                RESORTS INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     A.   General:

          The  accompanying  consolidated interim financial statements, which
     are  unaudited,  include  the operations of Resorts International Hotel,
     Inc. ("RIH") and its subsidiaries.  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 wholly owned subsidiary of Resorts
     I n ternational,  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.

          While  the accompanying interim financial information is unaudited,
     management  of  RIH  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.

          S i gnificant  accounting  principles  and  policies  used  in  the
     preparation  of  the  accompanying consolidated financial statements are
     summarized below.

     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
     f o r   complimentary  services  provided  to  casino  patrons.    These
     allocations  do  not  necessarily  represent  the  incremental  cost  of
     providing such complimentary services to casino patrons.







                                         6<PAGE>


          Amounts allocated to the casino department from the other operating
     departments were as follows:
                                         Quarter Ended   Three Quarters Ended
                                         September 30,       September 30,   
     (In Thousands of Dollars)           1994     1993       1994       1993

     Other casino/hotel operations       1,974    2,005      5,314      5,066

     Total allocated to casino          $6,733   $7,145    $18,950    $20,089
                                                                             

     Cash Equivalents

          RIH  considers  all  of  its  short-term  money  market  securities
     p u rchased  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.

          RIH  accounts  for  income  taxes  under  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.



                                         7<PAGE>
     B.   Restructuring of RII's Series Notes:

          RII  and  GGRI, RII's subsidiary which guaranteed the Series Notes,
     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
     S e c urities."    The  New  Debt  Securities  were  issued  by  Resorts
     International  Hotel Financing, Inc. ("RIHF"), a  subsidiary of RII, and
     are  guaranteed  by  RIH.   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 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 a $35,000,000 promissory
     note  made by RIH (the "RIH Junior Promissory Note"), the terms of which
     m i r r or  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
     a n d   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)
     restrictions on

                                         8<PAGE>

     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
     c a sino/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  F,  the  parent  services  agreement  with  RII which provides for
     payment of the three percent services fee described in Note F, 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")  is  available  for a single borrowing of up to $20,000,000
     during  the  one-year period ending May 2, 1995, through the issuance of
     notes  (the  "Senior  Facility  Notes").  If issued, the Senior Facility
     Notes  will  bear  interest  at 11% 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
     $20,000,000  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 RII or RIH 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 Second Amended RIH-GGRI Notes
          (see  Note  E)  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  a  total  of  5,000,000  shares of common stock
          a u t horized,  of  which  1,000,000  shares  are  issued  and
          outstanding.



                                         9<PAGE>


       -  RIH  distributed  to  GGRI,  as  a  return  of  surplus,  the
          $50,000,000 RIB Note (see Note D).

       -  RIH  distributed  all of its cash and equivalents in excess of
          $ 1 5,000,000  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, 1993 see "Pro
     Forma Financial Data" following Note I.

     C.   Reverse Repurchase Agreements:

          C a sh  equivalents  at  September  30,  1994  included  a  reverse
     repurchase  agreement  (federal government securities purchased under an
     agreement  to resell those securities) with National Westminster Bank NJ
     in  the  amount of $21,346,000 under which RIH had not taken delivery of
     the underlying securities.  The agreement matured on October 3, 1994.

     D.   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 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.
     The  note  was  guaranteed  by  certain  of  RIB's  subsidiaries.    The
     guarantees  were  secured  by  mortgages on the Paradise Island Resort &
     Casino,  the  Ocean Club Golf & Tennis Resort, and the Paradise Paradise
     Beach  Resort  on  Paradise  Island  in  The Bahamas, and all furniture,
     machinery  and equipment used in connection therewith.  The RIB Note was
     cancelled pursuant to the Restructuring.  See Note B.

     E.   Notes Payable to Affiliate:

          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  (i)  two  promissory  notes payable to GGRI (the "RIH-GGRI Notes");
     (ii)  a  first  mortgage  on  the  Resorts  Casino  Hotel  and the other
     properties  owned  by RIH, and a first priority security interest in the
     personal  property  of RIH; and (iii) the assignment of the RIB Note and
     mortgages securing such note. 

          In  1990  the  terms  of  the RIH-GGRI Notes were modified and such
     amended  notes were pledged as collateral for the Series Notes issued by
     RII.    In 1992 the notes were further amended (the "Second Amended RIH-
     GGRI Notes").  The sole purpose of the Second Amended RIH-GGRI Notes was
     to  collateralize RII's Series Notes.  The Second Amended RIH-GGRI Notes
     were  payable  on  demand  after  April  15,  1994 and were non-interest
     bearing, but the principal due on demand by GGRI accreted according to a
     schedule.   The Second Amended RIH-GGRI Notes were cancelled pursuant to
     the Restructuring.  See Note B.  




                                        10<PAGE>


     F.   Related Party Transactions:

     Affiliated Charges from RII

          RII  charges  RIH  a  fee  of  three  percent of gross revenues for
     administrative  and other services.  Recapitalization costs reflected on
     the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  represent RIH's allocated
     portion    of  RII's  consolidated  recapitalization  costs.   Also, RII
     charges RIH $325,000 annually for rental of a warehouse.

          In  addition to the above, charges for insurance cost are allocated
     to RIH based on relative amounts of operating revenue, payroll, property
     value, or other appropriate measures.

     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 the 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  will  continue  in  force  until
     September 17, 1997 unless earlier terminated 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 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 calls 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.

          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,

                                        11<PAGE>


     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.  RII will issue the shares as of August 1, 1994 and
     the  balance  of  prepaid  expenses  at  September 30, 1994 reflects the
     issuance  of  these shares.  The shares will not be registered under the
     Securities Act of 1933 and will be restricted securities.

     G.   Income Taxes:

          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 September 30, 1994 were as follows:

     (In Thousands of Dollars)                                               

     Deferred tax liabilities:
       Basis differences on land                            $(19,300)
       Other                                                    (400)
         Total deferred tax liabilities                      (19,700)

     Deferred tax assets:
       Net operating loss carryforwards                       65,800
       Book reserves not yet deductible for tax               10,800
       Tax credit carryforwards                                2,000
       Basis differences on property and
        equipment, excluding land                              6,400
       Other                                                   2,800
         Total deferred tax assets                            87,800

       Valuation allowance for deferred
        tax assets                                           (87,500)
         Deferred tax assets, net of
          valuation allowance                                    300

     Net deferred tax liabilities                           $(19,400)
                                                                             

         For federal tax purposes RIH had net operating loss carryforwards of
     approximately  $188,000,000 at September 30, 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
     p a rt;  therefore,  these  loss  carryforwards  are  limited  in  their
     availability to offset future taxable income.

     I.   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  under 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.  Certain issues
     have  been  raised  concerning  the  satisfaction  of  RIH's  investment
     obligations  for  the  years  1979 through 1983.  Although these matters
     have  been  dormant  for  some  time, RIH was  verbally contacted by the
     State  of New Jersey Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") in late
     1993 and expects further communication regarding the Treasury's proposal
     for  a  resolution  of  these  matters.   If these issues are 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. 

     Litigation

          RIH  is  a  defendant  in  certain  litigation.   In the opinion of
     management,  based  upon the 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.






                             PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

          S e t   forth  below  is  certain  unaudited  pro  forma  financial
     information for RIH.  The pro forma statements of operations information
     for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1993  and the three quarters ended
     September  30,  1994 gives effect to the Restructuring as if it occurred
     on  January 1, 1993.  The pro forma statements of operations information
     excludes the costs associated with the Restructuring.  The unaudited pro
     forma  information  is  not  necessarily indicative of future results or
     what  RIH's  results  of  operations  would  actually  have been had the
     transactions  occurred  on January 1, 1993.  Such information should not
     be used as a basis to project results for any future period.

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

     FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Liquidity

          At  September  30,  1994  RIH  had  working  capital of $17,425,000
     including $33,525,000 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  B  of  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
     Statements,  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  will total approximately $17,700,000.  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.

          RIHF  will satisfy the $2,499,000 of interest due December 15, 1994
     on  the  Junior Mortgage Notes by cash payment.  Therefore, on that date
     RIH will pay interest due on the RIH Junior Promissory Note in cash.

     Capital Expenditures

          During the first three quarters of 1994 RIH expended $3,885,000 for
     capital  improvements  at Resorts Casino Hotel including the purchase of
     115 slot machines, most of which were replacements for older models, and
     capital maintenance projects.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          RIH operates in one business segment.  Following is a discussion of
     the results of operations for the third quarter and first three quarters
     of  1994 compared to 1993.  The discussion should be read in conjunction
     with the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

     Revenues

           Casino  revenues  were down by $2,814,000 for the third quarter and
     increased  by $706,000 for the first three quarters of 1994.  The modest
     growth  in the Atlantic City casino industry continues with the increase
     in  slot  win  more  than offsetting the decline in table game win.  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.
     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 




                                        18<PAGE>


     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 decreased
     by  $905,000  for  the third quarter and increased by $3,475,000 for the
     first  three quarters.  RIH's win from slot and table games decreased by
     $1,909,000  for  the third quarter and by $2,769,000 for the first three
     quarters of 1994.  RIH's growth in slot win has more than kept pace with
     the  industry's,  as  slot  players  have  been the prime focus of RIH's
     marketing  efforts.    However, RIH's decline in table game win has been
     much  greater  than  that experienced by the industry as a whole because
     RIH's  marketing programs have not targeted table players and RIH's hold
     percentage  (ratio of casino win to total amount of chips purchased) has
     been  below  the industry's average.  RIH recently increased its program
     of charter flights and is reevaluating its marketing efforts with a view
     to recapturing some of its lost market share of table win.

     Earnings from Operations

          For  the  third quarter of 1994 casino, hotel and related operating
     results  increased by $649,000 as the decreased revenues described above
     were  more  than  offset by a net decrease in operating costs.  The most
     significant  variances  in  operating expenses were decreases in payroll
     and  related  costs  ($1,400,000),  casino promotional costs ($800,000),
     other  casino  operating  costs  ($500,000)  and food and beverage costs
     ($400,000).    Payroll  and  related  costs  were  down primarily due to
     decreased  staffing levels.  Other casino operating costs were higher in
     the  third quarter of 1993 due to certain start up costs associated with
     the  opening  of  the simulcast and poker room in late June 1993 and the
     larger  volume  of  activity during its first full quarter of operation.
     The  decrease in food and beverage costs resulted primarily from reduced
     patronage  at  RIH's "all-you-can-eat" Beverly Hills Buffet due to price
     increases,  although  there  has been a general decline in the number of
     patrons served at all of RIH's food and beverage outlets.  Prices at the
     Beverly  Hills  Buffet were increased as management determined that this
     promotion was no longer cost effective at the prior price levels.

          Casino,  hotel  and  related  operating results for the first three
     quarters  of  1994  increased  by  $937,000  due  to  a  net decrease in
     operating  expenses.    The  most  significant  decreases  in  operating
     expenses  in  1994  were  in  food  and  beverage costs ($1,300,000) and
     payroll  and  related  costs  ($1,000,000)  due to the reasons described
     above.    Advertising  costs  were  also  down  ($600,000) as the second
     q u arter  of  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 for 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 ($1,500,000) due primarily to the "cash-back" program noted above,
     which  commenced  in  late  April  1993.   Since the introduction of the
     "cash-back" program RIH has reduced certain other cash giveaways.  Other
     significant  cost  increases  were  in  entertainment ($600,000) and the
     accrual  for  management  incentive  bonuses  ($700,000).  Entertainment
     costs  were  up as more revue and headliner shows were presented in 1994
     and the revue shows included more featured performers.

     Other Income (Deductions)

          RIH's   interest  income  has  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 B of Notes to Consolidated
     Financial Statements for the terms of such new debt.


     PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

     Item 5.  Other Information

          RIHF  has  determined the issue price of the Mortgage Notes and the
     Junior  Mortgage  Notes  to  be used in calculating the related original
     issue  discount  for  Federal  income  tax  purposes  to be 85% and 83%,
     respectively.
