RESORTS INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, INC.
All of the (i) $17,562,000 principal amount of 11% Mortgage Notes due
2003 (the "Mortgage Notes") issued by Resorts International Hotel Financing,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RIHF") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RII"), and guaranteed (the
"Mortgage Note Guaranty") by Resorts International Hotel, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation ("RIH"), and a wholly owned subsidiary of RII; and (ii) 776 Units
(the "Units"), each Unit comprised of (a) $1,000 principal amount of 11.375%
Junior Mortgage Notes due 2004 (the "Junior Mortgage Notes") issued by RIHF and
guaranteed (the "Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty") by RIH, and (b) one share of
Class B Redeemable Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Common
Stock"), of RII, offered hereby are being offered by the Selling
Securityholders. This Prospectus, dated May __, 1995, updates material
information contained in the Company's original Prospectus dated May 4, 1994,
for the offering being made by the Selling Securityholders. See "Selling
Securityholders." The term "Company" as used herein includes RII and/or one or
more of its subsidiaries, as the context may require.
Interest on the Mortgage Notes accrues at the rate of 11% per year and
is payable in cash, semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year.
See "Description of Mortgage Notes." The Mortgage Notes, as a class, are
secured by an assignment of a promissory note of RIH (the "RIH Promissory
Note") in the original principal amount of $125,000,000, payable in amounts and
at times necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Mortgage Notes.
The RIH Promissory Note is secured by a lien on all real property, improvements
thereon and certain other property and equipment described below constituting
Merv Griffin's Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey (the "Resorts
Casino Hotel"). The RIH Promissory Note and the Resorts Casino Hotel
collectively are referred to as the "Mortgage Note Trust Estate". In addition,
RIH has issued the Mortgage Note Guaranty of the payment of principal of and
interest on the Mortgage Notes, secured by a lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel.
The Mortgage Notes will be structurally subordinated to certain notes of RIHF
(the "Senior Facility Notes") that may be issued pursuant to a senior secured
note purchase agreement (the "Senior Facility"). See "Description of Mortgage
Notes."
Interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes accrues at the rate of 11.375%
per year and is payable in cash or, at RIHF's option and
<PAGE> 3
subject to certain limitations, additional Units comprised of Junior
Mortgage Notes and Class B Common Stock, semi-annually on June 15 and
December 15 of each year. See "Description of Junior Mortgage Notes". Interest
may be paid in additional Units ("Payments-In-Kind") on any interest payment
date on which RIH's Consolidated Cash Flow (as defined in the indenture
pursuant to which the Junior Mortgage Notes were issued (the "Junior Mortgage
Note Indenture")) for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters is less
than $35,000,000. Upon the redemption, or cancellation following the purchase
thereof, of each $1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes, RII will
redeem, at $0.01, the one share of Class B Common Stock issued as a Unit with
each $1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes. The Junior Mortgage
Notes and the Class B Common Stock comprising the Units may not be transferred
separately. The Junior Mortgage Notes, as a class, are secured by an assignment
of a junior promissory note of RIH (the "RIH Junior Promissory Note") in the
original principal amount of $35,000,000, payable in amounts and at times
necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes.
The RIH Junior Promissory Note is secured by a lien on the Resorts Casino
Hotel. The RIH Junior Promissory Note and the Resorts Casino Hotel collectively
are referred to as the "Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate". In addition, RIH
has issued the Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty of the payment of principal of and
interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes, secured by a lien on the Resorts Casino
Hotel. The Junior Mortgage Notes will be structurally subordinated to RIHF's
Senior Facility Notes, if issued, and are structurally subordinated to the
Mortgage Notes. See "Description of Junior Mortgage Notes."
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
Mortgage Notes or Units. Any or all of such Mortgage Notes or Units may be
sold, from time to time, by means of ordinary brokerage transactions or
otherwise at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at such other prices as
may be negotiated among the parties. The Mortgage Notes and Units are listed on

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed
information and financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in
this Prospectus.
THE REGISTRANTS
RII is a holding company which, through its subsidiary, RIH, is
principally engaged in the ownership and operation of the Resorts Casino Hotel
in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In addition, RII owns land in Atlantic City at
various sites, including approximately 10 acres of Boardwalk property that the
Company leases to Atlantic City Showboat, Inc. ("ACS") under a 99-year net
lease (the "Showboat Lease") and approximately 90 acres which are available for
development. RII was incorporated in 1958 and is a Delaware corporation.
RIHF was incorporated in Delaware in 1993 for the limited purpose of
issuing the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes, and receiving certain
corresponding promissory notes of RIH. RIHF also entered into the Senior
Facility. See "Restructuring of Series Notes." RIHF is a wholly owned
subsidiary of RII.
RIH owns and operates all the property and improvements of the Resorts
Casino Hotel. The Resorts Casino Hotel is located on the Boardwalk in Atlantic
City, New Jersey, and has approximately 670 guest rooms, a 60,000-square-foot
casino and related facilities. RIH was incorporated in 1903 and is a New Jersey
corporation. RIH has issued certain promissory notes and guarantees relating to
the Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes.
RISK FACTORS
The Mortgage Notes and Units offered hereby involve certain risks that
should be carefully considered by prospective investors. See "Risk Factors."
EMERGENCE FROM BANKRUPTCY
On May 3, 1994, a joint plan of reorganization proposed by RII,
together with certain of its debtor and non-debtor subsidiaries, including
RIHF, became effective. As a result, among other things, RII has significantly
reduced its consolidated debt and sold its former casino, hotel and resort
operations on Paradise Island in The Bahamas. See "Restructuring of Series
Notes" and "Pro Forma Financial Data."

<PAGE> 14
the sum of the fair values of the items exchanged therefor resulted in
a gain of $186,000,000 which is reported as an extraordinary item.
In November 1994, RIH purchased 12,899 Units comprising $12,899,000
principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes and 12,899 shares of Class B
Stock of RII at a price of $6,740,000. The resulting gain of

earnings available for fixed charges (earnings before income taxes
adjusted for interest expense, amortization of debt discount and
one-third of rent expense) by fixed charges. Fixed charges include
interest expense, amortization of debt discount and one-third of rent
expense. RII's historical earnings were insufficient to cover fixed
charges by $54,802,000 for 1992; $101,164,000 for 1993; and
$98,891,000 for 1994. Pro forma earnings were insufficient to cover
fixed charges by $11,012,000. For ratios of earnings to fixed charges
for additional periods see "Selected Historical Financial Data."

THE COMPANY
RII is a holding company which, through its subsidiary, RIH, is
principally engaged in the ownership and operation of the Resorts Casino Hotel
in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In addition, RII owns land in Atlantic City at
various sites, including approximately 10 acres of Boardwalk property that the
Company leases to ACS under the Showboat Lease, and approximately 90 acres
which are available for development. RII was incorporated in 1958 and is a
Delaware corporation.
RIHF was incorporated in Delaware in 1993 for the limited purpose of
issuing the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes, and receiving certain
corresponding promissory notes of RIH. RIHF also has entered into the Senior
Facility and may issue the Senior Facility Notes. RIHF is a wholly owned
subsidiary of RII.
11
<PAGE> 15
RIH owns and operates all the property and improvements of the Resorts
Casino Hotel. The Resorts Casino Hotel is located on the Boardwalk in Atlantic
City, New Jersey, and has approximately 670 guest rooms, a 60,000-square-foot
casino and related facilities. RIH was incorporated in 1903 and is a New Jersey
corporation wholly owned by RII. RIH has issued certain promissory notes and
guarantees relating to the Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 5, 1994, RII (and a subsidiary, GGRI, Inc. ("GGRI"))
commenced a solicitation of acceptances of a joint plan of reorganization (the
"Plan") prior to initiating cases under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United
States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") as part of a "prepackaged bankruptcy." The
requisite acceptances for confirmation of the Plan were received and, on March
21, 1994, the Plan was filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") which confirmed the Plan on April
22, 1994. The Plan became effective on May 3, 1994.
Pursuant to the Plan, RII's former Series Notes were exchanged for the
Mortgage Notes, Units consisting of the Junior Mortgage Notes and Class B
Common Stock, shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") of RII, shares of an unaffiliated corporation that now owns the
Company's former Paradise Island assets and operations in The Bahamas, and
certain cash consideration.
As a result of the Restructuring of the Series Notes effected by the
Plan, the Company's only significant remaining assets and operations are those
located in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
See "Risk Factors," "Restructuring of Series Notes," "Pro Forma
Financial Data" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" as to the foregoing and other related
information contained in this Prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
Investors should carefully consider all of the information set forth
in this Prospectus. In particular, careful consideration should be given to the
information set forth below with respect to certain risk factors generally
applicable to an investment in the Mortgage Notes or Units.
12
<PAGE> 16
CONTINUING HIGH LEVERAGE; FUTURE REFINANCINGS
The Company is highly leveraged. The Company's aggregate publicly
issued recourse indebtedness totals approximately $147,000,000, assuming no
borrowing is made under the Senior Facility described under "Restructuring of
Series Notes." The Company's high leverage poses substantial risks to holders
of the Company's debt and equity securities.
Debt service on the Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes is
premised solely on cash flows generated from the continued operation of the
Resorts Casino Hotel. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate
sufficient cash from operations to repay, when due, the principal amount of the
Mortgage Notes maturing in 2003, or the principal amount of the Junior Mortgage
Notes maturing in 2004. As a result, the Company may be required to refinance
such amounts as they become due and payable. While the Company believes that it
will be able to refinance such amounts, there can be no assurance that any such
refinancing would be consummated or, if consummated, would be in an amount
sufficient to repay such obligations, particularly in light of the Company's
high level of debt. If the Company is unable to effectuate such refinancings or
renewals in the ordinary course of business, it may be required to sell equity
interests in the Company. The sale of additional equity interests in the
Company could result in substantial dilution of the interests of the Company's
existing equity holders. There can be no assurance that such sales would be
consummated or, if consummated, would be in an amount sufficient to repay such
obligations in full. The failure to raise sufficient amounts of capital from
such sales could ultimately result in the Company's inability to meet its debt
obligations, including its obligations under the Mortgage Notes and the Junior
Mortgage Notes.
RECENT LOSSES
The Company experienced losses before extraordinary items of
$53,454,000, $102,164,000 and $98,891,000 in its fiscal years ended December
31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. In addition, the Company's earnings
before fixed charges were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $54,802,000,
$101,164,000 and $98,891,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992,
1993 and 1994, respectively. See "Pro Forma Financial Data," in this
connection.
INVOLVEMENT OF MERV GRIFFIN
The involvement of Merv Griffin, Chairman of the Board of RII, in the
affairs of the Company is believed to be extremely important to its future
prospects. The Company believes Merv Griffin's participation enhances and
projects a high positive profile for the Company's operations, and helps to
distinguish
13
<PAGE> 17
the Company from its competitors. There can be no assurance that Merv Griffin's
involvement will continue beyond September 17, 1997, the termination date of
the License and Services Agreement (the "Griffin Services Agreement"), dated
and effective as of September 17, 1992, among RII and RIH, and The Griffin
Group, Inc. (the "Griffin Group"), a corporation controlled by Mr. Griffin.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Original Issue Discount. The Junior Mortgage Notes and the Mortgage
Notes were issued with original issue discount ("OID"). A holder of such notes
may be required for Federal income tax purposes to report interest income at a
rate that is higher than the stated interest rate and in advance of the receipt
of cash interest. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations - OID with
Respect to the New Debt Securities."
ADDITIONAL SENIOR SECURED DEBT; SUBORDINATION
The Company's senior secured note purchase agreement, the Senior
Facility, among RIHF, RII and RIH and certain funds and accounts advised or
managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), as recently
amended, allows RIHF to borrow up to $19,738,000 through the issuance of Senior
Facility Notes. The Company believes that the Senior Facility will serve as a
safeguard if an emergency arises from current operations, or serve as a source
of funds for a profitable investment opportunity. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial
Condition - Liquidity of RII." If borrowings are made under the Senior
Facility, the Company's debt burden would increase. The Senior Facility Notes
will be senior obligations issued by RIHF secured by, among other things, an
assignment of a promissory note of RIH (the "RIH Senior Facility Promissory
Note") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $19,738,000 payable in amounts
and at times necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Senior
Facility Notes. The RIH Senior Facility Promissory Note will be secured by a
lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel. The Senior Facility Notes will be guaranteed
by RIH (the "RIH Senior Facility Guaranty"). This guaranty also will be secured
by a lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel. RII also will issue a guaranty of the
payment of principal and interest on the Senior Facility Notes to be secured by
a pledge of the issued and outstanding stock of GGRI and RIHF. The Senior
Facility Notes also will be secured by a pledge by GGRI, which became RIH's
parent as a result of the Restructuring, of all issued and outstanding shares
of RIH.
The liens on the Resorts Casino Hotel securing the payment of the RIH
Promissory Note, the Mortgage Note Guaranty, the RIH Junior Promissory Note and
the Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty,
14
<PAGE> 18
respectively, will be subordinated to the liens securing the RIH Senior
Facility Promissory Note and the RIH Senior Facility Guaranty.
SECURITY FOR THE MORTGAGE NOTES AND THE JUNIOR MORTGAGE NOTES
If an Event of Default (as defined in either the indenture pursuant to
which the Senior Facility Notes may be issued or the indenture pursuant to
which the Mortgage Notes were issued (the "Mortgage Note Indenture") or the
Junior Mortgage Note Indenture) occurs, there can be no assurance that a
foreclosure on the Resorts Casino Hotel would produce proceeds in an amount
that would be sufficient to pay, first, the principal of, and accrued interest
on, the Senior Facility Notes (if any), second, the principal of, and accrued
interest on, the Mortgage Notes, and third, the principal of, and accrued
interest on, the Junior Mortgage Notes.
In any foreclosure sale of the Resorts Casino Hotel, the purchaser
would be required to be licensed to own the Resorts Casino Hotel under the New
Jersey Casino Control Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the
"Casino Control Act"). If the trustee for either the Mortgage Notes or the
Junior Mortgage Notes, as the case may be, were unable to, or chose not to,
sell the Resorts Casino Hotel, the trustee for either the Mortgage Notes or the
Junior Mortgage Notes, as the case may be, would be required to be licensed
under the Casino Control Act to operate the Resorts Casino Hotel. Such
requirements limit the number of potential bidders and may delay the sale of,
and may adversely affect the sales price for, the Resorts Casino Hotel. The
ability to take possession and dispose of the Resorts Casino Hotel upon
acceleration of the Senior Facility Notes, the Mortgage Notes and the Junior
Mortgage Notes is likely to be significantly impaired or delayed by applicable
bankruptcy law if a reorganization case were to be commenced by or against RII,
RIHF or RIH prior to the foreclosure upon or disposition of the Resorts Casino
Hotel by the trustee for either the Senior Facility Notes, the Mortgage Notes
or the Junior Mortgage Notes.
COMPETITION
General. The Company competes directly with other casino operators in
the Atlantic City market in which it operates, principally on the basis of
price, quality and customer service. Such competition has intensified in recent
years. See "Description of Business." The Company faces competition from cruise
lines, riverboat gambling, casinos located in Atlantic City, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut, Nevada, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas and other locations outside
the United States, from other forms of legalized gaming in New Jersey and in
its surrounding states such as lotteries, horse racing, jai-alai, dog racing
and other legalized gaming activities and from illegal wagering of
15
<PAGE> 19
various types. The Company also would compete with any facilities in
jurisdictions that may authorize casino gaming or other forms of wager in the
future. Legalized gambling in some form or another is now allowed in 48 states.
Since 1988, Indian tribes have negotiated at least 131 compacts with 23 states
to operate legalized gambling, not including bingo parlors. The large increase
in Indian reservation casinos, along with a rapid expansion of riverboat
gambling and other casino gambling, may adversely affect the Company's
operations, particularly if casino gaming were permitted in jurisdictions
adjacent to, or elsewhere in, New Jersey. Currently, casino gaming is not
allowed in other areas of New Jersey, but is under consideration in
Pennsylvania.
The Mashantucket Pequot Indians operate a casino facility in Ledyard,
Connecticut, located in the eastern portion of the state. The facility opened
in early 1991 with authorization to conduct table gaming operations only, and
in January 1993, slot machines were authorized. In July 1993, the Oneida
Indians opened a casino near Syracuse, New York. In October 1993 approval was
granted for the construction of a high-stakes gambling casino on the St. Regis
Mohawk reservation in New York State near the Canadian border, 50 miles
southwest of Montreal. The casinos in Connecticut and New York may have an
adverse effect on the Atlantic City casino industry.
Atlantic City. Competition in the Atlantic City casino/hotel market is
intense. Casino/hotels compete primarily on the basis of promotional
allowances, entertainment, advertising, services provided to patrons, caliber
of personnel, attractiveness of the hotel and casino areas and related
amenities and parking facilities. The Resorts Casino Hotel competes directly
with 11 casino/hotels in Atlantic City which, in the aggregate, contain
approximately 860,000 square feet of gaming area, including simulcast betting
and poker rooms and 8,500 hotel rooms. The total amount of gaming area of the
competing properties is expected to increase as the Showboat Casino Hotel (the
"Showboat Casino") has recently announced plans for a sizable addition to its
casino gaming floor. The Showboat Casino is located on approximately ten acres
of Boardwalk property owned by the Company and leased to ACS under the Showboat
Lease. Also, several competitors are expected to add racetrack simulcasting
rooms which are permitted to house authorized table games. Unlike casino gaming
floor area, which is regulated based on the number of guest rooms at a
particular property, the size of simulcasting rooms is not limited.
The Resorts Casino Hotel is located at the eastern end of the
Boardwalk adjacent to the Trump Taj Mahal Casino-Resort (the "Taj Mahal") and
the Showboat Casino. These three properties have a total of more than 2,700
hotel rooms and 295,000 square feet of gaming space in close proximity to each
other. A 28-foot wide enclosed pedestrian bridge between the Resorts Casino
Hotel and
16
<PAGE> 20
the Taj Mahal allows patrons of both hotels and guests for events being held at
the Resorts Casino Hotel and at the Taj Mahal to move between the facilities
without exposure to the weather. A similar enclosed pedestrian bridge connects
the Showboat Casino to the Taj Mahal, allowing patrons to walk under cover
among all three casino/hotels. The remaining nine Atlantic City casino/hotels
are located approximately one-half mile to one and one-half miles to the west
on the Boardwalk or in the Marina area of Atlantic City.
NEW JERSEY REGULATORY MATTERS
The ownership and operations of casino/hotel facilities and related
businesses in Atlantic City are the subject of strict state regulation under
the Casino Control Act. The Casino Control Act also imposes substantial
restrictions on the ownership of equity and debt securities of a company
holding a casino license, or an intermediary, holding company or affiliate of a
casino licensee. As a holding company of a casino licensee, RII is required to
register with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the "Casino Control
Commission") and obtain qualification approval by meeting essentially the same
requirements as a casino licensee.
A casino license initially is issued for a term of up to one year and
must be renewed annually by action of the Casino Control Commission for the
first two renewal periods succeeding the initial issuance of a casino license.
Thereafter, a casino license is renewed for a period of up to two years,
although the Casino Control Commission may reopen licensing hearings at any
time. A license is not transferable and may be conditioned, revoked or
suspended at any time upon proper action by the Casino Control Commission. The
Casino Control Act also requires an operations certificate which, in effect,
has a term coextensive with that of a casino license. On February 26, 1979, the
Casino Control Commission granted a casino license to RIH for the operation of
the Company's Atlantic City casino. In February 1994, RIH's license was renewed
until January 31, 1996. RIH's renewed license is subject to several conditions,
including: (i) the submission of periodic reports and immediate notification of
certain events related to RII's public debt securities to the Casino Control
Commission; (ii) submission of certain financial and other reports relative to
the Restructuring and certain other periodic financial reports to the Casino
Control Commission; (iii) obtaining approval of the Casino Control Commission
prior to making certain payments from RIH to related parties; and (iv)
obtaining approval of the Casino Control Commission prior to borrowing under
the Senior Facility.
There can be no assurance that the Company will receive or continue to
receive all authorizations needed for the operation of the Company's Atlantic
City casino and thereby be permitted,
17
<PAGE> 21
in the future, to continue to operate the Resorts Casino Hotel. Failure to
maintain a casino license would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
ability to make payments in respect of the Mortgage Notes and the Junior
Mortgage Notes. See "Description of Business -- Regulation and Gaming Taxes and
Fees".
POTENTIAL DISQUALIFICATION OF HOLDERS BY THE CASINO CONTROL COMMISSION
Additionally, the Casino Control Commission imposes certain
restrictions upon the ownership of securities issued by a corporation which
holds a casino license or is a holding, intermediary, subsidiary or affiliated
company of a corporate licensee. Among other restrictions, the sale,
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any security issued by a
corporation which holds a casino license is conditional and shall be
ineffective if disapproved by the Casino Control Commission. If the Casino
Control Commission finds that an individual owner or holder of any securities
of a corporate licensee or any holding or affiliated company must be qualified
and is not qualified under the Casino Control Act, the Casino Control
Commission has the right to propose any necessary remedial action. In the case
of corporate holding or affiliated companies whose securities are publicly
traded, the Casino Control Commission may require divestiture of the security
held by any disqualified holder who is required to be qualified under the
Casino Control Act.
If entities or persons required to be qualified refuse or fail to
qualify and fail to divest themselves of such security interest, the Casino
Control Commission has the right to take any necessary action, including the
revocation or suspension of the casino license. If any security holder of the
licensee or any holding or affiliated company who is required to be qualified
is found disqualified, it will be unlawful for the security holder: (i) to
receive any dividends or interest upon any such securities; (ii) to exercise,
directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred by such
securities; or (iii) to receive any remuneration in any form from the corporate
licensee for services rendered or otherwise. The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of RII provides that all securities of RII are
held subject to the condition that, if the holder thereof is found to be
disqualified by the Casino Control Commission pursuant to provisions of the
Casino Control Act, such holder must dispose of his or her interest in the
securities.
RISK OF HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRANSACTION
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture does not require RIHF to offer to
purchase the Junior Mortgage Notes upon occurrence of a change of control and
may not afford holders of the Junior Mortgage Notes protection in the event of
a highly leveraged
18
<PAGE> 22
transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction
involving the Company that may adversely affect holders the Junior Mortgage
Notes.
RESTRUCTURING OF SERIES NOTES
BACKGROUND
The outstanding principal amount of RII's Series Notes, which were
scheduled to mature on April 15, 1994, was $481,907,000. According to the
terms of the Series Notes, the interest due on the maturity date would have
been approximately $36,000,000 and RII's total obligation at maturity would
have amounted to approximately $518,000,000.
The Company's ability to pay the principal balance due on the Series
Notes at maturity was premised on certain assumptions included in RII's 1990
plan of reorganization (the "Old Plan"), the most significant of which was the
Company's ability to sell its former Paradise Island Resort & Casino, Ocean
Club Golf & Tennis Resort, Paradise Paradise Beach Resort and related assets,
all located on Paradise Island, The Bahamas, by December 31, 1991 at a price
ranging from $250,000,000 to $300,000,000. Other assumptions included the
Company's ability to generate substantial excess cash flow from its operations
and the Company's ability to sell its non-operating real estate holdings in
Atlantic City at acceptable prices. However, the recession in the United
States, and more specifically in the northeast sector, the acute competition in
Atlantic City and The Bahamas, the unexpected increase in competition from
other jurisdictions, the unforeseen difficulty in selling the Paradise Island
assets at the projected price, and the adverse impact of the conflict in the
Persian Gulf in early 1991 on transportation and tourism, all adversely
affected the Company's ability to realize the assumptions in the Old Plan.
Although the Company did not discontinue its efforts to sell the
Paradise Island assets, it experienced a very limited amount of interest by
prospective purchasers. The only offer the Company received for its Paradise
Island assets prior to the Restructuring was made in August 1991. That offer
would have netted the Company approximately $150,000,000 if the transaction had
been consummated. This amount was inadequate to retire sufficient Series Notes
at par so as to permit the Company's then remaining Atlantic City operations to
service the debt that would have remained outstanding. Subsequent discussions
with the prospective purchaser did not lead to a definitive agreement, and the
discussions terminated in early 1992.
As the possibilities of a sale of the Paradise Island assets at other
than a depressed price diminished and the Company was
19
<PAGE> 23
unable to generate substantial excess cash flow from its operations, the
principal amount of the Series Notes (originally $325,000,000) increased due to
a payment-in-kind interest feature of the Series Notes, which allowed the
Company to satisfy interest obligations on its Series Notes by the issuance of
additional Series Notes in lieu of making cash interest payments. Thus, it
became evident that in order for the Company to reduce its debt to a level that
could be supported by the cash flow reasonably anticipated on a continuing
basis, it had to develop financial alternatives other than, or in conjunction
with, a sale of its Paradise Island assets. The Company worked with its
financial advisers on developing and analyzing financial alternatives, as well
as developing a long-term financial plan, since late 1991. In this connection,
management of the Company, with the assistance of its legal and financial
advisers, commenced discussions with representatives of major holders of Series
Notes in the summer of 1992 in an effort to reach an agreement as to the terms
of a possible restructuring of the Series Notes. This process resulted in the
Restructuring described below.
RESTRUCTURING
On October 25, 1993, RII and three of its subsidiaries, RIH, RIHF and
P.I. Resorts Limited ("PIRL"), filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement (No.
33-50733) under the Securities Act. That registration statement described in
detail the Restructuring which RII and GGRI, RII's subsidiary which guaranteed
the Series Notes, proposed to accomplish through the Plan, which was proposed
and for which acceptances were solicited before commencing cases under chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code. This process is known as a "prepackaged bankruptcy."
On February l, 1994, after certain amendments, the registration statement was
declared effective. On February 5, 1994 the solicitation of acceptances of the
Plan commenced with the mailing of the Information Statement/Prospectus for
Solicitation of Votes on Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization, ballots and other
materials to holders of Series Notes, RII's Common Stock and stock options (the
"1990 Stock Options") issued pursuant to the RII Senior Management Stock Option
Plan (the "1990 Stock Option Plan"). Holders of Series Notes, Common Stock and
1990 Stock Options as of January 10, 1994 (the "Voting Record Date") were
entitled to vote on the Plan. The solicitation period ended on March 15, 1994.
The Company received the requisite acceptances for confirmation of the Plan and
filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court on March 21, 1994. The Plan was
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 22, 1994 and on May 3, 1994 (the
"Effective Date"), all conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were met or
waived and the Plan became effective.
Accordingly, on the Effective Date pursuant to the Order of the
Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan, all Series Notes were
20
<PAGE> 24
cancelled on the books of RII and were settled in consideration of the right to
participate in the distributions under the Plan. Except as the context may
otherwise indicate, all references in this Prospectus to principal amounts of
Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes, and shares of Class B Common Stock
and Common Stock outstanding, and to the ownership thereof, assume that the
distribution of such securities pursuant to the Plan occurred on the Effective
Date.
The Plan was the result of extensive negotiations among RII, Fidelity
and TCW Special Credits on behalf of various funds and accounts advised or
managed by it ("TCW"). Fidelity and TCW separately advise and manage various
funds and accounts that as of the Voting Record Date held in the aggregate
approximately 64% of the outstanding principal amount of Series Notes. In
addition, RII, Fidelity and TCW held discussions with Sun International
Investments Limited ("SIIL"), an unaffiliated company, regarding the purchase
of a 60% interest in the Company's Paradise Island assets (the "SIHL Sale")
through a subsidiary of SIIL, Sun International Hotels Limited ("SIHL"), formed
for that purpose. Pursuant to the Plan, Fidelity and TCW and their agents were
entitled to and have received reimbursement by the Company for reasonable fees
and expenses incurred in connection with the prepackaged bankruptcy effected
under the Plan.
Pursuant to the Plan the Company effected, among other things, the
exchange of the Series Notes for: (i) $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of Mortgage Notes; (ii) Units consisting of a total of $35,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes, and 35,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock; (iii) 40% of the Common Stock of RII on a fully diluted basis (excluding
1990 Stock Options and options to be issued under a newly implemented stock
option plan (the "1994 Stock Option Plan")); (iv) $65,000,000 in cash, plus
interest at an annual rate of 7.5% from January 1, 1994 through May 3, 1994,
the closing date of the SIHL Sale, plus 40% of the capital stock of SIHL,
representing the consideration received from the SIHL Sale; and (v) the
Company's Excess Cash, as defined in the Plan, which was in excess of
$30,000,000.
The Plan also provided for certain funds or accounts managed by
Fidelity to enter into the Senior Facility with RIHF which, subject to the
terms thereof, will allow RIHF to borrow up to $20,000,000 through the issuance
of the Senior Facility Notes. The Senior Facility was to be available for a
single borrowing during the one-year period from the Effective Date. If issued,
the Senior Facility Notes were to bear interest at 11% per year and mature in
2002. RIHF and Fidelity recently amended the Senior Facility, which amendment
(i) extended the borrowing period through May 2, 1996, (ii) increased the
interest rate to 11.75% and (iii) reduced the maximum amount of the potential
borrowing to $19,738,000. Market interest rates and other
21
<PAGE> 25
economic conditions, among other factors, will determine if it is appropriate
for the Company to draw on the Senior Facility. Any amount borrowed by RIHF
under the Senior Facility will be loaned by RIHF to RIH, and possibly by RIH to
RII, through intercompany transactions and will be used for working capital and
general corporate purposes. It is a condition of the Senior Facility that any
Senior Facility Notes issued thereunder be registered under the Securities Act
for public resale.
The following transactions, among others, also were effected in
connection with the consummation of the Plan: (i) the initial
post-Restructuring directors of RII were named to the RII Board of Directors
(see "Management of RII"); (ii) RII issued warrants, exercisable through May 3,
1998, to purchase 4,666,850 shares of RII Common Stock at $1.20 per share (the
"Griffin Warrants") to Griffin Group (see "Griffin Services Agreement" under
"Management of RII - Executive Compensation - Compensation Committee Interlocks
and Insider Participation"); (iii) termination of the 1990 Stock Option Plan
(although existing holders of 1990 Stock Options retained their options); and
(iv) implementation of the 1994 Stock Option Plan, which allows for the
granting of options to purchase up to 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of
RII.
PARADISE ISLAND ASSETS ACQUIRED BY SIHL
The Paradise Island assets acquired by SIHL in the SIHL Sale include
all the properties owned by the Company and its operations relating to its
former business in The Bahamas; principally, the Paradise Island Resort &
Casino, the Ocean Club Golf & Tennis Resort, and the Paradise Paradise Beach
Resort. The Paradise Island Resort & Casino includes two hotel towers totalling
1,186 guest rooms, the 30,000 square foot Paradise Island casino and related
facilities. The Ocean Club Golf & Tennis Resort is an exclusive 71-room hotel
with premium room rates. The Paradise Paradise Beach Resort is a 100-room hotel
complex that offers more moderately priced accommodations. The assets acquired
by SIHL include convention facilities, shops, restaurants, bars and lounges, an
18-hole golf course, tennis courts and swimming pools, approximately six miles
of beach and water frontage and other resort facilities on Paradise Island. A
total of 562 acres on Paradise Island, 218 of which were not used in the
Company's former operations and were available for future development, were
included in the SIHL Sale. Also, certain assets located in Florida and used in
connection with the Company's former Paradise Island operations were included
in the SIHL Sale. See "Pro Forma Financial Data."

Notes to Selected Financial Data
Note A: See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RII of
a description of the transactions that occurred in connection with the
Restructuring, which was effective May 3, 1994.
In 1990 the Company emerged from bankruptcy proceedings pursuant to
a plan of reorganization which was effective September 17, 1990. The
reorganization was accounted for using "fresh start" accounting. Accordingly,
all assets and liabilities were restated to reflect their estimated fair
values. The Company recorded the effects of the reorganization as of August
31, 1990. The 1990 operating information is presented separately for the
periods "Through August 31" and "From September 1" due to the new basis of
accounting which resulted from the application of fresh start accounting.
Changes in operations during the past five years include the
following: As part of the Restructuring, on May 3, 1994, the Company sold its
Paradise Island subsidiaries as well as assets of RII and certain U.S.
subsidiaries that support the Paradise Island operations, and the Company's
scheduled airline operation which serviced routes between South Florida and
Paradise Island was effectively disposed of. See "SIHL Sale" in Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's security consulting
service operations were sold in 1990 and 1991. The Company's amphibious
airline operation was sold in December 1990.
Note B: Earnings from operations in 1994 include a charge of $20,525,000
for the write-down of certain non-operating properties to net realizable value.
Operating revenues for 1994 include the sales of various parcels of land in
Atlantic City for net proceeds of $534,000. Earnings from operations include a
net loss of $99,000 on those sales.
Operating revenues for 1993 include the sale of a residential lot
in The Bahamas for net proceeds of $445,000. Earnings from operations for 1993
include a net gain of $224,000 on that sale.
Operating revenues for 1992 include the sale of a residential lot
in The Bahamas for net proceeds of $213,000. Earnings from operations for 1992
include a net loss of $17,000 on that sale.
Operating revenues for 1990 include the sales of various parcels of
vacant land in The Bahamas for net proceeds of $3,933,000. Earnings from
operations for 1990 include gains of $247,000 on those sales.
Note C: See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RII for
a discussion of this item in 1994, 1993 and 1992.
Note D: This item includes interest income, interest expense and
amortization of debt discounts.
Note E: For the years 1990 through 1992 the Company accounted for income
taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." There was no effect on the accompanying financial data nor was there a
cumulative effect of adopting this statement.
See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RII
for further discussion of income taxes for 1994, 1993 and 1992. The income tax
benefit reported in 1991 represents a federal income tax refund. No tax
provision was recorded for the two periods of 1990 due to the generation of net
operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes. The gain on
exchange of debt which is reflected in the extraordinary item in 1990 was not
taxable. A deferred tax benefit resulted from the elimination of basis
differences on the previously outstanding public debt, and is included in the
extraordinary item.
Note F: As described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements of RII, as part of the Restructuring the Company exchanged the
Series Notes for certain consideration. The difference between the carrying
value of the Series Notes of RII and the sum of the fair values of the items
exchanged therefor resulted in a gain of $186,000,000 which is reported as an
extraordinary item.
28
<PAGE> 32
In November 1994, RIH purchased 12,899 Units comprising $12,899,000
principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes and 12,899 shares of Class B Stock of
RII at a price of $6,740,000. The resulting gain of $4,008,000 was recorded as
an extraordinary item.
The exchange of securities in connection with the reorganization in
1990 resulted in a gain of $421,611,000 which, together with the related
deferred income tax benefit of $8,198,000, is reported as an extraordinary
item.
Note G: See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RII for
a discussion of per share data. For the period through August 31, 1990 there
was a sole shareholder of RII. Accordingly, no per share data is disclosed for
that period.
Note H: These items are presented net of unamortized discounts.

Note A: See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RIH for
a description of the transactions that occurred in connection with the
Restructuring, which was effective May 3, 1994.
In 1990 RII and certain of its subsidiaries emerged from bankruptcy
proceedings pursuant to a former plan of reorganization. This reorganization
was accounted for using "fresh start" accounting. Accordingly, all of RIH's
assets and liabilities were restated to reflect their estimated fair values and
its accumulated deficit was eliminated. RIH recorded the effects of the
reorganization as of August 31, 1990. The 1990 operating information is
presented separately for the periods "Through August 31" and "From September 1"
due to the new basis of accounting which resulted from the application of fresh
start accounting.
Note B: Recapitalization costs in 1992 through 1994 represent RIH's
allocated portion of RII's consolidated recapitalization costs.
Recapitalization costs in 1990 represent RIH's allocated portion of RII's
consolidated recapitalization costs as well as a net charge from restating
RIH's assets and liabilities to fair value in connection with "fresh-start"
accounting.
Note C: RIH's affiliated bad debt write-off resulted from the 1990
reorganization discussed above.
Note D: Includes interest income, interest expense and amortization of debt
discounts.
Note E: See Notes 1 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of
RIH for discussion of income taxes for 1994, 1993 and 1992.
In 1991 RIH had an agreement with RII to provide for federal and
state income taxes at a combined rate of 40%.
No tax provision was recorded for the two periods of 1990 due to the
generation of additional net operating losses for federal and state income tax
purposes during the period through August 31 which were sufficient to offset
taxable income generated during the period from September 1.
Note F: In November 1994, RIH purchased $12,899,000 principal amount of
Junior Mortgage Notes through the purchase of 12,899 Units (each $1,000
principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes is traded as a "Unit" along with one
share of RII's class B redeemable common stock) at a price of $6,740,000. The
resulting gain of $4,008,000 was recorded as an extraordinary item.
The extraordinary item in 1990 represents RIH's write-off of the
remaining balance of $17,335,000 of deferred debt issuance costs related to
certain debt securities that were cancelled pursuant to the 1990 plan of
reorganization.
Note G: These items are presented net of unamortized discounts.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF RII
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity
During 1994 the Company restructured its Series Notes pursuant to a
prepackaged bankruptcy plan as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements of RII. The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on
April 22, 1994 and became effective on May 3, 1994. Pursuant to the terms of
the Plan, the Company exchanged the Series Notes for, among other things: (i)
the proceeds of the SIHL Sale; (ii) Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes;
(iii) 40% of RII Common Stock on a
38
<PAGE> 42
fully diluted basis (excluding certain stock options) and (iv) Excess Cash.
The Restructuring resulted in a significant reduction in the Company's
unrestricted cash and equivalents due to the distribution of Excess Cash to
holders of the Series Notes. However, the Restructuring also resulted in a
significant decrease in the Company's long-term debt outstanding. The Company
believes that the Restructuring will improve its long term liquidity and
enhance its ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due.
At December 31, 1994 the Company's working capital amounted to
$17,673,000, including unrestricted cash and equivalents of $35,503,000. A
substantial amount of the unrestricted cash and equivalents is required for
day-to-day operations, including approximately $10,000,000 of currency and coin
on hand which amount varies by days of the week, holidays and seasons, as well
as additional cash balances necessary to meet current working capital needs.
Capital Expenditures and Other Uses of Funds
In recent years, capital expenditures have consistently been a
significant use of financial resources. See capital additions by geographic and
business segment in the table entitled "Identifiable Assets, Depreciation and
Capital Additions" below.
Capital additions for Resorts Casino Hotel in 1992 amounted to
$15,548,000 and included the conversion of the parking garage from valet to
self-parking, the construction of a covered walkway from the garage to the
Resorts Casino Hotel, the renovation of guest rooms, the purchase of slot
machines and improvements to the building's infrastructure. Capital additions
in 1993 amounted to $21,618,000, as the Company converted certain
back-of-the-house space into an 8,000 square foot simulcast facility which
houses five betting windows and four customer-operated terminals and
approximately 80 seats for simulcast betting operations, as well as poker
tables, various other table games and a full service bar. Also, certain casino
renovations were completed, 280 slot machines were purchased, most of which
replaced older models, and the VIP slot and table player lounge, "Club Griffin,"
opened. In addition, guest room refurbishment continued and a new centralized
mobile communications system was installed. Capital expenditures in 1994 at
Resorts Casino Hotel totalled $7,744,000 and included the purchase of 221 slot
machines, most of which replaced older models, the purchase of equipment and
minor renovations to accommodate keno, which commenced in June 1994, and
Caribbean stud poker, which commenced in November 1994, and various other
capital maintenance projects.
For the Paradise Island properties, which were disposed of in the SIHL
Sale, capital additions in 1992 totalled $4,317,000
39
<PAGE> 43
and included the installation of 37 new slot machines, expansion of the
Paradise Island Airport parking lot, upgrading existing computer equipment and
restaurant renovations. In 1993 the Company expended $3,747,000 which included
the purchase of 110 new slot machines as replacements for older models as well
as various maintenance projects. The expenditures of $1,958,000 in 1994 were
largely made on behalf of SIHL in accordance with the agreement for the SIHL
Sale.
In November 1994 RIH purchased 12,899 Units comprising $12,899,000
principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes and 12,899 shares of Class B Stock for
$6,740,000.
Another significant use of funds in recent years has been
recapitalization costs. Payments of legal, financial and other advisory fees
and costs amounted to $8,511,000, $8,095,000 and $2,460,000 in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively, in connection with the Restructuring of the Series Notes and
payments of $227,000, $237,000 and $2,954,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, for costs associated with the Company's 1990 plan of
reorganization.
Capital Resources and Other Sources of Funds
Since 1992, operations have been the most significant source of funds
to the Company.
In 1993 Merv Griffin, the Chairman of the Board of RII, made a partial
payment of $3,477,000 of principal on his note payable to RII (the "Griffin
Note"). As described in Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
of RII, the Griffin Note was then cancelled and a new note (the "Group Note")
from Griffin Group was substituted therefor. In 1994 pursuant to the Plan,
after certain fees the Company owed Griffin Group pursuant to its License and
Services Agreement (the "Griffin Services Agreement," also described in Note 10)
were applied to reduce the balance due under the Group Note, Griffin Group paid
the $3,008,000 balance due under the Group Note.
The Company has the $19,738,000 Senior Facility available for the
period ending May 2, 1996 should the Company have unforeseen cash needs. The
Company believes that the Senior Facility will serve as a safeguard if an
emergency arises from current operations, or serve as a source of funds for a
profitable investment opportunity. However, market interest rates and other
economic conditions, among other factors, will determine if it is appropriate
for the Company to draw on the Senior Facility.

<PAGE> 45
Casino/hotel - Atlantic City, New Jersey
Casino revenues from the Company's Atlantic City casino/hotel increased
by $6,366,000 in 1994 and by $10,336,000 in 1993 as the modest growth in the
Atlantic City casino industry continues. The addition of poker and simulcast
betting in June 1993 and keno in June 1994 has added to the industry's revenues,
though not significantly. The Company believes that increased competition from
other newly opened or expanded jurisdictions which permit gaming has slowed the
growth of gaming revenue in Atlantic City. Expansion of existing Atlantic City
casinos has also adversely affected the Company's operations. These factors
have significantly increased the Company's cost of obtaining additional revenue.
RIH's revenue from poker, simulcasting and keno combined increased by
$2,850,000 in 1994 and amounted to $5,745,000 in 1993, the first year any of
these games were offered. RIH's win from slots and table games increased by
$3,516,000 in 1994 and by $4,591,000 in 1993, as increased slot win more than
offset decreased table game win. RIH's increases in slot revenue, 6.0% in 1994
and 5.6% in 1993, exceeded those of the industry's, 3.7% in 1994 and 4.8% in
1993. In 1993 RIH's decrease in table game win, 3.3%, exceeded the industry's,
3.1%, and in 1994 RIH's table game win declined by 8.4% while the industry's
table game win increased slightly. In 1993 RIH's table game win decreased due
to a lower hold percentage (ratio of casino win to total amount of chips
purchased), while the amount wagered did not fluctuate significantly from the
prior year. Also in 1993, RIH reduced the number of table games in its casino
by a greater percentage than the reduction for the Atlantic City industry.
RIH's tables amounted to 7.8% and 7.2% of the industry's total number of tables
at the end of 1992 and 1993, respectively. In 1994, although RIH's hold
percentage remained lower than the industry's average, the decrease in RIH's
table game win was primarily attributable to a decrease in amount wagered. RIH's
tables amounted to 7.0% of the industry's total number of tables at the end of
1994.
RIH's results reflect the fact that slot players have, until recently,
been the prime focus of RIH's marketing efforts. In an effort to recapture some
of its lost market share of table game win, in the fall of 1994 RIH increased
its program of charter flights, in early 1995 the "Griffin Games" promotion was
expanded to include table players and RIH is planning to renovate its suites to
attract table patrons.
RIH's food and beverage revenues were down in 1994 primarily due to
reduced patronage at the "all-you-can-eat" Beverly Hills Buffet. During the
second quarter of 1994 prices at the Beverly Hills Buffet were increased as
management determined that this
42
<PAGE> 46
promotion was no longer cost effective at the prior price levels. Also, there
has been a general decline in the number of patrons served at all of RIH's food
and beverage facilities.
Although total occupancy was relatively flat in 1993 compared to 1992,
the number of complimentary rooms provided to casino patrons increased. The
reduced occupancy from rooms sold resulted in lower room revenues during 1993.
Casino/hotel - Paradise Island, The Bahamas
The Company's Paradise Island casino/hotel facilities were disposed of
in the SIHL Sale effective May 3, 1994. The Company's Paradise Island revenues
for 1994 reflect the Company's operation of the Paradise Island properties
through April 30, 1994.
In 1993 casino revenues decreased $3,177,000 primarily due to the effect
of a decrease in table game hold percentage from 16.5% in 1992 to 14.4% in 1993.
The Company's average table game hold percentage over the four years ended 1992
was 17.2%. The effect of this decrease was partially offset by the effect of an
increase in table game drop and improved slot win. Room revenues and food and
beverage revenues also were lower in 1993 due to lower occupancy, net of
complimentary rooms. Although total air arrivals to the Paradise Island - New
Providence Island area increased by 5% in 1993, the Company lost market share as
it did not continue to reduce room rates in response to significant rate
reductions by competitors.
Real Estate Related
Atlantic City real estate related revenues in 1994, 1993 and 1992
largely represent rent from ACS pursuant to the Showboat Lease. Such rent
receipts are restricted for the payment of interest on the Showboat Notes. See
Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RII. Atlantic City real
estate related revenues for 1994 also include $534,000 from the sale of certain
properties in Atlantic City.
The Paradise Island real estate related revenues in 1993 and 1992
resulted from the sale of residential lots on Paradise Island.
Airline
The Company's airline operation was effectively disposed of in the SIHL
Sale by means of an option/put agreement with a nominal option price. The only
aircraft owned by the Company was transferred to a subsidiary of SIHL as part of
the SIHL Sale. Pursuant to an agreement, the Company is to operate the airline
on behalf of SIHL for a small management fee for a period not to
43
<PAGE> 47
extend beyond July 1995. All profits earned or losses incurred in such
operation are to accrue to or be borne by SIHL. Airline revenues reflect
airline operations through April 30, 1994.
Airline revenues decreased by $681,000 in 1993 due primarily to a
decrease in passenger revenues during the fourth quarter of the year, as
competition from the south Florida-Nassau routes increased. In addition to the
new Jet Shuttle service that began operations earlier in that year, during the
fourth quarter of 1993 Trinity Air, a Bahamian carrier, commenced operations
offering jet service at lower fares than those offered by the Company on its
south Florida-Paradise Island routes and by other carriers on their south
Florida-Nassau routes. Also, from mid-November 1993 through early January 1994,
Bahamasair changed the aircraft used for its south Florida-Nassau flights to
jets with a larger seating capacity. Also affecting airline revenues in 1993
was a decrease in revenues from contract training, flight and maintenance work
for non-affiliated parties.

disposed of in the SIHL Sale.
Casino/hotel - Atlantic City, New Jersey
Casino, hotel and related operating results increased by $8,722,000 for
1994 due to the combination of the increased revenues described above and a net
decrease in operating expenses. The most significant decreases in operating
expenses in 1994 were in payroll and related costs ($2,500,000), food and
beverage costs ($1,400,000) and advertising expense ($900,000). Payroll and
related costs were down primarily due to decreased staffing levels. The
decrease in food and beverage costs resulted primarily from reduced patronage at
the Beverly Hills Buffet and, to a lesser extent, other food and beverage
facilities as described above. Advertising costs were down largely because 1993
included advertising costs associated with the introduction of the "cash-back"
program (a promotion which rewards slot players by giving cash back to patrons
based on their level of play) and the 15th anniversary celebration of Resorts
Casino Hotel. Favorable variances in these and other costs were partially
offset by increases in other expenses. The most significant increase was in
casino promotional costs ($2,500,000) due primarily to the "cash-back" program
noted above, which commenced in late April 1993, and increased cash giveaways to
bus patrons. Since the introduction of the "cash-back" program the Company has
reduced certain other cash giveaway promotional
45
<PAGE> 49
mailings. Another significant cost increase was in the accrual for performance
and incentive bonuses ($700,000).
Casino, hotel and related operating results decreased by $8,982,000 for
1993 as increased revenues described above were offset by a net increase in
operating expenses. The most significant increases in operating expenses were
casino promotional costs ($7,700,000), payroll and related costs ($6,000,000),
other casino operating expenses ($2,600,000), depreciation ($2,300,000), fees to
Griffin Group for services rendered under the Griffin Services Agreement
described in Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ($2,200,000)
and entertainers fees and accommodations ($1,000,000). The increase in casino
promotional costs was due primarily to the "cash-back" program. The majority of
the increase in payroll and related costs was due to merit and union increases
in salary and wage rates. The remaining increase in payroll and related costs
and a significant portion of the casino operating costs increase were associated
with the simulcast and poker facility which opened in June 1993. The increase
in entertainment costs resulted from a return to offering more headliner shows
in 1993. The most significant cost reductions in 1993 were in the performance
and incentive bonus ($3,300,000) and in food and beverage costs ($1,400,000).
For a discussion of competition in the Atlantic City casino/hotel
industry see "Competition" under "Description of Business."
Casino/hotel - Paradise Island, The Bahamas
The Company's Paradise Island casino/hotel facilities were disposed of
in the SIHL Sale effective May 3, 1994. The Paradise Island operating results
for 1994 reflect the Company's operation of the Paradise Island properties
through April 30, 1994.
Casino, hotel and related operating results declined by $4,387,000 for
1993 as decreased revenues discussed above were partially offset by a net
decrease in operating expenses. These operations suffered, generally, as
management's attention was diverted by the impending disposition of the Paradise
Island operations and the Company experienced the loss of certain key management
personnel.
The most significant reductions in operating expenses for 1993 were in
sales and marketing ($1,000,000), food and beverage and other direct costs
($900,000) and gaming taxes and fees ($700,000). The reduction in sales and
marketing costs resulted primarily from reductions in advertising during 1993.
Gaming taxes and fees declined relative to the decrease in casino revenue. A
reduction in occupancy resulted in decreased food, beverage and other direct
costs as well as reduced staffing levels and overall operating costs throughout
the facility. The most significant increase in operating expenses was the
subsidy of PIA ($3,329,000), the Company's former airline operation which
provides air service between south Florida and the Paradise Island Airport,
which subsidy increased as PIA's operating results declined. See "Airline"
below.

Real Estate Related
Atlantic City real estate related results for 1994 include a charge of
$20,525,000 for the write-down of certain non-operating properties to net
realizable value. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The comparison of earnings from Atlantic City real estate related activities is
also affected by annual increases in rental income under the Showboat Lease
described above and, in 1994, a loss of $99,000 on sales of certain properties
in Atlantic City.
The Paradise Island real estate related earnings represent the net gain
in 1993 and net loss in 1992 on the sales of residential lots on Paradise Island
mentioned above.
Airline
The Company's airline operation was effectively disposed of in the SIHL
Sale by means of an option/put agreement with a nominal option price. Pursuant
to an agreement, the Company is to operate the airline on behalf of SIHL for a
small management fee for a period not to extend beyond July 1995. All profits
earned or losses incurred in such operation are to accrue to or be borne by
SIHL. Operating results of the airline segment presented herein include airline
operations through April 30, 1994.
Airline operating results before the subsidy from the Paradise Island
casino/hotel segment decreased by $3,420,000 in 1993, which decrease resulted
primarily from an increase in maintenance costs and, to a lesser extent, the
decrease in passenger revenues discussed above.
Corporate Expense
The corporate expense segment includes credits for management fees
which RII charges certain subsidiaries based on three percent of their gross
revenues. The corresponding charges are included in the segments where the
respective subsidiary's operations are reported. Management fees charged to
RIH amounted to $9,082,000, $8,911,000 and $8,629,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Management fees charged to other subsidiaries totalled
$1,971,000, $4,635,000 and $5,284,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Corporate expense, net of management fees, decreased by $2,350,000 in
1994 due primarily to decreases in payroll and related costs associated with
certain executives whose service to the Company has terminated.
Corporate expense, net of management fees, decreased by $4,438,000 in
1993. This variance resulted primarily from charges recorded in 1992 of
approximately $2,900,000 in connection with the start-up, management and
subsequent termination of an agreement to manage a casino located in Black Hawk,
Colorado. Also affecting corporate expense for 1993 is a reduction in corporate
payroll and related costs ($800,000).

<PAGE> 51
The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has named a predecessor to
RII as a potentially responsible party in the Bay Drum hazardous waste site (the
"Site") in Tampa, Florida which the EPA has listed on the National Priorities
List. No formal action has commenced against RII and RII intends to dispute any
claims of this nature, if asserted. Although it may ultimately be determined
that RII is one of several hundred parties that are jointly and severally liable
for the costs of Site remediation and for damages to natural resources at the
Site caused by hazardous wastes, the extent of any such liability, if any,
cannot be determined at this time.
Loss on SIHL Sale
See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RII for a
description of the SIHL Sale.
Other Income (Deductions)
The decreases in interest expense and amortization of debt discounts for
1994 are attributable to the Restructuring, which resulted in a significant
decrease in the principal amount of debt outstanding as well as a reduction in
interest rates. Also affecting the comparison of these expenses is the fact
that the Company stopped accruing interest and amortizing debt discounts on the
Series Notes as of March 21, 1994, the date the Company entered bankruptcy
proceedings, while the accrual of interest and amortization of discounts on the
Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes did not start until May 3, 1994. See
Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RII for a description of
these new debt securities.
The increase in interest expense in 1993 was due to a combination of (i)
an increase in the stated interest rates of the Series Notes, (ii) increased
principal amounts of debt outstanding due to payment-in-kind interest on the
Series Notes and (iii) changes in the market value of the Series Notes as,
through October 15, 1993, the Company recorded interest at the estimated market
value of additional Series Notes to be issued in satisfaction of its interest
obligations. Subsequent to October 15, 1993 the Company's option to satisfy
interest on the Series Notes through the issuance of additional Series Notes was
no longer available. Thus, effective October 16, 1993 the Company began
recording interest expense on the Series Notes at the stated rate in lieu of a
discounted rate to reflect market value. Amortization of debt discounts
increased in 1993 primarily due to the additional discounts associated with
Series Notes issued in satisfaction of interest obligations.
Recapitalization costs in 1994, 1993 and 1992 include costs of financial
advisers retained to assist in the development and analysis of financial
alternatives which resulted in the Restructuring and other legal and advisory
fees incurred in connection with such Restructuring. Also, in the fourth
quarter of 1994 the Company recorded credits of $3,256,000 resulting from the
reversal of restructuring reserves provided in connection with the Company's
1990 plan of reorganization.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF RIH
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity
At December 31, 1994 RIH had working capital of $10,578,000 including
$26,876,000 of unrestricted cash and equivalents. The day-to-day operations of
RIH require approximately $10,000,000 of currency and coin on hand which amount
varies by days of the week, holidays and seasons. Additional cash balances are
necessary to meet current working capital needs.
As described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of
RIH, RII recently restructured its Series Notes pursuant to a prepackaged
bankruptcy plan. The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 22,
1994 and became effective on May 3, 1994. Pursuant to the Plan, through its
affiliated notes payable to RIHF, RIH will be the principal source of funds for
servicing the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes, as well as the
Senior Facility Notes to the extent issued. Annual interest expense on the
Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes, after the reduction for interest
on the $12,899,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes purchased by RIH
in November 1994, will total approximately $16,300,000. Based on projected
operating results, management believes that RIH's liquidity will continue to be
satisfactory; however, management can give no assurances as to RIH's future
liquidity due to the possibility of unanticipated events and circumstances
inherent in any projections.
Capital Expenditures and Other Uses of Funds
In recent years, capital expenditures have consistently been a
significant use of financial resources by RIH. Capital additions for Resorts
Casino Hotel in 1992 amounted to $15,548,000 and included the conversion of the
parking garage from valet to self-parking, the construction of a covered
walkway from the garage to the Resorts Casino Hotel, the renovation of guest
rooms, the purchase of slot machines and improvements to the building's
infrastructure. Capital additions in 1993 amounted to $21,618,000, as RIH
converted certain back-of-the-house space into an 8,000 square foot simulcast
facility which houses five betting windows and four customer-operated terminals
and approximately 80 seats for simulcast betting operations, as well as poker
tables, various other table games and a full service bar. Also, certain casino
renovations were completed, 280 slot machines were purchased, most of which
replaced older models, and the VIP slot and table player lounge, "Club
Griffin," opened. In addition, guest room refurbishment continued and a new
centralized mobile
52
<PAGE> 56
communications system was installed. Capital expenditures in 1994 at Resorts
Casino Hotel totalled $7,744,000 and included the purchase of 221 slot
machines, most of which replaced older models, the purchase of equipment and
minor renovations to accommodate keno, which commenced in June 1994, and
Caribbean stud poker, which commenced in November 1994, and various other
capital maintenance projects.
Pursuant to the Restructuring, RIH distributed all of its cash and cash
equivalents in excess of $15,000,000 as of the Effective Date, which amounted
to $12,262,000, to GGRI. GGRI then distributed such cash to RII so that RII,
in turn, could distribute Excess Cash to holders of Series Notes.
In November 1994 RIH purchased $12,899,000 principal amount of Junior
Mortgage Notes through the purchase of 12,899 Units at a price of $6,740,000.
Deposits made with the CRDA as required by the Casino Control Act,
repayments of debt under capitalized lease obligations and payment to RII of
RIH's allocable portion of RII's consolidated recapitalization costs have been
other uses of funds by RIH in the periods presented.
Capital Resources and Other Sources of Funds
Since 1992, operations have been the most significant source of funds
to RIH.
RIHF has the $19,738,000 Senior Facility available for the period
ending May 2, 1996 should RIH or RII have unforeseen cash needs. Management
believes that the Senior Facility will serve as a safeguard if an emergency
arises from current operations, or serve as a source of funds for a profitable
investment opportunity. However, market interest rates and other economic
conditions, among other factors, will determine if it is appropriate for RIHF
to draw on the Senior Facility.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
RIH operates in one business segment. Following is a discussion of the
results of operations for 1994 compared to 1993 and 1993 compared to 1992. The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements included herein.
Revenues
Casino revenues increased by $6,366,000 in 1994 and by $10,336,000 in
1993 as the modest growth in the Atlantic City casino industry continues. The
addition of poker and simulcast betting in June 1993 and keno in June 1994 has
added to the
53
<PAGE> 57
industry's revenues, though not significantly. RIH believes that increased
competition from other newly opened or expanded jurisdictions which permit
gaming has slowed the growth of gaming revenue in Atlantic City. Expansion of
existing Atlantic City casinos has also adversely affected RIH's operations.
These factors have significantly increased RIH's cost of obtaining additional
revenue.
RIH's revenue from poker, simulcasting and keno combined increased by
$2,850,000 in 1994 and amounted to $5,745,000 in 1993, the first year any of
these games were offered. RIH's win from slots and table games increased by
$3,516,000 in 1994 and by $4,591,000 in 1993, as increased slot win more than
offset decreased table game win. RIH's increases in slot revenue, 6.0% in 1994
and 5.6% in 1993, exceeded those of the industry's, 3.7% in 1994 and 4.8% in
1993. In 1993 RIH's decrease in table game win, 3.3%, exceeded the industry's,
3.1%, and in 1994 RIH's table game win declined by 8.4% while the industry's
table game win increased slightly. In 1993 RIH's table game win decreased due
to a lower hold percentage (ratio of casino win to total amount of chips
purchased), while the amount wagered did not fluctuate significantly from the
prior year. Also in 1993, RIH reduced the number of table games in its casino
by a greater percentage than the reduction for the Atlantic City industry.
RIH's tables amounted to 7.8% and 7.2% of the industry's total number of tables
at the end of 1992 and 1993, respectively. In 1994, although RIH's hold
percentage remained lower than the industry's average, the decrease in RIH's
table game win was primarily attributable to a decrease in amount wagered.
RIH's tables amounted to 7.0% of the industry's total number of tables at the
end of 1994.
RIH's results reflect the fact that slot players have, until recently,
been the prime focus of RIH's marketing efforts. In an effort to recapture
some of its lost market share of table game win, in the fall of 1994 RIH
increased its program of charter flights, in early 1995 the "Griffin Games"
promotion was expanded to include table players and RIH is planning to renovate
its suites to attract table patrons.
RIH's food and beverage revenues were down in 1994 primarily due to
reduced patronage at the "all-you-can-eat" Beverly Hills Buffet. During the
second quarter of 1994 prices at the Beverly Hills Buffet were increased as
management determined that this promotion was no longer cost effective at the
prior price levels. Also, there has been a general decline in the number of
patrons served at all of RIH's food and beverage facilities.
Although total occupancy was relatively flat in 1993 compared to 1992,
the number of complimentary rooms provided to casino patrons increased. The
reduced occupancy from rooms sold resulted in lower room revenues during 1993.
54
<PAGE> 58
Earnings from Operations
Casino, hotel and related operating results increased by $8,723,000 for
1994 due to the combination of the increased revenues described above and a net
decrease in operating expenses. The most significant decreases in operating
expenses in 1994 were in payroll and related costs ($2,500,000), food and
beverage costs ($1,400,000) and advertising expense ($900,000). Payroll and
related costs were down primarily due to decreased staffing levels. The
decrease in food and beverage costs resulted primarily from reduced patronage
at the Beverly Hills Buffet and, to a lesser extent, other food and beverage
facilities as described above. Advertising costs were down largely because
1993 included advertising costs associated with the introduction of the
"cash-back" program (a promotion which rewards slot players by giving cash back
to patrons based on their level of play) and the 15th anniversary celebration
of Resorts Casino Hotel. Favorable variances in these and other costs were
partially offset by increases in other expenses. The most significant increase
was in casino promotional costs ($2,500,000) due primarily to the "cash-back"
program noted above, which commenced in late April 1993, and increased cash
giveaways to bus patrons. Since the introduction of the "cash- back" program
RIH has reduced certain other cash giveaway promotional mailings. Another
significant cost increase was in the accrual for performance and incentive
bonuses ($700,000).
Casino, hotel and related operating results decreased by $8,981,000 for
1993 as increased revenues described above were offset by a net increase in
operating expenses. The most significant increases in operating expenses were
casino promotional costs ($7,700,000), payroll and related costs ($6,000,000),
other casino operating expenses ($2,600,000), depreciation ($2,300,000), fees
to The Griffin Group, Inc., a corporation controlled by Merv Griffin, for
services rendered under the Griffin Services Agreement described in Note 8 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ($2,200,000) and entertainers fees
and accommodations ($1,000,000). The increase in casino promotional costs was
due primarily to the "cash-back" program. The majority of the increase in
payroll and related costs was due to merit and union increases in salary and
wage rates. The remaining increase in payroll and related costs and a
significant portion of the casino operating costs increase were associated with
the simulcast and poker facility which opened in June 1993. The increase in
entertainment costs resulted from a return to offering more headliner shows in
1993. The most significant cost reductions in 1993 were in the performance and
incentive bonus ($3,300,000) and in food and beverage costs ($1,400,000).

industry see "Competition" under "Description of Business."
Other Income (Deductions)
Through the Effective Date, RIH's interest income had been largely
attributable to the $50,000,000 note receivable from RIB, a former Bahamian
affiliate. This note was cancelled as part of the Restructuring.
RIH's interest expense before the Restructuring was limited to minor
amounts incurred on capitalized lease obligations. After the Restructuring RIH
is to bear, indirectly, the interest on the Mortgage Notes, the Junior Mortgage
Notes and, to the extent issued, the Senior Facility Notes, through notes
payable to RIHF, the terms of which mirror the terms of such debt of RIHF. See
Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of RIH for the terms of
such new debt.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF RIHF
RIHF's only assets consist of promissory notes issued by RIH and its
sole liabilities are the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes. The
terms of the Promissory Notes are identical to the terms of the Mortgage Notes
and the Junior Mortgage Notes. Thus, RIHF is merely a conduit by which the
Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes are serviced by RIH. There will
be no change in its Balance Sheet other than the amount of debt discount will
decrease due to its amortization and its Statement of Operations will continue
to be break-even.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
RII is a holding company which, through its subsidiary, RIH, is
principally engaged in the ownership and operation of the Resorts Casino Hotel
in Atlantic City, New Jersey. RII was incorporated in Delaware in 1958. It has
no significant operations other than those represented by RIH, the owner and
operator of the Resorts Casino Hotel. RIH was incorporated in New Jersey in
1903. Prior to the Restructuring, the Company had significant casino, hotel and
resort assets and operations in The Bahamas on Paradise Island. See
"Restructuring of Series Notes - Paradise Island Assets Acquired by SIHL."
Approximately 10 acres of Boardwalk property owned by the Company is
leased to ACS under the 99-year net lease, the Showboat Lease. All lease
payments due under the Showboat Lease
56
<PAGE> 60
directly service the Company's interest obligations under the Showboat Notes.
The leased acreage is the site of the Showboat Casino which is operated by ACS.
The Company also owns other real estate in the Atlantic City area, most of
which consists of vacant land.
Casino operations are conducted under a casino license which is subject
to periodic review and renewal by action of the Casino Control Commission. The
Company's current license was renewed in February 1994 through January 31, 1996
and is subject to certain financial reporting and other conditions. See
"Regulation and Gaming Taxes and Fees" below.
RII's recent bankruptcy proceedings, including the Restructuring of
RII's Series Notes and the sale of the Company's former Paradise Island
properties, are discussed under "Restructuring of Series Notes."
GAMING FACILITIES
The Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, has a 60,000
square foot casino and a racetrack simulcast betting and poker area of
approximately 8,000 square feet. At December 31, 1994, these gaming areas
contained 45 blackjack tables, 18 poker tables, 11 dice tables, 9 roulette
tables, 4 Caribbean stud poker tables, 3 baccarat tables, 2 mini-baccarat
tables, 2 pai gow poker tables, 1 big six wheel, 1 sic bo table, 1,944 slot
machines, 5 betting windows and 4 customer-operated terminals for race book,
and a keno parlor. As discussed below, Resorts Casino Hotel has recently
received approval from the Casino Control Commission to expand its casino by an
additional 10,000 square feet and expects to complete such expansion by
mid-1995.
During 1994, the Company had total gaming revenues from its Atlantic
City casino of $250,482,000. This compares to total gaming revenues of
$244,116,000 for 1993 and $233,780,000 for 1992. The Company has offered
simulcast betting and poker since June 1993, keno since June 1994 and Caribbean
stud poker since November 1994.
Casino gaming in Atlantic City is highly competitive and is strictly
regulated under the Casino Control Act, which affects virtually all aspects of
the Company's Atlantic City casino operations. See "Competition" and
"Regulation and Gaming Taxes and Fees" below.
Resort and Hotel Facilities
The Resorts Casino Hotel commenced operations in May 1978 and was the
first casino/hotel opened in Atlantic City. This was accomplished by the
conversion of the former Haddon Hall Hotel, a classic hotel structure
originally built in the early 1900's,
57
<PAGE> 61
into a casino/hotel. It is situated on approximately seven acres of land with
approximately 310 feet of Boardwalk frontage overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The Resorts Casino Hotel consists of two hotel towers, the 15-story East Tower
and the nine-story North Tower. In addition to the casino facilities described
above, the casino/hotel complex includes approximately 670 guest rooms and
suites, the 1,400-seat Superstar Theater, eight restaurants, two cocktail and
entertainment lounges, a VIP slot and table player lounge, an indoor swimming
pool and health club, and retail stores. The complex also has approximately
50,000 square feet of convention facilities, including eight large meeting
rooms and a 16,000 square foot ballroom.
The Company owns a garage that is connected to the Resorts Casino Hotel
by a covered walkway. This garage is used for patrons' self parking and
accommodates approximately 700 vehicles. The Company also offers valet parking
at nearby, uncovered leased lots that provide space for approximately 600 cars
and has an additional leased lot which provides uncovered self-parking for
approximately 170 cars.
Consistent with industry practice, the Company reserves a portion of
its hotel rooms and suites as complimentary accommodations for high-level
casino wagerers. For 1994, 1993 and 1992 the average occupancy rates,
including complimentary rooms, which were primarily provided to casino patrons,
were 91%, 92% and 93%, respectively. The average occupancy rate and weighted
average daily room rental, excluding complimentary rooms, were 47% and $64,
respectively, for 1994. This compares with 47% and $62, respectively, for
1993, and 57% and $61, respectively, for 1992.
Capital Improvements
The Company has pursued a major capital improvements program since 1989
in order to compete more effectively in the Atlantic City market. During these
six years capital additions at Resorts Casino Hotel exceeded $109,000,000. In
1994 the Company purchased 221 slot machines, most of which replaced older
models, and completed various capital maintenance projects. In 1993 the
Company converted certain back-of-the-house space into a simulcast facility,
which houses five betting windows and four customer-operated terminals and
approximately 80 seats for simulcast betting operations, as well as 18 poker
tables, various other table games and a bar with food service. Also, certain
casino renovations were completed, 280 slot machines were purchased, most of
which replaced older models, and the VIP slot and table player lounge, "Club
Griffin," opened. In addition, guest room refurbishments continued and a new
centralized mobile communications system was installed. During the years 1989
through 1992 improvements included refurbishment of rooms in both the East
Tower and the North Tower, casino renovations, purchase
58
<PAGE> 62
of new slot machines and gaming equipment, conversion of the parking garage
from valet to self-parking, restaurant remodeling and upgrading, renovation of
public areas, installation of new computer equipment and management information
systems, as well as improvements to the infrastructure such as elevators, air
conditioning, and exterior renovations and painting. As the major capital
improvements program was completed in 1993, management expects capital
expenditures in 1995, as in 1994, to be largely related to maintenance of
existing facilities. Such capital costs of a recurring nature are planned to
approximate $10,000,000 in 1995. It is currently estimated that an additional
$1,500,000 will be required to enlarge the Company's gaming area by an
additional 10,000 square feet, which expansion was recently approved by the
Casino Control Commission. The Company also estimates that slot machines for
this additional gaming space will cost approximately $2,500,000; the Company
will explore leasing, rather than purchasing, these slot machines.
Marketing
The Company continues to take advantage of the celebrity status of Merv
Griffin, who is actively engaged in the marketing of the Resorts Casino Hotel.
Mr. Griffin, who is Chairman of the Board of RII, is featured in television
commercials and in print advertisements. Mr. Griffin also appeared live at the
Resorts Casino Hotel in "Merv Griffin's New Year's Eve Special 1994" which was
broadcast nationwide. Merv Griffin's New Year's Eve Special has been produced
at the Resorts Casino Hotel since 1991. Mr. Griffin is to continue to
participate in the operations and marketing of the Resorts Casino Hotel through
the term of the Griffin Services Agreement. See "Griffin Services Agreement"
under "Management of RII - Executive Compensation - Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation."
The Company's marketing strategy is designed to enhance the appeal of
the Resorts Casino Hotel to the mid and premium-level slot and table game
players, although slot players have been, in recent years, the primary focus of
the Company's marketing efforts. In 1993 the Company introduced the
"cash-back" program which rewards slot players with cash refunds or
complimentaries based on their volume of play and expanded and upgraded
"Hollywood Hills," its high-limit slot area. In the fall of 1994, the Company
increased its program of charter flights in an effort to recapture some of its
lost market share in table win. Also, in the fall of 1994, the Company
introduced the "Griffin Games," created by Merv Griffin, whereby slot patrons
are chosen at random to participate in daily tournaments with the daily winners
eventually participating in a $100,000 "winners tournament." In January 1995
the "Griffin Games" were extended to those patrons playing table games and, to
further attract premium players, the Company has budgeted in its 1995 capital
59
<PAGE> 63
expenditure program approximately $800,000 to renovate its suites. The Company
also has a VIP slot and table player lounge, "Club Griffin," which serves
complimentary food and beverages. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Company
continues to rely heavily on its bus program to produce low to middle level
slot players.
New Convention Center
In January 1992, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation that
authorized a financing plan for the construction of a new convention center to
be located on a 30-acre site next to the Atlantic City train station at the
base of the Atlantic City Expressway. The Company understands that the new
convention center will have 500,000 square feet of exhibit space and an
additional 104,000 square feet of meeting rooms. Construction of the new
convention center began in early 1993 and it is scheduled to be completed in
early 1997.
The convention center is part of a broader plan that includes an
additional expansion of the Atlantic City International Airport, the
transformation of the main entryway into Atlantic City into a new corridor,
revitalizing the Boardwalk's commercial district by means of a themed retail
area, and the construction of new hotel rooms. Officials have commented upon
the need for improved commercial air service into Atlantic City as a factor in
the success of the proposed convention center. See further discussion under
"Transportation Facilities" below. The corridor project presently includes
plans for a new convention hotel. In addition, to further spur construction of
new hotel rooms and renovation of substandard hotel rooms into deluxe
accommodations to support the new convention center, up to a total of
$100,000,000 has been set aside by the Casino Reinvestment Development
Authority (the "CRDA"), a public authority created under the Casino Control
Act, to aid in financing such projects. To date, the CRDA has approved the
expansion projects submitted by five casino/hotels which are to receive CRDA
financing approximating $84,000,000 and result in the construction of
approximately 2,100 hotel rooms.
Although these developments are viewed as positive and favorable to the
future prospects of the Atlantic City gaming industry, the Company, at this
point, can make no representations as to whether, or to what extent, its
operations may be improved by the completion of the new convention center, the
proposed airport expansion projects and the proposed increase in number of
hotel rooms in the area.
Transportation Facilities
The lack of an adequate transportation infrastructure in the Atlantic
City area continues to negatively affect the industry's
60
<PAGE> 64
ability to attract patrons from outside a core geographic area. In 1989,
Amtrak express rail service to Atlantic City commenced from Philadelphia, New
York, Washington and other major cities in the northeast. This service was
expected to improve access to Atlantic City and expand the geographic size of
the Atlantic City casino industry's marketing base. Recently, Amtrak announced
that express rail service to Atlantic City will be discontinued in April 1995.
Also, in 1989 the terminal at the Atlantic City International Airport
(located approximately 12 miles from Atlantic City) was expanded to handle
additional air carriers and large passenger jets, but scheduled service to that
airport from major cities by national air carriers remains extremely limited.
In order to attract increased air service, expansion of the existing terminal
is currently in progress. This construction, which will double the size of the
terminal, is expected to be completed in the fall of 1995. This project
includes a new second level for the terminal, additional departure gates, an
improved baggage system and sheltered walkways connecting the terminal and
planes. Furthermore, in early 1995 the South Jersey Transportation Authority
submitted a comprehensive master plan for the future development of the airport
which plan is currently being reviewed in public hearings. The plan predicts a
threefold increase in passenger volume in the next 20 years and recommends
$155,000,000 of improvements.
Since the inception of gaming in Atlantic City there has been no
significant change in the industry's marketing base or in the principal means
of transportation to Atlantic City, which continues to be automobile and bus.
The resulting geographic limitations and traffic congestion have restricted
Atlantic City's growth as a major destination resort.
The Company continues to utilize day-trip bus programs. A
non-exclusive easement enables the Resorts Casino Hotel to utilize a bus tunnel
under the adjacent Trump Taj Mahal Casino-Resort (the "Taj Mahal"), which
connects Pennsylvania and Virginia Avenues, and a service road exit from the
bus tunnel. This reduces congestion around the Pennsylvania Avenue bus entrance
to the Resorts Casino Hotel. To comfortably accommodate its bus patrons, the
Company has a waiting facility which is located indoors, adjacent to the
casino, and offers various amenities.
Competition
Competition in the Atlantic City casino/hotel industry is intense.
Casino/hotels compete primarily on the basis of promotional allowances,
entertainment, advertising, services provided to patrons, caliber of personnel,
attractiveness of the hotel and casino areas and related amenities, and parking
61
<PAGE> 65
facilities. The Resorts Casino Hotel competes directly with 11 casino/hotels
in Atlantic City which, in the aggregate, contain approximately 860,000 square
feet of gaming area, including simulcast betting and poker rooms, and 8,500
hotel rooms. These amounts reflect increases of approximately 74,000 square
feet of gaming area and 300 hotel rooms in 1994. Significant additional
expansion is expected in 1995 due to the previously discussed projects to be
financed by the CRDA as well as the recently passed amendments to the Casino
Control Act which amendments will permit three existing casino/hotels, in
addition to the Company, to increase their gaming area without adding
additional hotel rooms. As previously noted, the Company has received approval
from the Casino Control Commission to expand its casino by 10,000 square feet
and the Company anticipates completion of its expansion in mid-1995.
The Resorts Casino Hotel is located at the eastern end of the Boardwalk
adjacent to the Taj Mahal, which is next to the Showboat. These three
properties have a total of more than 2,700 hotel rooms and approximately
295,000 square feet of gaming space in close proximity to each other. A
28-foot wide enclosed pedestrian bridge between the Resorts Casino Hotel and
the Taj Mahal allows patrons of both hotels and guests for events being held at
the Resorts Casino Hotel and at the Taj Mahal to move between the facilities
without exposure to the weather. A similar enclosed pedestrian bridge connects
the Showboat to the Taj Mahal, allowing patrons to walk under cover among all
three casino/hotels. The remaining nine Atlantic City casino/hotels are
located approximately one-half mile to one and one-half miles to the west on
the Boardwalk or in the Marina area of Atlantic City.
All Atlantic City casino/hotels compete for customers with
casino/hotels located in Nevada, and in certain foreign resort areas, including
The Bahamas, particularly with respect to destination-oriented business,
including conventions. The Las Vegas casino/hotel industry benefits from a
favorable climate and nearby airport facilities that serve most major domestic
carriers.
Atlantic City casino/hotels also compete with casinos located in other
U.S. jurisdictions, particularly those close to New Jersey. Colorado,
Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and South Dakota have
legalized, and several other states, including Pennsylvania, are currently
considering legalizing limited land-based and riverboat casino gaming.
Additionally, certain gaming operations are conducted or have been proposed on
Federal Indian reservations in a number of states. The gaming operation which
competes directly with the Atlantic City casino/hotels is on an Indian
reservation in Connecticut which currently operates more than 3,800 slot
machines and whose slot revenue in 1994 exceeded $470,000,000,
62
<PAGE> 66
which is almost twice the slot revenue of the largest casino/hotel in Atlantic
City. In July 1993 the Oneida Indians opened a casino near Syracuse, New York.
Other Indian reservation projects have been announced in the states of New
York, Connecticut and Rhode Island. This rapid expansion of casino gaming,
particularly that which has been or may be introduced into jurisdictions in
close proximity to Atlantic City, may adversely affect the Company's operations
as well as the Atlantic City gaming industry.
Gaming Credit Policy
Credit is extended to selected gaming customers primarily in order to
compete with other casino/hotels in Atlantic City which also extend credit to
customers. Credit play represented 21% of table game volume at the Resorts
Casino Hotel in 1994, 24% in 1993 and 23% in 1992. RIH's gaming receivables,
net of allowance for uncollectible amounts, were $4,216,000, $3,618,000 and
$4,503,000 as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The
collectibility of gaming receivables has an effect on results of operations,
and management believes that overall collections have been satisfactory.
Atlantic City gaming debts are enforceable under the laws of New Jersey and
certain other states, although it is not clear whether other states will honor
this policy or enforce judgments rendered by the courts of New Jersey with
respect to such debts.
Showboat Lease
The Showboat owned by ACS has 800 guest rooms, a 60-lane bowling
center, an 80,000 square foot casino and a 15,000 square foot simulcast betting
and poker room. The Showboat is situated on approximately 10 acres which are
owned by the Company and leased to ACS pursuant to the Showboat Lease, a
99-year net lease dated October 26, 1983, as amended. The Showboat Lease
provided for an initial annual rental, which commenced in March 1987, of
$6,340,000, subject to annual adjustment based upon changes in the consumer
price index. The annual rental was $8,326,000 for the 1994 lease year and is
expected to approximate $8,500,000 for the 1995 lease year.
The Company's First Mortgage Non-Recourse Pass-Through Notes due June
30, 2000 (the "Showboat Notes") are secured and serviced by the Showboat Lease,
and all lease payments are made to the Indenture Trustee for the Showboat Notes
to meet the Company's interest obligations under those notes. See Note 7 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Showboat Lease provides that if, under New Jersey law, the Company
is prohibited from acting as lessor, including any finding by the Casino
Control Commission that the Company is unsuitable, the Company must appoint a
trustee, acceptable to the
63
<PAGE> 67
Casino Control Commission, to act for the Company and collect all lease
payments on the Company's behalf. In that event, the trustee also must proceed
to sell the Company's interest in the Showboat Lease and the leased property to
a buyer qualified to act as lessor. The net proceeds of any such sale,
together with any unremitted rentals, would be paid to the Company. Also, if
the Company is no longer able to act as a lessor, as aforesaid, ACS would have
an option to acquire ownership of the 10 acres leased from the Company. The
option would be exercisable during a period of not more than three months. The
purchase price would be an amount equal to the greater of $66,000,000 or the
fair market value of the leased acreage, as defined, but in no event may the
purchase price be more than 11 times the rent being paid by ACS in the year in
which the option may become effective. If the fair market value is not
ascertained within the time required by the Casino Control Commission, then the
purchase price would be the lesser of $66,000,000 or 11 times the rent being
paid by ACS in the year the option may become effective. In the event of any
sale of the leased property under the circumstances described above, the
disposition of the proceeds of such sale would be governed by the indenture for
the Showboat Notes.
Under the Casino Control Act, both the Company and ACS, because of
their lessor-lessee relationship, are jointly and severally liable for the acts
of the other with respect to any violations of the Casino Control Act by the
other. In order to limit the potential liability that could result from this
provision, ACS, its parent, Ocean Showboat, Inc., and the Company have entered
into an indemnity agreement pursuant to which they agree to indemnify each
other from all liabilities and losses which may arise as a result of acts of
the other party that violate the Casino Control Act. The Casino Control
Commission could determine, however, that the party seeking indemnification is
not entitled to, or is barred from, such indemnification.
Security Controls
Gaming at the Resorts Casino Hotel is conducted by Company trained and
supervised personnel. Prior to employment, all casino personnel must be
licensed under the Casino Control Act. Security checks are made to determine,
among other matters, that job applicants for key positions have had no criminal
ties or associations. The Company employs extensive security and internal
controls at its casino. Security in the Resorts Casino Hotel utilizes closed
circuit video cameras to monitor the casino floor and money counting areas. The
count of monies from gaming is observed daily by government representatives.
Seasonal Factors
The Company's business activities are strongly affected by seasonal
factors that influence the New Jersey beach tourist
64
<PAGE> 68
trade. Higher revenues and earnings are typically realized from the Company's
Atlantic City operations during the middle third of the year.
Employees
Since the disposition of the Company's Paradise Island operations in
May 1994, the Company has had a maximum of approximately 3,900 employees,
almost all of whom were located in Atlantic City. The Company believes that
its employee relations are satisfactory.
Approximately 1,500 of the Company's employees are represented by
unions. Of these employees, approximately 1,200 are represented by the Hotel
Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union Local 54, whose contract
expires in September 1999. There are several union contracts covering other
union employees.
All of the Company's casino employees and casino hotel employees must
be licensed under the Casino Control Act. Casino hotel employees are those
employees whose work requires access to the casino, the casino simulcasting
facility or restricted casino areas. Each casino and casino hotel employee
must meet applicable standards pertaining to such matters as financial
responsibility, good character, ability, casino training and experience, and
New Jersey residency. Hotel employees are no longer required to be registered
with the Casino Control Commission.
Regulation and Gaming Taxes and Fees
General
The Company's operations in Atlantic City are subject to regulation
under the Casino Control Act, which authorizes the establishment of casinos in
Atlantic City, provides for licensing, regulation and taxation of casinos and
created the Casino Control Commission and the Division of Gaming Enforcement.
These bodies administer the Casino Control Act. In general, the provisions of
the Casino Control Act concern: the ability, character and financial stability
and integrity of casino operators, their officers, directors and employees and
others financially interested in a casino; the nature and suitability of hotel
and casino facilities, operating methods and conditions; and financial and
accounting practices. Gaming operations are subject to a number of
restrictions relating to the rules of games, number of games, credit play, size
and facilities of hotel and casino operations, hours of operation, persons who
may be employed, companies which may do business with casinos, the maintenance
of accounting and cash control procedures, security and other aspects of the
business.
65
<PAGE> 69
There were significant regulatory changes from 1993 through early 1995.
The Casino Control Commission approved poker and keno, which were implemented
by casinos in the summers of 1993 and 1994, respectively. Also, the Casino
Control Act was amended to allow casinos to expand their casino floors before
building the requisite number of hotel rooms, subject to approval of the Casino
Control Commission. This amendment was designed to encourage hotel room
construction by giving casino licensees an incentive and an added ability to
generate money to finance hotel construction. Further legislation was passed
allowing the Casino Control Commission to approve increasing a casino's gaming
space if a licensee has had qualified rooms in an annexed approved casino/hotel
or rebuilds existing hotel rooms as part of a neighborhood rehabilitation
program. Previous law only allowed for casino expansion if a casino built new
hotel rooms. In addition, the minimum casino square footage has been increased
from 50,000 square feet to 60,000 square feet for the first 500 qualifying
rooms and allows for an additional 10,000 square feet for each additional 100
qualifying rooms over 500. Future costs of regulation have been reduced as new
legislation (i) no longer requires hotel employees to be registered and (ii)
extends the term for casino and casino key employee license renewals from two
years to four years. The new legislation also allows greater efficiency by
either reducing or eliminating the time permitted the Casino Control Commission
to approve (i) internal controls, (ii) patron complimentary programs and (iii)
the movement of gaming equipment.
Casino License
A casino license is initially issued for a term of one year and must be
renewed annually by action of the Casino Control Commission for the first two
renewal periods succeeding the initial issuance of a casino license. Until
recently, the Casino Control Commission was given the authority to renew a
casino license for a period of two years. This period has been extended to
four years, although the Casino Control Commission may reopen licensing
hearings at any time. A license is not transferable and may be conditioned,
revoked or suspended at any time upon proper action by the Casino Control
Commission. The Casino Control Act also requires an operations certificate
which, in effect, has a term coextensive with that of a casino license.
On February 26, 1979, the Casino Control Commission granted a casino
license to RIH for the operation of the Company's Atlantic City casino. In
February 1994, RIH's license was renewed until January 31, 1996. RIH's renewed
license is subject to several conditions, including (i) the Company must
provide certain periodic reports and immediate notification of certain events
related to RII's public debt securities to the Casino Control Commission, (ii)
the Company must submit certain periodic financial reports to the Casino
Control Commission, (iii) certain
66
<PAGE> 70
payments from RIH to related parties are subject to prior approval of the
Casino Control Commission and (iv) any borrowing under the Senior Facility is
subject to prior approval of the Casino Control Commission.
Restrictions on Ownership of Equity and Debt Securities
The Casino Control Act imposes certain restrictions upon the ownership
of securities issued by a corporation which holds a casino license or is a
holding, intermediary or subsidiary company of a corporate licensee
(collectively, "holding company"). Among other restrictions, the sale,
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any security issued by a
corporation which holds a casino license is conditional and shall be
ineffective if disapproved by the Casino Control Commission. If the Casino
Control Commission finds that an individual owner or holder of any securities
of a corporate licensee or its holding company must be qualified and is not
qualified under the Casino Control Act, the Casino Control Commission has the
right to propose any necessary remedial action. In the case of corporate
holding companies and affiliates whose securities are publicly traded, the
Casino Control Commission may require divestiture of the security held by any
disqualified holder who is required to be qualified under the Casino Control
Act.
In the event that entities or persons required to be qualified refuse
or fail to qualify and fail to divest themselves of such security interest, the
Casino Control Commission has the right to take any necessary action, including
the revocation or suspension of the casino license. If any security holder of
the licensee or its holding company or affiliate who is required to be
qualified is found disqualified, it will be unlawful for the security holder to
(i) receive any dividends or interest upon any such securities, (ii) exercise,
directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred by such
securities or (iii) receive any remuneration in any form from the corporate
licensee for services rendered or otherwise. The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of RII provides that all securities of RII are
held subject to the condition that if the holder thereof is found to be
disqualified by the Casino Control Commission pursuant to provisions of the
Casino Control Act, then that holder must dispose of his or her interest in the
securities. The Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes are also subject to
the qualification, divestiture and redemption provisions under the Casino
Control Act described herein.
Remedies
In the event that it is determined that a licensee has violated the
Casino Control Act, or if a security holder of the licensee required to be
qualified is found disqualified but does not dispose of his securities in the
licensee or holding company,
67
<PAGE> 71
under certain circumstances the licensee could be subject to fines or have its
license suspended or revoked.
The Casino Control Act provides for the mandatory appointment of a
conservator to operate the casino and hotel facility if a license is revoked or
not renewed and permits the appointment of a conservator if a license is
suspended for a period in excess of 120 days. If a conservator is appointed,
the suspended or former licensee is entitled to a "fair rate of return out of
net earnings, if any, during the period of the conservatorship, taking into
consideration that which amounts to a fair rate of return in the casino or
hotel industry."
Under certain circumstances, upon the revocation of a license or
failure to renew, the conservator, after approval by the Casino Control
Commission and consultation with the former licensee, may sell, assign, convey
or otherwise dispose of all of the property of the casino/hotel. In such
cases, the former licensee is entitled to a summary review of such proposed
sale by the Casino Control Commission and creditors of the former licensee and
other parties in interest are entitled to prior written notice of sale.
License Fees, Taxes and Investment Obligations
The Casino Control Act provides for casino license renewal fees and
other fees based upon the cost of maintaining control and regulatory
activities, and various work permits and license fees for the various classes
of employees. In addition, a licensee is subject annually to a tax of 8% of
"gross revenue" (defined under the Casino Control Act as casino win, less
provision for uncollectible accounts up to 4% of casino win) and license fees
of $500 on each slot machine.
The following table summarizes, for the periods shown, the fees and
taxes assessed upon the Company by the Casino Control Commission.

The Casino Control Act, as originally adopted, required a licensee to
make investments equal to 2% of the licensee's gross revenue (the "investment
obligation") for each calendar year,
68
<PAGE> 72
commencing in 1979, in which such gross revenue exceeded its "cumulative
investments" (as defined in the Casino Control Act). A licensee had five years
from the end of each calendar year to satisfy this investment obligation or
become liable for an "alternative tax" in the same amount. In 1984 the New
Jersey legislature amended the Casino Control Act so that these provisions now
apply only to investment obligations for the years 1979 through 1983. Certain
issues have been raised concerning the satisfaction of the Company's investment
obligations for the years 1979 through 1983. See Note 16 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these issues.
Effective for 1984 and subsequent years, the amended Casino Control Act
requires a licensee to satisfy its investment obligation by purchasing bonds to
be issued by the CRDA or by making other investments authorized by the CRDA, in
an amount equal to 1.25% of a licensee's gross revenue. If the investment
obligation is not satisfied, then the licensee will be subject to an investment
alternative tax of 2.5% of gross revenue. Licensees are required to make
quarterly deposits with the CRDA against their current year investment
obligations. The Company's investment obligations for the years 1994, 1993 and
1992 amounted to $3,124,000, $3,054,000, and $2,930,000, respectively, and have
been satisfied by deposits made with the CRDA. At December 31, 1994, the
Company held $5,286,000 face amount of bonds issued by the CRDA and had
$15,577,000 on deposit with the CRDA. The CRDA bonds issued through 1994 have
interest rates ranging from 3.9% to 7% and have repayment terms of between 20
and 50 years.
Recent amendments to the Casino Control Act create a new Atlantic City
fund for economic development projects other than the construction and
renovation of casino/hotels. Beginning in fiscal year 1995/1996 and for the
following three fiscal years, if the amount of money expended by the Casino
Control Commission and the Division of Gaming Enforcement is less than
$57,300,000, the prior year's budget for these agencies, the amount of the
difference is to be deposited into the Atlantic City fund. Thereafter,
beginning with fiscal year 1999/2000 and for the following three fiscal years,
an amount equal to the average paid into the Atlantic City fund for the previous
four fiscal years shall be deposited in the Atlantic City fund. Each licensee's
share of the amount to be contributed to the fund is based upon its percentage
of the total industry gross revenue for the relevant fiscal year. After eight
years, the casino licensee's requirement to contribute to this fund ceases.
PROPERTIES
The Company's casino, resort hotel and related properties in Atlantic
City, the approximately 10 acre site of the Showboat and certain other
properties described below are owned in fee, except for approximately 1.2 acres
of the Resorts Casino Hotel site
69
<PAGE> 73
which are leased pursuant to ground leases expiring from 2056 through 2067.
RIH's fee and leasehold interests in the Resorts Casino Hotel, the
contiguous parking garage and property, all additions and improvements thereto,
and related personal property of RIH compose the collateral securing the
Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes. The Showboat Lease, including the
land subject to the lease, secures the payment of the Showboat Notes.
Other Properties
The Company owns various non-operating sites in Atlantic City that could
be developed and are available for sale. These sites consist primarily of
vacant land in Great Island, Brigantine Island, the marina area and waterfront
parcels in the inlet section. In view of the generally depressed state of the
commercial real estate market in Atlantic City and the condition of the economy
generally, the Company does not anticipate any significant real estate activity
in the foreseeable future. In this connection, see Note 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements of RII for a discussion of a write-down of the
Company's non-operating Atlantic City real estate in 1994.
RII is the owner of real property located at Brigantine Boulevard on
Brigantine Island that consists of approximately 40 acres ("Rum Point"), of
which only approximately 15 acres can potentially be developed because the
remaining portions constitute wetlands areas and consequently are not available
for development. Additional environmental and coastal restrictions apply to the
development of Rum Point.
RII owns in fee an approximately 552 acre parcel located in Atlantic
City on Blackhorse Pike (the "Great Island Property"), of which approximately
545 acres are considered to be woodlands and wetlands. The Company owns in fee
an eight acre parcel located in the marina area of Atlantic City immediately
adjacent to the Harrah's Casino Hotel. The Company also owns in fee various
individual parcels of property located in the area of Atlantic City known as the
South Inlet which in the aggregate constitute approximately 10 acres and a
parcel of land in Atlantic City consisting of approximately six acres and a
warehouse thereon. The Company is the owner of various additional properties at
scattered sites in Atlantic City. Principal among these is the so-called "Trans
Expo" site, a 2.3 acre parcel located near the site of the new convention
center.

Transactions with Management and Others
Griffin Services Agreement. In April 1993 RII and Resorts
International Hotel, Inc. ("RIH"), RII's subsidiary which owns and operates
Merv Griffin's Resorts Casino Hotel (the "Resorts Casino Hotel") in Atlantic
City, New Jersey, entered into a License and Services Agreement with Griffin
Group (the "Griffin Services Agreement") dated and effective as of September
17, 1992 to replace the previous License and Services Agreement among RII, Merv
Griffin and Griffin Group upon its expiration. Pursuant to the Griffin
Services Agreement, Griffin Group granted RII and RIH a non-exclusive license
to use the name and likeness of Merv Griffin in certain advertising media and
limited merchandising for the sole purpose of advertising and promoting the
facilities and operations of RII and RIH. In connection with such license,
Griffin Group will not grant any similar license to any casino/hotel located in
Atlantic City during the term of the Griffin Services Agreement, so long as RII
and RIH own or operate casino and hotel facilities there.
Pursuant to the Griffin Services Agreement, Griffin Group agreed to
provide to RII and RIH, for the term of the Griffin Services Agreement, the
non-exclusive services of Merv Griffin, subject to the performance by RII and
RIH of their obligations under the Griffin Services Agreement, (i) as Chairman
of the Board of Directors of RII, (ii) as host, producer, presenter and
featured performer relative to certain shows to be presented at the Resorts
Casino Hotel, (iii) as consultant and marketing adviser, (iv) in certain
capacities, as spokesperson for RII and RIH and (v) as participant in certain
radio, television and print advertisements.
The Griffin Services Agreement is to continue in force until September
17, 1997 and provides for earlier termination under certain circumstances
including, among others, a change of control (as defined) of RII and RIH and
Mr. Griffin ceasing to serve as Chairman of the Board of RII.
The Griffin Services Agreement provides for compensation to Griffin
Group in the following annual amounts over the five year term: $2,000,000;
$2,100,000; $2,205,000; $2,310,000 and $2,425,000. The agreement called for a
payment of $4,100,000, upon signing, representing compensation for the first
two years of services. Thereafter, the agreement called for annual payments on
September 17, each representing a prepayment for the year ending two years
hence. In lieu of paying in cash, at RII's option, it could satisfy its
obligation to make any of the payments required under the Griffin Services
Agreement by reducing the amount of the Group Note described below under
"Indebtedness of Management." In the event of an early termination of the
Griffin Services Agreement, and depending on the circumstances of such early
termination, all or a portion of
80
<PAGE> 84
the compensation paid to Griffin Group in respect of the period subsequent to
the date of termination may be required to be repaid to RII and RIH.
RIH made the $4,100,000 payment for the first two years under the
Griffin Services Agreement in April 1993. In September 1993, RII satisfied the
obligation to make the $2,205,000 payment for the year ending September 16,
1995 by reducing the Group Note by that amount. In May 1994, as contemplated
in the Plan, RII satisfied the $2,310,000 obligation to Griffin Group for the
fourth year of the Griffin Services Agreement by reducing the principal amount
of the Group Note in an equal amount. The final payment required under the
agreement, $2,425,000, was to be due in September 1995. On August 1, 1994,
following review and approval by the independent members of RII's Board of
Directors, RII agreed to issue 1,940,000 shares of RII Common Stock to Atlantic
Resorts Holdings, Inc. ("ARH"), an affiliate of Griffin Group through which Mr.
Griffin holds certain securities of RII, in satisfaction of this final payment
obligation. The closing price of RII Common Stock on the date of the agreement
was $1.0625 per share. The shares are not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 and are restricted securities.
As additional compensation provided for in the Griffin Services
Agreement, on the Effective Date RII issued to ARH, as assignee from Griffin
Group, a warrant to purchase 4,666,850 shares of RII Common Stock at $1.20 per
share (the "Griffin Warrant"). The Griffin Warrant is exercisable through May
3, 1998.
RII and RIH also have agreed to indemnify Merv Griffin and Griffin
Group for certain costs and liabilities arising in connection with the Griffin
Services Agreement or Merv Griffin's services, or the service of any employee
of Griffin Group, as a director or officer of RII or any subsidiary thereof.
Pursuant to the Griffin Services Agreement, RII and RIH have agreed to
maintain for at least four years comprehensive public liability, personal
injury and umbrella insurance coverage in specified amounts for both Griffin
Group and Merv Griffin, individually.
RII and RIH also have agreed to reimburse Griffin Group for certain
expenses incurred by Griffin Group and Merv Griffin in connection with the
license and services agreed to under the Griffin Services Agreement.
Other Transactions. The Company reimbursed Griffin Group $396,000,
$219,000 and $296,000 for charter air services rendered in 1992, 1993 and 1994,
respectively, to Mr. Griffin as well as other directors and officers of RII and
its subsidiaries for travel related to Company business.
81
<PAGE> 85
In 1992 and 1993 the Company did business with various subsidiaries of
January Enterprises of which Merv Griffin was Chief Executive Officer through
March 1994. In 1992 the Company agreed to pay $100,000 and provided certain
facilities, labor and accommodations in connection with the production of the
live television broadcast of "Merv Griffin's New Year's Eve Special 1992" from
Resorts Casino Hotel. In 1993 the Company agreed to the same terms as in 1992
for the production of the live television broadcast of "Merv Griffin's New
Year's Eve Special 1993." In 1994 RII and RIH incurred charges from
unaffiliated parties of $394,000 in producing the live television broadcast of
"Merv Griffin's New Year's Eve Special" from Resorts Casino Hotel. The Company
received certain promotional considerations in connection with the television
broadcast of these shows.
In 1994 the Company entered into a barter agreement with Griffin Group
whereby certain promotional spots would air on radio stations owned by Griffin
Group in exchange for certain packages including rooms, food and beverage and
entertainment at the Resorts Casino Hotel. The retail value of the services
exchanged are to total approximately $120,000.
In early 1992, RII entered into an agreement with Alvarez & Marsal,
Inc. ("Alvarez & Marsal") pursuant to which it was to provide financial
advisory services in connection with the development and analysis of financial
alternatives available to the Company, and the development of a long-term
financial plan. The Company paid Alvarez & Marsal $300,000 for financial
advisory services rendered under this agreement in 1992. According to an
amendment to this agreement, RII paid no fees to Alvarez & Marsal during 1993;
however, in 1994 RII paid Alvarez & Marsal, Inc. $225,000 and issued 112,500
shares of RII Common Stock as compensation for financial advisory services
rendered in connection with the reorganization of RII. Mr. Alvarez, a
shareholder of Alvarez & Marsal, was a member of RII's Board of Directors from
September 1990 until the Effective Date.
Certain Business Relationships. The Company retained Verner, Liipfert,
Bernhard, McPherson and Hand during 1992 and 1993 for certain legal services.
Mr. Sheeline, who was Of Counsel to such law firm through March 1993, was a
director of RII from 1990 until the Effective Date.
Indebtedness of Management. Pursuant to the 1990 plan of reorganization
of RII and certain of its subsidiaries, in September 1990, RII received
$12,345,000 in cash and an $11,000,000 promissory note (the "Griffin Note")
from Merv Griffin for 4,400,000 shares of RII Common Stock purchased by him. In
April 1993, in accordance with the Griffin Services Agreement described above
under "Transactions with Management and Others - Griffin Services Agreement,"
simultaneous with RIH's payment to Griffin Group of $4,100,000 for the first
two years of
82
<PAGE> 86
service under the agreement, Mr. Griffin made a partial payment of principal
and interest in the amount of $4,100,000 on the Griffin Note. This resulted in
a remaining balance of $7,523,333. The Griffin Note was then cancelled and a
new note from Griffin Group (the "Group Note") in the amount of $7,523,333 was
substituted therefor. The Group Note was payable on demand and bore interest
at the rate of 3% per year. Merv Griffin personally guaranteed payment of the
Group Note. As noted above, the balance of the Group Note was reduced by
$2,205,000 in September 1993 and by $2,310,000 in May 1994 in satisfaction of
fees due to Griffin Group under the Griffin Services Agreement. Also in May
1994, as part of the reorganization of RII, Griffin Group repaid the remaining
principal balance of $3,008,000 and accrued interest thereon.

DESCRIPTION OF MORTGAGE NOTES
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Mortgage Notes and
the Mortgage Note Indenture. Wherever particular provisions of the Mortgage Note
Indenture or Mortgage Notes are referred to, such provisions are incorporated by
reference herein. References to Sections or Articles refer to Sections or
Articles of the Mortgage Note Indenture. The definitions of certain terms used
below are set forth in "Certain Definitions" below in this section. All other
capitalized terms used in this section but not defined in this Prospectus have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Mortgage Note Indenture and are
incorporated by reference herein.
92
<PAGE> 96
GENERAL
The Mortgage Notes were issued pursuant to the Mortgage Note Indenture,
dated May 3, 1994, among RIHF, RIH and State Street Bank and Trust Company of
Connecticut, National Association, as trustee (the "Mortgage Note Trustee"). A
copy of the Mortgage Note Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The terms of the Mortgage Note
Indenture also are governed by certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 (the "TIA"). The Mortgage Notes are secured subordinated obligations of
RIHF in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000. The Mortgage Notes will
mature on September 15, 2003.
RANKING
Although the Mortgage Notes are not contractually subordinated to the
Senior Facility Notes as to priority of payment, the lien securing the Mortgage
Notes is junior to the lien securing the Senior Facility Notes, and the Mortgage
Notes therefore are structurally subordinated to the Senior Facility Notes. The
lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel securing payment of the RIH Promissory Note
is pari passu with the lien securing the Mortgage Note Guaranty and
subordinated to the liens securing payment of the RIH Senior Facility
Promissory Note, the Senior Facility Guaranty and any other secured Working
Capital Facility. (Section 4.03).
The aggregate principal amount that may be outstanding under the Senior
Facility and any other Working Capital Facility is limited to $20,000,000.
INTEREST
Interest on the Mortgage Notes accrues at a rate of 11% per year. Interest
is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 in each year to holders of
record at the close of business on the first day of the month in which the
Interest Payment Date occurs. RIHF is required to pay interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest at the rate of
14% per year.
SINKING FUND REQUIREMENTS
None.
MANDATORY REDEMPTION
In the event of an RIH Sale, all the Mortgage Notes shall be redeemed by
RIHF whether such RIH Sale occurs before, on or after the fifth anniversary of
the Effective Date, at par together with interest, if any, accrued and unpaid
thereon to the Redemption
93
<PAGE> 97
Date; provided, however, that such obligation of RIHF to redeem the Mortgage
Notes in the event of a proposed RIH Sale shall cease to exist if the Holders
of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding Amount of the Outstanding Mortgage
Notes have consented to such proposed RIH Sale. (Section 3.12).
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Mortgage Notes are redeemable at any time in whole, or from time to
time in part, on or after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date at the
election of RIHF, at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount plus
any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. (Section 3.12).
From and after any Redemption Date, if funds for the redemption of any
Mortgage Notes called for redemption shall have been made available, such
Mortgage Notes will cease to bear interest and the only right of the holders
will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price and all interest accrued to
such Redemption Date. (Section 13.06).
The Mortgage Note Indenture requires that notice of any redemption of any
Mortgage Notes be given to holders at their addresses, as shown in the register,
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The notice
of redemption must specify, among other things, the Redemption Date, the
Redemption Price, the principal amount of Mortgage Notes to be redeemed, and, if
less than all outstanding Mortgage Notes are to be redeemed, the identification
(and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of
the Mortgage Notes to be redeemed and the place or places where the Mortgage
Notes to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.
(Section 13.04).
The Mortgage Note Indenture provides that in the event of redemption of
less than all the outstanding Mortgage Notes, the particular Mortgage Notes to
be redeemed will be selected by the Mortgage Note Trustee by a random, automated
selection process or pro rata, as deemed appropriate by the Mortgage Note
Trustee. (Section 13.03).
CASINO CONTROL ACT REGULATION
The Mortgage Notes are subject to the qualification, divestiture and
redemption provisions under the Casino Control Act that are described in
"Description of Business -- Regulation and Gaming Taxes and Fees". (Section
13.08).
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT
The RIH Senior Facility Promissory Note, the RIH Senior Facility Guaranty,
the RIH Promissory Note, the Mortgage Note
94
<PAGE> 98
Guaranty, the RIH Junior Promissory Note and the Junior Mortgage Note
Guaranty are all secured, in part, by the Resorts Casino Hotel. See
"Collateral", "Guaranty", "Description of Junior Mortgage Notes -- Collateral"
and "Description of Junior Mortgage Notes -- Guaranty".
RII, RIH, RIHF, the Mortgage Note Trustee and the Junior Mortgage Note
Trustee have entered, and any other lender or lenders (or any trustee or agent
acting on behalf of such lender or lenders) under the Junior Mortgage Facility
or the Working Capital Facility and the trustee for the indenture pursuant to
which the Senior Facility Notes may be issued (the "Senior Facility Trustee"),
will enter, into an intercreditor agreement (the "Intercreditor Agreement"),
which defines the rights of each such lender in and to its respective security
interest in the Resorts Casino Hotel.
The Intercreditor Agreement provides that: (i) the liens securing payment
of the RIH Senior Facility Promissory Note and the RIH Senior Facility Guaranty
will be pari passi with each other and senior to liens securing payment of the
RIH Promissory Note, the Mortgage Note Guaranty, the RIH Junior Promissory Note
and the Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty with respect to payment from proceeds
realized upon any sale or other disposition of the Resorts Casino Hotel; and
(ii) the liens securing payment of the RIH Promissory Note and the Mortgage Note
Guaranty will be pari passu with each other, and senior to the liens securing
payment of the RIH Junior Promissory Note and the Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty,
and junior to the liens securing payment of the RIH Senior Facility Promissory
Note and the RIH Senior Facility Guaranty with respect to payment from proceeds
realized upon any sale or other disposition of the Resorts Casino Hotel.
COLLATERAL
General
The Mortgage Notes are secured by the Mortgage Note Trust Estate pursuant
to the Mortgage Documents described below. (Article Six).
The "Mortgage Note Trust Estate" consists of an assignment by RIHF to the
Mortgage Note Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Mortgage Notes, of
the RIH Promissory Note in the original aggregate principal amount of
$125,000,000, payable in amounts and at times necessary to pay the principal of
and interest on the Mortgage Notes, which is secured by a lien on the Resorts
Casino Hotel, consisting of RIH's fee and leasehold interests comprising the
Resorts Casino Hotel, the contiguous parking garage and property, all additions
or improvements constructed thereon, all rents, leases and profits derived
therefrom and certain tangible and intangible personal property located on, or
95
<PAGE> 99
used in connection with, the operation of the Resorts Casino Hotel
(collectively, the "RIH Mortgage"), comprising the trust estate encumbered
pursuant to the RIH Mortgage between RIH, as mortgagor, and RIHF, as mortgagee.
The RIH Mortgage
The RIH Mortgage creates a mortgage lien and security interest (subject to
the liens securing the RIH Senior Facility Promissory Note, the RIH Senior
Facility Guaranty and any other secured Working Capital Facility) in the Resorts
Casino Hotel.
RELEASE OF COLLATERAL
No portion of the Mortgage Note Trust Estate may be released without the
consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding Amount of the
Mortgage Notes then Outstanding. (Section 11.02). Section 2.02 of the RIH
Mortgage provides that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, RIH may sell or dispose of certain elements of the Resorts Casino
Hotel which may have become obsolete or unfit for use or which are no longer
necessary in the conduct of its businesses.
LIMITATIONS ON ABILITY TO REALIZE ON COLLATERAL
General
If there is an Event of Default under the Mortgage Note Indenture or the
RIH Mortgage, the Mortgage Note Trustee, subject to the requirements of the
Casino Control Act, may enforce the rights and remedies arising under the RIH
Mortgage. The net amount realized in any foreclosure sale for the benefit of
holders of the Mortgage Notes will be only that amount that exceeds all amounts
then due and owing to creditors, if any, having senior security interests
(including the holders of the Senior Facility Notes or the parties to any other
secured Working Capital Facility) and certain costs, taxes and other items.
Certain Regulatory Considerations
In any foreclosure sale with respect to the Resorts Casino Hotel, the
Mortgage Note Trustee could bid the amount of the outstanding Mortgage Notes.
The Mortgage Note Trustee would be required to comply with the applicable
requirements of the Casino Control Act in any foreclosure sale, including
obtaining a casino license.
Certain Bankruptcy Considerations
In the event of the filing of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code for RIHF
or RIH, applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including the automatic
stay provisions of section 362 of
96
<PAGE> 100
the Bankruptcy Code, may operate to prevent the Mortgage Note Trustee, from
taking action to realize on the Mortgage Note Trust Estate if there is an Event
of Default.
Ground Leases
A substantial portion of the North Tower of the Resorts Casino Hotel, a
portion of the adjacent parking garage and a small portion of the casino/hotel
are located on land that is owned by unrelated third parties and leased to RIH
under long-term ground leases. The ground leases do not provide certain
mortgagee protections and, in the event of a default thereunder, the Mortgage
Note Trustee may not have the right to cure any such default. However, the
Mortgage Note Trustee has the right under the Mortgage Note Indenture to tender
defaulted ground lease payments to RIH and require RIH to transmit such funds to
the respective ground lessor. If such default is not cured, the lessor under any
ground lease may have the right to terminate the ground lease. The termination
of any or all of such ground leases could result in the loss of portions of, or
rights with respect to, the property subject to the terminated ground lease.
GUARANTY
RIH has guaranteed payment of principal of and interest on the Mortgage
Notes pursuant to the Mortgage Note Guaranty. In addition, the Mortgage Note
Guaranty is secured by a lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel pursuant to a mortgage
and security agreement with an assignment of rents, and an assignment of leases
and rents (collectively, the "RIH Guaranty Mortgage"). The RIH Guaranty Mortgage
will encumber the Resorts Casino Hotel on a basis pari passu with the RIH
Mortgage. (Article Four)
PAYMENTS OF NET PROCEEDS OF ASSET SALES
None.
COVENANTS
Corporate Existence
Subject to the provisions described under "Limitations on Merger,
Consolidation, Transfer or Lease of Property and Assets", the Mortgage Note
Indenture provides that each of RIHF and RIH will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries in accordance
with the respective organizational documents of RIHF, RIH and each such
Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses, permits, approvals
and governmental franchises of it and each of its Subsidiaries necessary to the
conduct of its and their respective businesses, including without limitation,
all
97
<PAGE> 101
licenses, permits, approvals and franchises necessary to assure the
continued operation of RIH's gaming operations at the Resorts Casino Hotel;
provided, however, that any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RIH
may consolidate with, merge into or transfer or distribute all or part of its
properties and assets to RIH or RIHF or as otherwise provided in Section 10.01
of the Mortgage Note Indenture. (Section 12.04).
Limitation on Dividends and Restricted Payments
The Mortgage Note Indenture provides that RIHF will not, directly or
indirectly, make, or permit any Subsidiary of RIHF to make, any Restricted
Payment.
The Mortgage Note Indenture also provides that RIH will not, directly or
indirectly make, or permit any Subsidiary of RIH to make, any Restricted
Payment; provided, however, that: (i) if RIH's Consolidated Interest Coverage
Ratio, as certified to the Mortgage Note Trustee by an Officers' Certificate,
calculated at the time of the declaration of the dividend or distribution, is
equal to or exceeds two, then RIH may declare and pay cash dividends or make
cash distributions in respect of any class of capital stock of RIH in an amount
not to exceed in the aggregate with any other such cash dividends or
distributions declared or made from and after the date of the Mortgage Note
Indenture, 50% of RIH's Consolidated Net Income from and after the date of the
Mortgage Note Indenture; and (ii) if (1) RIH's Consolidated Interest Coverage
Ratio, as certified to the Mortgage Note Trustee by an Officer's Certificate,
calculated at the time of the declaration of the dividend or distribution, is
equal to or exceeds two, and (2) RIH has cash in excess of the amount required
to pay interest on the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes on the next
Interest Payment Date plus $20,000,000, then RIH may declare and pay cash
dividends or make cash distributions in respect of any class of capital stock of
RIH in an amount not to exceed such excess cash amount.
The Mortgage Note Indenture further provides that RIHF and RIH will not,
and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise
cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction of
any kind on the ability of any Subsidiary of RIH or RIHF: (i) to pay dividends
or make any other distribution on the capital stock of such Subsidiary that is
owned by RIH, RIHF or a wholly owned Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH, as applicable;
(ii) to pay any Indebtedness owed by such Subsidiary to RIH, RIHF or any wholly
owned Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH, as applicable; (iii) to make loans or advances
to RIH, RIHF or any wholly owned Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH, as applicable; or
(iv) to transfer any of its property or assets to RIHF, RIH or any wholly owned
Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH, as applicable, except (A) any restrictions existing
on or prior to the date of the Mortgage Note Indenture, or in
98
<PAGE> 102
connection with agreements in effect, or entered into, on the date of the
Mortgage Note Indenture, or any permitted amendments, renewals, refundings,
refinancings or extensions thereof; provided, however, that the terms and
conditions of any such amendments, renewals, refundings, refinancings or
extensions are no more restrictive with respect to the matters set forth in
clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph than the agreements being amended,
refunded, renewed, refinanced or extended; (B) any restrictions or encumbrances
existing or arising pursuant to the terms of Indebtedness of a Person
outstanding at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH and not
incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming
a Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH or any permitted amendments, renewals, refinancings
or extensions thereof; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any
such amendments, renewals, refundings, refinancings or extensions are no more
restrictive with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (iv)
of this paragraph than the agreements being amended, renewed, refunded,
refinanced or extended; (C) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by
reason of applicable law or regulation (including, without limitation, the
Casino Control Act) or the Mortgage Note Indenture; (D) customary provisions
restricting assignment of contracts or subletting or assignment of any lease
governing a leasehold interest of any Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH; or (E) net
worth maintenance requirements imposed by any governmental authority. (Section
12.07).
Limitation on Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Notes
The Mortgage Note Indenture provides that RIHF and RIH will not, and will
not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable with respect to, including without limitation through any merger or
consolidation to which RIHF, RIH or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a
party or through any other acquisition of any such Subsidiary (collectively,

in the aggregate at any time outstanding that is subordinated and junior to
the Junior Mortgage Notes at least to the extent set forth in the
Subordination Provisions attached to the Mortgage Note Indenture as Exhibit
C and which Indebtedness does not have any requirements for amortization
payments, mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments prior to the stated
maturity of the Junior Mortgage Notes and does not provide for the payment
of interest in cash at any time when the most recent installment of
interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes was not paid in cash;
(vii) Non-Recourse Indebtedness in an amount not in excess of

any of their respective Subsidiaries to issue (other than to RIHF, RIH or a

which has voting rights or has a preference as to any distribution over its
common stock. (Section 12.08).
Limitation on Repayment of Subordinated Indebtedness
The Mortgage Note Indenture provides that neither RIHF nor RIH will, and
neither RIHF nor RIH will permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly,

defeasance) or otherwise acquire or retire for value prior to the Stated
Maturity of, or prior to any scheduled mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payment with respect to (collectively, to "repay" or a "repayment"), the
principal of any Indebtedness of RIHF, RIH or any Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH
which is subordinated (whether pursuant to its terms or by operation of law) in

of
100
<PAGE> 104
this paragraph shall not apply with respect to the Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to the Junior Mortgage Facility. (Section 12.09).
Limitation on Certain Transactions
The Mortgage Note Indenture also provides that each of RIHF and RIH will
not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, repurchase any Mortgage Notes in the

under the indenture pursuant to which the Senior Facility Notes may be issued
(the "Senior Facility Indenture"). (Section 12.10).
Restriction of Activities

maintain, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially
sound and reputable insurers, appropriate insurance on each of their respective

contingencies of the type and in amounts required by the Mortgage Documents or,
to the extent not governed by the Mortgage Documents, as customarily maintained
by corporations and other entities engaged in the same or similar businesses and
similarly situated; provided, however, that any such insurer shall be qualified
to do business in the jurisdiction where the insured property is located.
(Section 12.17).
Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws
The Mortgage Note Indenture provides that each of RIHF and RIH (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) will not, and will not cause or permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take
the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other
law that would prohibit or forgive RIHF or RIH from paying all or any portion of
the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Mortgage Notes or the
RIH Promissory Note or the Mortgage Note Guaranty, wherever and whenever
enacted, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Mortgage
Note Indenture or the RIH Promissory Note or the Mortgage Note Guaranty; and (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) RIHF and RIH will expressly waive all
benefit of advantage or any such law, and covenant that they will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Mortgage Note Trustee
in the Mortgage Note Indenture and in the Mortgage Documents, but will suffer
and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted. (Section 12.18).
Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates
The Mortgage Note Indenture also provides that each of RIHF and RIH will
not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including without limitation the
purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any
service) with any Affiliate of RIHF or RIH, unless (a) such transaction is upon
fair and reasonable terms which are no less favorable to RIHF or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, than
104
<PAGE> 108
would be available in an arm's-length transaction with an unrelated person and
(b) if over $250,000, such transaction is determined in the good faith judgment
of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of either (i) RII, so
long as RII owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding
capital stock of RIH, directly or indirectly, or (ii) RIH, to be in the best
interests of RIHF, RIH or such Subsidiary as applicable; provided, however,
that this provision shall not apply to (A) any agreements, documents,
instruments or transactions entered into in connection with the RIHF Senior
Facility Notes, (B) the Griffin Services Agreement, (C) the RII Management
Contract or (D) the RII Tax Sharing Agreement. (Section 12.21).
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The following events constitute "Events of Default" under the Mortgage Note
Indenture:
(a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Mortgage Note when
such interest becomes due and payable and continuance of such default (the

interest payment in full being deemed to cure any such default) for a
period of ten days;
(b) default in the payment of all or any portion of the principal of
any Mortgage Note at its Maturity;
(c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant of RIHF or
RIH in the Mortgage Note Indenture (other than a covenant a default in the

or one of the other clauses set forth herein), the Assignment Agreement or
any of the Mortgage Documents and continuance of such default or breach for
a period of 30 days (or such shorter or longer cure period, if any, as may

"Covenants -- Limitation on Certain Transactions",
"Covenants -- Restriction of Activities", "Covenants -- Limitation on
Subsidiaries; Consolidated Group", "Covenants -- Limitation on Liens" and
"Covenants -- Transactions with Stockholders and Affiliates") after there

and the Mortgage Note Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in Outstanding
Amount of the Outstanding Mortgage Notes, a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default"; provided, however, that, if such default
or breach is of a
105
<PAGE> 109
covenant set forth in certain specified provisions of the Mortgage Note
Indenture, and if such default or breach is of such a nature that is
curable but is not susceptible of being cured with due diligence within
such 30-day period (or such shorter or longer cure period) (for reasons
other than lack of funds), then, under certain circumstances, such period
shall be extended for such further period of time (up to a maximum of 60
days) as may reasonably be required to cure such default or breach;
(d) a proceeding or case shall be commenced, without the application
or consent of RIHF or RIH, in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking

receiver, custodian, liquidator or the like of RIHF or RIH or of all or any
substantial part of its assets, or (iii) similar relief in respect of RIHF
or RIH under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
winding-up, or composition or adjustment of debts, and such proceeding or
case shall continue undismissed, or an order, judgment or decree approving
or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstayed and
in effect, for a period of 60 consecutive days;
(e) the commencement by RIHF or RIH of a voluntary case under the
Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable Federal or state law, or
the consent or acquiescence by any of them to the filing of any such
petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar
official) of RIHF or RIH or any substantial part of any of their property,
or the making by any of them of an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or the taking of action by RIHF or RIH in furtherance of any such action;
(f) the revocation, suspension or involuntary loss of any Permit which
results in the cessation of a substantial portion of the operations of the
Resorts Casino Hotel for a period of more than 90 consecutive days;
(g) (i) a default by RIHF, RIH or any of their Subsidiaries under any
Indebtedness (other than the Working Capital Facility and the Junior
Mortgage Facility), in an aggregate principal amount in excess of
$5,000,000, which default results in the acceleration of the maturity of
any such Indebtedness under the evidence of indebtedness, indenture or
other instrument governing such Indebtedness; provided, however, that, if
such default under such evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other
instrument shall be cured by the obligor, or be waived by the holders of
such Indebtedness, in each case as may be permitted by such evidence of
indebtedness, indenture or other instrument and in each case resulting in

shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured or waived; or (ii) a
default by RIHF, RIH or any of their Subsidiaries under any Indebtedness
represented by the Working Capital Facility, or the Junior Mortgage
Facility, the effect of which default (after the expiration of any
applicable notice or grace periods) is to permit the holder or holders of
any such Indebtedness represented by the Working Capital Facility or the
Junior Mortgage Facility in an aggregate principal amount in excess of
$5,000,000 (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders) to
cause the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness represented by
the Working Capital Facility or the Junior Mortgage Facility under the
evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other instrument governing such
Indebtedness; provided, however, that if such default under such evidence
of indebtedness, indenture or other instrument shall be cured by the
obligor, or be waived by the holders of such evidence of Indebtedness,
indenture or other instrument (and, if such default resulted in the
acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness, such acceleration shall
have been rescinded thereunder), then the Event of Default under the
Mortgage Note Indenture by reason of such default shall be deemed likewise
to have been thereupon cured or waived; or (iii) the existence of a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in an amount in excess of
$3,000,000 against RIHF, RIH or the Mortgage Note Trust Estate, which
judgment has not been satisfied or otherwise provided for, for a period of
30 days (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) following
the date on which such judgment becomes a lien against the Mortgage Note
Trust Estate or any part thereof (unless the lawsuit in question was
commenced without effective service of process upon either RIHF or RIH in
which case such 30-day period shall not commence until RIHF or RIH receives
notice of such final judgment); or (iv) the existence of a final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction in an amount in excess of $15,000,000
against RIHF, RIH or the Mortgage Note Trust Estate, which judgment has not
been satisfied or otherwise provided for, for a period of 60 days (during
which execution shall not be effectively stayed) following the date of such
final judgment; or (v) the existence of a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction, regardless of amount, against RIHF, RIH or the
Mortgage Note Trust Estate, which judgment has not been satisfied or
otherwise provided for, for a period of 60 days (during which execution
shall not be effectively stayed) following the date of such final judgment,
if such judgment, by itself or upon recordation or other action of the
judgment creditor, imposes or would impose a lien on the Mortgage Note
Trust Estate or any part thereof senior to the lien of the RIH Mortgage;
(h) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of RIHF or
RIH in connection with the restrictions described under "Limitation on
Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease of Property and
Assets";
107
<PAGE> 111
(i) the existence of a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
in an amount in excess of $3,000,000 against RIH regarding the CRDA
Dispute, which judgment has not been stayed, satisfied or otherwise
provided for, for a period of 30 days (during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed) (unless the lawsuit in question was commenced without
effective service of process upon RIH in which case such 30-day period
shall not commence until RIH receives notice of such final judgment); or
(j) if RII fails to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged, within 30 days before the same shall become delinquent, all
taxes levied or imposed upon RII; provided, however, that no Event of
Default or Default shall be deemed to exist under the Mortgage Note
Indenture with respect to any tax liability not paid or discharged by RII
if and to the extent that the amount, applicability or validity of such tax
liability is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings if
adequate reserves therefor have been established in accordance with GAAP;
provided further, however, that this paragraph shall not apply to amounts
due with respect to any period during which neither RIHF, RIH nor any of
their Subsidiaries is included in RII's consolidated group for Federal
income tax purposes. (Section 7.01).
If an Event of Default (other than one referred to in clause (d) or (e)
above) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Mortgage Note
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in Outstanding Amount and all
accrued interest of the Mortgage Notes Outstanding may declare the Outstanding
Amount of all the Mortgage Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to RIHF (and to the Mortgage Note Trustee, if given by any
Noteholders), and upon any such declaration such Outstanding Amount shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default referred to in clause (d) or
(e) above occurs, then the Outstanding Amount of all the Mortgage Notes shall
automatically become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which will be expressly waived
by RIHF. (Section 7.02).
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, but
before any judgment or decree for payment of money due on any Mortgage Notes has
been obtained by the Mortgage Note Trustee, the Holders of a majority in
Outstanding Amount of the Mortgage Notes may, by written notice to RIHF and the
Mortgage Note Trustee, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences
if: (a) RIHF has deposited with the Mortgage Note Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay (1) all overdue installments of interest on all Mortgage Notes, (2) the
principal of any Mortgage Notes which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in the Mortgage Notes, and (3) all sums paid or advanced by the
Mortgage Note Trustee and the reasonable compensation,
108
<PAGE> 112
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Mortgage Note Trustee, its agents
and counsel; and (b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the
Outstanding Amount of the Mortgage Notes which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or have been waived as provided in
the Mortgage Note Indenture. No such rescission and annulment shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. (Section 7.02).

AND ASSETS
Neither RIHF nor RIH shall consolidate, combine or merge with or into any
other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate, combine or merge with or

the Mortgage Note Trust Estate may sell, assign, convey or transfer such assets
or the Mortgage Note Trust Estate, as the case may be, other than substantially

however, that (i) RIHF may engage in a Combination Transaction in which the only
other party or parties is RIH or a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of
RIHF or RIH, and (ii) RIHF or RIH may engage in any other Combination
Transaction (either independently or at the same time as other Combination
Transactions), subject to the following with respect to each such Combination

Requirements, including holding all permits, required for the normal operation
of the business of owning and operating the Resorts Casino Hotel, and (2) RIH
(or any successor entity) shall be controlled by a Person that is, or shall

conveyed or transferred, (1) shall be organized and existing under the laws of
the United States of America, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
(2) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental to the Mortgage Note

(3) shall expressly assume, by an instrument executed and delivered to the
Mortgage Note Trustee, the performance of every covenant, obligation and

under the covenant described in "Covenants -- Limitation on Additional
Indebtedness and Issuance of Notes"; (c) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Event of Default, or Default under the Mortgage Note Indenture
or under the RIH Mortgage, shall have occurred and be continuing; (d) such
Combination Transaction shall be on such terms as shall not impair the lien and
security and priority of the Mortgage Note Indenture or of the Mortgage
Documents or of the Assignment Agreement and the rights and powers of the
Mortgage Note Trustee and the Holders of the Mortgage Notes thereunder; and (e)
RIHF or RIH, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Mortgage Note
Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each of which shall
state that such Combination Transaction and such supplemental indenture comply
with the provisions of Article Ten of the Mortgage Note Indenture and that all
conditions precedent provided for in the Mortgage Note Indenture relating to
such transaction have been complied with. (Section 10.01).
Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the RIH Mortgage and the

hypothecate, pledge, mortgage or otherwise transfer all or any part of the
assets of RIHF or the Mortgage Note Trust Estate or any interest therein

limiting the generality of the foregoing, RIH shall not separate, or attempt
to separate, its ownership of its interest in the Ground Leases from the
ownership of the buildings constituting the Resorts Casino Hotel or any part
thereof. (Section 10.04).
The foregoing limitations on consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or
lease of property and assets shall not apply in connection with an RIH Sale.
(Section 10.05).

Indenture at any time by delivering all outstanding Mortgage Notes to the
Mortgage Note Trustee for cancellation and paying any other sums payable under

The Mortgage Note Indenture also provides that RIHF will be deemed to have

provisions of the Mortgage Note Indenture (except as to any surviving rights of
transfer or exchange of Mortgage Notes provided for in the Mortgage Note
Indenture or the Mortgage Notes and any right to receive payments of principal
and interest as provided in this paragraph) if: (1) RIHF irrevocably deposits in
trust with the Mortgage Note Trustee, pursuant to an irrevocable trust and
security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgage
Note Trustee, U.S. Legal Tender or direct non-callable obligations of, or
non-callable obligations guaranteed as to timely payment by, the United States

expressed in a written certification thereof (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Mortgage Note Trustee) delivered to the Mortgage Note
Trustee, to pay reasonable compensation to the Mortgage Note Trustee under
Section 8.07 of the Mortgage Note Indenture and the principal of and interest on
the outstanding Mortgage Notes on the dates on which any such payments are due

Mortgage Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance contemplated hereby and
will be subject to Federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance

Trustee or the trust becoming or being deemed to be an "investment company"
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (6) the Holders shall
111
<PAGE> 115
have a perfected security interest under applicable law in the U.S. Legal Tender

irrevocable trust, RIHF must make arrangements satisfactory to the Mortgage Note
Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice of such
redemption or redemptions by the Mortgage Note Trustee in the name and at the
expense of RIHF.

then acting as such hereunder shall, at the expense of RIHF, execute and deliver
a termination statement and such instruments of satisfaction and discharge as
may be necessary and pay, assign, transfer and deliver to RIHF or upon Company
Order all cash, securities and other personal property then held by it
hereunder, other than pursuant to Section 14.01 of the Mortgage Note Indenture.

MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE
From time to time, the parties to the Mortgage Note Indenture, without the
consent of the Holders of the Mortgage Notes, may enter into one or more
supplemental indentures for certain specified purposes, including curing
ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, provided such action does not adversely
affect the interests of any Holder. (Section 11.01). Modifications, changes and
amendments to the Mortgage Note Indenture also may be made by the parties
thereto with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding
Amount of the Mortgage Notes then Outstanding, except that, without the consent
of the Holder of each Mortgage Note affected, no such modification or alteration
may (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of
interest on, any Mortgage Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the
premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any Place of Payment
where, or the coin or currency in which, any Mortgage Note, or the interest
thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of

Outstanding Amount of the Mortgage Notes, the consent of whose Holders is
required for any amendment, supplement or waiver, (iii) modify or alter the

DESCRIPTION OF JUNIOR MORTGAGE NOTES
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Junior Mortgage
Notes and the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture. Wherever particular provisions of
the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture or Junior Mortgage Notes are referred to,
such provisions are incorporated by reference herein. References to Sections or
Articles refer to Sections or Articles of the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture.
The definition of certain terms used below are set forth in "Certain
Definitions" below in this section. All other capitalized terms used in this
section but not defined in this Information Statement/Prospectus have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture and are
incorporated by reference herein.
GENERAL
The Junior Mortgage Notes were issued pursuant to the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture, dated May 3, 1994, among RIHF, RIH and U.S. Trust Company of
California, N.A. (the "Junior Mortgage Note Trustee"). A copy of the Junior
Mortgage Note Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part. The terms of the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture
also are governed by certain provisions of the TIA. The Junior Mortgage Notes
are secured obligations of RIHF in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000
plus the principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes that may be issued in payment
of interest as described below. The Junior Mortgage Notes will mature on
December 15, 2004.
RANKING
Although the Junior Mortgage Notes are not contractually subordinated to
the Senior Facility Notes and the Mortgage Notes as to priority of payment, the
lien securing the Junior Mortgage
121
<PAGE> 125
Notes is junior to the liens securing the Senior Facility Notes and the Mortgage
Notes, and the Junior Mortgage Notes therefore are structurally subordinated to
the Senior Facility Notes and the Mortgage Notes. The lien on the Resorts Casino
Hotel securing payment of the RIH Junior Promissory Note is pari passu with
the lien securing the Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty and subordinated to the
liens securing payment of the RIH Senior Facility Promissory Note, the RIHF
Senior Facility Guaranty, any other secured Working Capital Facility, the RIH
Promissory Note and the Mortgage Note Guaranty. (Section 4.03).
INTEREST
Interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes accrues at a rate of 11.375% per
year. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 in each year
(commencing December 15, 1994) to Holders of record at the close of business on
the first day of the month in which the interest payment date occurs. RIHF is
required to pay interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
permitted by law, overdue interest at the rate of 14.375% per year. (Section
3.10).
RIHF may pay all or any portion of interest accruing on the Junior Mortgage
Notes by issuing additional Units comprised of Junior Mortgage Notes (valued,
for purposes only of determining the principal amount of additional Junior
Mortgage Notes to be issued in respect of interest so paid, at 100% of their
principal amount) and Class B Common Stock in lieu of cash in satisfaction of
interest payments due, provided that on the interest payment date in question,
Consolidated Cash Flow of RIH and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the most
recently completed four fiscal quarters is less than $35,000,000. (Section
3.11).
SINKING FUND REQUIREMENTS
None.
MANDATORY REDEMPTION
In the event of an RIH Sale, all the Junior Mortgage Notes shall be
redeemed by RIHF whether such RIH Sale occurs before, on or after the fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date, at par together with interest, if any,
accrued and unpaid thereon to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that such
obligation of RIHF to redeem the Junior Mortgage Notes in the event of a
proposed RIH Sale shall cease to exist if the Holders of not less than 66 2/3%
in Outstanding Amount of the Outstanding Junior Mortgage Notes have consented to
such proposed RIH Sale. (Section 3.13).
122
<PAGE> 126
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Junior Mortgage Notes are redeemable at any time in whole, or from time
to time in part, on or after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date at the
election of RIHF, at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. (Section 3.13).
From and after any Redemption Date, if funds for the redemption of any
Junior Mortgage Notes called for redemption shall have been made available, such
Junior Mortgage Notes will cease to bear interest and the only right of the
Holders will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price and all interest
accrued to such Redemption Date. (Section 13.06).
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture requires that notice of any redemption
of any Junior Mortgage Notes be given to Holders at their addresses, as shown in
the register, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date. The notice of redemption must specify, among other things, the Redemption
Date, the Redemption Price, the principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes to be
redeemed, and, if less than all outstanding Junior Mortgage Notes are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
respective principal amounts) of the Junior Mortgage Notes to be redeemed and
the place or places where the Junior Mortgage Notes to be redeemed are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. (Section 13.04).
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture provides that in the event of redemption
of less than all the outstanding Junior Mortgage Notes, the particular Junior
Mortgage Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Junior Mortgage Note
Trustee by a random, automated selection process or pro rata, as deemed
appropriate by the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee. (Section 13.03).
LIMITATION ON OPEN-MARKET PURCHASES
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture provides that RIHF and RIH will not, and
will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, purchase or otherwise
acquire (other than pursuant to a redemption described in Article Thirteen of
the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture) any Junior Mortgage Notes unless all
interest accrued on the Junior Mortgage Notes and payable on the Interest
Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such repurchase was paid solely
in cash and not in Additional Notes. (Section 12.22). In addition, the Junior
Mortgage Note Indenture provides that RIHF and RIH will not, and will not permit
any of their respective subsidiaries to, repurchase any Junior Mortgage Notes in
the open market if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the
Junior Mortgage Note Indenture, the Mortgage Note Indenture or the Senior
Facility Note Indenture. (Section 12.10).

CASINO CONTROL ACT REGULATION
The Junior Mortgage Notes are subject to the qualification, divestiture and
redemption provisions under the Casino Control Act that are described in
"Description of Business -- Regulation and Gaming Taxes and Fees". (Section
13.08).
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT
See "Description of Mortgage Notes -- Intercreditor Agreement".
COLLATERAL
General
The Junior Mortgage Notes are secured by the Junior Mortgage Note Trust
Estate pursuant to the Mortgage Documents described below. (Article Six).
The "Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate" consists of an assignment by RIHF
to the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Junior
Mortgage Notes, of the RIH Junior Promissory Note in the original aggregate
principal amount of $35,000,000, payable in amounts and at times necessary to
pay the principal of and interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes, which is secured
by a lien on Resorts Casino Hotel, consisting of RIH's fee and leasehold
interests comprising the Resorts Casino Hotel, the contiguous parking garage and
property, all additions or improvements constructed thereon, all rents, issues
and profits derived therefrom and certain tangible and intangible personal
property located on, or used in connection with, the operation of the Resorts
Casino Hotel (collectively, the "RIH Junior Mortgage"), comprising the trust
estate, encumbered pursuant to the RIH Junior Mortgage between RIH, as
mortgagor, and RIHF, as mortgagee.
The RIH Junior Mortgage
The RIH Junior Mortgage creates a mortgage lien and security interest
(subject to the liens securing the RIH Senior Facility Promissory Note, the RIH
Senior Facility Guaranty, any other secured Working Capital Facility, the RIH
Promissory Note and the RIH Mortgage Note Guaranty) in the Resorts Casino Hotel.
RELEASE OF COLLATERAL
No portion of the Junior Mortgage Trust Estate may be released without the
consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding Amount of the
Junior Mortgage Notes then Outstanding. (Section 11.02). Section 2.02 of the RIH
Junior Mortgage provides that RIH may, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, sell or dispose of certain elements of the Resorts
124
<PAGE> 128
Casino Hotel which may have become obsolete or unfit for use or which are no
longer necessary in the conduct of its businesses.
LIMITATIONS ON ABILITY TO REALIZE ON COLLATERAL
General
If there is an Event of Default under the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture or
the RIH Junior Mortgage, the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee, subject to the
requirements of the Casino Control Act, may enforce the rights and remedies
arising under the RIH Junior Mortgage. The net amount realized in any
foreclosure sale for the benefit of Holders of the Junior Mortgage Notes will be
only that amount that exceeds all amounts then due and owing to creditors, if
any, having senior security interests (including the Holders of the RIHF Senior
Facility Notes, the parties to any other secured Working Capital Facility and
the holders of the Mortgage Notes and the related Mortgage Note Guaranty) and
certain costs, taxes and other items.
Certain Regulatory Considerations
In any foreclosure sale with respect to the Resorts Casino Hotel, the
Junior Mortgage Note Trustee could bid the amount of the outstanding Junior
Mortgage Notes. The Junior Mortgage Note Trustee would be required to comply
with the applicable requirements of the Casino Control Act in any foreclosure
sale, including obtaining a casino license.
Certain Bankruptcy Considerations
In the event of the filing of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code for RIHF
or RIH, applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including the automatic
stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, may operate to prevent
the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee from taking action to realize on the Junior
Mortgage Trust Estate if there is an Event of Default.
Ground Leases
A substantial portion of the North Tower of the Resorts Casino Hotel, a
portion of the adjacent parking garage and a small portion of the casino/hotel
are located on land that is owned by unrelated third parties and leased to RIH
under long-term ground leases. The ground leases do not provide certain
mortgagee protections and, in the event of a default thereunder, the Junior
Mortgage Note Trustee may not have the right to cure any such default. However,
the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee has the right under the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture to tender defaulted ground lease payments to RIH and require RIH to
transmit such funds to the respective ground lessor. If such default is not
cured, the lessor under any ground lease may have the right to
125
<PAGE> 129
terminate the ground lease. The termination of any or all of such ground
leases could result in the loss of portions of, or rights with respect to, the
property subject to the terminated ground lease.
GUARANTY
RIH has guaranteed payment of principal of and interest on the Junior
Mortgage Notes pursuant to the Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty. In addition, the
Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty is secured by a lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel
pursuant to a mortgage and security agreement with an assignment of rents, and
an assignment of leases and rents (collectively, the "RIH Guaranty Mortgage").
The RIH Junior Guaranty Mortgage will encumber the Resorts Casino Hotel on a
basis pari passu with the RIH Junior Mortgage. (Article Four)
PAYMENTS OF NET PROCEEDS OF ASSET SALES
None.
COVENANTS
Corporate Existence
Subject to the provisions described under "Limitations on Merger,
Consolidation, Transfer or Lease of Property and Assets", the Junior Mortgage

with the respective organizational documents of RIHF, RIH and each such
Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses, permits, approvals
and governmental franchises of it and each of its Subsidiaries necessary to the
conduct of its and their respective businesses, including without limitation all
licenses, permits, approvals and franchises necessary to assure the continued
operation of RIH's gaming operations at the Resorts Casino Hotel; provided,
however, any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RIH may consolidate
with, merge into or transfer or distribute all or part of its properties and
assets to RIH or RIHF or as otherwise provided in Section 10.01 of the Junior
Mortgage Note Indenture. (Section 12.04).

126
<PAGE> 130
to make, any Restricted Payment; provided, however, that: (i) if RIH's
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, as certified to the Junior Mortgage Note
Trustee by an Officers' Certificate calculated at the time of the declaration of
the dividend or distribution, is equal to or exceeds two, then RIH may declare
and pay cash dividends or make cash distributions in respect of any class of
capital stock of RIH in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate with any other
such cash dividends or distributions declared or made from and after the date of
the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture, 50% of RIH's Consolidated Net Income from
and after the Effective Date; and (ii) if (1) RIH's Consolidated Interest
Coverage Ratio, as certified to the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee by an Officer's
Certificate, calculated at the time of the declaration of the dividend or
distribution is equal to or exceeds two; and (2) RIH has cash in excess of the
amount required to pay interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes and the Mortgage
Notes on the next Interest Payment Date plus $20,000,000, then RIH may declare
and pay cash dividends or make cash distributions in respect of any class of
capital stock of RIH in an amount not to exceed such excess cash amount.

not, and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, create or
otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or
restriction of any kind on the ability of any Subsidiary of RIH or RIHF: (i) to

RIHF or any wholly owned Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH, as applicable; (iii) to make

applicable; or (iv) to transfer any of its property or assets to RIHF, RIH or

restrictions existing on or prior to the date of the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture, or in connection with agreements in effect, or entered into, on the
date of the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture, or any permitted amendments,
renewals, refundings, refinancings or extensions thereof; provided, however,
that the terms and conditions of any such amendments, renewals, refundings,
refinancings or extensions are no more restrictive with respect to the matters
set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph than the agreements
being amended, refunded, renewed, refinanced or extended; (B) any restrictions
or encumbrances existing or arising pursuant to the terms of Indebtedness of a
Person outstanding at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH
and not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person
becoming a Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH or any permitted amendments, renewals,
refinancings or extensions thereof; provided, however, that the terms and
conditions of any such amendments, renewals, refundings, refinancings or

will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or
indirectly liable with respect to, including, without limitation, through
any merger or consolidation to which RIHF, RIH or any of their respective

The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture provides that neither RIHF nor RIH will
create, incur, suffer to exist or permit to be created or incurred any mortgage,
lien, charge or encumbrance on or pledge of the Mortgage Documents or any of the
Junior Mortgage Trust Estate, other than (a) Permitted Encumbrances on the
Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate, (b) liens on the Junior Mortgage Note Trust
Estate in connection with Indebtedness permitted by clauses (i), (ii), (iii),
(iv) or (v) of the first paragraph of the covenant described in "Limitation on
Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Notes", and (c) a building contract or
notice of intention filed by a mechanic, materialman or laborer under the New
Jersey lien law. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, but
notwithstanding the provisions of such sentence, RIH shall not be deemed to have
breached such provisions by virtue of the existence of liens for Impositions (as
defined in the RIH Junior Mortgage) or mechanics' liens so long as RIH is in
good faith contesting the validity of such liens in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.09 of the RIH Junior Mortgage. (Section 12.13).
Compliance with Laws
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture provides that each of RIHF and RIH will
comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the Casino
Control Act and all other applicable statutes (including, without limitation,
ERISA), rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of the United States of
America, states and municipalities, and of any governmental department,
commission, board, regulatory authority, bureau, agency and instrumentality of
the foregoing in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its
properties and assets, including, without limitation, the Junior Mortgage Note
Trust Estate, except such as are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings in accordance with the Mortgage Documents (to the extent applicable)
and except for such noncompliances as will not in the aggregate have a material
adverse effect on the business, properties, operations or financial condition of
RIHF, RIH or their respective Subsidiaries. (Section 12.14).
131
<PAGE> 135
Payment of Taxes and Other Claims
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture provides that RIHF or RIH will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon RIHF, RIH or any of their respective Subsidiaries or upon the
Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate or any portion thereof or upon the income,
profits or property of RIHF, RIH or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and
(b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, will
by law become a Lien upon the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate or upon any
other property of RIHF, RIH or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that RIHF and RIH shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessments, charge or claim the amount,
applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings in accordance with the Mortgage Documents (to the extent
applicable) if adequate reserves therefor have been established in accordance
with GAAP. (Section 12.15).
Maintenance of Properties
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture further provides that each of RIHF and
RIH will cause the Junior Mortgage Trust Estate and all other properties (other
than obsolete equipment) owned by or leased to it or any of its Subsidiaries,
and used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of RIHF, RIH
or such Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and
working order, except for reasonable wear and use, and will cause to be made all
necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof,
all as required by the Mortgage Documents or, to the extent not governed by the
Mortgage Documents, as in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of
RII may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may
be properly and advantageously conducted at all times. (Section 12.16).
Insurance
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture provides that each of RIHF and RIH will
maintain, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially
sound and reputable insurers, appropriate insurance on each of their respective
properties and businesses against liabilities, casualties, risks and
contingencies of the type and in amounts required by the Mortgage Documents or,
to the extent not governed by the Mortgage Documents, as customarily maintained
by corporations and other entities engaged in the same or similar businesses and
similarly situated; provided, however, that any such insurer shall be qualified
to do business in the jurisdiction where the insured property is located.
(Section 12.17).
132
<PAGE> 136
Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture provides that each of RIHF and RIH (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) will not, and will not cause or permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take
the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other
law that would prohibit or forgive RIHF or RIH from paying all or any portion of
the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes
or the RIH Junior Promissory Note or the Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty, wherever
and whenever enacted, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of
the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture or the RIH Junior Promissory Note or the
Junior Mortgage Note Guaranty; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
RIHF and RIH will expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
covenant that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
granted to the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee in the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture and in the Mortgage Documents, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. (Section
12.18).
Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates
The Junior Mortgage Note Indenture also provides that each of RIHF and RIH
will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including without
limitation the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the
rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of RIHF or RIH, unless (a) such
transaction is upon fair and reasonable terms which are no less favorable to
RIHF or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be available in an
arm's-length transaction with an unrelated person and (b) if over $250,000, such
transaction is determined in the good faith judgment of a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors of either (i) RII, so long as RII owns
directly or indirectly a majority of the outstanding capital stock of RIH,
directly or indirectly, or (ii) RIH, to be in the best interests of RIHF, RIH or
such Subsidiary as applicable; provided, however, that this provision shall not
apply to (A) any agreements, documents, instruments or transactions entered into
in connection with the RIHF Senior Facility Notes, (B) the Services Agreement,
(C) the RII Management Contract, or (D) the RII Tax Sharing Agreement. (Section
12.21).
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The following events constitute "Events of Default" under the Junior
Mortgage Note Indenture:
133
<PAGE> 137
(a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Junior Mortgage
Note when such interest becomes due and payable and continuance of such
default (the deposit with the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee of funds
sufficient to make such interest payment in full being deemed to cure any
such default) for a period of ten days;
(b) default in the payment of all or any portion of the principal of
any Junior Mortgage Note at its Maturity;
(c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant of RIHF or
RIH in the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture (other than a covenant a default
in the performance or breach of which specifically dealt with in this
paragraph or one of the other clauses set forth herein), the Assignment
Agreement or any of the Mortgage Documents and continuance of such default
or breach for a period of 30 days (or such shorter or longer cure period,
if any, as may be specified in respect of such default or breach in the
Assignment Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Document, as the case may
be), and (other than with respect to the covenants described in
"Covenants -- Limitation on Dividends and Restricted Payments",
"Covenants -- Limitation on Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Notes",
"Covenants -- Limitation on Repayment of Subordinated Indebtedness",
"Covenants -- Limitation on Certain Transactions",
"Covenants -- Restriction of Activities", "Covenants -- Limitations on
Subsidiaries, Consolidated Group", "Covenants -- Limitation on Liens" and
"Covenants -- Transactions with Stockholders and Affiliates") after there
has been given (i) to RIHF by the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee, or (ii) to
RIHF and the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in
Outstanding Amount of the Outstanding Junior Mortgage Notes, a written
notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied
and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default"; provided, however,
that, if such default or breach is of a covenant set forth in certain
specified provisions of the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture, and if such
default or breach is of such a nature that is curable but is not
susceptible of being cured with due diligence within such 30-day period (or
such shorter or longer cure period) (for reasons other than lack of funds),
then, under certain circumstances, such period shall be extended for such
further period of time (up to a maximum of 60 days) as may reasonably be
required to cure such default or breach;
(d) a proceeding or case shall be commenced, without the application
or consent of RIHF or RIH, in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking
(i) its liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or winding-up, or the
composition or readjustment of its debts, (ii) the appointment of a
trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator or the like of RIHF or RIH or of
all or any substantial part of its assets, or (iii) similar relief in
respect of RIHF or RIH under any law relating to bankruptcy,
134
<PAGE> 138
insolvency, reorganization, winding-up, or composition or adjustment of
debts, and such proceeding or case shall continue undismissed, or an order,
judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be
entered and continue unstayed and in effect, for a period of 60 consecutive
days;
(e) the commencement by RIHF or RIH of a voluntary case under the
federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable federal or state law, or
the consent or acquiescence by any of them to the filing of any such
petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar
official) of RIHF or RIH or any substantial part of any of their property,
or the making by any of them of an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or the taking of action by RIHF or RIH in furtherance of any such action;
(f) the revocation, suspension or involuntary loss of any Permit which
results in the cessation of a substantial portion of the operations of the
Resorts Casino Hotel for a period of more than 90 consecutive days;
(g) (i) a default by RIHF, RIH or any of their Subsidiaries under any
Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness represented by the Working
Capital Facility and the Junior Mortgage Facility in an aggregate principal
amount in excess of $5,000,000), which default results in the acceleration
of the maturity of any such Indebtedness under the evidence of
indebtedness, indenture or other instrument governing such Indebtedness;
provided, however, that, if such default under such evidence of
indebtedness, indenture or other instrument shall be cured by the obligor,
or be waived by the holders of such Indebtedness, in each case as may be
permitted by such evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other instrument
and in each case resulting in rescission of such acceleration thereunder,
then the Event of Default under the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture by
reason of such default shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon
cured or waived; or (ii) a default by RIHF, RIH or any of their
Subsidiaries under any Indebtedness represented by the Working Capital
Facility or the Junior Mortgage Facility, the effect of which default
(after the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods) is to
permit the holder or holders of any such Indebtedness represented by the
Working Capital Facility or the Junior Mortgage Facility in an aggregate
principal amount in excess of $5,000,000 (or a trustee or agent on behalf
of such holder or holders) to cause the acceleration of the maturity of
such Indebtedness represented by the Working Capital Facility or the Junior
Mortgage Facility under the evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other
instrument governing such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if such
default under such evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other instrument
shall be cured by the obligor, or be waived by the holders of such evidence
of indebtedness, indenture or other
135
<PAGE> 139
instrument (and, if such default resulted in the acceleration of the
maturity of such Indebtedness, such acceleration shall have been rescinded
thereunder), then the Event of Default under the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture by reason of such default shall be deemed likewise to have been
thereupon cured or waived; or (iii) the existence of a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction in an amount in excess of $3,000,000
against RIHF, RIH or the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate, which judgment
has not been satisfied or otherwise provided for, for a period of 30 days
(during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) following the date
on which such judgment becomes a lien against the Junior Mortgage Note
Trust Estate or any part thereof (unless the lawsuit in question was
commenced without effective service of process upon either RIHF or
RIH in which case such 30-day period shall not commence until RIHF or RIH
receives notice of such final judgment); or (iv) the existence of a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in an amount in excess of
$15,000,000 against RIHF, RIH or the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate,
which judgment has not been satisfied or otherwise provided for, for a
period of 60 days (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed)
following the date of such final judgment; or (v) the existence of a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, regardless of amount,
against RIHF, RIH or the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate, which judgment
has not been satisfied or otherwise provided for, for a period of 60 days
(during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) following the date
of such final judgment, if such judgment, by itself or upon recordation or
other action of the judgment creditor, imposes or would impose a lien on
the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate or any part thereof senior to the
lien of the RIH Junior Mortgage;
(h) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of RIHF or
RIH in connection with the provisions described in "Limitation on
Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease of Property and
Assets";
(i) the existence of a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
in an amount in excess of $3,000,000 against RIH regarding the CRDA
Dispute, which judgment has not been stayed, satisfied or otherwise
provided for, for a period of 30 days (during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed) (unless the lawsuit in question was commenced without
effective service of process upon RIH in which case such 30-day period
shall not commence until RIH receives notice of such final judgement); or
(j) if RII fails to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged, within 30 days before the same shall become delinquent, all
taxes levied or imposed upon RII; provided, however, that no Event of
Default or Default will be deemed to exist under the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture with respect to any tax liability not paid or discharged by RII
if and to the
136
<PAGE> 140
extent that the amount, applicability or validity of such tax
liability is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings if
adequate reserves therefor have been established in accordance with GAAP;
provided, further, however, that this paragraph shall not apply to amounts
due with respect to any period during which neither RIHF, RIH nor any of
their Subsidiaries is included in RII's consolidated group for Federal
income tax purposes. (Section 7.01);
If an Event of Default (other than one referred to in clause (d) or (e)
above) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Junior Mortgage
Note Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in Outstanding Amount and all
accrued interest of the Junior Mortgage Notes Outstanding may declare the
Outstanding Amount of all the Junior Mortgage Notes to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to RIHF (and to the Junior Mortgage Note
Trustee, if given by any Noteholders), and upon any such declaration such
Outstanding Amount shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of
Default referred to in clause (d) or (e) above occurs, then the Outstanding
Amount of all the Junior Mortgage Notes shall automatically become immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any
kind, all of which will be expressly waived by RIHF. (Section 7.02).
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, but
before any judgment or decree for payment of money due on any Junior Mortgage
Notes has been obtained by the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee, the Holders of a
majority in Outstanding Amount of the Junior Mortgage Notes may, by written
notice to RIHF and the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee, rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if: (a) RIHF has deposited with the Junior
Mortgage Note Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (1) all overdue installments of
interest on all Junior Mortgage Notes, (2) the principal of any Junior Mortgage
Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration
and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Junior
Mortgage Notes, and (3) all sums paid or advanced by the Junior Mortgage Note
Trustee and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee, its agents and counsel; and (b) all Events of
Default, other than the non-payment of the Outstanding Amount of the Junior
Mortgage Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or have been waived as provided in the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture. No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent default
or impair any right consequent thereon. (Section 7.02).

assets nor RIH with respect to the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate shall sell,
assign, convey or transfer its interest in such assets or the Junior Mortgage
Note Trust Estate, as the case may be, substantially as an entirety (and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture (including the proviso at the end of this sentence), but subject to
the provisions of the RIH Junior Mortgage regarding dispositions of the Junior
Mortgage Note Trust Estate, neither RIHF with respect to its assets nor RIH with
respect to the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate may sell, assign, convey or
transfer such assets or the Junior Mortgage Trust Estate, as the case may be,
other than substantially as an entirety) to any other Person or group of Persons

assets, subject to liabilities other than de minimis liabilities, to RIHF or
RIH; and RIHF and RIH shall not transfer, convey, sell or otherwise dispose of
to any other Person, or issue to any Person, any equity interest in RIHF or RIH,
as the case may be (each such transaction referred to as a "Combination
Transaction"); provided, however, that (i) RIHF may engage in a Combination
Transaction in which the only other party or parties is RIH or a direct or
indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of RIHF or RIH, and (ii) RIHF or RIH may engage
in any other Combination Transaction (either independently or at the same time
as other Combination Transactions), subject to the following with respect to
each such Combination Transaction: (a) immediately following such Combination
Transaction, (1) RIH (or any successor entity) shall be eligible for and shall
meet all relevant Legal Requirements, including holding all permits, required
for the normal operation of the business of owning and operating the Resorts
Casino Hotel, and (2) RIH (or any successor entity) shall be controlled by a
Person that is, or shall retain to manage the Resorts Casino Hotel one or more

(b) in the event RIHF or RIH shall consolidate, combine or merge with or into
another Person or sell, assign, convey or transfer its interest in its assets or
in the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate, as the case may be, substantially as
an entirety (but not less than substantially as an entirety) to another Person
in one transaction or a series of related transactions, the entity which is
formed by or survives such consolidation, combination or merger or the Person to
which such assets or the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate are conveyed or
transferred, (1) shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United
States of
138
<PAGE> 142
America, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (2) shall
expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental to the Junior Mortgage Note

Junior Mortgage Note Indenture to be performed or observed by RIHF or RIH,
whichever the case may be; (3) shall expressly assume, by an instrument executed
and delivered to the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee, the performance of every
covenant, obligation and condition of the Mortgage Documents and the Assignment
Agreement to be performed by RIHF or RIH, whichever the case may be; (4)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction could incur at least $1.00
of additional Indebtedness under the covenant described in
"Covenants -- Limitation on Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Notes"; (c)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, or
Default under the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture or under the RIH Junior
Mortgage, shall have occurred and be continuing; (d) such Combination
Transaction shall be on such terms as shall not impair the lien and security and
priority of the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture or of the Mortgage Documents or
of the Assignment Agreement and the rights and powers of the Junior Mortgage
Note Trustee and the Holders of the Junior Mortgage Notes thereunder; and (e)
RIHF or RIH, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Junior Mortgage
Note Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each of which
shall state that such Combination Transaction and such supplemental indenture
comply with the provisions of Article Ten of the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture
and that all conditions precedent provided for in the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. (Section 10.01).
Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the RIH Junior Mortgage and the
Junior Mortgage Note Indenture, neither RIHF nor RIH shall sell, assign, lease,
hypothecate, pledge, mortgage or otherwise transfer all or any part of the
assets of RIHF or the Junior Mortgage Note Trust Estate or any interest therein
(including without limitation any interest in the Ground Leases). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, RIH shall not separate, or attempt to
separate, its ownership of its interest in the Ground Leases from the ownership
of the buildings constituting the Resorts Casino Hotel or any part thereof.
(Section 10.04).
The foregoing limitations on consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or
lease of property and assets shall not apply in connection with an RIH Sale.
(Section 10.05).
DISCHARGE OF JUNIOR MORTGAGE NOTE INDENTURE
RIHF may terminate substantially all obligations under the Junior Mortgage
Note Indenture at any time by delivering all
139
<PAGE> 143
outstanding Junior Mortgage Notes to the Junior Mortgage Note Trustee for
cancellation and paying any other sums payable under the Junior Mortgage Note
Indenture. (Article Five).
MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE
From time to time, the parties to the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture,
without the consent of the Holders of the Junior Mortgage Notes, may enter into
one or more supplemental indentures for certain specified purposes, including
curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, provided such action does not
adversely affect the interests of any Holder. (Section 11.01). Modifications,
changes and amendments to the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture also may be made by
the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in
Outstanding Amount of the Junior Mortgage Notes then Outstanding, except that
without the consent of the Holder of each Junior Mortgage Note affected, no such
modification or alteration may (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal
of, or any installment of interest on, any Junior Mortgage Note, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or the premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or
change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Junior
Mortgage Note, or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
Date), (ii) reduce the percentage in Outstanding Amount of the Junior Mortgage
Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any amendment, supplement or
waiver, (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso of the definition of
the term "Outstanding", (iv) modify any of the provisions described in this
paragraph or, with certain exceptions, the provisions of the Junior Mortgage
Indenture regarding waiver of default, or (v) permit the creation of any lien
ranking prior to the lien of the RIH Junior Mortgage (except for such liens
expressly permitted pursuant to the covenant described under
"Covenants -- Limitations on Liens"). In addition, the Holders of 66 2/3% in
aggregate principal amount of the Mortgage Notes must consent to any amendment
of the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture allowing for the redemption of the Junior
Mortgage Notes prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date unless such
redemption is in connection with an RIH Sale. (Section 11.02).
TRUSTEE

required to file the same.
Pursuant to the Junior Mortgage Note Indenture, if RIH becomes exempt from
the Commission reporting and filing requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the

either or such provisions were applicable, and (ii) keep copies of such periodic
reports available at its office and promptly provide any Person who so requests
with a copy of any such periodic report, at RIHF's expense.
Each of RIHF and RIH shall comply with the provisions of sec. 314(a) of the
TIA.
RIHF will deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of any

DESCRIPTION OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK
GENERAL
RII is a Delaware corporation that has two classes of authorized and
outstanding common stock; the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock. The
Class B Common Stock may only be issued as part of the Units and is essentially
a non-participating stock that entitles its holders to elect two directors (the
"Class B Directors") to the RII Board of Directors. THE CLASS B COMMON STOCK
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED SEPARATELY FROM THE RELATED JUNIOR MORTGAGE NOTES. All
the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable.
CASINO CONTROL ACT REGULATION
The Class B Common Stock is subject to the qualification, divestiture and
redemption provisions under the Casino Control Act that are described in
"Description of Business - Regulation and Gaming Taxes and Fees".
DESCRIPTION OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK
Number of Shares Authorized. Up to 120,000 shares of Class B Common Stock
are authorized. Authorized and unissued shares of Class B Common Stock will be
issued only as part of Units that are issuable if Payments-In-Kind are made
with respect to the Junior Mortgage Notes.
Dividends. The holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to
participate in any dividends which may be declared by RII's Board of Directors.
149
<PAGE> 153
Redemption. Upon the redemption, or cancellation following the purchase
thereof, of each $1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes, RII will
redeem, at a price of $.01 per share, the share of Class B Common Stock issued
as a Unit with each $1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes. The
Class B Common Stock also is subject to redemption if a holder is required to
qualify under the Casino Control Act and refuses or fails to so qualify and
subsequently fails to divest itself of such Class B Common Stock.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of RII, the holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to share ratably
with the holders of the Common Stock in all assets remaining after payments of
liabilities and liquidation preferences, if any, to the extent of the $.01 par
value per share of each such class.
Restrictions of Transfer. Each share of Class B Common Stock will be
issued as part of a Unit with each $1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage
Notes and may not be transferred separately from such Junior Mortgage Note.
Election of Directors. Holders of the Class B Common Stock are entitled to
elect one-third of the entire RII Board of Directors (or following the Class B
Triggering Event in connection with the Junior Mortgage Notes, a majority of
the entire RII Board of Directors).

voting rights, except (i) in the election of directors by the holders of the
Class B Common Stock as described above, (ii) to the extent required under the
Delaware General Corporation Law, and (iii) with respect to certain amendments
to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and
Restated By-laws of RII that would affect the Class B Common Stock.
Preemptive Rights. None.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion describes all of the material Federal income tax
consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Mortgage Notes and
Units consisting of Junior Mortgage Notes and Class B Common Stock
(collectively, the "Debt Securities"), and, to the extent that it relates to
matters of law and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations
stated herein, constitutes the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, special tax
counsel to the Company ("Counsel"). The following discussion does not include
all matters that may be relevant to any particular holder in light of such
holder's particular facts and
150
<PAGE> 154
circumstances. Certain holders, including financial institutions,
broker-dealers, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies and foreign persons
may be subject to special rules not discussed below. The discussion assumes
that holders hold their Debt Securities as "capital assets" (generally property
held for investments) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax Code").
The discussion and opinions set forth in this section "Certain Federal
Income Tax Considerations" are based upon the provisions of the Tax Code,
final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder,
and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect as of
the date hereof and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a
retroactive basis) by legislation, administrative action or judicial decision.
No rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") have been or will
be requested with respect to any of the tax issues discussed herein.
EACH INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS OWN TAX ADVISER CONCERNING THE
SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTORS OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING
OF THE DEBT SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL,
FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS.
TREATMENT OF THE DEBT SECURITIES AS DEBT OF RIH FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES
Whether the formal, or nominal, obligor of any given instrument will be
treated as the obligor of the instrument for Federal income tax purposes
depends upon all of the facts and circumstances, and no single characteristic
or factor is determinative. Where the nominal obligor exists solely to be the
nominal issuer of the instrument and the instrument is "mirrored" by an
instrument with virtually identical terms issued by a related party, the
Service will closely scrutinize the reality of the nominal obligor's
"obligation." In addition, there is substantial authority in the law for the
position that, where a person issues a debt obligation to a third party
pursuant to a disclosed nominee arrangement with a related person, the debt can
be deemed to be indebtedness of the related person for Federal income tax
purposes, provided that certain formalities are observed. The substantial
authority standard is an objective standard involving an analysis of the law
and the application of the law to the relevant facts, and is less stringent
than the more likely than not standard. There is substantial authority for the
tax treatment of an item only if the weight of the authority supporting the
treatment is substantial in relation to the weight of authority supporting
contrary treatment, taking all relevant authorities into account. There may be
substantial authority for more than one position.
151
<PAGE> 155
With respect to the Debt Securities, a conclusion that RIHF rather than RIH
is the true obligor for Federal income tax purposes would disregard totally the
economic substance of the transaction and would elevate "empty forms" over
substance, something the courts generally have not done. Counsel does note,
however, that generally a validly formed and maintained corporate entity will
not be ignored for Federal income tax purposes, and the courts have held
taxpayers to strict standards when such taxpayers have sought to disregard the
form of the transaction chosen by them. Accordingly, although the issue is not
free from doubt, based upon the foregoing factors, the issuance of the RIH
Mortgage and the RIH Junior Mortgage to support the Debt Securities, the
identical terms (when combined with the RIH Mortgages) of the RIH Promissory
Note and the RIHF Mortgage Notes, and of the RIH Junior Promissory Note and the
RIHF Junior Mortgage Notes, the existence of the Nominee Agreement between RIHF
and RIH and the fact that at all times the assets of RIH will be the ultimate
and only source of payment on the Debt Securities, the Company has taken the
position for Federal income tax purposes that the Debt Securities are to be
treated as obligations of RIH for Federal income tax purposes, and the
following discussion assumes such treatment.
If, however, the Service were to treat RIHF, the formal obligor of the Debt
Securities, as the obligor for Federal income tax purposes, such treatment
should not materially adversely affect the treatment of the Mortgage Notes or
the Junior Mortgage Notes as debt for Federal income tax purposes, as discussed
below (see "- Classification of Debt Securities as Debt Rather than Equity").
CLASSIFICATION OF DEBT SECURITIES AS DEBT RATHER THAN EQUITY
Whether an instrument constitutes debt or equity for Federal income tax
purposes is an inherently factual question, and no single characteristic is
determinative. Based upon an analysis of the applicable legal authorities, it
is more likely than not that the Mortgage Notes will be treated as debt, and
there is substantial authority that the Junior Mortgage Notes will be treated
as debt obligations for Federal income tax purposes, and the following
discussion assumes such treatment in both such cases.
Due to the factual nature of the determination as to the treatment of
instruments such as the Debt Securities, however, there can be no assurance
that in either of such cases the Service would not challenge such treatment of
the Debt Securities as indebtedness, or that a court would not sustain such a
challenge. If it were determined that any of the Debt Securities constitute
equity for Federal income tax purposes, then (a) payments of interest on such
Debt Securities would not be deductible by the Company and could be taxed as
dividend income
152
<PAGE> 156
to the holders; (b) payments of principal on such Debt Securities would be
treated as redemption distributions under Section 302 of the Tax Code, which
could result in either gain or dividend income to the holders; and (c) certain
corporate holders may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction with
respect to payments of principal or interest that are taxed as dividends. The
loss of the interest deduction with respect to all or a portion of the Debt
Securities also would increase the Company's taxable income, resulting in a
greater utilization of the Company's net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers and,
ultimately, potentially substantially increasing the Company's Federal income
tax liability sooner than currently anticipated.
OID WITH RESPECT TO THE NEW DEBT SECURITIES
On February 2, 1994, the Service issued regulations (the "Regulations")
relating to the determination and treatment of OID with respect to debt
instruments. The regulations are effective for debt obligations issued on or
after April 3, 1994.
In general, subject to a de minimis rule, a debt obligation will be treated
as being issued with OID if there exists a difference between the "stated
redemption price at maturity" of the instrument and such instrument's "issue
price."
The stated redemption price at maturity of a debt obligation is the
aggregate of all payments due to the holder under such debt obligation at or
prior to its maturity date, other than interest that is actually and
unconditionally payable in cash or property at a single fixed (or a qualified
floating) rate (or a permitted combination of the two) at least annually
(qualified stated interest payments or "QSIPs"). Interest is payable at a
single fixed rate only if the rate appropriately takes into account the length
of the interval between payments. QSIPs are included in income at the time they
are accrued or received, in accordance with the holder's usual method of
accounting for Federal income tax purposes.
Pursuant to Section 1273(a)(3) of the Tax Code and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder, if the OID with respect to an obligation is de minimis,
i.e., less than .25% of the obligation's stated redemption price at maturity
multiplied by the number of complete years from the issue date to the maturity
date, the amount of OID with respect to such obligation is considered to be
zero.
Under the Regulations, the determination of the issue price of a debt
obligation will depend, in part, on whether such obligation, or the property
for which the debt obligation is exchanged, is treated as "traded on an
established market" at any time during the 60-day period ending 30 days after
the issue date (the "Trading Testing Period"). If the debt obligation is listed
153
<PAGE> 157
on an established exchange, or such debt obligation is otherwise traded on an
established market, the issue price of the debt obligation will be the fair
market value of such obligation as of the issue date (i.e., the trading price).
If the debt obligation is not treated as "traded on an established market" the
issue price will equal the fair market value, as of the issue date, of the
portion of the property deemed to be exchanged therefor, assuming such property
is listed or deemed to be so traded.
In the case of the Mortgage Notes, interest will be payable in cash on a
semi-annual basis, commencing on September 15, 1994. Such semi-annual interest
payments on the Mortgage Notes should qualify as QSIPs. Moreover, the Company
has taken the position that the difference between the fair market value of the
Mortgage Notes and the stated redemption price at maturity of such Notes
exceeded the statutory de minimis amount. Therefore, the Mortgage Notes will
be treated as issued with OID.
In the case of the Junior Mortgage Notes, interest is payable on a
semi-annual basis commencing on December 15, 1994 in cash, or, under certain
circumstances, in kind. Because interest on such notes may, under certain
circumstances, be paid through the issuance of additional Payment-In-Kind notes
and the rate of interest of such Payment-In-Kind notes will be the same as the
rate of interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes, none of the interest payments on
the Junior Mortgage Notes will qualify as QSIPs, and such notes, therefore,
have been treated as issued with OID.
Although the issue is not free from doubt, the Company also has taken the
position that the provisions of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Tax Code (relating to
debt instruments issued as part of an "investment unit") do not apply in
determining the issue price of the Debt Securities. If, however, the provisions
of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Tax Code were held to apply to any of the Debt
Securities, and the Debt Securities were found to have been issued as part of
an investment unit, under the Regulations the issue price of an investment unit
is to be allocated between (or among) the unit's components based on their
relative fair market values. The issuer's allocation of the issue price of the
investment unit is binding on all holders of the investment unit except for the
holder who explicitly discloses (on such holder's Federal income tax return for
the year in which the investment unit is acquired) that such holder's
allocation of the issue price of the investment unit is different from the
issuer's allocation. (Because the Company has taken the position that none of
the Debt Securities should be treated as having been issued as part of a
investment unit for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Tax Code and
calculate and report OID with respect to the Debt Securities accordingly, a
holder wishing to take a different position should consult such holder's own
tax advisor.)
154
<PAGE> 158
CONSEQUENCES IF THE DEBT SECURITIES ARE ISSUED WITH OID
When a Debt Security is issued with OID, a holder, subject to the
adjustments discussed below, must include in gross income for Federal income
tax purposes the sum of the daily portions of OID for each day during the
taxable year or portion thereof during which the holder holds the Debt
Security, whether or not the holder actually receives a payment relating to OID
in such years. The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day of the
relevant "accrual period" a pro rata portion of an amount equal to (a) the
product of (i) the "adjusted issue price" of the Debt Securities at the
beginning of each accrual period, multiplied by (ii) the yield to maturity of
the Debt Security (determined by semi-annual compounding) less (b) the sum of
any QSIPs during the accrual period. The adjusted issue price of a Debt
Security at the beginning of any accrual period is its issue price increased by
all accrued OID for prior accrual periods and decreased by the amount of any
payment previously made on the Debt Security other than a QSIP. The accrual
period for a Debt Security (except for any initial short period) is each
six-month period which ends on the date in each calendar year corresponding to
the maturity date of the Debt Securities or the date six months before such
maturity date.
Therefore, prospective holders of the Debt Securities should be aware that
a holder will be required to include OID in income as such OID accrues,
regardless of the holders' method of accounting and regardless of when such
holder receives cash payments relating to the OID. A holder's tax basis in a
Debt Security will be increased by the amount of OID included in the holder's
income and reduced by the amount of all interest payments on the Debt Security
that are not QSIPs.
Under the Regulations, the issuance of Payment-In-Kind notes in lieu of a
cash payment does not constitute payment. (As discussed in the preceding
paragraphs, a cash payment (other than a payment that is QSIP) is not treated
as interest but rather reduces the adjusted issue price of the instrument).
Accordingly, the Company intends to treat, for Federal income tax purposes, the
issuance of any Payment-In-Kind notes in lieu of a cash payment of interest as
not constituting a payment of interest with respect to the Junior Mortgage
Notes. Moreover, since each holder of a Junior Mortgage Note will recognize, as
ordinary income, through the accrual of OID, the full amount of interest with
respect to the Junior Mortgage Notes (as well as with respect to any
Payment-In-Kind notes issued in payment of interest with respect to such
Notes), such holder generally should not also recognize additional ordinary
income upon receipt of a Payment-In-Kind note or a cash payment of stated
interest.
Further, the Regulations treat a Junior Mortgage Note and any additional
debt instrument issued with respect thereto (such as a
155
<PAGE> 159
Payment-In-Kind note) as part of the same debt issue. Accordingly, the adjusted
basis and adjusted issue price of a Junior Mortgage Note would be allocated
between such Junior Mortgage Note and any Payment-In-Kind notes received with
respect thereto, based on their respective principal amounts. The Regulations
treat payments made with respect to Payment-In-Kind notes as payments made on
the Junior Mortgage Note.
A subsequent purchaser of a Debt Security issued with OID who purchases the
note at a cost less than the remaining stated redemption price at maturity but
greater than its adjusted issue price immediately before such purchase (a
purchase of an "acquisition premium") also will be required to include in gross
income the sum of the daily portions of OID on that Debt Security. In
computing the daily portions of OID for such a purchaser, however, the daily
portion is reduced by the amount that would be the daily portion for such day
(computed in accordance with the rules set forth above) multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the amount, if any, by which the holder's
basis in the Debt Security on the date of purchase exceeds the adjusted issue
price of the Debt Security at that time, and the denominator of which is the
sum of the daily portions for that Debt Security for all days beginning on the
date after the purchase date and ending on the maturity date.
A purchaser of a Debt Security who purchases the Debt Security at a cost
greater than its remaining stated redemption price at maturity will be
considered to have purchased the Debt Security at a premium, and may elect to
amortize such premium under a constant yield method. Such an election would
apply to all taxable bonds held at or acquired after the beginning of the
holder's taxable year as to which the election is made, and may be revoked only
with the consent of the Service. The Tax Code provides that amortizable premium
will be treated (except as provided in U.S. Treasury regulations) as an offset
to interest income for all purposes rather than as a separate interest
deduction item.
The Company is required to furnish annually to the Service and to each
holder information regarding the amount of OID attributable to that year.
SALE, EXCHANGE OR REDEMPTION
Upon the sale, exchange or redemption of a Debt Security for cash, a holder
generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount of cash received and the holder's adjusted basis in such
property, except to the extent that the amount realized is attributable to
accrued interest, OID or taxable dividends not previously included in income,
which amount will be taxed as ordinary income. Assuming that the holder holds
the property as a capital asset, such gain
156
<PAGE> 160
or loss will be capital gain or loss except (in the case of a Debt Security) to
the extent of any accrued market discount (see "Market Discount" below), and
will be long-term capital gain or loss if the property has been held for more
than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or redemption.
Under the Regulations, an unscheduled payment made on a debt instrument
such as a Debt Security prior to maturity that results in a substantial pro
rata reduction of each payment of principal and interest remaining on the
instrument is treated as a payment in retirement of a portion of the
instrument, which may result in gain or loss to the holder. The gain or loss is
calculated by treating the debt obligation as consisting of two instruments,
one that is retired and one that remains outstanding, and by allocating the
adjusted issue price, the holder's adjusted basis and the accrued but unpaid
qualified stated interest between the two instruments based upon the portion of
the obligation that is treated as retired by the pro rata prepayment.
MARKET DISCOUNT
A holder of a Debt Security generally will be required to treat any gain
recognized on the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the Debt
Security as ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market discount. The
market discount rules also provide that a holder who acquires a Debt Security
at a market discount may be required to defer a portion of any interest expense
that may otherwise be deductible on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to
purchase or carry such Debt Security until the holder disposes of the Debt
Security in a taxable transaction.
"Market discount" can be defined generally as the excess of the stated
redemption price at maturity of a Debt Security (adjusted to exclude any
unaccrued OID) over the holder's tax basis in the Debt Security immediately
after its acquisition. In addition, under a de minimis exception, the amount of
market discount is considered to be zero if it is less than the product of .25%
of the stated redemption price of the Debt Security at maturity (possibly
adjusted to exclude unaccrued OID) multiplied by the number of complete years
from acquisition to maturity. Market discount generally will accrue ratably
during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the Debt
Security, unless the holder elects to accrue such discount on the basis of the
constant yield method.
A holder of a Debt Security acquired at a market discount may elect to
include the market discount in income as interest as it accrues, in which case
the foregoing rules would not apply. This election would apply to all Debt
Securities with market discount acquired by the electing holder on or after the
first day of the
157
<PAGE> 161
first taxable year to which the election applies. The election may be revoked
only with the consent of the Service.
POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF HIGH YIELD DEBT OBLIGATION RULES
As noted above, the Junior Mortgage Notes and the Mortgage Notes were
issued with original issue discount for Federal income tax purposes. Under the
"AHYDO" rules contained in Sections 163(e) and (i) of the Tax Code, if a debt
obligation with a term of more than five years has "significant" OID, and has a
yield to maturity of five percentage points or more in excess of a specified
rate (generally the U.S. Treasury note rate for instruments of similar
maturities), interest deductions with respect to OID accruing on such
instrument may be deferred until such OID is paid in cash, or, if the yield to
maturity exceeds six percentage points above the specified rate, the deduction
for such excess may be denied completely and the OID may be treated as dividend
income for purposes of the dividend received deduction, rather than interest
income, to the holder (provided the issuer has adequate earnings and profits to
support such a dividend). The Junior Mortgage Notes and the Mortgage Notes were
issued with significant OID. Based upon the applicable federal rate in effect
on the date the Debt Securities were issued, the Company has taken the position
that the AHYDO rules will apply to accruals of OID on the Mortgage Notes and
the Junior Mortgage Notes.
BACKUP WITHHOLDING
Under the Tax Code, a holder of a Debt Security may be subject, under
certain circumstances, to "backup withholding" at a rate of 31% with respect to
payments in respect of interest and OID thereon or the gross proceeds from the
disposition thereof. This withholding generally applies only if the holder (i)
fails to furnish his or her social security or other taxpayer identification
number ("TIN"), (ii) furnishes an incorrect TIN, (iii) is notified by the
Service that he or she has failed to report properly payments of interest and
dividends and the Service has notified the Company that he or she is subject to
backup withholding, or (iv) fails, under certain circumstances, to provide a
certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the TIN provided in
its correct number and that it is not subject to backup withholding. Any amount
withheld from a payment to a holder under the backup withholding rules does not
constitute additional tax, and is allowable as a credit against such holder's
Federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is
furnished to the Service. Holders of Debt Securities should consult their tax
advisers as to their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and
the procedure for obtaining such an exemption.

LITIGATION
U.S. District Court - Friedman and Rogers Actions
RII has been named as the nominal defendant in an action (Arthur M.
Friedman suing derivatively on behalf of RII v. Merv Griffin et al. and RII,
Nominal Defendant) brought derivatively on its behalf by a shareholder, Arthur
M. Friedman. The complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, New York County on January 27, 1994 and was amended in February 1994.
The defendants in the action, as amended, are Merv Griffin, Griffin Group,
Thomas E. Gallagher, David P. Hanlon, who was President, Chief Executive
Officer and a director of RII through October 31, 1993, and four former
directors of RII who served in that capacity until the Effective Date. The
complaint seeks to recover for the Company an unspecified sum of money as
compensatory damages for allegedly wrongful acts by the defendants. The
allegations include that the defendants improperly (i) permitted defendant
Griffin not to repay money he allegedly owed to the Company and (ii) paid
defendant Hanlon excessive compensation.
On April 26, 1994, RII removed this action to the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York (the "District Court"). On May 26, 1994, RII
filed a motion to transfer the action to the Bankruptcy Court. On February 6,
1995, Arthur M. Friedman filed a Supplemental Memorandum in opposition to
RII's motion to transfer. The District Court presently has the motion to
transfer under advisement.
RII has been named as a nominal defendant in a purported class action
brought by Nathan Rogers, a shareholder of RII, which action names essentially
the same defendants as the Friedman action. Rogers alleges a violation of
section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act for allegedly false and misleading
proxy statements used to elect directors and auditors at the 1991 and 1992
shareholder meetings. Rogers has also brought a claim derivatively on behalf
of RII alleging that defendants improperly permitted defendant Griffin not to
repay money he allegedly owed to the Company. The complaint seeks, among other
things, the appointment of a receiver until after election of new directors and
an unspecified sum of money as compensatory damages to RII for allegedly
wrongful acts by the defendants.
The Company has not been served in this action and, therefore, has not
prepared a response.
U.S. District Court Action - RII v. Lowenschuss
In September 1989 RII filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania to recover certain sums paid to the defendant,
as trustee for two Individual
159
<PAGE> 163
Retirement Accounts and the Fred Lowenschuss Associates Pension Plan, for RII
stock in the 1988 merger, in which RII was acquired by Merv Griffin. This
action was transferred to the Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey
(the "NJ Bankruptcy Court") in connection with the Company's former bankruptcy
case commenced there in 1989.
In February 1992, the NJ Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion granting
partial summary judgment in favor of RII on one of its six causes of action.
The NJ Bankruptcy Court reserved the issue of remedies for trial.
In August 1992, Fred Lowenschuss filed for chapter 11 reorganization in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the "Nevada Bankruptcy
Court"). As a result, the NJ Bankruptcy Court stayed RII's action against
Lowenschuss.
The Nevada Bankruptcy Court confirmed Fred Lowenschuss' plan of
reorganization in October 1993. RII appealed certain portions of the
confirmation order and other orders of the Nevada Bankruptcy Court. In June
1994, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (the "Nevada District
Court") granted RII's appeal in all respects. Fred Lowenschuss has appealed
the Nevada District Court's decision and order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Ninth Circuit.
The foregoing litigation and bankruptcy proceedings have spawned additional
and related litigation including an injunction action brought by Fred
Lowenschuss wherein the Nevada Bankruptcy Court enjoined RII from proceeding
against Fred Lowenschuss individually, a malicious prosecution action brought
by Fred Lowenschuss against RII and its counsel that was recently dismissed by
the Nevada Bankruptcy Court and an action filed by Laurance Lowenschuss, as
trustee of the Fred Lowenschuss Associates Pension Plan, in the Nevada District
Court against RII that was recently transferred to the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. RII has appealed the Nevada injunction,
Fred Lowenschuss has appealed the dismissal of his malicious prosecution action
and RII has moved to transfer the Lawrence Lowenschuss action to the NJ
Bankruptcy Court for consolidation with its pending action in that court.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
GENERAL
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the
Selling Securityholders of the Mortgage Notes or Units offered hereby. Such
securities, which are listed on the
161
<PAGE> 165
AMEX, may be sold by the Selling Securityholders in ordinary brokerage
transactions on the AMEX or otherwise at prices prevailing at the time of sale
or at such other prices as may be negotiated among the parties. Any or all of
the Mortgage Notes or Units may be sold from time to time to purchasers
directly by any of the Selling Securityholders. Alternatively, the Selling
Securityholders may from time to time offer their Mortgage Notes or Units
through dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholders and/or
the purchasers of the Mortgage Notes or Units for whom they act as agents. The
Selling Securityholders and any such dealers or agents that participate in the
distribution of the Mortgage Notes or Units may be deemed to be underwriters
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the
Mortgage Notes or Units by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions
received by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act. The Mortgage Notes and Units may be sold from time to
time in one or more transactions at a fixed offering price, which may be
changed, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated
prices. Such prices will be determined by the Selling Securityholders or by an
agreement between the Selling Securityholders and dealers. Brokers or dealers
acting in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Notes or Units contemplated
by this Prospectus may receive fees or commissions in connection therewith.
At the time a particular offer of Mortgage Notes or Units is made, to
the extent required, a supplement to this Prospectus will be prepared which
will identify and set forth the terms of the offering, including the name or
names of any dealers or agents, the purchase price paid for Mortgage Notes or
Units as the case may be, purchased from the Selling Securityholders, any
discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from the
Selling Securityholders, and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed
or reallowed or paid to dealers, including the proposed selling price to the
public. Such supplement to this Prospectus and, if necessary, a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part,
will be filed with the Commission to reflect the disclosure of additional
information with respect to the distribution of the Mortgage Notes and Units.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any
person engaged in a distribution of the Mortgage Notes or Units may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Mortgage
Notes or Units, as the case may be, for a period of nine business days prior to
the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the
foregoing, the Selling Securityholders and any person participating in the
distribution of the Mortgage Notes or Units will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange
162
<PAGE> 166
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without limitation
Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of the Mortgage Notes or Units by the Selling Securityholders or any
other person.
In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if
applicable, the Mortgage Notes or Units will be sold in such jurisdictions only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states the
Mortgage Notes and Units may not be sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in such state, or unless an exemption from registration or
qualification is available.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 29,
1994, among RIHF, RII and RIH, and Fidelity and TCW (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), the Company agreed to file the Registration Statement, of which
this Prospectus is a part, with the Commission and use its best efforts to have
it declared effective. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement,
substantially all of the expenses of the offering will be paid by the Company.
Furthermore, the Company has agreed to keep the Registration Statement
continuously effective, subject to certain blackout periods, for a period of up
to two years following the Effective Date. In addition, the Company and the
Selling Securityholders are obligated to indemnify each other against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Resorts International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Resorts International, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Resorts International, Inc. at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The term "Company" as used herein includes Resorts International, Inc.
("RII") and/or one or more of its subsidiaries, as the context may require.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RII and
all significant subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounts of foreign
subsidiaries were maintained in U.S. dollars.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records as revenue the win from casino gaming activities
which represents the difference between amounts wagered and amounts won by
patrons. Revenues from hotel and related services and from theater ticket
sales are recognized at the time the related service is performed.
Complimentary Services
The Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect each category of
operating revenues excluding the retail value of complimentary services
provided to casino patrons without charge. The rooms, food and beverage, and
other casino/hotel operations departments allocate a percentage of their total
operating expenses to the casino department for complimentary services provided
to casino patrons. These allocations do not necessarily represent the
incremental cost of providing such complimentary services to casino patrons.
Amounts allocated to the casino department from the other operating departments
were as follows:

</TABLE>
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all of its short-term money market
F - 8
<PAGE> 175
securities purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value
due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Inventories
Inventories of provisions, supplies and spare parts are carried at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.
Casino Reinvestment Development Authority ("CRDA") Obligations
Under the New Jersey Casino Control Act ("Casino Control Act"), the
Company is obligated to purchase CRDA bonds, which will bear a below-market
interest rate, or make an alternative qualifying investment. The Company
charges to expense an estimated discount related to CRDA investment obligations
as of the date the obligation arises based on fair market interest rates of
similar quality bonds in existence as of that date. On the date the Company
actually purchases the CRDA bond, the estimated discount previously recorded is
adjusted to reflect the actual terms of the bonds issued and the then existing
fair market interest rate for similar quality bonds.
The discount on CRDA bonds purchased is amortized to interest income
over the life of the bonds using the effective interest rate method.
Payment-In-Kind ("PIK") Interest Accrual
When the Company elects to satisfy its interest obligations through
PIK instead of cash interest payments, for financial statement purposes, such
interest is accrued at the estimated market value of the securities to be
issued. The discount resulting from the difference between face value and
estimated market value of the additional securities decreases interest expense
of the current period and is amortized to expense over the remaining life of
the issue.
Income Taxes
RII and all of its domestic subsidiaries file consolidated U.S.
federal income tax returns.
F - 9
<PAGE> 176
For the year 1992 the Company accounted for income taxes under the
liability method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
96 ("SFAS 96"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, the deferred
tax liability is determined based on the difference between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and enacted tax rates which
will be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse. The deferred tax liability is reduced by cumulative tax credits and
losses being carried forward for tax purposes, subject to applicable
limitations.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS
109 supersedes SFAS 96 but retains the liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Among other changes, SFAS 109 changed the recognition and
measurement criteria for deferred tax assets included in SFAS 96.
There are no income taxes in The Bahamas and the income of RII's
former subsidiaries in The Bahamas was generally not subject to U.S. federal
income taxation until it was distributed to a U.S. parent. Deferred federal
income taxes were provided on the undistributed earnings of Bahamian
subsidiaries until their disposition.
Per Share Data
Per share data was computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding.
NOTE 2 - RESTRUCTURING OF SENIOR SECURED REDEEMABLE NOTES
DUE APRIL 15, 1994 (THE "SERIES NOTES")
The outstanding principal amount of the Series Notes, which were
scheduled to mature on April 15, 1994, was $481,907,000. According to the
terms of the Series Notes, the interest due on the maturity date would have
been approximately $36,000,000 and RII's total obligation at maturity would
have amounted to approximately $518,000,000. Over the past several years
various factors adversely affected the Company's ability to satisfy its
obligations under the Series Notes. In late 1991 the Company began working
with its financial advisers on developing and analyzing financial alternatives,
as well as developing a long-term financial plan. In this connection,
management of the Company, with the assistance of its legal and financial
advisers, commenced discussions in the summer of 1992 with representatives of
major holders of Series Notes, Fidelity Management & Research Company
("Fidelity") and The TCW Group, Inc. ("TCW"), in an effort to reach an
agreement as to the terms of a possible restructuring of the Series Notes.
Further negotiations were conducted among the Company, Fidelity, TCW and an
unrelated party Sun International Investments Limited ("SIIL") regarding SIIL's
acquisition of a 60% interest in the Company's
F - 10
<PAGE> 177
Paradise Island assets (the "SIHL Sale") through a subsidiary of SIIL, Sun
International Hotels Limited ("SIHL"), formed for that purpose.
In October 1993 RII and three of its subsidiaries, Resorts
International Hotel, Inc. ("RIH," the company which owns and operates Merv
Griffin's Resorts Casino Hotel (the "Resorts Casino Hotel") in Atlantic City,
New Jersey), Resorts International Hotel Financing, Inc. ("RIHF") and P.I.
Resorts Limited ("PIRL"), filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. That Registration Statement, as amended,
described in detail the restructuring (the "Restructuring") which RII and GGRI,
Inc. ("GGRI"), RII's subsidiary which guaranteed the Series Notes, proposed to
accomplish through a prepackaged bankruptcy joint plan of reorganization (the
"Plan"). On March 21, 1994, after receiving the requisite acceptances for
confirmation of the Plan from holders of Series Notes and equity interests in
RII, RII and GGRI filed their prepackaged bankruptcy cases with the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court").
In accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," the Company stopped
accruing interest and amortizing discounts on the Series Notes as of March 21,
1994.
The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 22, 1994 and
on May 3, 1994 (the "Effective Date"), all conditions to the effectiveness of
the Plan were either met or waived and the Plan became effective. Pursuant to
the Plan, among other things, the Company exchanged the Series Notes for (i)
$160,000,000 principal amount of New Debt Securities (see below), (ii) 40% of
the common stock of RII (the "RII Common Stock") on a fully diluted basis
(excluding certain stock options), (iii) the proceeds from the SIHL Sale, (iv)
the Company's Excess Cash, as defined in the Plan, which approximated
$34,500,000 and (v) rights to receive further cash distributions in certain
circumstances.
Excess Cash was essentially all the Company's non-restricted cash and
equivalents on the Effective Date in excess of (i) $20,000,000, (ii) cash
balances to be transferred as part of the SIHL Sale and (iii) estimated cash
balances required to pay certain recapitalization costs and other expenses
provided for in the Plan. Included in Excess Cash was a $2,542,000
distribution that RII received in March 1994 from a litigation trust (the
"Litigation Trust") established under a previous plan of reorganization to
pursue certain claims against a former affiliate. Such distribution was
described in the Plan as "Deferred Cash."
In July 1994, upon completion of the audit of certain settlement
adjustments regarding the SIHL Sale, $1,005,000 of the cash transferred in the
SIHL Sale was returned to the Company.
F - 11
<PAGE> 178
These funds were described in the Plan as "Net Reserved Cash."
In October 1994, after settlement of the majority of recapitalization
costs and updating estimates of unbilled costs and costs still to be incurred,
the Company determined that the cash balance required to pay such costs was
$1,300,000 less than originally anticipated. These excess funds were described
in the Plan as "Net Plan Consummation Cash." After obtaining Bankruptcy Court
approval to disburse the Net Plan Consummation Cash, a distribution in the
amount of $2,214,000 was made to holders of the Series Notes in December 1994,
which amount represented the Net Reserved Cash and the Net Plan Consummation
Cash, net of an adjustment to a prior distribution.
The difference between the carrying value of the Series Notes and the
sum of the fair values of the items exchanged therefor resulted in a gain of
$186,000,000 which has been reported as an extraordinary item.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into the senior note
purchase agreement (the "Senior Facility") described below. Also, in
connection with the Restructuring (i) the Company prepaid fees of $2,310,000
due The Griffin Group, Inc. (the "Griffin Group"), a corporation controlled by
Merv Griffin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of RII, under a license and
services agreement (the "Griffin Services Agreement") by applying such amount
as a reduction of the balance of a note receivable from Griffin Group (the
"Group Note"); (ii) Griffin Group repaid the then remaining balance,
$3,008,000, of the Group Note (which was distributed to holders of the Series
Notes as part of Excess Cash); (iii) RII issued a warrant, which is exercisable
through May 3, 1998, to purchase 4,666,850 shares of RII Common Stock at $1.20
per share to an affiliate of Griffin Group (the "Griffin Warrant"); (iv) the
RII Senior Management Stock Option Plan (the "1990 SOP") was terminated,
although holders of options granted under that plan established in 1990 retain
their options; (v) the RII 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 SOP") was adopted
(see Note 9) and (vi) RII increased its authorized shares of RII Common Stock
to 100,000,000 and authorized 120,000 shares of Class B redeemable common stock
(the "Class B Stock") and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
For pro forma effects of the Restructuring on continuing operations
assuming the Restructuring occurred on January 1, 1994 see "PRO FORMA FINANCIAL
DATA - RII."
New Debt Securities
The "New Debt Securities" consist of $125,000,000 principal amount of
11% Mortgage Notes (the "Mortgage Notes") due September 15, 2003 and
$35,000,000 principal amount of 11.375% Junior Mortgage Notes (the "Junior
Mortgage Notes") due December 15, 2004. The New Debt Securities were issued by
RIHF and are guaranteed by RIH. The accrual of interest and amortization of
discounts on the New Debt Securities commenced on May 3, 1994.
The Mortgage Notes are secured by a $125,000,000 promissory note made
by RIH (the "RIH Promissory Note"), the terms of which mirror the terms of the
Mortgage Notes. The RIH Promissory Note and RIH's guaranty of the Mortgage
Notes are secured by liens on the Resorts Casino Hotel, consisting of RIH's fee
and leasehold
F - 12
<PAGE> 179
interests in the Resorts Casino Hotel, the contiguous parking garage and
property, all additions and improvements thereto, and related personal
property. The liens securing the Mortgage Notes will be subordinated to the
lien securing the Senior Facility Notes (described below), if the Senior
Facility Notes are issued.
The Junior Mortgage Notes were issued as part of units (the "Units")
with Class B Stock. In certain circumstances, interest payable on the Junior
Mortgage Notes may be satisfied by the issuance of additional Units. The
Junior Mortgage Notes are secured by a $35,000,000 promissory note made by RIH
(the "RIH Junior Promissory Note"), the terms of which mirror the terms of the
Junior Mortgage Notes. The RIH Junior Promissory Note and RIH's guaranty of
the Junior Mortgage Notes are also secured by liens on the Resorts Casino Hotel
property as described above. The liens securing the Junior Mortgage Notes will
be subordinated to the lien securing the Senior Facility Notes, if the Senior
Facility Notes are issued, and are subordinated to the liens securing the
Mortgage Notes.
The indentures pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes and the Junior
Mortgage Notes were issued (collectively, the "Indentures") prohibit RIH and
its subsidiaries from paying dividends, from making other distributions in
respect of their capital stock, and from purchasing or redeeming their capital
stock, with certain exceptions, unless certain interest coverage ratios are
attained. Also, the Indentures restrict RIH and its subsidiaries from
incurring additional indebtedness, with certain exceptions, and limit
intercompany loans by RIH to RII to loans from the proceeds of the Senior
Facility (or similar working capital facility) and other advances not in excess
of $1,000,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding. Similar restrictions
curtail the activities of RIHF. The shareholder's equity of RIH amounted to
$35,136,000 at December 31, 1994, all of which is restricted under these
Indenture provisions.
Senior Facility
The Senior Facility among RIHF, RII and RIH and certain funds and
accounts advised or managed by Fidelity, as amended in February 1995, is
available for a single borrowing of up to $19,738,000 during the period ending
May 2, 1996, through the issuance of notes (the "Senior Facility Notes"). If
issued, the Senior Facility Notes will bear interest at 11.75% and will be due
in 2002. The Senior Facility Notes will be senior obligations of RIHF secured
by a promissory note from RIH in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$19,738,000 payable in amounts and at times necessary to pay the principal of
and interest on the Senior Facility Notes. The Senior Facility Notes will
be guaranteed by RIH and secured by a lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel property
as described above. The Senior Facility Notes will also be secured by a pledge
by GGRI, RII's subsidiary which became the parent of RIH as a result of the
Restructuring, of all issued and outstanding shares of RIH's common stock. In
addition, the Senior Facility Notes will be guaranteed by RII, which guaranty
will be secured by a pledge of all the issued and outstanding stock of GGRI and
RIHF. Market interest rates and other economic conditions, among other
factors, will determine if it is appropriate for the Company to draw on the
Senior Facility.
F - 13
<PAGE> 180
Units
Each Unit comprises $1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes
and one share of Class B Stock. Shares of Class B Stock may not be transferred
separately from the related Junior Mortgage Note. Holders of Class B Stock are
entitled to elect one- third of the Board of Directors of RII and under certain
circumstances they would be entitled to elect a majority of the Board of
Directors. Holders of Class B Stock do not participate in any dividends which
may be declared by RII's Board of Directors. Approximately 35,000 Units were
issued pursuant to the Plan.
SIHL Sale
In transactions related to the SIHL Sale, SIIL purchased 60% of the
capital stock of SIHL for $90,000,000 plus interest at 7.5% from January 1,
1994 through the Effective Date (the "SIHL Proceeds"). Pursuant to the
purchase agreement, SIHL then purchased 100% of the equity of Resorts
International (Bahamas) 1984 Limited, RII's former Bahamian subsidiary which,
along with its subsidiaries, owned and operated the Company's Paradise Island
properties. Also, certain subsidiaries of SIHL acquired certain assets of RII
and its U.S. subsidiaries which supported the Paradise Island operations and
assumed certain related liabilities. The purchase price received from SIHL was
$65,000,000 in cash, plus interest at 7.5% from January 1, 1994 through the
Effective Date, and 2,000,000 Series A Ordinary Shares of SIHL (the "SIHL
Shares"), which amounts to the remaining 40% of the capital stock of SIHL.
These cash proceeds as well as the SIHL Shares were distributed to holders of
Series Notes pursuant to the Plan. SIHL used a portion of the SIHL Proceeds to
fund its $65,000,000 (plus interest) purchase price of the Company's Paradise
Island assets. RII understands that the other $25,000,000 of SIHL Proceeds
remaining in SIHL as of the Effective Date ($90,000,000 SIHL Proceeds less the
$65,000,000 used to purchase the Paradise Island assets) increased the equity
value of SIHL and, in effect, represented additional consideration in the
amount of $10,000,000 (40% of $25,000,000) for the sale of the Company's
Paradise Island assets. Such consideration was realized by the holders of
Series Notes through the increased value of their 40% equity interest in SIHL.
Although the SIHL Sale was effective May 3, 1994, the consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows reflect the Paradise Island operations
through April 30, 1994. The loss on SIHL Sale represents the difference
between the carrying values and the fair values of the assets and equity
interests sold.
For information as to the revenues and contribution to consolidated
earnings from operations of the operations disposed of in the SIHL Sale, see
the Paradise Island portion of the casino/hotel segment, the Paradise Island
portion of the real estate related segment and the airline segment in the
segment tables included in "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - RII."
Recapitalization Costs
Recapitalization costs in 1994, 1993 and 1992 include costs of
financial advisers retained to assist in the development and analysis of
financial alternatives which resulted in the
F - 14
<PAGE> 181
Restructuring and other legal and advisory fees incurred in connection with
such Restructuring. Also, recapitalization costs for 1994 include credits of
$3,256,000 recorded in the fourth quarter resulting from the reversal of
restructuring reserves provided in connection with the Company's 1990 plan of
reorganization.
NOTE 3 - CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents at December 31, 1994

NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT
As described in Note 2, on May 3, 1994, the Series Notes were
exchanged for, among other things, the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage
Notes. The Series Notes, consisting of the Series A Notes and the Series B
Notes, and the First Mortgage Non-Recourse Pass-Through Notes due June 30, 2000
(the "Showboat Notes") had been issued pursuant to the Company's 1990 plan of
reorganization.
In November 1994, RIH purchased 12,899 Units comprising $12,899,000
principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes and 12,899 shares of Class B Stock at
a price of $6,740,000. The resulting gain of $4,008,000 is reported as an
extraordinary item. As described in Note 2, a total of 35,000 Units were
issued as part of the reorganization of RII in May 1994.
The carrying value and fair value by component of long-term debt at
December 31 were as follows:

The fair value presented above for the Company's long-term debt is
based on December 31 closing market prices for publicly traded debt and
carrying value for capitalized leases, because
F - 17
<PAGE> 184
capitalized leases are not considered material to the total.
For a description of the Mortgage Notes, the Junior Mortgage Notes and
the Senior Facility, see "New Debt Securities" and "Senior Facility" in Note 2.
Interest on the Mortgage Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and
September 15 in each year. Interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes is payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 in each year.
The Company owns a 10-acre parcel of land in Atlantic City underlying
the Showboat Casino Hotel which parcel is subject to a 99-year net lease (the
"Showboat Lease") which expires in 2082. The Showboat Notes are non-recourse
notes, secured by a mortgage encumbering that 10-acre parcel, by a collateral
assignment of the Showboat Lease, and by a pledge of any proceeds of the sale
of such mortgage and collateral assignment.
Interest on the Showboat Notes consists of a pass-through (subject to
certain adjustments) of the lease payments received under the Showboat Lease.
See Note 11 for a description of the Showboat Lease. Interest is payable
semi-annually on January 15 and July 15.
The effective interest rates on the Company's publicly held debt at
December 31, 1994 were as follows: Mortgage Notes - 13.9%; Junior Mortgage
Notes - 14.6%; and Showboat Notes - 11.2%. No principal payments are required
during the next five years on the Mortgage Notes, the Junior Mortgage Notes or
the Showboat Notes.
NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
RII is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of RII Common Stock,
120,000 shares of Class B Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Of
the 39,694,172 shares of RII Common Stock outstanding at December 31, 1994,
20,000,000 were issued in 1990 as the Company emerged from bankruptcy
proceedings; 20,000 were awarded to certain members of RII's Board of Directors
in 1991; 137,234 were issued in settlement of certain claims ("Other Class 3C
Claims") against RII and certain of its subsidiaries which were outstanding in
1989 when the Company entered bankruptcy proceedings; 16,984,438 were issued in
May 1994 in exchange for the Series Notes pursuant to the Restructuring;
612,500 were issued to financial advisers in May 1994 in settlement of certain
recapitalization costs; and 1,940,000 were issued as of August 1994 to an
affiliate of Griffin Group in satisfaction of the final payment due under the
Griffin Services Agreement. Additional shares of RII Common Stock may be
issued in the future in settlement of remaining Other Class 3C Claims.
See Note 2 for a description of Class B Stock issued as part of Units
and the Griffin Warrant. See Note 10 for a description of notes receivable
from related parties.
NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTION PLANS
Pursuant to the Plan, the 1990 SOP was terminated, although
F - 18
<PAGE> 185
holders of options granted under that plan retain their options, and the 1994
SOP was adopted. The 1994 SOP allows for the granting of options to purchase
up to 5% of the outstanding RII Common Stock, assuming the exercise of (i) the
Griffin Warrant, (ii) all options granted under the 1990 SOP and outstanding as
of the Effective Date and (iii) the maximum allowable options to be granted
under the 1994 SOP. The 1994 SOP is to be administered by an Option Committee
of RII's Board of Directors. In accordance with the 1994 SOP, on June 7, 1994
the four members serving on that committee were each granted options to
purchase 10,000 shares of RII Common Stock. One half of these options are
exercisable immediately and the remainder become exercisable on June 7, 1995.
On August 1, 1994 RII granted options to purchase 998,500 shares of RII Common
Stock to certain officers and other employees of RII and RIH. These options
are to vest 25% per year on the first four anniversaries of the date granted.
Options to purchase the following shares of RII Common Stock were
outstanding at December 31, 1994:

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
License and Services Agreements
Pursuant to the Company's 1990 plan of reorganization, Merv Griffin,
Chairman of RII's Board of Directors, Griffin Group, and RII entered into a
License and Services Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, for the two years
ended September 16, 1992, RII was granted a non-exclusive license to use Mr.
Griffin's name and likeness to promote its facilities and operations and Mr.
Griffin agreed to act as Chairman of the Board of RII and to provide certain
other services without compensation, subject to certain conditions relating
principally to the continuation of his control of the Company.
In April 1993, RII, RIH and Griffin Group entered into the Griffin
Services Agreement effective as of September 17, 1992. Pursuant to this
agreement, Griffin Group granted RII and RIH a non-exclusive license to use the
name and likeness of Merv Griffin to advertise and promote the Company's
facilities and operations. Also pursuant to the Griffin Services Agreement,
Mr. Griffin is to provide certain services to the Company, including serving as
Chairman of the Board of RII and as a host, producer and featured
F - 19
<PAGE> 186
performer in various shows to be presented in Resorts Casino Hotel, and
furnishing marketing and consulting services.
The Griffin Services Agreement is to continue until September 17, 1997
and provides for earlier termination under certain circumstances including,
among others, a change of control (as defined) of the Company and Mr. Griffin
ceasing to serve as Chairman of the Board of RII.
The Griffin Services Agreement provides for compensation to Griffin
Group in the amount of $2,000,000 for the year ended September 16, 1993, and in
specified amounts for each of the following years, which increase at
approximately 5% per year. In accordance with the Griffin Services Agreement,
upon signing, the Company paid Griffin Group $4,100,000, representing
compensation for the first two years. Thereafter, the Griffin Services
Agreement called for annual payments on September 17, each representing a
prepayment for the year ending two years hence. In lieu of paying in cash, at
the Company's option, the Company could satisfy its obligation to make any of
the payments required under the Griffin Services Agreement by reducing the
amount of the Group Note described below. In September 1993 the Company
notified Griffin Group that it would satisfy its obligation to make the
$2,205,000 payment for the year ending September 16, 1995 by reducing the Group
Note by that amount. In May 1994, as part of the Restructuring, RII reduced
the Group Note by $2,310,000 in satisfaction of the payment due in September
1994 for the year ending September 16, 1996. The final payment required under
the Griffin Services Agreement, $2,425,000, was to be due in September 1995.
On August 1, 1994, following review and approval by the independent members of
RII's Board of Directors, RII agreed to issue 1,940,000 shares of RII Common
Stock to an affiliate of Griffin Group in satisfaction of this final payment
obligation. The closing price of RII Common Stock on the date of the agreement
was $1.0625 per share. The shares are not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 and are restricted securities. In the event of an early termination of
the Griffin Services Agreement, and depending on the circumstances of such
early termination, all or a portion of the compensation paid to Griffin Group
in respect of the period subsequent to the date of termination may be required
to be repaid to the Company.
The Griffin Services Agreement also provided for the issuance of the
Griffin Warrant described in Note 2 on the Effective Date.
In the Griffin Services Agreement the Company agreed to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Griffin Group and Mr. Griffin against certain claims,
losses and costs, and to maintain certain insurance coverage with Mr. Griffin
and Griffin Group as named insureds.
Notes Receivable from Related Parties
Pursuant to the Company's 1990 plan of reorganization, in September
1990 RII received $12,345,000 in cash and an $11,000,000 promissory note (the
"Griffin Note") from Merv Griffin for certain
F - 20
<PAGE> 187
shares of RII Common Stock purchased by him. In April 1993, in accordance with
the Griffin Services Agreement, Mr. Griffin made a partial payment of
$4,100,000 on this note comprised of $3,477,000 principal and $623,000 accrued
interest. The Griffin Note, which then had a remaining balance of $7,523,000,
was cancelled and a new note from Griffin Group, the Group Note, in the amount
of $7,523,000 was substituted therefor. The Group Note was unconditionally
guaranteed as to principal and interest by Mr. Griffin and bore interest at the
rate of 3%. As noted above, the balance of the Group Note was reduced by
$2,205,000 in September 1993 and by $2,310,000 in May 1994 in satisfaction of
fees due to Griffin Group under the Griffin Services Agreement. Also in May
1994, as part of the Restructuring, Griffin Group repaid the remaining
principal balance of $3,008,000 and accrued interest thereon.
Other
The Company reimbursed Griffin Group $296,000, $219,000 and $396,000
for charter air services related to Company business rendered in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
In 1994 the Company incurred charges from unaffiliated parties of
$394,000 in producing the live television broadcast of "Merv Griffin's New
Year's Eve Special" from Resorts Casino Hotel. For each of the 1993 and 1992
productions of "Merv Griffin's New Year's Eve Special," which also were
broadcast live on television, the Company paid $100,000 and provided certain
facilities, labor and accommodations to subsidiaries of January Enterprises,
Inc., of which Merv Griffin formerly was Chairman.
Antonio C. Alvarez II, a shareholder of Alvarez & Marsal, Inc., was a
member of the Board of Directors of RII from September 1990 until the Effective
Date. In 1994 the Company paid Alvarez & Marsal, Inc. $225,000 and issued
112,500 shares of RII Common Stock as compensation for financial advisory
services rendered in connection with the Restructuring. The Company paid
Alvarez & Marsal, Inc. $300,000 for financial advisory services rendered in
1992.
NOTE 11 - SHOWBOAT LEASE
The Company leases to a subsidiary ("ACS") of Showboat, Inc., a resort
and casino operator, approximately 10 acres of land adjacent to the Boardwalk
in Atlantic City. Under the 99-year net lease, lease payments are payable in
equal monthly installments on the first day of each month. The lease payments
for the lease year ending March 31, 1995, total $8,326,000. The lease payments
are adjusted annually, as of April 1, for changes in the consumer price index.
Pursuant to the lease agreement, the Company is unable to transfer its
interest in the lease, other than to an affiliate, without giving ACS the
opportunity to purchase such interest at terms no less favorable than agreed to
by any other party.
F - 21
<PAGE> 188
As described in Note 7, the Showboat Notes are secured by a mortgage
encumbering the real property which is subject to the Showboat Lease, by a
collateral assignment of the Showboat Lease, and by a pledge of any proceeds of
the sale of such mortgage and collateral assignment. Lease payments under the
Showboat Lease are required to be passed-through to holders of the Showboat
Notes.
NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS
RII and certain of its subsidiaries participate, and certain of RII's
former subsidiaries participated, in a defined contribution plan covering
substantially all of their non-union, full-time employees. The Company makes
contributions to this plan based on a percentage of eligible employee
contributions. Total pension expense for this plan was $683,000, $804,000 and
$767,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
In addition to the plan described above, union and certain other
employees of RIH and certain former subsidiaries of RII are covered by
multi-employer defined benefit pension plans to which the subsidiaries make, or
made, contributions. The Company's pension expense for these plans totalled
$1,066,000, $1,392,000 and $1,403,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
NOTE 13 - WRITE-DOWN OF NON-OPERATING REAL ESTATE
The Company owns various non-operating sites in Atlantic City, New
Jersey, which are available for sale. Certain of these properties could be
developed while others are designated as wetlands. Based on a study of these
properties directed by the initial post-Restructuring Board of Directors of
RII, which Board was named as part of the Plan, the Company determined that
write-downs totalling $20,525,000 were appropriate in order to properly reflect
the net realizable value of these properties.
NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS 109 effective January
1, 1993. There was no effect on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations nor was there a cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109.
Because the exchange of the Series Notes occurred pursuant to a plan
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, any cancellation of debt income realized by
reason of the consummation of the Plan is excludable from the Company's federal
taxable income. In 1994 the Company recorded a current federal tax provision
of $300,000 representing the estimated alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
resulting from utilization of net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards to
offset the taxable income generated in 1994. This taxable income was primarily
due to the sale of the Paradise Island operations. Though this sale generated
a $72,463,000 loss for book purposes, the tax bases of the assets and equity
sold were significantly less than the book bases. The NOL's utilized were
available to the Company under the provisions of the Internal
F - 22
<PAGE> 189
Revenue Code for gains existing as of the date of change in ownership. The
current federal tax provision was offset by a deferred federal tax benefit of
the same amount resulting from the AMT credit carryforward.
NOL's were generated for federal tax purposes in 1993 and 1992,
therefore no current federal tax provision was recorded in those years. During
1992 the Company received federal income tax refunds of $1,348,000 when the
audit of the Company's 1981 and 1982 tax returns was completed. Such amount
was recorded as a federal income tax benefit in 1992.
In August 1993 tax law changes were enacted which resulted in an
increase in the Company's federal income tax rate. The increase resulted in a
$1,000,000 increase in the Company's deferred income tax liability and a
deferred income tax provision of the same amount.
No state tax provision was recorded in 1994, 1993 or 1992 due to the
utilization of state NOL carryforwards in states where the Company generated
taxable income.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as
of December 31 were as follows:

For federal income tax purposes the Company had NOL carryforwards of
approximately $559,000,000 at December 31, 1994. Of this amount,
approximately $177,000,000 is not limited as to use and expires from 2005
through 2008. Due to the change of ownership of RII in 1990, the balance of
the NOL carryforwards (the "Pre-Change NOL's"), which expires from 1999 through
2005, is limited in its availability to offset future taxable income of the
Company. These Pre-Change NOL's are available to offset gains on sales of
assets which were owned by the Company at the date of the change in ownership
of the Company and which are sold within five years of that date, or, by
September 1995. Assuming no further qualifying asset sales take place within
the required period, all but approximately $83,000,000 of the Pre-Change NOL's
are expected to expire unutilized.
At December 31, 1994, RIH had approximately $136,000,000 of NOL
carryforwards in New Jersey, which expire from 1995 through 1997. Also at that
date the Company had significant NOL carryforwards in Florida, which expire
from 1995 through 2008.
Also, for federal income tax purposes, the Company had tax credit
carryforwards of $3,100,000 at December 31, 1994 which expire from 1998 through
2009.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
CRDA
The Casino Control Act, as originally adopted, required a licensee to
make investments equal to 2% of the licensee's gross revenue (as defined in the
Casino Control Act) (the "investment obligation") for each calendar year,
commencing in 1979, in which such gross revenue exceeded its "cumulative
investments" (as defined in the Casino Control Act). A licensee had five years
from the end of each calendar year to satisfy this investment obligation or
become liable for an "alternative tax" in the same amount. In 1984 the New
Jersey legislature amended the Casino Control Act so that these provisions
F - 26
<PAGE> 193
now apply only to investment obligations for the years 1979 through 1983.
Effective for 1984 and subsequent years, the amended Casino Control
Act requires a licensee to satisfy its investment obligation by purchasing
bonds to be issued by the CRDA, or by making other investments authorized by
the CRDA, in an amount equal to 1.25% of a licensee's gross revenue. If the
investment obligation is not satisfied, then the licensee will be subject to an
investment alternative tax of 2.5% of gross revenue. Since 1985, a licensee
has been required to make quarterly deposits with the CRDA against its current
year investment obligation.
An analysis of RIH's investment obligations under the Casino Control
Act and RIH's means of settlement since 1979 follows:

</TABLE>
With regard to the housing related investments under audit, in January
1988 the CRDA notified the Company of its interpretation as to the periods of
time during which expenditures could be made to satisfy investment obligations.
CRDA's interpretation differs from RIH's and if found to be correct would
decrease the amount of RIH's qualifying expenditures by approximately
$5,000,000 to $6,000,000. RIH believes that its interpretation is correct and
intends to contest this issue.
RIH also received a letter dated November 9, 1989, from the State of
New Jersey Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") stating that the housing
related investments made by RIH were not sufficient to meet its investment
obligation for the years 1979 through 1983. The letter also stated that
alternative tax in the amount of $21,637,000 was due for those years, in
addition to penalties and interest thereon which amounted to $12,514,000 as of
the date of the letter. As set forth in the table above, the Company believes
that $8,533,000 of such obligations have been settled; $7,533,000 in cash and
$1,000,000 by previously approved housing related investments. Also, the
Company has received audit reports issued by an agency acting on
F - 27
<PAGE> 194
behalf of the Treasury identifying $10,165,000 of project development costs
available for investment credit towards the investment obligation. This leaves
a total of $2,939,000 of housing related investments under audit in question.
The Company has notified the Treasury that it takes exception to the Treasury's
computation of amounts due. Further, the Company believes that the $2,939,000
of housing related investments in question will be found, under further audit,
to have been satisfied.
These matters have been dormant for some time. The Company was
verbally contacted by the Treasury in late 1993 regarding the Treasury's
proposal for a resolution of these matters, but has had no communication since
then. If the CRDA's interpretation as to the periods of time during which
qualifying expenditures can be made is found to be correct, or if the
Treasury's issue is determined adversely, RIH could be required to pay the
relevant amount in cash to the CRDA. In the opinion of management, based upon
advice of counsel, the aggregate liability, if any, arising from these issues
will not have a material adverse effect on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
As reflected in the table above, through December 31, 1994, RIH had
made CRDA deposits/bond purchases totalling $39,056,000. However, in August
1989 RIH donated $12,048,000 to the CRDA in exchange for which RIH was relieved
of its obligation to purchase CRDA bonds of $18,193,000. Because RIH already
had the $18,193,000 for bond purchases on deposit with the CRDA, the difference
between this amount and the amount of the donation, or $6,145,000, was refunded
to RIH in August 1989. Thus, at December 31, 1994, RIH had a remaining balance
of $5,286,000 face value of bonds issued by the CRDA and had $15,577,000 on
deposit with the CRDA. These bonds and deposits, net of an estimated discount
charged to expense to reflect the below-market interest rate payable on the
bonds, were recorded as other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
RIH records charges to expense to reflect the below-market interest
rate payable on the bonds it may have to purchase to fulfill its investment
obligation at the date the obligation arises. The charges in 1994, 1993 and
1992 for discounts on obligations arising in those years were $1,461,000,
$1,541,000 and $1,451,000 respectively.
Litigation
RII and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in certain
litigation. In the opinion of management, based upon advice of counsel, the
aggregate liability, if any, arising from such litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholder
Resorts International Hotel, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Resorts International Hotel, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity
(deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994. Resorts International Hotel, Inc. is an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Resorts International, Inc. 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 Resorts International Hotel, Inc. at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Resorts International Hotel, Inc. ("RIH") owns and operates Merv
Griffin's Resorts Casino Hotel ("Resorts Casino Hotel"), a casino/hotel complex
located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Prior to May 3, 1994, RIH was a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts International, Inc. ("RII"). As part of a
restructuring (the "Restructuring") of certain publicly held debt securities of
RII (the "Series Notes") which was effective on May 3, 1994 (the "Effective
Date"), RIH became a wholly owned subsidiary of GGRI, Inc. ("GGRI"), which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of RII.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RIH and
its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
RIH records as revenue the win from gaming activities which represents
the difference between amounts wagered and amounts won by patrons. Revenues
from hotel and related services and from theater ticket sales are recognized at
the time the related service is performed.
Complimentary Services
The Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect each category of
operating revenues excluding the retail value of complimentary services
provided to casino patrons without charge. The rooms, food and beverage, and
other casino/hotel operations departments allocate a percentage of their total
operating expenses to the casino department for complimentary services provided
to casino patrons. These allocations do not necessarily represent the
incremental cost of providing such complimentary services to casino patrons.
Amounts allocated to the casino department from the other operating departments
were as follows:

<PAGE> 202
Cash Equivalents
RIH considers all of its short-term money market securities purchased
with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying
value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of
these instruments.
Inventories
Inventories of provisions, supplies and spare parts are carried at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.
Casino Reinvestment Development Authority ("CRDA") Obligations
Under the New Jersey Casino Control Act ("Casino Control Act"), RIH is
obligated to purchase CRDA bonds, which will bear a below-market interest rate,
or make an alternative qualifying investment. RIH charges to expense an
estimated discount related to CRDA investment obligations as of the date the
obligation arises based on fair market interest rates of similar quality bonds
in existence as of that date. On the date RIH actually purchases the CRDA
bond, the estimated discount previously recorded is adjusted to reflect the
actual terms of the bonds issued and the then existing fair market interest
rate for similar quality bonds.
The discount on CRDA bonds purchased is amortized to interest income
over the life of the bonds using the effective interest rate method.
Income Taxes
RIH and RII's other domestic subsidiaries file consolidated federal
income tax returns with RII.
Effective January 1, 1993, RIH adopted the liability method of
accounting prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." Although RIH is a member of a
consolidated group for federal income tax purposes, RIH applies SFAS 109 on a
separate return basis for financial reporting purposes.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 109, RIH had agreed with RII to provide
for federal and state income taxes using a combined rate of 40%. Material
transactions which would have been subject to combined tax rates significantly
different from the 40% rate were to be separately tax effected. The resulting
liability was settled on a current basis.
NOTE 2 - RESTRUCTURING OF RII'S SERIES NOTES
RII and GGRI, RII's subsidiary which guaranteed the Series Notes,
F - 36
<PAGE> 203
proposed the Restructuring of the Series Notes which was accomplished through a
prepackaged bankruptcy plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). On March 21, 1994,
after receiving the requisite acceptances for confirmation of the Plan from
holders of the Series Notes and equity interests in RII, RII and GGRI filed
their prepackaged bankruptcy cases with the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Plan was confirmed by
the Bankruptcy Court on April 22, 1994 and on the Effective Date all conditions
to the effectiveness of the Plan were either met or waived and the Plan became
effective.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Series Notes were exchanged for, among other
things, $125,000,000 principal amount of 11% Mortgage Notes (the "Mortgage
Notes") due September 15, 2003 and $35,000,000 principal amount of 11.375%
Junior Mortgage Notes (the "Junior Mortgage Notes") due December 15, 2004.
Hereinafter the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes, collectively, are
referred to as the "New Debt Securities." The New Debt Securities were issued
by Resorts International Hotel Financing, Inc. ("RIHF"), a subsidiary of RII,
and are guaranteed by RIH. The accrual of interest and amortization of
discounts on the New Debt Securities commenced on May 3, 1994. Also pursuant
to the Plan, RIHF, RIH and RII entered into the senior note purchase agreement
(the "Senior Facility") described below.
The Mortgage Notes are secured by a $125,000,000 promissory note made
by RIH (the "RIH Promissory Note"), the terms of which mirror the terms of the
Mortgage Notes. The RIH Promissory Note and RIH's guaranty of the Mortgage
Notes are secured by liens on the Resorts Casino Hotel, consisting of RIH's fee
and leasehold interests in the Resorts Casino Hotel, the contiguous parking
garage and property, all additions and improvements thereto, and related
personal property. The liens securing the Mortgage Notes will be subordinated
to the lien securing the Senior Facility Notes (described below), if the Senior
Facility Notes are issued.
The Junior Mortgage Notes are secured by a $35,000,000 promissory
note made by RIH (the "RIH Junior Promissory Note"), the terms of which mirror
the terms of the Junior Mortgage Notes. In certain circumstances, interest
payable on the Junior Mortgage Notes may be satisfied by the issuance of
additional Junior Mortgage Notes, in which case the balance of the RIH Junior
Promissory Note would increase accordingly. The RIH Junior Promissory Note and
RIH's guaranty of the Junior Mortgage Notes are also secured by liens on the
Resorts Casino Hotel property as described above. The liens securing the
Junior Mortgage Notes will be subordinated to the lien securing the Senior
Facility Notes, if the Senior Facility Notes are issued, and are subordinated
to the liens securing the Mortgage Notes.
The indentures pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes and the Junior
Mortgage Notes were issued (collectively, the "Indentures") prohibit RIH and
its subsidiaries from paying dividends, from making other distributions in
respect of their capital stock, and from purchasing or redeeming their capital
stock, with certain exceptions, unless certain interest coverage ratios are
attained. The Indentures also contain certain other restrictive covenants on
the part of RIH and its subsidiaries, including (i) limitations on incurring
additional indebtedness, with certain exceptions; (ii)
F - 37
<PAGE> 204
restrictions on making loans to an affiliate or other person other than (x)
intercompany advances to RII not in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate at
any time outstanding and (y) loans to RII from the proceeds of the Senior
Facility (or similar working capital facility), provided, however, that RIH can
make certain loans or engage in certain credit transactions in the operation of
Resorts Casino Hotel, if such loans or credit transactions are in the ordinary
course of business of operating a casino/hotel and (iii) restrictions from
entering into certain transactions with affiliates on terms less favorable to
RIH or its subsidiaries than an arm's length transaction. In this regard, the
Indentures specifically permit affiliated transactions in connection with the
Senior Facility, the Griffin Services Agreement described in Note 8, the parent
services agreement with RII which provides for payment of the three percent
services fee described in Note 8, and a tax sharing agreement with RII which
limits RIH's tax payments to RII to reimbursements of cash payments made by RII
for income or alternative minimum taxes arising from the earnings or operations
of RIH.
The Senior Facility among RIHF, RII and RIH and certain funds and
accounts advised or managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company
("Fidelity"), as amended in February 1995, is available for a single borrowing
of up to $19,738,000 during the period ending May 2, 1996, through the issuance
of notes (the "Senior Facility Notes"). If issued, the Senior Facility Notes
will bear interest at 11.75% and will be due in 2002. The Senior Facility
Notes will be senior obligations of RIHF secured by a promissory note from RIH
in an aggregate principal amount of up to $19,738,000 payable in amounts and at
times necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Senior Facility
Notes. The Senior Facility Notes will be guaranteed by RIH and secured by a
lien on the Resorts Casino Hotel property as described above. The Senior
Facility Notes will also be secured by a pledge by GGRI of all issued and
outstanding shares of RIH common stock. In addition, the Senior Facility Notes
will be guaranteed by RII, which guaranty will be secured by a pledge of all
the issued and outstanding stock of GGRI and RIHF. Market interest rates and
other economic conditions, among other factors, will determine if it is
appropriate for RIHF to draw on the Senior Facility.
The Restructuring also prescribed the following transactions between
RIH and its affiliates:
- RIH issued the RIH Promissory Note and the RIH Junior Promissory Note
in repayment of RIH's balance due to RII on the Effective Date with
the remainder a distribution to RII. RIH's retained earnings of
$53,896,000 at April 30, 1994 was included in that distribution.
- GGRI exchanged the $325,000,000 RIH-GGRI Notes (see Note 7) for
999,900 shares of common stock of RIH. In order to accomplish this,
RIH authorized an additional 4,997,500 shares of its common stock.
- RII contributed to GGRI the 100 shares of common stock of RIH which
RII owned. This resulted in RIH's becoming a wholly owned subsidiary
of GGRI and an indirect subsidiary of RII. RIH now has
F - 38
<PAGE> 205
a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which
1,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding.
- RIH distributed to GGRI, as a return of surplus, the $50,000,000 RIB
Note (see Note 5) and accrued interest thereon.
- RIH distributed all of its cash and cash equivalents in excess of
$15,000,000 as of the Effective Date to GGRI. GGRI distributed such
cash to RII so that RII, in turn, could distribute Excess Cash (as
defined in the Plan) to holders of Series Notes.
For pro forma effects of the Restructuring on continuing operations of
RIH assuming the Restructuring occurred on January 1, 1994 see "PRO FORMA
FINANCIAL DATA - RIH."
NOTE 3 - CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents at December 31, 1994 included a reverse repurchase
agreement (U.S. Treasury Notes purchased under an agreement to resell those
notes) with National Westminster Bank NJ in the amount of $6,317,000 under
which RIH had not taken delivery of the underlying securities. The agreement
matured on January 3, 1995. RIH's cash equivalents at December 31, 1994 also
included U.S. Treasury Bills.
NOTE 4 - RECEIVABLES

NOTE 5 - NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM AFFILIATE
In 1988, RIH loaned $50,000,000 pursuant to a pre-arranged
back-to-back loan to Resorts International (Bahamas) 1984 Limited ("RIB"), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RII which was disposed of as part of the
F - 39

Restructuring, in exchange for a promissory note (the "RIB Note"). Such note
was payable on demand and bore interest at 13 1/2% per annum, with interest
payments due each May 1 and November 1. Pursuant to the Restructuring, RIH
distributed the RIB Note and accrued interest thereon to GGRI as a return of
surplus. See Note 2.

NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE TO AFFILIATES
As described in Note 2, on May 3, 1994, RIH issued the RIH Promissory
Note and the RIH Junior Promissory Note (collectively, the "New RIH Notes") to
RII. RII then transferred the New RIH Notes to RIHF in exchange for the
Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes, and RIH amended and restated the
New RIH Notes making them payable to RIHF.
In November 1994, RIH purchased $12,899,000 principal amount of Junior
Mortgage Notes through the purchase of 12,899 Units (each $1,000 principal
amount of Junior Mortgage Notes is traded as a "Unit" along with one share of
RII's class B redeemable common stock) at a price of $6,740,000. The resulting
gain of $4,008,000 is reported as an extraordinary item.

The fair values presented above are based on December 31 closing
market prices for RIHF's publicly traded debt because RIHF's debt is (i)
dependent on the New RIH Notes for debt service and (ii) collateralized and
guaranteed by RIH.
For a description of the RIH Promissory Note and the RIH Junior
Promissory Note see Note 2. Interest on the RIH Promissory Note is payable
semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 in each year. Interest on the RIH
Junior Promissory Note is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 in
each year. The effective interest rates on the RIH Promissory Note and the RIH
Junior Promissory Note are 13.9% and 14.6%, respectively. No principal
payments are required during the next five years on the RIH Promissory Note or
the RIH Junior Promissory Note.
In 1988, GGRI issued $325,000,000 principal amount of publicly traded
notes. GGRI loaned the proceeds of the notes to RIH in exchange for, among
other things, $325,000,000 of promissory notes payable to GGRI (the "RIH-GGRI
Notes"). The RIH-GGRI Notes, as amended in 1992, were payable on demand after
April 15, 1994 and were non-interest bearing, but the principal amount accreted
according to a schedule. Pursuant to the Restructuring, GGRI exchanged the
RIH-GGRI Notes for 999,900 shares of common stock of RIH. See Note 2.
The RIH-GGRI Notes and the RIB Note described in Note 5 related to
intercompany loans which were not anticipated to be repaid in the ordinary
course of business. In light of this and the fact that RII had proposed the
Restructuring of the Series Notes, which proposal included the cancellation of
both the RIH-GGRI Notes and the RIB Notes through a series of transactions, it
was not practical to estimate the fair values of the RIH-GGRI Notes or the RIB
Note at December 31, 1993.

</TABLE>
RII charges RIH the parent services fee of three percent of gross
revenues for administrative and other services.
In addition to the above, charges for insurance costs are allocated to
RIH based on relative amounts of operating revenue, payroll, property value, or
other appropriate measures. Also, recapitalization costs reflected on the
consolidated statements of operations represent RIH's allocated portion of
RII's consolidated recapitalization costs.
License and Services Agreement
In April 1993, RII, RIH and The Griffin Group, Inc. (the "Griffin
Group"), a corporation controlled by Merv Griffin, Chairman of the Board of
RII, entered into a license and services agreement (the "Griffin Services
Agreement") effective as of September 17, 1992, upon the expiration of a
previous license and services agreement. Pursuant to the Griffin Services
Agreement, Griffin Group granted RII and RIH a non-exclusive license to use the
name and likeness of Merv Griffin to advertise and promote facilities and
operations of RII and its subsidiaries. Also pursuant to the Griffin Services
Agreement, Mr. Griffin is to provide certain services to RII and RIH, including
serving as Chairman of the Board of RII and as a host, producer and featured
performer in various shows to be presented in Resorts Casino Hotel, and
furnishing marketing and consulting services.
The Griffin Services Agreement is to continue until September 17, 1997
and provides for earlier termination under certain circumstances including,
among others, a change of control (as defined) of RII and RIH and Mr. Griffin
ceasing to serve as Chairman of the Board of RII.
The Griffin Services Agreement provides for compensation to Griffin
Group in the amount of $2,000,000 for the year ended September 16, 1993, and
F - 42
<PAGE> 209
in specified amounts for each of the following years, which increase at
approximately 5% per year. In accordance with the Griffin Services Agreement,
upon signing, RIH paid Griffin Group $4,100,000, representing compensation for
the first two years. Thereafter, the Griffin Services Agreement called for
annual payments on September 17, each representing a prepayment for the year
ending two years hence. In the event of an early termination of the Griffin
Services Agreement, and depending on the circumstances of such early
termination, all or a portion of the compensation paid to Griffin Group in
respect of the period subsequent to the date of termination may be required to
be repaid to RII and RIH.
In the Griffin Services Agreement RII and RIH agreed to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Griffin Group and Mr. Griffin against certain claims,
losses and costs, and to maintain certain insurance coverage with Mr. Griffin
and Griffin Group as named insureds.
As part of the Restructuring, the payment due Griffin Group on
September 17, 1994 was settled by applying $2,310,000 as a reduction of the
balance of a note payable to RII by Griffin Group. On August 1, 1994,
following review and approval by the independent members of RII's Board of
Directors, RII agreed to issue 1,940,000 shares of common stock of RII to an
affiliate of Griffin Group in satisfaction of the final payment obligation of
RIH and RII under the Griffin Services Agreement. This payment of $2,425,000
would have been due on September 17, 1995. The closing price of RII's common
stock on the date of the agreement was $1.0625 per share. The shares are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are restricted securities.
Other
RIH reimbursed Griffin Group $207,000, $130,000 and $25,000 for
charter air services related to RIH business rendered in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
In 1994 RIH incurred charges from unaffiliated parties of $394,000 in
producing the live television broadcast of "Merv Griffin's New Year's Eve
Special" from Resorts Casino Hotel. For each of the 1993 and 1992 productions
of "Merv Griffin's New Year's Eve Special," which also were broadcast live on
television, RIH paid $100,000 and provided certain facilities, labor and
accommodations to subsidiaries of January Enterprises, Inc., of which Merv
Griffin formerly was Chairman.
NOTE 9 - RETIREMENT PLANS
RIH has a defined contribution plan in which substantially all
non-union employees are eligible to participate. Employees of certain other
affiliated companies are also eligible to participate in this plan. RIH and
other subsidiaries of RII make contributions to the plan based on a percentage
of eligible employee contributions. RIH's pension expense for this plan was
$637,000, $681,000 and $665,000 for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
F - 43
<PAGE> 210
Union employees are covered by various multi-employer pension plans to
which contributions are made by RIH and other unrelated employers. RIH's
pension expense for these plans was $842,000, $844,000 and $827,000 for the
years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 1, RIH adopted SFAS 109 effective January 1,
1993. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 109 RIH's deferred tax liability
of $19,000,000 as of January 1, 1993 was transferred to RIH from RII. There
were no other effects on the accompanying financial statements.
In 1994 RIH's current federal provision of $1,100,000 was offset by a
deferred federal benefit of the same amount resulting from the recognition of
the carryback of future deductible amounts.
In August 1993 tax law changes were enacted which resulted in an
increase in RIH's federal income tax rate. The increase resulted in a $400,000
increase in RIH's deferred income tax liability and a deferred income tax
provision of the same amount. The provision for income taxes in 1993 also
includes a current federal provision of $2,600,000 related to federal taxable
income generated in 1993, which is offset by a deferred federal benefit of
$2,600,000 resulting from the recognition of the carryback of future deductible
amounts.
No state tax provision was recorded in 1994 or 1993 due to the
utilization of state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards.
As described in Note 1, in 1992 RIH had an agreement with RII to
provide for federal and state income taxes at a combined rate of 40%. In 1992
this resulted in income tax expense of $10,942,000.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of RIH's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of
December 31 were as follows:

For federal tax purposes RIH had NOL carryforwards of approximately
$188,000,000 at December 31, 1994 which expire from 2003 through 2005. These
loss carryforwards were produced in periods prior to a change in ownership of
the consolidated group of which RIH is a part; therefore, these loss
carryforwards are limited in their availability to offset future taxable
income. For federal tax purposes, this limitation is considered to be owned by
a common parent and would not be available to RIH unless the parent made an
affirmative election to allocate some of the limitation to RIH. Such election
would not be made until such time as RIH ceases to be a member of the group.
For financial reporting purposes, the tax provision has been computed
as if RIH were entitled to a full allocation of the group's limitation. This
F - 45
<PAGE> 212
has the effect of reducing RIH's current tax provision; any remaining current
tax provision of RIH is fully offset by a deferred tax benefit based on the
reversal of temporary differences. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement
provided for in the Indentures, RIH is not permitted to make any tax payments
to RII unless RII is in a taxpaying position on a consolidated basis.
At December 31, 1994, RIH had NOL carryforwards in New Jersey of
approximately $136,000,000, which expire from 1995 through 1997.
Also, for federal tax purposes, RIH had tax credit carryforwards of
$2,100,000 at December 31, 1994, which expire from 1998 through 2009.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
CRDA
The Casino Control Act, as originally adopted, required a licensee to
make investments equal to 2% of the licensee's gross revenue (as defined in the
Casino Control Act) (the "investment obligation") for each calendar year,
commencing in 1979, in which such gross revenue exceeded its "cumulative
investments" (as defined in the Casino Control Act). A licensee had five years
from the end of each calendar year to satisfy this investment obligation or
become liable for an "alternative tax" in the same amount. In 1984 the New
Jersey legislature amended the Casino Control Act so that these provisions now
apply only to investment obligations for the years 1979 through 1983.
Effective for 1984 and subsequent years, the amended Casino Control
Act requires a licensee to satisfy its investment obligation by purchasing
bonds to be issued by the CRDA, or by making other investments authorized by
the CRDA, in an amount equal to 1.25% of a licensee's gross revenue. If the
investment obligation is not satisfied, then the licensee will be subject to an
investment alternative tax of 2.5% of gross revenue. Since 1985, a licensee
has been required to make quarterly deposits with the CRDA against its current
year investment obligation.
An analysis of RIH's investment obligations under the Casino Control
Act and RIH's means of settlement since 1979 follows:

</TABLE>
With regard to the housing related investments under audit, in January
1988 the CRDA notified RIH of its interpretation as to the periods of time
during which expenditures could be made to satisfy investment obligations.
CRDA's interpretation differs from RIH's and if found to be correct would
decrease the amount of RIH's qualifying expenditures by approximately
$5,000,000 to $6,000,000. RIH believes that its interpretation is correct and
intends to contest this issue.
RIH also received a letter dated November 9, 1989, from the State of
New Jersey Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") stating that the housing
related investments made by RIH were not sufficient to meet its investment
obligation for the years 1979 through 1983. The letter also stated that
alternative tax in the amount of $21,637,000 was due for those years, in
addition to penalties and interest thereon which amounted to $12,514,000 as of
the date of the letter. As set forth in the table above, RIH believes that
$8,533,000 of such obligations have been settled; $7,533,000 in cash and
$1,000,000 by previously approved housing related investments. Also, RIH has
received audit reports issued by an agency acting on behalf of the Treasury
identifying $10,165,000 of project development costs available for investment
credit towards the investment obligation. This leaves a total of $2,939,000 of
housing related investments under audit in question. RIH has notified the
Treasury that it takes exception to the Treasury's computation of amounts due.
Further, RIH believes that the $2,939,000 of housing related investments in
question will be found, under further audit, to have been satisfied.
These matters have been dormant for some time. RIH was verbally
contacted by the Treasury in late 1993 regarding the Treasury's proposal for a
resolution of these matters, but has had no communication since then. If the
CRDA's interpretation as to the periods of time during which qualifying
expenditures can be made is found to be correct, or if the Treasury's issue is
determined adversely, RIH could be required to pay the relevant amount in cash
to the CRDA. In the opinion of management, based upon advice of
F - 48
<PAGE> 215
counsel, the aggregate liability, if any, arising from these issues will not
have a material adverse effect on the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
As reflected in the table above, through December 31, 1994, RIH had
made CRDA deposits/bond purchases totalling $39,056,000. However, in August
1989 RIH donated $12,048,000 to the CRDA in exchange for which RIH was relieved
of its obligation to purchase CRDA bonds of $18,193,000. Because RIH already
had the $18,193,000 for bond purchases on deposit with the CRDA, the difference
between this amount and the amount of the donation, or $6,145,000, was refunded
to RIH in August 1989. Thus, at December 31, 1994, RIH had a remaining balance
of $5,286,000 face value of bonds issued by the CRDA and had $15,577,000 on
deposit with the CRDA. These bonds and deposits, net of an estimated discount
charged to expense to reflect the below-market interest rate payable on the
bonds, were recorded as other assets in RIH's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
RIH records charges to expense to reflect the below-market interest
rate payable on the bonds it may have to purchase to fulfill its investment
obligation at the date the obligation arises. The charges in 1994, 1993 and
1992 for discounts on obligations arising in those years were $1,461,000,
$1,541,000 and $1,451,000 respectively.
Litigation
RIH is a defendant in certain litigation. In the opinion of
management, based upon advice of counsel, the aggregate liability, if any,
arising from such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholder
Resorts International Hotel Financing, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Resorts
International Hotel Financing, Inc. ("RIHF") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1994. RIHF is a wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts International,
Inc. 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 RIHF at December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting

Resorts International Hotel Financing, Inc. ("RIHF") was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware in June 1993. RIHF, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Resorts International, Inc. ("RII"), was organized to issue the
public debt securities described in Note 2 in connection with a plan of
reorganization of RII. RIHF is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $.01 per share. One share was issued to RII for $10
in October 1993.
Until the issuance of the securities described in Note 2 in May of
1994, RIHF had no operations. Therefore no Statements of Operations or Cash
Flows are presented for 1993.
NOTE 2 - NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM AFFILIATE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
RII's Reorganization
RII and GGRI, Inc. ("GGRI"), a subsidiary of RII and the guarantor of
RII's Senior Secured Redeemable Notes which were due April 15, 1994 (the
"Series Notes"), proposed a restructuring (the "Restructuring") of the Series
Notes which was accomplished through a prepackaged bankruptcy plan of
reorganization (the "Plan"). On March 21, 1994, after receiving the requisite
acceptances for confirmation of the Plan from holders of the Series Notes and
equity interests in RII, RII and GGRI filed their prepackaged bankruptcy cases
with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
"Bankruptcy Court"). The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April
22, 1994 and on May 3, 1994 (the "Effective Date") all conditions to the
effectiveness of the Plan were either met or waived and the Plan became
effective.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Series Notes were exchanged for, among other
things, $125,000,000 principal amount of 11% Mortgage Notes (the "Mortgage
Notes") due September 15, 2003 and $35,000,000 principal amount of 11.375%
Junior Mortgage Notes (the "Junior Mortgage Notes") due December 15, 2004.
Hereinafter the Mortgage Notes and the Junior Mortgage Notes, collectively, are
referred to as the "New Debt Securities." The New Debt Securities were issued
by RIHF and guaranteed by Resorts International Hotel, Inc. ("RIH"), RII's
subsidiary that owns and operates Merv Griffin's Resorts Casino Hotel ("Resorts
Casino Hotel") in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Also pursuant to the Plan, RIHF,
RIH and RII entered into the senior note purchase agreement (the "Senior
Facility") described below.
F - 54
<PAGE> 221
In order to accomplish RII's exchange of the Series Notes, the
Restructuring provided for RIHF to issue the New Debt Securities in exchange
for a $125,000,000 promissory note receivable from RIH (the "RIH Promissory
Note") and a $35,000,000 promissory note receivable from RIH (the "RIH Junior
Promissory Note").
The Junior Mortgage Notes were issued as part of "Units" with shares
of RII's class B redeemable common stock (the "Class B Stock"). Each Unit
comprises $1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes and one share of
Class B Stock. Junior Mortgage Notes may not be transferred separately from
the related shares of Class B Stock. Holders of Class B Stock are entitled to
elect one-third of the Board of Directors of RII and under certain
circumstances they would be entitled to elect a majority of RII's Board of
Directors. Approximately 35,000 Units were issued pursuant to the Plan.
New Debt Securities
The Mortgage Notes are secured by the RIH Promissory Note, the terms
of which mirror the terms of the Mortgage Notes. The RIH Promissory Note and
RIH's guaranty of the Mortgage Notes are secured by liens on the Resorts Casino
Hotel, consisting of RIH's fee and leasehold interests comprising the Resorts
Casino Hotel, the contiguous parking garage and property, all additions and
improvements thereto, and related personal property. The liens securing the
Mortgage Notes will be subordinated to the lien securing the Senior Facility
Notes (described below), if the Senior Facility Notes are issued.
The Junior Mortgage Notes are secured by the RIH Junior Promissory
Note, the terms of which mirror the terms of the Junior Mortgage Notes. In
certain circumstances, interest payable on the Junior Mortgage Notes may be
satisfied by the issuance of additional Junior Mortgage Notes, in which case
the balance of the RIH Junior Promissory Note would increase accordingly. The
RIH Junior Promissory Note and RIH's guaranty of the Junior Mortgage Notes are
also secured by liens on the Resorts Casino Hotel property as described above.
The liens securing the Junior Mortgage Notes will be subordinated to the lien
securing the Senior Facility Notes, if the Senior Facility Notes are issued,
and are subordinated to the liens securing the Mortgage Notes.
The indentures pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes and the Junior
Mortgage Notes were issued (collectively, the "Indentures") prohibit RIHF from
paying dividends, from making other distributions in respect of its capital
stock, and from purchasing or redeeming its capital stock, with certain
exceptions.
The Indentures also contain certain other restrictive covenants on the
part of RIHF, including (i) limitations on incurring additional indebtedness,
with certain exceptions; (ii)
F - 55
<PAGE> 222
restrictions on making loans to an affiliate or other person other than (x)
intercompany advances to RII not in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate at
any time outstanding and (y) indebtedness evidenced by the RIH Senior Facility
Promissory Note (defined below), the RIH Promissory Note and the RIH Junior
Promissory Note and (iii) restrictions from entering into transactions with
affiliates, other than transactions entered into in connection with the Senior
Facility, on terms less favorable to RIHF than an arm's length transaction.
In November 1994, RIH purchased 12,899 Units comprising $12,899,000
principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes and 12,899 shares of Class B Stock at
a price of $6,740,000. Although these notes held by RIH have not been
cancelled and remain outstanding legally, the accompanying financial statements
include the RIH Junior Promissory Note, the Junior Mortgage Notes and related
interest income, expense and cash flow amounts net of reductions related to the
notes held by RIH.
The carrying value and fair value by component of long-term debt at
December 31 were as follows:

Interest on the Mortgage Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15
and September 15 in each year. Interest on the Junior Mortgage Notes is
payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 in each year.
The effective interest rates on RIHF's publicly held debt at December
31, 1994 were as follows: Mortgage Notes - 13.9% and Junior Mortgage Notes -
14.6%. No principal payments are required during the next five years on the
Mortgage Notes or the Junior Mortgage Notes.

Senior Facility
The Senior Facility among RIHF, RII and RIH and certain funds and
accounts advised or managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, as
amended in February 1995, is available for a single borrowing of up to
$19,738,000 during the period ending May 2, 1996, through the issuance of notes
(the "Senior Facility Notes"). If issued, the Senior Facility Notes will bear
interest at 11.75% and will be due in 2002. The Senior Facility Notes will be
senior obligations of RIHF secured by a promissory note from RIH in an
aggregate principal amount of up to $19,738,000 (the "RIH Senior Facility
Promissory Note") payable in amounts and at times necessary to pay the
principal of and interest on the Senior Facility Notes. The Senior Facility
Notes will be guaranteed by RIH and secured by a lien on the Resorts Casino
Hotel property as described above. The Senior Facility Notes will also be
secured by a pledge by GGRI of all issued and outstanding shares of RIH common
stock. In addition, the Senior Facility Notes will be guaranteed by RII, which
guaranty will be secured by a pledge of all the issued and outstanding stock of
GGRI and RIHF. Market interest rates and other economic conditions, among
other factors, will determine if it is appropriate for RII or RIH to draw on
the Senior Facility.

(A) The Company's Paradise Island operations were disposed of on May 3,
1994, through the SIHL Sale, as part of the Restructuring. Earnings
(loss) from operations for the second quarter of 1994 includes a loss
of $73,108,000 on the SIHL Sale and a $20,525,000 charge for the
write-down of non-operating real estate in Atlantic City. Earnings
(loss) from operations for the fourth quarter of 1994 includes a
credit adjustment of $645,000 to the loss on SIHL Sale. See Notes 2
and 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(B) In October 1994, after settlement of the majority of recapitalization
costs and updating estimates of unbilled costs and costs still to be
incurred, the Company determined that the cash balance required to
pay such costs was $1,300,000 less than originally anticipated. This
determination resulted in the $1,300,000 reclassification from
recapitalization costs to extraordinary items reported in the third
quarter of 1994. Recapitalization costs in the fourth quarter of
1994 represent credits resulting from the reversal of restructuring
reserves provided in connection with the Company's 1990 plan of
reorganization.

discounts.
(D) See Notes 2 and 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
