                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Wells-Gardner Electronics Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets acquired of the
mechanical coin door business of Coin Controls, Inc. at September 30, 1996 and
1997 and the related statements of revenues and certain expenses for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management of
Coin Controls, Inc. 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 assets acquired of the mechanical coin door
business of Coin Controls, Inc. at September 30, 1996 and 1997, and its revenues
and certain expenses (see note 2(a)) for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

MECHANICAL COIN DOOR BUSINESS OF
COIN CONTROLS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 1996 and 1997

(Dollars in thousands)


(1)     BUSINESS

        On June 5, 1998, Wells-Gardner Electronics Corporation ("Wells-Gardner")
        acquired the mechanical coin door business of Coin Controls, Inc. ("the
        Business"). The Business consists of the US manufacturing service and
        sales and marketing of mechanical coin doors. Coin doors are sold to the
        coin-operated video games, pinball, and redemption markets. Under the
        terms of the agreement, Wells-Gardner acquired inventory, machinery and
        plant equipment, tooling, and certain contract rights (e.g. open
        purchase and sales orders).

 (2)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        (a)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying statements of assets acquired at September 30, 1996 and
        1997 and statements of revenues and certain expenses for the years then
        ended were prepared from the books and records maintained by Coin
        Controls, Inc. ("Coin Controls"), a subsidiary of Coin Controls, Ltd.
        ("the Parent"), of which the mechanical coin door business is a product
        group. The statements of revenues and certain expenses do not include
        charges for interest, taxes or corporate overhead.

        In preparing the statements of revenues and certain expenses, some costs
        and expenses of Coin Controls were allocated to the Business on various
        bases, including relative sales of the Business to all sales of Coin
        Controls, personnel, and estimated time spent on the Business. Such
        allocations are based on the best estimate of management of Coin
        Controls of actual expenses. In the opinion of management of Coin
        Controls, such allocations are reasonable.

        (b)   INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The financial information at March 31, 1998 and for the six months ended
        March 31, 1998 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting
        only of normal recurring adjustments) which Coin Controls considers
        necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the
        Business at such date and its revenues and certain expenses. Results of
        the six month period are not necessarily indicative of results expected
        for the entire year.

        (c)   INVENTORIES

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined on a
        first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The components of inventory are valued
        at actual cost and include material, freight, labor and overhead.

        (d)   EQUIPMENT AND TOOLING

        Equipment and tooling is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
        the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
        assets (machinery and plant equipment-5 years; tooling-5 years).

        (e)   USE OF ESTIMATES

        Management of Coin Controls has made estimates and assumptions relating
        to the reporting of assets to prepare these financial statements in
        conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results
        could differ from those estimates.

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March
31, 1998 present the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company
assuming the acquisition of the mechanical coin door business ("Business") had
been consummated as of the beginning of each period.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto previously filed on Form 10-K and the Business' financial
statements and notes thereto included in Item 7 (a) of this Form 8-K/A. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not
necessarily reflect actual results which may have occurred if the acquisition
had taken place as of the beginning of each period, nor are they necessarily
indicative of the results of future combined operations.

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1

Effective June 5, 1998, Registrant purchased certain of the assets of Coin
Controls, Inc. ("Coin Controls"), an Illinois corporation, and Coin Controls
Limited ("Limited"), a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom
and sole shareholder of Coin Controls, for an aggregate purchase price of
$3,350,000, payable in cash ("Mechanical Coin Door Business").

The purchase price of this transaction was paid out of proceeds from
Registrant's Installment Note ("Note") pursuant to the Loan Agreement by and
between Registrant and American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago dated
June 5, 1998.

Certain of the assets acquired pursuant to this transaction constitute equipment
or other physical property used by Coin Controls and Limited in its business as
designers and manufacturers of coin doors and related mechanical mechanism
products. The Registrant will continue to use these assets for the same purpose.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
preliminary allocation of the purchase price represents an estimate of the fair
values of the assets acquired, including estimated professional fees and other
acquisition expenses expected to be incurred. The excess of the purchase price
over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired has been recorded as
goodwill. This preliminary allocation of purchase price is subject to further
adjustments; however, the Company does not expect the estimated values to change
materially upon finalization of the allocation of the purchase price.

The pro forma adjustments reflect the following:

(a) Represents the intangible assets acquired, the assumed borrowings to
consummate the purchase, and the resulting goodwill.

(b) Represents the amortization of goodwill on a straight-line basis over 20
years.

(c) Represents the amortization of intangible assets acquired on a straight-line
basis over the 5 year life.

(d) Represents interest expense on assumed borrowings to consummate the purchase
based on the terms of the Note.
