                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

                       June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996




(1)    Basis of Presentation

       (a)    Corporate Organization

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Debbie  Reynolds  Hotel & Casino,  Inc.,  formerly  Halter  Venture  Corporation
(Halter) and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries  Debbie Reynolds Management Company,
Inc.,  formerly Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino,  Inc. (DRMC) and Debbie Reynolds
Resorts, Inc. (DRRI) (collectively the Companies). The December 31, 1996 balance
sheet data was derived  from audited  financial  statements  of Debbie  Reynolds
Hotel & Casino, Inc., but does not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  Users of financial  information  provided for
interim periods should refer to the annual  financial  information and footnotes
contained  in the  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  when  reviewing  the  interim
financial results presented herein.  All intercompany  accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

     In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements are prepared in accordance  with the  instructions on Form 10-QSB and
contain  all  material   adjustments,   consisting  only  of  normal   recurring
adjustments,  necessary to present  fairly the financial  condition,  results of
operations  and cash flows of the Company  for the  respective  interim  periods
presented.  The  current  period  results  of  operations  are  not  necessarily
indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for the full year ending
December 31, 1997.

        (b)   Description of Business

     The Company's  operations consist primarily of the hotel operations of DRMC
and the timeshare  operations  of Debbie  Reynolds  Resorts,  Inc.  ("DRRI"),  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of DRMC.  DRMC owns and operates  the Debbie  Reynolds
Hotel & Casino (the "Hotel"),  a gift shop, the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum,
a restaurant  and bar and a showroom  located on Convention  Center Drive in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The Company's operations,  through DRRI, also consist of the sale
of  timeshare  units in the Debbie  Reynolds  Hotel.  DRRI  obtained a permanent
timeshare  license  on  June  28,  1994.  The  Company  is  in  the  process  of
restructuring  its  timeshare  division and  currently  is not actively  selling
timeshare units. In addition,  DRMC and its management have pending applications
filed for a gaming license from the Nevada gaming  authorities;  however,  there
can be no assurance that such license will be granted. Due to the Company's poor
capital structure and acting on the advice of counsel, the Company requested the
Nevada  Gaming  Authorities  to place a hold on  processing  its pending  gaming
applications until its capital structure substantially improves.  Prior to March
31,  1996,  the Company  leased  space to a third party for the  operation  of a
casino.  The Company  served the operator with a termination  notice in February
1996  pursuant  to the terms of the lease  agreement,  because  the  Company was
losing  money  on a  monthly  basis.  The  Company  requested  Jackpot  to cease
operations as of June 30, 1996. On March 31, 1996 the operator  discontinued its
gaming  operations  on the  property,  removed all of its gaming  equipment  and
subsequently filed a lawsuit against DRHC. [See Item 3 - Legal Proceedings]

                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements, Continued

     On October 30, 1996 the Company  entered into an Agreement for Purchase and
Sale with ILX  Incorporated  ("ILX")  under which ILX would  purchase the Debbie
Reynolds  Hotel & Casino (the  "Hotel"),  including  all of the Hotel's real and
personal  property and the Hotel's  timeshare  operations (the "ILX Agreement").
ILX is a publicly-held  corporation based in Phoenix,  Arizona which principally
owns,  operates and markets resort properties in Arizona,  Florida,  Indiana and
Mexico. On May 15, 1997 ILX elected to cancel and terminate this Agreement.  The
Company and ILX continue to negotiate an  alternative  transaction.  There is no
guarantee that an alternative agreement will be reached.

     The  Company's  recurring  losses  from  operations,  its  working  capital
deficiency,  its shareholders  equity  deficiency,  its significant debt service
obligations and its default with respect to various agreements raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain
additional  financing to finance its working  capital deficit until such time as
cash flows from  operations are sufficient to finance the Company's  operations,
including the Company's proposed casino operations.

     On July 3,  1997 the  Company  filed for  relief  under  Chapter  11 of the
Bankruptcy  Code.  Due to the  inability  of the Company to generate  sufficient
funds to cover all of its expenses it filed for relief  under  Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Company will seek  reorganization of its debts. Also filing
were subsidiary companies Debbie Reynolds Management Company and Debbie Reynolds
Resorts, Inc. In addition,  Miss Debbie Reynolds has resigned as Chairman of the
Board,  Director and an Officer of Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino,  Inc., Debbie
Reynolds Management Company and Debbie Reynolds Resorts, Inc.

     Debbie  Reynolds and Raymax  Productions,  LTD,  ("Raymax"),  a corporation
wholly-owned  by Ms.  Reynolds,  terminated  their  services  agreement with the
Company in November 1996 due to the Company's  default under the agreement.  Ms.
Reynolds has agreed to render showroom and other services on an "at will" basis,
terminable at anytime. In addition, in November 1996 Ms. Reynolds terminated her
License  Agreement  with the Company with respect to her  Hollywood  memorabilia
collection  and her name and likeness due to the  Company's  defaults  under the
agreements.  Also,  Hollywood Motion Picture and Television Museum, a non-profit
organization, has terminated its License Agreement with the Company with respect
to its Hollywood memorabilia collection due to the Company's defaults, effective
January 1997.

     The Company's  principal  executive  offices are located at 305  Convention
Center  Drive,  Las  Vegas,  Nevada  89109  and its  telephone  number  is (702)
734-0711.

     See (Item 2)  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis,  (2)  Liquidity  and
Capital  Resources,  for additional  discussions of the Company's  capital stock
transactions.

 (3)   Contingencies

     The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions. In the opinion
of management,  the ultimate disposition of these matters has been evaluated and
those claims considered probable and estimable have been accrued. As of June 30,
1997 the Company  has  accrued  $890,000  for these  claims.

See Part II (Other Information), Item 1 (Legal Proceedings) for lawsuits filed
against the Company.

   PART I. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

(1)    Overview

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Debbie  Reynolds  Hotel & Casino,  Inc. (the Company),  formerly  Halter Venture
Corporation (Halter) and its present wholly-owned subsidiaries,  Debbie Reynolds
Management  Company,  Inc., formerly Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino, Inc. (DRMC)
and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Debbie Reynolds  Resorts,  Inc.  (DRRI).  The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical operations
of DRMC and DRRI.

 (2)   Liquidity and Capital Resources

     In February 1995, the Company obtained a $525,000 loan from Bennett Funding
International, LTD., ("Bennett"), the proceeds of which were principally used in
the  construction  of the museum and for general  corporate  purposes.  The loan
bears interest at 13% and was due March 22, 1997 and is in default.  The loan is
secured by the Company's real and personal property.

     In May 1995,  the  Company  obtained  a  $340,000  loan from  Bennett,  the
proceeds of which were principally used for general corporate purposes. The loan
bears interest at 13% and was due and is in default.  The loan is secured by the
Company's real and personal property.

     In August 1995, the Company  obtained a $2,865,000  loan from Bennett,  the
proceeds of which were principally used to pay off existing debt and for general
corporate  purposes,  which includes the $340,000 advanced to the Company in May
of 1995 and $525,000  advanced in February of 1995.  The loan bears  interest at
14% and is due August 23, 1999.  The loan is secured by the  Company's  real and
personal property.  Ms. Reynolds has personally  guaranteed this loan. This loan
is in default.

     Commencing in December  1995,  the Company  obtained  additional  financing
through a Regulation D offering  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the "Act").
The Company sold 200,000  units,  consisting of 200,000  shares of the Company's
common  stock and  200,000  warrants to  purchase  one share of common  stock at
$1.00, totalling net proceeds of approximately  $182,000. The offering of shares
was directed  solely to persons who met the definition of "Accredited  Investor"
set forth in rule 501(A) of Regulation D promulgated  under the Act. The Company
offered a maximum of 3,000,000 Units, (the "Unit"),  each unit consisting of one
share of Common  Stock and one warrant to purchase  one share of common stock at
$1.00 per share.  As of December 31, 1995 the Company  sold $50,000  pursuant to
the offering and in the first quarter 1996 the remaining $150,000 was sold.

     In May 1996, the Company  offered all holders of the Company's units issued
pursuant to the Company's private placement  memorandum dated March 25, 1994 the
opportunity to convert the Series AA Preferred Stock and Debentures constituting
part of the units into  restricted  shares of the Company's  common stock.  Each
Series  AA  Preferred  Stock  and  Debenture  converted  into  one  share of the
Company's  common  stock at the reduced  conversion  prices of $1.10.  The total
dollar  amount  converted  from Series AA  Preferred  Stock and  Debentures  was
$884,000 which  converted into 803,636 shares of the Company's  common stock. As
additional  consideration,  the Company  reduced the  conversion  price for each
Series AA Preferred Stock and Debenture issued pursuant to the Private Placement
Memorandum dated November 17, 1994 to $2.25. As additional  consideration to the
Company,  the unit holders  waived the past due  interest and dividend  payments
owed.

Part II.  Other Information, Continued

     In August 1996, the Company  obtained a $500,000 loan from Gregory Orman, a
non-affiliated party, the proceeds of which were principally used to reduce past
due tax  obligations,  reduce accounts payable and enabled the Company to engage
its auditors.  The loan bears interest at 12% and has $550,000 principal balance
which was due  November 1, 1996 and is in default.  This loan is secured  with a
fourth  mortgage on the  Company's  property and with  certain of the  Company's
receivables. In connection with the financing the Company granted Orman warrants
to acquire 260,000 shares of the Company's  common stock at an exercise price of
$.70 per share. On October 18, 1996, Orman agreed to extend the maturity date to
February 1, 1997. In consideration for the extension the Company reduced Orman's
exercise price on the warrants to acquire 260,000 shares of the Company's common
stock from $.70 per share to $.22 per share. This loan is personally  guaranteed
by Ms. Reynolds and Todd Fisher. This loan is in default.

     In February 1997, the Company obtained a $1,100,000 loan from Galt Capital,
an affiliate of Gregory Orman,  a  non-affiliated  party,  the proceeds of which
were  principally  used to pay-off the  TPM/Source  second  mortgage that was in
default,  reduce past due tax obligations,  reduce accounts payable. The balance
was used to fund the Company's  operations.  The loan bears  interest at 12% and
had $1,100,000  principal balance due June 5, 1997 and is in default.  This loan
is secured pursuant to an assignment of TPM Holding,  Inc. second Deed of Trust,
Loan  Agreement  and  Promissory  Note dated  December  1994 and is secured by a
$573,000  first  deed of trust  placed  against  real  property  owned by Selden
Enterprises,  ("Selden"),  an  affiliate of Ms.  Reynolds  and Todd  Fisher.  In
addition,  Debbie Reynolds and Todd Fisher have personally guaranteed this loan.
The  Company  will  issue  Selden   500,000   shares  of  its  common  stock  as
consideration  for allowing the deed of trust to be placed on its real property.
The Company will also issue Ms.  Reynolds  500,000 shares of its common stock in
consideration  of her personal  guarantee  and in  recognition  of numerous past
uncompensated  guarantees  provided  by Ms.  Reynolds  as well as Ms.  Reynolds'
continued efforts on behalf of the Company. In connection with the financing the
Company has issued a warrant to Galt Capital to purchase approximately 2% of the
Company's outstanding common stock, as calculated pursuant to the agreement,  at
an exercise  price of $.22 per share,  the estimated  fair market  value,  which
expires February 5, 2000. This loan is in default.

     In April 1997, the Company  offered all remaining  holders of the Company's
units  issued  pursuant to the  Company's  private  placement  memorandum  dated
November 17, 1994 the  opportunity to convert the Series AA Preferred  Stock and
Debentures  constituting  part  of  the  units  into  restricted  shares  of the
Company's common stock.  Each Series AA Preferred Stock and Debenture  converted
into one share of the Company's common stock at the reduced conversion prices of
$1.00.  The total dollar  amount  converted  from Series AA Preferred  Stock and
Debentures  was $261,528  which  converted  into 261,528 shares of the Company's
common  stock.  As  additional  consideration  to the Company,  the unit holders
waived the past due interest and dividend payments owed.

     As of June 1997, the Company is in default under the following obligations:
the  Bennett  Management  &  Development  ("BMD")  mortgage is in default due to
non-payment  of interest and the holder has the right to accelerate the mortgage

interest  outstanding at June 30, 1997; the Galt Capital ("Galt") mortgage is in

has the right to  accelerate  the  mortgage  immediately  and make demand on the
entire outstanding  principal balance; the Galt mortgage had a principal balance
of approximately  $1,100,000 plus accrued interest outstanding at June 30, 1997;
and the Company is in default on its unsecured  subordinated  debentures  due to
non-payment of monthly  interest,  and the debentures have matured,  the holders
have  the  right  to  accelerate  immediately  and  make  demand  on the  entire
outstanding principal balance.

Part II.  Other Information, Continued

     On October 30, 1996 the Company  entered into an Agreement for Purchase and
Sale with ILX  Incorporated  ("ILX")  under which ILX would  purchase the Debbie
Reynolds  Hotel & Casino (the  "Hotel"),  including  all of the Hotel's real and
personal  property and the Hotel's  timeshare  operations (the "ILX Agreement").
ILX is a publicly-held  corporation based in Phoenix,  Arizona which principally
owns,  operates and markets resort properties in Arizona,  Florida,  Indiana and
Mexico. On May 15, 1997 ILX elected to cancel and terminate this Agreement.  The
Company and ILX continue to negotiate an  alternative  transaction.  There is no
guarantee that an alternative agreement will be reached.

     The  Company's  recurring  losses  from  operations,  its  working  capital
deficiency,  its shareholders  equity  deficiency,  its significant debt service
obligations and its default with respect to various agreements raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain
additional  financing to finance its working  capital deficit until such time as
cash flows from  operations are sufficient to finance the Company's  operations,
including the Company's proposed casino operations.

     On July 3,  1997 the  Company  filed for  relief  under  Chapter  11 of the
Bankruptcy  Code,  due to the  inability  of the Company to generate  sufficient
funds  to  cover  its   expenses  and   obliagations.   The  Company  will  seek
reorganization  of its debts.  Also  filing  were  subsidiary  companies  Debbie
Reynolds Management Company and Debbie Reynolds Resorts, Inc. In addition,  Miss
Debbie  Reynolds has resigned as Chairman of the Board,  Director and an Officer
of Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino,  Inc., Debbie Reynolds Management Company and
Debbie Reynolds Resorts, Inc.

     The Company had a working  capital  deficiency of  $15,077,000  at June 30,
1997,  compared with a working capital deficiency of $10,059,000 at December 31,
1996, an increase of $5,018,000.  This increase is  attributable  to the Company
continuing  to incur  substantial  operating  losses during the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and maturing long-term debt.

 (3)   Revenues

     Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 totaled $1,531,000 as compared
to $2,125,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996,  representing an 30% decrease
for 1997. This decrease is attributable, in large part, to the decrease in rooms
revenue of  $151,000  as  compared  to the  quarter  ended June 30, 1996 and the
decrease in timeshare  revenue of $277,000 as compared to the quarter ended June
30, 1996.  The decrease in rooms revenue is attributed to increased  competition
in the Las Vegas market.  The decrease in timeshare revenue is attributed to the
Company  restructuring  its  timeshare  division  and  currently  is not selling
timeshare units. The timeshare revenue of $66,000  recognized during the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 were generated from timeshare  contracts entered into during
1996.

                                 Page 12 of 16
<PAGE>

Part II.  Other Information, Continued

     The loss from  operations  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1997  totaled
$666,000 as compared to a $983,000 loss from  operations  for the second quarter
ended 1996.  Included  in the loss from  operations  was  $50,000  loss from the
restaurant operations.  The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$977,000 as compared to $1,474,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

     Revenues  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997  totaled  $2,562,000  as
compared to 4,011,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1996,  representing  an
36%  decrease  for 1997.  This  decrease is  attributed,  in large part,  to the
decrease of $603,000 in  timeshare  sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997
as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This  decrease in revenue is
also  attributable  to the decrease in rooms  revenue of $460,000 as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease in room revenue is  attributed
to increased competition in the Las Vegas market.

     The loss from  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997  totaled
$1,535,000 as compared to $2,082,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
Company decreased showroom operating expenses by $504,000 as compared to the six
months ended June 30,  1996.  The  restaurant  operation  generated  $107,000 in
operating  losses for the period  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $425,000 in
operating  losses for the period ended June 30,  1996.  The net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 totaled  $2,265,000 as compared to $2,911,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996.

 (4)   Interest Expense

     Interest expense  decreased from $829,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 to $730,000 for six months ended June 30, 1997.

Part  II.         Other Information

Item  1.      Legal Proceedings
