                  CASINO RESOURCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

NOTE 1    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such 
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring 
adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair 
statement of results for the interim periods. The balance sheet for September 
30, 1997 and the statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months 
and three months ended June 30, 1997 have been restated.

     Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to 
conform to current period presentation.

     The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
year.

NOTE 2    DEBT

          The Company's debt at June 30, 1998 consists primarily of a first 
lien mortgage on the Country Tonite Theatre ($7,275,000); a debenture with a 
face value of $1,500,000 bearing a 6% interest rate; a note payable of 
$1,000,000 with interest at 10% of operating income, as defined, of the 
subsidiary that operates the Tunisian casino; and a convertible debenture 
totaling $400,000 with interest at 13%.

NOTE 3    CAPITAL STOCK

     During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company purchased and 
retired 9,350 shares of common stock in the open market under a stock 
repurchase plan.

     The Company is required to maintain a $1.00 bid price, among other 
requirements, for a NASDAQ National Market listing.  The Company's common 
stock has closed below the $1.00 bid on several occasions.  The Company's 
stock must close below a $1.00 bid price for thirty consecutive trading days 
before any action would be required by NASDAQ.

                                       8
<PAGE>

NOTE 4    DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS

     Deferred development costs consist principally of externally incurred 
charges principally related to a casino project in Tunisia and the Pokagon 
Indian Gaming award in Indiana and Michigan.

NOTE 5    SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     Cash expended during the nine months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 for 
interest was $889,000 and $628,000, respectively.  The Company has federal 
and state tax loss carryforwards of approximately $11.0 million.


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

     The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain 
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and 
operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed 
consolidated financial statements.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED  JUNE 30, 1997

CONSOLIDATED

     The Company's revenues from continuing operations for the nine months 
ended June 30, 1998 were $8,996,000, an increase of $1,274,000 or 17% from 
$7,722,000 in the prior year period. The gaming segment accounted for an 
increase of $2,160,000 offset by a decline of $886,000 in the entertainment 
segment caused primarily by the loss of the Las Vegas show venue.

ENTERTAINMENT

COUNTRY TONITE PRODUCTION SHOW

     Country Tonite Production Show revenues totaled $1,518,000 for the nine 
months ended June 30, 1998 (including $1,243,000 eliminated in 
consolidation), a decrease of $1,044,000 from the comparable fiscal 1997 
period revenues of $2,562,000.  The decrease in revenues is due to the loss 
of the Aladdin Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV in November, 1997 and a 
touring show which appeared in Biloxi, Mississippi during fiscal 1997 only. 
Operating income decreased to $199,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 
1998 (including $1,243,000 eliminated in consolidation) from $573,000 in the 
comparable prior year period due to the aforementioned reasons.

     Operating expenses (including project, general and administrative costs) 
decreased to $1,319,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 from 
$1,989,000 in the prior year period due principally to the elimination of 
1997 Biloxi show production expenses and the loss of the Aladdin venue in Las 
Vegas.

           To date, management has not found a suitable replacement for the 
Aladdin contract.

COUNTRY TONITE THEATRE - BRANSON

     The Country Tonite Theatre in Branson reopened on March 9, 1998, the 
beginning of the Branson tourist season. Paid attendance for the Country 
Tonite Show totaled 33% at an average ticket price of $16.99 for the nine 
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to paid attendance of 38% at an average 
ticket price of $16.87 for the comparable prior year period. Revenues 
declined $306,000 or 6% from the fiscal 1997 nine month total of $4,709,000 
to $4,403,000 for the comparable 1998 period. The decline in attendance in 
the third quarter is attributed to the absence of the Golden Girls morning 
show from April to June 1998 and it is management's contention that there is 
a general shift of tour bus volume from spring to the fall.

     Operating expenses (including project, general and administrative 
expenses) decreased $351,000 or 11% to $2,960,000 for the first nine months 
of fiscal 1998 from $3,311,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 
principally due to the fact that third quarter of fiscal 1998 did not have a 
morning show and due to lower staffing costs and other operating 
efficiencies.  Operating income increased by $45,000 or 3% to $1,443,000 in 
the first nine months of fiscal 1998 from $1,398,000 in the first nine months 
of fiscal 1997.

COUNTRY TONITE THEATRE-PIGEON FORGE

     The Country Tonite Theatre in Pigeon Forge reopened for business on 
March 17, 1998.  Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 totaled 
$2,159,000 compared to $1,074,000 in 1997 as the show opened for the first 
time in March 1997. Operating expenses for the 1998 period totaled $2,942,000 
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998(including $1,243,000 eliminated in 
consolidation) generating an operating loss of $783,000 before a minority 
interest allocation of $313,000 compared to the 1997 period where operating 
expenses totaled $1,511,000 (including $623,000 eliminated in consolidation) 
generating an operating loss of  $438,000 before a minority interest 
allocation of $175,000. The Company anticipates an overall operating loss for 
the 1998 fiscal year.

     The Company is negotiating an amendment to the theatre joint venture 
agreement that will provide for early termination of the agreement by either 
partner if certain performance criteria are not met.

GAMING

CASINO CARAIBE

     The Company's first casino operation opened on October 18, 1997 in 
Sousse, Tunisia.  Revenues from Casino Caraibe for the nine months ended June 
30, 1998 were $2,160,000.  Operating costs totaled $4,383,000 resulting in an 
operating loss of $2,223,000.  An operating loss was anticipated due to 
construction and licensing delays that pushed the opening into Tunisia's 
slowest tourist season and due to the amortization of pre-opening costs over 
a one year period.  While management has significantly cut  operating 
expenses during 1998, it anticipates an operating loss for the year.

     On February 5, 1997, the Company sold its interest in the Palace Casino 
back to its joint venture partner.  In connection with the sale, the 
Company's escrow deposit of $400,000 was refunded and, in addition, the 
Company received proceeds of $1,000,000 for the $1,500,000 debenture.  An 
additional  $250,000 is payable without interest in two years. The $250,000 
receivable was discounted to an effective interest rate of 10%.  A loss of 
approximately $404,000 was recorded in the nine months and three months ended 
June 30, 1997 relating to the sale of the Company's interest in the Palace.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     The Company's general and administrative expenses aggregated $1,996,000 
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,685,000 for the 
comparable 1997 period. The overall increase is due principally to higher 
legal and professional costs and costs related to the startup and support of 
the Company's new ventures. 

OTHER

     Interest expense totaled $941,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 
1998 compared to $627,000 for the 1997 period.  The increase is due to a 
higher level of indebtedness related to the casino project.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

CONSOLIDATED

     The Company's revenues from continuing operations for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 were $3,746,000, an increase of $111,000 or 3% over 
revenues of $3,635,000 recorded in the fiscal 1997 period. The increase is 
due principally from the addition of the new gaming segment offset by 
decreases in the entertainment segment

ENTERTAINMENT

COUNTRY TONITE PRODUCTION SHOW

     Country Tonite Production Show revenues totaled $562,000 for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1998 (including $561,000 eliminated in consolidation), a 
decrease of $548,000 from the comparable 1997 period revenues of $1,110,000.  
Operating costs (including project, general and administrative) decreased to 
$401,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $868,000 in the prior year 
period.  The decrease in revenues and operating costs is the result of the 
Country Tonite Show appearing at the Biloxi Grand Theatre in 1997 and the 
closing of the Aladdin Hotel & Casino in November, 1997.  Operating income 
decreased from $242,000 in the quarter ended June 30,1997 to $161,000 for the 
1998 quarter (including $561,000 eliminated in consolidation).

COUNTRY TONITE THEATRE - BRANSON

     The Country Tonite Theatre in Branson revenues for the quarter ended 
June 30, 1998 totaled $1,712,000 a decrease of $372,000 from the comparable 
1997 quarter total of $2,084,000 due to a decline in attendance from 34% 
occupancy in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to 27% occupancy in the 
comparable 1998 quarter and a decrease in the average ticket price from 
$17.38 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to $17.28 in the comparable 1998 
period. This decline is due to the absence of a morning show from April to 
June 1998 and it is management's contention that there is a general shift of 
tour group revenue from spring to fall. Operating costs for the quarter ended 
June 30, 1998 totaled $1,051,000 a decrease of $308,000 from the comparable 
1997 period total of $1,359,000.  The Company was able to reduce staffing  
costs as well as gain other operating efficiencies  in addition to not having 
 a morning show in the 1998 quarter.

COUNTRY TONITE THEATRE-PIGEON FORGE

     Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $951,000 a 
decrease of $42,000 from the comparable 1997 quarter total of $993,000.  
Operating expenses totaled $997,000 resulting in an operating loss of $46,000 
(including $561,000 eliminated in consolidation) before the minority interest 
share of the loss ($18,000) compared to operating expenses of $1,383,000 
resulting in an operating loss of $390,000 (including $552,000 eliminated in 
consolidation) before the minority interest share of the loss ($144,000) in 
the comparable 1997 quarter.  The reduction in operating expenses was due to 
an amendment to the lease agreement providing for changes in rent expense.

GAMING

CASINO CARAIBE

     Revenues for the three months ended totaled $1,084,000.  Operating costs 
was $1,611,000 resulting in an operating loss of $527,000 for the quarter. 
Revenues for the quarter were negatively impacted by a general decrease in 
tourism during the later part of the quarter especially in June, 1998.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     The Company's general and administrative expenses totaled $512,000 for 
the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $421,000 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997. The increase is due principally to higher 
professional and legal expenses.

OTHER

                                       12
<PAGE>

     Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 totaled 
$287,000 compared to $222,000 for the 1997 quarter. The increase is due to 
higher levels of indebtedness.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents increased from $535,000 at March 31, 1998 to 
$2,540,000 at June 30, 1998.  In addition to operations,the Company's 
principal source of funds during the  three months ended June 30, 1998 were 
funds provided by the sale( for $5.5 million) of the Grand Hinckley Inn. The 
Company's principal use of funds other than operations consisted of debt 
repayments totaling $942,000 and capital expenditures of $5,000.

           The mortgage note on the Branson theatre matures in April, 1999. 
The Company is currently reviewing refinancing alternatives.

           On August 11, 1998, the Company amended its 13% convertible 
debenture agreement to provide for an immediate $250,000 payment ($171,674 
principal) with the remaining principal balance plus interest payable in four 
equal installments, in cash or stock at the Company's discretion, beginning 
January, 1999.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     Capital expenditures by the Company were $5,000 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 compared to $638,000 for the comparable period in the 
prior year. The decrease was principally attributable to purchases of gaming 
equipment for the Company's casino in Tunisia in 1997.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".  The new Standard discusses how to 
report and display comprehensive income and its components.  The standard is 
effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997.  When the Company 
adopts this statement, it is not expected to have a material impact on the 
Company's financial statements.

     In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  
This standard requires enterprises to report certain information about 
operating segments, their products and services, geographic areas, and major 
customers. This standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 
1997.  When the Company adopts this statement, it is not expected to have a 
material impact on the Company's financial statements.

     All statements contained herein that are not historical facts are based 
on current expectations. These statements are forward looking in nature and 
involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ 
materially. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ 
materially are the following: the availability of sufficient capital to 
finance the Company's business plan on terms satisfactory to the Company; 
competitive factors, failure to find a replacement venue for the Country 
Tonite Las Vegas Show; changes in travel patterns which could affect demand 
for the Company's , theaters or casino; changes in development and operating 
costs, including labor, construction, land, equipment, and capital costs; 
general business and economic conditions; political unrest in Tunisia or the 
region; and other risk factors described from time to time in the Company's 
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company 
wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward 
looking statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private 
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and as such, speak only as to the 
date made.

SEASONALITY

     The theatre operations in Branson, Missouri and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, 
will also be affected by seasonal factors. The Branson theatre will close on 
December 19, 1998 and the Pigeon Forge theatre will close on January 1, 1999. 
This period is historically when theatres like the Company's normally close 
in Branson and Pigeon Forge. The theatres reopen in March. The casino in 
Tunisia is also subject to seasonal factors as the October to April period is 
considered the slowest.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     Management does not believe that inflation has had any significant 
adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations 
for the periods presented.  An increase in the rate of inflation could 
adversely affect the Company's future operations and expansion plans.


PART II  - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is party to various legal proceedings as described in its 
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1997.   There 
have been no further developments regarding such proceedings during the three 
months ended June 30, 1998, except as described below.

     James Barnes and Prudence Barnes, two former officers of a subsidiary of 
the Company, have brought suit in the State District Court, Clark County, 
Nevada, against the Company in connection with their employment termination 
in June 1995.  No specific amount of damages has been claimed.  The Company 
intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter and is seeking a summary 
judgement. Trial is scheduled for January, 1999.

     On December 31, 1997, the Company's former chairman defaulted on repaying
the $1,232,000 (principal) of notes receivable due the Company.  The Company
filed suit 

                                       14
<PAGE>

against the individual on January 2, 1998.  The Company held 150,000 shares 
of the Company's stock as collateral.  On January 15, 1998, the Company 
signed an agreement with the individual.  Under the agreement, 220,000 
additional shares of the Company's stock would be canceled along with the 
150,000 shares held at the market price of $1.19 per share.  The shares to be 
cancelled were not treated as outstanding as of September 30, 1997. 
Additionally, the Company and the individual entered into a new note 
agreement. The new note of $1,196,885, including approximately $143,000 of 
previously reserved interest, bears interest at 7%, payable on maturity on 
January 15, 2001.  The note is collateralized by the individual's 5% interest 
in the Company's Pokagon management fee.  Solely at the Company's discretion, 
at any time prior to maturity, the Company can take the collateral as payment 
in full for the note. Since the individual's ability to pay the note is not 
known, the Company has provided an impairment reserve for $791,900, which 
represents the remaining principal balance after stock cancellations.  
Generally accepted accounting principles do not permit the recording of 
contingent assets until realized and as the individual's ability to pay the 
note is not known, the Company provided an impairment reserve of $791,900.  
In January 1998, this individual failed to deliver the 220,000 shares of 
stock required under the agreement.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an 
impairment charge in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 of $260,000. In the 
second quarter of fiscal 1998, the default was cured and the impairment 
charge of $260,000 was reversed.

ITEM 5.   OTHER INFORMATION

       The deadline date for receipt of shareholder proposals for inclusion 
in management's proxy statement for the 1999 annual meeting of stockholders 
is September 30, 1998. The deadline date for giving notice to the Company of 
an intention to present a Non-Rule 14(a)-8 shareholder proposal at the 1999 
Annual Meeting of Stockholders is March 13, 1999.

       The Company does not anticipate that year 2000 compliance issues will 
materially affect its operations.
