                     Report of Independent Accountants
                     ---------------------------------


To the Stockholder of Waterford Gaming Finance Corp.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Waterford
Gaming Finance Corp. ("the Company") as of June 30, 1999, and the related
condensed statements of operations and retained earnings (deficit) for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related condensed
statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
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 accompanying financial statements 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, 1998, and the related
statements of operations and retained earnings (deficit) and cash flows for
the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
February 24, 1999, 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, 1998, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                    WATERFORD GAMING FINANCE CORP.

               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             (Unaudited)
                              ----------


1.  Basis of Presentation:

    The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have
    been prepared in accordance with the policies described in
    the Company's 1998 audited financial statements and should be
    read in conjunction with the Company's 1998 audited financial
    statements within the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal
    year ended December 31, 1998 on Form 10-K/A as filed with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") File
    No. 333-17795-01 on March 8, 1999.  The condensed Balance
    Sheet at December 31, 1998, contained herein, was derived
    from audited financial statements, but does not include all
    disclosures contained in the Form 10-K/A and required by
    generally accepted accounting principles.

    The unaudited condensed interim financial statements include
    normal and recurring adjustments which, are in the opinion of
    management, necessary to present a fair statement of
    financial position as of June 30, 1999, and the results of
    operations and retained earnings (deficit) for the three
    months and six months ended June 30, 1999 and cash flows for
    the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Results of operations
    for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results
    to be expected for the full year.

   The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waterford Gaming,
   L.L.C. ("Gaming").  Effective as of May 15, 1997, the Company
   functioned as a co-issuer with its parent, Gaming, to issue
   $65 Million 12-3/4% senior notes payable (the "$65 Million
   Senior Notes").  The $65 Million Senior Notes were redeemed
   as part of the Company's and Gaming's $125 Million 9-1/2%
   senior notes (the "$125 Million Senior Notes") offering which
   was completed on March 17, 1999.

                                 6



2. $125 Million 9-1/2% Senior Notes

   On March 17, 1999, the Company and Gaming, issued $125
   Million Senior Notes, which mature March 15, 2010.  Payment
   of the principal of, and interest on, the $125 Million Senior
   Notes is subordinate in right of payment to all their
   existing and future secured debts.

   Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and
   September 15 at a rate of 9-1/2% per annum commencing on
   September 15, 1999.

   The principal amount of the $125 Million Senior Notes is
   payable on March 15, 2010.  The Company and Gaming may elect
   to redeem the $125 Million Senior Notes at any time after
   March 14, 2004 at a redemption price equal to a percentage
   (105.182% after March 15, 2004 and declining to 104.318%
   after March 15, 2005, 103.455% after March 15, 2006, 102.591%
   after March 15, 2007, 101.727% after March 15, 2008, 100.864%
   after March 15, 2009 and to 100% after March 15, 2010) of the
   principal amount thereof plus accrued interest.  The $125
   Million Senior Notes provide that upon the occurrence of a
   Change of Control (as defined), the holders thereof will have
   the option to require the redemption of the $125 Million
   Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the
   principal amount thereof plus accrued interest.

   If the Company and Gaming have any excess cash, as defined,
   they must redeem the $125 Million Senior Notes (on a semi-
   annual basis on March 15 and September 15) equal to a
   percentage (109.500% after March 15, 1999 and declining to
   108.636% after March 15, 2000, 107.773% after March 15, 2001,
   106.909% after March 15, 2002, 106.045% after March 15, 2003,
   105.182% after March 15, 2004, 104.318% after March 15, 2005,
   103.455% after March 15, 2006, 102.591% after March 15, 2007,
   101.727% after March 15, 2008, 100.864% after March 15, 2009
   and to 100% after March 15, 2010).  In some circumstances, if
   either Gaming or its partner in Trading Cove Associates
   ("TCA") exercises the option to buy or sell partnership
   interests in TCA, the Company and Gaming must redeem the $125
   Million Senior Notes.

   The indenture relating to the $125 Million Senior Notes (the
   "Indenture") contains certain affirmative and negative
   covenants customarily contained in agreements of this type,
   including without limitation, covenants that restrict,
   subject to specified exceptions the Company's and Gaming's
   ability to (i) borrow money, (ii) pay dividends on stock or
   make certain other restricted payments, (iii) use assets as
   security in other transactions, (iv) make investments, (v)
   sell other assets or merge with other companies and (vi)
   engage in any business except as currently conducted or
   contemplated or amend their relationship with
   TCA.  The Indenture also provides for customary events of
   default and the establishment of a restricted investment fund
   with a trustee for interest reserves.

Item 1  -- Legal Proceedings:
           ------------------

On December 24, 1998, Leisure Resort Technology, Inc. ("Leisure")
wrote a letter to TCA asserting that TCA and/or certain of TCA's
partners breached various fiduciary duties to Leisure and that
TCA's conduct in negotiating the prior settlement constituted a
violation of the anti-fraud provisions of both federal and
Connecticut securities laws, as well as violations of other laws.
Gaming believes that if such claims are pursued, it has
meritorious defenses; however, no litigation has been filed to
date and no assurance can be given that any ultimate claim will
