PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
-----------------------
General
Creative Gaming, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on
August 31, 1988 under the laws of the State of New Jersey to
provide management and administrative services to its wholly-
owned subsidiaries. The Company and its operating subsidiaries
are collectively referred to herein as "CGI." As a result of the
change in strategic focus as described in the succeeding
paragraph, the Company's Board of Directors sought and obtained
shareholders' consent, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held
on May 8, 1997, to a change in name from Creative Learning
Products, Inc. (its name since incorporation) to Creative Gaming,
Inc. in order to describe better the future operations of CGI.
CGI is in the process of converting into a developer of
offshore casino gaming vessels, other gaming facilities and
entertainment as well as the development of real estate in the
Branson, Missouri area. Management's intentions are that the
primary future focus of CGI during the fiscal year ending May 31,
1998 ("fiscal 1998") and the ensuing fiscal year will be on
utilizing a vessel for gaming cruises originating in New York
City (the "Gaming Vessel Project") (see the section "Gaming
Vessel Project" in this Item 1 to this Report) conducted on
behalf of the Company through CGI Vessel, Inc. ("CGIV"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in December
1996. The projects to open, through another wholly-owned
subsidiary Creative Gaming International, Inc. ("CGII")
incorporated in March 1994 (the "Branson Projects"), a Native
American Indian gaming casino near Seneca, Missouri and a
hotel/convention center, and a time sharing facility on sites
purchased by CGII in Christian County, Missouri are currently at
a standstill, while the other Branson Project to present a play
in Branson, Missouri has been abandoned (see the section "Branson
Projects" in Item 1 to this Report). Assuming that definitive
agreements are executed and that the Company obtains necessary
governmental approvals and adequate financing, as to none of
which there can be any assurance, management believes that the
earliest project (i.e., the Gaming Vessel Project) will not begin
to produce revenues for CGI until the first half of calendar
1998, if not later, and that the other projects will take
approximately one to two years after their resumption to produce
revenues, if not longer. There can be no assurance that any of
these contemplated timetables will be realized. In addition, the
Company has been restructuring its capitalization through the
issuance of its equity securities, in private placements and upon
the exercise of warrants, and the satisfaction of other
indebtedness. See the section "Certain Securities Transactions"
in this Item 1 to this Report.
Existing Operations
As of May 31, 1997, the Company's principal wholly-owned
operating subsidiaries were (1) Kards for Kids, Inc. ("KFK"), an
original subsidiary of the Company, (2) John Patrick Productions,
Inc. ("JPP"), the net assets of which were acquired effective
July 1, 1994, (3) CGII and (4) CGIV. CGI's results of operations
for the fiscal years ended May 31, 1997 ("fiscal
<PAGE 3>
1997") and 1996 ("fiscal 1996"), which are included in Item 7 to this
Report, reflect, in addition to the Company, the consolidated operations
of these subsidiaries.
KFK markets and distributes products for children between the
ages of 18 months and 12 years, including stationery, cards,
workbooks, paper activity placemats and educational video and
audio cassettes. KFK sells its products directly to the consumer
and through mail order, retailers and distributors. Management
has had preliminary discussions which dealt with a possible sale
or license of certain assets relating to KFK business and prior
to fiscal 1996 reduced the marketing of such operations to a
minimum. However, as of the date of this Report, no commitment to
sell had been made nor were there any pending negotiations and
KFK operations were producing revenues.
JPP is engaged primarily in the mail order business with
products consisting of instructional video tapes and other
products related to gaming.
Gaming Vessel Project
On November 13, 1996 the Company, through CGII, purchased, for
approximately $523,000, a hull for the purpose of converting the
hull into an offshore gaming vessel. CGI planned to utilize the
vessel for gaming cruises originating in New York (i.e. the
Gaming Vessel Project). On March 7, 1997 ownership of the vessel
was transferred from CGII to CGIV to account for its operations
as a separate entity. Because of the significant costs to be
incurred in refurbishing the hull (estimated to be $25,000,000),
the Company is considering the leasing or purchasing of a smaller
vessel (at a cost estimated to be $7,000,000) which is already
usable as a gaming vessel. CGIV would, in such circumstances,
defer the refurbishing of the hull pending revenues from the
other vessel and/or additional funding in an amount sufficient to
fund such costs of refurbishing. CGI is currently evaluating
sites in New York to determine where the vessel will be docked.
CGI anticipates a vessel to be in service during the first half
of calendar 1998, if not later. Certain governmental approvals
will be necessary before the vessel can be put into service as a
gaming vessel and there can be no assurance that such approvals
will be obtained. Management contemplates that, if a vessel is
operational and the governmental approvals are obtained, the
vessel will offer dining facilities and possibly entertainment.
As of May 31, 1997, CGI capitalized approximately $211,000 of
costs toward the conversion of the hull into a gaming vessel, and
fully charged to operations approximately $153,000 of other costs
incurred in the Gaming Vessel Project.
Because the Gaming Vessel Project, if consummated, can create a
revenue stream for CGI at an earlier date than the other
contemplated gaming projects (see the sections "Branson Projects"
and "Other Gaming Projects" in this Item 1 to this Report), CGI
intends to give priority to this project and, if successful, to
consider other gaming vessel projects. There can be no assurance
that management's expectations will be realized on a timely
basis.
Branson Projects
Commencing in February 1994, CGI sought to initiate various
projects in or near Branson, Missouri (in the southwest portion
of that State), none of which has come to fruition as of this
date and most of which, if not all, may never produce revenues
for CGI. The Branson Projects
<PAGE 4>
contemplated construction, financing and managing of one or two
Native American gaming facilities, production of a musical play,
purchase of a theater in Branson and the opening of a theme park, a
hotel/convention center and time sharing facilities.
On March 31, 1995, CGII purchased a 37-acre site in Christian
County, Missouri which abuts the site referred to in the
following paragraph. The purchase price for the land was recorded
at $288,664. (A copy of the agreement relating to this purchase
is filed (by incorporation by reference) as an exhibit to this
Report and is incorporated herein by this reference.)
On February 28, 1996, CGII purchased a 728-acre site in
Christian County, Missouri, abutting approximately two and a half
miles along State Highway 65, the main road between Springfield,
Missouri and Branson, Missouri. (A copy of the agreement relating
to the purchase is filed (by incorporation by reference) as an
exhibit to this Report and is incorporated herein by this
reference.) The purchase price for the land was recorded at
$2,121,788. The sellers of the property hold a mortgage in the
original amount of $1,072,475 (see Note 7 to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 7 to this Report). This property and
the property in the preceding paragraph are jointly referred to
as the "Christian County Site".
Management's initial intention was to use a portion of the
Christian County Site to construct, finance and manage, under the
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (the "IGRA"), a gaming
facility for the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma (the "Tribe").
For various reasons, such project has been canceled. However,
management was still of the opinion that the Christian County
Site could be used for a time sharing facility, a theme park, a
hotel/convention center and/or other activities. Management
believed that these contemplated facilities, if opened, would
have been added attractions to produce revenues from persons
otherwise attracted by the other entertainment attractions of
Branson, Missouri not operated by CGI. However, the recent shift
in emphasis to the Gaming Vessel Project has caused management to
temporarily suspend the development of the Christian County Site
as initially contemplated. There can be no assurance that CGI
will eventually utilize the sites for these purposes. Management
believes, based on a recent third party appraisal obtained by the
Company, that the current fair value of the Christian County Site
supports its carrying value as of May 31, 1997.
CGII had also entered into a management agreement with the
Tribe to construct, finance and manage, pursuant to IGRA, a Class
A/Class III gaming facility near Seneca, Missouri (the "Seneca
Facility"). (A copy of the management agreement and the related
loan agreement with the Tribe are filed (by incorporation by
reference) as exhibits to this Report and are incorporated herein
by this reference.) The IGRA creates a three-tiered
classification of gaming operations and provides for varying
degrees of federal, state and tribal regulation over each class.
Class I gaming, over which Indian tribes exercise exclusive
regulatory control, consists of social games for minimal prizes
or as part of tribal ceremonies or celebrations. Class II gaming
includes bingo, pull tabs and other bingo-type games, while Class
III gaming includes all other forms of gaming, such as video
games, slot machines, table games (i.e., blackjack, craps and
roulette) and parimutuel wagering.
Because of a federal circuit court decision invalidating the
statutory right of the Secretary of the Interior to dedicate land
in trust for Native American Indian tribes under the Indian
Reorganization Act and a pending battle for control of the Tribe,
with one of the issues being the
<PAGE 5>
management agreement with CGII, CGII had suspended any further action
by it with respect to the Seneca Facility. Depending on developments,
CGI will review whether it will attempt to proceed with the project or
whether it will seek to recover sums previously advanced to the Tribe
(including $120,000 to an affiliate of the Tribe to acquire the
site), recognizing that, because the Tribe is a sovereign nation,
legal actions against it may be difficult. Even if the Tribe and
CGII agree to proceed with the Seneca Facility, as to which there
can be no assurance, because of the governmental approvals, it
might be two years or more after resumption of the project before
revenues could be realized from the Seneca Facility. As of May
31, 1997, all of the costs incurred on the Seneca Facility have
been fully charged to operations.
Because the Gaming Vessel Project, if consummated, can create a
revenue stream at an earlier date than any portion of the Branson
Projects, management believes it more prudent to focus its
immediate efforts on the Gaming Vessel Project.
One of the Branson Projects was to purchase a theater in
Branson, Missouri and produce a play on the life of Roy Rogers.
The rights to the play terminated and the Company contested the
safety of the theater with its owner. Accordingly, this aspect of
the Branson Projects was terminated during fiscal 1996, although
the Company may at a later date seek recovery of $775,000 in
option payments relating to the theater, as to which claim there
can be no assurance of success. (A copy of the agreement relating
to the option and purchase is filed (by incorporation by
reference) as an exhibit to this Report and is incorporated
herein by this reference).
As of May 31, 1996, CGI had fully charged to operations and
retired approximately $2,800,000 of costs incurred on portions of
the Branson Projects relating to the proposed theater acquisition
and joint venture for the Branson Projects.
Other Gaming Projects
As alternatives or additions to the Gaming Vessel Project and
the Branson Projects, CGI has been exploring the possibility of
opening and operating other gaming facilities. To assist the
Company in seeking and negotiating such opportunities with all
the gaming projects, CGI has been using, since May 1995, the
services of Harvey Freeman as a consultant. Mr. Freeman was
formerly Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and
is familiar with its and other gaming operations. Mr. Freeman
intends to serve as President of CGII and CGIV when financing is
obtained. There can be no assurance that any Other Gaming
Projects will materialize or that thereafter CGI will obtain the
necessary financing or governmental approvals to open and operate
the same. During fiscal 1997, CGI charged to operations
approximately $271,000 of other gaming costs.
Sale of Congress
Effective November 30, 1996, Nightwing Entertainment Group,
Inc. ("Nightwing") purchased all of the assets with a value of
approximately $374,000 and assumed all of the liabilities of
approximately $486,000 of Congress Entertainment, an operating
division of KFK ("Congress"), for 2,000,000 shares of Nightwing
common stock valued at $100,000, pursuant to a purchase agreement
dated October 18, 1996 and an assumption agreement dated November
30, 1996 (the
<PAGE 6>
"Sale Agreement"). (Copies of both agreements with
Nightwing are filed as exhibits to this Report and are
incorporated herein by this reference.) Pursuant to the Sale
Agreement, Nightwing was to file a Form 10 and all required
reports under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") and to register under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Nightwing common
stock issued to the Company. Congress was a distributor of
quality sell-through pre-recorded video cassettes to schools,
libraries, specialty retail chains and the mass merchandising
market.
As part of a payment agreement between George Spitzer &
Associates ("Spitzer") and the Company, and in conjunction with
the assumption of the Congress liabilities by Nightwing, the
Company placed 45,000 shares of the Common Stock in escrow, to be
released to Spitzer in four years to the extent that the Congress
liability due Spitzer and assumed by Nightwing in the amount of
$45,845 is not paid by Nightwing during the four-year period.
Effective March 1, 1997, because of non-payment of its
liability to the Company, Nightwing executed a convertible
promissory note payable to the Company (the "Note") in the
principal amount of $347,000, at an annual interest rate of 8%
and payable in monthly installments of $14,500 commencing March
31, 1997. The principal amount of the Note included the amount
due the Company from Nightwing, certain other Congress
liabilities assumed by Nightwing that the Company may eventually
be required to pay, and the contingent liability to Spitzer
related to the Common Stock held in escrow.
As of the date of this Report, Nightwing has not complied with
the Exchange Act reporting and common stock registration
provisions of the Sale Agreement, made no payments to the
Company, thereby defaulting on the Note, and caused the Company
to incur additional expenses. The Company has delivered to
Nightwing the required notices of default pursuant to the Note,
and is considering its legal alternatives, including the
commencement of litigation to recover all related costs and
damages of the Company resulting from Nightwing's defaults. As of
May 31, 1997, the Company reserved and charged to operations the
amounts due from Nightwing.
Former Operations
In August 1994 substantially all of the inventory, equipment
and machinery of Roburn International Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Roburn"), was sold to Modern Mold
International, Inc. ("MMII"). MMII waived compliance with Article
6 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of New
Jersey (the "Bulk Sales Law") in connection with this
transaction. As inducement for such waiver, the Company issued
150,000 shares (the "MMII Indemnity Shares") of the Company's
Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), to MMII's escrow
agent. Pursuant to the terms of the escrow, the MMII Indemnity
Shares would be released to MMII to the extent necessary to
indemnify MMII for any claims brought against it within one year
by Roburn's creditors as a result of Roburn's and MMII's failure
to comply with the Bulk Sales Law. As of this date, no shares
were used for such purpose and the Company has demanded return
and cancellation of these shares.
Also in August 1994 the remaining assets of Roburn were sold to
Banker's Pen, Inc., ("Banker's") and arrangements were made to
cease the business of Roburn, including making provisions for its
creditors. Banker's waived compliance with the Bulk Sales Laws in
connection
<PAGE 7>
with Roburn's sale of assets to Banker's. As inducement for such waiver,
the Company agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Banker's for all
claims of Roburn's creditors, except for the trade creditors' claims,
and made available to an escrow agent 150,000 shares of the Common Stock
(the "Trade Creditors Shares") for the benefit of the Roburn trade creditors
whose claims Banker's had assumed. As of the date of this report,
95,260 of the Trade Creditors Shares had been issued to Roburn
trade creditors and 54,740 remained for future distribution.
Richard Danziger, the then President of Roburn, agreed to be
responsible for paying the Roburn trade creditors and will
receive the balance of the Trade Creditors Shares to the extent
not used to satisfy Roburn trade creditors' claims. Mr. Danziger
has advised the Company that no further claims will be asserted
and has requested that the remaining shares be released to him,
which claim the Company is reviewing.
Certain Securities Transactions
On March 30, April 13, April 19, June 27, and July 21, 1995,
the Company issued to two unaffiliated lenders 10% Promissory
Notes due the earlier of (1) December 29, 1995, January 12,
January 18, March 26 and April 21, 1996, respectively, or (2) a

On July 24, 1995, the Company issued to a shareholder a Common
Stock purchase warrant expiring January 24, 1999 to purchase

settled certain claims against the Company.
On August 30, 1995, a corporate investor exercised its warrant
expiring October 27, 1998 to purchase 140,000 shares of the
Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50. Due to the
antidilutive provisions of this warrant, an aggregate of 143,535
shares of the Common Stock were issued at the adjusted price of
$1.46 for proceeds of $209,590.
On September 5, September 29, October 31, and November 7, 1995,
the Company issued to an unaffiliated lender 10% Promissory Notes
due the earlier of (1) June 5, June 27, July 30 and August 6,
1996, respectively, or (2) a closing of an anticipated private
placement as to which the Company's then investment banker was to
act as placement agent, in the principal amounts of $50,000,
$60,000, $25,000 and $100,000, respectively, and Common Stock
purchase warrants
<PAGE 8>
expiring February 28, March 27, April 29, and May 6, 2001, respectively,
to purchase 6,250, 7,500, 3,125 and 12,500 shares, respectively, of the
Common Stock, at exercise prices of $2.19, $2.50, $2.19 and $3.00 per share,
respectively. Effective November 30, 1995, the holder of these notes accepted
an aggregate of 317,529 shares of the Common Stock and Common
Stock purchase warrants expiring November 29, 2001 (the "November
29 Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 317,529 shares of the
Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share in full
satisfaction of all principal ($235,000) and interest ($3,147)
due. Due to the antidilution provisions in the above warrants, as
of October 17, 1997, the first set of warrants represented the
right to purchase 9,176, 11,012, 4,569 and 18,271 shares,
respectively, at $1.491, $1.703, $1.498 and $2.052 per share,
respectively, and the November 29 Warrants represented the right
to purchase an aggregate of 448,491 shares at $.708 per share.
On November 30, 1995, the Company, in a private placement
pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), sold to two non-"U.S.
persons" in "off-shore transactions", for gross proceeds of
$250,000, 250,000 shares of the Common Stock and Common Stock

reference), a Common Stock purchase warrant expiring August 6,
1999 (the "August 6 Warrant") to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the
Common Stock at $.75 per share. On December 26, 1996, Mr. Jegou
exercised his August 6 Warrant as to 500,000 shares of the Common
Stock after the Company waived the prohibition on exercise prior
to February 7, 1997 and lowered the exercise price to $.25 per
share for such shares. On March 3, 1997, Mr. Jegou exercised his
August 6 Warrant as to 500,000 shares of the Common Stock after
the Company lowered the exercise price to $.25 per share and
subsequently to $.10 per share for such shares.
On August 7, 1996, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with Lee S. Rosen which modified a previous agreement
dated April 16, 1996. Pursuant to the initial agreement, Mr.
Rosen received a Common Stock purchase warrant expiring April 15,
1999 (the "April 15 Warrant") to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the
Common Stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share. (Copies of
both consulting agreements are filed (by incorporation by
reference) as exhibits to this Report and are incorporated herein
by this reference.) A separate consulting agreement dated April
16, 1996 with a second individual, which included a Common Stock
purchase warrant expiring April 15, 1999 to purchase 2,000,000
shares of the Common Stock, was canceled. The terms of the
modified consulting agreement were for Mr. Rosen to perform
financial, public relation and gaming related consulting services
for a period of two years at a cost of $400,000 and included the
issuance of Common Stock purchase warrants expiring April 16,
1999 (the "April 16 Warrant") and August 6, 1999 (the
"Consultant's Warrant"), respectively, to purchase 2,000,000 and
1,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Common Stock both
exercisable at $.75 per share. Mr. Rosen also exercised his April
15 Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock at an
exercise price of $.75 per share for gross proceeds of $750,000.
Mr. Rosen retained $400,000 in accordance with his consulting
agreement and the Company received net proceeds of $350,000. Mr.
Rosen exercised his April 16 Warrant as to 2,000,000 shares of
the Common Stock as follows: 500,000 shares at $.25 per share
each on October 7, 1996 and January 16, 1997 after the Company
waived the prohibition on exercise prior to February 7, 1997 and
lowered the exercise price to $.25 per share for such shares;
600,000 shares at $.50 per share on March 13, 1997 after the
Company lowered the exercise price to $.50 per share for such
shares; and 400,000 shares at $.25 per share on April 18, 1997
after the Company lowered the exercise price to $.25 per share
for such shares. On July 2, 1997,
<PAGE 10>
Mr. Rosen exercised the Consultant's Warrant as to 1,000,000 shares of
the Common Stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share after the Company
lowered the exercise to $.10 per share.
On August 22, 1996, the Company, pursuant to Regulation S under
the Securities Act, sold to three non-"U.S. persons" in "off-
shore transactions", for gross proceeds of $500,000, 1,000,000
shares of the Common Stock.
On September 4, 1996, the Company, pursuant to Regulation S
under the Securities Act, sold to a non-"U.S. person" in an "off-
shore transaction", for gross proceeds of $600,000, 1,200,000
shares of the Common Stock and issued a Common Stock purchase
warrant expiring September 2, 2001 (the "September 2 Warrant") to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share. The Company paid a private placement
fee of $100,000 to an agent for this offering. On May 6, 1997, the
investor exercised its September 2 Warrant as to 1,000,000 shares
of the Common Stock at $.10 per share after the Company lowered
the exercise price to $.10 per share.
On October 10, 1996 and May 2, 1997, the Company issued 100,000
shares and 150,000 shares, respectively of the Common Stock to a
creditor for outstanding debt and anticipated future services.
On November 27, 1996, the Company issued, and a creditor
accepted, 206,991 shares of the Common Stock in satisfaction of
outstanding debt of $206,991 due to the creditor as of May 31,
1996.
On December 23, 1996, the Company sold to an investor 200,000
shares of the Common Stock for gross proceeds of $50,000.
On May 2, 1997, the Company issued 1,333,333 shares of the
Common Stock to a consultant, Harvey Freeman (see the section
"Other Gaming Projects" in this Item 1 to this Report), as an
advance towards a bonus to be due upon achievement of a milestone
in a gaming project.
An investor exercised its warrant expiring December 5, 1999 as
to 200,000 shares of the Common Stock, 100,000 shares at $.21 per
share each on May 2 and May 19, 1997 after the Company lowered
the exercise price to $.21 per share. Also, on June 5, 1997 the
investor exercised its warrant expiring January 2, 2000 as to
100,000 shares of the Common Stock at $.164 per share after the
Company lowered the exercise price to $.164 per share. In
addition, on May 21, 1997, the Company issued the investor a
Common Stock purchase warrant expiring May 20, 2000 to purchase
300,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $.50
per share.
On September 29, 1997 an investor group purchased 100,000
shares of a to be designated Series C 12% Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Series C Preferred Stock")
of the Company for $100,000. The Company also issued to the group
common stock purchase warrants expiring September 29, 1999 to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$.10 per share. The Purchase Agreement provides that each share
of the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 46.5 shares
of common stock or an aggregate of 4,650,000 shares. Also, on
September 29, 1997 the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized a one-for-thirty reverse stock split of common stock.
<PAGE 11>
At the Annual Meeting of the Company on May 8, 1997, the
shareholders voted to increase the authorized shares of the
Common Stock from 25,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.
In compliance with commitments given to various persons, on
January 13, 1997 the Company filed a registration statement under
the Securities Act (the "Registration Statement"), and will
proceed to cause the Registration Statement to become effective
as soon as practicable after the filing of this Report. The
Registration Statement seeks to register the shares issued to
certain holders of the Common Stock, the shares of the Common
Stock underlying certain Common Stock purchase warrants for
issuance by the Company and certain shares for resale by the
holders thereof. Most of these shares will only be issued after
exercise of Common Stock purchase warrants and stock options. The
offer and sale of such shares, depending on the timing thereof,
may have an adverse impact on the market price for the Common
Stock.
Financing
On January 21, 1997, the Company signed a letter retaining an
investment banker in connection with a proposed public offering
of securities up to $20,000,000 for the development and
construction of the Gaming Vessel Project. See the section
"Gaming Vessel Project" in this Item 1 to this Report. (A copy of
this letter is filed as an exhibit to this Report). This source
of financing is still pending.
Management believes that, as a result of the cash flow from
operations and the proceeds of $260,000 received through October
17, 1997 in recent offerings of equity and debt financing and
potential sales of equity through private placements and
exercises of outstanding Common Stock purchase warrants, it will
raise sufficient funds to meet its cash requirements during the
next 12 months based on its current level of commitments. Should
one of the proposed gaming projects require funds for
implementation, management believes, based on its discussions
with persons in the investment banking community, that any funds
required for such a project can be obtained. There can be no
assurances that the market price of the Common Stock will be
conducive to the exercise of Common Stock purchase warrants and
stock options, nor that funds can be obtained to finance a
specific project if required will be available and, if available,
on acceptable terms.
Governmental Regulation
CGI, as it attempts to implement the gaming aspects of the
Gaming Vessel Project and the Branson Projects (collectively the
"Gaming Projects"), assuming definitive agreements are executed,
as to which there can be no assurance, will become subject to
extensive governmental regulations. In general, both Indian and
non-Indian gaming is extensively regulated by the federal, state
and, in the case of Indian gaming, tribal governments and
authorities and additional regulatory provisions are expected to
be adopted as the Indian and non-Indian gaming industries
continue to develop. An example of local regulation is the
recently adopted legislation of the City of New York with which
CGI will have to comply if the vessel is to be docked within the
City's limits which is the current intention. Failure of CGI to
comply with applicable laws and regulations, whether federal
(including IGRA), state, local or tribal, could result in, among
other things, CGI not receiving approval of its proposed
management agreement with the Tribe or, if approved, the
termination of such gaming management agreement or, in the case
of the Gaming
<PAGE 12>
Vessel Project, the inability to operate out of New
York City. Because of CGI's intended future dependence on the
Gaming Projects for its revenues, any such denial of approval or
termination of the agreements would have a material adverse
effect on CGI.
Competition
Gaming
- ------
The gaming industry, including the development, operation and
management of casinos, is highly competitive, especially given
the rapid rate at which the industry is expanding. CGI's proposed
gaming activities, including offshore gaming and landbased casino
development, operation and management, will compete with other
forms of gaming and with other entities for gaming opportunities.
Any gaming facilities developed, operated or managed by CGI will
compete with gaming facilities of varying quality and size that
already exist or may be built in the future, including gaming
facilities that are part of national or regional chains. Any
facilities of CGI will compete with well established gaming
operations in various states, including Colorado, Connecticut,
Florida, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and
South Dakota. It is likely that other states will also approve
various forms of gaming. The Company believes that the majority
of the companies in the gaming industry, including companies
which develop, operate or manage casinos, have available to them
substantially greater financial resources with more experienced
personnel than the Company. Competition in the future may be
affected by periodic overbuilding, which can adversely affect
patronage levels, changes in local market conditions, changes in
regional and local population and disposable income
characteristics, and changes in travel patterns and preferences.
CGI will also compete with other forms of gaming, including
pull tab games, card clubs, parimutuel betting on horse racing
and dog racing and state-sponsored lotteries. Finally, CGI will
compete with other, non-gaming forms of entertainment.
Other Operations
- ----------------
The children's products and mail order business markets, in
which the operations of Kards for Kids and JPP, respectively, are
concentrated, are all highly competitive markets, in which
neither of the entities is a major competitive factor.
Effect on Environmental Regulations
With the change in CGI's business, CGI does not believe that
compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations
which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of
materials into the environment will have, in the foreseeable
future, any material effect upon the capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position of CGI. Even with respect to its
existing and former businesses, CGI does not believe that
compliance with such laws and regulations had any material effect
on CGI.
Employees
As of October 17, 1997, CGI employed five persons, all of
whom were full time.
To the extent that the Company is successful in implementing
the Gaming Projects, CGI's personnel requirements will increase
significantly. While the Company believes that CGI will be able
to attract and retain a sufficient number of employees to satisfy
its future requirements, the competition for such employees,
particularly at management levels, will increase significantly in
the future if gaming expands throughout the United States.
To the extent that CGI obtains a partner to operate any of the
Gaming Projects, its personnel requirements may be reduced.
Item 2. Description of Property
-----------------------
JPP currently leases 2,800 square feet of space at 150 Morris
Avenue, Springfield, New Jersey pursuant to a lease expiring
March 31, 1998 at a monthly base rental of $3,000.
As part of the Branson Projects, CGII acquired in Christian
County, Missouri a 37-acre site for $288,664 on March 31, 1995
and a 728-acre site for $2,121,788 on February 28, 1996 (see the
section "Branson Projects" in Item 1 to this Report).
Copies of the leases and other agreements referred to in this
Item 2 to this Report are filed (by incorporation by reference)
as exhibits to this Report and are incorporated herein by this
reference.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
On July 18, 1995, Westminster Securities Corporation and other
plaintiffs ("Westminster") instituted an action in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, New York County, against the
Company. The action was settled on April 17, 1997 by the Company
with the issuance of 600,000 shares of the Common Stock, which
Westminster was to sell over an eight-month period after which
the Company would be liable to Westminster to the extent that the
aggregate net proceeds from such sales were less $450,000. The
600,000 shares of the Common Stock were sold for net proceeds of
$136,760 resulting in a claim against the Company for $313,240.
There are no pending legal proceedings against the Company
and/or its subsidiaries in which the claim for damages, exclusive
of interests and costs, exceeds 10% of the current assets of CGI.

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
--------------------------------------------------------
Market Data
The Common Stock trades on the Nasdaq System under the symbol "CLPI".
Set forth below is the quarterly trading range of the high and
low prices for the Common Stock during fiscal 1997 and fiscal
1996 as reported by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") in the Nasdaq System.
<PAGE 15>
Fiscal 1997:

August 31, 1996 $1.969 $0.844

November 30, 1995 3.125 2.00
February 28, 1996 2.625 1.563
May 31, 1996 2.00 0.656
The foregoing quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without
retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent
actual transactions.
The closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the
Nasdaq System on October 17, 1997 was $.09.
Nasdaq Trading
As of May 31, 1997, the Company complied with all of the
requirements of NASD for continued listing of the Common Stock in
the Nasdaq System except that the Company did not meet the Nasdaq
maintenance requirement of a minimum bid price for the Common
Stock of $1.00 per share. On September 29, 1997 the Board of
Directors approved a one-for-thirty reverse stock split which
would enable the Company to meet this Nasdaq requirement;
however, the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation effecting the same has not been filed as yet. Even
if the result of the reverse stock split is sufficient to raise
the bid price of the Common Stock in excess of $1.00 per share,
there can be no assurance that the Common Stock will maintain
such level. As of May 31, 1997, the Company had continued to meet
all of the other maintenance requirements for continued listing
of the Common Stock in the Nasdaq System.
If the Common Stock is delisted from the Nasdaq System at a
later date because of a failure then to comply with the NASD's
maintenance criteria, the Common Stock would continue to be
traded in the over-the-counter market and reported in the NASD's
OTC Bulletin Board or in the "pink sheets" as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Common Stock is so deleted
from the Nasdaq System and if, at such time, its bid price is
below $5.00 per share (the bid price has been consistently below
$5.00 per share since the quarter ended November 30, 1994), the
security would become subject to Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the
Exchange Act,
<PAGE 16>
which rule imposes additional sales practices
requirements on a broker-dealer which sells Rule 15g-9 securities
to persons other than the broker-dealer's established customers
and institutional accredited investors (as such tern is defined
in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act). For transactions
covered under Rule 15g-9, the broker-dealer must make a
suitability determination of the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the
sale. In addition, broker-dealers, particularly if they are
market makers in the Common Stock have to
comply with the disclosure requirements of Rules 15g-2, 15g-3,
15g-4, 15g-5 and 15g-6 under the Exchange Act unless the transaction
is exempt under Rule 15g-1. Consequently, if the foregoing events occur,
Rule 15g-9 and these other Rules may adversely affect the ability
of broker-dealers to sell or to make markets in the Common stock
and also may adversely affect the ability of purchasers in this
offering to sell their shares in the secondary market.
Holders
The number of holders of record of the Common Stock as of
October 17, 1997 was approximately 230. In addition, the Company,
based on copies of annual reports and proxy statements requested
in connection with the last Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
believes that there are 1,445 beneficial owners of the Common
Stock.
Dividends
The Company has never paid cash or stock dividends and, in view
of CGI's history of losses and the cash requirements to launch
the Gaming Projects, the Board of Directors does not anticipate
payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
----------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included
in Item 7 to this Report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
SALES
Sales for fiscal 1997 decreased by $1,105,238 or 76% as
compared with sales for fiscal 1996. The decrease was principally
due to lower sales volume with a major customer of the Congress
operations sold during fiscal 1997 and from the continued shift
from marketing videos and other products to the emphasis on
gaming projects which have not as yet produced revenues.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for fiscal 1997 decreased by $432,708 or 65% as
compared with gross profit for fiscal 1996. Gross profit margin
for fiscal 1997 was 66% as compared with 46% for fiscal 1996. The
changes were principally due to the decrease in sales during the
period which resulted in changes in customer and product mix with
higher gross margins.
<PAGE 17>
SELLING EXPENSES
Selling expenses for fiscal 1997 decreased by $381,679 or 80%
as compared with these expenses for fiscal 1996. The decrease was
principally due to a shift in expenses from marketing videos and
other products to emphasis on gaming projects which have not as
yet produced revenues.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses for fiscal 1997 increased
by $233,062 or 14% as compared with these expenses in fiscal
1996. The increase was principally due to financial and gaming
consulting expenses incurred during fiscal 1997.
GAMING PROJECTS EXPENSES
Gaming projects expenses increased for fiscal 1997 by $107,646
or 32% as compared with these expenses for fiscal 1996. The
increase was principally due to expenses incurred for the
offshore gaming vessel project during fiscal 1997.
SETTLEMENT EXPENSES
Settlement expenses for fiscal 1997 increased by $729,025 or
816% as compared with these expenses for fiscal 1996. The
increase was principally due to litigation settlement awards
during fiscal 1997 and related legal fees.
IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLES
Impairment of intangibles of $229,764 for fiscal 1997 was due to
the adjustment of intangibles to their fair value at May 31, 1997 based
on undiscounted future cash flows.
LOSS FROM SALE OF OPERATIONS
Loss from sale of operations of $226,329 for fiscal 1997 was
due to the sale of Congress (see the section "Sale of Congress"
in Item 1 to this Report).
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for fiscal 1997 increased by $74,845 or 123%
compared with interest expense for fiscal 1996. The increase was
principally due to the interest for the full year during fiscal
1997 on the mortgage on property purchased in February 1996.
NAFTA
The North American Free Trade Act does not have a significant
effect on the consolidated operations.
INFLATION
Inflation does not have an impact on the consolidated
operations.
<PAGE 18>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CGI's cash position was $121,864 as of May 31, 1997 as compared
with $541,610 as of May 31, 1996 or a decrease of $419,746. Cash
flows from operating activities during fiscal 1997 used cash of
$1,787,701 resulting from the net loss of $3,660,180 adjusted for
depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangibles of
$720,269, payment through the issuances of Common Stock and warrants
of settlement, compensation and consulting expenses of
$306,877, loss from sale of operations of $226,329 and increases in
payables and accruals of $1,004,257 and in prepaid expenses and
other assets of $64,965.
During fiscal 1997, CGII expended $734,491 for gaming vessel costs
and a $93,236 net increase in receivables due from an officer resulting
in net cash used in investing activities of $827,727.
The net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal
1997 was $2,195,682, consisting of net proceeds of short-term
borrowings of $100,000 and proceeds of $1,050,000 and $1,117,000
from issuances of the Common Stock and exercises of Common Stock
purchase warrants, respectively. These proceeds funded
operational requirements, deferred consulting costs and costs of
property purchased. Liabilities of $932,750 were converted to
Common Stock during fiscal 1997.
Management believes that, as a result of the cash flow from
operations and the proceeds of $260,000 received through October
17, 1997 in recent offerings of equity and debt financing and
potential sales of equity through private placements and
exercises of outstanding Common Stock purchase warrants, it will
raise sufficient funds to meet its cash requirements during the
next 12 months based on its current level of commitments.
The Company intends to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act that will register shares of the Common Stock as
soon as practicable after the filing of this Report. It is
management's position that the filing of the registration will
encourage the exercise of some of the underlying outstanding
Common Stock purchase warrants. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to raise this additional financing.

Directors and Officers
As of October 17, 1997, the directors and executive officers of
the Company were as follows:
Position(s) Year First Became Director
Name Age with Company or Executive Officer

Peter J. Jegou 50 Chairman of the Board 1988
of Directors; President and
Chief Executive Officer
Carol A. Kulina-Jegou 48 Secretary and Director 1988
Walter J. Krzanowski 55 Treasurer, Chief Financial 1995
& Chief Accounting Officer
Mr. Jegou, Ms. Kulina-Jegou, Robert W. Berend, Lee S. Rosen and
Harvey I. Freeman were elected as directors by the shareholders
at the Annual Meeting held on May 8, 1997. Mr. Freeman declined
to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Rosen resigned as a
director effective May 20, 1997 and Mr. Berend resigned as a
director effective September 23, 1997. Each director serves until
the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his or her
respective successor is duly elected and qualifies. Executive
officers are elected by the Board to serve at the discretion of
the directors. The Company is seeking a person experienced in the
gaming industry to serve as the President of CGII and as a
director of the Company. There can be, of course, no assurance
that the Company will obtain such a person experienced in the
gaming industry.
Business History
Each of Peter J. Jegou and Carol A. Kulina-Jegou has had as his
or her principal occupation for more than the past five years an
executive position with the Company and/or its then subsidiaries.
Effective December 31, 1995, Ms. Kulina-Jegou ceased to serve CGI
as an executive officer and an employee.
Walter J. Krzanowski has been Chief Financial Officer and Chief
Accounting Officer of the Company since July 7, 1995. From
January to June 1995, Mr. Krzanowski served as an independent
consultant providing financial services to the Company. From
September 1993 to December 1994, Mr. Krzanowski was self-
employed, acting as a consultant to a number of companies
providing accounting, financial reporting and data processing
services. From April 1986 to August 1993, Mr. Krzanowski held
various positions including financial and management information
services as Director of Finance for Zenith Laboratories, Inc., a
generic pharmaceutical company. Prior to joining Zenith
Laboratories, Mr. Krzanowski held various financial positions
with Hoffmann-LaRoche, Inc., a major pharmaceutical company, from
1966 to 1986.
<PAGE 20>
No director serves as a director of another company which has a
security registered under Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange
Act or which is an investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Family Relationships
Peter J. Jegou and Carol A. Kulina-Jegou are husband and wife.
There are no other family relationships among the directors and
executive officers of the Company.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Based solely on a review of Forms 3 and 4 furnished to the
Company under Rule 16a-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act
with respect to fiscal 1997, the Company is not aware of any
director or officer of the Company who failed to file on a timely
basis, as disclosed in such forms, reports required by Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal 1996 or prior years,
except that Peter J. Jegou, an executive officer and a director,
who was late in filing two Forms 4, each as to one item in fiscal
1995 and Messrs. Berend and Rosen who subsequently resigned had
not filed Form 3 in fiscal 1997. As of May 31, 1997, the Company
was not aware of any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock, which is the only
security of the Company registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, except for David Slyman as the transferee of
Bennett as disclosed in Item 11 to this Report. The Company
believes that Mr. Slyman filed late a Form 3 relating to his
beneficial ownership in fiscal 1995.
Item 10. Executive Compensation
----------------------
The Company has not adopted any plan providing for stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock options, phantom
stock or similar type of stock benefits and has no other long-
term incentive plan in effect. The Company has, from time to
time, issued to employees of CGI shares of the Common Stock as
additional compensation for their services. There was no other
executive officer whose compensation exceeded $100,000 in fiscal
1997. As indicated in the ensuing tables, the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company has been granted options.

During the past two fiscal years, the Company has issued the

Stock purchase warrant expiring August 6, 1999 (the "August
6 Warrant") to purchase, commencing February 7, 1997,
1,500,000 shares of the Common Stock at $.75 per share. The

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Stockholder of
Creative Gaming, Inc.
Springfield, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Creative
Gaming, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Creative Learning Products, Inc.)
as of May 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended May 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to report 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 peform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall consolidated finacial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our report.
The accompanying consolidated finacial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered
substantial recurring losses from operations and has a deficit in working
capital at May 31, 1997. The Company has been dependent on sales of equity
securities and exercises of warrants to meet its cash flow requirements
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Because of the significance of the uncertainty of the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, we are
unable to express, and we do not express, an opinion on these financial
statements.

CREATIVE GAMING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TWO YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 1997
Note 1 - Business and Principles of Consolidation
Creative Gaming, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly Creative
Learning Products, Inc., was formed in August 1988 to provide
management and administrative services to its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The operating subsidiaries of the Company include
Creative Gaming International, Inc., CGI Vessel, Inc., Kards For
Kids, Inc. and John Patrick Productions, Inc. The Company and its
operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as "CGI".
CGI is in the process of converting to an entity offering
offshore gaming vessels, other gaming facilities, entertainment
and development of real estate. CGI sells their products,
consisting of educational videos, books, gaming related items and
children's paper products, through mail order and through
retailers, brokers and distributors.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.
Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
CGI's accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis. During the past several years,
CGI has experienced substantial recurring losses from operations and
has a working capital deficit. CGI has been dependent, in part, on
proceeds from sales of debt and equity securities and the exercise of
warrants and options. While management believes its ability to raise
additional capital will provide sufficient cash for CGI to meet its
operating requirements for the year ending May 31, 1998 and manage its
working capital deficit, there can be no assurances that CGI will
maintain its ability to continue as a going concern.
To facilitate comparison with the current year, certain amounts
in the prior year have been reclassified.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
out method) or market and reflect write-downs to net realizable
value.
b) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided at rates designed to recover the cost of property and
equipment over their estimated service lives. Depreciation
expense for the years ended May 31, 1997 and 1996 was
approximately $11,600 and $44,500, respectively. Accumulated
depreciation on furniture and equipment for the year ended May
31, 1997 was approximately $89,500. Land is not a depreciable
asset. The gaming vessel is recorded at cost, and expenditures
associated with readying it for its intended use are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred, whereas
<PAGE F-9>
expenditures for renewals and betterments are generally capitalized.
Furniture and equipment is being depreciated over their estimated
useful lives of 3-10 years.
c) Intangibles
Intangibles, including customer lists and goodwill, are
recorded at fair value and are amortized over five years.
Amortization expense for the years ended May 31, 1997 and 1996
was approximately $206,700 and $209,500, respectively. CGI
assesses the fair value of such intangibles based upon several
factors, including management's intention with respect to the
operations and those operations' projected undiscounted cash
flows. As of May 31, 1997, CGI adjusted the fair value of
intangibles and charged to operations approximately $230,000.
d) Loss Per Share
Loss per share is based upon the weighted average
shares outstanding of 20,968,347 and 10,996,147 for the years
ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Losses per share were
computed by dividing the corresponding loss for each year by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for
each year. Common stock equivalents are not included because the
effect would be anti-dilutive.
Fully diluted computations are not shown because all
potentially dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive
effect on per share amounts.
e) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
f) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
CGI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" for the year
ended May 31, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 as of June 1,
1996 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value method for
accounting for stock-based compensation plans either through
recognition or disclosure. Effective December 16, 1995, CGI has
reflected all issuances of equity instruments to non-employees
at their respective fair values.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. CGI will adopt SFAS No. 128 on June 1, 1998.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material
effect on CGI's consolidated financial statements.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which established standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income, its components
<PAGE F-10>
and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include
all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by
distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
current accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
with the same prominence as other financial statements.
SFAS No. 130, effective for all years beginning after December
31, 1997, requires comparative information for earlier years to
be restated and early adoption is permitted. CGI intends to adopt
SFAS No. 130 effective June 1, 1998. Results of operations and
financial position will be unaffected by implementation of this
standard.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
This standard establishes disclosure requirements for operating
segments' products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. CGI will adopt SFAS No. 131 on June 1, 1998. The
adoption of this standard will not impact CGI's results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of financial instruments including cash,
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value
due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The
carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value.
Note 3 - Sale of Operations
Effective November 30, 1996, all the assets of an operating
division of CGI were sold to and all its liabilities were assumed
by a purchaser for 2,000,000 shares of the purchaser's restricted
common stock.
Effective March 1, 1997, the purchaser executed a convertible
promissory note payable to CGI (the "Note") in the principal
amount of $347,000 at an annual interest rate of 8% and payable
in monthly installments of $14,500 commencing March 31, 1997. The
principal amount of the Note included the net amount due CGI from
the purchaser, and potential and contingent liabilities CGI may
eventually be required to pay. As part of the sale, CGI placed

the plaintiffs were to sell over an eight-month period after
which CGI would be liable to the plaintiffs to the extent that
the aggregate net proceeds from such sales were less than
$450,000, which was charged to operations. The 600,000 shares of
common stock were sold for net proceeds of $136,760 resulting in
a claim against CGI for $313,240, which was accrued as
settlement payable as of May 31, 1997.

position.

50% discount on the underlying stock appropriate for its
nonmarketable and restrictive characteristics; a life estimated
as the midpoint of the period between issuance and expiration
dates; a volatility factor of 39.5%; a risk-free rate of return

with a maturity date approximating the estimated life used in
the analysis; and no dividends paid for all years.
