ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 23, 1998, The Sands Regent (the "Company") closed the sale of
all the outstanding capital stock owned by the Company in Patrician, Inc.
(Patrician), Gulfside Casino, Inc. (GCI) and Artemis, Inc. (Artemis) to Terry W.
Green ("Green") and Joel R. Carter, Sr. ("Carter") pursuant to an Agreement
entered into on November 6, 1998. Such sale includes Gulfside Casino Partnership
d.b.a. Copa Casino which is a general partnership owned by Patrician, GCI and
Artemis. The sales price was $8.5 million payable to the Company in a down
payment of $500,000 and in monthly payments of $15,000 or 2% of gross gaming
revenue, which ever is greater. All payments are to be held in escrow as
security for certain representations and warranties by the Company. The Company
anticipates that it will not record a gain or loss on such sale until the
Company's net investment in the subsidiaries of approximately $2.6 million has
been recovered from cash payments. Thereafter, the Company will recognize future
cash payments as revenue.
In addition to the sale of the outstanding capital stock of the above
subsidiaries, various legal actions with Green and Carter have also been
dismissed with prejudice.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
THE SANDS REGENT
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On December 23, 1998, The Sands Regent (the "Company") closed the sale of all
the outstanding capital stock owned by the Company in Patrician, Inc.
("Patrician"), Artemis, Inc. ("Artemis") and Gulfside Casino, Inc. ("GCI") to
Terry W. Green ("Green") and Joel R. Carter, Sr. ("Carter") pursuant to an
Agreement entered into on November 6, 1998. Such sale includes Gulfside Casino
Partnership which is a general partnership owned by Patrician, Artemis and GCI.
Gulfside Casino Partnership owns and operates the Copa Casino in Gulfport,
Mississippi. The sales price was $8.5 million payable to the Company in a down
payment of $500,000 and in monthly payments of $15,000 or 2% of gross gaming
revenue, whichever is greater. All payments are to be held in escrow as security
for certain representations and warranties by the Company.
The following pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998,
gives pro forma effect to the sale as if such transaction had been completed on
September 30, 1998. The pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the
three months ended September 30, 1998 and for the year ended June 30, 1998 give
the pro forma effect to the sale as if the transaction had been completed on
July 1, 1998 and July 1, 1997, respectively.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent what
the Company's financial position and results of operations were at September 30,
1998 and for the three months and year ended September 30, 1998 and June 30,
1998 had the described transaction in fact occurred at September 30, 1998, July
1, 1998 or July 1, 1997 or to project the Company's financial position or
operating results for any future period.
The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes hereto and are based upon
available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are
reasonable under the circumstances.
