                              -----------------

       Of the 10,121,869 shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of Crown
Casino Corporation (the "Company") being offered hereby, 2,000,000 shares are
being sold by the Company and 6,937,623 shares are being sold by certain
holders of Common Stock.  In addition, 1,184,246 shares of Common Stock
underlying outstanding common stock purchase warrants are being offered for
sale to the public by the holders of such warrants upon the exercise thereof.
Such warrants are exercisable at prices ranging from $3.00 per share to $12.00
per share.  Unless the context otherwise requires, the holders of Common Stock
or outstanding warrants selling shares hereunder are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Selling Shareholders."  The Company will not receive any
proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders.  The
2,000,000 shares being sold by the Company are being marketed on a best efforts
basis by certain directors and executive officers of the Company, who will not
receive any commissions or other remuneration in connection with such
activities.  See "Plan of Distribution."  There is no minimum purchase
requirement and there are no escrow arrangements with respect to such shares.
The offering of such shares by the Company will expire November 8, 1996, unless
earlier terminated in the sole discretion of the Company.  The Company's
Articles of Incorporation contain certain restrictions on ownership of the
Common Stock.  See "Risk Factors - Restrictions on Holders of Company Common
Stock Contained in Articles of Incorporation."

       The Company's Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market
under the Nasdaq symbol "DICE."  On September 29, 1995, the average of the
closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq
system, was $4.00 per share.  As of the date hereof, the Company has sold a
total of 915,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering, 320,000 shares at a
price of $5.00 per share, 170,000 shares at a price of $3.50 per share, and
425,000 shares at a price of $4.00 per share.  The offering price of the
remaining 1,085,000 shares of Common Stock being sold by the Company hereby
will be $5.00 per share.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY.

(1)  Before deducting expenses payable by the Company, which are estimated to
     be $200,000.  Amounts shown reflect the sale by the Company of 320,000
     shares at a price of $5.00 per share, 170,000 shares at a price of $3.50
     per share, 425,000 shares at a price of $4.00 per share, and assume the
     sale of the remaining 1,085,000 shares at a price of $5.00 per share.
(2)  The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that they propose to
     offer for sale and to sell the Common Stock from time to time until
     November 8, 1996, through brokers in the over-the-counter market, in
     private transactions, and otherwise, at market prices then prevailing or
     obtainable.  Accordingly, sales prices and proceeds to the Selling
     Shareholders will depend upon price fluctuations and the manner of sale.
     If the Common Stock is sold through brokers, the Selling Shareholders will
     pay brokerage commissions and other charges (which compensation as to a
     particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions).
     Except for the payment of such brokerage commissions and charges and the
     legal fees, if any, of the Selling Shareholders, the Company will bear all
     expenses in connection with registering the shares offered hereby.  Such
     expenses are estimated to total approximately $200,000.  See "Plan of
     Distribution."

         This Prospectus also relates to such additional securities as may be
issued to the Selling Shareholders because of future stock dividends, stock
distributions, stock splits or similar capital readjustments.

                             PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        The following summary is qualified in its entirety by and should be
read in conjunction with the more detailed information and the financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

        Crown Casino Corporation, formerly Skylink America Incorporated, and
subsidiaries ("Crown" or the "Company") owns a 50% interest in St. Charles
Gaming Company, Inc. ("SCGC"), which owns and operates a riverboat gaming
casino located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana that opened on July 29, 1995,
owns an 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada
which is being held for development of a hotel and casino, and in July 1995
entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street
Hotel and Casino (the "Bourbon Street Casino") located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Company is also actively pursuing other gaming opportunities in these and
other jurisdictions.

        From its inception in 1983 to February 1994, the Company had been
engaged in various facets of the cable programming business including (i)
providing Free-To-Guest ("FTG") and Pay-Per-View ("PPV") programming services
and equipment to the lodging and hospital industries, (ii) designing, producing
and selling PPV equipment, (iii) constructing and operating Satellite Master
Antenna Television and Community Antenna Television systems, and (iv) the
buying and selling of cable properties and assets.

        During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1992, management concluded that
the hotel/motel FTG programming business had become increasingly competitive
from a profit margin standpoint and that programming in the hotel industry was
at or near saturation.  Based on its conclusion that the value of the FTG
business had peaked, in late fiscal 1992 the Company sold the majority of its
FTG programming business which accounted for approximately 85% of the Company's
total revenues during fiscal 1992. In June 1993, the Company made the decision
to enter the gaming industry and, based upon that decision, the Company sold
its remaining cable assets in November 1993 and February 1994.

        On June 25, 1993, Crown entered the gaming industry with the purchase
of SCGC for $500,000 cash and 1.6 million shares of Crown common stock.  SCGC
had been formed in January 1993 in order to apply to the Louisiana Riverboat
Gaming Commission ("Gaming Commission") to operate a riverboat gaming casino to
be based in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, near New Orleans.  On June 18, 1993,
SCGC received preliminary approval of its application from the Gaming
Commission and in July 1993 filed its application with the Louisiana Riverboat
Gaming Enforcement Division of the Office of State Police (the "Enforcement
Division") for a license to operate a riverboat gaming casino.  On March 29,
1994, SCGC received one of only fifteen authorized riverboat gaming licenses,
subject to certain conditions, issued in the State of Louisiana.

        In January 1995, SCGC made the strategic decision to relocate the site
for its planned Louisiana casino from St. Charles Parish to Calcasieu Parish
in the southwest part of the state near the Texas border.  See
"Business--Gaming Development."  In March 1995, the Company entered into an
agreement with Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Partnership ("LRGP") to form a joint
venture to develop the Calcasieu Parish project.  LRGP, a joint venture owned
50% by Casino America, Inc. ("Casino America") and 50% by Louisiana Downs,
Inc., an Edward J. DeBartolo company, currently owns the Isle of Capri(SM)
dockside riverboat casino located on the Red River in Bossier City, Louisiana.
On June 9, 1995, the Company sold 50% of the outstanding common stock of SCGC
for (i) a five-year $20 million note (the "LRGP Note"), (ii) $1 million cash,
and (iii) a warrant (which may only be exercised by converting a portion of the
LRGP Note) to purchase 416,667 shares of Casino America common stock at $12 per
share.  In July 1995, SCGC's riverboat casino opened for business in Calcasieu
Parish as an Isle of Capri(SM) themed property.  Certain conditions remain to
be satisfied before a permanent riverboat gaming license will be issued by the
Enforcement Division, although the casino may conduct business prior to receipt
of such permanent license. See "Business--Gaming Development."

        SCGC's site in Calcasieu Parish consists of a 10.5 acre tract and an
adjacent 5.5 acre tract (collectively, the "Site") on the west bank of the
Calcasieu River bordering Lake Charles to the east and approximately 1/8 mile
south of Interstate 10.  The Site is approximately 28 miles east of the Texas
border, which makes the casino the closest riverboat gaming establishment to
Houston, Texas.  The Company believes a majority of the casino's patrons come
from Texas, due in part to the current absence of legalized casino gaming in
Texas.  SCGC has entered into lease agreements with respect to the Site for an
initial term of five (5) years with renewal options for an additional
thirty-five (35) years.

        The Calcasieu Parish casino's gaming operations are being managed by
Casino America.  Casino America has been a developer, owner and operator of
dockside riverboat and dockside floating pavilion casinos and related
facilities since 1992.  Casino America currently owns and operates floating
pavilion casinos in Biloxi and Vicksburg, Mississippi, and operates the
dockside riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana owned by LRGP.

        On December 13, 1993 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding
common stock of Gaming Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("GEMS"), a
Nevada corporation, which was organized in September 1992 for the purpose of
developing a hotel and casino project in Las Vegas, Nevada known as the Desert
Winds Hotel and Casino (the "Desert Winds").  GEMS via contract had the right
to purchase an 18.6 acre parcel of land for $10 million in the gaming district
of Las Vegas.  The option was exercised and the land was purchased on June 8,
1994.  GEMS has no operations other than its development of the Desert Winds
project.  In connection with this transaction, the Company issued 885,000
shares of its common stock and assumed approximately $585,000 of liabilities.
The Desert Winds site has received zoning approval for the construction of a
12-story, 400 room hotel and casino.

        In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase
agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada for
a purchase price of $10 million.  The Bourbon Street Casino has approximately
430 slot machines and 15 table games over its 15,000 square feet of gaming
space, 166 hotel rooms, including 16 suites, and has reported annual revenues
of approximately $12 million.  Consummation of this transaction is scheduled to
occur in October 1995, unless extended by the parties.

        On August 31, 1995, the Company applied to the Gaming Commission for a
certificate of preliminary approval for a gaming license which had been
previously issued by the Gaming Commission to a third party and was
subsequently surrendered back to the State by such third party due to a
decision to abandon the project.  Thirteen other applicants have also applied
for preliminary approval for this license.  No action has been taken by the
Gaming Commission, and a recent notice to the applicants from the Gaming
Commission indicates that all proceedings regarding the preliminary approval
process have been suspended pending the resolution of certain legal proceedings
regarding the parameters of the Gaming Commission's statutory authority.

        The Company is also pursuing opportunities to potentially acquire a
second riverboat casino which would be operated from SCGC's existing site in
Calcasieu Parish, although no agreement has been reached with any third party
respecting such an acquisition and any such acquisition would require various
state and local regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Gaming
Commission and the Enforcement Division.  See "Business - Future Expansion."

        The Company's business strategy is to expand its gaming operations
through acquisition and development in new and existing gaming jurisdictions.

                                  THE COMPANY

        The Company was incorporated under the laws of Alabama in 1983.  In
1989, the Company reincorporated in Texas and in 1993, the Company entered the
gaming business and changed its name to Crown Casino Corporation.  The
Company's executive offices are located at 2415 West Northwest Highway, Suite
103, Dallas, Texas 75220 and its telephone number is 214-352-7561.

                                  RISK FACTORS

        In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus,
prospective investors should consider carefully the following information
relating to the Company and the Common Stock before making an investment in the
Common Stock offered hereby.

NEW VENTURE RISKS; LACK OF OPERATING HISTORY

        The SCGC Louisiana casino project is a new development.  The Company's
operations are subject to all of the many risks inherent in the establishment
of a new business enterprise, including operating problems with the riverboat
and the land-based support facility, as well as the ability of the Company to
market a new venture in a new gaming jurisdiction.  The Company has never been
involved in constructing land based support facilities or operating riverboat
casinos.  While the Company has engaged Casino America to manage the Company's
Louisiana casino operations, and the Company believes that Casino America
personnel do possess extensive casino management experience, such personnel
have only limited experience in managing riverboat casinos.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to operate and manage the Louisiana
casino on a profitable basis.

        In addition, the land based support facility for the SCGC Louisiana
casino project is not yet completed.  The Company estimates that approximately
$45 million will be spent to complete the parking garage and permanent terminal
facility, construct a 300-room hotel, complete certain road improvements, and
retire project-related payables.  The Company expects that the additional
capital necessary to complete this project will come from LRGP, Casino America
or a financing source arranged by either of them, as well as cash flows from
the Calcasieu Parish project.  However, neither LRGP nor Casino America has a
contractual obligation to provide such capital and no assurance can be given
that such parties will provide the capital necessary to complete the planned
improvements.

        The Company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the
Bourbon Street Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.  However, the Company has never
operated a casino in the State of Nevada and has no experience in conducting
gaming operations in the State of Nevada.  See "Risk Factors - Financing Risk"
and "Risk Factors - Licensing Risk."

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

        Management of the Company has no prior operating experience in
riverboat gaming.  Therefore, the success of the Company is largely dependent
upon the efforts and skills of certain executive officers, key employees and
Casino America, the loss of services of any of whom could materially adversely
affect the Company.  The Company's business will require managers with gaming
industry experience and skilled employees.  A shortage of skilled labor exists
in the gaming industry, which may make it more difficult and expensive to
attract and retain qualified employees.  While the Company believes that it
will be able to attract qualified employees, no assurance can be given that
such employees will be available to the Company.

COMPETITION

        The casino gaming industry is highly fragmented and characterized by
intense competition among a large number of participants, including riverboat,
dockside and land-based casinos, video lottery terminals, Indian gaming, and
other forms of legalized gaming in the United States.  The Company will be
competing with other larger, more established gaming companies, some of which
have far greater financial resources than the Company.  The Calcasieu Parish
casino is the third riverboat casino operating in the Lake Charles area.  In
addition, a land-based Indian-owned casino opened in January 1995 in Kinder,
Louisiana approximately 39 miles from the site of the Calcasieu Parish project.
The Company believes that competition in the gaming industry, particularly the
riverboat and dockside gaming industry, is based on the quality and location of
gaming facilities, the effectiveness of marketing efforts, and customer service
and satisfaction.  Although management of the Company believes that the
location of the Calcasieu Parish riverboat casino will allow it to effectively
compete with other casinos in the area, the Company expects competition in the
casino gaming industry to be intense as more casinos are opened and new
entrants into the gaming industry become operational.

FINANCING RISK

        In June 1994, SCGC completed a private placement of a $28,000,000
Senior Secured Increasing Rate Note (the "Senior Note") to an institutional
investor (the "Lender").  SCGC repaid $6.5 million of the Senior Note in
October 1994.  The balance of the Senior Note was repaid in August 1995 from
the issuance of $38.4 million of Senior Secured Increasing Rate Notes (the "New
Notes") issued jointly by SCGC and LRGP to the same Lender.  The New Notes
become due on July 27, 1996, but may be extended for two additional six-month
periods under certain circumstances.  Also, the New Notes contain a variety of
business, operating and financial covenants, including maintaining minimum cash
flow and fixed charge coverage.  An event of default has occurred due to the
failure to meet certain financial covenants governing the New Notes.  SCGC and
LRGP are currently having discussions with the Lender regarding the event of
default to obtain a waiver or amendment to the New Notes.  While no assurance
can be given that a satisfactory waiver or amendment will be forthcoming, the
Company expects SCGC and LRGP will be able to obtain such waiver or amendment
to cure the event of default.  Neither the Company nor any of its consolidated
subsidiaries are guarantors of the New Notes.

        In the event SCGC and LRGP are unable to finance the retirement of the
New Notes or are unable to secure third party financing sufficient to retire
the New Notes, they will either seek an extension of the maturity date of such
New Notes or the Company will seek third party financing on their behalf.
There can be no assurance that they will be able to secure either such
extension or such third party financing.

        In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire the Bourbon Street Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of
$10 million, of which $500,000 was deposited in an escrow account and is
subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, generally in the event that the
terms of the agreement are breached by the Company.  The Company anticipates
raising the remaining $9.5 million purchase price necessary to complete the
acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino from (i) conversion of $5 million of
the LRGP Note into shares of Casino America common stock and the subsequent
sale of such shares, (ii) the sale of all or a portion of the LRGP Note, (iii)
the public or private sale of the Company's Common Stock, and/or (iv) the
issuance of debt.  However, there can be no assurance that any such financing
will be obtained by or available to the Company.  See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and
Capital Resources."





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   10

        In addition, the land-based support facility for the SCGC Calcasieu
Parish casino project is not yet completed.  The Company estimates that as of
September 10, 1995 an additional $24 million will be spent to complete the
parking garage, permanent terminal facility, certain road improvements, and
retire project-related payables.  In addition, SCGC plans to construct a 300
room hotel at an estimated cost of $15 million.  The Company expects that the
additional capital necessary to complete this project will come from LRGP,
Casino America or a financing source arranged by either of them, as well as
cash flows from the Calcasieu Parish project.  However, neither LRGP nor Casino
America has a contractual obligation to provide such capital and no assurance
can be given that such parties will provide the capital necessary to complete
the planned improvements.

SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE AND RELATED DEBT SERVICE

        In connection with the issuance of the New Notes and other equipment
capital lease related debt incurred in connection with the establishment and
operation of the Calcasieu Parish casino, SCGC and LRGP have substantial annual
fixed debt service obligations.  The ability of SCGC and LRGP to meet debt
service requirements will depend on the ability (i) to generate sufficient cash
flows from operations and/or (ii) to refinance the New Notes when they become
due.  Management of the Company believes that SCGC's and LRGP's cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to make the required interest payments on the
debt outstanding at such time.  However, these operations are subject to
significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of SCGC and LRGP.  As a
result, there can be no assurance that operations will generate sufficient cash
flows to meet their debt service requirements.

LICENSING RISK

        SCGC has received a certificate of final approval from the Gaming
Commission and a license with certain conditions from the Enforcement Division.
The conditions to the license include the operation of the riverboat under an
approved plan of security and internal controls for a period of six months,
exercising due diligence in the development of its planned hotel in Calcasieu
Parish, and obtaining the Enforcement Division's prior written approval for any
modification to its plans for such hotel, including the abandonment of any
portion of the project.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions to the license, a
permanent license will be issued by the Enforcement Division. No assurance can
be given that these conditions will be met or that such final license or
approvals will be obtained.

        In addition, there are numerous statutes and regulations in the State
of Nevada governing gaming, and the Nevada regulatory authorities also have
broad discretionary powers in connection with the licensing process.  There can
be no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary permits and licenses
in order to complete the acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino, or to
develop other casinos in Nevada, should the Company wish to do so.  The Company
expects to close the acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino prior to receipt
of a gaming license in the State of Nevada.  From the date of the first closing
until such time as the Company is issued a Nevada gaming license, the Company
will lease the Bourbon Street Casino assets to the previous owners of the
casino (who do have a Nevada gaming license) under an interim lease
arrangement.  In the event the Company does not obtain a gaming license within
sixteen (16) months following the first closing, the lease will terminate and
the previous owners may remove all of the gaming assets from the casino and
shall have no further obligation to complete the sale of those assets to the
Company.

        There are numerous other requirements specified in both the Nevada and
Louisiana gaming statutes and relevant regulations governing the ownership and
control of gaming operations, and the state regulatory agencies have broad
discretionary authority to take action necessary to protect the public
interests, including suspension or revocation of a license or disqualification
of persons associated with





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   11

the gaming operations who are found to be unsuitable.  The Company will have
expended significant sums of money for the acquisition of the Bourbon Street
Casino, and SCGC has expended significant sums of money in the development of
the Calcasieu Parish casino, prior to having obtained all final requisite
licenses, permits and approvals.  The failure to obtain any such license,
permit or approval, as well as any withdrawal, suspension, revocation,
restriction or failure to renew such license, permit or approval, would have a
material adverse impact on the Company.

REGULATION OF LOAN TRANSACTIONS

        Under the Louisiana Riverboat Economic Development and Gaming Control
Act (the "Louisiana Riverboat Act"), and applicable regulations issued
thereunder, the Enforcement Division is empowered to regulate the adequacy and
business terms of the financing of a licensee.  The Enforcement Division is
empowered under the regulations to order any loan transaction which it finds
unacceptable for any reason rescinded.   Within 30 days of any loan transaction
involving a licensee, the licensee must file a statement with the Enforcement
Division disclosing the names and addresses of all parties to the transaction
and the terms of the transaction.  If, after whatever investigation the
Enforcement Division deems appropriate, the Enforcement Division finds that the
transaction is contrary or inimical to the public health, safety, morals, and
good order and general welfare of the people of Louisiana, or would reflect, or
tend to reflect, discredit upon the State of Louisiana, or the gaming industry,
the Enforcement Division may order the transaction rescinded within such time
and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate.  The Enforcement
Division has reviewed and approved the issuance of the New Notes.

        Similarly, the Nevada Gaming Commission has the authority to approve
the holder of any debt securities of a gaming company conducting gaming
operations in the state, and in connection therewith, if the Company issues
debt in order to complete the acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino, such
debt issuance would likely require the approval of the Nevada Gaming
Commission.  No assurance can be given that such approval would be obtained.

NEW GAMING JURISDICTION

        Louisiana is a new gaming market, with the first riverboat gaming
activities commencing in November 1993 on Lake Ponchartrain.  Through August
31, 1995, there were twelve riverboat casinos operating in Louisiana; however,
two riverboat casinos operating near New Orleans have been placed in bankruptcy
recently, and other riverboat casinos operating in Louisiana have reported
disappointing results of operations.  The success of gaming in a market which
has never supported gaming operations cannot be guaranteed or accurately
predicted.  The number of patrons of a riverboat casino in a new gaming
jurisdiction like Louisiana and the propensity of these patrons to wager cannot
be predicted with any degree of certainty and there can be no assurance that
SCGC will be able to operate the Calcasieu Parish casino in a profitable
manner.

REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY IN LOUISIANA

        The gaming industry in the State of Louisiana has recently received
national media attention in part due to the commencement by federal authorities
of an investigation of certain members of the Louisiana legislature and their
association with gaming interests.  There are also reports that a significant
percentage of Louisiana residents are opposed to gaming in the State.
Depending upon the results of the investigation and other political
developments, it is possible that the State of Louisiana may pass new gaming
statutes and regulations which could have an adverse impact upon gaming
generally in the State of Louisiana.  The Company cannot predict how any such
new or different statutes or regulations would impact SCGC's operations in the
State of Louisiana.





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   12


        The Louisiana Riverboat Act permits the issuance of up to fifteen
licenses to conduct gaming activities on a riverboat, of which no more than six
may be issued for the operation of gaming activities on riverboats in any one
parish.  The Enforcement Division has awarded fifteen licenses, including one
to the Company.  In addition, Louisiana law also permits the operation of a
single land-based facility in New Orleans.  There are also Indian gaming
casinos currently in operation in the state which are not subject to Louisiana
gaming laws.

        The initial license necessary for conducting gaming activities on the
Louisiana casino is for a five-year term and, thereafter, is renewable for
one-year terms.  No assurance can be given that the Enforcement Division will
renew such license.  No assurance can be given that the State of Louisiana will
not repeal or amend existing legislation or enact legislation which may have a
material adverse effect on the Company, including legislation that may (i)
increase the number of riverboat gaming licenses which can be granted, (ii)
authorize dockside gaming, (iii) permit more than one land-based casino, (iv)
increase the statutory gaming fees and/or taxes, or (v) limit or prohibit
gaming activities in the State of Louisiana.

        The Enforcement Division has broad discretion to deny, condition,
restrict, revoke or suspend gaming licenses, including the license received by
the Company, and impose fines and other penalties for violation of the
Louisiana Riverboat Act and/or the relevant rules and regulations.  Penalties
may include revocation or suspension of licenses or permits.  In such event,
the ability of SCGC or the Company to successfully pursue a claim against the
State of Louisiana, the Enforcement Division and/or the Gaming Commission
involves the interpretation of state and federal law, including constitutional
law, as to which the law is unclear.  In addition, the Louisiana statute makes
it clear that all risk of non-licensing is on the applicant, and each applicant
is required to sign a comprehensive release of all present and future claims
concerning matters of licensing and regulatory oversight against the
Enforcement Division and the State of Louisiana.  Accordingly, no prediction
can be made regarding SCGC's or the Company's ability to successfully pursue
such a claim if such a claim were to arise.

TAXATION

        The Company believes that the availability of significant additional
revenue through taxation is one of the primary reasons that Louisiana and other
jurisdictions have legalized gaming.  The Company's gaming operations are, and
any future gaming operations are likely to be, subject to significant taxes and
fees in addition to normal federal and state corporate income taxes, and such
taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time.  Any material increase in
these taxes or fees would adversely affect the Company.

MARITIME CONSIDERATIONS

        Under the provisions of Title 46 of the U.S. Code, the design,
construction and operation of the Calcasieu Parish riverboat casino are subject
to regulation and approval by the U.S. Coast Guard.  SCGC's riverboat vessel
has received a Certificate of Inspection.  The Calcasieu Parish riverboat
casino will be subject to periodic inspections by the Coast Guard and every
five years the riverboat must be dry docked for hull and other inspections,
which will result in a loss of service that can have an adverse effect on the
Company.  Loss of the Certificate of Inspection would preclude the use of the
riverboat as a floating casino.

        All shipboard employees of SCGC employed on U.S. Coast Guard regulated
vessels, including those not involved with the actual operation of the vessel,
such as dealers, cocktail hostesses and security personnel, may be subject to
the Jones Act, which, among other things, exempts those employees from state
limits on workers' compensation awards.  The Company believes that SCGC has
adequate insurance to cover employee claims.





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   13

        Operating on the Calcasieu River will expose the riverboat casino to
marine hazards such as unpredictable river currents, potentially severe weather
conditions and exposure to maritime traffic.  SCGC has obtained maritime
insurance coverage; however, the occurrence of a catastrophic loss in excess of
such coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

REGULATION BY GAMING AUTHORITIES

        Typically, gaming authorities, including those in Louisiana and Nevada,
have discretionary authority to, and in certain circumstances must, require a
direct or indirect holder of Common Stock to file an application to be
investigated and to be found suitable as an owner or landlord of a gaming
establishment.  Such application may be required regardless of the
circumstances under which ownership is obtained.  The gaming laws and
regulations of other jurisdictions in which the Company may seek or obtain
licenses may also contain restrictions on the ability of a person or group to
acquire or hold such securities or may require regulatory approval.  In
addition, the federal Merchant Marine Act of 1936 and the federal Shipping Act
of 1916 and applicable regulations thereunder contain provisions designed to
prevent persons who are not citizens of the United States, as defined therein,
from holding in the aggregate more than 25% of the outstanding shares of common
stock of the entities subject to such regulation.  In addition, Louisiana and
Nevada gaming regulators have the statutory right to investigate and approve
any holder of 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  The
regulator must determine that such persons are deemed suitable to hold such
stock and may require such holders to make filings and submit to regulatory
proceedings in order to be qualified.  Any holder of Common Stock required to
apply for a finding of suitability must pay all investigative fees and costs of
the gaming authorities in connection with such an investigation.  Such
restrictions could adversely affect the marketability of the Company's Common
Stock.

        In both Louisiana and Nevada, if the gaming authority finds that an
individual owner or holder of a security of a corporate licensee or of a
holding or an intermediary company or any person or persons with an economic
interest in a licensee, or a director, partner, officer or manager is not
qualified under applicable law or regulation and if, as a result, the licensee
is no longer qualified to continue as a licensee, the gaming authority may
suspend or revoke the license or permit.  The gaming authority may also issue,
under penalty, a revocation of license, a condition of disqualification naming
the person or persons and declaring that such person or persons may not receive
dividends or interest on securities of the corporation, exercise directly, or
through trustee or nominee, a right conferred by securities of the corporation,
receive remuneration from the licensee, receive any economic benefit from the
licensee, continue an ownership or economic interest in a licensee or remain as
a manager, officer, director or partner of a licensee.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

        The Company and SCGC are subject to a variety of federal, state and
local governmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge,
emission and disposal of hazardous material.  While the Company and SCGC
believe that they are presently in material compliance with all environmental
laws, failure to comply with such laws could result in the imposition of severe
penalties or restrictions on operations by government agencies or courts of law
which could adversely affect operations.  Neither the Company nor SCGC
maintains environmental impairment liability insurance to cover such events.

RESTRICTIONS ON HOLDERS OF COMPANY STOCK CONTAINED IN ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

        The Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that any
shareholder of the Company who is found to be unsuitable by any gaming
regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Company's operations, may, in
the discretion of the Board of Directors, be required to divest the shares of
Company





                                      -11-
<PAGE>   14

stock owned by such person within forty-five (45) days from the date on which
the Company notifies the disqualified holder of the regulatory authority's
determination of unsuitability, or the Company will have the right to purchase
such stock at a price equal to the fair market value as defined in the Articles
of Incorporation less twenty-five percent (25%).

        In addition, the Articles of Incorporation require that the Company
maintain compliance under the federal Merchant Marine Act of 1936 and the
federal Shipping Act of 1916, as amended, restricting the amount of shares of
Company Common Stock which may be held by non-U.S. citizens.  The Company may
require foreign persons to divest their shares of Company Common Stock in
accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation in the event
that the Company determines that it is in violation of either of these Acts.
See "Description of Capital Stock."

UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO LAS VEGAS PROJECTS

        The Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
GEMS in December 1993 in exchange for an aggregate of 885,000 shares of Company
Common Stock and the assumption of approximately $585,000 of liabilities.  In
June 1994, the Company exercised its option to purchase 18.6 acres of real
property in Las Vegas for the development of a hotel and casino.  This project
is in the  earliest stages of development, and there can be no assurance that
the project will be completed, or if completed, that the project will be
operated profitably.  See "Business."

        In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire the Bourbon Street Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of
$10 million, of which $500,000 was deposited in an escrow account and is
subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, generally in the event that the
terms of the agreement are breached by the Company.  The Bourbon Street Casino
has approximately 430 slot machines and 15 table games over its 15,000 square
feet of gaming space and 166 hotel rooms, including 16 suites.  Consummation of
this transaction is scheduled to occur in October 1995, unless extended by the
parties.  There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary
capital or financing in order to complete the acquisition of the Bourbon Street
Casino, nor can there be any assurance the Company will obtain all necessary
licenses and permits from the State of Nevada.  The Company expects to complete
the acquisition of the non-gaming assets in October 1995, prior to the receipt
of a gaming license from the State of Nevada.  After the date of the first
closing and until the Company receives a Nevada gaming license, the Company
will lease the Bourbon Street Casino non-gaming assets to its previous owners
under an interim lease arrangement.  Upon receipt of a gaming license, the
Company will complete the purchase of the gaming assets.  In the event that the
Company has not obtained a gaming license within sixteen (16) months following
the date of the first closing, the lease will terminate and the previous owners
may remove all of the gaming assets from the casino and shall have no further
obligation to sell such assets to the Company.

MAINTENANCE OF EFFECTIVE PROSPECTUS

        Selling Shareholders may effect sales of shares of Common Stock only
pursuant to an effective Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company
has undertaken to maintain the effectiveness of this Prospectus for a period of
two years from November 8, 1994.  In the event of the lapse of effectiveness of
this Prospectus, Selling Shareholders would be restricted from selling their
shares in the open market.

CONTEMPORANEOUS OFFERING BY COMPANY AND SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

        The offering of shares by the Company will be conducted
contemporaneously with the offering of shares by the Selling Shareholders.  Due
to the relatively small size of the Company and the fact that





                                      -12-
<PAGE>   15

the Company's Common Stock is relatively thinly traded, either the Company or a
Selling Shareholder may be unable to effect sales if the other party is
offering to sell shares simultaneously.





                                      -13-
<PAGE>   16

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

        The Company currently anticipates that all of its earnings will be
retained for development of the Company's business, and does not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Future cash dividends, if
any, will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will
depend upon, among other things, the Company's future earnings, operations,
capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, and contractual
restrictions that may exist, and such other factors as the Board of Directors
may deem relevant.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

        The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders.

        As of the date hereof, the Company has sold a total of 915,000 shares
of Common Stock in this offering, 320,000 shares at a price of $5.00 per share,
170,000 shares at a price of $3.50 per share, and 425,000 shares at a price of
$4.00 per share.  The remaining 1,085,000 shares are offered hereby at a price
of $5.00 per share.  The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the
2,000,000 shares offered by the Company hereby (after deducting estimated
offering expenses) are estimated to be approximately $9.2 million.  Of the
approximate $3.5 million in net proceeds raised by the Company through the date
of this Prospectus, the Company has utilized the proceeds for development of
SCGC's Calcasieu Parish riverboat casino and for general corporate purposes.
The Company intends to utilize the remaining net proceeds for the acquisition
and/or development of other casino projects, including the acquisition of the
Bourbon Street Casino, with any remainder to be added to working capital to be
used for general corporate purposes.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

        Since its inception, the Company has paid no dividends on its Common
Stock.  The Company currently intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings
to finance future growth.  Payment of dividends in the future will be
determined by the Company's Board of Directors and will depend upon, among
other things, the Company's future earnings, operations, capital requirements
and surplus, general financial condition, and contractual restrictions that may
exist, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

OVERVIEW

        The Company owns a 50% interest in St. Charles Gaming Company, Inc.
("SCGC") which owns and operates a riverboat gaming casino in Calcasieu Parish,
Louisiana, that opened on July 29, 1995, owns an 18.6 acre tract of land in the
gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada which is being held for development of a
hotel and casino, and in July 1995 entered into a definitive purchase agreement
to acquire the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Company is also actively pursuing other gaming opportunities in these and
other jurisdictions.  Prior to March 1994, the Company had been engaged in
various facets of the cable and related programming businesses.

        In June 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
outstanding common stock of SCGC, a Louisiana corporation, which had received
preliminary approval from the Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Commission to
construct and operate a riverboat casino to be based in St. Charles Parish,
Louisiana.  In March 1994, SCGC received a license with certain conditions from
the Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Enforcement Division of the Office of State
Police.  In January 1995, SCGC made the strategic decision to relocate the site
for its planned Louisiana riverboat casino from St. Charles Parish to Calcasieu
Parish in the southwest part of the state near the Texas border.  In March
1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Louisiana Riverboat Gaming
Partnership ("LRGP") to form a joint venture to develop the Calcasieu Parish
project.  LRGP, a joint venture owned 50% by Casino America, Inc. ("Casino
America") and 50% by Louisiana Downs, Inc., owns the Isle of Capri(SM) dockside
riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana.  Pursuant to the joint venture
agreement, on June 9, 1995 the Company sold 50% of the outstanding common stock
of SCGC for (i) a five-year $20 million note (the "LRGP Note"), (ii) $1 million
cash, and (iii) a warrant (which may only be exercised by converting a portion
of the LRGP Note) to purchase 416,667 shares of Casino America common stock at
$12 per share.  In July 1995, SCGC's riverboat casino opened for business in
Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana as an Isle of Capri(SM) themed property.

        In December 1993, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common
stock of Gaming Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("GEMS") which was
organized for the purpose of developing a hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada
known as the Desert Winds Hotel and Casino (the "Desert Winds").  GEMS' primary
asset was its option to purchase an 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming
district of Las Vegas.  In June 1994, the option was exercised and the land was
purchased.  The Company may develop such property by itself or on a joint
venture basis.

        In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive stock purchase
agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino (the "Bourbon Street
Casino") located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of $10 million.  The
Bourbon Street Casino has reported annual revenues of approximately $12
million.  Closing is expected to occur by October 1995.

        As a result of the Company's entry into the gaming industry in June
1993 with the acquisition of SCGC, the Company made the decision to discontinue
operations in the cable programming industry and focus all its efforts on
gaming.  During fiscal 1994, the Company sold all its remaining cable related
assets and operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        As a result of the Company's sale of 50% of SCGC on June 9, 1995, from
and after such date SCGC's operating results are no longer consolidated with
the Company, but rather are accounted for on the equity method.  Accordingly,
operating results for the first quarter of the current and prior fiscal year
are not entirely comparable.

        As a result of the Company's decision to exit the cable industry, all
revenues, costs and expenses directly related to cable operations have been
reclassified to discontinued operations.  The Company's discontinued operating
results for fiscal 1994 and 1993 are not readily comparable to one another.
Fiscal 1994 discontinued operations reflect the loss on the sale of the
Company's remaining cable assets and only nine months of cable operations
whereas fiscal 1993 discontinued operations did not have any cable asset sales
and had a full twelve months of cable operations.  The following discussion
focuses on results from continuing operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1994

        Gaming pre-opening and development costs for the three months ended
July 31, 1995 decreased $347,394 compared to the same period in the prior
fiscal year.  The decrease was attributable to comparing 39 days of development
of SCGC's riverboat casino project in the current fiscal period versus a full
three months in the prior fiscal period.  General and administrative expenses
for the three months ended July 31, 1995 increased $194,505 compared to the
same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase was primarily attributable
to increased personnel costs as the Company expanded its corporate staff in
preparation for future growth and expansion.  Interest expense for the three
months ended July 31, 1995 decreased $139,373 compared to the same period in
the prior fiscal year.  The decrease was the result of the Company no longer
consolidating the operating results of SCGC from and after June 9, 1995, as
SCGC was formerly responsible for all of the Company's consolidated interest
expense.  Interest income for the three months ended July 31, 1995 increased
$414,348 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase
was the result of the interest being recognized in the current fiscal quarter
on the $20 million LRGP Note at the rate of 11.5% per annum, whereas the prior
fiscal quarter interest income on a portion of the proceeds from the issuance
of the $28 million Senior Note was being held in escrow and earning interest at
the rate of 3% to 4% in a money market fund.


FISCAL YEAR 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1994

        General and administrative expenses for fiscal 1995 increased $583,006
compared to fiscal 1994.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased
professional fees, personnel and travel costs associated with the development
of the Company's Louisiana riverboat casino project.  Gaming pre-opening and
development costs for fiscal 1995 increased $7,208,553 compared to fiscal 1994.
The increase was the result of greater personnel, advertising, legal,
consulting and training costs incurred in connection with the anticipated
opening of the Louisiana riverboat casino, and development efforts outside of
Louisiana which began in fiscal 1995.  In addition, fiscal 1995 reflects
development activities for a full year, whereas in fiscal 1994, the Company was
only in the early stages of developing its Louisiana riverboat casino project.

        In January 1995, SCGC made the decision to abandon its site in St.
Charles Parish, Louisiana in favor of a new site in Calcasieu Parish,
Louisiana.  As a result of this decision, the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $3.1 million, which represents the write-off of previously
capitalized costs specific to the St. Charles Parish site.  Also, in March
1995, in connection with the stock purchase





                                      -18-
<PAGE>   21

agreement with LRGP, SCGC paid $4 million to buy out its casino management
agreement and entered into a new management agreement with Casino America.

        Interest expense amounted to $6,826,538 in fiscal 1995, principally
attributable to the issuance of the Senior Note in June 1994, with no
comparable amount in the prior fiscal year period.  Included in fiscal 1995
interest expense is $3,376,392 of amortization of debt issuance costs and the
discount from the issuance of the Senior Note.

FISCAL YEAR 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1993

        General and administrative expenses for fiscal 1994 increased $814,309
compared to fiscal 1993.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased
professional fees, personnel and travel costs associated with the development
of the Company's riverboat casino in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana and an
increase in bad debt expense.  In addition, the Company incurred nearly $1
million of gaming pre-opening expenses during fiscal 1994 in connection with
the development of the Calcasieu Parish riverboat casino with no comparable
amount in fiscal 1993.

        Interest expense for fiscal 1994 increased $574,434 over fiscal 1993
due to the write-off of approximately $321,760 of deferred financing costs and
the sale of certain notes receivable at an aggregate discount of $245,085.  The
deferred financing costs write-off occurred as a result of the Company's
decision to abandon a prior financing commitment in favor of a more attractive
financing which closed in June 1994.  Interest income for fiscal 1994 declined
$57,816 from fiscal 1993 as a result of the sale of certain notes receivable
during fiscal 1994 that were generating interest income prior to their sale.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        During fiscal 1995, pursuant to a private placement and public equity
offering, the Company raised approximately $7.4 million, net of transaction
costs, through the sale of 1,701,700 shares of its common stock.  As of
September 15, 1995, the Company had sold 915,000 shares in this offering
resulting in gross proceeds of $3,895,000 and had an additional 1,085,000
shares of common stock available for sale pursuant to its registration
statement.

                                  The Company

        In connection with the acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino, the
Company anticipates raising the $10 million purchase price from (i) conversion
of $5 million of the LRGP Note into 416,667 shares of Casino America common
stock and the subsequent sale of such shares, (ii) the sale of all or a portion
of the LRGP Note, (iii) the public or private sale of the Company's common
stock, including 1,085,000 shares registered for sale pursuant to this
registration statement, and/or (iv) the issuance of debt.  However, there can
be no assurance that the required financing will be obtained by or available to
the Company.

        Management of the Company is evaluating the design, scope and capital
requirements of its proposed hotel and casino project which is to be built on
the Company's 18.6 acre tract of land in Las Vegas.  Management is considering
a variety of scenarios with respect to the operation and ownership of the
proposed hotel and casino, including a potential joint venture relationship.
In connection with the joint venture agreement with LRGP, the Company granted
LRGP a right of first refusal to develop such project with the Company in the
event the Company chooses to develop such project on a joint venture basis.





                                      -19-
<PAGE>   22



                                      SCGC

        Since the Company and LRGP entered into the joint venture agreement in
March 1995, LRGP and its affiliate, Casino America, have been providing capital
to develop the Calcasieu Parish project which opened in July 1995.  As of
September 10, 1995, the Company anticipates an additional $24 million will be
spent to complete the permanent terminal facility, make certain road
improvements and retire project-related payables.  In addition, SCGC plans to
construct a 300 room hotel at an estimated cost of $15 million.  The Company
expects that the additional capital necessary to complete the Calcasieu Parish
project will come from LRGP, Casino America or a financing source arranged by
either of them, and cash flows from operating the Calcasieu Parish project.
However, neither LRGP nor Casino America has a contractual obligation to
provide such capital and no assurance can be given that such parties will
provide the capital necessary to complete the planned improvements.

        In June 1994, SCGC completed a private placement of a $28,000,000
Senior Secured Increasing Rate Note (the "Senior Note") to an institutional
investor.  SCGC repaid $6.5 million of the Senior Note in October 1994.  The
balance of the Senior Note was repaid in August 1995 from a portion of the
proceeds from the issuance of $38.4 million of Senior Secured Increasing Rate
Notes (the "New Notes") issued jointly by SCGC and LRGP (collectively, the
"Issuers") to the same institutional investor.  The New Notes initially become
due on July 27, 1996, but can be extended up to an additional twelve months at
the option of the Issuers provided no event of default has occurred and is
continuing, carry a 12% coupon increasing 25 basis points each quarter until
maturity, and provide for contingent interest beginning in May 1996 equal to
7.5% of the Issuers' consolidated cash flow, as defined.  The New Notes are
collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Issuers and the agreement
governing the New Notes contains covenants relating to certain business,
operational and financial matters including limitations on (i) incurring
additional debt, (ii) paying dividends, (iii) merging or consolidating with
others, (iv) changes in control, (v) capital expenditures, (vi) investments and
joint ventures, (vii) the sale of assets, and financial covenants pertaining to
(a) minimum cash flow, (b) minimum fixed charge ratio, (c) maximum leverage
ratio, and (d) minimum net worth.  An event of default has occurred due to the
failure to meet certain financial covenants of the agreement governing the New
Notes.  The Issuers are currently having discussions with the holder of the New
Notes regarding the event of default to obtain a waiver or amendment to the New
Notes.  While no assurance can be given that a satisfactory waiver or amendment
will be forthcoming, the Company expects the Issuers will obtain such waiver or
amendment to cure the event of default.  The New Notes are not guaranteed by
the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries.

SEASONALITY

        The Company anticipates that gaming revenues will be higher during
warmer weather (typically from early spring through late fall) than during the
colder winter months.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

        Although management of the Company cannot accurately determine the
precise effect of inflation on the Company's operations, it does not believe
inflation has had a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

                                    BUSINESS

GENERAL

        Crown Casino Corporation, formerly Skylink America Incorporated, and
subsidiaries ("Crown" or the "Company") owns a 50% interest in St. Charles
Gaming Company, Inc. ("SCGC"), which owns and operates a riverboat gaming
casino located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana that opened on July 29, 1995,
owns an 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada
which is being held for development of a hotel and casino, and in July 1995
entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street
Hotel and Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Company is also actively
pursuing other gaming opportunities in these and other jurisdictions.

        Prior to March 1994, the Company had been engaged in various facets of
the cable programming business including (i) providing Free-To-Guest ("FTG")
and Pay-Per-View ("PPV") programming services and equipment to the lodging and
hospital industries, (ii) designing, producing and selling PPV equipment, (iii)
constructing and operating Satellite Master Antenna Television and Community
Antenna Television systems, and (iv) the buying and selling of cable properties
and assets.

HISTORY

        Since its inception in 1983, the Company has been engaged in various
facets of the cable and related programming businesses.  During the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1992, it became apparent to management of the Company that the
hotel/motel FTG programming business had become increasingly competitive from a
profit margin standpoint and that programming in the hotel industry was at or
near saturation, and it was management's opinion that the value of the FTG
business had peaked.  Taking into account these and other factors, in late
fiscal 1992, the Company sold the majority of its FTG programming business
which accounted for approximately 85% of the Company's cable revenues during
fiscal 1992.  During the next fiscal year, the Company reviewed the status of
its remaining cable operations, namely PPV and franchised cable, and began
exploring new business opportunities.  In early fiscal 1994, the Company began
focusing its attention on opportunities in the gaming industry.  In June 1993,
the Company made the decision to enter the gaming business through the
acquisition of SCGC.  Based upon that decision, the Company sold its remaining
cable assets in November 1993 and February 1994.  The dispositions of the FTG,
PPV and other cable assets in fiscal 1992 and 1994 did not require stockholder
approval under the laws of the State of Texas and therefore no vote of
stockholders was taken.  Such assets were sold to third parties unaffiliated
with the Company.

GAMING DEVELOPMENT

        On June 25, 1993, Crown entered the gaming industry with the purchase
of SCGC for $500,000 cash and 1.6 million shares of Crown common stock.  SCGC
had been formed in January 1993 in order to apply to the Louisiana Riverboat
Gaming Commission ("Gaming Commission") to operate a riverboat gaming casino to
be based in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, near New Orleans.  On June 18, 1993,
SCGC received preliminary approval of its application from the Gaming
Commission and in July 1993 filed its application with the Louisiana Riverboat
Gaming Enforcement Division of the Office of State Police (the "Enforcement
Division") for a license to operate a riverboat gaming casino.  On March 29,
1994, SCGC received one of only fifteen authorized riverboat gaming licenses,
subject to certain conditions, issued in the State of Louisiana.

        In January 1995, SCGC made the strategic decision to relocate the site
for its planned Louisiana riverboat casino from St. Charles Parish to Calcasieu
Parish in the southwest part of the state near the Texas border.  In March
1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Louisiana Riverboat Gaming





                                      -21-
<PAGE>   24

Partnership ("LRGP") to form a joint venture to develop the Calcasieu Parish
project.  LRGP, a joint venture owned 50% by Casino America, Inc. ("Casino
America") and 50% by Louisiana Downs, Inc., an Edward J. DeBartolo company,
owns the Isle of Capri(SM) dockside riverboat casino in Bossier City,
Louisiana.  On June 9, 1995, the Company sold 50% of the outstanding common
stock of SCGC for (i) a five-year $20 million note (the "LRGP Note"), (ii) $1
million cash, and (iii) a warrant (which may only be exercised by converting a
portion of the LRGP Note) to purchase 416,667 shares of Casino America common
stock at $12 per share.  In July 1995, SCGC's riverboat casino opened for
business in Calcasieu Parish as an Isle of Capri(SM) themed property.

        SCGC's site in Calcasieu Parish consists of a 10.5 acre tract and an
adjacent 5.5 acre tract (collectively, the "Site") on the west bank of the
Calcasieu River bordering Lake Charles to the east and approximately 1/8 mile
south of Interstate 10.  The Site is approximately 28 miles east of the Texas
border which makes the casino the closest riverboat gaming establishment to
Houston, Texas.  The Company believes a majority of the casino's patrons will
come from Texas due, in part, to the current absence of legalized gaming in
that state.  SCGC has entered into lease agreements with respect to the Site
for an initial term of five years with renewal options for an additional
thirty-five years.

        SCGC's gaming operations are being managed by Casino America.  Casino
America owns and operates casinos in Biloxi and Vicksburg, Mississippi, and
operates the dockside riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana owned by
LRGP.


        On December 13, 1993, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding
common stock of Gaming Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("GEMS"), a
Nevada corporation, which was organized in September 1992 for the purpose of
developing a hotel and casino project in Las Vegas, Nevada known as the Desert
Winds Hotel and Casino (the "Desert Winds").  GEMS via contract had the right
to purchase an 18.6 acre tract of land for $10 million in the gaming district
of Las Vegas.  The option was exercised and the land was purchased on June 8,
1994.  GEMS has no operations other than its development of the Desert Winds
project.  In connection with this transaction, the Company issued 885,000
shares of its common stock and assumed approximately $585,000 of liabilities.
The Desert Winds site has received zoning approval for the construction of a
twelve story, 400 room hotel and casino.

        In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase
agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino (the "Bourbon Street
Casino") located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of $10 million.  The
Bourbon Street Casino has approximately 430 slot machines and 15 table games
over its 15,000 square feet of gaming space, 166 hotel rooms, including 16
suites, and has reported annual revenues of approximately $12 million.
Consummation of this transaction is scheduled to occur in October 1995, unless
extended by the parties.

        On August 31, 1995, the Company applied to the Gaming Commission for a
certificate of preliminary approval for a gaming license which had been
previously issued by the Gaming Commission to a third party and was
subsequently surrendered back to the State by such third party due to a
decision to abandon the project.  Thirteen other applicants have also applied
for preliminary approval for this license.  No action has been taken by the
Gaming Commission, and a recent notice to the applicants from the Gaming
Commission indicates that all proceedings regarding the preliminary approval
process have been suspended pending the resolution of certain legal proceedings
regarding the parameters of the Gaming Commission's statutory authority.

        The Company is also pursuing opportunities to potentially acquire a
second riverboat casino which would be operated from SCGC's existing site in
Calcasieu Parish, although no agreement has been reached with any third party
respecting such an acquisition and any such acquisition would require various





                                      -22-
<PAGE>   25

state and local regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Gaming
Commission and the Enforcement Division.

        The Company's business strategy is to expand its gaming operations
through acquisition and development in new and existing gaming jurisdictions.

        The LRGP Joint Venture Agreement.  On March 2, 1995, the Company
entered into an agreement with LRGP to form a joint venture to develop the
Company's Louisiana casino project (the "Agreement").  Pursuant to the
Agreement, on June 9, 1995, the Company sold 50% of the outstanding common
stock of SCGC to LRGP for (i) the $20 million LRGP Note, (ii) $1 million cash,
and (iii) a warrant (which may only be exercised by converting a portion of the
LRGP Note) to purchase up to 416,667 shares of Casino America common stock at
an exercise price of $12.00 per share.

        The LRGP Note bears interest at 11.5% per annum, payable monthly, and
is collateralized by LRGP's 50% interest in SCGC.  Principal is payable in
seventeen equal quarterly installments beginning in June 1996.  If the
distributions from SCGC to LRGP during any quarter are less than the principal
installment due for such quarter, LRGP will only be obligated to pay the amount
of such distribution and any deficiency will be deferred to the next
installment due under the LRGP Note.  All principal and interest not previously
paid will be due and payable in June 2000.

        In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, LRGP will lend funds or will
provide a financing source for SCGC to provide for the development of the
Calcasieu Parish project in amounts to be agreed upon between LRGP and the
Company.  The maximum amount of all loans funded or guaranteed by LRGP will not
exceed $45 million, unless agreed to by the parties.  In August 1995, SCGC and
LRGP jointly issued $38.4 million of senior secured increasing rate notes, the
proceeds of which were used to retire all of SCGC's senior debt ($21.9 million)
and certain LRGP obligations ($8.4 million).  The balance of the proceeds were
used in the development of the Calcasieu Parish project.  See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Liquidity and Capital Resources."

        Since the Company and LRGP entered into the joint venture agreement in
March 1995, LRGP and its affiliate, Casino America, have been providing capital
to develop the Calcasieu Parish project which opened in July 1995.  As of
September 10, 1995, the Company anticipates an additional $24 million will be
spent to complete the permanent terminal facility, make certain road
improvements and retire project-related payables.  In addition, SCGC plans to
construct a 300 room hotel at an estimated cost of $15 million.  The Company
expects that the additional capital necessary to complete the Calcasieu Parish
project will come from LRGP, Casino America or a financing source arranged by
either of them, and cash flows from operating the Calcasieu Parish project.
However, neither LRGP nor Casino America has a contractual obligation to
provide such capital and no assurance can be given that such parties will
provide the capital necessary to complete the planned improvements.

        In connection with the Agreement, SCGC bought out its prior casino
management agreement and entered into a new casino management agreement with
Casino America.  The Casino America management agreement has a term of 99 years
and provides for a management fee of (i) 2% of "Revenues," as defined in the
agreement (generally net gaming revenues less gaming and admission taxes plus
all other operating revenues), plus (ii) 10% of "Net Operating Income," as
defined in the agreement, provided however, the total management fee shall not
exceed 4% of "Revenues."  In the event the LRGP Note goes into default and the
Company reacquires LRGP's 50% interest in SCGC, SCGC will have the right to
terminate the Casino America management agreement.





                                      -23-
<PAGE>   26

        The Company and LRGP also entered into a shareholders' agreement
respecting their joint ownership of SCGC, which governs the ownership rights by
the Company and LRGP to the stock of SCGC.  The shareholders' agreement
provides, among other things, that in the event that either the Company or LRGP
desires to sell its interest in SCGC, whether through an asset or stock sale,
such shareholder must first offer to sell its interest in SCGC to the other
shareholder under the terms and conditions provided in the agreement.  Except
as expressly permitted by the shareholders' agreement, neither the Company nor
LRGP may sell, assign, or otherwise transfer or encumber any part of the SCGC
stock owned by either of them without the written consent of the other.

        In addition to the foregoing, the Company granted LRGP a right of first
refusal to jointly develop its 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming district
of Las Vegas in the event the Company chooses to develop such project on a
joint venture basis.

CALCASIEU PARISH CASINO FACILITIES

        The Calcasieu Parish casino (the "Casino") is a four deck riverboat
measuring approximately 292 feet in length by 74 feet in width.  The Casino
offers approximately 48,000 square feet of floor space including 26,000 square
feet which is used for active gaming operations.  The Casino contains
approximately 903 slot machines, all of which are equipped with IGT's
computerized player tracking system ("The Smart System"), which allows the
Casino to build a data base of its customers' playing habits, and 52 table
games (including black jack, craps, Caribbean stud and roulette) on three
levels for a total of approximately 1,250 gaming positions.  The fourth level
of the riverboat contains approximately 9,000 square feet of entertainment
space.  The Casino can accommodate 2,000 passengers and has been designed to
create a comfortable and spacious atmosphere.

        The Casino's land based support facilities currently consist of a
15,000 square foot temporary facility and a 1,400-space parking garage.
Construction of the permanent land-based pavilion, which when combined with the
temporary facility will encompass 90,000 square feet of space, is ongoing.  The
permanent land-based pavilion, which is expected to be completed in early 1996,
will contain a variety of non-gaming amenities such as restaurants, bars and
lounges, an entertainment area, a gift shop and a boarding area, as well as
administrative offices.  After completion of the permanent facility, SCGC plans
to begin construction of a 300-plus room hotel.

CALCASIEU PARISH SITE

        The Calcasieu Parish site (the "Site") consists of a 10.5 acre tract
and an adjacent 5.5 acre tract on the west bank of the Calcasieu River
bordering Lake Charles to the east and approximately 1/8 mile south of
Interstate 10.  The Site, located in the Greater Lake Charles area, is
approximately 28 miles east of the Texas border, which makes it the closest
riverboat gaming establishment to Houston, Texas.

        In March and July 1995, SCGC entered into agreements to lease the two
parcels of land that comprise the Site.  The leases have an initial term of
five years with seven five-year renewal options.  During the initial term, the
leases require annual rental payments of $850,000 in years one through four,
and $1,000,000 in year five, payable monthly.  During the first renewal term,
the rent will be increased annually by the greater of (i) 5%, or (ii) the
percentage increase in the average consumer price index for Calcasieu Parish,
Louisiana for the previous twelve month period.  During the second through
seventh renewal terms, the lessor and SCGC will attempt to set the rent equal
to 100% of the rent paid by other riverboat gaming operators in Louisiana and
Mississippi for comparable property usages, or if no agreement can be made,
then the parties will appoint real estate appraisers to set the rent for such
renewal term.  However, in no event shall the annual rent be less than $1.6
million during the fourth and all subsequent renewal terms.  In addition, SCGC
will pay all real estate taxes, except for taxes due on the





                                      -24-

unimproved value of the property.  The Company has guaranteed the obligations
of SCGC under these leases.

CALCASIEU PARISH RIVERBOAT OPERATIONS

        The Casino will make up to eight cruises per day at three-hour
intervals beginning at 8:45 a.m. with the latest cruise at 5:45 a.m.  While on
board the passengers will be offered a variety of slot machines, craps, black
jack, roulette, Caribbean stud and any other gaming opportunity for which there
is a perceived market demand.  Pursuant to Louisiana law, the Casino can remain
at the dock during periods of adverse weather at the discretion of the
riverboat captain and gaming can continue.

        The Casino's gaming operations are being managed by Casino America
pursuant to a casino management agreement which was executed simultaneously
with the Agreement.  SCGC had previously contracted with Century Casinos, Inc.
to manage the Casino's gaming operations.  As a result of the Agreement,
however, SCGC and Century Casinos, Inc. terminated their agreement pursuant to
which SCGC paid a termination fee of $4 million.

        Since 1992, Casino America has been a developer, owner and operator of
dockside riverboat and floating pavilion casinos and related facilities.
Casino America currently owns and operates floating pavilion casinos in Biloxi
and Vicksburg, Mississippi, and operates the dockside riverboat casino in
Bossier City, Louisiana owned by LRGP.  Casino America is generally
responsible, subject to the direction and approval of an executive management
committee, for the construction, development and operation of the Casino.
During the pre-opening and construction phase, Casino America is generally
expected to, among other things, (i) create the design and specifications of
the land-based facilities, (ii) assist in the supervision of construction
activities, (iii) assist in the purchasing of equipment for the land-based
facility, (iv) prepare operating budgets, (v) develop and implement operating
policies, marketing strategies and credit systems, (vi) hire and train
personnel, (vii) coordinate advertising and public relations, (viii) assist in
obtaining necessary licenses and permits, and (ix) provide other services
incidental to the completion of the development.

        During the operating phase Casino America is generally expected to,
among other things, (i) employ, pay, and supervise all employees of the Casino,
(ii) purchase or provide for all necessary supplies and provisions, (iii)
maintain, repair and operate the Casino in a first class and professional
manner, (iv) ensure compliance with all statutes, ordinances, laws, rules and
regulations of applicable governing bodies, (v) arrange for utilities,
telephone service, security and trash removal, (vi) supervise concessionaires,
(vii) establish and maintain accounting systems and internal controls, (viii)
hire, book, and retain entertainment, and (ix) provide additional services
necessary for the successful operation of the Casino.

CALCASIEU PARISH MARKET

        Calcasieu Parish has a population of approximately 172,000, including
approximately 160,000 in the Greater Lake Charles area.  The following table
reflects the estimated population within various distances from the Casino:

        Lake Charles is an active community with a cultural heritage and
community resources, including a symphony orchestra, ballet and numerous art
galleries and museums.  The area is also host to seasonal festivals and special
events which highlight Cajun food and music, historic crafts and water sports.
Lake Charles hosts the annual "Contraband Days," which is the second largest
festival in Louisiana after New Orleans' Mardi Gras Festival.  Contraband Days
spans a period of two weeks and attracts approximately 200,000 visitors to the
area.  In addition, Lake Charles has a civic center which offers a 2,000 seat
theater and a 50,000 square foot exhibition hall which is used for conventions,
sporting events and entertainment.  Lake Charles is well known for its outdoor
recreational activities including hunting, boating and fishing.

        U.S. Interstate 10 connects Lake Charles to Texas cities to the west,
including Orange (35 miles), Beaumont (58 miles), Port Arthur (59 miles),
Galveston (135 miles), and Houston (140 miles), and the Louisiana cities of
Baton Rouge (123 miles), and New Orleans (207 miles) to the east.  The Company
believes a majority of its patrons will come from Texas, particularly from the
Greater Houston area, due in large part to the current absence of legalized
casino gaming in Texas.

LAS VEGAS MARKET

        According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Association (the
"LVCVA"), the number of visitors to Las Vegas has increased at a steady and
significant rate for the last ten years from 12.8 million in 1984 to 28.2
million visitors in 1994, a compound annual rate of increase of 8.2%.
Aggregate expenditures by visitors increased at an estimated compound annual
rate of 11.7% from $6.3 billion in 1984 to an estimated $19.0 billion in 1994.
The number of hotel and motel rooms increased by approximately 44.2% from
61,394 in 1988 to 88,560 in 1994.  Despite this significant increase in hotel
and motel rooms the Las Vegas hotel occupancy rate exceeded 85% in each year
from 1988 to 1994.  Las Vegas hotel occupancy rates are among the highest of
any major market in the United States.

        The expansion of gaming in the United States has been accompanied by an
increasing acceptance of gaming as a form of entertainment.  As a result of the
increased popularity and public acceptance of gaming, Las Vegas has sought to
increase its popularity as a vacation resort.  An increasing number of
destination resorts are developing non-gaming entertainment to complement their
gaming in order to draw visitors to Las Vegas.  The Company believes that large
themed resorts will serve to increase the popularity of Las Vegas as a vacation
and convention destination.  The MGM Grand Hotel and Theme Park opened in
December 1993 with 5,000 hotel rooms, a multi-themed casino, and a large scale
amusement and entertainment facility.  Shortly before the MGM opening, the
Luxor's 2,600-room project along with Treasure Island's 2,900-room complex
adjacent to the Mirage opened.  By the end of 1997, it is anticipated that at
least another 8,500 hotel rooms will be opened in Las Vegas.  In addition,
Clark





                                      -26-

County, in which Las Vegas is located, has had one of the fastest growing
populations in the United States, increasing at a compound annual rate of 5.9%
from 1984 to 1994.

        The Company believes that the growth in the Las Vegas market has been
enhanced as a result of dedicated programs by the LVCVA and major Las Vegas
hotels to promote Las Vegas as a major convention site, the increased capacity
of McCarran International Airport ("McCarran") and the introduction of large
multi-themed destination resorts in Las Vegas.  In 1984, approximately one
million people attended conventions in Las Vegas and spent approximately $800
million.  In 1994, the number of convention attendees had increased to more
than 2.6 million, and the amount spent by convention attendees increased to
approximately $3.0 billion.  Currently, Las Vegas is the fourth largest
convention market in the country.

        During the past five years, the facilities of McCarran have been
expanded to accommodate the increasing number of airlines and passengers it
services.  The number of passengers traveling through McCarran increased from
10.1 million in 1984 to 26.9 million in 1994, a compound annual rate of
increase of 10.3%.  A $200 million expansion project was recently completed,
allowing for the accommodation of up to 30 million travelers annually.
Long-term expansion plans for McCarran provide for additional runways, three
new satellite concourses, 65 additional gates and other facilities which would
allow McCarran to handle up to 60 million visitors annually.

SALES AND MARKETING

        Calcasieu Parish.  SCGC's marketing strategy is to attract customers to
the Casino by designing and implementing marketing strategies and promotions
that emphasize the Isle of Capri's(SM) Caribbean theme and promote repeat
visitation and customer loyalty.  For example, SCGC offers Island Gold Players
Club membership for its slot machine patrons and "V.I.P." services to higher
wagering and repeat gaming patrons.  The Island Gold Players Club is a
promotional activity in which members accumulate points that can be exchanged
for benefits, such as casino cash tokens, prizes and complimentary services.
In addition, Club members receive double hand-paid jackpots, tournament
priority and monthly newsletters.  It is anticipated that (to the extent
permitted by law) Club membership cards will be usable on an interchangeable
basis at other Isle of Capri(SM) casino properties.  Further, SCGC uses the
Club to track patron slot play and develop a customer database, which SCGC
utilizes in its marketing programs.

        To encourage group sales, SCGC emphasizes bus programs, corporate and
hotel sales programs and golf package programs with area hotels and golf
courses.  SCGC also places a significant emphasis on attracting local residents
and seeks to maintain a strong local identity by being a leader in staging and
supporting special events.  SCGC further enhances its casino's appeal to local
patrons by offering liberal rules on its table games and by encouraging
enrollment in the Island Gold Players Club.

        SCGC uses radio, outdoor and print media to promote its services and to
achieve greater name recognition.  To further enhance the Isle of Capri(SM)
casino tropical theme, SCGC utilizes Jeffrey Holder, a well known actor and
television personality popularly known as the "Uncola(R) Man,"(1) as a celebrity
spokesperson for certain of the Isle of Capri(SM) television and print media
advertisements.

        Las Vegas.  The Bourbon Street Casino is located one block east of the
Las Vegas Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard) in Las Vegas.  Within this block are
situated some of the most famous hotels in the world:  Bally's, Flamingo
Hilton, Caesar's Palace, Barbary Coast, and the soon to be built Bellagio.  In





- --------------------
  (1)   The Uncola(R) trademark is owned by Dr. Pepper/Seven-Up Companies, Inc.

                                       -27-
<PAGE>   30

the past two years over 11,000 hotel rooms have opened on the Strip and over
6,000 additional rooms are presently under construction.  In 1994, the Las
Vegas visitor count increased 19% over 1993, with over 28 million visitors,
augmenting the already highly competitive atmosphere in the city.

        Management believes that the size of the Bourbon Street Casino lends
itself to a specific market.  With 150 rooms, 16 suites, and 15,000 square feet
of gaming space, it is small in comparison to other Strip hotels.  Many of the
major Strip hotels have over 2,000 rooms, with vast casino and public areas.
The major Strip hotels market to families as well as the traditional gambler.
Rising operating costs and significant debt service have forced many larger
hotels to reduce the complementaries that gamblers have been accustomed to
receiving.  The Bourbon Street Casino, on the other hand, has the ability to
cater to players by virtue of its smaller size, with personal recognition and
attention to detail, offering a more rewarding experience for those whose main
purpose in visiting Las Vegas is to gamble.  Management believes that its
target customer is less interested in a family experience or the theatrical
type attractions found at many of the new Strip properties.  Availability of
the most popular games, with better odds for the player, favorable limits, good
food, and pleasant surroundings are the key features to offer the Bourbon
Street Casino customer.  In addition, the Bourbon Street Casino endeavors to
garner some of the locals market.  Locals often do not frequent the Strip area,
believing it to be too congested, with parking extremely difficult, and less
friendly service than may be found at the local casinos.  The Bourbon Street
Casino, on the other hand, is more accessible and prides itself on a friendly
staff and more personal recognition.  Management plans to refurbish the casino
areas, brightening all the areas and making it more comfortable and attractive.
Slot machines have become the mainstay of the casino industry, and in this
regard, management plans to upgrade and replace most of the existing machines.

        Management is also considering the possible future expansion of the
Bourbon Street Casino, as the current buildings only cover approximately 50% of
the land being purchased by the Company.  Marketing efforts presently are
concentrated on the existing customer data base and tour and travel
wholesalers.  Management intends to focus more on marketing to junket
operators, who generally service more serious gamblers, and to travel agents in
key markets such as California and Arizona.  Local marketing efforts will also
be utilized, and new collateral marketing materials will be developed.

INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION

        The gaming industry nationwide is undergoing dramatic transformation.
The legalization of gaming on Indian reservations has influenced the spread of
gaming throughout the U.S.  An active area of expansion is riverboat gaming
which presently is permitted in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Louisiana
and Mississippi.  In addition, ballots and referenda related to some form of
legalized gaming are being considered in several other states.  Given the
success and generally positive reception to date, management believes that
gaming is likely to continue to expand.

        The Company believes that the expansion into emerging markets of
gaming, including riverboat and dockside gaming, state sponsored video
lotteries, small stakes casino gaming and gaming on Indian land, reflects the
increasing popularity and acceptability of gaming activities in the United
States.  The primary reason for the growth in the legalization of riverboat and
dockside gaming is attributable to a need by states to increase tax revenues
and create jobs without increasing general taxation.  Secondly, riverboat and
dockside gaming is apparently more palatable to the general public than
traditional land-based casinos because riverboat casinos are by their nature
restricted to waterways and therefore remove some of the public's concern of
having a casino operating in their neighborhood.  Lastly, as public officials
see their citizens travel across borders to neighboring states that have
approved gaming, there is competitive pressure to pass gaming legislation and
retain the related tax revenues.





                                      -28-
<PAGE>   31

        Riverboat gaming operations can differ from traditional land based
casinos in that they can charge for admission, sometimes require reservations,
and can restrict entry and departure to a period of fixed duration.  Even when
the vessels remain at the dock during inclement weather, boarding times may be
restricted.  The casino floor, however, does not need to be cleared between
gaming sessions.  Riverboats, unlike land based facilities, are also regulated
by the U.S. Coast Guard, whose regulations affect boat design, on-board
facilities, equipment and personnel.

        The casino gaming industry is highly fragmented and characterized by a
high degree of competition among a large number of participants, including
riverboat, dockside and land-based casinos, video lottery terminals, Indian
gaming, and other forms of legalized gaming in the United States.  The Company
will be competing with larger, more established gaming companies, many of which
have far greater financial resources than the Company.  The Company believes
that competition in the gaming industry, particularly the riverboat and
dockside gaming industry, is based on the quality and location of gaming
facilities, the effectiveness of marketing efforts, and customer service and
satisfaction.  Although management of the Company believes that the location of
the Calcasieu Parish Casino will allow the Company to effectively compete with
other casinos in the geographic area surrounding it, the Company expects
competition in the casino gaming industry to be intense as more casinos are
opened and new entrants into the gaming industry become operational.

        Calcasieu Parish.  Louisiana state law currently limits the number of
riverboat gaming licenses that may be granted to fifteen, plus a single
land-based facility in New Orleans.  There are also Indian gaming casinos
operating in the state, which are not subject to Louisiana gaming laws.  The
Company believes Louisiana's self imposed limitation on the number of licenses
that may be granted may create a favorable operating environment for the
holders of such licenses.

        The primary market area for the Calcasieu Parish Casino includes the
Houston, Texas metropolitan area, other population centers west of the Casino
such as Beaumont, Galveston, Orange and Port Arthur, Texas, and population
centers east of the Casino such as Lafayette and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  SCGC
expects that more than half of its patrons will come from Texas, with a
significant portion coming from metropolitan Houston.  Although casino gaming
is not currently permitted in Texas, the Texas legislature has considered
various proposals to authorize casino gaming.  Gaming cannot commence in Texas
until the legislature adopts appropriate legislation (which may require an
amendment to the Texas Constitution and an affirmative vote of the people) and
operators complete the licensing and construction process.  If casinos commence
operations in Texas in or near SCGC's primary market area, they would adversely
affect the Calcasieu Parish Casino.

        The Calcasieu Parish Casino is the third riverboat gaming facility to
enter the Lake Charles, Louisiana market.  Two riverboats, containing an
aggregate of approximately 50,000 square feet of casino floor space, currently
operate from a single location in the City of Lake Charles approximately three
miles from the site of SCGC's Casino.  In addition, a land-based, Indian-owned
casino opened in January 1995 in Kinder, Louisiana, approximately 39 miles from
the site of the Casino.  As a new entrant into the Lake Charles market, the
Casino faces the additional challenge of competing for established customers of
its competitors.  Management believes that the Casino has several competitive
advantages in the Lake Charles gaming market.  The Casino, with its location at
the western end of the Lake Charles gaming market, will be the first gaming
facility reached by patrons arriving from the west, including Texas.  The
Company intends to capitalize on its superior location by maximizing the
visibility of the Casino with a 120-foot-high tower.  Moreover, management
believes that free on-site covered parking facilities further enhance the
competitive advantages of the Casino.

        Las Vegas.  The Bourbon Street Casino faces competition from other
casinos and hotels in the Las Vegas area, including competitors located on the
Las Vegas Strip, east of the Las Vegas Strip, on





                                      -29-
<PAGE>   32

the Boulder Highway and in downtown Las Vegas.  Such competition includes a
number of operations that  target local residents, as well as gaming facilities
not related to hotels.  Recently, several of the Company's direct competitors
who cater to the "locals" market have completed major expansion projects, and
other expansions are in progress or are planned.  Currently, there are
approximately 27 major gaming properties located on or near the Las Vegas
Strip, 12 located in the downtown area, and several located in other areas of
Las Vegas.

        The Bourbon Street Casino competes with other state and international
gaming operations, as well as hotel-casinos located in the Laughlin and
Reno-Lake Tahoe areas of Nevada.  The Company believes that it competes for
gaming customers with the casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey and other parts
of the world, and with state-sponsored lotteries, on- and off-track wagering,
card parlors, riverboat and Native American gaming ventures and other forms of
legalized gaming in the United States, as well as with gaming on cruise ships.
In addition, certain states have recently legalized and several other states
are currently considering legalizing casino gaming in specific geographic areas
within those states.  The Company believes that the legalization of unlimited
land-based casino gaming in or near any major metropolitan area, such as
Chicago or Los Angeles, could have a material adverse effect on the Bourbon
Street Casino.  The availability of other gaming opportunities such as local
casinos, lotteries and other forms of gaming in other states, particularly in
areas close to Nevada, such as California, could adversely affect the Bourbon
Street Casino.

LOUISIANA GAMING REGULATION

        In July 1991, the Louisiana legislature adopted legislation permitting
certain types of gaming activity on the Mississippi, Red, Calcasieu, Mermentau,
Ouachita or Atchafalaya rivers, in the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, Bayou
Bienvenue, Lake Ponchartrain, Lake Maurepas, Lake Charles and the Intracoastal
Waterway.  In 1995, this legislation was expanded to include the Toledo Bend
Reservoir north of the Toledo Bend Dam.

        The legislation granted authority to supervise gaming activities to the
Gaming Commission and the Enforcement Division.  The Gaming Commission is
authorized to hear and determine all appeals relative to the granting,
suspension, revocation, and renewal of all licenses, permits and applications.
In addition, the Gaming Commission must establish regulations concerning
authorized routes and duration of excursions, minimum levels of insurance,
construction of riverboats and periodic inspections.  The Enforcement Division
is authorized to investigate applicants and issue licenses, investigate
violations of the statute and conduct reviews of gaming activities.

        In issuing a license, the Enforcement Division must find that the
applicant is a person of good character, honesty and integrity, and the
applicant is a person whose prior activities, criminal record, if any,
reputation, habits and associations do not pose a threat to the public interest
of the State of Louisiana or to the effective regulation and control of gaming,
or create or enhance the dangers of unsuitable, unfair or illegal practices,
methods, and activities in the conduct of gaming or the carrying on of business
and financial arrangements in connection therewith.  The Enforcement Division
will not grant a license unless it finds that:  (i) the applicant is capable of
conducting gaming operations, which means that the applicant can demonstrate
the capability, either through training, education, business experience, or a
combination of the above to operate a gaming casino; (ii) the proposed
financing of the riverboat and the gaming operations is adequate for the nature
of the proposed operation and from a source suitable and acceptable to the
Enforcement Division; (iii) the applicant demonstrates a proven ability to
operate a vessel of comparable size, capacity and complexity to a riverboat so
as to ensure the safety of its passengers; (iv) the applicant submits a
detailed plan of design of the riverboat in its application for a license; (v)
the applicant designates the docking facilities to be used by the riverboat;
(vi) the applicant shows adequate





                                      -30-
<PAGE>   33

financial ability to construct and maintain a riverboat; and (vii) the
applicant has a good faith plan to recruit, train, and upgrade minorities in
all employment classifications.

        The Enforcement Division is empowered to issue up to fifteen licenses
to conduct gaming activities on a riverboat of new construction in accordance
with applicable law.  However, no more than six licenses may be granted to
riverboats operating from any one parish.

        The Louisiana gaming law specifies certain restrictions and conditions
relating to riverboat gaming operations, including but not limited to the
following:  (i) gaming is not permitted while a riverboat is docked, unless the
vessel is docked for less than 45 minutes between excursions, or unless
dangerous weather or water conditions exist; (ii) each round trip riverboat
cruise may not be less than three nor more than eight hours in duration
(inclusive of the 45 minutes between excursions), subject to specified
exceptions; (iii) agents of the Enforcement Division are permitted on board at
any time during gaming operations; (iv) gaming devices, equipment, and supplies
may only be purchased or leased from permitted suppliers; (v) gaming may only
take place in the designated gaming area while the riverboat is upon a
designated river or waterway; (vi) gaming equipment may not be possessed,
maintained, or exhibited by any person on a riverboat except in the
specifically designated gaming area, or a secure area used for inspection,
repair, or storage of such equipment; (vii) wagers may be received only from a
person present on a licensed riverboat; (viii) persons under 21 are not
permitted in designated gaming areas; (ix) except for slot machine play, wagers
may be made only with tokens, chips, or electronic cards purchased from the
licensee aboard a riverboat; (x) licensees may only use docking facilities and
routes for which they are licensed and may only board and discharge passengers
at the riverboat's licensed berth; (xi) licensees must have adequate protection
and indemnity insurance; (xii) licensees must have all necessary federal and
state licenses, certificates, and other regulatory approvals prior to operating
a riverboat; and (xiii) gaming may only be conducted in accordance with the
terms of the license and the rules and regulations adopted by the Enforcement
Division.

        Louisiana law permits 24-hour unlimited stakes gaming on newly
constructed riverboats which conduct cruises, does not have loss or bet
limitations, but restricts the percentage of space on a riverboat that may be
utilized for gaming to the lesser of (a) 60% of the total square footage of the
passenger access area, or (b) 30,000 square feet. A total of fifteen riverboat
gaming licenses are authorized to be granted, with a maximum of six riverboat
gaming licenses in any one parish.  Louisiana law also allows a single,
land-based casino in the City of New Orleans.  The legal age for gaming in
Louisiana is 21.

        The license fee to conduct gaming activities on a riverboat is (i)
$50,000 per riverboat for the first year of operation and $100,000 per year per
riverboat thereafter plus (ii) 3 1/2% of the net gaming proceeds.  In addition,
an annual franchise fee of 15% of the net gaming proceeds is charged to conduct
operations on Louisiana waterways.  The local governing authority (city or
parish) is permitted to assess the riverboat operation up to $2.50 per person
as an admissions tax.  In addition, Calcasieu Parish has a statutory 50c. per
head admissions tax applicable to riverboat gaming operations, the proceeds of
which are used to support education.

        The transfer of a license or permit or an interest in a license or
permit is prohibited.  The sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, or disposition
of securities which represent 5% or more of the total outstanding shares issued
by a corporation that holds a license is subject to Enforcement Division
approval.  A security issued by a corporation that holds a license must
generally disclose these restrictions.

        The conditions to SCGC's permanent riverboat casino license include the
operation of the riverboat under an approved plan of security and internal
controls for a period of six months, exercising due diligence in the
development of its planned hotel in Calcasieu Parish, and obtaining of the





                                      -31-
<PAGE>   34

Enforcement Division's prior written approval to any modification to its plans
for such hotel, including the abandonment of any portion of the project.  Upon
satisfaction of the conditions to the license, a permanent license will be
issued by the Enforcement Division.

NEVADA GAMING REGULATION

        The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in Nevada are
subject to: (i) the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (collectively, the "Nevada Act"); and (ii) various local ordinances
and regulations.  Gaming operations in Nevada are subject to the licensing and
regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming Commission ("Nevada Commission"), the
Nevada State Gaming Control Board ("Nevada Board") and various other county and
city regulatory agencies, including the City of Las Vegas, collectively
referred to as the "Nevada Gaming Authorities."

        The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Nevada Gaming
Authorities are based upon declarations of public policy which are concerned
with, among other things: (i) the prevention of unsavory or unsuitable persons
from having a direct or indirect involvement with gaming at any time or in any
capacity; (ii) the establishment and maintenance of responsible accounting
practices and procedures; (iii) the maintenance of effective controls over the
financial practices of licensees, including the establishment of minimum
procedures for internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of assets and
revenues, providing reliable recordkeeping and requiring the filing of periodic
reports with the Nevada Gaming Authorities; (iv) the prevention of cheating and
fraudulent practices; and (v) providing a source of state and local revenues
through taxation and licensing fees.  Changes in such laws, regulations and
procedures could have an adverse effect on the Company's proposed gaming
operations.

        The Company will be required to be registered with the Nevada
Commission as a publicly traded corporation (a "Registered Corporation") and to
be found suitable to own the stock of the Bourbon Street Casino.  The Bourbon
Street Casino is licensed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities as a corporate
licensee ( a "Corporate Licensee") under the terms of the Nevada Act.  The
following regulatory requirements will be applicable to the Company and the
Bourbon Street Casino upon their receipt of all necessary approvals from the
Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with their applications for
registration or licensing, as applicable.  There can be no assurance that such
approvals will be obtained or that if obtained, that they will be obtained on a
timely basis.

        As a Registered Corporation, the Company will be required periodically
to submit detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Commission and
furnish any other information which the Nevada Commission may require.  No
person may become a stockholder of, or receive, any percentage of profits from
a Corporate Licensee without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the
Nevada Gaming Authorities.

        The Nevada Gaming Authorities may investigate any individual who has a
material relationship to, or material involvement with, the Company or the
Corporate Licensee in order to determine whether such individual is suitable or
should be licensed as a business associate of the Corporate Licensee.
Officers, directors and certain key employees of the Corporate Licensee will be
required to file applications with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and may be
required to be licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities.
Officers, directors and key employees of the Company who are actively and
directly involved in the activities of the Corporate Licensee may be required
to be licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities.  The Nevada
Gaming Authorities may deny an application for licensing, and both require
submission of detailed personal and financial information followed by a
thorough investigation.  The applicant for licensing or a finding of
suitability must pay all the costs of the investigation.  Changes in licensed
positions must be reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities and in addition to
their authority to deny an application for a finding of suitability or





                                      -32-
<PAGE>   35

licensure, the Nevada Gaming Authorities have jurisdiction to disapprove a
change in a corporate position.

        If the Nevada Gaming Authorities were to find an officer, director or
key employee unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue having a
relationship with the Company or the Corporate Licensee, the companies involved
would have to sever all relationships with such person.  In addition, the
Nevada Commission may require the Company or the Corporate Licensee to
terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate
applications.  Determinations of suitability or resolutions of questions
pertaining to licensing are not subject to judicial review in Nevada.

        The Company and the Corporate Licensee will be required to submit
detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Commission.
Substantially all material loans, liens, sales of securities and similar
financing transactions by the Corporate Licensee will be required to be
reported to or approved by the Nevada Commission.

        If it were determined that the Nevada Act was violated by the Corporate
Licensee, the licenses it holds could be limited, conditioned, suspended or
revoked, subject to compliance with certain statutory and regulatory
procedures.  In addition, the Company, the Corporate Licensee and the persons
involved could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of
the Nevada Act at the discretion of the Nevada Commission.  Limitation,
conditioning or suspension of the licenses of the Corporate Licensee could (and
revocation of any license of the Corporate Licensee would) materially adversely
affect the Company.

        Any beneficial holder of a Registered Corporation's voting securities,
regardless of the number of shares owned, may be required to file an
application, be investigated and have its suitability as a beneficial holder of
the Registered Corporation's voting securities determined if the Nevada
Commission has reason to believe that such ownership would otherwise be
inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada.  The applicant
must pay all costs of investigation incurred by the Nevada Gaming Authorities
in conducting any such investigation.

        The Nevada Act requires any person who acquires more than 5% of a
Registered Corporation's voting securities to report the acquisition to the
Nevada Commission.  The Nevada Act requires that beneficial owners of more than
10% of a Registered Corporation's voting securities apply to the Nevada
Commission for a finding of suitability within thirty days after the Chairman
of the Nevada Board mails the written notice requiring such filing.  Under
certain circumstances, an "institutional investor," as defined in the Nevada
Act, which acquires more than 10%, but not more than 15%, of a Registered
Corporation's voting securities may apply to the Nevada Commission for a waiver
of such finding of suitability if such institutional investor holds the voting
securities for investment purposes only.  An institutional investor shall not
be deemed to hold voting securities for investment purposes unless the voting
securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business as an
institutional investor and not for the purpose of causing, directly or
indirectly, the election of a majority of the members of the board of directors
of the Registered Corporation, any change in the Registered Corporation's
corporate charter, bylaws, management, policies or operations, or any of its
gaming affiliates, or any other action which the Nevada Commission finds to be
inconsistent with holding the Registered Corporation's voting securities for
investment purposes only.  Activities which are not deemed to be inconsistent
with holding voting securities for investment purposes only include: (i) voting
on all matters voted on by stockholders; (ii) making financial and the other
inquiries of management of the type normally made by securities analysts for
informational purposes and not to cause a change in its management, policies or
operations; and (iii) such other activities as the Nevada Commission may
determine to the consistent with such investment intent.  If the beneficial
holder of voting securities who must be found suitable is a corporation,
partnership or trust, it must submit detailed business and financial





                                      -33-
<PAGE>   36

information including a list of beneficial owners.  The applicant is required
to pay all costs of investigation.

        Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability
or a license within thirty days after being ordered to do so by the Nevada
Commission or the Chairman of the Nevada Board, may be found unsuitable.  The
same restrictions apply to a record owner if the record owner, after request,
fails to identify the beneficial owner.  Any stockholder found unsuitable and
who holds, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of the voting
securities of the Company beyond such period of time as may be prescribed by
the Nevada Commission may be guilty of a criminal offense.  The Company will be
subject to disciplinary action if, after it receives a notice that a person is
unsuitable to be a stockholder or to have any other relationship with it, it
(i) pays that person any dividend or interest upon voting securities of the
Company, (ii) allows that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any
voting right conferred through securities held by that person, (iii) pays
remunerations in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise, or
(iv) fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require such unsuitable person to
relinquish his voting securities including, if necessary, the immediate
purchase of said voting securities for cash at fair market value.

        The Nevada Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any
debt security of a Registered Corporation to file applications, be investigated
and be found suitable to own the debt security of a Registered Corporation.  If
the Nevada Commission determines that a person is unsuitable to own such
security, then pursuant to the Nevada Act, the Registered Corporation can be
sanctioned, including the loss of its approvals, if without the prior approval
of the Nevada Commission, it: (i) pays to the unsuitable person any dividend,
interest, or any distribution whatsoever; (ii) recognizes any voting right by
such unsuitable person in connection with such securities; (iii) pays the
unsuitable person remunerations in any form; or (iv) makes any payment to the
unsuitable person by way of principal, redemption, conversion, exchange,
liquidation, or similar transaction.

        The Company will be required to maintain a current stock ledger in
Nevada which may be examined by the Nevada Gaming Authorities at any time.  If
any securities are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record holder
may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner to the Nevada
Gaming Authorities.  A failure to make such disclosure may be grounds for
finding the record holder unsuitable.  The Company will also be required to
render maximum assistance in determining the identity of the beneficial owner.
The Company will also be required to disclose to the Nevada Commission, upon
its request, the identities of any of their security holders.  The Nevada
Commission has the power to require the stock certificates of the Company to
bear a legend indicating that the securities are subject to the Nevada Act.  It
is unknown whether the Nevada Commission will impose such a requirement on the
Company.

        After becoming a Registered Corporation, the Company may not make a
public offering of its securities without the prior approval of the Nevada
Commission if the securities or proceeds therefrom are intended to be used to
construct, acquire or finance gaming facilities in Nevada, or to retire or
extend obligations incurred for such purposes.

        The regulations of the Nevada Board and the Nevada Commission also
provide that any entity which is not an "affiliated company," as such term is
defined in the Nevada Act, or which is not otherwise subject to the provisions
of the Nevada Act or such regulations, such as the Company, which plans to make
a public offering of securities intending to use such securities, or the
proceeds from the sale thereof for the construction or operation of gaming
facilities in Nevada, or to retire or extend obligations incurred for such
purposes, may apply to the Nevada Commission for prior approval of such
offering. The Nevada Commission may find an applicant unsuitable to be a
holding company if it did not submit such an application.





                                      -34-

        Changes in control of a Registered Corporation through merger,
consolidation, stock or asset acquisitions, management or consulting
agreements, or any act or conduct by a person whereby he obtains control, may
not occur without the prior approval of the Nevada Commission.  Entities
seeking to acquire control of a Registered Corporation must satisfy the Nevada
Board and Nevada Commission in a variety of stringent standards prior to
assuming control of such Registered Corporation.  The Nevada Commission may
also require controlling stockholders, officers, directors and other persons
having a material relationship or involvement with the entity proposing to
acquire control, to be investigated and licensed as part of the approval
process relating to the transaction.

        The Nevada legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions
opposed by management, repurchases of voting securities and corporate defense
tactics affecting Nevada corporate gaming licensees, and Registered
Corporations that are affiliated with those operations, may be injurious to
stable and productive corporate gaming.  The Nevada Commission has established
a regulatory scheme to ameliorate the potentially adverse effects of these
business practices upon Nevada's gaming industry and to further Nevada's policy
to: (i) assure the financial stability of corporate gaming licensees and their
affiliates; (ii) preserve the beneficial aspects of conducting business in the
corporate form; and (iii) promote a neutral environment for the orderly
governance of corporate affairs.  Approvals are, in certain circumstances,
required from the Nevada Commission before the Registered Corporation can make
exceptional repurchases of voting securities above the current market price
thereof and before a corporate acquisition opposed by management can be
consummated.  The Nevada Act also requires prior approval of a plan of
recapitalization proposed by the Registered Corporation's Board of Directors in
response to a tender offer made directly to the Registered Corporation's
stockholders for the purposes of acquiring control of the Registered
Corporation.

        License fees and taxes, computed in various ways depending on the type
of gaming or activity involved, are payable to the State of Nevada and to the
counties and cities in which the Nevada licensee's respective operations are
conducted.  Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees and
taxes are payable either monthly, quarterly or annually and are based upon
either: (i) a percentage of the gross revenues received; (ii) the number of
gaming devices operated; or (iii) the number of table games operated.  A casino
entertainment tax is also paid by casino operations where entertainment is
furnished in connection with the selling of food or refreshments.  Nevada
licensees that hold a license to manufacture or distribute gaming devices also
pay certain fees and taxes to the State of Nevada.

        Any person who is licensed, required to be licensed, registered,
required to be registered, or is under common control with such persons
(collectively, "Licensees"), and who proposes to become involved in a gaming
venture outside of Nevada, is required to deposit with the Nevada Board, and
thereafter maintain, a revolving fund in the amount of $10,000 to pay the
expenses of investigation by the Nevada Board of their participation in such
foreign gaming.  The revolving fund is subject to increase or decrease in the
discretion of the Nevada Commission.  Thereafter, Licensees are required to
comply with certain reporting requirements imposed by the Nevada Act.
Licensees are also subject to disciplinary action by the Nevada Commission if
they knowingly violate any laws of the foreign jurisdiction pertaining to the
foreign gaming operation, fail to conduct the foreign gaming operation in
accordance with the standards of honesty and integrity required of Nevada
gaming operations, engage in activities that are harmful to the State of Nevada
or its ability to collect gaming taxes and fees, or employ a person in the
foreign operation who was denied a license or finding of suitability in Nevada
on the grounds of personal unsuitability.

NON-GAMING REGULATIONS

        The Company is subject to certain federal, state and local safety and
health laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to non-gaming businesses
generally, such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act,





                                      -35-
<PAGE>   38

Occupational Safety and Health Act, Resource Conservation Recovery Act, and the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.  The
Company has not made, and does not anticipate making, material expenditures
with respect to such environmental laws and regulations.  However, the coverage
and attendant compliance costs associated with such laws, regulations and
ordinances may result in future additional costs to the Company's operations.

        The federal Merchant Marine Act of 1936 and the federal Shipping Act of
1916 and applicable regulations thereunder contain provisions designed to
prevent persons who are not citizens of the United States from holding in the
aggregate more than 25% of the outstanding shares of common stock of entities
subject to such regulation.

        All navigable vessels must comply with U.S. Coast Guard requirements as
to boat design, on-board facilities, equipment, personnel (including
requirements that each vessel be operated by a minimum complement of personnel)
and safety.  Each vessel must hold a Certificate of Inspection from the Coast
Guard.  The Coast Guard requirements establish design standards, set limits on
the operation of the vessels and require individual licensing of certain
personnel involved with the operation of the vessel.  The Calcasieu Parish
Casino is subject to periodic inspections by the Coast Guard and every five
years the Casino must be dry docked for hull and other inspections, which will
result in a loss of service that can have an adverse effect on the Company.
Failure to hold a Certificate of Inspection would preclude the use of the
riverboat as a floating casino.

        All shipboard employees of SCGC, even those not involved in the actual
operation of the vessel, such as dealers, cocktail hostesses and security
personnel, may be subject to the Jones Act which, among other things, exempts
those employees from state limits on workers' compensation awards.

        Continuing construction activities on the Site require the approval of
a variety of regulatory agencies including those associated with sewage, fire
and building safety, food service and sanitation and other construction and
development related matters.

FUTURE EXPANSION

        In December 1993, Crown acquired all of the outstanding stock of GEMS,
which had an option to purchase an 18.6 acre tract of land for $10 million in
the gaming district of Las Vegas located across the street from the Gold Coast
Hotel and Casino.  GEMS exercised the option and purchased the land on June 8,
1994.  The land has received zoning approval for the construction of a
12-story, 400-room hotel and casino known as the Desert Winds Hotel and Casino.
Crown intends to develop the Desert Winds project either independently or
through a joint venture.  In connection with the joint venture agreement with
LRGP, the Company granted LRGP a right of first refusal to jointly develop its
Desert Winds project in the event the Company chooses to develop such project
on a joint venture basis.  GEMS has no other operations other than its
development of the Desert Winds project.

        In July 1995, the Company entered in to a definitive asset purchase
agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada for a
purchase price of $10 million, of which $500,000 was deposited in an escrow
account and is subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, generally in the
event that the terms of the agreement are breached by the Company.  The Bourbon
Street Casino has approximately 430 slot machines and 15 table games over its
15,000 square feet of gaming space, 166 hotel rooms, including 16 suites, and
has reported annual revenue of approximately $12 million.  Consummation of this
transaction is scheduled to occur in October 1995, unless extended by the
parties.  In the event the Company is not licensed to operate a casino in
Nevada prior to the first closing of the Bourbon Street Casino acquisition, the
Company will lease the Bourbon Street Casino back to the current gaming
operator for $62,500 per month.  In the event that the Company does not obtain
a Nevada gaming





                                      -36-
<PAGE>   39

license within sixteen (16) months after the first closing date, the previous
owners of the casino may terminate the lease and will be under no obligation to
sell the gaming assets to the Company.

        In August 1995, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Calcasieu
Gaming Corporation, LLC ("Calcasieu Gaming"), that applied for a certificate of
preliminary approval to dock a second riverboat casino at SCGC's site in
Calcasieu Parish.  The Company applied to the Gaming Commission for a
certificate of preliminary approval for a license which had been previously
issued by the Gaming Commission to a third party and was subsequently
surrendered back to the State by such third party due to a decision to abandon
the project.  Thirteen other applicants have also applied for preliminary
approval for this license.  No action has been taken by the Gaming Commission,
and a recent notice to the applicants from the Gaming Commission indicates that
all proceedings regarding the preliminary approval process have been suspended
pending the resolution of certain legal proceedings regarding the parameters of
the Gaming Commission's statutory authority.

        The Company is also pursuing opportunities to potentially acquire a
second riverboat casino which would be operated from SCGC's existing site in
Calcasieu Parish, although no agreement has been reached with any third party
respecting such an acquisition and any such acquisition would require various
state and local regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Gaming
Commission and the Enforcement Division.  The Company anticipates that the
operation of a second riverboat casino at the Calcasieu Parish site would
involve joint ownership or a joint venture arrangement with LRGP or Casino
America.

EMPLOYEES

        At September 15, 1995 the Company employed 11 persons full time.  None
of the Company's employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement and
the Company believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.  SCGC
currently employs approximately 1,000 persons full time.  The Bourbon Street
Casino currently employs approximately 350 persons full time.

PROPERTIES

        The Company currently maintains its executive offices in approximately
3,000 square feet of leased office space in Dallas, Texas.  In July 1995, the
Company executed a lease for approximately 6,000 square feet of office space at
a different location in the Dallas area.  The lease has a five-year term with
two three-year renewal options.  During the initial term, annual rent
(excluding insurance, taxes and common area maintenance charges) ranges from
$65,450 in year one to $77,350 in year five.

        On July 8, 1994, SCGC purchased its Calcasieu Parish Casino.  The
Casino consists of four decks and an aggregate of 48,000 square feet of floor
space, including 26,000 square feet to be used for active gaming operations.

        In March and July 1995, SCGC entered into agreements to lease the two
parcels of land that compromise the 16-acre Calcasieu Parish site.  The leases
have an initial term of five years with seven five-year renewal options.
During the initial term, the leases require annual rental payments of $850,000
(excluding property taxes) in years one through four, and $1,000,000 in year
five, payable monthly.

        In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase
agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada for
a purchase price of $10 million.  The Bourbon Street Casino has 166 hotel
rooms, including 16 suites. Closing is scheduled to occur in October 1995,
unless extended by the parties.





                                      -37-

        The Company owns 6.5 acres of land adjacent to the Mississippi River
levee in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana that it had planned to use in connection
with its former riverboat casino site in St. Charles Parish.  The Company will
seek to sell such property in the near future.

        The Company, through its GEMS subsidiary, exercised an option to
purchase an 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada
on June 8, 1994, for $10 million.  The land has received zoning approval for
the construction of a 12-story, 400-room hotel and casino.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

        The Company's operations do not qualify it as a hazardous waste
generator and the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations governing the discharge of hazardous waste into the
environment.

PENDING LITIGATION

        Other than as set forth below, there are no pending legal proceedings
to which the Company is a party or of which any of its properties are subject
that the Company believes have the potential to have a material adverse effect
on the Company.  There are no material proceedings known to the Company being
contemplated by any governmental authority.  There are no material proceedings
known to the Company, pending or contemplated, in which any director, officer
or affiliate or any principal security holder of the Company or any associate
of any of the foregoing, is a party or has an interest, adverse to the Company.

        On September 21, 1994, an action was filed against the Company and SCGC
in the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana by
Avondale Industries, Inc. ("Avondale").  In this action, Avondale alleges that
the Company was contractually obligated to Avondale for the construction of
SCGC's riverboat vessel based upon a letter of intent (allegedly reaffirming a
previous agreement entered into between Avondale and SCGC).  Avondale alleges
that the Company breached a duty to negotiate in good faith toward the
execution of a definitive Vessel Construction Contract.  Alternatively,
Avondale alleges that a separate, oral contract for the construction of the
vessel existed and that the Company committed unspecified unfair trade
practices and misrepresentation.  Avondale seeks unspecified damages including
"all lost profits and lost overhead" and attorneys fees.  The Company intends
to vigorously contest liability in this matter.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        Effective January 1, 1988, the Company entered into a five-year
employment agreement with Edward R. McMurphy.  The employment agreement was
amended in February 1991 to extend the term of employment for five years from
January 1, 1991, terminating on December 31, 1995.  The amendment provides for
an annual base salary of at least $125,000, and awarded incentive stock options
to Mr. McMurphy covering 30,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.65625, which
options vested at the rate of 10,000 shares per year commencing on January 1,
1993, and have a term of ten years expiring on February 25, 2001.

        In the event of Mr. McMurphy's death or disability during the term of
employment, Mr. McMurphy or his designated beneficiary or estate will be paid
an amount equal to the annual base salary as then in effect on the date of Mr.
McMurphy's death or disability, as the case may be.  The Company may, upon 30
days' written notice, terminate his employment "without cause" upon the
condition that he shall be entitled, during the balance of the term of
employment, to the annual base salary which would otherwise be payable to him
had he remained in the employ of the Company.

        $4.84375 per share, and all options held by the above officer were
        in-the-money.  The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will
        depend upon the amount by which the market price of the Company's
        common stock exceeds the exercise price when the options are exercised.


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        Effective May 1, 1995, non-employee directors of the Company receive a
$20,000 annual retainer, $1,500 per board meeting attended in person, and $500
per committee meeting attended in person.  Directors who are also employees of
the Company do not receive separate compensation for their services as a
director.  In February 1991, the Board of Directors adopted the Company's 1991
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan ("Non-Qualified Plan"), which was approved by
the Company's stockholders in September 1991, pursuant to which options to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock may be





                                      -42-
<PAGE>   45

granted to directors, officers and key employees of the Company, including
non-employee directors.  On the last business day of February in each year,
each then non-employee director of the Company is automatically granted an
option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of such stock on the date of grant.  Options granted
under the Plan are exercisable for a period of up to ten years.  In the event
that a director ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason, options
granted to the director will expire upon the earlier to occur of (1) the tenth
anniversary of the date of grant of the option or (2) ninety days following the
date on which such director ceased to be a director.


                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

        During fiscal 1995, Tilman J. Falgout, III, presently Executive Vice
President and General Counsel and director of the Company, was a partner in the
law firm of Stumpf & Falgout, Houston, Texas, which receives fees from the
Company for legal services rendered on its behalf.  During fiscal 1995, such
firm earned fees totaling approximately $259,000 for services rendered to the
Company.  During fiscal 1994, such firm earned fees totaling $217,674 for
services rendered to the Company.

        On May 20, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with 10 Westpark
Corporation, a corporation controlled by Mr. Falgout, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of its common stock to 10 Westpark
Corporation should 10 Westpark introduce the Company to a corporation or other
entity which would allow the Company to enter the gaming business.  The payment
would be in the nature of a finder's fee, and as of the date of the agreement,
the value of the contract to 10 Westpark Corporation was $287,500 (based upon
the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the common stock on May 20,
1993).  The Company closed the acquisition of St. Charles Gaming Company, Inc.
in June 1993 and issued the 400,000 shares of common stock to 10 Westpark
Corporation in July 1993.  Mr. Falgout holds the shares in 10 Westpark
Corporation for the benefit of himself and his brothers and sisters.

        In October 1993, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with
Kehl River Boats, Inc. ("KRB") to purchase a riverboat to house its casino
facility.  Robert J. Kehl, a director of the Company, is president and a
significant stockholder of KRB.  The agreement with KRB provides for a purchase
price, which has been paid in full, comprised of (i) 1,056,667 shares of Crown
common stock, (ii) $9.57 million in cash payments, and (iii) a warrant to
purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock exercisable at $6.06125
per share.

        In connection with the Company's private placement of Common Stock from
June 1993 to May 1994, Gerard M. Jacobs, a director of the Company, acted as a
finder.  In consideration of Mr. Jacobs' services in such capacity, the Company
paid Mr. Jacobs an aggregate of $116,971 in cash and issued to Mr. Jacobs
warrants to purchase 77,981 shares of the Company's common stock, at an average
exercise price of $7.50 per share.

        In June 1994, the Company and Mr. Jacobs entered into a Teaming
Agreement, agreeing to work together to obtain a license to conduct gaming
operations in the State of Illinois.  Any such venture will be owned 50% by the
Company and 50% by a group of Illinois residents, the names and respective
interests of which will be specified by Mr. Jacobs.  The agreement provides
that Mr. Jacobs will receive a fee, payable in warrants to purchase common
stock of the Company, in consideration for his services in assisting the
Company in obtaining such a license.  Upon the execution of the agreement, the
Company issued to Mr. Jacobs a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common
stock of the Company exercisable at $7.25 per share.  Upon the occurrence of
certain future events, including the issuance of an Illinois





                                      -43-
<PAGE>   46

gaming license, the agreement provides for the issuance of warrants to purchase
up to an additional 200,000 shares of Crown common stock.

        Management believes that all of the foregoing transactions were, and
all future transactions between the Company and its officers, directors,
principal shareholders or affiliates of such persons will be, on terms no less
favorable to the Company than could have been obtained from unaffiliated
parties.

                         CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

        On October 26, 1993, Ernst & Young LLP, the independent auditors for
the Company, resigned.  Ernst & Young LLP advised the Company that a primary
reason for their resignation was the Company's change in its business from
cable programming to the gaming industry.  Ernst & Young LLP advised the
Company that the local Dallas office did not have sufficient expertise in this
area and that substantial additional educational requirements would have to be
met in order for the local office to continue the engagement.

        Ernst & Young LLP's report on the financial statements of the Company
for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1993 did not contain an adverse opinion or
a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.

        During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1993 and the subsequent interim
period preceding the resignation of Ernst & Young LLP, there were no
disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.  No
event listed in Paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 304 a(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K occurred within the fiscal year ended April 30, 1993 and the subsequent
interim period preceding the resignation of Ernst & Young LLP.

        Ernst & Young LLP provided the Company with a letter indicating its
agreement with the foregoing statements made by the Company.

        On April 28, 1994, the Company engaged Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as its
independent auditors.  During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1993 and the
subsequent interim period prior to engaging Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., the
Company did not consult with Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. regarding either the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the Company's financial statements.  There were no disagreements with or a
reportable event related to the engagement of the Company's prior independent
accountants.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

COMMON STOCK

         The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Common
Stock.  As of the date hereof, 11,741,459 shares of Common Stock are issued and
outstanding.  Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to elect all of
the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, and such holders are
entitled to vote as a class on all matters required or permitted to be
submitted to the shareholders of the Company.  Subject to such preferential
rights as the Board of Directors may grant in connection with future issuances
of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive
such dividends as the Board of Directors may declare in its discretion out of
funds legally available therefor.  Holders of shares of Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably in any distribution made to holders of Common Stock
in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after
payment of liabilities and any liquidation preference on any shares of
Preferred Stock then outstanding.  Holders of shares of Common Stock have no
cumulative voting or preemptive rights, nor do they have any conversion,
preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional shares or other
securities.  There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to
such shares.  All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and
nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

         The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized, without further
action of the shareholders of the Company, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares
constituting any such series and the rights and preferences thereof, including
dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions),
redemption price or prices, voting rights, conversion rights and liquidation
preferences of the shares constituting such series.  The issuance of Preferred
Stock by the Board of Directors could adversely affect the rights of holders of
Common Stock.  For example, an issuance of Preferred Stock could result in a
class of securities outstanding with preferences over the Common Stock with
respect to dividends and liquidations, and that could (upon conversion or
otherwise) enjoy all of the rights appurtenant to Common Stock.

         The Company has no present plans to issue any shares of the Preferred
Stock.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS RELATED TO CERTAIN WARRANTS

         On January 5, 1994, in partial consideration for its services as
placement agent in connection with a proposed private placement of Company debt
securities which was never consummated, the Company granted Dabney/Resnick,
Inc. a warrant to purchase 80,440 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Pursuant to a separate Registration Rights Agreement, Dabney/Resnick, Inc. has
the right to require the Company on one occasion to register the shares
underlying such warrant under the federal Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act").

         On January 5, 1994, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 80,440
shares of its Common Stock to Sun Life Insurance Company of America, Inc. ("Sun
Life") as a commitment fee in connection with services rendered to the Company
by Sun Life relating to a proposed private placement of debt securities which
was never consummated.  In June 1994, the Company issued a warrant to purchase
508,414 shares of its Common Stock to Nomura Holding America Inc. ("Nomura") in
connection with Nomura's purchase from SCGC of a $28,000,000 Senior Secured
Increasing Rate Note.  Pursuant to separate Registration Rights Agreements, the
above holders each have the right to require the Company on one occasion to
register the shares underlying such warrants under the Securities Act.





                                      -57-
<PAGE>   60

         In March and April 1994, the Company issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 314,952 shares of Common Stock to four persons in consideration of
services rendered by them in connection with the Company's private placement of
Common Stock.

         Pursuant to the contract for the purchase of SCGC's riverboat executed
in October 1993, the Company granted to Kehl River Boats, Inc. a warrant to
purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock, which was issued in July 1994.  In
June 1994, the Company undertook to grant to Gerard M. Jacobs, a director of
the Company, a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock in
consideration of services on the Company's behalf in connection with the
Company's efforts to obtain a gaming license in the State of Illinois.  This
warrant was issued in October 1994.

         The Company is required to give notice to each of the above holders of
any proposed registration by the Company of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
a registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act and to permit
them, subject to certain restrictions, to register and sell shares of Common
Stock pursuant to such registration statement.

         In addition, the Company has granted a warrant to purchase 50,000
shares of Common Stock to one individual in consideration of such individual's
introducing the Company to the investment banking community for assistance in
the Company's debt private placement.  The warrant holder does not have
registration rights with respect to such warrant.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

         Divestiture.  The Articles of Incorporation of the Company empower the
Board of Directors to require the divestiture of shares of any person who
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares of any class of capital stock
of the Company who is found by a gaming regulatory authority to be unsuitable
to hold the Company's stock.

         In addition, the Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company
must be in compliance with the federal Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended,
and the federal Shipping Act of 1916, as amended.  The Board of Directors is
given the power to divest any shareholder who has rendered the Company in
non-compliance with these Acts of a sufficient number of shares to bring the
Company into compliance with the Acts.

         The procedure for divestiture requires the shareholder within 45 days
of notice from the Company of violation of either provision to sell, transfer
or dispose of his shares in the Company.  Following the 45 day period, the
Company shall, for a period of 60 days, have the right, but not the obligation,
to purchase all or any part of such shares of stock from the disqualified
shareholder at a price per share equal to the fair market value of such stock,
less 25%.

         Indemnification.  The Bylaws provide that directors and officers of
the Company will be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized
by Texas law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all
expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with service for or
on behalf of the Company.

         Limitation of Liability.  In addition, the Articles of Incorporation
provide that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director's
capacity as a director, except that such provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director for (a) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the Company or its shareholders; (b) an act or omission not in good faith
that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to the Company or an act or
omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law; (c) a transaction





                                      -58-
<PAGE>   61

from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not the
benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director's
office; or (d) an act or omission for which the liability of a director is
expressly provided by an applicable statute.  In appropriate circumstances,
equitable remedies or non-monetary relief, such as an injunction, will remain
available to a shareholder seeking redress from a violation of fiduciary duty.
In addition, the provision applies only to claims against a director arising
out of his or her role as a director and not in any other capacity (such as an
officer or employee of the Company).

         Anti-Takeover Provisions of Articles of Incorporation.  The Company's
Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to
1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more designated
series or classes.  The Board of Directors, without approval of the
shareholders, is authorized to establish the voting, dividend, redemption,
conversion, liquidation and other provisions of a particular series or class of
Preferred Stock.  The issuance of Preferred Stock could, among other things,
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common
Stock and, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a third
party to acquire, or discourage a third party from acquiring, control of the
Company.  The Board of Directors has no present intention to issue any series
or class of Preferred Stock.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

         Securities Transfer Corporation acts as the Transfer Agent and
Registrar for the Common Stock.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         Of the 8,121,869 shares of Common Stock being offered hereby for the
benefit of the Selling Shareholders, 3,316,756 shares were originally issued by
the Company in a private placement to "accredited investors" pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was
completed in May 1994; 1,056,667 shares were issued to KRB in connection with
the purchase of the riverboat; 300,000 shares were issued in consideration of
certain agreements or services performed on behalf of the Company or for other
non-cash consideration; 2,264,200 shares represent shares of Common Stock
issued in connection with the acquisitions of SCGC and GEMS; and 1,184,246
shares underlie warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company.  The Company
has agreed to register the shares for resale by the Selling Shareholders.  The
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of such shares by
the Selling Shareholders.

         The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that they propose to
offer for sale and to sell Common Stock from time to time beginning November 8,
1994 and for the next twenty-four months thereafter through brokers in the
over-the-counter market, in private transactions, or otherwise, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices and terms then obtainable,
in block transactions, negotiated transactions, or otherwise.  Accordingly,
sales prices and proceeds to the Selling Shareholders will depend upon market
price fluctuations and the manner of sale.

         If the shares are sold through brokers, the Selling Shareholders will
pay brokerage commissions and other charges, including any transfer taxes
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions).  The Selling Shareholders will also pay the fees and
expenses of any counsel retained by them in connection with this offering.
Except for the payment of such legal fees and expenses, brokerage commissions
and charges, the Company will bear all expenses in connection with registering
the shares offered hereby, which registration expenses are estimated to total
approximately $200,000.

         The 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby are
to be offered and sold on behalf of the Company on a best-efforts basis by
certain directors and executive officers of the Company, who will not receive
any commissions or other remuneration in connection with such activities.  As
of the date hereof, the Company has sold a total of 915,000 shares of Common
Stock in this offering, 320,000 shares at a price of $5.00 per share, 170,000
shares at a price of $3.50 per share, and 425,000 shares at a price of $4.00
per share.  The remaining 1,085,000 shares are being offered by the Company at
a price of $5.00 per share.  There is no minimum purchase requirement with
respect to such shares and there are no escrow arrangements.  The offering of
such shares by the Company will expire on November 8, 1996, unless earlier
terminated in the sole discretion of the Company.

         The offering by the Company is being made without the services of an
underwriter and the Company has employed no brokers, dealers, or salespersons
in connection with the sale of the Common Stock.  However, the Company may in
its sole discretion pay a sales concession not to exceed ten percent (10%) of
the per share sales price to various brokers, dealers or other salespersons for
sales made by them.  No other distribution expenses are expected to be incurred
in connection with the offering.

         The Company reserves the unqualified right to terminate the offering
of shares on behalf of the Company at any time during its pendency for any
reason whatsoever.

REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS

         The Company will furnish stockholders with annual reports containing
financial statements audited by an independent public accounting firm and will
make available copies of quarterly reports containing unaudited financial
statements for each of the first three fiscal quarters of the year.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

         The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be
passed upon for the Company by Smith, Gambrell & Russell, Atlanta, Georgia.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Crown Casino Corporation


    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown
Casino Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Crown Casino Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1995 and 1994, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the two years in the period ended April 30, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS              Crown Casino Corporation

                                                        

A - HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    Crown Casino Corporation, formerly Skylink America Incorporated, and
subsidiaries (the "Company") owns a 50% interest in a riverboat gaming casino
located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana that opened in July 1995, owns an 18.6
acre tract of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada which is being
held for development of a hotel and casino, and in July 1995 entered into a
definitive purchase agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino
(the "Bourbon Street Casino") located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company is also
actively pursuing other gaming opportunities in these and other jurisdictions.

    Prior to March 1994, the Company had been engaged in various facets of the
cable programming business.


B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Principles of Consolidation
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Casino
Corporation and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents
    The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    Casino Pre-opening and Development Costs
    All casino pre-opening and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Pre-opening and development costs consist principally of personnel costs,
advertising, insurance, travel, consulting and professional fees.

    Property and Equipment
    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for additions,
renewals and improvements are capitalized. Interest costs during construction
of facilities are capitalized. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred. Depreciation will be charged on gaming related equipment and
facilities beginning in July 1995 (commencement of operations). Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives:

          Furniture, fixtures and equipment                5 to 10 years
          Riverboat and barges                                  15 years


    Non-Compete Agreement
    In connection with the acquisition of St. Charles Gaming Company, Inc.
("SCGC"), the seller agreed not to compete with the Company within the
Louisiana market for a period of five years. The costs allocated to such
agreement are being amortized over a five year period using the straight-line
method. At April 30, 1995 accumulated amortization amounted to $183,326.

    Debt Issuance Costs
    In connection with the issuance of the Senior Note and amendments to the
agreement governing the Senior Note, the Company incurred debt issuance costs
of approximately $2.5 million. These costs are being amortized over the term of
the Senior Note using the effective interest method.


                                     F-9

<PAGE>   73


    License Costs
    License costs principally represent the excess purchase price of acquiring
SCGC over the net identifiable tangible assets (see Note D).  These costs will
be amortized beginning in July 1995 (commencement of operations) over the
remaining license term using the straight-line method. The Louisiana license
was issued on March 29, 1994 and has a five year initial term, which is subject
to renewal.

    Income Taxes
    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

    Treasury Stock
    During fiscal 1995 the Company formally canceled all of its shares held in
treasury. The amount credited to additional paid-in capital upon the original
issuance of such shares was estimated to be equal to or greater than the
Company's cost of reacquiring such shares.  Accordingly, the carrying value in
excess of the par value of such shares was charged to additional paid-in
capital upon such cancellation.

    Loss Per Share
    Loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of
shares outstanding.

    Reclassifications
    Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1995 presentation.  Amounts
associated with cable activities have been reclassified to discontinued
operations.


C - SALE OF 50% OF LOUISIANA PROJECT

    On June 9, 1995 pursuant to a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement ("Stock
Purchase Agreement") the Company sold a 50% interest in SCGC to Louisiana
Riverboat Gaming Partnership ("LRGP"), a joint venture owned 50% by Casino
America, Inc. ("Casino America") and 50% by Louisiana Downs, Inc. LRGP owns the
Isle of CapriSM dockside riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana. The
purchase price consists of (i) a five-year $20 million note (the "LRGP Note"),
(ii) $1 million cash, and (iii) a warrant (which may only be exercised by
converting a portion of the LRGP Note) to purchase 416,667 shares of Casino
America common stock at $12 per share.

    The LRGP Note bears interest at 11.5% per annum, payable monthly, and is
secured by LRGP's 50% interest in SCGC. Principal is payable in seventeen equal
quarterly installments beginning in June 1996. If the distributions from SCGC
to LRGP during any quarter are less than the principal installment due for such
quarter, LRGP will only be obligated to pay the amount of such distribution and
any deficiency will be deferred to the next installment due under the LRGP
Note. All principal and interest not previously paid will be due and payable in
June 2000.

    In June 1995, as a result of the sale of a 50% interest in SCGC, the
Company recorded a gain before income taxes of approximately $22 million.
However, the majority of the gain has been deferred until such time as its
realization is reasonably assured. Realization of such deferred gain is
dependent on the collection of the LRGP Note, which is principally dependent on
SCGC's future operating profits. Prior to maturity, the principal payments on
the LRGP Note are limited to the amount of distributions received by LRGP from
SCGC's operations, and principal payments on the LRGP Note are not guaranteed
by LRGP.

    Also, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, LRGP will lend funds, or
will provide a financing source for SCGC, to provide for the development of the
Calcasieu Parish project and the payment of interest on SCGC's senior debt, in
amounts to be agreed upon between LRGP and the Company. The maximum amount of
all loans funded or guaranteed by LRGP will not exceed $45 million, unless
agreed to by the parties.  At April 30, 1995 Casino America and LRGP had loaned
or advanced SCGC a total of approximately $6.9 million. In August 1995 SCGC and
LRGP jointly issued $38.4 million of senior secured increasing rate notes whose
proceeds were used to retire all of SCGC's senior debt ($21.9 million) and
certain LRGP obligations ($8.4 million). The balance of the proceeds will be
used in the development of the Calcasieu Parish project (see Note G).

    In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, SCGC bought out its prior
casino management agreement for $4 million and entered into a new casino
management agreement with Casino America. The Casino America  management
agreement has a term of 99 years and provides for a management fee of (i) 2% of
"Revenues," as defined in the agreement (generally net gaming revenues less
gaming and admission taxes plus all other operating revenues), plus (ii) 10% of
"Net Operating Income," as defined in the agreement, provided however, the
total management fee shall not exceed 4% of "Revenues."  In the event the LRGP
Note goes in default and the Company reacquires LRGP's 50% interest in SCGC,
SCGC will have the right to terminate the Casino America management agreement.

    In addition to the foregoing, the Company granted LRGP a right of first
refusal to jointly develop its 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming district
of Las Vegas in the event the Company chooses to develop such project on a
joint venture basis.

    At April 30, 1995 SCGC had assets, liabilities and shareholder's deficit of
approximately $35 million, $38 million and $3 million, respectively. SCGC's
condensed results of operations for the year ended April 30, 1995 and the
period from June 25, 1993 (date of acquisition) through April 30, 1994 were as

D - ACQUISITIONS

    In June 1993 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of
SCGC, a Louisiana corporation which was organized in January 1993 for the
purpose of developing a riverboat casino project in St. Charles Parish,
Louisiana. The Company paid $500,000 and issued 1.2 million shares of
restricted common stock to the seller in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of SCGC and for the seller's agreement not to compete
with the Company. In addition, in connection with the transaction, the Company
issued 400,000 shares of restricted common stock as a finder's fee to a company
which has a principal shareholder who is a director of the Company.

    In December 1993 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock
of Gaming Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("GEMS"), a Nevada
corporation which was organized in September 1992 for the purpose of developing
a hotel and casino project in Las Vegas, Nevada known as the Desert Winds Hotel
and Casino. GEMS' primary asset was its option to purchase an 18.6 acre tract
of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas located on the southeast corner of
the intersection of Flamingo and Arville. The option was exercised and the land
was purchased in June 1994. GEMS has no operations other than its development
of the Desert Winds project. In



                                     F-11

connection with the transaction the Company issued 850,000 shares of restricted
common stock to the shareholders of GEMS and issued 35,000 shares of restricted
common stock to an unrelated company as a finder's fee. Prior to the
acquisition, the Company loaned GEMS $500,000 which was assumed in the
purchase.

    The acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The purchase price and purchase price allocations are as follows

    The shares issued were valued based upon the trading price of the Company's
stock on the earlier of the date when all material contingencies to the
acquisition were removed or upon closing, discounted to reflect the restricted
nature of the securities. The Company recorded a deferred tax liability to
reflect the difference in basis of the acquired assets and liabilities for
income tax and financial reporting purposes. The activities of SCGC and GEMS
have been included in the Company's results of operations from their respective
dates of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented
for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1994 as such results are not materially
different from the actual results of operations for such period.

    In July 1995, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase
agreement to acquire the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino located in Las Vegas,
Nevada for $10 million (see Note P).


E - LICENSING

    In March 1994 SCGC received a license with certain conditions from the
Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Enforcement Division (the "Enforcement Division").
The license has an initial term of five years and is thereafter subject to
renewal.

    In connection with the proposed acquisition of the Bourbon Street Hotel and
Casino, the Company intends to apply for a Nevada gaming license.


F - LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT

    In connection with the acquisition of GEMS (see Note D) the Company
acquired an option to purchase an 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming
district of Las Vegas, Nevada located on the southeast corner of the
intersection of Flamingo and Arville. In June 1994 the Company exercised its
option and closed the purchase of the

Las Vegas land. Upon such purchase amounts previously capitalized as land
purchase option costs were reclassified to land held for development. In
February 1994 the Las Vegas land under option was appraised for approximately
$20.3 million.


G - DEBT

    At April 30, 1995 SCGC had the following debt:

</TABLE>


    In June 1994 SCGC issued a $28 million Senior Secured Increasing Rate Note
(the "Senior Note") to an institutional investor. The Senior Note was initially
due on June 3, 1995, but was subsequently extended to August 31, 1995 and
carried a 12% coupon increasing 67 basis points each quarter up to a maximum
interest rate of 14%. The Senior Note was issued with a five year warrant to
purchase 508,414 shares of the Company's common stock at an original exercise
price of $6.00 per share, which was adjusted to $3.00 per share in December
1994 pursuant to an amendment to the warrant. The proceeds from the private
placement were allocated between the Senior Note ($26.7 million) and the
warrant ($1.3 million) based upon the relative fair value of each of the
securities at the time of issuance. The resulting original issue discount has
been amortized over the life of the Senior Note using the effective interest
method.

    In August 1995 the Senior Note was paid off from the proceeds of $38.4
million of Senior Secured Increasing Rate Notes (the "New Notes"), issued
jointly by SCGC and LRGP. The New Notes initially become due in August 1996,
but can be extended up to an additional twelve months at the option of the
issuers, and carry a 12% coupon increasing 25 basis points each quarter until
maturity, and provide for contingent interest beginning in June 1996 equal to
7.5% of SCGC's and LRGP's consolidated cash flow, as defined. The New Notes are
collaterlized by substantially all the assets of SCGC and LRGP and contain
covenants relating to certain business, operational and financial matters
including limitations on (i) incurring additional debt, (ii) paying dividends,
(iii) merging or consolidating with others, (iv) changes in control, (v)
capital expenditures, (vi) investments and joint ventures, and (vii) the sale
of assets. The New Notes are not guaranteed by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.

    In March 1995, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, SCGC issued
promissory notes aggregating $4.7 million to Casino America (the "Casino
America Notes"). The Casino America Notes bear interest at 11.5% per annum and
are due three business days after the New Notes are paid in full. The Casino
America Notes are not guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.


H - SALES AND ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK

    During fiscal 1994 the Company conducted a private placement offering under
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") whereby the
Company sold 2,690,056 shares of its common stock to accredited investors which
resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $14.0 million. In connection with
such private placement, the Company paid cash finder's fees of approximately
$770,000. In May 1994 the Company sold an additional 636,700 shares of its
common stock in the private placement offering which resulted in gross proceeds
of approximately $3.7 million.



                                     F-13

<PAGE>   77
    In connection with the purchase of SCGC's riverboat the Company issued 
433,333 shares of its common stock during fiscal 1994 to Kehl River Boats, Inc.
("KRB"). During fiscal 1995, after KRB was found suitable by the Louisiana
gaming regulatory authorities, the Company issued KRB the remaining 623,334
shares of its common stock due under the vessel purchase agreement (see Note L).

    During fiscal 1995 the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective in November 1994, to
register a total of 10,121,869 shares of its common stock. The registration
statement includes (i) 6,937,623 shares on behalf of certain selling
shareholders, (ii) 1,184,246 shares representing the underlying shares of
outstanding common stock purchase warrants, and (iii) 2,000,000 shares on
behalf of the Company. Through April 30, 1995 the Company had sold 915,000 of
the 2,000,000 shares included in the registration statement resulting in net
proceeds of $3,545,500. In addition, during fiscal 1995 the Company (i) sold
150,000 shares of its common stock to foreign investors under the provisions of
Regulation S under the Securities Act resulting in net proceeds of $461,406,
and (ii) issued a total of 325,000 shares of its common stock for services
rendered and the termination of a certain letter agreement pertaining to a
proposed casino site in Lake Charles, Louisiana that was ultimately not
pursued.


I - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

    Options
    The Company has two stock option plans, the 1986 Incentive Stock Option
Plan ("1986 Plan") for employees covering 1,250,000 shares of common stock and
the 1991 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan ("1991 Plan") for directors and key
employees covering 250,000 shares of common stock. Under the 1991 Plan each
non-employee director is entitled to an automatic annual grant to purchase
2,500 shares of common stock.

    Under the terms of the Plans, the purchase price of the shares will not be
less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Options
granted under the Plans expire in the years 1998 through 2005 and generally are
exercisable on the date of grant, with the exception of options to purchase
325,000 shares which become exercisable from 1996 through 1999. At April 30,
1995, there were 223,575 and 135,000 shares of common stock available for grant
in the 1986 Plan and 1991 Plan, respectively.

    The Company recorded a valuation allowance for the year ended April 30,
1995 to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets. The valuation
allowance relates to management's estimate of the realization of such deferred
tax assets. At April 30, 1995 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward
for tax purposes of approximately $9,477,000 which expires in 2009 and 2010.


K - LEASES

    In March and July 1995, SCGC entered into agreements to lease the two
parcels of land that comprise the Calcasieu Parish riverboat casino site. The
leases have an initial term of five years with seven five year renewal options.
During the initial term, the leases require annual aggregate rental payments of
$850,000 in years one through four, and $1,000,000 in year five, payable
monthly. During the first renewal term, the rent will be increased annually by
the greater of (i) 5%, or (ii) the percentage increase in the average consumer
price index for Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana for the previous twelve month
period. During the second through seventh renewal terms, the lessor and SCGC
will attempt to set the rent equal to 100% of the rent paid by other riverboat
gaming operators in Louisiana and Mississippi for comparable property usages,
or if no agreement can be made, then the parties will appoint real estate
appraisers to set the rent for such renewal term. However, in no event shall
the annual rent be less than $1.6 million during the fourth and all subsequent
renewal terms. In addition, SCGC will pay all real estate taxes, except for
taxes due on the unimproved value of the property. The Company has guaranteed
the obligations of SCGC under these leases.

    In addition to the Calcasieu Parish site leases, the Company has also
entered into various operating leases for equipment and office facilities. The
aggregate rentals due under such leases were not significant at April 30, 1995.

L - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Common Stock Pending Issuance
    In February, 1995 the Company made a commitment to issue 50,000 shares of
its common stock (representing $200,000) to a consultant upon commencement of
SCGC's riverboat gaming operations in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. In July 1995
such operations commenced and subsequently the shares due were issued.

    At April 30, 1994 the Company was committed to issue 333,334 shares of its
common stock (representing $1,500,000) to KRB, the Company's riverboat
contractor, upon KRB being found suitable as a 5% or greater shareholder of the
Company by the Louisiana gaming regulatory authorities. In December 1994, KRB
was found suitable and the Company issued the total shares then due (623,334)
to KRB.

    Common Stock Subject to Redemption
    At April 30, 1994 the Company was required to make recission offers to
certain investors covering 151,000 shares of its common stock (representing
$829,500) to satisfy securities laws in certain states in which the Company
conducted a private placement offering of its securities. The recission offers
expired at various times through September 1994, at which time the respective
amounts included in common stock subject to redemption were reclassified to
additional paid-in capital.

    Litigation
    On September 21, 1994, an action was filed against the Company and SCGC in 
the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana by
Avondale Industries, Inc. ("Avondale"). In this action, Avondale alleges that
the Company was contractually obligated to Avondale for the construction of
SCGC's riverboat vessel based upon a letter of intent (allegedly reaffirming a
previous agreement entered into between Avondale and the Company). Avondale
alleges that the Company breached a duty to negotiate in good faith toward the
execution of a definitive vessel construction contract. Alternatively, Avondale
alleges that a separate oral contract for the construction of the vessel
existed and that the Company committed unspecified unfair trade practices and
made certain misrepresentations. Avondale seeks unspecified damages including
"all lost profits and lost overhead" and attorneys fees. The Company intends to
vigorously contest liability in this matter.

    Commitments to Calcasieu Parish
    In January 1995, SCGC made a commitment to Calcasieu Parish to provide
certain payments to the Parish above and beyond the statutory admissions tax.
SCGC committed to a $1 million initial payment, which was paid upon the opening
of the casino, and a $1 million annual payment for as long as the casino is
operating at its site in the Parish, but in no event less than six years. In
June 1995 SCGC and the Parish entered into a definitive development agreement
whereby, in consideration for the payments to be made by SCGC to the Parish,
the Parish is required to cooperate with and provide assistance to SCGC in
obtaining and maintaining necessary permits and approvals to operate its
riverboat gaming casino.

    Teaming Agreement
    In June 1994 the Company entered into a teaming agreement with a group of
individuals for the purpose of pursuing a gaming license in the State of
Illinois. The agreement requires the Company to issue warrants to purchase up
to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and to make certain payments
in cash upon the occurrence of specified events, including the issuance of a
gaming license.


M - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    During fiscal 1994, in connection with the acquisition of SCGC (see Note
D), the Company issued 400,000 shares of restricted common stock as a finder's
fee to a company whose principal shareholder is a director of the Company. In
March 1995, this director became an executive officer of the Company.

    The Company incurred legal fees of approximately $259,000 and $218,000
during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively, from a law firm of which a director
of the Company was a partner. In March 1995, this director became an executive
officer of the Company.

    During fiscal 1994 the Company paid $24,000 for investment banking services

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS             CROWN CASINO CORPORATION 
(Unaudited)
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1995

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Crown Casino Corporation and subsidiaries ("Crown" or the "Company") (i) owns a
50% interest in St. Charles Gaming Company, Inc.  ("SCGC")  which owns and
operates a riverboat gaming casino located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana that
opened on July 29, 1995, (ii) owns an 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming
district of Las Vegas, Nevada which is being held for development of a hotel
and casino, and (iii) in July 1995 entered into a definitive purchase agreement
to acquire the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino (the "Bourbon Street Casino")
located in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Company is also actively pursuing other
gaming opportunities in these and other jurisdictions.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month period
ended July 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended April 30, 1996.  For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1995.


NOTE B - SALE OF 50% OF SCGC

On June 9, 1995 pursuant to a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement ("Stock
Purchase Agreement") the Company sold a 50% interest in SCGC to Louisiana
Riverboat Gaming Partnership ("LRGP"), a joint venture owned 50% by Casino
America, Inc.  ("Casino America") and 50% by Louisiana Downs, Inc.  LRGP owns
the Isle of Capri(SM) dockside riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana.
The purchase price consisted of (i) a five-year $20 million note (the "LRGP
Note"), (ii) $1 million cash, and (iii) a warrant (which may only be exercised
by converting a portion of the LRGP Note) to purchase 416,667 shares of Casino
America common stock at $12 per share.

The LRGP Note bears interest at 11.5% per annum, payable monthly, and is
secured by LRGP's 50% interest in SCGC.  Principal is payable in seventeen
equal quarterly installments beginning in June 1996.  If the distributions from
SCGC to LRGP during any quarter are less than the principal installment due for
such quarter, LRGP will only be obligated to pay the amount of such
distribution and any deficiency will be deferred to the next installment due
under the LRGP Note.  All principal and interest not previously paid will be
due and payable in June 2000.

Also, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, LRGP will lend funds, or will
provide a financing source for SCGC, to provide for the development of the
Calcasieu Parish project in amounts to be agreed upon between LRGP and the
Company.  The maximum amount of all loans funded or guaranteed by LRGP will not
exceed $45 million, unless agreed to by the parties.  In August 1995 SCGC and
LRGP jointly issued $38.4 million of senior secured increasing rate notes the
proceeds of which were used to retire all of SCGC's senior debt ($21.9 million)
and certain LRGP obligations ($8.4 million).  The balance of the proceeds will
be used in the development of the Calcasieu Parish project (see Note C).

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, SCGC bought out its prior
casino management agreement and entered into a new casino management agreement
with Casino America.  The Casino America  management agreement has a term of 99
years and provides for a management fee of (i) 2% of "Revenues," as defined in
the agreement (generally net gaming revenues less gaming and admission taxes
plus all other operating revenues) plus (ii) 10% of "Net Operating Income," as
defined in the agreement, provided however, the total management fee shall not
exceed 4% of "Revenues."  In the event the LRGP Note goes into default and the
Company reacquires LRGP's 50% interest in SCGC, SCGC will have the right to
terminate the Casino America management agreement.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company granted LRGP a right of first refusal
to jointly develop its 18.6 acre tract of land in the gaming district of Las
Vegas in the event the Company chooses to develop such project on a joint
venture basis.

is shown as a liability at July 31, 1995.



NOTE C - SCGC DEBT

In June 1994 SCGC issued a $28 million Senior Secured Increasing Rate Note (the
"Senior Note") to an institutional investor.  The Senior Note was initially due
on June 3, 1995, but was subsequently extended to August 31, 1995 and carried a
12% coupon increasing 67 basis points each quarter up to a maximum interest
rate of 14%.  The Senior Note was issued with a five-year warrant to purchase
508,414 shares of the Company's common stock at an original exercise price of
$6.00 per share, which was adjusted to $3.00 per share in December 1994
pursuant to an amendment to the warrant.  The proceeds from the private
placement were allocated between the Senior Note ($26.7 million) and the
warrant ($1.3 million) based upon the relative fair value of each of the
securities at the time of issuance.  The resulting original issue discount has
been amortized over the life of the Senior Note using the effective interest
method.

In August 1995, SCGC's Senior Note was paid off from the proceeds of $38.4
million of Senior Secured Increasing Rate Notes (the "New Notes"), issued
jointly by SCGC and LRGP (collectively, the "Issuers").  The New Notes
initially become due on July 27, 1996, but can be extended up to an additional
twelve months at the option of the Issuers provided no event of default has
occurred and is continuing, carry a 12% coupon increasing 25 basis points each
quarter until maturity, and provide for contingent interest beginning in May
1996 equal to 7.5% of the Issuers' consolidated cash flow, as defined.  The New
Notes are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Issuers and the
agreement governing the New Notes contains covenants relating to certain
business, operational and financial matters including limitations on (i)
incurring additional debt, (ii) paying dividends, (iii) merging or
consolidating with others, (iv) changes in control, (v) capital expenditures,
(vi) investments and joint ventures, and (vii) the sale of assets, and
financial covenants pertaining to (i) minimum cash flow, (ii) minimum fixed
charge ratio, (iii) maximum leverage ratio, and (iv) minimum net worth.  The
Company anticipates that SCGC will fail to meet certain financial covenants of
the agreement governing the New Notes which, if not amended or waived, would
result in an event of default.  The Issuers are currently having discussions
with the holder of the New Notes regarding the anticipated event of default.
While no assurance can be given that a satisfactory waiver or amendment will be
forthcoming, the Company expects the Issuers will obtain such waiver or
amendment to cure the anticipated event of default.  The New Notes are not
guaranteed by the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries.

NOTE D - LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT

In connection with the acquisition of Gaming Entertainment Management Services,
Inc. in December 1993, the Company acquired an option to purchase an 18.6 acre
tract of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada located on the
southeast corner of the intersection of Flamingo and Arville.  In June 1994 the
Company exercised its option and closed the purchase of the Las Vegas land.  In
February 1994 the Las Vegas land under option was appraised for approximately
$20.3 million.



NOTE E - PENDING ACQUISITION

On July 14, 1995 the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement
to acquire the Bourbon Street Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada for a
purchase price of $10 million.  The Bourbon Street Casino has approximately 430
slot machines and 15 table games over its 15,000 square feet of gaming space,
166 hotel rooms, including 16 suites, and has reported annual revenues of
approximately $12 million.  Closing is expected to occur by October 1995.



NOTE F - CONTINGENCY

On September 21, 1994, an action was filed against the Company and SCGC in the
24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana by Avondale
Industries, Inc. ("Avondale").  In this action, Avondale alleges that the
Company was contractually obligated to Avondale for the construction of SCGC's
riverboat vessel based upon a letter of intent (allegedly reaffirming a
previous agreement entered into between Avondale and SCGC).  Avondale alleges
that the Company breached a duty to negotiate in good faith toward the
execution of a definitive vessel construction contract.  Alternatively,
Avondale alleges that a separate oral contract for the construction of the
vessel existed and that the Company committed unspecified unfair trade
practices and made certain misrepresentations.  Avondale seeks unspecified
damages including "all lost profits and lost overhead" and attorneys fees.  The
Company intends to vigorously contest liability in this matter.

                       PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION



                             SALE OF 50% OF SCGC

On June 9, 1995 pursuant to a definitive stock purchase agreement Crown Casino
Corporation ("Crown" or the "Company") sold a 50% interest in St. Charles
Gaming Company, Inc. ("SCGC") to Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Partnership
("LRGP"), a joint venture owned 50% by Casino America, Inc. ("Casino America")
and 50% by Louisiana Downs, Inc.  LRGP owns the Isle of Capri(SM) dockside
riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana.  The purchase price consisted of
(i) a five-year $20 million note (the "LRGP Note"), (ii) $1 million cash, and
(iii) a warrant (which may only be exercised by converting a portion of the
LRGP Note) to purchase 416,667 shares of Casino America common stock at $12 per
share.  The LRGP Note bears interest at 11.5% per annum, payable monthly, and
is secured by LRGP's 50% interest in SCGC.  On July 29, 1995 SCGC's riverboat
casino commenced gaming operations in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.


                PENDING ACQUISITION OF BOURBON STREET CASINO

On July 14, 1995 the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement
to acquire substantially all the assets, except for certain current assets, of
the Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino (the "Bourbon Street Casino") located in
Las Vegas, Nevada for a purchase price of $10 million.  As of July 31, 1995,
the Company had deposited $500,000 in an escrow account to be used toward the
purchase and anticipates raising the remaining $9.5 million purchase price
through some combination of (i) conversion of $5 million of the LRGP Note into
416,667 shares of Casino America common stock and the subsequent sale of such
shares, (ii) the sale of all or a portion of the LRGP Note, (iii) the public or
private sale of the Company's common stock, including 1,085,000 shares
registered for sale pursuant to a registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and/or (iv) the issuance of debt.  Closing
is scheduled to occur in October 1995, unless extended by mutual consent.  For
purposes of these pro-forma financial statements, it is assumed that the
Company will issue 1,000,000 shares of its common stock and $5 million in debt
to raise the $9.5 million necessary to complete the acquisition.


                       PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following pro-forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Crown as of
July 31, 1995 gives effect to the acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino as
if the purchase had been consummated on July 31, 1995.  The sale of 50% of SCGC
has already been reflected in the historical consolidated balance sheet of
Crown at such date and accordingly no adjustments are needed to reflect such
transaction.

The following pro-forma consolidated statements of operations of Crown for the
three months ended July 31, 1995 and for the year ended April 30, 1995 gives
effect to (i) the sale of 50% of Crown's interest in SCGC, and (ii) the
acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino as if such transactions had occurred
at the beginning of the respective periods.  The pro-forma information is
based on the historical financial statements of Crown, SCGC and the Bourbon
Street Casino giving effect to the transactions described above and the
adjustments described in the accompanying notes to pro-forma condensed
consolidated financial statements and may not be indicative of the results that
actually would have occurred had the transactions taken place on the dates
indicated or the results which may be obtained in the future.

        NOTES TO PRO-FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)




The sale of a 50% interest in SCGC by Crown causes Crown's remaining 50%
interest in SCGC to be accounted for under the equity method of accounting as
opposed to consolidating such results.  Accordingly, all revenues and expenses
of SCGC have been removed from Crown's historical consolidated financial
statements.  For balance sheet purposes, Crown's remaining 50% interest in SCGC
is reflected in the "Investment in SCGC" account.  Similarly, Crown's 50%
interest in the operations of SCGC have been reflected in the "Equity in loss
of SCGC" account in the accompanying Pro-Forma Statements of Operations.


BALANCE SHEET NOTE:

a -  To record the issuance of $5,000 in debt and $4,500 of common stock at a
     presumed rate of $4.5 per share.


STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS NOTES:

                             TWELVE MONTH PERIOD

a -  To record twelve months of interest expense at a presumed rate of 10%
     per annum on the $5,000 of debt to be issued in connection with the
     acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino.

b -  To record twelve months of interest income at a rate of 11.5% per annum on
     the $20,000 LRGP Note received in the sale of the 50% interest in SCGC.

c -  To record Crown's proportionate share of the equity in net loss of SCGC
     for the twelve month period.

d -  To record Crown's sale of a 50% interest in SCGC presumed to have
     occurred at the beginning of the period.

e -  To record the impact of income taxes on the adjustments described above
     based upon a 38% effective income tax rate.


                              THREE MONTH PERIOD

f -  To record three months of interest expense at a presumed rate of 10%
     per annum on the $5,000 of debt to be issued in connection with the
     acquisition of the Bourbon Street Casino.
     
g -  To record interest income at a rate of 11.5% per annum on the $20,000
     LRGP Note received in the sale of the 50% interest in SCGC from the
     beginning of the period to the point when interest on such LRGP Note
     has been included in the historical financial statements.
     
h -  To record Crown's proportionate share of the equity in net loss of
     SCGC from the beginning of the period to June 8, 1995.

                      Report of Independent Accountants

                                ------------


To the Board of Directors and
 Shareholders of Crown Casino Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Bourbon Street
Hotel and Casino division of Hotel Investors Corporation of Nevada ("Bourbon
Street") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related combined statements
of operations and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Bourbon Street's management. 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bourbon Street as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the combined results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       BOURBON STREET HOTEL AND CASINO

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               
                                ------------

      1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

         History and Basis of Presentation

         Bourbon Street Hotel & Casino ("Bourbon Street" or the "Company")
         operates a casino and related hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bourbon
         Street is an operating division of Hotel Investors Corporation of
         Nevada ("HICN"), a Nevada corporation which also owns and operates
         another casino-hotel in Las Vegas through a separate operating
         division. HICN owns the Nevada gaming license for Bourbon Street and
         certain regulated gaming equipment (the "gaming assets") which are
         used in the Bourbon Street casino. HICN leases all of the remaining
         property and equipment used in the Company's operations and the land
         underlying the casino-hotel facility (collectively the "non-gaming
         assets") from SLT Realty Limited ("SLT"), a limited partnership
         affiliated with HICN through common ownership.

         Effective July 11, 1995, Crown Casino Corporation, through its
         wholly-owned subsidiary Crown Casino Nevada, Inc. ("Crown"), agreed to
         acquire substantially all of the gaming and non-gaming assets
         comprising the operations of Bourbon Street from HlCN and
         SLT, respectively for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. In
         addition, Crown agreed to acquire a 24 unit apartment building and
         related land located adjacent to Bourbon Street (the "apartment
         assets") which are previously owned and managed by SLT.

         The accompanying combined financial statements reflect the historical
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows related to the
         operations of Bourbon Street, including the gaming, non-gaming, and
         apartment assets (collectively the "Bourbon Street Assets") to be
         acquired from HICN and SLT. All inter-entity transactions involving
         the Bourbon Street Assets have been eliminated for purposes of these
         financial statements.

         The acquisition by Crown of the non-gaming and apartment assets is
         expected to be completed by October 21, 1995 (the "first closing"), as
         defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the
         payment of $9 million in addition to the $500,000 deposit already
         made. Under the Agreement, the acquisition of the gaming assets by
         Crown is conditioned upon the approval of the Nevada gaming
         authorities, which approval is subject to licensing investigations of
         Crown and certain other regulatory procedures. Crown has applied for a
         gaming license in Nevada, in accordance with the terms of the
         Agreement. Prior to receipt of a gaming license, Crown may not own
         regulated gaming equipment or operate a gaming establishment in
         Nevada.

                                     F-37


<PAGE>   101

        Accordingly, from the date of the first closing, and until such
        time as Crown is found suitable and is issued a Nevada gaming license,
        Crown will lease (as lessor) the Bourbon Street Assets to HICN under an
        interim lease arrangement. The Agreement provides for a second closing
        within sixty-two (62) days after the receipt of a gaming license by
        Crown, at which time Crown will complete the purchase of the gaming
        assets with the payment of $500,000 and the interim lease will be
        terminated.

        Although Crown has no reason to believe it will not be awarded
        a gaming license, there can be no assurance that such license will be
        awarded. In the event Crown has not obtained a gaming license within
        sixteen (16) months following the first closing, the lease will
        terminate and HICN shall remove all of the gaming assets from Bourbon
        Street and shall have no further obligation to sell such gaming assets
        to Crown.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Bourbon Street
        considers all cash and all highly liquid investments with an original
        maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

        Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and
        consist mainly of restaurant and gift shop inventory. Cost is
        determined by the first-in first-out method.

        Casino Revenue

        In accordance with industry practice, Bourbon Street recognizes
        as casino revenue the net win from gaming activities, which is the
        difference between gaming wins and losses.

        Apartment Revenue

        The Company rents apartment units to tenants under short-term
        leases. Monthly rents vary based on unit size and location. The Company
        recognizes rental revenue as it becomes due. Apartment revenues are
        included in gift shop and other revenues in the accompanying financial
        statements.

        Promotional Allowances

        The retail value of hotel accommodations, food, beverage and
        gift shop items provided to customers without charge is included in
        gross revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances to arrive at
        net revenues. The estimated costs of providing such promotional
        allowances have been classified as casino expenses through
        interdepartmental allocations, as follows:

</TABLE>


        Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost, less any applicable
        write downs for impairment of value. During 1991, a write down of
        approximately $12.8 million was allocated to the non-gaming and
        apartment assets owned by SLT and leased to Bourbon Street, through
        HICN. Additionally, in 1991 a write-down of approximately $900,000 was
        allocated to the gaming assets used by Bourbon Street. The write downs
        were made in connection with an adjustment to market value of SLT's
        overall portfolio of assets, due to the anticipated sale of such
        assets. The sale was never completed, however, the property and
        equipment continue to be presented net of the write down.

        Expenditures for additions, renewals and improvements are
        capitalized. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
        Upon sale, retirement, or other disposal of property, the cost and
        accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the
        resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income, as
        appropriate. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
        over the following estimated useful lives:

</TABLE>

        Income Taxes

        HICN is a member of a consolidated group of companies which
        files a consolidated federal income tax return. The consolidated group
        adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
        "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109") effective January 1, 1993.
        Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
        the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences
        between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
        liabilities and their respective tax bases.


                                     F-39

<PAGE>   103


        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
        rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
        temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
        adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a material impact on Bourbon Street.
        
        The consolidated group allocates income tax expense or benefit to HICN
        and, accordingly, Bourbon Street, as if it were filing separate tax
        returns. No book provision or benefit was recognized by Bourbon Street
        in these separate financial statements for the years ended December
        31, 1994 and 1993, given the cumulative net operating loss position of
        Bourbon Street for tax purposes. The tax benefit associated with these
        operating losses and other net deductible temporary differences
        relating to fixed assets have been fully reserved by Bourbon Street as
        its realization is not expected to be available following the 
        acquisition by Crown.

         All non-gaming and apartment assets are owned by SLT and leased to
         Bourbon Street (through HICN) under a noncancelable operating lease
         which expires on December 31, 1999. Lease terms, as amended on January
         1, 1993, provide for an annual rent payment of $900,000 to SLT. Upon
         completion of the first closing, title to all non-gaming and apartment
         assets will transfer to Crown and the operating lease will be
         canceled. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, gaming equipment owned
         directly by HICN had a net book value of $303,569 and $459,449,
         respectively.

      5. Related Party Transactions:

         Equity and Advances from Affiliates

         Changes in equity and advances from affiliates for each of the two
         years in the period ended December 31, 1994 were as follows:

<TABLE>
         <S>                                     <C>
         Balance at January 1, 1993              $10,778,744

           Distributions to affiliates, net         (610,521)
                                                 -----------

         Balance at December 31, 1993             10,242,664
           Net income for the year                   352,493
           Distributions to affiliates, net         (764,114)
                                                 -----------

         Balance at December 31, 1994            $ 9,831,043
                                                 ===========
</TABLE>

         For purposes of these financial statements, all advances from
         affiliates have been reclassified to equity and advances from
         affiliates as they will not be repaid. No interest has been charged to
         Bourbon Street for such advances for the years ended December 31, 1994
         and 1993.

         Insurance

         During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, Bourbon Street paid
         an affiliate approximately $106,000 and $123,000, respectively, for
         an allocated portion of the property and liability insurance premiums
         for insurance purchased by the affiliate on behalf of Bourbon Street.

      6. Defined Contribution Plan:

         Prior to the completion of the acquisition by Crown, substantially all
         employees of Bourbon Street are eligible to participate in a 401(k)
         Retirement Plan sponsored by HICN. Employee contributions to the plan
         may be matched by Bourbon Street as determined by the plan's governing
         body. Bourbon Street's contributions to the plan for the years ended
         December 31, 1994 and 1993 were approximately $23,000 and
         $22,000, respectively.

                        BOURBON STREET HOTEL AND CASINO

                     NOTE TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                ------------

      1. History and Basis of Presentation

         Bourbon Street Hotel & Casino ("Bourbon Street" or the "Company")
         operates a casino and related hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bourbon
         Street is an operating division of Hotel Investors Corporation of
         Nevada ("HICN"), a Nevada corporation which also owns and operates
         another casino-hotel in Las Vegas through a separate operating
         division. HICN owns the Nevada gaming license for Bourbon Street and
         certain regulated gaming equipment (the "gaming assets") which are
         used in the Bourbon Street casino. HICN leases all of the remaining
         property and equipment used in the Company's operations and the land
         underlying the casino-hotel facility (collectively the "non-gaming
         assets") from SLT Realty Limited ("SLT"), a limited partnership
         affiliated with HICN through common ownership.

         Effective July 11, 1995, Crown Casino Corporation, through its
         wholly-owned subsidiary Crown Casino Nevada, Inc. ("Crown"), agreed to
         acquire substantially all of the gaming and non-gaming assets
         comprising the operations of Bourbon Street from HICN and
         SLT, respectively for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. In
         addition, Crown agreed to acquire a 24 unit apartment building and
         related land located adjacent to Bourbon Street (the "apartment
         assets") which are owned and managed by SLT.

         The accompanying combined financial statements reflect the historical
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows related to the
         operations of Bourbon Street, including the gaming, non-gaming, and
         apartment assets (collectively the "Bourbon Street Assets") to be
         acquired from HICN and SLT. All inter-entity transactions involving
         the Bourbon Street Assets have been eliminated for purposes of these
         financial statements.

         The interim financial statements are unaudited however, in the opinion
         of management, the interim statements include all adjustments necessary
         for a fair presentation of the combined financial position, results of
         operations and cash flows of Bourbon Street. The interim financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
         statements and notes thereto of Bourbon Street as of December 31, 1994
         and 1993 and for the years then ended.

                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                      with Report of Independent Auditors


               for the year ended April 30, 1995 and the periods

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





To the Stockholders
St. Charles Gaming Company, Inc.:



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of St. Charles Gaming Company,
Inc. (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of April 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the
year ended April 30, 1995 and the period from June 25, 1993 (acquisition date)
to April 30, 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  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 financial position of St. Charles Gaming Company,
Inc. as of April 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year ended April 30, 1995 and the period from June 25, 1993
(acquisition date) to April 30, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note D to these financial statements, in August 1995 the
Company and Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Partnership jointly issued $38.4 million
of Senior Secured Increasing Rate Notes.  The Company believes it has failed to
meet certain financial covenants of the agreement governing the notes.  The
Company and Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Partnership are conducting discussions
with the holder of the notes regarding modification of the related borrowing
agreements or obtaining waivers in order for the Company to maintain compliance
in the future.  The ultimate outcome of these discussions cannot be presently
determined.  Accordingly, no modifications have been made to the accompanying
financial statements regarding the possible effects of this uncertainty.

of Note D for which the date is September 21, 1995

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



A - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

St. Charles Gaming Company, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, (the "Company") was
incorporated on January 18, 1993 for the purpose of operating a riverboat
gaming casino to be based in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana (near New Orleans).
In January 1995, the Company changed its riverboat berthing site from St.
Charles Parish to Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (near Lake Charles).  In July
1995 the Company commenced riverboat gaming operations.

Effective June 25, 1993, the Company was acquired by Crown Casino Corporation
("Crown").  Crown completed its acquisition of the Company at a price which
exceeded the book value of the net assets of the Company at the acquisition
date and accounted for the transaction using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, Crown allocated the excess purchase price to the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  This allocation established a new
basis for the Company's assets and liabilities which is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.  The principal result of the creation of a
new basis was an increase in license costs ($9,025,000), the recording of a
related deferred tax liability ($3,400,000), the addition of a non-compete
agreement ($500,000), and an increase in common stock and additional
paid-in-capital ($5,260,949 and $500,000, respectively).  The amounts recorded
as common stock were attributed to the value of the Crown shares issued in the
transaction, while the amount recorded as additional paid-in-capital was
related to cash paid for the non-compete agreement.  The Company has adopted
the fiscal year of Crown which ends on April 30.

Effective June 9, 1995, Crown sold a 50% interest in the Company to Louisiana
Riverboat Gaming Partnership ("LRGP"), a joint venture owned 50% by Casino
America, Inc. ("Casino America") and 50% by Louisiana Downs, Inc.  LRGP owns
the Isle of Capri dockside riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana.

As the Company's planned principal operations had not yet commenced as of April
30, 1995, the Company is reporting as a development stage enterprise.  Since
inception, the Company's activities have focused on the pursuit of a riverboat
gaming license and other regulatory approvals, the raising of capital, the
construction of the riverboat casino and land based facilities, and the
development of the project in general.  The Company has received substantial
financial support from Crown, LRGP and Casino America.

NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT


                                     F-54

<PAGE>   118

In connection with the acquisition of the Company by Crown, the Company's
former owner agreed not to compete with the Company in the Louisiana market for
a period of five years.  The non-compete agreement is stated at the cost
allocated by Crown to the agreement, net of accumulated amortization of
$183,326 and $83,330 as of April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Amortization
is recorded using the straight-line method over a period of five years.

DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Note and amendments to the
agreement governing the Senior Note, the Company incurred debt issuance costs
of $2,569,717.  These costs have been amortized over the term of the Senior
Note using the effective interest method.

LICENSE COSTS
License costs principally represent the excess purchase price Crown paid in
acquiring the Company's net identifiable tangible assets. These costs will be
amortized beginning in July 1995 (commencement of operations) over the
remaining license term using the straight-line method.  The Louisiana license
was issued on March 29, 1994 and has a five year initial term, which is subject
to renewal.

INCOME TAXES
The Company is included in Crown's consolidated federal income tax return.  The
provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements is computed
on a separate return basis.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.


C - LICENSING

The Company has received a certificate of final approval from the Louisiana
Riverboat Gaming Commission ("Gaming Commission") and a license with certain
conditions from the Louisiana Riverboat Gaming Enforcement Division of the
Office of State Police (the "Enforcement Division").  The conditions to the
license include (i) the Enforcement Division's approval of the operation of the
riverboat under an approved plan of security and internal controls for a period
of six months, (ii) the exercise of due diligence in the development of its
planned hotel in Calcasieu Parish and (iii) obtaining the Enforcement
Division's prior written approval to any modifications to its plans for such
hotel, including the abandonment of any portion of the project.  Upon
satisfaction of the conditions to the license, a permanent license will be
issued by the Enforcement Division.



D - DEBT

At April 30, 1995, the Company had the following debt:

                                                                          $26,511,603

</TABLE>

In June 1994, the Company issued a $28 million Senior Secured Increasing Rate
Note (the "Senior Note") to an institutional investor.  The Senior Note was
initially due on June 3, 1995, but was subsequently extended to August 31, 1995
and carried a 12% coupon increasing 67 basis points each quarter up to a
maximum interest rate of 14%.  The Senior Note was issued with a warrant to
purchase 508,414 shares of Crown's common stock.  The proceeds from the private
placement were allocated between the Senior Note ($26.7 million) and the
warrant ($1.3 million) based upon the relative fair value of each of the
securities at the time of issuance.  The amount allocated to the warrant has
been recorded as an increase in the advances from Crown account.  The resulting
original issue discount has been amortized over the life of the Senior Note
using the effective interest method.



                                     F-55

<PAGE>   119

On August 7, 1995, SCGC and LRGP (collectively, the "Issuers") jointly issued
$38.4 million of Senior Secured Increasing Rate Notes (the "New Notes"), the
proceeds of which were used to retire the Senior Note ($21.9 million) and
certain LRGP obligations ($8.4 million).  The balance of the proceeds will be
used in the development of the Calcasieu Parish project.  The New Notes
initially become due on July 27, 1996, but can be extended up to an additional
twelve months at the option of the Issuers provided no event of default has
occurred and is continuing, carry a 12% coupon increasing 25 basis points each
quarter until maturity, and provide for contingent interest beginning in May
1996 equal to 7.5% of the Issuers' consolidated cash flow, as defined.  The New
Notes are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Issuers and
contain covenants relating to certain business, operational and financial
matters including limitations on (i) incurring additional debt, (ii) paying
dividends, (iii) merging or consolidating with others, (iv) changes in control,
(v) capital expenditures, (vi) investments and joint ventures, and (vii) the
sale of assets, and financial covenants pertaining to (a) minimum cash flow,
(b) minimum fixed charge ratio, (c) maximum leverage ratio, and (d) minimum net
worth.  Management of the Company anticipates that the Company will fail to
meet certain financial covenants of the agreement governing the New Notes
which, if not amended or waived, would result in an event of default.  The
Issuers are currently having discussions with the holder of the New Notes
regarding the anticipated event of default.  While no assurance can be given
that a satisfactory waiver or amendment will be forthcoming, management of the
Company expects the Issuers will obtain such waiver or amendment to cure the
anticipated event of default.

In March 1995, the Company issued promissory notes aggregating $4.7 million to
Casino America (the "Casino America Notes").  The Casino America Notes bear
interest at 11.5% per annum and are due three business days after the New Notes
are paid in full.

In May 1995, the Company issued a promissory note to LRGP equal to the lesser
of (i) $15 million, or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances
made by LRGP to the Company.  The note bears interest at the same rate of
interest LRGP is charged on certain bank indebtedness, and is due three
business days after the New Notes are paid in full.  The proceeds from the
issuance of the note has been used to develop the Calcasieu Parish project.

In addition, LRGP has made certain advances to the Company.  Interest accrues
on such advances at the rate of 11.5% per annum.  There is no stated maturity
date of such advances.  The proceeds from the advances have been used to
develop the Calcasieu Parish project.

At April 30, 1995 the Company recorded a valuation allowance equal to the
excess of deferred tax assets over deferred tax liabilities because the
realization of such excess deferred tax assets was not reasonably assured.  At
April 30, 1995 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $2,836,000 which expires in 2009 and 2010.


F - LEASES

In March and July 1995, the Company entered into agreements to lease the two
parcels of land that comprise the Calcasieu Parish riverboat casino site.  The
leases have an initial term of five years with seven five year renewal options.
During the initial term, the leases require annual aggregate rental payments of
$850,000 in years one through four, and $1,000,000 in year five, payable
monthly.  During the first renewal term, the rent will be increased annually by
the greater of (i) 5%, or (ii) the percentage increase in the average consumer
price index for Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana for the previous twelve month
period.  During the second through seventh renewal terms, the lessor and the
Company will attempt to set the rent equal to 100% of the rent paid by other
riverboat gaming operators in Louisiana and Mississippi for comparable property
usages, or if no agreement can be made, then the parties will appoint real
estate appraisers to set the rent for such renewal term.  However, in no event
shall the annual rent be less than $1.6 million during the fourth and all
subsequent renewal terms.  In addition, the Company will pay all real estate
taxes, except for taxes due on the unimproved value of the property.

In addition to the Calcasieu Parish site leases, the Company has entered into
various operating leases for equipment



                                     F-57

<PAGE>   121

and office facilities.  The aggregate rentals due under such leases were not
significant at April 30, 1995.  Rent expense for the year ended April 30, 1995
and the period from June 25, 1993 (acquisition date) to April 30, 1994 was
$61,539 and $15,483, respectively.

The Company has also entered into various capital leases for equipment.  As of
April 30, 1995 future minimum lease payments under capital leases were as

G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS TO CALCASIEU PARISH
In January 1995, the Company made a commitment to Calcasieu Parish to provide
certain payments to the Parish above and beyond the statutory admissions tax.
The Company committed to a $1 million initial payment, which was paid upon the
opening of the casino, and a $1 million annual payment for as long as the
casino is operating at its site in the Parish, but in no event less than six
years.  In June 1995 the Company and the Parish entered into a definitive
development agreement whereby, in consideration for the payments to be made by
the Company to the Parish, the Parish is required to cooperate with and provide
assistance to the Company in obtaining and maintaining necessary permits and
approvals to operate its riverboat gaming casino.

LITIGATION
On September 21, 1994, an action was filed against Crown and the Company in the
24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana by Avondale
Industries, Inc. ("Avondale").  In this action, Avondale alleges that the
Company was contractually obligated to Avondale for the construction of the
Company's riverboat vessel based upon a letter of intent (allegedly reaffirming
a previous agreement entered into between Avondale and the Company).  Avondale
alleges that the Company breached a duty to negotiate in good faith toward the
execution of a definitive vessel construction contract.  Alternatively,
Avondale alleges that a separate, oral contract for the construction of the
vessel existed and that the Company committed unspecified unfair trade
practices and made certain misrepresentations.  Avondale seeks unspecified
damages including "all lost profits and lost overhead" and attorneys fees.  The
Company intends to vigorously contest liability in this matter.


H - SITE CHANGE AND BUY OUT OF MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

In January 1995, the Company made the decision to abandon its site in St.
Charles Parish, Louisiana in favor of a new site in Calcasieu Parish,
Louisiana.  As a result of this decision the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $3.1 million which represents the write-off of previously
capitalized costs specific to the St. Charles Parish site.

In March 1995, in connection with Crown's pending sale of a 50% interest in the
Company's common stock to LRGP, the Company bought out its existing casino
management agreement for $4 million and entered into a new management agreement
with Casino America.  The Casino America management agreement has a term of 99
years and provides for a management fee of (i) 2% of "Revenues", as defined in
the agreement (generally net gaming revenues less gaming and admission taxes
plus all other operating revenues), plus (ii)



                                     F-58

<PAGE>   122

10% of "Net Operating Income", as defined in the agreement, provided however,
the total management fee shall not exceed 4% of "Revenues."


I - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company had net advances from Crown of $3,076,887 and $9,304,590 as of
April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Crown advances are noninterest
bearing.  Advances from Crown have been used to fund the construction of the
riverboat and support pre-opening and development activities.  Included in net
advances at April 30, 1995 is $1,500,000 relating to Crown common stock issued
as payment for expenses of the Company.  In June 1995, in connection with
Crown's sale of a 50% interest in the Company's common stock to LRGP, Crown
contributed the balance in its advance account to the Company.

Advances from LRGP bear interest at 11.5 % per annum and are due three business
days after the New Notes are paid in full.

The Company incurred legal costs of $269,771 and $122,289 for the year ended
April 30, 1995 and the period from June 25, 1993 (acquisition date) to April
30, 1994, respectively, from a law firm of which a director of the Company is a
partner.  In March 1995, this director became an executive officer of Crown.

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JULY 31, 1995


A - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

St. Charles Gaming Company, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, (the "Company") was
incorporated on January 18, 1993 for the purpose of operating a riverboat
gaming casino to be based in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana (near New Orleans).
In January 1995, the Company changed its riverboat berthing site from St.
Charles Parish to Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (near Lake Charles).  On July 29,
1995 the Company commenced riverboat gaming operations.

Effective June 25, 1993, the Company was acquired by Crown Casino Corporation
("Crown").  Crown completed its acquisition of the Company at a price which
exceeded the book value of the net assets of the Company at the acquisition
date and accounted for the transaction using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, Crown allocated the excess purchase price to the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The Company has adopted the fiscal
year of Crown which ends on April 30.

Effective June 9, 1995, Crown sold a 50% interest in the Company to Louisiana
Riverboat Gaming Partnership ("LRGP"), a joint venture owned 50% by Casino
America, Inc. ("Casino America") and 50% by Louisiana Downs, Inc.  LRGP owns
the Isle of Capri(SM) dockside riverboat casino in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Since inception, the Company's activities have focused on the pursuit of a
riverboat gaming license and other regulatory approvals, the raising of
capital, the construction of the riverboat casino and land based facilities,
and the development of the project in general.  The Company has received
substantial financial support from Crown, LRGP and Casino America.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the quarter ended July
31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended April 30, 1996.  For further information, refer to St. Charles
Gaming Company, Inc.'s financial statements and footnotes for the year ended
April 30, 1995.

At July 31, 1995, the Company had the following debt:

                                                               $40,476,818                                    
                                                               ===========                                    
</TABLE>


In June 1994, the Company issued a $28 million Senior Secured Increasing Rate
Note (the "Senior Note") to an institutional investor.  The Senior Note was
initially due on June 3, 1995, but was subsequently extended to August 31, 1995
and carried a 12% coupon increasing 67 basis points each quarter up to a
maximum interest rate of 14%.

On August 7, 1995, SCGC and LRGP (collectively, the "Issuers") jointly issued
$38.4 million of Senior Secured Increasing Rate Notes (the "New Notes"), the
proceeds of which were used to retire the Senior Note ($21.9 million) and
certain LRGP obligations ($8.4 million).  The balance of the proceeds were used
in the development of the Calcasieu Parish project.  The New Notes initially
become due on July 27, 1996, but can be extended up to an additional twelve
months at the option of the Issuers provided no event of default has occurred
and is continuing,

                                     F-63
<PAGE>   127

carry a 12% coupon increasing 25 basis points each quarter until maturity, and
provide for contingent interest beginning in May 1996 equal to 7.5% of the
Issuers' consolidated cash flow, as defined.  The New Notes are collateralized
by substantially all the assets of the Issuers and contain covenants relating
to certain business, operational and financial matters including limitations on
(i) incurring additional debt, (ii) paying dividends, (iii) merging or
consolidating with others, (iv) changes in control, (v) capital expenditures,
(vi) investments and joint ventures, and (vii) the sale of assets, and
financial covenants pertaining to (i) minimum cash flow, (ii) minimum fixed
charge ratio, (iii) maximum leverage ratio, and (iv) minimum net worth.
Management of the Company anticipates that the Company will fail to meet
certain financial covenants of the agreement governing the New Notes which, if
not amended or waived, would result in an event of default.  The Issuers are
currently having discussions with the holder of the New Notes regarding the
anticipated event of default.  While no assurance can be given that a
satisfactory waiver or amendment will be forthcoming, management of the Company
expects the Issuers will obtain such waiver or amendment to cure the
anticipated event of default.

In March 1995, the Company issued promissory notes aggregating $4.7 million to
Casino America (the "Casino America Notes").  The Casino America Notes bear
interest at 11.5% per annum and are due three business days after the New Notes
are paid in full.

In May 1995, the Company issued a promissory note to LRGP equal to the lesser
of (i) $15 million, or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances
made by LRGP to the Company.  The note bears interest at the same rate of
interest LRGP is charged on certain bank indebtedness (10% at July 31, 1995),
and is due three business days after the New Notes are paid in full.  The
proceeds from the issuance of the note has been used to develop the Calcasieu
Parish project.

In addition, LRGP has made certain advances to the Company.  Interest accrues
on such advances at the rate of 11.5% per annum.  There is no stated maturity
date of such advances.  The proceeds from the advances have been used to
develop the Calcasieu Parish project.



C - DEFERRED TAX ASSET

Effective June 9, 1995 (date of Crown's sale of 50% of the Company to LRGP),
the Company began recording a deferred tax asset to reflect the tax benefit of
net operating losses incurred from such date forward.  The Company has
evaluated the realization of net operating loss carryforwards in light of
initial operating results and future projections, and has determined that the
realization of a deferred tax benefit from a portion of such net operating
losses is reasonably assured.



D - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION
On September 21, 1994, an action was filed against Crown and the Company in the
24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, Louisiana by Avondale
Industries, Inc. ("Avondale").  In this action, Avondale alleges that the
Company was contractually obligated to Avondale for the construction of the
Company's riverboat vessel based upon a letter of intent (allegedly reaffirming
a previous agreement entered into between Avondale and the Company).  Avondale
alleges that the Company breached a duty to negotiate in good faith toward the
execution of a definitive vessel construction contract.  Alternatively,
Avondale alleges that a separate oral contract for the construction of the
vessel existed and that the Company committed unspecified unfair trade
practices and made certain misrepresentations.  Avondale seeks unspecified
damages including "all lost profits and lost overhead" and attorneys fees.  The
Company intends to vigorously contest liability in this matter.

CONSTRUCTION
At July 31, 1995 the Company was committed under various contracts relating to
construction of its land based facilities and certain road improvements.  The
total amount of non-cancelable commitments as of July 31, 1995 was
approximately $3 million.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that a director shall
not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary
damages for an act or omission in the director's capacity as a director, except
that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director
for (a) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders; (b) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a
breach of duty of the director to the Company or an act or omission that
involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (c) a
transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or
not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the
director's office; or (d) an act or omission for which the liability of a
director is expressly provided by an applicable statute.

        The Company's Articles of Incorporation also provide that if applicable
law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting
the liability of directors, then the liability of each director of the
Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, as amended.

        Article XI of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company shall
indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any
proceeding to which he was a party or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein because he is or was a director or officer of the Company, against
reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with such defense.

        The Company's Bylaws also provide that the Company may indemnify or
obligate itself to indemnify an individual who was, is or is threatened to be
made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because he is or was a
director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if (a) acting
in his official capacity as a director or officer of the Company, he acted in a
manner he believed in good faith to be in the best interests of the Company,
(b) in all other cases, his conduct was at least not opposed to the Company's
best interests, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The Company may not
indemnify a director or officer (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in
the right of the Company in which the director or officer was adjudged liable
to the corporation, or (b) in connection with any other proceeding in which he
was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received
by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the
person's official capacity.

Common Stock, which warrant was issued in October 1994.

        On January 5, 1994, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 80,440
shares of its Common Stock to Sun Life Insurance Company of America, Inc. ("Sun

        On May 26, 1994, the Company concluded a private placement of 3,316,756
shares of its Common Stock to an aggregate of 182 accredited investors for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $17.7 million.  On March 18, 1994,
the Company issued a warrant to purchase 120,000 shares of its Common Stock to

        In connection with the sale by SCGC of a one-year note to an
institutional investor in June 1994, the Company issued to such investor a
warrant to purchase 508,414 shares of the Company's Common Stock.


                                      II-2
<PAGE>   131

        In March 1995, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Crown Common Stock
to Calcasieu Development Corporation ("CDC") in consideration for the mutual
release and termination of a previous agreement relating to certain land in the
city of Lake Charles, and CDC's cooperation in effecting SCGC's development of
its site in Calcasieu Parish.

        In March and July 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000
shares of Crown Common Stock as partial consideration for consulting services
rendered by a single individual.

        In February and March 1995, the Company completed the sale of 150,000
shares of Common Stock to certain foreign investors under the provisions of
Regulation S under the Securities Act.

        In April 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of 75,000 shares of its
Common Stock to three individuals in connection with consulting services
performed by such individuals on behalf of the Company.

        Except as otherwise noted, all issuances of securities described above
were made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rules 505 and/or 506 of Regulation D
promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public
offering.  The Company believes that all of the securities were acquired by the
recipients thereof for investment for their own accounts and with no view
toward the resale or distribution thereof.  With respect to issuances made in
reliance only upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, each of the recipients
of such securities had a preexisting business relationship with the Company or
its principals, the offers and sales were made without any public solicitation
and the certificates bear restrictive legends.  No underwriter was involved in
such transactions.  In late 1993 and early 1994, the Company agreed to file a
registration statement covering the shares of certain purchasers in the private
placements, and was obligated to file such registration statement no later than
May 31, 1994.  The Company therefore has filed this Registration Statement
covering all shares issued in the private placements.  In each instance, the
offers and sales were made without any public solicitation, the certificates
bear restrictive legends and appropriate stop transfer instructions have been
or will be given to the transfer agent.  No underwriter was involved in the
transactions.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

        (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

            1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
               made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

               (i)     to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
                       of the Securities Act of 1933; 
               (ii)    to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events 
                       arising after the effective date of the Registration 
                       Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment 
                       thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, 
                       represent a fundamental change in the information set 
                       forth in the Registration Statement;
               (iii)   to include any material information with respect to the
                       plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                       Registration Statement or any material changes to such
                       information in the Registration Statement.

            2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
               Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment
               shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
               the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
               securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
               fide offering thereof.

            3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
               amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
               unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 15, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

        (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

            1. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
               Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus
               filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon
               Rule 430A and contained in a form of Prospectus filed by the
               Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the
               Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this
               Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

            2. For the purpose of determining any liability under the
               Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that
               contains a form of Prospectus shall be deemed to be a new
               Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
               therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
               be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
