            SUN INTERNATIONAL NORTH AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.       General:

         The accompanying  consolidated interim financial statements,  which are
unaudited,  include the  operations of Sun  International  North  America,  Inc.
("SINA") and its  subsidiaries.  The term "Company" as used herein includes SINA
and its  subsidiaries.  SINA is a wholly owned  subsidiary of Sun  International
Hotels Limited ("SIHL").

         While the  accompanying  interim  financial  information  is unaudited,
management  of the Company  believes that all  adjustments  necessary for a fair
presentation  of these interim  results have been made and all such  adjustments
are of a normal recurring  nature.  The seasonality of the business is described
in  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of
Operations in the SINA 1998 Form 10-K.  The results of operations  for the three
month and six month  periods  presented  are not  necessarily  indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.

         The  notes  presented  herein  are  intended  to  provide  supplemental
disclosure of items of  significance  occurring  subsequent to December 31, 1998
and  should  be read in  conjunction  with the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements contained in pages 39 through 53 of the SINA 1998 Form 10-K.

B.       Recent Events - Nevada:

         On May 17,  1999,  the Company and SIHL  entered into an Asset and Land
Purchase  Agreement  (the "DI  Purchase  Agreement")  with  Starwood  Hotels and
Resorts Worldwide  ("Starwood") pursuant to which SIHL has agreed to acquire the
Desert Inn Hotel and Casino (the  "Desert  Inn") in Las Vegas for $275  million.
The all cash  transaction is subject to the  satisfaction of various  conditions
contained  in the DI Purchase  Agreement,  including  receipt by the Company and
SIHL of a gaming license in Nevada. The Company has been advised by counsel that
the licensing process in Nevada could take up to 18 months. Upon consummation of
this transaction, the Desert Inn will be wholly-owned by SINA.

         Pursuant to the DI Purchase  Agreement,  SIHL has agreed to acquire all
of the assets of Starwood  that comprise the Desert Inn,  including,  a 715-room
hotel,  casino,  spa  and  country  club  situated  on  25  acres,  an  18  hole
championship  golf course on  approximately  140 acres and a further 32 acres of
undeveloped  land on the Las Vegas  Strip  located  across  from the  3,036-room
Venetian  Resort  Hotel  and  Casino  and  the 1.2  million  square  foot  Sands
Convention Center. The Desert Inn facilities are in excellent condition,  having
undergone a $200 million expansion and renovation in 1997.
<PAGE>

         As   part   of the  transaction,  SIHL and  Starwood  will  enter  into
a  marketing  alliance, pursuant to which SIHL's  properties on Paradise  Island
and the Desert Inn will be included in Starwood's Preferred Guest Program. SIHL
and Starwood also agreed to establish a joint  venture with the  intention of
developing  350  timeshare units at the Desert Inn.

     On June 1, 1999, SINA paid $15 million into an escrow account as a deposit,
which amount plus  interest will be credited  towards the $275 million  purchase
price at the closing of the  transaction.  This  deposit is included in deferred
charges and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. At the
closing,  Starwood  has agreed that the Desert Inn will be  transferred  with $5
million of working capital, as defined.  In addition,  SIHL has agreed to pay to
Starwood interest on the $275 million purchase price for the period beginning on
the date the sale of Starwood's  Caesar's operations to Park Place Entertainment
is consummated  and ending on the date the DI Purchase  Agreement is consummated
at an annual  interest  rate  equal to the lesser of (i) the  interest  rate for
revolving loans under  Starwood's bank credit agreement or (ii) 7.00% per annum.
In the event the closing of the DI Purchase Agreement does not occur until after
July 17, 2000, interest on the purchase price thereafter shall accrue at 10%.

          SIHL  intends to  finance  the  payment  of  amounts  due under the DI
Purchase Agreement by using cash flow from operations of its consolidated group,
repayments of subordinated  notes  receivable held by SIHL,  drawing on existing
bank lines and accessing capital markets.

C.       Reverse Repurchase Agreements:

     Cash  equivalents  at June  30,  1999  included  $6.3  million  of  reverse
repurchase  agreements (federal government securities purchased under agreements
to resell those  securities)  under which the Company had not taken  delivery of
the underlying  securities.  These  agreements  matured during the first week of
July 1999.

D        Statements of Cash Flows:

     Supplemental  disclosures  required by Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 95 "Statement of Cash Flows" are presented below.

E.       Comprehensive Income

     Comprehensive  income  is  equal to net  earnings  (loss)  for all  periods
presented.

F.       Reclassifications

         Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to the  1998  balances  to
conform with the current year presentation.

G.       Commitments and Contingencies:

         Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (the "CRDA")

         The New Jersey Casino Control Act, as amended,  requires the Company to
purchase  bonds issued by the CRDA, or to make other  investments  authorized by
the CRDA, in an amount equal to 1.25% of its gross gaming revenues,  as defined.
The CRDA bonds have interest  rates ranging from 3.6% to 7.0% and have repayment
terms of between 20 and 50 years.

         At June 30, 1999,  SINA had $11.4 million face value of bonds issued by
the CRDA and had  $16.8  million  on  deposit  with the  CRDA.  These  bonds and
deposits,  net of an  estimated  discount to reflect the  below-market  interest
rates payable on the bonds, are included in deferred charges and other assets in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

         In February 1999, the Company and various Atlantic City casinos entered
into agreements with the CRDA to invest in a project the CRDA and the New Jersey
Sports and Exposition Authority are planning,  to renovate the existing Atlantic
City  Boardwalk  Convention  Center into a 10,000 to 14,000 seat special  events
center (the "Project").
<PAGE>

         The  Project is  budgeted  to cost $72.9  million and will be funded in
phases through direct investments from various Atlantic City casinos,  including
the Company.  Of the total  budgeted cost, the Company has agreed to invest $8.7
million  in cash  which  will be paid from  funds the  Company  has or will have
deposited with the CRDA to meet its investment  obligations as described  above.
As of June 30, 1999, $1.4 million of the total amount deposited with the CRDA by
the Company had been  allocated  to the  Project.  As the CRDA  allocates  funds
deposited by the Company to the Project,  the Company will receive an investment
credit reducing its obligation to purchase CRDA bonds in an equal amount.

         Purchase Commitments

         At June 30,  1999,  the Company  had  unfunded  contracts  in place for
capital  expenditures of $4.9 million related a renovation of the Resorts Casino
Hotel (the "Renovation").

         Litigation

         SINA  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries  are  defendants  in  certain
litigation.  Except for items disclosed in the 1998 SINA 10-K, 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.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity

         At June 30, 1999 the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current
assets  by  $19.9  million.  The  Company's  cash  is  required  for  day-to-day
operations of the Resorts Casino Hotel, including approximately $15.0 million of
currency and coin on hand which amount varies by days of the week,  holidays and
seasons.

         As  described  below,  in early July 1999,  the  Company  substantially
completed the  Renovation.  Available  cash balances in excess of those required
for day to day  operations  have been  utilized  during the  quarter to fund the
Renovation.  In  addition,  the Company drew funds  available  under an existing
credit facility as necessary to meet its cash requirements. This credit facility
is also available to certain of the Company's unconsolidated affiliates.
<PAGE>

  Capital Expenditures and Resources

         As of July 5, 1999,  substantially all of the Renovation was completed.
This included extensive renovations to the casino floor, hotel lobby, guestrooms
and suites,  room  corridors,  restaurants  the hotel  porte  cochere and public
areas.  In addition,  three new theme  restaurants  were created,  replacing two
older restaurants, and a VIP player lounge was constructed. The Company plans to
renovate  the  entertainment  lounge,  which is  scheduled  to commence in early
January  2000 and is  anticipated  to be completed  during the first  quarter of
2000. The total cost of the  Renovation,  including the work scheduled for early
2000, is expected to be  approximately  $52.0 million.  As of June 30, 1999, the
Company had spent $36.6  million on the  Renovation,  and of this amount,  $23.5
million was spent in the first six months of 1999.

         Management  believes that existing cash balances,  the available credit
facility  and  operating  cash flows will  provide the Company  with  sufficient
resources to meet its foreseeable capital expenditure  requirements and existing
debt obligations with respect to current operations for at least the next twelve
months.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

         Second Quarter and First Half of 1999 Compared to 1998

         Atlantic City Casino and Resort Revenues

         Casino  revenues were down $5.0 million  (8.5%) for the second  quarter
and $14.1  million  (11.9%)  for the first half of 1999.  The  decrease  in both
periods was  primarily due to lower slot  revenues  and, to a lesser  extent,  a
decrease in table game revenues.

         Slot revenues were lower by $3.5 million  (7.9%) for the second quarter
and $11.6  million  (13.3%)  for the first half due to a decrease in slot handle
(dollar amounts  wagered).  Commencing in February 1999, the Company took out of
service  and/or  removed  from the floor as many as 800 slot  units from time to
time in order to renovate the existing  casino floor.  During the second quarter
of 1999, Resorts had an average of 1,901 slot units in service compared to 2,244
units during the same period of 1998 as a result of the Renovation.

         Table games revenues were lower by $1.5 million  (10.5%) for the second
quarter  and $2.2  million  (7.2%) for the first half due to a decrease in table
game drop (the dollar amount of chips purchased). Throughout the second quarter,
the Company  continued to add, remove,  and relocate table game units due to the
Renovation. As a result, there was an average of 64 table games units in service
compared to 78 units during the second quarter of 1998.
<PAGE>

         The  Company  also  experienced  slight  decreases  in rooms,  food and
beverage and other casino and resort  revenues,  in both the second  quarter and
first half,  as a result of the  Renovation.  Throughout  the year,  in order to
complete the  renovation  of its existing  hotel rooms,  the Company took out of
service an average of 45 rooms, of its existing inventory of 658 rooms.

         Tour operations

         Revenues from tour operations increased by $2.5 million (70.3%) for the
second quarter and by $5.1 million  (72.9%) for the first half.  These increases
were  the  result  of  the  Company's  tour  operator  subsidiary  significantly
expanding its  operations in response to the expansion of the resort  operations
of a subsidiary of SIHL located in The Bahamas.

         Management Fees and Other Income

         Management  fees and other  income  increased  by $2.9  million  in the
second quarter and $5.7 million in the first half. This increase in revenues was
primarily due to changes in the management services  agreement.  The increase in
management  fees for the first half was partially  offset by a decrease in other
income as the first half of 1998  included  rental  income of $754,000  for land
sold by the Company in February 1998.

Expenses

         Atlantic City Casino and Resort Revenues

         While casino  revenues in the second quarter were down,  casino expense
increased slightly.  This was due to increased promotional costs which more than
offset a decrease of  $500,000 in casino win tax which is based on a  percentage
of casino win. During the second quarter management decided to increase cash and
coin  promotions to entice  patrons  during the  Renovation.  Casino expense was
lower by $1.3 million for the first half due to lower casino win tax.

         Selling, general and administrative

         Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $2.1 million in
the second  quarter and $878,000 in the first half.  This was due primarily
to an increase in corporate  payroll and related costs, as well as numerous
other administrative costs, none of which were individually significant.
<PAGE>

          Pre-opening expenses

          Pre-opening  expenses  of $1.1  million  were  incurred  in the second
quarter related to the grand opening of the  Renovation,  which occurred in
July 1999, and which primarily  comprised  advertising  costs. Other Income
(Expense).

          Other Income (Expense)

         Interest expense was lower by $3.0 million in the first half.  Interest
expense  in 1998  included  $1.5  million  of  interest  costs on the  Company's
non-recourse  debt which was  redeemed  in February  1998.  In the first half of
1999,  interest costs capitalized in connection with the Renovation  amounted to
$907,000.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         The Company utilizes software and related  technologies in parts of its
business that may be affected by the date change in the year 2000  ("Y2K").  The
Company is  continuing  to address the impact of Y2K on its  computer  programs,
resort  facilities and third party  suppliers.  SIHL has established a dedicated
Year 2000 Program  Office and has  contracted  with  independent  consultants to
coordinate the compliance  efforts at each of its  subsidiaries  and ensure that
the project status is monitored and reported throughout the organization.

         The Company primarily uses industry standard automated  applications in
most of its locations. The majority of these applications are believed to be Y2K
compliant,  but the Company is currently testing compliance in coordination with
the vendors.

         The Company has  finalized  its  assessment  of systems and third party
suppliers.  As  information  is  received  related to these  areas,  the Company
develops a strategy for repair or replacement of  non-compliant  systems as well
as testing and validation of such items. The remediation phase is expected to be
complete by the third quarter of 1999.

         To date, SIHL estimates that it has spent approximately $1.6 million on
Y2K efforts across all areas and expects to spend a total of approximately  $2.0
million when  complete.  SIHL expects to fund Y2K costs through  operating  cash
flows. All system costs associated with Y2K are expensed as incurred.

         The Company  presently  believes that upon  remediation of its business
software  applications,  as well as  other  equipment,  the Y2K  issue  will not
present a materially adverse risk to the Company's future  consolidated  results
of operations,  liquidity and capital resources. However, if such remediation is
not  completed  in a timely  manner  or the level of  timely  compliance  by key
suppliers  or vendors  is not  sufficient,  the Y2K issue  could have a material
impact on the Company's operations  including,  but not limited to the provision
of  adequate  utility  services  at the  resort,  resulting  in loss of revenue,
increased operating costs, loss of customers or suppliers,  or other significant
disruptions  to the  Company's  business.  The  Company has  initiated  business
continuity  and  recovery  plans  which  address  these  issues as far as can be
practical.
<PAGE>

         Determining  the Y2K  readiness  of third party  products  and business
dependencies (including suppliers) requires pursuit, collection and appraisal of
voluntary  statements made or provided by those parties, if available,  together
with  independent  factual  research.  Although the Company has taken,  and will
continue to take,  reasonable  efforts to gather  information  to determine  and
verify the readiness of such products and business dependencies, there can be no
assurance  that  reliable  information  will be offered or otherwise  available.
Accordingly, notwithstanding the foregoing efforts, there are no assurances that
the Company is correct in its determination or belief that a business dependency
is Y2K ready.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In the first quarter of 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position
98-5  which  states  that all  start up costs  will be  charged  to  expense  as
incurred.  Adoption of this Statement of Position did not have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The statements  contained  herein include  forward-looking  statements,
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section  21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended.  These
forward-looking  statements  are  based  on  current  expectations,   estimates,
projections, management's beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such
as "expects",  "anticipates",  "intends",  "plans", "believes",  "estimates" and
variations of such words and similar  expressions  are intended to identify such
forward-looking  statements.  Such statements  include  information  relating to
plans for future expansion and other business development  activities as well as
other  capital  spending,  financing  sources  and  the  effects  of  regulation
(including  gaming and tax regulation)  and  competition.  Such  forward-looking
information  involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly
affect  anticipated  results in the future and  accordingly,  such  results  may
differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These
risks and  uncertainties  include,  but are not  limited to,  those  relating to
development  and  construction  activities,  dependence on existing  management,
leverage and debt service  (including  sensitivity to  fluctuations  in interest
rates),  availability of financing,  democratic or global  economic  conditions,
pending  litigation,  changes in tax laws or the administration of such laws and
changes in gaming laws or regulations  (including the  legalization of gaming in
certain jurisdictions).
