertise, technology, information and know-how in the course of
operating the Casinos for a fee equal to 3% of revenue. Under the Trademark and
Trade Name License Agreement, the Shareholders grant the Company a non-exclusive
license to use the trade name "Casino Magic" and related symbols and logotypes
in connection with the operation of the Casinos for a fee equal to 2% of
revenue. The Shareholders also lease certain slot machine equipment to the
Company for a fee of $44,000 per month. A summary of expenses incurred by the
Company pursuant to the above agreements are as follows:

described in Note 1, and as set forth in the purchase agreement of such shares,

5.       PAYABLES TO SHAREHOLDERS

         The Company has certain payables to the Shareholders. The majority of
such monies due pertain to a loan made by CMC to the Company to fund the initial
cost of the Concession. Such loan is in the form of a note payable, which is due
no later than December 27, 2006, and bears interest at a rate equal to the prime
rate in the United States as published in the Wall Street Journal. Pursuant to
such loan the Company incurred interest expense of $652,459 during the year
ended December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company has accumulated non-interest
bearing balances due to the Shareholders as a result of the various agreements
with the Shareholders and other advances made by the Shareholders. The total
balances due to the Shareholders by the Company as of December 31, 1997 and
April 30, 1998 were as follows:

7.       LITIGATION

Customs Authority

On February 15, 1996 the Argentina Customs Authority ("Customs Authority"), by
means of an injunction, attempted to stop the Company from using its slot
machines located in the Neuquen casino facility. The Customs Authority demanded
the Company file certain documentation with respect to imported slot machines
including the number of slot machines, unit prices and the accounting treatment.
In response to such demand, on February 19, 1996, the Company filed with the
Customs Authority the requested documentation.

Presently the Customs Authority is determining whether the Company's valuation
of imported slot machines was proper for purposes of import taxes. Management of
the Company does not believe the resolution of this matter will have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

Cities of Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes

In July 1996 the cities of Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes modified certain
of their respective municipal ordinances in order to impose a $1 cover charge on
each person entering the Casinos. Historically the Company has not collected
cover charges. In response, the Company filed various actions with the court
stating that such cover charge is unconstitutional and that it violates the
Concession, in that the Concession provides that the Province will guarantee the
Company that there will not be any new or additional taxes relative to the
Company's operation of the Casinos during the Concession term.

As of December 31, 1997 the total estimated claim by the cities of Neuquen and
San Martin de los Andes amounted to approximately $870,000 for which the Company
has made no provision. Management of the Company does not believe the resolution
of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement between Crown and the CMC, CMC has agreed to
reimburse the Company for certain costs and expenses in connection with the
litigation previously described. In particular, CMC will reimburse the Company
for (i) any fine, penalty or other assessment paid by the Company in connection
with the dispute with the Customs Authority, and (ii) an amount equal to the
unpaid cover charges for all periods prior to June 2, 1997 to the extent such
cover charges are paid by the Company. CMC and Crown also entered into a
shareholders' agreement which provides, among other things, that certain
material corporate actions require the approval of both CMC and Crown.
