Following are the consolidated financial statements of CMN as of December 31, 1997 and April 30, 1998 (unaudited) together with the report of independent public accountants. 2 3 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.

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 9 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: Four Months Ended April 30, Year Ended ------------------------- December 31, 1997 1998 1997 ----------------- ---------- ---------- Technical assistance $ 533,021 $ 199,067 $ 178,623 Royalties for trade name 355,348 132,700 119,082 Lease of slot machines 528,000 176,000 176,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- $1,416,369 $ 507,767 $ 473,705 ========== ========== ========== 9 10 Pursuant to Crown's Purchase of 49% of the Company and certain other assets as described in Note 1, and as set forth in the purchase agreement of such shares, the above mentioned commissions should be distributed as from June 1997 between CMC and Crown in the following way: - Technical Assistance Agreement: 83.6% to CMC and 16.4% to Crown - Trademark and Trade Name License Agreement: 51% to CMC and 49% to Crown - Slot machines lease Agreement: 51% to CMC and 49% to Crown 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: December 31, 1997 April 30, 1998 ----------------- -------------- Payables to Shareholders $ 278,332 $ 134,321 Notes payable to Shareholders 2,398,050 1,358,182 ------------ ------------ $ 2,676,382 $ 1,492,503 ============ ============ Pursuant to Crown's Purchase of 49% of the Company and certain other assets as described in Note 1, and as set forth in the purchase agreement of such shares, the payables described above are due 51% to CMC and 49% to Crown. 6. INCOME TAXES The provisions for income taxes were as follows: Four Months Ended April 30, Year Ended ----------------------------- December 31, 1997 1998 1997 ----------------- ------------ ---------- Current $ 708,679 $ 460,030 $ 232,489 Deferred - - - ----------- ------------ ---------- $ 708,679 $ 460,030 $ 232,489 ============ ============ ========== 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. 10 11 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. 11 12 PART IV ITEM 14.
