1 - GENERAL

There has been no change in the Corporation's principal accounting policies
which were set forth in the 1994 Annual Report to the Stockholders.


The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Corporation, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of financial results.
All adjustments are of a normal or recurring nature. Certain information and
footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Corporation
believes that the disclosures are adequate so as to not make the information
presented misleading. The financial statements are subject to year-end audit
and other adjustments as later information may require.


2 - FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The functional currency of the Corporation and its subsidiary is the US
dollar. Certain transactions of the Corporation and its subsidiary are
denominated in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses
result from exchange rate fluctuations between the US and Canadian dollars and
are recognized in the period in which the exchange rate changes.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

I.   Results of Operations
     For the nine months ended July 31, 1995
     ---------------------------------------

Traffic volume has continued to be strong during the first nine months due
largely to casino related traffic. The casino which opened in May 1994 is
located in downtown Windsor near the tunnel facility. Traffic volume was lower
in 1994 due to the disruption of the Tunnel renovation project. Accordingly,
toll revenue for the first nine months has increased $872,000 or 19.0%.

During March, the Windsor casino was closed for approximately four weeks due
to a union work stoppage. Traffic volumes during the closure decreased by an
average 20%.

Despite lower invested balances as funds were utilized for capital projects,
interest and dividend revenues increased 36.0% from 1994 due to higher
interest rates and changes in the components of the investment portfolio.

II.  Liquidity
     ---------

During the first nine months of 1995, the Corporation met its dividend,
operating and construction capital needs using cash provided from operating
activities and utilization of cash reserves and short term investments.

The Corporation purchased 6,000 shares of its common stock at market prices
for a total cost of $159,003 during the first nine months of 1995.


III. Construction Projects
     ---------------------

The Corporation and the City of Windsor are engaged in a major renovation of
the tunnel property. Projected expenditures for fiscal 1995 are expected to be
approximately $6.7 million. Construction projects will be funded through
current earnings, utilization of cash and short term investments and if
necessary, short term draws against the Corporation's line of credit. Certain
short term investments were converted to interest bearing demand accounts to
facilitate the start of the construction season. During the nine months ended
July 31, 1995 the Corporation incurred $1,752,000 on all capital projects.

The effect of the current year's construction projects is reflected in the
balance sheet : in the decrease in Cash and Short Term Investments as payments
were made; in the increase in Property, Plant and Equipment as completed
projects were capitalized and in Accounts Payable which included construction
related invoices unpaid at year end.

The City of Windsor plaza renovation which began in April 1994 was completed
in May 1995. Any reduction of traffic volume as a result of this construction
was offset by Windsor casino gambling traffic as discussed above.
