NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of sureBet Casinos Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries
(the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete corporate financial statements. However, except
as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the
information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 200 included in the Company's Annual Financial
Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with these financial statements included in Form 10-KSB. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended June
30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending March 31, 2001.
2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
During the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the periods
ended August 31, 1999 and 1998, sureBET Casinos, Inc. ("the Company")
had no operating assets and has been investigating the acquisition of
an operating business. The Company changed its name on June 24, 1999
from Wexford Technology, Incorporated. In connection with an Agreement
to Exchange Stock with U.S. Gaming and Leisure Corp. ("USG&L") (see
below), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") on March 5, 1999 with its controlling shareholder,
Imperial Petroleum, Inc. ("Imperial"). The Agreement provides that
Imperial would acquire all the assets and liabilities of the Company.
No consideration was exchanged in return for the sale of the net
liabilities of the Company. As a result of the Agreement, the Company
has no assets or liabilities as of March 31, 1999 or August 31, 1999.
Accordingly, as a result of the Company's liquidation and
abandonment of its assets and liabilities to a "shell" status, the
Company has accounted for its former operations as discontinued for all
periods presented. The common stock issued for services for the period
ended August 31, 1999 has been reported as continuing operations since
the shares were issued to new continuing management of the Company.
In connection with the Agreement to Exchange Common Stock with
USG&L, dated May 12, 1999, which is contingent on a private placement
which has not been completed, the Company will issue 6,000,000 new
common shares to stockholders of USG&L for 100% of the outstanding
shares of USG&L. As a result of the tax-free transaction, USG&L will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The owners of USG&L
obtained effective control Of the Company in July 1999 by obtaining
control of the Board of Directors of the Company. USG&L is presently in
the business of operating a cruise ship and, after a private offering
to raise additional capital, intends to also enter the gaming business.
The transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby
USG&L will be the acquiring company for accounting purposes.

<PAGE>
On June 7, 1999, there was a change in the Board of Directors of
the Company. The new board changed the Company's business strategy and
decided to enter into the casino business. On June 24, 1999, the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company were amended to change the
name of the Company to sureBET Casinos, Inc.
Under the direction of its new management, the Company intends to
develop, acquire, joint venture, manage, and operate gaming
establishments with an initial focus on water-based gaming, the
emerging gaming markets, and the rehabilitation and reorganization of
casinos that are underperforming financially.
On October 1, 1999, the Company entered into a Management
Contract with Casino Padre Investment Company, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company. Under the terms of the contract, the Company has an
exclusive agreement to operate the gaming ship M/V Entertainer and the
gaming operations located on the ship on behalf of and for the account
of Casino Padre Investment Company, LLC. On October 27, 1999, the
Company acquired 50 membership units in Casino Padre Investment Company
LLC in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of the
Company. Immediately following the transaction, the Company owned 83%
of Casino Padre Investment Company LLC. The shares were acquired from
Charles S. Liberis, the President of the Company. The LLC was formed on
September 14, 1999 and at the time of the acquisition, was still in a
developmental stage. Casino Padre commenced operations on November 18,
1999. As of June 30, 2000, the Company owns 61% of the LLC.
On December 20, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with
Black Hawk Hotel Corporation, an unaffiliated entity, to lease Lilly
Belle's Casino, an existing casino facility located in Black Hawk,
Colorado. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company has an option
to purchase the premises. The lease is contingent on the Company
receiving approval for the transaction and issuance of regulatory
licenses from the Colorado Gaming Commission.
The Company operates the M/V Entertainer as a casino boat,
conducting day and evening cruises of approximately six hours each from
South Padre Island, Texas. In addition to casino operations, the
cruises feature a variety of shipboard activities including
sightseeing, live music, and other entertainment. The Company markets
its cruises and conducts its casino operations in international waters
in such a manner as to comply with applicable Federal and State laws
and regulations.
3. GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the
basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. At June 30, 2000,
the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,146,458. The Company
has reported cumulative net losses since inception of $6,253,435. The
Company does not believe that it will be able to meet its normal
operating costs and expenses from management fees and cash flow of
Casino Padre.
7
<PAGE>
The cash requirements of funding the Company's operations and
expansion have exceeded cash flow from operations. To date, the Company
has satisfied its capital needs primarily through debt and equity
financing. The Company continually explores raising additional capital
through such means.
The Company believes that it will be able to raise additional
capital through debt and equity financing which, along with anticipated
cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's current
working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will not need to raise
additional capital sooner, particularly to take advantage of any
expansion opportunities, not currently anticipated that may become
available. In such event, there can be no assurance that additional
capital will be available at all, at an acceptable cost, or on a basis
that is timely to allow the Company to finance any such opportunities.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements about our plans and
business. Actual events and results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements. The ability to achieve our projections and
business objectives is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are
outside of our control. Some of the most significant factors, alone or in
combination would be our failure to obtain additional equity financing to fund
development activities and projected losses from operations and/or the inability
to grow the revenues and improve the financial performance of the Casino Padre
operation during the winter months. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that
we will achieve our business objectives.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
The sole source of revenue for the Company through June 30, 2000 was derived
from the operation of Casino Padre. During the three months ending June 30, 1999
the Company had no financial activity. Our revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 was $751,796, as compared to $447,968 for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2000. The 68% increase in revenue at Casino Padre was directly related
to improved weather conditions and more tourists visiting the island
Costs of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $123,376. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $161,750. A total of $270,060 was
expended for the operation of the casino and $667,735 for the operation of the
vessel. Sales and marketing expenses for the period were $88,743 with ($30,000)
being allocated to the minority interest in Casino Padre.
The above resulted in a net loss of $529,868 for the three months ended June 30,
2000.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash requirements have been and will continue to be significant. From our
inception to June 30, 2000, we have financed our operations primarily through
the issuance of equity and debt securities, loans from stockholders, and revenue
from Casino Padre. At June 30, 2000, we had a working capital deficit of
$1,146,458 and an accumulated deficit of $6,253,435.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2000
was $43,729. Net cash was used primarily to fund the losses from operations.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was $51,600, primarily from the sale of common stock in sureBET and
minority interest in Casino Padre. At June 30, 2000, we did not have any
material commitments for capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by increases in accounts payable activities was $536,523 for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily from increases in payables for
the charter of the vessel. The amount due to CSL Development increased from
$267,589 at March 31, 2000 to $752,828 at June 30, 2000.
We expect our cash needs will continue to increase in future periods, primarily
because we will incur additional expenses related to the development of new
projects and continuing operations. Our company will need to raise substantial
additional funds to continue the development of new markets and products.
The cash requirements of funding the Company's operations and expansion have
exceeded cash flow from operations. To date, the Company has satisfied its
capital needs primarily through debt and equity financing. The Company
continually explores raising additional capital through such means.
Under the present circumstances, our ability to continue as a going concern
depends on our ability to obtain additional financing. The Company believes that
it will be able to raise additional capital through debt and equity financing
which, along with anticipated cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet
the Company's current working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not need to raise
additional capital sooner, particularly to take advantage of any expansion
opportunities, not currently anticipated that may become available. In such
event, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available at
all, at an acceptable cost, or on a basis that is timely to allow the Company to
finance any such opportunities.
