NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS             Crown Casino Corporation
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997 
(Unaudited)



NOTE A - History and Description of Business

Crown Casino Corporation ("Crown" or the "Company") is a holding company which
presently owns 79% of Concorde Acceptance Corporation ("Concorde"), a sub-prime
mortgage lender, and 49% of Casino Magic Neuquen S.A. ("CMN"), a casino
operator in the Province of Neuquen, Argentina.  Crown also owns 100% of Gaming
Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("GEMS") which owned an 18.6 acre tract
of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada.  In September 1997 GEMS
sold the Las Vegas land for $15.25 million.  The Company is presently focusing
on (i)  the acquisition or development of other casino gaming properties in
Argentina, (ii) the development and expansion of Concorde's mortgage based
lending business, and (iii) the potential acquisition or development of other
businesses unrelated to casino gaming or mortgage based lending.

From June 1993, with the acquisition of 100% of St. Charles Gaming Company,
Inc. ("SCGC"), until November 1996, the Company's primary business focus was
that of owning, operating and developing casino gaming properties.  SCGC owns
and operates a riverboat gaming casino located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana,
which had been in the development stage until opening in July 1995.  In June
1995 the Company sold a 50% interest in SCGC to Louisiana Riverboat Gaming
Partnership ("LRGP") and in May 1996 sold its remaining 50% interest in SCGC to
Casino America, Inc. ("Casino America")  (see Note D).

In November 1996 the Company decided to cease pursuing gaming opportunities in
the United States and began pursuing business opportunities in fields unrelated
to casino gaming.  As a result in June 1997 the Company, along with certain
newly hired management personnel, formed Concorde.  Concorde is in the business
of originating, purchasing, servicing and selling sub-prime mortgage loans
which are secured primarily by first and second liens on residential
properties.  These loans are expected to be sold in privately negotiated
transactions as well as to institutional investors in the secondary market
through securitization programs.

Also in June 1997 the Company acquired a 49% interest in CMN and related assets
from Casino Magic Corp. ("Casino Magic").  CMN operates casinos in the cities
of Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes in the Province of Neuquen, Argentina
under an exclusive concession contract (see Note C).

Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1997.

Amortization of CMN Related Assets

other assets in connection with its purchase of 49% of CMN.  The management and
royalty agreements are being amortized over 9 1/2 years which represents the
remaining term of the concession contract.  The slot equipment and lease are
being amortized over five years.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1998 presentation.

NOTE C - ACQUISITION OF 49% OF CMN

On June 2, 1997 the Company acquired 49% of the capital stock of CMN, as well
as interests in certain other assets and contracts related to CMN, from Casino
Magic for a purchase price of $7 million.  CMN operates casinos in the cities
of Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes in the Province of Neuquen, Argentina
under an exclusive concession contract that expires in 2007, but can be
extended by CMN for an additional five years under certain circumstances.  The
interests in certain other assets and contracts include (i) a demand promissory
note in the amount of $4,226,743 issued by CMN, (ii) a 16.4% interest in a
certain management agreement relating to CMN, and (iii) a 49% interest in (a)
slot machines and a related lease agreement, and (b) a certain royalty
agreement relating to CMN.

Pursuant to the various CMN agreements, the Company receives its respective
share of various fees and rental payments due under such agreements.

The Company has allocated the purchase price as follows (in thousands):

The following unaudited condensed pro forma results of operations of the
Company for the three months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996 were prepared as if
the acquisition of 49% of CMN and related assets had occurred on May 1, 1997
and May 1, 1996, respectively (in thousands, except per share amounts).  The
adjustments to the historical financial statements principally consist of (i)
recognizing the Company's pro-rata share of CMN earnings and contractual fees,
(ii) recording interest income on the note receivable from CMN, (iii)
eliminating interest income on the $7 million used to acquire 49% of CMN and
related assets, and (iv) amortizing the CMN related agreements and equipment.

time in the open market.  At July 31, 1997 the Company had repurchased
1,739,774 shares pursuant to this program.  The timing and amount of future
share repurchases, if any, will depend on various factors including market
conditions, available alternative investments and the Company's financial
position.


NOTE F - SETTLEMENT OF LAWSUITS

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 alleged 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 was
seeking unspecified damages including "all lost profits and lost overhead" and
attorneys fees.  Avondale claimed its lost profits and lost overhead amounted
to approximately $2.5 million.  This matter was settled in August, 1997, by the
payment to Avondale of an undisclosed sum, which sum has been reflected in
these financial statements.

In July 1997 an action was filed against certain officers of Concorde, along
with Concorde and the Company (collectively, the "Defendants") in the 134th
Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas by Eagle Capital Corp.
("Eagle").  In this action Eagle alleged that while such officers were employed
by Eagle they disseminated confidential and proprietary information regarding
Eagle to the Company in order to create a competing business.  Eagle sought to
enjoin all Defendants from their alleged possession and use of Eagle's
confidential business information and to recover damages in an unspecified
amount.  This matter was settled in August, 1997, with full release of all
parties and without the payment by the Company of any monetary consideration.


NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered into severance agreements with its three executive
officers which provide for payments to the executives in the event of their
termination after a change in control, as defined, of the Company.  The
agreements provide, among other things, for a compensation payment equal to
2.99 times the annual compensation paid to the executive, as well as
accelerated vesting of options under the Company's incentive stock option plan,
in the event of such executive's termination in connection with a change in
control.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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


OVERVIEW

Crown Casino Corporation ("Crown" or the "Company") is a holding company which
presently owns 79% of Concorde Acceptance Corporation ("Concorde"), a sub-prime
mortgage lender, and 49% of Casino Magic Neuquen S.A. ("CMN"), a casino
operator in the Province of Neuquen, Argentina.  Crown also owns 100% of Gaming
Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("GEMS") which owned an 18.6 acre tract
of land in the gaming district of Las Vegas, Nevada.  In September 1997 GEMS
sold the Las Vegas land for $15.25 million.  The Company is presently focusing
on (i)  the acquisition or development of other casino gaming properties in
Argentina, (ii) the development and expansion of Concorde's mortgage based
lending business, and (iii) the potential acquisition or development of other
businesses unrelated to casino gaming or mortgage based lending.

Since its inception in 1983 through June 1993 the Company was principally
engaged in various facets of the cable and related programming businesses.
From June 1993, with the acquisition of 100% of St. Charles Gaming Company,
Inc. ("SCGC"), until November 1996, the Company's primary business focus was
that of owning, operating and developing casino gaming properties.  SCGC owns
and operates a riverboat gaming casino located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana,
which had been in the development stage until opening in July 1995.  In June
1995 the Company sold a 50% interest in SCGC to Louisiana Riverboat Gaming
Partnership ("LRGP") and in May 1996 sold its remaining 50% interest in SCGC to
Casino America, Inc.

In November 1996 the Company decided to cease pursuing gaming opportunities in
the United States and began pursuing business opportunities in fields unrelated
to casino gaming.  As a result in June 1997 the Company, along with certain
newly hired management personnel, formed Concorde.  Concorde is in the business
of originating, purchasing, servicing and selling sub-prime mortgage loans
which are secured primarily by first and second liens on residential
properties.  These loans are expected to be sold in privately negotiated
transactions as well as to institutional investors in the secondary market
through securitization programs.

Also in June 1997 the Company acquired a 49% interest in CMN and related assets
from Casino Magic Corp. for a purchase price of $7 million.  CMN operates
casinos in the cities of Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes in the Province of
Neuquen, Argentina under an exclusive concession contract.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended July 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended July 31,
1996

Interest income for the three months ended July 31, 1997 decreased $222,047
compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease was
principally the result of earning 11.5% per annum on the $20 million of notes
due from LRGP in the prior fiscal period, as compared to earning from 5.3% to
11.7% on monies invested in certain money market funds, residential mortgage
notes and certain other notes held during the current fiscal period.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 1997
increased $508,369 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The
increase was principally the result of (i) approximately $520,000 of costs
associated with defending and settling certain lawsuits, and (ii) approximately
$70,000 of personnel, licensing and marketing costs associated with the
formation and development of Concorde's mortgage based lending business,
partially offset by decreases in compensation and travel expenses.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended July 31, 1997
increased $47,829 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The
increase was the result of amortizing certain CMN related assets and
agreements. Gaming development costs for the three months ended July 31, 1997
decreased $18,556 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year as a
result of the Company's decision to cease pursuing gaming opportunities in the
United States.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 12, 1997 the Company's sources of liquidity included (i)
approximately $25 million cash on hand, (ii) approximately $6 million of
mortgage and other notes receivable, and (iii) the issuance of debt and/or
equity.

While the Company is focusing on (i) the acquisition or development of other
casino gaming properties in Argentina, (ii) the





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
development and expansion of Concorde's mortgage based lending business, and
(iii) the potential acquisition or development of other businesses unrelated to
casino gaming or mortgage based lending, the Company has made no definitive
plans for the utilization of the Company's capital resources.  Presently
management believes that the Company's capital resources are sufficient to
satisfy its capital needs for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1998.

In March 1996 the Company's Board of Directors approved a program, as amended,
to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock from time to
time in the open market.  As of July 31, 1997 the Company had repurchased
1,739,774 shares pursuant to this program.  The timing and amount of future
share repurchases, if any, will depend on various factors including market
conditions, available alternative investments and the Company's financial
position.
