        SHOWBOAT MARINA CASINO PARTNERSHIP (PARTNERSHIP)
                  (A Development Stage Entity)
           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                          June 30, 1996
                                
 (1)    ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
        POLICIES
   
   NATURE OF OPERATIONS
   
   The  accompanying  consolidated financial  statements  present
   the  financial position, results of operations and cash  flows
   of  Showboat  Marina Casino Partnership (a  development  stage
   entity)   (Partnership)  and  its  wholly  owned   subsidiary,
   Showboat  Marina Finance Corporation (Finance Corporation)  as
   of  June 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996, and for the periods from
   April  1,  1996,  through June 30, 1996, and  March  29,  1996
   (commencement of development) through March 31,  1996.   These
   financial  statements also present the cash flows of  Showboat
   Marina   Partnership  (Predecessor)  for   the   period   from
   January  1,  1996 through March 28, 1996, and  the  cumulative
   cash  flows  of  the  Partnership  and  the  Predecessor  from
   January  31,  1994  (inception) through June  30,  1996.   The
   Predecessor  had no operations through March  28,  1996  other
   than  development and licensing activities, the cost of  which
   were   capitalized   and  subsequently  contributed   to   the
   Partnership  as  described below.  Therefore  a  statement  of
   operations is not applicable.
   
   Partnership  is  a general partnership and was  formed  as  of
   March  1,  1996  for  the  purpose of developing  a  riverboat
   casino  complex  in East Chicago, Indiana to  be  operated  on
   Lake  Michigan.  The complex will consist of a gambling cruise
   vessel  and  a  land  based  support  facility  (East  Chicago
   Showboat).   The East Chicago Showboat vessel is  expected  to
   contain approximately 51,000 square feet of gaming space  with
   approximately  1,700 slot machines and approximately  86 table
   games.   The land based facility is expected to consist  of  a
   pavilion,  garage and surface parking.  The pavilion  will  be
   approximately   100,000  square  feet  and  will   include   a
   buffet/coffee shop, lounge, gift shop, ticket/promotions  area
   as   well  as  administrative  offices.   The  current  design
   includes a 1,000 space parking garage and 1,500 space  surface
   parking.    The   Partnership  is  currently  evaluating   the
   expansion  of  the  garage by 800 spaces  and  connecting  the
   garage  directly  to the pavilion prior to  opening.   Finance
   Corporation  was incorporated on March 7, 1996 to  assist  the
   Partnership  in  financing  the  East  Chicago  Showboat.  The
   Predecessor  was  formed on January  31,  1994  and  had  been
   developing  the  project  prior  to  the  formation   of   the
   Partnership.
   
   The  Partnership  is owned 99% by the Predecessor  and  1%  by
   Showboat  Marina Investment Partnership.  The  Partnership  is
   effectively owned 55% by Showboat, Inc. (Showboat) and 45%  by
   Waterfront  Entertainment and Development,  Inc.  (Waterfront)
   through various partnership interests.
   
   The  Predecessor applied for the sole riverboat gaming license
   allocated   to  East  Chicago,  Indiana  and  was  granted   a
   certificate  of  suitability (Certificate of  Suitability)  by
   the  Indiana Gaming Commission on January 8, 1996.   On  March
   20,  1996,  the Predecessor received approval to transfer  the
   Certificate  of Suitability to the Partnership.  As  of  March
   27,  1996,  the  Predecessor contributed  the  Certificate  of
   Suitability, and on March 28, 1996 all of its
                            
                                8
   <PAGE>
   
   assets  (except  for the capital stock of East Chicago  Second
   Century,  Inc.), liabilities and obligations were  contributed
   to the Partnership.
   
   Certain   information   and  footnote   disclosures   normally
   included  in financial statements prepared in accordance  with
   generally    accepted   accounting   principles   have    been
   consolidated   or   omitted.   These  consolidated   financial
   statements  should be read in conjunction with  the  financial
   statement  and  notes  thereto included in  the  Partnership's
   Amendment  No.  2  to  Registration  Statement  on  Form   S-4
   effective July 11, 1996.
   
   The  accompanying unaudited consolidated financial  statements
   contain  all adjustments which are only of a recurring nature,
   in  the  opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement
   of  the  results  of  the  interim  period.   The  results  of
   operations  for  the  interim periods are  not  indicative  or
   results  of  operations  for an entire  year.   Certain  prior
   period  balances  have been reclassified  to  conform  to  the
   current period's presentation.
   
 (2)    LONG-TERM DEBT
   
   On  March  28,  1996, the Partnership and Finance  Corporation
   issued  $140.0  million (Offering) in the aggregate  principal
   amount of 13 1/2% Series A First Mortgage Notes due 2003  (Old
   Notes)  through a private placement.  In connection  with  the
   Offering,  the  Partnership and Finance Corporation  committed
   to   file   a   registration   statement   to   register   the
   Partnership's  and  Finance Corporation's  13  1/2%  Series  B
   First  Mortgage  Notes due 2003 (New Notes) and  exchange  the
   Old  Notes  for  the  New Notes.  All of the  Old  Notes  were
   exchanged for the New Notes on August 12, 1996.  The form  and
   terms  of the New Notes are identical in all material respects
   to  the  Old  Notes.  Hereafter, the New Notes and  Old  Notes
   shall be referred to as the Notes.
   
   The  proceeds  from  the  Offering were  approximately  $134.4
   million,  net of underwriting discounts and commissions.   The
   net  proceeds  will  be  used  to  develop  the  East  Chicago
   Showboat.   Interest is payable on the Notes  semiannually  on
   March   15,   and   September  15  of  each  year   commencing
   September  15,  1996.  The Notes will not be redeemable  prior
   to  March  15, 2000, except as otherwise required by a  gaming
   authority.   On  and after March 15, 2000, the Notes  will  be
   redeemable  at the option of the Partnership, in whole  or  in
   part,  at  redemption  prices ranging from  106.750%  in  2000
   through  100.000% in 2002 and thereafter, as  defined  in  the
   Indenture  for  the Notes (the Note Indenture),  plus  accrued
   and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any.
   
   The  Note  Indenture  places significant restrictions  on  the
   incurrence   of  additional  indebtedness,  the  creation   of
   additional  liens  on  the  collateral  securing  the   Notes,
   transactions   with   affiliates  and   payment   of   certain
   restricted payments.

 (3)    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   Atlantic  Marine, Inc. has been retained to  build  and  equip
   the  riverboat  vessel.  The current contract price  is  $38.5
   million,  but is subject to adjustments, if any, as set  forth
   in the contract.
   
   Tonn  &  Blank,  Inc., in joint venture with KLM Construction,
   Inc.,   has   been  retained  to  build  and   construct   the
   approximately $34.0 million land based facilities of the  East
   Chicago  Showboat.  The general construction contract provides
   for  payment  of  a basic fee of $1.7 million  and  a  general
   conditions  fee  of  $1.2 million for the  general  contractor
   services.   In  addition, the joint venture  may  bid  on  the
   subcontracts  for  construction at the East Chicago  Showboat.
   As  of August 12, 1996 the joint venture has been selected  as
   the  subcontractor for the construction of building  concrete,
   structural  steel erection and pilecaps for the  East  Chicago
   Showboat   at  a  construction  cost  of  approximately   $2.6
   million.
   
   Luhr  Bros.,  Inc., has been retained to build the breakwater,
   mooring/fending  bulkhead  and  to  perform   basin   dredging
   necessary  for  the  marina operations  of  the  East  Chicago
   Showboat.   The contract is a fixed price contract  for  $14.5
   million  and is subject to adjustments based on design changes
   related to the development.
   
   Thompson   Engineering  has  been  retained  to  provide   the
   Partnership  with basic services related to the reconstruction
   and   the  construction  phases  of  the  development  of  the
   riverboat   casino   complex.    For   basic   services,   the
   Partnership shall compensate Thompson Engineering  on  a  time
   and   materials  basis  estimated  to  be  approximately   $.9
   million.
   
   The  Hillier Group has been retained by the Partnership as the
   project  architect for the pavilion, garage,  water  treatment
   plant  facade, vessel, and sitework.  The Hillier  Group  will
   provide  the  basic  services related to  the  following  five
   phases  of  the  development and construction of  the  Casino:
   Schematic    Design    Phase,   Design   Development    Phase,
   Construction  Documents Phase, Bidding or  Negotiation  Phase,
   and  the Construction phase.  The compensation for these basic
   services  is  time and materials estimated to be approximately
   $2 million.
   
   The  Partnership  has  entered into  numerous  agreements  and
   financial   commitments  for  the  construction  of  leasehold
   improvements  as  well as to promote the economic  development
   of  the City of East Chicago that must be completed whether or
   not  an owner's license is issued to the Partnership.  In  the
   event  an  owner's license is not issued, the  fulfillment  of
   these  commitments  as well as the realization  of  the  costs
   already expended could have a material adverse impact  on  the
   financial  condition, results of operations and  liquidity  of
   the Partnership.
   
 (4)    PARTNERS' CAPITAL
   
   Showboat,  beneficial  owner of 55% of  the  Partnership,  has
   committed  to  a  standby equity commitment  of  up  to  $30.0
   million  and  a  completion guarantee of up to $30.0  million.
   The terms of these agreements are as follows:
   
   The  standby equity commitment provides that if during any  of
   the  first three full four-quarter periods after the riverboat
   is  operating  the Partnership's combined cash  flow  is  less

                            10

<PAGE>

   than  $35.0  million  for  any such full  fiscal  four-quarter
   period,  Showboat  will  cause to  be  contributed  additional
   capital  contributions that will result in net  cash  proceeds
   to  the  Partnership  of not less than the difference  between
   $35.0  million  and  the combined cash flow  for  the  period;
   provided,  however,  that  in  no  event  shall  Showboat   be
   required  to  cause to be contributed more than $15.0  million
   in  respect of any one such full fiscal four-quarter period or
   more than $30.0 million in the aggregate.
   
   Showboat  has  also  agreed  to  complete  the  East   Chicago
   Showboat so that it becomes  operating and will guarantee  the
   payment  of  all project costs owing prior to such completion.
   The   completion   guarantee  will  be  subject   to   certain
   limitations,  qualifications and exceptions.  This  obligation
   goes  into  effect  only in the event there  are  insufficient
   funds  to  meet  the  costs  of developing,  constructing  and
   opening  the  East  Chicago Showboat and is limited  to  $30.0
   million in the aggregate.
   
(5)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     As  discussed  in  Note  3, the East  Chicago  Showboat  has
     entered  into  a construction contracts with Tonn  &  Blank,
     Inc.  in  joint venture with KLM Construction, Inc. for  the
     purpose   of   serving  as  general  contractors   for   the
     development.   Nikos   Kefolidis,   the  President  of  KLM,
     beneficially owns 3.0% of the Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION  
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

The   operations  of  Showboat  Marina  Casino  Partnership  (the
"Partnership"),   and   of  Showboat  Marina   Partnership   (the
"Predecessor"), which contributed all of its assets  (except  for
the  capital  stock  of East Chicago Second  Century,  Inc.)  and
liabilities  to the Partnership as of March 28, 1996,  have  been
limited  to applying for appropriate gaming licenses and securing
the  land  for,  arranging for construction  of,  finalizing  the
design of, and developing and obtaining financing for a riverboat
gaming  complex  (the  "East Chicago  Showboat").   East  Chicago
Showboat will contain approximately 51,000 square feet of  gaming
space with approximately 1,700 slot machines and approximately 86
table games.  The land based facility is expected to consist of a
pavilion,  garage  and  surface parking.  The  pavilion  will  be
approximately   100,000   square  feet   and   will   include   a
buffet/coffee shop, lounge, gift shop, ticket/promotions area  as
well  as  administrative offices.  The current design includes  a
1,000  space parking garage and 1,500 space surface parking.  The
Partnership is currently evaluating the expansion of  the  garage
by  800 spaces and connecting the garage directly to the pavilion
prior  to  opening.   Subject to obtaining the  necessary  gaming
licenses,  other  permits and financing, the Partnership  expects
gaming operations at East Chicago Showboat to commence by July 1,
1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  Partnership is in the development stage and has  capitalized
all  costs,  except for some interest expense.  Accordingly,  the
Partnership  does not have any historical operating  income.  The
Finance  Corporation is wholly-owned by the Partnership  and  was
incorporated  to  assist the Partnership in  financing  the  East
Chicago  Showboat.   The capitalized costs consist  primarily  of
land  improvements, economic development payments, vessel  design
and  legal,  audit,  consulting and design  fees,  financing  and
commitment  fees,  interest  on  qualifying  assets,  and  gaming
application  fees,  all associated with the development  of  East
Chicago Showboat. The Partnership anticipates that the results of
its  first twelve months of operations will be adversely affected
by  expensing of preopening costs and should not be indicative of
future  operations. Future operating results will be  subject  to
significant   business,  economic,  regulatory  and   competitive
uncertainties  and contingencies, many of which  are  beyond  the
control  of the Partnership. While the Partnership believes  that
East Chicago Showboat will be able to attract a sufficient number
of  customers  and  achieve the level of  activity  necessary  to
permit the Partnership and the Finance Corporation to meet  their
payment obligations in connection with the Notes, there can be no
assurance with respect thereto.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Since   its  inception,  the  Partnership  has  met  its  capital
requirements through the $39.0 million capital contribution  (the
"Capital Contribution") and the $134.4 million net proceeds  from
the  offering  (the  "Offering") of its 13 1/2%  Series  A  First
Mortgage  Notes  due 2003 (the "Old Notes"). The  $195.0  million
necessary   to   fund  the  design,  development,   construction,
equipping and opening of East Chicago Showboat is expected to  be
derived from the Capital Contribution,

                               12
                                
<PAGE>

the  proceeds from the Offering, and approximately $16.0  million
of  capital  lease  financing which capital  lease  financing  is
currently   being  negotiated  with  third  parties.   Management
believes  that  it  has  sufficient  sources  of  funds  for  the
construction of the East Chicago Showboat.  The funds provided by
these  sources  are  expected to be  sufficient  to  develop  and
commence operations of East Chicago Showboat. However, there  can
be  no  assurance  that  such funds will be  sufficient  for  the
development  and  construction  of  East  Chicago  Showboat.  The
Partnership  has  entered  into fixed  price  contracts  for  the
construction of the casino vessel and other portions of the  East
Chicago Showboat. Fixed or guaranteed maximum price contracts are
subject to price adjustments if the plans and specifications  are
changed. The unspent portion of the Capital Contribution and  the
net  proceeds of the Offering have been deposited into the Escrow
Account  and  invested in cash equivalents and will be  disbursed
pursuant  to  the  Escrow  and  Disbursement  Agreement  for  the
construction   of   East   Chicago  Showboat.    Showboat,   Inc.
("Showboat")  has  entered  into  a  completion  guarantee   (the
"Completion  Guarantee") committing up to $30.0 million,  subject
to   certain  exceptions,  qualifications  and  limitations,   to
complete  the  Minimum Facilities (as defined in  the  Completion
Guarantee).  Showboat also provided the standby equity commitment
pursuant  to  which it has agreed to cause to be made  up  to  an
aggregate of $30.0 million in additional capital contributions to
the  Partnership  during  the first  three  Operating  Years  (as
defined  in  the standby equity commitment) if the  Partnership's
Combined  Cash Flow (as defined in the standby equity commitment)
does  not  reach  $35.0 million in any one such  Operating  Year,
subject  to  certain terms and conditions; however, in  no  event
shall  Showboat be required to contribute more than $15.0 million
in respect of any one such Operating Year.

The following table sets forth the estimated sources and uses  of
funds  for the construction of East Chicago Showboat through  its
expected  opening date of July 1, 1997 (in millions) as  adjusted
through the first budget amendment effective as of June 18, 1996.

The  Old Notes were issued under the Note Indenture dated  as  of
the Closing Date between the Partnership, the Finance Corporation
and  American  Bank  National Association  as  Trustee  (in  such
capacity, the "Trustee" or "Registrar").  In connection with  the
Offering,  the Partnership and Finance Corporation  committed  to
file  a  registration  statement  to  register  the Partnership's
13 1/2%  Series  B   First   Mortgage   Notes   due   2003   (the
"New  Notes")  and exchange the Old Notes for the New Notes.  The
Old  Notes  and  the  New  Notes  were exchanged as of August 12,
1996.  The form and terms of  the  New Notes are identical in all
material respects to  the form and terms of the Old Notes, except
that (i) the New  Notes have been registered under the Securities
Act (ii) holders of New Notes  are not be  entitled to liquidated
damages which  had  been payable in the event that a registration
statement had not been filed and became effective as of a certain
date (iii) holders  of New Notes  will not be entitled to certain
rights  intended  for  the  holders  of  unregistered securities.
Hereafter,  the  Old Notes and  the  New Notes  shall be referred
to as the Notes.

The Notes mature on March 15, 2003.  Interest payment dates under
the Notes are March 15 and September 15, commencing September 15,
1996.    The  Notes  are  senior  secured  obligations   of   the
Partnership.  The Notes rank PARI PASSU, or on a parity with,  in
right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness
of  the  Partnership and senior in right of payment to all future
Subordinated  Indebtedness  of the Partnership.   The  Notes  are
without recourse to the general partners of the Partnership or to
Showboat.

The  Notes  may be redeemed at the option of the Partnership,  in
whole or in part, at any time on and after March 15, 2000, at the
redemption  prices set forth in the Note Indenture, plus  accrued
and  unpaid  interest  and liquidated damages  thereon,  if  any,
through the redemption date.

Upon  a  Change  of Control, each holder of Notes will  have  the
right  to  require the Partnership to repurchase all or  part  of
such  holder's  Notes at a price equal to 101% of  the  aggregate
principal  amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid  interest  and
liquidated  damages thereon, if any, to the date  of  repurchase.
The  Note Indenture contains certain covenants that, among  other
things,  limit the ability of the Partnership and its  Restricted
Subsidiaries   to   incur  additional  Indebtedness   and   issue
Disqualified  Stock,  pay dividends or make other  distributions,
repurchase Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness,  engage
in  certain lease transactions, create certain liens, enter  into
transactions with affiliates, sell assets, issue or sell  certain
Equity Interests of the Partnership's subsidiaries or enter  into
certain mergers and consolidations.

Following   the  commencement  of  operations  of  East   Chicago
Showboat,  the  Partnership expects to fund  its  operating  debt
service  and capital needs from operating cash flow.  Based  upon
the   Partnership's  anticipated  future  operations,  management
believes  that  available cash flow from East Chicago  Showboat's
future  operations, together with the proceeds from the  offering
and  the  capital  contribution, will be  adequate  to  meet  the
Partnership's   anticipated  future  requirements   for   working
capital, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of principal
of  and interest and liquidated damages, if any, on the Notes for
the  foreseeable future. No assurance can be given, however, that
operating  cash  flow will be sufficient for that  purpose.   The
Partnership intends to establish initial working capital reserves
to provide for anticipated short-term liquidity  needs.  Although
no additional  financial is  contemplated,  the  Partnership will
seek,  if  necessary  and  to  the  extent  permitted  under  the
Indenture, additional  financing through bank borrowings, debt or

                               14
                                
<PAGE>

equity  financings.  There  can be no assurance  that  additional
financing,  if  needed, will be available to the Partnership,  or
that,  if available, the financing will be on terms favorable  to
the  Partnership.  There is no assurance that  the  Partnership's
estimate  of  its  reasonably  anticipated  liquidity  needs   is
accurate  or  that new business developments or other  unforeseen
events  will not occur, resulting in the need to raise additional
funds.

COSTS EXPENDED TO DATE

Through  June  30,  1996, approximately $42.4  million  had  been
expended  on  development of the East Chicago Showboat  of  which
approximately  $2.4 million had been expended  on  licensing  and
organizational  costs, and approximately $1.2  million  had  been
expended  on  economic  development  costs  as  required  by  the
Company's letter agreement with the City of East Chicago.

SEASONALITY

The   Partnership  has  no  operating  history.  The  Partnership
anticipates  that  activity  at East  Chicago  Showboat  will  be
affected  by  weather conditions and that the  heaviest  activity
will  be  from May through September rather than October  through
April    when   East   Chicago   experiences   harsher   weather.
Accordingly,   the  Partnership's  results  of   operations   may
fluctuate from quarter to quarter and the results for any  fiscal
quarter  may  not  be  indicative of results  for  future  fiscal
quarters.

(b)  On July 15, 1996, the Showboat Marina Casino Partnership and
Showboat Marina Finance Corporation (collectively, the "Company")
offered  (the  "Exchange Offer"), subject to  certain  terms  and
conditions, to exchange $1,000 in principal amount of its 13 1/2%
Series B First Mortgage Notes due 2003 (the "New Notes") for each
$1,000 in principal amount of its  outstanding  13 1/2%  Series A
First  Mortgage  Notes due  2003 (the "Old  Notes"),  of which an
aggregate principal amount of $140.0 million was outstanding.

     Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Company agreed to
accept  for  exchange  any and all Old  Notes  that  are  validly
tendered  prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on  August  12,
1996  and on such date all Old Notes were exchanged for  the  New
Notes. The Exchange Offer was subject to the terms and provisions
of  the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 28,  1996
(the  "Registration  Rights Agreement")  among  the  Company  and
Donaldson,  Lufkin  &  Jenrette  Securities  Corporation,  Nomura
Securities  International, Inc. and  Bear,  Stearns  &  Co.  Inc.
(collectively the "Initial Purchasers").

     The  Old  Notes  were, and the New Notes also  were,  issued
under  the  Indenture  dated as of March  28,  1996  between  the
Company  and  American Bank National Association as  Trustee  (in
such capacity, the "Trustee" or "Registrar").  The form and terms
of  the  New Notes are identical in all material respects to  the
form  and  terms of the Old Notes, except that (i) the New  Notes
were registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not
bear  legends restricting the transfer thereof, (ii)  holders  of
New   Notes  are  not  entitled  to  certain  liquidated  damages
otherwise  payable  under the Registration  Rights  Agreement  in
respect  of Old Notes held by such holders during any  period  in
which  a registration statement has not been filed and/or is  not
effective  and  (iii) holders of New Notes are  not  entitled  to
certain  rights under the Registration Rights Agreement  intended
for the holders of unregistered securities.

10.1  Those  portions  of the Work that the Contractor  does  not
customarily perform with the Contractor's own personnel shall  be
performed  under subcontracts or by other appropriate  agreements
with  the  Contractor.   The Contractor shall  obtain  bids  from

fabricated especially for the Work and shall deliver such bids to
the Architect.  The Owner will then determine, with the advice of
the  Contractor  and subject to the reasonable objection  of  the
Architect, which bids will be accepted.  The Owner may  designate
specific  persons  or  entities from whom  the  Contractor  shall
obtain  bids;  however, if a Guaranteed Maximum  Price  has  been
established,  the  Owner  may not prohibit  the  Contractor  from
obtaining bids from others.  The Contractor shall not be required
to  contract  with anyone to whom the Contractor  has  reasonable
objection.

specific  bidder  among those whose bids  are  delivered  by  the
Contractor  to the Architect (1) is recommended to the  Owner  by
the  Contractor; (2) is qualified to perform that portion of  the
Work;  and  (3)  has  submitted  a  bid  which  conforms  to  the
requirements  of  the Contract Documents without reservations  or
exceptions, but the Owner requires that another bid be  accepted;
then the Contractor may require that a Change Order be issued  to
adjust the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the difference between the
bid  of  the  person or entity recommended to the  Owner  by  the
Contractor  and the amount of the subcontract or other  agreement
actually  signed  with  the person or entity  designated  by  the
Owner.

10.3  Subcontracts  or  other agreements  shall  conform  to  the
payment provisions of Paragraphs 12.7 and 12.8, and shall not  be

obtain  no  less  than  two (2) additional  bids  from  qualified
Subcontractors  acceptable to the Owner.  The Contractor,  or  an
Affiliate,  shall be permitted to perform such trade  Work  on  a
lump  sum basis only if the Owner consents thereto in writing  at
THE OWNER'S DISCRETION.

objection  or recommendation of either the Owner or the Architect
that   is  consistent  with  the  requirements  of  the  Contract
Documents.   Such  revised  Draft shall  be  resubmitted  by  the

Owners  payment.   Owner  will  use  best  effort  to  facilitate
PAYMENT.

12.4  With  each  Application for Payment  the  Contractor  shall

the Contractor on account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed

Contractor's Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the
present  Application for Payment; plus (4) retainage provided  in

B  Sum,  less amounts, if any, for incomplete Work and  unsettled

<PAGE>

additional   amounts  payable  on  account   of   Work   of   the
Subcontractor  in  accordance with  Subparagraph  9.10.3  of  the
General Conditions.

Upon  certification of the Architect of the satisfactory,  timely
completion  of  50%  of the "Work," there  shall  be  no  further
deduction of "Retainage" from subsequent progress payments.   The
determination of "timely completion of 50% of the  work"  by  the
Architect  shall  be based on the Architects's  judgment  of  the
Contractor's ability to substantially complete all of the work by
the  date  set out in retainage and may do so at any  time  after
completion of 50% of the work.

The  Subcontract  Sum  is  the total  amount  stipulated  in  the

Documents and the General Conditions of this Agreement have  been

RETAINAGE ESCROW AGREEMENT.

not make advance payments to suppliers for materials or equipment
which have not been delivered and stored at the site.

12.9  In  taking  action  on  the  Contractor's  Application  for

and completeness of the information furnished by the Contract and
shall  not be deemed to represent that the Architect has  made  a
detailed  examination, audit or arithmetic  verification  of  the
documentation  submitted in accordance  with  paragraph  12.4  or
other supporting data; that the Architect has made exhaustive  or
continuous  on-site  inspections or that the Architect  has  made
examinations to ascertain how or for what purposes the Contractor
has  used  amounts  previously paid on account of  the  Contract.
Such examinations, audits and

                               40

<PAGE>

verifications, if required by the owner, will be performed by the
Owner's accountants acting in the sole interest of the Owner.

                            ARTICLE 13
                          FINAL PAYMENT

13.1  Final  payment shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor
when  (1) the Contract has been fully performed by the Contractor
except  for the Contractor's responsibility to correct  defective
or  nonconforming Work, as provided in Subparagraph 12.2.2 of the
General  Conditions, and to satisfy other requirements,  if  any,
which  necessarily survive final payment; (2) a final Application
for  Payment and a final accounting for the Cost of the Work have
been  submitted  by the Contractor and reviewed  by  the  Owner's
accountants;  and  (3) a final Certificate for Payment  has  then
been issued by the Architect; such final payment shall be made by
the  owner  not  more  than 30 days after  the  issuance  of  the
Architect's final Certificate for Payment, or as follows:

13.2  The  amount  of the final payment shall  be  calculated  as
follows:

13.2.1 Take the sum of the Cost of the Work substantiated by  the
Contractor's final accounting; and the Contractor's Fee;

13.2.2   Subtract  amounts,  if  any,  for  which  the  Architect
withholds, in whole or n part, a final Certificate for Payment as
provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1 of the General Conditions or other
provisions of the Contract Documents.

13.2.3  Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made  by  the
Owner.

If  the  aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner exceeds
the amount due the Contractor, the Contractor shall reimburse the
difference to the Owner.

13.3 The Owner's accountants will review and report in writing on
the  Contractor's final accounting within 30 days after  delivery
of  the  final  accounting to the Architect  by  the  Contractor.
Based  upon  such  Cost  of the Work as the  Owner's  accountants
report  to be substantiated by the Contractor's final accounting,
and  provided  the other conditions of Paragraph 13.1  have  been
met,  the Architect will, within seven days after receipt of  the
written  report of the Owner's accountants, either issue  to  the
Owner  a  final  Certificate for Payments  with  a  copy  to  the
Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of  the
Architect's reasons for

                               41

<PAGE>

withholding a certificate as provided in Subparagraph   9.5.1  of
the  General  Conditions.  The time periods stated  in  Paragraph
13.3  supersede those stated in Subparagraph 9.4.1 of the General
Conditions.

13.4  If  the Owner's accountants report the Cost of the work  as
substantiated  by the Contractor's final accounting  to  be  less
than  claimed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled
to  demand  arbitration of the disputed amount without a  further
decision of the Architect.  Such demand for arbitration shall  be
made  by  the  Contractor within 30 days after  the  Contractor's
receipt  of  a  copy  of the Architects's final  Certificate  for
payment; failure to demand arbitration within this 30-day  period
shall  result in the substantiated amount reported by the Owner's
accountants becoming binding on the Contractor.  Pending a  final
resolution by arbitration, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the
amount  certified  in  the  Architect's  final  Certificate   for
Payment.

13.5  If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner's request,
the  Contractor  incurs costs described  in  Article  7  and  not
excluded by Article 8 to correct defective or nonconforming Work,
the  Owner  shall  reimburse the Contractor such  costs  and  the
Contractor's Fee applicable thereto on the same basis as if  such
costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess
of  the Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any.  If the Contractor  has
participated in savings as provided in paragraph 5.2, the  amount
of  such  savings  shall be recalculated and  appropriate  credit
given  to the Owner in determining the net amount to be  paid  by
the Owner to the Contractor.

CONTRACTOR).

OWNER and CONTRACTOR, for and in consideration of the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, agree as follows:


Article 1.     WORK.

CONTRACTOR shall complete all Work as specified or indicated in
the Contract Documents. The Work is generally described as
follows:

                Breakwaters, Basin Dredging, and,

final payment in accordance with paragraph 14.13 of the General
Conditions on or before April 15, 1997.

3.2  Liquidated Damages. OWNER and CONTRACTOR recognize that time
is of the essence of this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer
financial loss if the Work is not completed within the times

remaining Work within the Contract Time or any proper extension
thereof granted by OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER One Thousand
