EXPLANATORY NOTE:


On October 25, 1996, the Registrant, American Wagering, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), acquired from Autotote Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("AC"), all of the outstanding shares of capital stock ("Shares") of
Autotote CBS, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("CBS"), pursuant to a Stock Transfer
Agreement between the Company and AC, and the right to use certain software
owned by AC and Autotote Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ASI"), useful
in CBS's business ("License") pursuant to a Technology Cross License Agreement,
as amended, among CBS, AC and ASI. CBS designs, installs and provides sports and
race book equipment, software, including the MEGASPORTS (R) product for
pari-mutuel sports wagering, and computer systems to the sports betting industry
and owns the real estate and building in Las Vegas, Nevada where the Company
currently maintains its corporate offices.

As consideration for the Shares and License the Company paid $3 million in cash
from its working capital to AC and agreed to guarantee pursuant to a Guaranty
Agreement CBS's obligation under its current mortgage of approximately $2
million on the real estate and building.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Stock Transfer Agreement, (i) ASI
appointed CBS as its distributor in Nevada of ASI products, including Probe
terminals, MKII terminals, videocards, communication devices and pari-mutuel
race systems ("Distribution Products") pursuant to an Authorized Exclusive
Distributorship Agreement between them ("Distributorship Agreement"); (ii) ASI
granted CBS the right under certain conditions, to manufacture video gaming
machines, Distribution Products pursuant to a Manufacturing Agreement between
them ("Manufacturing Agreement") and (iii) CBS and ASI agreed to cooperate in
pursuing business relating to international sports and pari-mutuel wagering
pursuant to an International Cooperation Agreement between them ("International
Agreement").

The terms of the Stock Transfer Agreement, including the agreement with respect
to consideration, were arrived at pursuant to arms-length negotiations between
representatives of the Company, on the one hand, and representatives of AC, on
the other hand. The transaction was approved by the Company's Board of Directors
on October 25, 1996.

On November 8, 1996, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") a Report on Form 8-K (the "Initial 8-K Report")
with respect to the Company's acquisition of the stock of Autotote CBS, Inc.

Pursuant to clause (a)(4) of Item 7 of Form 8-K, the Initial 8-K Report did not
include the historical CBS financial statements and the pro forma financial
information of the Company (the "Financial Information") and instead contained
an undertaking to file the Financial Information with the Commission in an
amendment to the Initial 8-K Report as soon as practicable, but not later than
January 7, 1997. This amendment is being filed for the purpose of satisfying the
Company's undertaking to file the Financial Information, and this amendment
should be read in conjunction with the Initial 8-K Report.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Autotote CBS, Inc. (a Nevada

the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the

31, 1995. 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 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 referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Autotote CBS, Inc. as of

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation

Autotote CBS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company" or "CBS"), is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Autotote Corporation ("AC"). CBS is principally
engaged in providing hardware and software products to licensed race and sports
book operations in the State of Nevada.

On October 25, 1996, American Wagering, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("AWI"),
acquired from Autotote Corporation all of the outstanding shares of capital
stock ("Shares") of the Company pursuant to a Stock Transfer Agreement between
AWI and AC, and the right to use certain software owned by AC and Autotote
Systems, Inc. ("ASI"), a sister corporation wholly-owned by AC, in the Company's
business pursuant to a Technology Cross License Agreement, among CBS, AC and ASI
(the "License"). At the purchase date, the Company changed its name to
Computerized Bookmaking Systems, Inc.

As consideration for the Shares and License, AWI paid $3 million in cash to AC
and agreed to guarantee, pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, the Company's
obligation under its current mortgage of approximately $2 million on the
underlying real estate and building.

Simultaneous with the execution of the Stock Transfer Agreement, ASI appointed
CBS as its distributor in Nevada of ASI products, including Probe terminals,
MKII terminals, videocards, communication devices and pari-mutuel race systems
("Distribution Products") pursuant to an Authorized Exclusive Distributorship
Agreement ("Distributorship Agreement"). Pursuant to the Distributorship
Agreement, prices for products excluding terminals will be the Cost (as defined)
to AC or ASI plus a 25 percent mark-up. Additionally, terminals are to be
purchased at prescribed costs as stated in such agreement. The Distributorship
Agreement results in product pricing in excess of what was historically paid
while CBS was under common ownership with ASI. In addition, ASI granted CBS the
right, under certain conditions, to manufacture video gaming machines and
Distribution Products pursuant to a Manufacturing Agreement. Finally, CBS and
ASI agreed to cooperate in pursuing business relating to international sports
and pari-mutuel wagering pursuant to an International Cooperation Agreement.

AC and its subsidiaries have entered into certain non-competition provisions
with respect to the Company which include, among other requirements, a provision
that for a period of five years after the closing date and thereafter during the
continuation of the Distributorship Agreement, AC and subsidiaries are
prohibited from directly or 




<PAGE>

indirectly competing with the Company in the operation of its pari-mutuel racing
businesses which have been and will be conducted in Nevada and in the operation
of its race and sports book or pari-mutuel sports wagering businesses, anywhere
in the world.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     a.  Revenue Recognition

         The Company recognizes revenue when the software and hardware are
         installed at the customer location. Maintenance fee revenue is
         recognized as the services are provided.

     b.  Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
         maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Such
         investments are carried at a cost which approximates market value.

     c.  Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (based on the first-in,
         first-out method) or market. Costs capitalized as inventory include

     d.  Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of property
         and equipment is provided using the straight line method over the
         following estimated useful lives of the related assets:

                                             Life in
                                              Years
                                             -------
         Building                               39
         Furniture and equipment                5-7
         Vehicles                               5-7

     e.  Federal Income Taxes

         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS")
         No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective November 1, 1993.

         Under SFAS 109, income taxes are calculated using the asset and
         liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income
         taxes are calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates to
         cumulative temporary differences between financial statement carrying
         amounts and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.

     f.  Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

     g.  Concentration of Risk

         The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from a
         limited number of licensed race and sports books in the State of
         Nevada. Limitations on the scope of operations at such licensed race
         and sports books due to statutory or regulatory changes or
         deterioration in the general economic conditions which impact the
         gaming industry in Nevada could adversely affect the Company's
         operating results.

         The Company purchases substantially all of its inventory for resale
         from ASI and is dependent on ASI for its future inventory supply. Any
         interruption in the Company's relationship with ASI could have a
         negative impact on the Company's ability to obtain inventory on
         comparable terms and provide uninterrupted service to its customers.

4.  Investment in Joint Venture

On January 24, 1994, Autotote Systems, Inc. entered into a joint venture with
IGT-North America ("IGT"). ASI and IGT each owned a fifty percent interest in
the joint venture company which was named MegaSports, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("MegaSports"). MegaSports is an enterprise in the development stage and is
engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of a pari-mutuel sport
wagering system. On April 27, 1994, ASI's interest in MegaSports was assigned to
the Company.

The Company's investment in joint venture balance in the accompanying balance
sheets have arisen primarily through contributions of property, equipment and
programming services. In 1995, the Company put on hold indefinitely pursuing the
licensing of the MegaSports software in the State of Nevada. As a result of this
decision, the Company determined that $202,774 of previously contributed costs,
consisting primarily of programming services, would not be realizable and,
accordingly, wrote down its investment in joint venture balance related to these
costs.

5.  Intangible and Other Assets

Intangible and other assets consisted of the following at October 31, 1995 and
October 24, 1996:

                                             October 31,    October 24,

                                             -----------    ------------

         Goodwill                             $1,498,846     $1,201,810
         Loan fees                                91,348         86,828
         Product development costs                59,415         12,642
                                              ----------     ----------
                                              $1,649,609     $1,301,280
                                              ----------     ----------

Goodwill arose in connection with AC's original acquisition of the Company in
1989 and is being amortized over a 40 year period. In connection with the
acquisition of the Company by AWI, the Company wrote down the goodwill balance
at October 24, 1996 by $254,000 which represents the difference between the
purchase price of $3,156,000 and the book value of net assets acquired.
Capitalized loan fees associated with the building mortgage note are being
amortized over the related term of the mortgage. The
    


                                      -4-
<PAGE>
   


Company has capitalized the cost of developing certain software it sells to
customers in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
Marketed." These costs are amortized based on estimated future revenues, but not
less than straight-line amortization over the remaining economic life of the
software.

In 1995, the Company put on hold indefinitely pursuing its application for a
gaming license in the State of Nevada and, accordingly, the Company wrote-off
approximately $323,500 of previously capitalized costs incurred in conjunction
with this pursuit. This amount is included in the write off of investment and
other assets in the accompanying statements on income.

6.  Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consisted of the following at October 31, 1995 and October 24,
1996:

7.  Mortgage Note Payable

In September 1995, the Company financed the acquisition of its office building
by entering into a $2.1 million mortgage note payable. The mortgage note payable
carries interest at an 8 percent fixed rate and matures in September, 2015. The
amount due under the mortgage note payable is collateralized by a first deed of
trust on the building.

As of October 24, 1996 the Company's mortgage note payable matures as follows:

              1997                           $    48,402

8.   Income Taxes

The Company has been included in the consolidated tax returns of Autotote
Corporation. In accordance with a tax sharing agreement with Autotote
Corporation, the Company provides for an intercompany charge in lieu of income
taxes for its current and deferred taxes at a rate of 35 percent. Items
considered non-deductible for tax purposes consist of goodwill amortization and
the write down of goodwill disclosed in Note 5.

The provision (benefit) for federal income taxes consisted of the following:

                                                 October 31,     October 24,

                                                  =========       ========= 

The Company did not record a valuation allowance at October 31, 1995 relating to
recorded tax benefits because all benefits are likely to be realized.

Pursuant to provisions contained in the Stock Transfer Agreement, the applicable
income, deductions and credits for the Company up to and including the closing
date will be included in the consolidated federal income tax returns of AC for
the fiscal year ending October 31, and AC shall pay all federal income taxes
(excluding deferred taxes), attributable to such period.

9.   Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has executed long-term employment contracts with five of its
employees. Four of the employees have three-year contracts, commencing in mid
1995, which are automatically renewable each year. These contracts stipulate
that if the employees are terminated other than for cause, the employees are to
receive five percent of their total salaries since their beginning of
employment. Certain of these agreements exempt the employees from non-compete
agreements previously entered into if terminated other than for cause.
    

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
   

In March 1996, the Company entered into a guaranteed two year employment
contract with a former officer of the Company. The contract (as amended) states
that the former officer of the Company will receive $155,000 per year. This
former officer resigned his position as an officer effective October 25, 1996
but remained an employee of the Company. The Company has accrued $217,000 to
reflect the liability associated with this employment contract.

Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged to secure AC's debt. The
Company has also guaranteed a portion of AC's debt. Upon the sale of the Company
to AWI (see Note 1), AC's lender released the Company from its pledge and
guarantee obligations.

The Company has committed to purchase approximately $323,000 of inventory from
ASI as of October 24, 1996.

The Company is the subject of certain lawsuits that arise during the normal
course of business. Management of the Company believes the ultimate outcome of
the lawsuits will not have a material adverse impact on the financial position
or results of operations of the Company.

10.  Related Party Transactions

An officer of the Company received a portion of his compensation in fiscal 1995
and 1996 from Leroy's Race and Sports Book ("Leroy's"), currently a wholly-owned
subsidiary of American Wagering, Inc., for whom he also provided substantial
employment services. The officer's compensation was allocated to the two
companies based on the amount of services performed for each company.

In 1995 and 1996, the Company provided certain office space to Leroy's and
MegaSports and other services to Leroy's.

During 1995 and 1996, the Company provided continuing software support for a
customer of ASI. During 1996, the Company provided these services on behalf of
ASI at a rate approximately 40 percent below its normal market prices. During
fiscal 1995, the Company provided these services at no charge to ASI.

During 1995 and 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of its inventory
from ASI.

In 1995 and 1996, the Company was provided with certain liability, property and
health insurance coverages from AC.

Except as indicated above, management believes that transactions between the
Company and Autotote Corporation, Autotote Systems, Inc. and other affiliates of
AC were on terms comparable to those that could be obtained from unaffiliated
parties.

11.  Dividend to Autotote Corporation

On September 16, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend
to AC which consisted of the following: (1) the transfer, grant, conveyance,
assignment and quitclaim of the entire right, title and interest of the Company
in and to the Pari-mutuel Tote Software (as defined), including both tangible
and intangible property constituting the Pari-mutuel Tote Services as follows:
(a) all copyright and patent interest throughout the world owned or claimed by
the Company in the Pari-mutuel Tote Software, together with the right to sue
for, settle, or release any past, present or future infringements; (b) title to
and possession of two copies of the media and documentation that constitute the
component parts and copies of the Pari-mutuel Tote Software, and (c) all right,
title and interest owned or claimed by the Company in and to the inventions,
discoveries, improvements, ideas, trade secrets, know-how, confidential
information, and all other intellectual property owned or claimed by the Company
pertaining to the Pari-mutuel Tote Software, but not to the CBS Software (as
defined), and (2) all net intercompany accounts receivable owed by AC to the
Company.

12.  Employees' 401 (k) Profit Sharing Plan

The Company offers all its eligible employees participation in the Autotote
Systems, Inc. 401 (k) Retirement Plan for Non-Union Employees (the "Plan"). The
Plan provides for purchases of certain investment vehicles by eligible employees
through annual payroll deductions of up to 10 percent of compensation. Upon
attainment of certain service requirements, the Company contributes 5 percent of
a participant's earnings to the Plan. Participant contributions are always fully
vested. Employer contributions vest pro rata over a five-year period. The
Company had expenses related to the Plan of $50,381 and $56,435 for 1995 and
1996, respectively.

On October 25, 1996, concurrent with the sale of the Company (see Note 1), the
Company discontinued its participation in the Plan.

                             AMERICAN WAGERING, INC.
                    PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Introduction to Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying pro forma condensed financial statements present pro forma
financial information for American Wagering, Inc. ("AWI") on a consolidated
basis giving effect to the October 25, 1996 acquisition of Autotote CBS, Inc.
("CBS"). Under the terms of the Stock Transfer Agreement, AWI paid $3,000,000 in
cash and incurred other acquisition costs totaling $156,000 for a total purchase
price of $3,156,000 for all of the capital stock of CBS.

American Wagering, Inc. timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for 
the quarter ended October 31, 1996 on December 16, 1996. A consolidated balance
sheet of AWI as of October 31, 1996, including the accounts of Autotote CBS, 
Inc. (renamed Computerized Bookmaking Systems, Inc.) since its acquisition on 
October 25, 1996, was included in this Form 10-QSB.

The accompanying pro forma condensed statements of income cover the year ended
January 31, 1996 for AWI, the year ended October 31, 1995 for CBS and the twelve
months ended December 31, 1996 for a hotel/casino business acquired by AWI in
fiscal year 1997 in an unrelated transaction. The nine month period for AWI is
for the period ended October 31, 1996 and nine months ended July 31, 1996 for
CBS. Both statements of income have been presented on the assumption that the
acquisition occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The pro forma condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of
the results that will be achieved for future periods as a result of the
combination of AWI and CBS. These pro forma financial statements and the related
notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of AWI and CBS.

                Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements
                                October 31, 1996


1.   The adjustment to other income and operating expenses reflects the
     elimination of rental income and expense of $54,000 for the year ended
     October 31, 1995 and $158,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1996
     related to the lease between CBS (the landlord) and American Wagering, Inc.
     (the tenant).


2.   The adjustment to the October 31, 1996 provision for income taxes reflects
     the offset of CBS tax expense with the net operating loss of AWI resulting
     in no pro forma tax benefit as the operating entity had not previously
     generated taxable income.


3.   The adjustment to depreciation and amortization arises from the step-up in
     the basis of assets and amortization of the excess of purchase price over
     fair market value of net acquired assets related to the hotel/casino
     business that was previously acquired in fiscal year 1997. In addition,
     additional amortization expense is reflected for the periods related to
     software, non-compete provisions and licensing rights purchased in the CBS
     acquision.


4.   The adjustment to other income of $23,000 reflects interest expense on debt
     issued in connection with the prior acquisition of the hotel/casino
     business in fiscal year 1997.


5.   The adjustment to other operating expenses reflects removal of bankruptcy
     costs incurred by the previously acquired hotel/casino business.


6.   The adjustment to compute the pro forma income tax provision for the year
     ended January 31, 1996 utilizes a rate of 34 percent.
