                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Members of Waterford Gaming, L.L.C.:

We have reviewed the condensed balance sheet of Waterford Gaming, L.L.C. 
(the "Company") as of March 31, 1997, and the related condensed statements of 
operations, changes in members' deficiency and cash flows for the 
three-month period ended March 31, 1997.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim 
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures 
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of 
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, and the 
related statements of operations, changes in members' equity (deficiency)
and cash flows for the period from September 30, 1996 (commencement of 
operations) to December 31, 1996 (not presented herein); and in our report 
dated April 11, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial 
statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the condensed 
balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material 
respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                                                    COOPERS & LYBRAND, L.L.P.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
        and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Company's
financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere 
herein.

Development and Operational Activities

The operation of the Company or its predecessors in its role
as a managing general partner of Trading Cove Associates
(the "Manager") has been to negotiate the Management
Agreement (as defined below), to assist the Mohegan Tribe of 
Indians of Connecticut (the "Tribe") and the Mohegan Tribal 
Gaming Authority (the "Authority") in obtaining federal
recognition, negotiate the tribal-state compact with the
State of Connecticut, obtain financing for the development
of the Mohegan Sun Casino (the "Mohegan Sun") located in 
Uncasville, Connecticut, and participate in the design and 
development of the Mohegan Sun which commenced operations on 
October 8, 1996.  Since the opening of the Mohegan Sun, the 
Company has overseen the Mohegan Sun's day-to-day operations.

Overview of Current and Future Cash Flows

The Company expects to fund its operating debt service
and capital needs from cash flows from the Management
Agreement and Subordinated Notes (to the extent interest or
Additional Amounts as defined are payable in cash on the Subordinated 
Notes and to the extent of principal payments on the 
Subordinated Notes) and from amounts in the Company's cash collateral
account (the "Cash Collateral Account").  Based upon the Company's 
anticipated future operations, management believes that available cash 
flow will be sufficient for that purpose.  The following is a summary 
of the cash flows of the Company. 

For the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the
Company received $1,050,000 in cash distributions from the
Manager and $1,350,000 was due from the Manager, which
represented its share of approximately $5,213,964 in net
management fees earned by the Manager from the Authority
pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement for the
same period.  The actual amount of management fees earned by
the Manager for any annual period are subject to year-end
adjustment, as set forth below.

Sources of Revenues.  The Company has two primary sources
of revenues:  distributions on its partnership interest in
the Manager and payments on the Subordinated Notes.

                                  9





Pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and the Tribe,
the Manager manages the Mohegan Sun for a management fee under
a seven year management agreement (the "Management Agreement").
The Manager will have only one source of revenue, management 
fees under the Management Agreement.  The Management fees are 
calculated in three tiers based upon Net Revenues of the Mohegan
Sun set forth below (in thousands):

                          I              II                III
                     40% of net     Revenues in        Revenues in
                      Revenues      Tier I plus        Tiers I & II
                        up to       35% of Net         plus 30% of
                                     Revenues          Net Revenues 
                                      between             above

Year 1........        $50,546     $50,547-$63,183         $63,183

Year 2........        $73,115     $73,116-$91,934         $91,394

Year 3........        $91,798     $91,799-$114,747       $114,747

Year 4........        $95,693     $95,694-$119,616       $119,616

Year 5........       $104,107    $104,108-$130,134       $130,134

Year 6 (subject to                                               
Buyout Option)...    $114,335    $114,336-$142,919       $142,919

Year 7 (subject to                                                 
Buyout Option)...    $130,944    $130,945-$163,680       $163,680


The monthly management fee payments are calculated against
1/12th of the amounts set forth above, and then adjusted annually
within 60 days of the close of the fiscal year.  This annual
adjustment might or might not have a material effect on cash
flow.  As defined in the Management Agreement,  "Net Revenues" of
the Mohegan Sun means the amount of the Gross Revenues of  the
facility less operating expenses and certain specified categories
of revenue, such as income from any financing or refinancing,
taxes or charges received from patrons on behalf of and remitted
to a governmental entity, proceeds from the sale of capital
assets, insurance proceeds and interest on the Reserve Fund.  Net
Revenues also include Net Gaming Revenues, which are equal to the
amount of the `net win" from Class III Gaming operations (i.e.,
the difference between gaming wins and losses) less all gaming-
related operational expenses (excluding the Management Fee).
Within 25 days after the end of each calendar month, the Manager
is required to calculate and report to the Tribe, the gross 
revenues, operating expenses and net revenues.

In addition, the Manager is required to fund $1.2 million
per year ($100,000 per month) from its management fees into a
capital replacement reserve.  The Management Agreement has a term
of seven years that commenced upon the opening of the Mohegan
Sun, subject to a right of the Authority to buy-out the
Management Agreement after the fifth year.  If the Management
Agreement is bought out after the fifth year, the Company will
use its share of the proceeds to redeem Notes.

                                 10




Upon receipt of the Management Fee, the Manager is required
to make a number of different types of payments to its subcontractors.
The subcontracts are primarily with its partners or their affiliates.
Some of these payments are one-time non-recurring payments (the
"Non-recurring Payments") and others are required on a continuing
basis (the "Continuing Payments").  The payments marked with an
asterisk below are Non-recurring Payments and the others are
Continuing Payments.  One of the considerations used by the NIGC
in  determining whether or not to approve a management contract
is whether the Manager is providing a portion of the capital
required.  Accordingly, the Manager agreed to provide or cause to
be provided $40 million of capital in the form of the
Subordinated Notes.  However, at the time that the subordinated
loan was made, the partners of the Manager, including the
Company's predecessors-in-interest, did not participate in the
loan in accordance with their economic interests in the Manager.
Therefore, the partners of the Manager agreed that those entities
who participated in funding the Subordinated Notes would be
entitled to financing fees (the "Additional Amounts") as a priority
allocation of the Management Fee to compensate those entities for the
additional risk of funding the Subordinated Notes.  The
Additional Amounts represent a priority payment of available 
cash by the Manager.  If every partner of the Manager
participated in the Subordinated Notes to the extent of its pro
rata economic interest in the Manager, then the Additional
Amounts would have no economic effect on the partners.  Such
payments by the Manager, along with the allocation of the other
Management Fees, are to compensate the recipients for the
subcontracted services provided by them to the Mohegan Sun, including
compensation for the provision of capital resources, and to
provide the initial investors in the Mohegan Sun with a return of
capital for their initial investment.

The following table sets forth the priority of the distribution 
of the Management Fee from the Manager to its Partners:

   * 1. Return of capital contributions made after September 24,
1995.  These capital contributions aggregated $2.2 million and
are to be repaid to the partners, 50% to the Company and 50% to
Sun Cove Ltd.  These capital contributions were deemed returned at
the consummation of the offering of the Notes upon the distribution
by the Manager of the $1.7 million in principal amount of Original
Subordinated Notes together with accrued interest and accrued
Additional Amounts and a cash distribution totalling $275,000,
50% to Sun Cove Ltd. and 50% to the Company.

     2. Payment of an amount equal to 11 1/2% per annum on the
Original Subordinated Notes. These payments will be made semi-annually 
to the holders of the Original Subordinated Notes, 50% to the Company 
and 50% to Sun International.

     3. Payment of an amount equal to the difference between 26
1/2% and the reference rate of Chase Manhattan Bank plus 1.0% on
the first $15.0 million advanced under the Completion Guarantee
(the "First Tranche Completion Guarantee Subordinated Notes").
This amount will be paid semi-annually pari passu with the
amounts under paragraph 4.  Upon funding of the First Tranche
Completion Guarantee Subordinated Notes, this amount will be paid
to Sun International.  However, these amounts become payable to
the Company as it purchases its share of the First Tranche
Completion Guarantee Subordinated Notes over three years.

     4. Payment of an amount equal to the reference rate of
Chase Manhattan Bank plus 1.0% on the First Tranche Completion
Guarantee Subordinated Notes to the extent the Authority is not
permitted to pay interest thereon.  This amount will be paid semi-
annually pari passu with the amount under paragraph 3.  When the
Authority can pay such interest, payment under this paragraph 4
shall be reduced accordingly.  In addition, to the extent the
Manager has paid amounts otherwise payable by the Authority, the
holders will be required to repay the Manager.

                                  11



 
     5. Payment of an amount equal to the difference between 26
1/2% and the reference rate of Chase Manhattan Bank plus 1.0% on
the amounts advanced under the Completion Guarantee in excess of
the First Tranche Completion Guarantee Subordinated Notes (which
is expected to total $35.0 million) (the "Second Tranche
Completion Guarantee Subordinated Notes").  This amount is paid
semi-annually to Sun International.

   * 6. Return of capital contributions made before September 24,
1995.  These capital contributions aggregated approximately $7.0
million and are repaid to the partners, 50% to the Company and
50% to Sun Cove Ltd.  

   * 7. Payment of a Development Services Fee to Sun
International equal to 3% of total development costs (less land
acquisition costs) of the Mohegan Sun plus $25,000 (estimated to
be $8.3 million).

     8.  Payment of a monthly Management Services Fee equal to
the lesser of 1% of the gross revenues of the Mohegan Sun and 25%
of the sum of the Excess Cash of the Manager  (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) plus the Organizational and Administrative
Fee (as defined) and the Marketing and Casino Operations Fee (as
defined).  After deducting operating expenses (which will be the
following amounts:  $2.0 million if the Mohegan Sun's EBITDA (as
defined) is $200.0 million or less, $3.0 million if the Mohegan's
Sun's EBITDA is greater than $200.0 million but less than $225.0
million, and $4.0 million if the Mohegan Sun's EBITDA is greater
than $225.0 million) the remaining amounts will be distributed in
amounts equal to 50% to Sun International and the remainder to
the Company.

   * 9. Payment of a Completion Guarantee Fee to Sun
International equal to 2% of the total development costs (less
land acquisition costs) of the Mohegan Sun (approximately $5.5
million).

     10.  Payment of amount equal to the state and federal income
tax liability of the Manager as if it were an individual paying
federal income tax and the higher of Michigan or Connecticut
taxes.  This amount will be paid 50% to Sun Cove Ltd., 45% to the
Company and 5% to a former partner.

     11.  All remaining fees and Excess Cash distributed 50% to
Sun Cove Ltd., 45% to the Company and 5% to a former partner.
                                  
The Company has an obligation to purchase one-half ($7.5
million) of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
First Tranche Completion Subordinated Guarantee Notes in three
equal annual installments beginning in October 1997.

                                 12




Interest accrues on the Subordinated Notes semi-annually.
Interest is deferred (and compounds semi-annually) until the
Authority purchases or offers to purchase at least 50% of its
$175 million, 13 1/2% Authority Senior Secured Notes due 2002 
(the "Authority Senior Secured Notes") and certain fixed charge 
coverage ratios are met.  The Authority is required to
offer annually to purchase the Authority Senior Secured Notes
with the sum of (i) 50% of its Excess Cash Flow (defined as an
amount equal to the cash flow of the Authority for any given 
period, less (a) the Management Fees for such period, (b) interest
expense and principal payments on indebtedness of the Authority
for such period, (c) amount set aside in the Cash Maintenance 
Account (as defined in the indenture for the Authority Senior 
Secured Notes) for such period, (d) amounts for the payment of federal
and state taxes for such period, and (e) certain other amounts
(not to exceed $6.8 million) for such fiscal year), (ii) 100% of
the amount of Deferred Subordinated Interest (as defined in the
indenture for the Authority Senior Secured Notes) for such fiscal year
and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
closing of such Excess Cash Purchase Offer (as defined in the 
indenture for the Authority Senior Secured Notes).  If the holders of
the Authority Senior Secured Notes do not accept the offer, then
such amount of the Excess Cash must be offered to purchase the
Subordinated Notes.  In the event that the Company receives an
offer to purchase the Subordinated Notes, the Indenture requires
the Company to accept such offer in the same proportion as Sun
International.  The Authority may make an optional redemption of
the Subordinated Notes; however, such redemption, except as
detailed above, may be made only after the Authority Senior
Secured Notes have been paid in full.

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company
used approximately $25.1 million to purchase $19.2 million in
principal amount of Original Subordinated Notes of the Authority
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts.  In
addition, the Manager distributed approximately $850,000 in 
principal amount of Subordinated Notes to the Company.

     If construction costs exceed the current budget or if
additional amenities or facilities are constructed, the Manager
may determine to loan the Authority funds for such purposes,
although it does not have any obligation to do so.  The Company
currently believes that the completion costs of the Mohegan Sun
are within the current budget but construction costs may
increase, and no assurance can be given that the Authority will
be able to obtain sufficient funds if it is required to do so.  A
portion of the proceeds of the Offering of the Notes were placed 
in the Cash Collateral Account and are available to fund the
Company's share of any additional funding required by the
Manager, if any.

     At this time the Company anticipates that no further
investment is required in the Manager by the Company.

     Current Assets increased from $16,737,416 to $19,283,162 at
March 31, 1997.  The increase was primarily the result of payments
by the Manager.

     The Company has two primary sources of revenues:  Distributions
on its partnership interest in the Manager and payments on the Subordinated 
Notes.  The Company anticipates regular payments from the Manager based on 
the results of the Manager and management fee payment by the Authority.

     Current Liabilities increased from $1,273,614 to $3,334,267
at March 31, 1997.  The increase was primarily attributable to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes.

     The Company is required to purchase from Sun International 
on each October 12, 1997, October 12, 1998 and October 12, 1999 one-sixth 
of the outstanding principal amount of First Tranche Completion Guarantee 
Subordinated Notes owned by Sun International.  The purchase price which is 
to be paid by the Company to Sun International will be equal to the 
outstanding principal balance of the First Tranche Completion Guarantee
Subordinated Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
As of March 31, 1997, $15 million principal was outstanding as
First Tranche Completion Guarantee Subordinated Notes.

                                 14





     The Company believes that it will fund its current operating
expenses, debt service requirements and capital needs from cash
flows from the Manager and payments under the Subordinated Notes
(to the extent payments on the Subordinated Notes is payable in
cash and to the extent of principal payments on the Subordinated
Notes) and from amounts in the Cash Collateral Account.  Based
upon the Company's anticipated future operations, management
believes these sources will be sufficient to meet the Company's
anticipated requirements for future operating expenses and future
scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Senior
Notes.  No assurance, however, can be given that the operating
cash flow will be sufficient for that purpose.  The Mohegan Sun
has only recently begun operations and does not have a long
operating history.
