Buena Vista, 12490 Apopka Vineland, Orlando, Florida, 32830 on December 12,
1996, at 2:30 p.m., local time for the following purposes:

     1.   To elect the directors of the Company for the ensuing year; 

     2.   To approve an amendment to the Company's Amended Certificate of
          Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the
          Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, from 17,000,000 to
          25,000,000;

     3.   To ratify the appointment of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as the
          Company's independent certified public accountants for the ensuing
          year; and

     4.   To act upon such other business as may properly come before the
          Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

     Stockholders of record at the close of business on October 29, 1996 are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

     In order to ensure a quorum, it is important that stockholders representing
a majority of the voting power of all stock outstanding be present in person or
represented by their proxies.  Therefore, whether you expect to attend the
Meeting in person or not, please sign, fill out, date and return the enclosed
proxy in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope also enclosed.  Anyone giving
a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by giving the Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the Company written notice of the revocation, by
submitting a proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting. 
A broker non-vote on a matter (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to
which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power to vote on a
particular matter) is considered not entitled to vote on that matter and,
therefore, will not be counted in determining whether a quorum is present or
whether a matter has been approved.

of the employment. The agreement has been renewed until June 1, 1997. Mr. 
Stanley S. Tollman's employment agreement provides for a salary in the amount 
of $250,000 per year, none of which has been paid under the agreement since

                            BOARD COMPENSATION REPORT


EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POLICY

     CASH COMPENSATION.  The Company's executive officers, other than Stanley 
S. Tollman, are not directly compensated by the Company based upon the 
Compensation Committee's determination that compensation is not prudent at 
this time given the company's financial position. When, and if, the Company's 
financial position improves, the Compensation Committee would establish and
review the compensation of executive officers and employee compensation 
plans.  However, all of the Company's executive officers provide management, 
financial and administrative services, through the Company's subsidiary Alpha 
Hotel, on behalf of Bryanston.  Bryanston directly compensates the Company's 
executive officers for such services and, pursuant to the terms of an expense 
reimbursement agreement between the Company and Bryanston ("Expense 
Reimbursement Agreement"), the Company reimburses Bryanston on a monthly 
basis for direct payroll.  The Compensation Committee does not determine the 
compensation paid by Bryanston to the Company's executive officers for 
providing these services on behalf of Bryanston, as such compensation is 
solely determined by Bryanston.

     EQUITY COMPENSATION. The grant of stock options to executive officers
constitutes an important element of long-term compensation for the executive
officers.  The grant of stock options increases management's equity ownership in
the Company with the goal of ensuring that the interests of management remain
closely aligned with those of the Company's stockholders.  The Board believes
that stock options in the Company provide a direct link between executive
compensation and stockholder value.  By attaching vesting requirements, stock
options also create an incentive for executive officers to remain with the
Company for the long term. 

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION 

     The compensation of Stanley S. Tollman, the Chief Executive Officer, is
set forth in an employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Tollman, which 
provides for a salary in the amount of $250,000 per year, none of which has 
been paid under the agreement.  The unpaid salary accumulates and the Company 
does not pay any interest or other penalty thereon.  The terms of the 
employment agreement were determined based upon Stanley S. Tollman's ability 
to establish and retain a strong management team and to develop and implement 
the Company's business plans.  The Company also appraised its financial 
position and reviewed compensation levels of chief executive officers at 
comparable companies with the Company's industry.

                           CORPORATE PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     The following graph shows a comparison of cumulative total stockholder
returns from November 5, 1993 through September 30, 1996 for the Company, the
Russell 2000 Index ("Russell") and the Dow Jones Entertainment and Leisure -
Casino Index ("DJ Casinos").



          [The graph shows that the cumulative stockholder returns for
          such investment in the Company, Russell and DJ Casinos
          resulted in values of $172, $100 and $101, respectively, on
          December 31, 1993; values of $78, $98 and $77, respectively,
          on December 31, 1994; values of $47, $126 and $103,
          respectively, on December 31, 1995; and values of $26, $140
          and $121, respectively, on September 30, 1996.]



     The graph assumes that the value of the investment in the Company's Common
Stock, Russell and DJ Casinos was $100 on November 5, 1993 and that all
dividends were reinvested.  No dividends have been declared or paid on the
Company's Common Stock.



                             SECTION 16(a) REPORTING

     Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company's directors,
its executive (and certain other) officers, and any persons holding ten percent
or more of the Company's Common Stock must report on their ownership of the
Company's Common Stock and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and
Exchange Commission and to the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.'s Automated Quotation System.  Specific due dates for these reports have
been established.  During the year ended December 31, 1995, all reports for all
transactions were filed on a timely basis except for an inadvertent late 
filing of a Form 3 for Matthew Walker relating to his appointment as director 
in December 1995. Upon discovery of this oversight, a Form 3 setting forth 
an initial statement of beneficial ownership for Matthew Walker was promptly 
filed.

                       CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING MANAGEMENT

          Bryanston was formerly known as Buckhead Hotel Management Company,
Inc. ("BHMC"), and prior to February 1, 1992, BHMC was known as Days Inns
Management Company, Inc.  BHMC was formerly a subsidiary of Buckhead America
Corp. ("BAC") which, prior to February 1, 1992, was known as Days Inn of
America, Inc.  Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Thomas W. Aro, Brett G. Tollman,
Sanford Freedman and James A. Cutler, each directors and/or officers of the
Company, were officers and/or directors of BAC and certain of its subsidiaries. 

          On September 27, 1991, BAC, BHMC and certain affiliates and
subsidiaries thereof filed petitions for protection from creditors under the
Bankruptcy Code, commencing proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court,
in the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court).  ("In re Buckhead America
Corporation, et al., f/k/a Days Inn of America Inc. et al., Debtors"-case
numbers 91-978 through 91-986.) 

          The Plan of Reorganization for BAC and its subsidiaries was filed and
approved in December 1992 and became effective on December 28, 1992.  Under the
Plan of Reorganization, BHMC assigned certain assets related to its business 
of hotel management and was relieved of certain obligations not related to its 
business of hotel management. 

          Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman and Sanford Freedman are limited partners
in and directors and officers of the corporate general partner of Pacific Shore
Associates Limited Partnership ("Pacific Shore").  Messrs. Brett G. Tollman and
James A. Cutler are officers of the corporate general partner of Pacific Shore. 
In connection with and in response to a foreclosure proceeding instituted by the
first deed of trust holder of the hotel owned by Pacific Shore, it filed a
voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code, Case No. La-91-81347-KL in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.
Subsequently, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the automatic stay in the proceeding,
thereby allowing foreclosure, and dismissed the Chapter 11 proceeding. 

          Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Brett G. Tollman and Sanford Freedman were
limited partners of six limited partnerships, each of which was the owner of an
individual hotel, which filed Chapter 11 proceedings in 1991.  Mr. Stanley S.
Tollman was the stockholder of the corporate general partners of the limited
partnerships. Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Brett G. Tollman, Sanford Freedman,
James A. Cutler and Howard Zukerman were directors and/or officers of such
corporate general partners.  The six hotels, together with a seventh which is
the subject of a pending foreclosure proceeding in the state courts of 
Florida, which has been withdrawn, received mortgage financing from Security 
Pacific Commercial Mortgage Trust VII (the Trust) which was formed for the 
purpose of financing the seven hotels.  The Trust defaulted on its debt 
obligations and Financial Security Assurance, which had guaranteed the 
obligations of the Trust, proceeded to initiate foreclosure proceedings 
against the seven hotels.  Faced with the threat of foreclosure, the six 
limited partnerships filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code. With 
regard to five of the bankruptcy proceedings, the Bankruptcy Court lifted 
the bankruptcy stay and permitted foreclosure sales of the hotels. With 
regard to the sixth hotel a Plan of Reorganization has been approved by the 
Bankruptcy Court, which approval has been appealed by the lender to the U.S. 
District Court. The U.S. District Court confirmed the decision below and the 
lender has further appealed to the U.S. Appellate Court for the Fifth 
District.

          Kissimmee Lodge, Ltd. ("KLL"), a Florida limited partnership, filed a
Chapter 11 proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Florida.  The proceeding was filed to prevent the imminent
foreclosure of the Days Suites hotel owned by KLL. Messrs.

          Stanley S. Tollman, Brett G. Tollman and Sanford Freedman hold limited
partnership interests in KLL and Mr. Stanley S. Tollman is a stockholder of the
corporate general partner of KLL. Messrs.  Stanley S. Tollman, Howard Zukerman
and James A. Cutler were directors and or officers of such corporate general
partner.  The Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and
has been declared effective. 

          Emeryville Days Limited Partnership ("Emeryville"), a California
limited partnership filed a Chapter 11 proceeding in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California in May 1996.  The
proceeding was filed to prevent the imminent foreclosure of the Days Inn hotel
owned by Emeryville.  Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Brett G. Tollman and Sanford
Freedman hold limited partnership interests in Emeryville and Mr. Stanley S.
Tollman is a stockholder of the corporate general partner of Emeryville.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

BAYOU CADDY ACQUISITION

          Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of May 14, 1993 among
Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc. ("Alpha Gulf"), B.C. of Mississippi, Inc. ("B.C.")
(formerly known as Bayou Caddy, Inc.) and certain stockholders of B.C., the
Company acquired certain of the assets of B.C., including B.C.'s leasehold
interests under certain lease agreements, certain other assets incidental to the
development and ownership of the Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino, and B.C.'s
interest in certain related license applications, approvals and permits. As part
of the purchase, the Company assumed liabilities aggregating approximately
$1,100,000.  The purchase price was $3,500,000, which was evidenced by a
promissory note that bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum and was
convertible into shares of Alpha Gulf ("B.C. Note").  Pursuant to an agreement
also dated May 14, 1993 among B.C., the Company, Stanley S. Tollman and Monty D.
Hundley, the Alpha Gulf shares into which the B.C. Note was convertible were
further convertible into shares of Company's Common Stock upon the happening of
certain events. On November 15, 1995, the Company, Alpha Gulf and B.C. entered
into an agreement ("B.C. Agreement") under which (i) the B.C. Note was deemed
converted on February 1, 1994 and (ii) B.C. received rights which, upon the
effective date of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part,
entitle B.C. to receive 791,880 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  As
contemplated by the B.C. Agreement, B.C. subsequently distributed rights to
receive 700,000 of the shares of Company Common Stock to its shareholders and
retained rights to receive 91,880 of such shares.  The conversion of the B.C.
Note into 791,880 shares was determined in accordance with a formula contained
in the May 14, 1993 agreements that allowed for conversion of the note into 12%
of the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Messrs. Tollman and Hundley
at the time the Company notified B.C. of its election to convert.  In order to
avoid further dilution to the Company's stockholders, and to enhance its
position in the Company, Bryanston agreed to contribute a number of its shares
of the Company's Common Stock to the Company in order to help satisfy the number
of shares of Common Stock into which the B.C. Note converted.  In accordance
therewith, Bryanston made a capital contribution to the Company of 716,881
shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by Bryanston, which were held by the
Company as treasury stock.  In September 1996 the Company issued the 

                                       12

<PAGE>

791,800 shares to B.C. and the B.C. shareholders and in October 1996 the shares
previously held in treasury stock were cancelled. 

BRYANSTON

          In connection with the formation of the Company and the initial
capitalization of the Company, Bryanston (i) contributed $626,004 in cash to the
Company in exchange for 3,564,987 shares of the Company's Common Stock, valued
at 17.6CENTS per share, (ii) entered into the Service Agreements, and (iii)
loaned the Company $4,009,740 (the "Bryanston Loan").  The Company utilized the
$626,004 and the proceeds of the Bryanston Loan for the development and
construction of the Jubilee Casino. 

          Under a service agreement, effective as of September 1, 1993, between
Alpha Hotel and Bryanston ("Service Agreement"), the Company provides
management, financial, administrative and marketing services ("Management
Services") to hotels and motels on behalf of Bryanston.  Bryanston is an
affiliate of the Company, and Beatrice Tollman, Mr. Stanley S. Tollman's spouse,
is a 50% stockholder of Bryanston.  The Service Agreement, which is co-terminus
with the last to expire of individual management agreements between Bryanston
and 13 hotels ("Management Agreements"), states that the Company will provide
certain management services for hotels managed by Bryanston for certain
unaffiliated owners.  Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Bryanston receives a
fee of 1% of the aggregate compensation paid to the Company pursuant to the
Management Agreements.  The Bryanston Hotel Division is the provider of direct
services to all managed hotels pursuant to the Management Agreements with the
individual hotels.  Through its subsidiary Alpha Hotel, the Company provides
management, financial, administrative and marketing services on behalf of
Bryanston. Pursuant to the Management Agreements, the Company is compensated for
its services in an amount equal to a percentage of total net revenues of the
managed hotels, ranging between 2% and 5%. In connection with the Service
Agreement, effective September 1, 1993, the Company entered into the Expense
Reimbursement Agreement with Bryanston for the use of certain office space at
its Hopewell Junction, New York facility in connection with the Company's hotel
management operations.  Pursuant to the terms of the Expense Reimbursement
Agreement, the Company reimburses Bryanston on a monthly basis for its share of
rent, office expenses and direct payroll. 

          The Bryanston Loan had an initial interest rate of 12% per annum and
payment is subordinated to payment of the Term Loan, described below.  A portion
of principal and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $1,012,500 was
repaid from the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and
principal and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $1,206,355 was repaid
from the proceeds of the underwriters' over-allotment option exercised in
connection with the IPO.  The balance of the Bryanston Loan ($1,972,532) accrued
interest at the rate of 12% per annum, which accrued until the second
anniversary of the opening of the Jubilee Casino, and thereafter, together with
such accrued interest amount ($501,294), interest accrues at the rate of 9% per
annum, payable quarterly in equal installments over a 10-year period, and will
be prepaid pro rata with the BP Group Loan ("BP Loan"), described below, from
the proceeds of the exercise, if any, of the Company's outstanding warrants and
the HFS Options, described below, provided the Company is current under the Term
Loan. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the principal balance (which
includes accrued interest through the second anniversary) was $2,473,826 and
accrued interest at March 31, 1996 was $59,176. 

                                       13
<PAGE>

          In August and October 1993, Bryanston advanced a bridge loan (the
"Bryanston Bridge Loan"), in the aggregate amount of $7,419,000, which was also
applied to the development and construction of the Jubilee Casino.  The
Bryanston Bridge Loan bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date
advanced and was originally due and payable on the earlier of October 31, 1993
or the closing of the IPO.  A portion of the principal and accrued interest on
the Bryanston Bridge Loan, in the aggregate amount of $3,625,000, was repaid
from the proceeds of the Term Loan and a $4,000,000 bridge loan (the "HFS Bridge
Loan") from HFS Gaming Corp. ("HFS") (which was repaid from the proceeds of the
IPO), and the balance was repaid from the proceeds of the IPO. 

          As of January 1, 1994, Bryanston agreed to loan the Company up to
$9,000,000 ("Initial Working Capital Loan") to meet working capital requirements
of the Company.  The note bore interest at prime rate plus 2%, per annum, and
had a maturity date of December 31, 1995.  On December 31, 1994 the Company
authorized the issuance of 625,222 shares of its preferred stock, valued at
$6.625 per common share, in settlement of $8,284,196 due Bryanston, pursuant to
the Initial Working Capital Loan, which amount includes approximately $349,000
of accrued interest.  In October 1995, the 625,222 shares of preferred stock
were converted into 1,250,444 shares of the Company's Common Stock. 

          On November 15, 1995, the Company, Alpha Gulf and B.C. entered into
the B.C. Agreement under which (i) the B.C. Note was deemed converted on
February 1, 1994, and (ii) B.C. received rights which, upon entitled B.C. to

Note converted.  Bryanston agreed to make this capital contribution to the
Company in order to avoid further dilution to the Company's stockholders and to
enhance its position in the Company. 

          As of January 5, 1995, Bryanston agreed to loan the Company up to
$20,000,000 ("Working Capital Loan") to meet the working capital requirements of
the Company.  Therefore, the Company is obligated under a $20,000,000
non-revolving promissory note ($19,413,856 and $17,360,861 outstanding at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively) with Bryanston.  The note,
which bears interest at prime rate (8.5% at March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995) plus 2%, is payable at the lesser of the outstanding principal amount or
$2,000,000 per annum through December 31, 1999.  Beginning 1996, interest
accrued monthly is due and payable by the following month.  All remaining
principal and accrued interest (approximately $437,000 and $503,000 at March 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively) shall be due on December 31, 2000.
Additionally, commencing May 1, 1996 and for each of the next succeeding three
years thereafter, the Company will be required to make additional principal
payments equal to "Available Cash Flow of Maker" as defined in the note to mean
an amount equal to the consolidated annual net income of the Company before
depreciation but after provision for taxes and principal payments on account of
all debt, less an amount equal to the sum of (a) an annual replacement reserve
equal to 3% of the consolidated revenues of the Company and its subsidiaries,
excluding Alpha Hotel, and (b) $1,000,000. 

          On September 22, 1995, Bryanston purchased an outstanding loan to the
Company ("Term Loan") which was then held by HFS Gaming Corp. ("HFS"), having a
balance of $7,816,000 from HFS, which was in default at such time.  The Company
received the Term Loan from HFS in the 

                                       14
<PAGE>

original principal amount of $8,000,000 for a five-year term, in October 1993. 
The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and requires monthly
payments of principal and interest through November 1998.  The Term Loan is
secured by a first preferred ship mortgage on the Jubilee Casino.  As
consideration for Bryanston purchasing the Term Loan (which was then in
default), and for Bryanston agreeing to make the Working Capital Loan, in
October 1995, the Company issued 347,826 shares of Common Stock, valued at $4.50
per share, and an option to purchase 347,826 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $4.50 per share, to Bryanston.  In addition, Bryanston
acquired 96,429 shares of the Company's Common Stock from an affiliate of HFS. 
At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the balance due on the Term Loan is
$7,8000,000 and accrued interest is $640,724 and $446,789, respectively. 

          As of November 1, 1995, Bryanston had sold all of the Common Stock of
the Company it had previously held. 

          Since the Company began to implement its plans to close the Jubilation
Casino in July 1996, the Company updated its assessment of the realizability of
the leasehold improvements and related assets of the Jubilation Casino.  This
resulted in an impairment loss of approximately $14,165,000 and stockholders'
deficit of $14,000,000 below the requirements for continued listing of the
Company's securities on NASDAQ. In order to avoid the delisting of the Company's
securities from NASDAQ, Bryanston proposed that the Company convert the Working
Capital Loan into Series B Preferred Stock, which would enable the Company to
maintain its NASDAQ listing.  Therefore, effective June 26, 1996, Bryanston
converted the amount due on the Working Capital Loan (approximately $19,165,000)
into shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock.  The Company was charged
a 5% transaction fee (approximately $958,000), which was also converted into
shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. The conversion was effective
June 26, 1996 and the total of approximately $20,123,000 converted into 693,905
shares of Series B Preferred Stock based on the fair market value of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of conversion ($3.625).  Each share of
outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (i) entitles the holder to one vote; (ii)
has a liquidation value of $29.00 per share; (iii) has a cash dividend rate of
10% of liquidation value, which increases to 13% of liquidation value if the
cash dividend is not paid within 30 days of the end of each fiscal year and in
such event is payable in Common Stock valued at the then market price; and (iv)
is convertible into eight shares of Common Stock.  At present the Company does
not have sufficient authorized but unissued Common Stock to reserve for the
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Company is seeking
stockholder approval to increase the Company's authorized number of shares of
Common Stock as set forth in Proposal 2 of this Proxy Statement. In the event
that by December 31, 1996, the stockholders have not approved an amendment to
the Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized
Common Stock to an amount sufficient to permit the reservation of Common Stock
necessary for the conversion, the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock will be
entitled to eight votes per share thereafter. 

BP GROUP

          BP advanced $1,927,759 to the Company, representing the proceeds of
the BP loan ("BP Loan").  The BP Loan had an initial interest rate of 12% per
annum and payment is subordinated to payment of the Term Loan.  Principal and
accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $487,500 was repaid from the
proceeds of the Company's IPO and principal and 

                                       15
<PAGE>

accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $575,560 was repaid from the
proceeds of the underwriters' over-allotment option.  The balance of the BP
Loan, $864,699, accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum, which shall
accrue until the second anniversary of the opening of the Jubilee Casino, and
thereafter, together with such accrued interest, at the rate of 9% per annum,
payable quarterly in equal installments over a 10-year period, and will be
prepaid, pro rata with the Bryanston Loan, from the proceeds of the exercise, if
any, of the Company's outstanding warrants and the HFS Options, provided the
Company is current under the Term Loan. 

          BP also advanced a bridge loan (the "BP Bridge Loan") in the amount of
$2,200,000, which was applied to the development of the Casino.  The BP Bridge
Loan bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date advanced and was
originally due and payable on the earlier of October 31, 1993 or the closing of
the Offering.  The BP Bridge Loan was repaid in full, from the proceeds of the
Term Loan and the HFS Bridge Loan, which was repaid by the Company from the
proceeds of the IPO. 

          In July 1993 Ms. Cohen, a director of the Company and the sole
stockholder of BP, contributed $511,961 to the capital of the Company for which
she was issued 1,544,182 shares of Common Stock valued at 33.2CENTS per share. 

          Ms. Cohen was also a principal stockholder of Westfield Financial
Corporation, one of the underwriters of the Company's IPO.  Westfield Financial
Corporation is no longer operating as a broker-dealer. 

          Since the Company began to implement its plans to close the Jubilation
Casino in July 1996, the Company updated its assessment of the realizability of
the leasehold improvements and related assets of the Jubilation Casino.  This
resulted in an impairment loss of approximately $14,165,000 and stockholders'
deficit of $14,000,000 below the requirements for continued listing of the
Company's securities on NASDAQ.  In order to avoid the delisting of the
Company's securities from NASDAQ, BP proposed that the Company convert the BP
Loan into Series B Preferred Stock, which would enable the Company to maintain
its NASDAQ listing.  Therefore, effective June 26, 1996, BP converted the amount
due on the BP Loan (approximately $1,222,000) into shares of the Company's
Series B Preferred Stock.  The Company was charged a 5% transaction fee
(approximately $61,000), which was also converted into shares of the Company's
Series B Preferred Stock.  The conversion was effective June 26, 1996, and the
total of approximately $1,283,000 was converted into 44,258 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock based on the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on
the date of conversion $3.625).  The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock
issued to BP are identical to those of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to
Bryanston in June 1996. 

          All current transactions between the Company, and its officers,
directors and principal stockholders or any affiliates thereof are, and in the
future such transactions will be, on terms no less favorable to the Company than
could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.


HFS

          On October 27, 1993, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $12,000,000
from HFS Gaming Corp. ("HFS") under two loans ("HFS Bridge Loan" and "HFS Term
Loan;" together, "HFS Loans").  Approximately 

                                       16
<PAGE>

$5,853,000 of this amount was used to repay a portion of the Bryanston Bridge
Loan ($3,625,000) and the BP Bridge Loan in full ($2,238,000), and the balance
was used to fund construction, development, opening and initial operating costs
of the Casino.  The HFS Bridge Loan, in the principal amount of $4,000,000,
evidenced by the HFS Bridge Note, bore interest at the Merrill Lynch margin loan
rate (currently 6-1/4%) and was guaranteed by Bryanston, which also provided
certain collateral for such loans.  The HFS Bridge Note was paid in full from
the proceeds of the Company's Offering.  The HFS Term Loan, in the principal
amount of $8,000,000, is evidenced by the five-year HFS Term Note, secured by a
first mortgage on the Company's barge and related facilities and property and a
second lien on certain of the Company's gaming and other equipment.  The HFS
Term Note bears interest at HFS's cost of funds (initially, approximately 5% per
annum) to be adjusted annually.  Principal and interest are due monthly over the
five-year term, with principal payments aggregating $100,000, $200,000,
$300,000, $750,000 and $750,000, respectively, in the first through fifth years
and the balance of $5,900,000 due at the end of the fifth year.

          HFS and the Company, each through subsidiaries, have entered into a
marketing agreement ("HFS Marketing Agreement").  The fees for the services
provided under the HFS Marketing Agreement are payable in monthly installments
at the annual rate of approximately $1.9 million.  In June 1994, the Mississippi
Gaming Commission found HFS suitable and the marketing fees were changed to the
greater of $1,650,000 or 4% of the Casino gaming revenue (of which 1% will be
allocated to the Company's local marketing programs). On September 22, 1995, 
HFS sold the HFS Term Note to Bryanston and terminated the HFS Marketing 
Agreement.

          In connection with the HFS Loans, the Company issued to HFS five-year
options to purchase up to 600,000 shares (the HFS Options) at an exercise price
of $14.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of certain events, such
as stock dividends, recapitalization or the sale by the Company of shares of
Common Stock below the market price of the Common Stock.

          All current transactions between the Company, and its officers,
directors and principal stockholders or any affiliates thereof are, and in the
future such transactions will be, on terms no less favorable to the Company than
could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

                                   PROPOSAL 2


               AMENDMENT OF AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION 
                 TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF 
                                  COMMON STOCK


          The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions
proposing an amendment to the Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation
which would amend the first paragraph of Article IV of the Company's Amended
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of
Common Stock, $.01 par value, to 25,000,000 shares from the 17,000,000 shares
currently authorized.  There are currently 11,880,055 shares of Common Stock and
738,163 Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

          Under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, each share of
Preferred Stock is convertible into eight shares of Common Stock after December
31, 1996.  At present the Company does not have sufficient authorized but
unissued Common Stock to reserve for the conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock.  In the event that by December 31, 1996 the stockholders have not
approved an amendment to the Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation to
increase the authorized Common Stock to an amount sufficient to permit the
reservation of Common Stock necessary for the conversion, the vote per share of
the Series B Preferred Stock will increase from one to eight votes per share
thereafter.

          The proposed amendment to the Company's Amended Certificate of
Incorporation would increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to
an amount greater than the amount sufficient to permit the reservation of Common
Stock necessary for the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.  The Board
believes that the availability of such shares for issuance in the future will
give the Company greater flexibility (with respect to the purpose of such
issuance and the nature of any consideration that may be received therefor) and
permit such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of holding a
stockholders meeting.  The shares would be available for issuance by the Board
without further stockholder authorization, except as may be required by law or
by the rules of the NASDAQ (or any other national quotation system or stock
exchange on which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed).  The issuance
of any additional shares of Common Stock may result in a dilution of the voting
power of the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock and their equity
interest in the Company.


STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIRED

          Approval of the amendment to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, which are the shares
entitled to vote thereon.

          THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
       AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO
           INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK.

                                   PROPOSAL 3

             RATIFICATION OF ROTHSTEIN, KASS & COMPANY, P.C. AS THE 
               COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.


          The Board of Directors has unanimously approved and unanimously
recommends that the stockholders approve the appointment of Rothstein, Kass &
Company, P.C. as the Company's independent certified public accountants for the
ensuing year.  Unless a stockholder signifies otherwise, the persons named in
the proxy will so vote.  A member of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. will be
available to answer questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement
if he or she so desires at the Meeting.

STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIRED

          Ratification of the appointment of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as
independent certified public accountants requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at
the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

          THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF
       THE APPOINTMENT OF ROTHSTEIN, KASS & COMPANY, P.C. AS THE COMPANY'S
                   INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.  



                                  OTHER MATTERS

          The Board of Directors does not know of any matters other than those
referred to in the Notice of Meeting which will be presented for consideration
at the Meeting.  However, it is possible that certain proposals may be raised at
the Meeting by one or more stockholders.  In such case, or if any other matter
should properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the person named
in the accompanying proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with his or her best
judgment.

                             SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

          The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. 
Solicitations may be made by mail, personal interview, telephone, and telegram
by directors, officers and employees of the Company.  The Company will reimburse
banks, brokerage firms, other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for
reasonable expenses incurred in sending proxy material to beneficial owners of
the Company's capital stock.

                              STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

          In order to be included in the proxy materials for the Company's next
annual meeting of stockholders, stockholder proposals must be received by the
Company on or before July 10, 1997.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Alpha Hospitality Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware on March 19, 1993 and has adopted a December 31 year end.  The Company
owns and operates a dockside casino located in Greenville, Mississippi.  The 
Company also is pursuing casino development and management opportunities in 
Missouri and New York. In addition, the Company provides services for the 
management of hotels and motels located in ten states.


NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT
         ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of Alpha Hospitality Corporation and subsidiaries have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals.
All adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature and, in the opinion
of management, necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements of December 31, 1995, included in the 10-K.

     OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying statements
include the accounts of the company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

     LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - Loss per common share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding.  The Company's outstanding stock options
and warrants are excluded in the computation since they would have an
antidilutive effect on loss per common share.  Bally's 701 shares being held in
escrow are included in this calculation  (See Note 8).

     PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES - Revenues do not include the retail amount of
food and beverage of approximately $2,152, $1,786, $1,086 and $869 provided
gratuitously to customers, for the six months and three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

     NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In March 1995, Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-lived Assets and for the Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of" was issued.
The Company has adopted SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996.

     Statement No. 121 requires that long-lived assets (and certain
intangibles) to be held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable.

     The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of certain of its
assets in relation to historical results, as well as management's best estimate
of future trends, events and overall business climate on the Gulf Coast.

     If such reviews indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not
be recoverable, the Company would then estimate the future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges).  If such future cash flows are
insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, then impairment is
triggered and the carrying value of any impaired assets would then be reduced to
fair value.

     Effective April 12, 1996, the Company restructured its capital sign lease
of approximately $745 with an unrelated party.  The terms of the restructure
reduces the lease principal amount to $475 and forgives approximately $74 of
accrued interest.  The effective rate of the restructured lease is 10%  per
annum, with a four-year term.

     Effective June 26, 1996, the Company issued 44 shares of its preferred
stock in settlement of a certain loan payable of $1,181, accrued interest of $41
and a five percent transaction fee of $61.

     At June 30, 1996, the Company was in default of (i) its mortgage notes
payable for non-payment, (ii) the Lakeshore equipment notes aggregating
approximately $3,433 for the breach of several loan covenants and the loan
payable to Bryanston of approximately $2,474 for non-payment.  The Company
received a waiver of the defaults of the loan payable and mortgage note payable
to Bryanston through December 31, 1997.  Accordingly, the Lakeshore mortgage

capital lease of approximately $745 for non-payment and certain loans payable
aggregating approximately $3,655 went into default in 1996 due to non-payment.
The Company received a waiver of the default of the loan payable to Bryanston.
Accordingly, the mortgage notes payable ($11,536), equipment notes payable

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company is obligated under a $20,000 non-revolving promissory note
with Bryanston.  Effective June 26, 1996, the Company issued 694 shares of its
preferred stock in settlement of $19,165 of its note and a five percent
transaction fee of $958.  The outstanding balance at June 30, 1996 and December
31, 1995 is $931 and $17,361, respectively.  The note, which bears interest at
prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 1996) plus 2%, is payable at the lesser of the
outstanding principal amount or $2,000 per annum through December 31, 1999.
Beginning 1996, interest accrued monthly is due and payable by the following
month.  All remaining principal and accrued interest (approximately $503) shall
be due on December 31, 2000.  Additionally, commencing May 1, 1996 and for each
of the next succeeding three years thereafter, the Company will be required to
make additional principal payments equal to "Available Cash Flow of Maker" as
defined in the note.

     In accordance with Mississippi law, the Company's casino licenses have
initial terms of two years and will be subject to periodic renewal.  In October
1995, the Company received renewals of their casino licenses through October
1997.

     In July 1996 the Company closed its Lakeshore Casino. (See Note 11)

     Failure to retain the Greenville license could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations.

     In October 1994, Alpha Gulf was named as a defendant in an action brought
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi
(Susan E. Wolff, et al v. James C. Zamecnik, et al.) on the theory of "liquor
liability" for the service of alcohol to a customer, who subsequently was
involved in an automobile collision with the Plaintiff.  The principle theory of
liability against Alpha Gulf is based on its service of alcohol to a customer
when it knew, or should have known, he was intoxicated and then allowed him to
drive his automobile from the casino.  The Company was named as an additional
defendant in May 1995 based primarily on the allegation that it is the alter-ego
of its subsidiary, and secondarily on the theory of liquor liability.  The
Plaintiff initially sought $20,000.  Early in the litigation, Plaintiff sought a
default judgment against Alpha Gulf relating to evidence that was destroyed.
The court denied the action, but granted Plaintiff's attorney fees in an amount
to be determined, but to date not yet determined.  The Plaintiff also initiated
a declaratory judgment action in the same court against Alpha Gulf and its
insurance carriers seeking a determination as to the liability of such carriers
under the insurance policies issued by the carriers to Alpha Gulf and the
Company for any damages found against Alpha Gulf in the primary litigation up to
the policy limits.  The declaratory judgment action appears to have been brought
in response to issues raised by the primary insurance carrier as to timely
notice of the incident and possible spoilation of evidence.  Subsequently, the
primary insurance carrier initiated its own declaratory judgment action against
Alpha Gulf and the Company (Commerce & Industry Company v. Alpha Gulf Coast,
Inc. and Alpha Hospitality Corporation, Inc.:  United States District Court for

the Southern for District of Mississippi, Jackson Division) seeking a 
determination that it is not liable under the subject insurance policy.  The 
declaratory judgment action instituted by Plaintiff was dismissed in June 
1996 and the declaratory judgment action instituted by the primary insurance 
carrier is subject to dismissal.  In addition, a settlement has been reached 
between Plaintiff and the Company's insurance carrier with respect to the 
underlying personal liability action in the amount of $5,125, with respect to 
all issues relating to the underlying personal liability action, subject to 
completion of the settlement documents and the approval of the court.  The 
principal insurance carrier which will pay the settlement may attempt to 
assert that the Company and Alpha Gulf have an obligation to reimburse it for 
payment of the settlement amount, which dispute may be litigated.  
Accordingly, no provision for any liability to the Company that may result 
upon adjudication has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements.

     In January 1996, the Company was named as a defendant in an action
brought in the Circuit Court of Hinds County, Mississippi (Amos vs Alpha Gulf
Coast, Inc.; Batiste vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc., Dycre vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.;
Johnston vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Rainey vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.).  Based on
the theory of "liquor liability" for the service of alcohol to a customer,
Plaintiffs alleged that on January 16, 1995, a vehicle operated by Mr. Amos
collided with a vehicle negligently operated by Mr. Rainey, an individual that
was served alcoholic beverages by the Company.  Plaintiffs alleged that they
suffered personal injuries and seek compensatory damages aggregating $17.1
million and punitive damages aggregating $37.5 million.  The ultimate outcome of
this litigation cannot presently be determined as this case is presently in the
early phases of discovery.  Accordingly, no provision for liability to the
Company that may result upon adjudication has been made in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.  The Company believes that the risk referred
to in this paragraph is adequately covered by insurance.

     The Company is a party to various other legal actions which arise in the
normal course of business.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the
resolution of these other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the Company.


NOTE 8 - AMOUNT DUE UNDER REDEMPTION AGREEMENT

     Effective October 15, 1995, the Company restructured certain equipment
notes, aggregating approximately $9,000, with unrelated parties.  Pursuant to
the restructuring requirements, the Company will repay approximately $6,500 in
48 monthly installments of $166, which includes interest of 10% per annum,
commencing December 15, 1995.  The balance of $2,500 bears interest at 10% per
annum, is due on November 15, 1999, and may either be partially or fully repaid,
pursuant to an escrow agreement, from the net proceeds from the sale of
approximately 701 shares of the Company's common stock held in escrow.  To the
extent that the net proceeds exceeds $2,500 plus accrued interest, the excess
will be applied to the $6,500 portion of the debt.  However, if the net proceeds
are less than the $2,500 plus accrued interest, then the Company will be
required to remit the balance due at maturity.  The escrow agreement provides
for the unrelated party to have full voting rights pertaining to the escrowed
shares and the right to sell any or all of the shares.  The Company has the
right of first refusal to purchase the shares that the unrelated party desires
to sell.  The debt is collateralized by the Company's barge and certain gaming
equipment.

NOTE 8 - AMOUNT DUE UNDER REDEMPTION AGREEMENT - (CONTINUED)

     At June 30, 1996, the amount due under the redemption agreement is $174
of accrued interest only, since the fair market value of the stock at June 30,
1996 ($3.8125) exceeded the price at the date of the agreement ($3.50).


NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
     Effective June 26, 1996, the Company issued 694 and 44 shares,
respectively, of its preferred stock, in settlement of $19,165 and $1,222,
respectively, of their unsecured debt with Bryanston and an unrelated third
party (see Notes 5 and 7).  The Company was charged a five percent transaction
fee of approximately $1,020, which was also converted into shares of the
Company's preferred stock.  The conversion rate was based on the fair market
value of the Company's common stock at the date of conversion ($3.625).  Each
preferred share is convertible into eight shares of the Company's common stock
after December 31, 1996 and carries voting rights of one vote per preferred
share.  The preferred stock also carries a dividend of $3.05 per share, payable
quarterly.

     Changes in stockholders' equity during the six months ended June 30, 1996
include the net loss of $20,924, common stock with a value of $2,454 issued to a
creditor and placed in escrow, pursuant to the October 15, 1995 restructuring of
certain equipment notes and preferred stock issued in settlement of unsecured
debt aggregating $21,406.


NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
     The Company and all of its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal
income tax return.  Income tax expense is allocated pursuant to the separate tax
attributes of each subsidiary.  At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
Company's deferred federal tax asset is comprised of the tax benefit (cost)
associated with the following items based on the 35% tax rate currently in
effect (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES - (CONTINUED)

     The Company has available for federal income tax purposes, a net
operating loss carryover of approximately $37,450 of which $883, $7,407, $24,637
and $19,682 will expire in the years 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 respectively.


NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On July 2, 1996 the Company notified the Mississippi Gaming Commission
(the "Commission") and the employees of the Jubilation Casino of its plans to
close the Jubilation Casino by the end of August 1996.  On July 16, 1996,
operation of the Jubilation Casino was suspended in compliance with a directive
of the Commission which raised that its working capital available to the
Jubilation Casino was not sufficient.  The Commission required that the
Jubilation Casino's working capital be increased.  This working capital
requirement was reviewed by Jubilation Lakeshore in light of its previously
announced plan to close the Jubilation Casino during August 1996 and the costs
which would be incurred to reopen the Jubilation Casino.  Based on this review,
Jubilation Lakeshore decided not to reopen the Jubilation Casino and 
surrendered its gaming license for the Lakeshore site.

     On July 26, 1996, the Company was in default of its notes payable to
former Cotton Club stockholders in the amount of $1,897 (See Note 4), for 
non-payment.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995:
     Alpha Gulf generated revenues of $19,490 and $13,285 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Casino revenues were $18,921 and $12,647 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Food, beverage and other revenues were $569 and $638 in 1996 and
1995, respectively.  This increase in casino revenues is primarily due to the
relocation of the Alpha Gulf's Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino from Lakeshore,
Mississippi to Greenville, Mississippi in November 1995.  During this period the
Jubilee Casino achieved 50% market share in the Greenville market.  In addition
the Greenville market increased by 7.5% over the same period last year.

     At the locations referred to above, Alpha Gulf's casino operating
expenses were $6,596 and $6,848, (35% and 54% of casino revenues) in 1996 and
1995,  respectively.  Food, beverage and other expenses were $763 and $862 (134%
and 135% of food, beverage and other revenues) in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The reduced casino expenses in 1996 when compared to 1995 of $252 was the
net result of reduced staffing levels ($91), the decrease in the costs related
to food and beverages provided gratuitously to customers ($590), which is the
direct result of the reduction of gratuitous food and beverages provided to
casino customers and the related costs thereto, an increase in gaming taxes
($712), which is directly related to increased revenues and a decrease in
operating expenses ($283), which is the result of management operating more
efficiently.

                                          14

<PAGE>

     Food and beverage revenue does not include the retail value of food and
beverage of approximately $1,492 and $1,787 provided gratuitously to customers
in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The reduction of food, beverage and other costs are directly related to
the reduced volume of food and beverage revenues.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consists of payroll and
related benefits of approximately $2,827 and $2,975, marketing and advertising
of approximately $3,503 and $1,617, occupancy costs of approximately $871 and
$1,024, and operating expenses of approximately $1,563 and $1,173 in 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The reduced payroll and related costs of $148 was a direct
result of management's cost-cutting measures instituted during the first quarter
of 1995.  The $1,886 increase in marketing and advertising is directly related
to the increased volume of business and management's introduction of marketing
programs focused on identifying new customers.  The reduction of occupancy costs
of $153 is primarily due to reduced insurance costs.  The increase in operating
expenses of $390 was directly related to the increased volume of business.

     Interest expense was primarily related to the first mortgage on the
gaming vessel, equipment financing and various capitalized leases.

     Depreciation and amortization was $2,384 and $1,955 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The increase was the direct result of an increase in capital
expenditures related to the relocation of the gaming vessel to Greenville, 
Mississippi and the purchase of equipment and fixtures.


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995:
     Alpha Gulf generated revenues of $9,653 and $6,733 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Casino revenues were $9,360 and $6,414 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Food, beverage and other revenues were $293 and $319 in 1996 and
1995, respectively.  This increase in casino revenues is primarily due to the
relocation of the Alpha Gulf's Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino from Lakeshore,
Mississippi to Greenville, Mississippi in November 1995.

     At the locations referred to above, Alpha Gulf's casino operating
expenses were $3,346 and $3,112, (36% and 49% of casino revenues) in 1996 and
1995, respectively.  Food, beverage and other expenses were $305 and $432 (104%
and 135% of food, beverage and other revenues) in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The increased casino expenses in 1996, when compared to 1995 of $234, is
the net result of increased staffing levels ($63), due to the increased volume
of business, the decrease in the costs related to food and beverages provided
gratuitously to customers ($177), which is a direct result of the reduction of
gratuitous food and beverages provided to casino customers and the related costs
thereto and an increase in gaming taxes ($345), which is the direct result of
increased revenues.

     Food and beverage revenue does not include the retail value of food and
beverage of approximately $748 and $869 provided gratuitously to customers in
1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The reduction of food, beverage and other costs are directly related to
the reduced volume of food and beverage revenues.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consists of payroll and
related benefits of approximately $1,423 and $1,447, marketing and advertising
of approximately $1,621 and $626, occupancy costs of approximately $427 and $517
and operating expenses of $763 and $529 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
reduced payroll and related costs of $24 was a direct result of management's
cost-cutting measures instituted during the first quarter of 1995.  The $995
increase in marketing and advertising is directly related to the increased
volume of business and management's introduction of marketing programs focused
on identifying new customers.  The reduction of occupancy costs of $90 is
primarily due to reduced insurance costs.  The increase in operating expenses of
$144 was the direct result of the increase in volume of business.

                                          15

     Interest expense was primarily related to the first mortgage on the
gaming vessel, equipment financing and various capitalized leases.

     Depreciation and amortization was $1,156 and $978 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The increase was a direct result of an increase in capital
expenditures related to the relocation of the gaming vessel to Greenville, 
Mississippi and the purchase of equipment and fixtures.

  FUTURE OPERATIONS - ALPHA GULF

     Alpha Gulf's Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino operating results have improved
since its relocation to Greenville.  The gaming revenues achieved to date by the
Jubilee Casino in Greenville far exceed the revenues of its predecessor gaming
vessel at that site.  Alpha Gulf's casino operations in Greenville have become a
major factor in the Greenville market and has helped to expand that market.

     A third gaming vessel has announced that it will be opening in the last
quarter of this year in Greenville.  It is unknown at this time what impact this
third gaming vessel will have on the Greenville casino market.  Management
believes that this third gaming vessel will negatively impact Alpha Gulf's
current market achievement but to what extent this act will have on future
revenues is uncertain at this time.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - JUBILATION

     The Company acquired the Jubilation gaming vessel (formerly known as the
Cotton Club) on October 26, 1995.  The vessel's operations in Greenville was
terminated on October 30, 1995.  After its relocation to Lakeshore, Mississippi
the Jubilation reopened for business December 21, 1995.  The following table
sets forth the statement of operations for the Jubilation casino operations
before income taxes and intercompany charges for the six months and three months
ended June 30, 1996 (in thousands):

 SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     The Jubilation experienced a loss from operations of $2,258 and $1,090
during the six months and three months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
During the second quarter of 1996, management became uncertain as to whether the
Jubilation Casino would be profitable during the remainder of fiscal 1996.
Management reduced operating costs and monitored the operation very closely.  To
overcome the Jubilation Casino's declining revenues, the Company would have to
construct additional amenities which would require a substantial investment of
funds.  Since revenues did not improve during May and June 1996, which are part
of the peak season, a continued decline was expected by management in the third
quarter.  Therefore, on July 2, 1996, the Company notified the Mississippi
Gaming Commission (the "Commission") and the employees of the Jubilation Casino
of its plans to close the Jubilation Casino by the end of August 1996.  In
connection with the plan to close the Jubilation Casino, the realizability of
the capital leasehold and improvements related to the Jubilation Casino were
reassessed.  Effective for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996, management
recorded an impairment loss of $14,507 to property and equipment, representing
the unamortized balance of these leasehold improvements.

     On July 16, 1996, operation of the Jubilation Casino was suspended in
compliance with a directive of the Commission which raised that the working
capital available to the Jubilation Casino was not sufficient.  The Commission
required that the Jubilation Casino's working capital be increased.  This
working capital requirement was reviewed by Jubilation Lakeshore in light of its
previously announced plan to close the Jubilation Casino during August 1996 and
the costs which would be incurred to reopen the Jubilation Casino.  Based on
this review, Jubilation Lakeshore decided not to reopen the Jubilation Casino.

CASINO DEVELOPMENT


  NEW YORK - ALPHA MONTICELLO

     On January 19, 1996, the Company, through its subsidiary, Alpha St.
Regis, entered into a memorandum of understanding with Catskill Development,
L.L.C. ("Catskill") regarding the development and management of a casino to be
built adjacent to the Monticello Raceway in Sullivan County, New York.  The
development and management of this casino will be undertaken by Mohawk
Management L.L.C., of which the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Alpha
Monticello, owns 50%, and will be responsible for the day-to-day operations.  It
is intended that the casino will be owned by the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and will
be located on land to be placed in trust for the benefit of the Tribe.

     On August 2, 1996, Mohawk Management L.L.C. executed an agreement with
the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe for the management of the proposed casino referred to
above.  The Tribe has submitted this agreement to the National Indian Gaming
Commission for its approval.

     During 1996 and 1995, Alpha Monticello incurred approximately $490 and
$20, respectively, of costs primarily associated with its participation with
Catskill.

  NEW YORK - ALPHA ST. REGIS

     In March 1994, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement
relating to the operation and development of a gaming facility located on the
reservation of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe of Hogansburg, New York.  The Company
does not intend to proceed with the project at Hogansburg, New York, since the
Company and the Tribe are exploring a more suitable arrangement relating to the
development of a casino in Sullivan County, New York, as discussed above.

   NEW YORK - ALPHA ST. REGIS - (CONTINUED)

     During 1995 Alpha St. Regis incurred costs of approximately $177 relating
to its proposed development of a gaming facility in Hogansburg, New York.

  MISSOURI - ALPHA MISSOURI

     Alpha Missouri has not commenced operations.  Alpha Missouri has
applications pending for site approval and a gaming license with respect to the
development of a riverboat gaming facility in Louisiana, Missouri.  It has
incurred development costs of approximately $87 and $179 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, related to its proposed development of a riverboat casino in
Louisiana, Missouri.

  COLORADO

     Effective May 1, 1996, the Company terminated its stock acquisition
agreement with Doc Holliday, Inc., which owns and operates Doc Holliday Casino,
located in Central City, Colorado.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995:
     Total management fees decreased during the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995 by approximately $289 (21.6%).
The decrease was principally from the net result of $83 increase in fees from
continuing management agreements and a decrease of $372 related to the loss of
five management agreements (which related to hotels whose ownership changed).
The increase in fees earned was the result of increases in the hotels' gross
revenues on which the management fees are based.  The factors that influence
such gross revenues are general economic conditions, competitive changes in
geographic regions, foreign exchange rates relative to the strength of U.S.
dollar, the price of gasoline, air fares and general weather conditions.

     Direct payroll and related costs decreased 6.1% to $59 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 from $636 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The
decrease was the result of a reduction in staffing to accommodate the decrease
in management contracts being serviced.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $39 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from $123 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
This decrease is a result of office relocation to a less expensive area.

<PAGE>

  THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
     Total management fees decreased during the three months ended June 30,
1996 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995 by approximately $194
(24.5%).  The decrease was principally from the net result of $64 increase in
fees from continuing management agreements and a decrease of $258 related to the
loss of five management agreements (which related to hotels whose ownership
changed).

     Direct payroll and related costs decreased 5.6% to $289 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 from $306 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.
The decrease was the result of a reduction in staffing to accommodate the
decrease in management contracts being serviced.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $16 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $54 for the three months ended June 30,
1995.  This decrease is a result of office relocation to a less expensive area.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     The Company continues to suffer significant losses from operations and
has a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit.  In addition, the Company
was not in compliance with certain long-term debts which are included in current
liabilities.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  Management plans include continuing to
operate the Jubilee Casino profitability (see Future Operations      Alpha
Gulf), developing future casino locations in Missouri and New York and
continuing to reduce and monitor operating expenses.  In early July 1996 the
Company began implementation of a plan to close the Jubilation Casino in August
1996.  On July 16, 1996, operation of the Jubilation Casino was suspended in
compliance with a directive of the Mississippi Gaming Commission which raised
that its working capital available to the Jubilation Casino was not sufficient.
The Commission required that the Jubilation Casino's working capital be
increased.  This working capital requirement was reviewed by Jubilation
Lakeshore in light of its previously announced plan to close the Jubilation
Casino during August 1996 and the costs which would be incurred to reopen the
Jubilation Casino.  Based on this review, Jubilation Lakeshore decided not to
reopen the Jubilation Casino.

     Although the Company experienced a net loss of $20,924, for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996, there was cash provided by operating activities 
of $852. The inflow of cash from operating activities resulted from non-cash 
expenses of $18,703 and a positive net change in operating assets and 
liabilities of $3,063. Non-cash expenses primarily consisted of depreciation 
are amortization of $3,445, debt conversion fee of $1,019 and the write-off 
of the Lakeshore leasehold improvements of $14,507. The change in operating 
assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a decrease in prepaid insurance 
of $1,134, a decrease in other current assets of $636 and an increase in 
accrued payroll and related liabilities of $1,099.


     Although the Company experienced a net loss of $5,247, for the six 
months ended June 30, 1995, net cash used in operating activities was only 
$1,366. The inflow of cash from operating activities resulted from non-cash 
expenses of $2,982 and a positive net change in operating assets and 
liabilities $899. Non-cash expenses primarily consisted of depreciation and 
amortization of $1,955 and the write-off of capitalized costs related to 
Indians of $858. The change in operating assets and liabilities primarily 
consisted of an increase in accrued payroll and related liabilities of $857.

     In October 1994, Alpha Gulf was named as a defendant in an action brought
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi
(Susan E. Wolff, et al v. James C. Zamecnik, et al.) on the theory of "liquor
liability" for the service of alcohol to a customer, who subsequently was
involved in an automobile collision with the Plaintiff.  The principle theory of
liability against Alpha Gulf is based on its service of alcohol to a customer
when it knew, or should have known, he was intoxicated and then allowed him to
drive his automobile from the casino.  The Company was named as an additional
defendant in May 1995 based primarily on the allegation that it is the alter-ego
of its subsidiary, and secondarily on the theory of liquor liability.  The
Plaintiff initially sought $20,000.  Early in the litigation, Plaintiff sought a
default judgment against Alpha Gulf relating to evidence that was destroyed.
The court denied the motion, but granted Plaintiff's attorney fees in an amount
to be determined, but to date not yet determined.  The Plaintiff also initiated
a declaratory judgment action in the same court against Alpha Gulf

                                          19

and its insurance carriers seeking a determination as to the liability of such
carriers under the insurance policies issued by the carriers to Alpha Gulf and
the Company for any damages found against Alpha Gulf in the primary litigation
up to the policy limits.  The declaratory judgment action appears to have been
brought in response to issues raised by the primary insurance carrier as to
timely notice of the incident and possible spoilation of evidence.
Subsequently, the primary insurance carrier initiated its own declaratory
judgment action against Alpha Gulf and the Company (Commerce & Industry Company
v. Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc. and Alpha Hospitality Corporation, Inc.:  United
States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Jackson
Division)  seeking a determination that it is not liable under the subject
insurance policy.  The declaratory judgment action instituted by Plaintiff was
dismissed in June 1996 and the declaratory judgment action instituted by the
primary insurance carrier is subject to dismissal.  In addition, a settlement
has been reached between Plaintiff and the Company's insurance carrier with
respect to the underlying personal liability action in the amount of $5,125,
with respect to all issues relating to the underlying personal liability action,
subject to completion of the settlement documents and the approval of the court.
The principal insurance carrier which will pay the settlement may attempt to
assert that the Company and Alpha Gulf have an obligation to reimburse provision
it for payment of the settlement amount, which dispute may be litigated.
Accordingly, no provision for any liability to the Company that may result upon
adjudication has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

     In January 1996, the Company was named as a defendant in an action
brought in the Circuit Court of Hinds County, Mississippi (Amos vs Alpha Gulf
Coast, Inc.; Batiste vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Dycre vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.,
Johnston vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Rainey vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.).  Based on
the theory of "liquor liability" for the service of alcohol to a customer,
Plaintiffs alleged that on January 16, 1995, a vehicle operated by Mr. Amos
collided with a vehicle negligently operated by Mr. Rainey, an individual that
was served alcoholic beverages by the Company.  Plaintiffs alleged that they
suffered personal injuries and seek compensatory damages aggregating $17.1
million and punitive damages aggregating $37.5 million.  The ultimate outcome of
this litigation cannot presently be determined as this case is presently in the
early phases of discovery.  Accordingly, no provision for liability to the
Company that may result upon adjudication has been made in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.  The Company believes that the risk refereed
to in this paragraph is adequately covered by insurance.

     The Company is obligated under a $20,000 non-revolving promissory note
with Bryanston.  Effective June 26, 1996, the Company issued 694 shares of its
preferred stock in settlement of $19,165 of its note and a five percent
transaction fee of $958.  The outstanding balance at June 30, 1996 and December
31, 1995 is $931 and $17,361, respectively.  The note, which bears interest at
prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 1996) plus 2%, is payable at the lesser of the
outstanding principal amount or $2,000 per annum through December 31, 1999.
Beginning 1996, interest accrued monthly is due and payable by the following
month.  All remaining principal and accrued interest (approximately $503) shall
be due on December 31, 2000.  Additionally, commencing May 1, 1996 and for each
of the next succeeding three years thereafter, the Company will be required to
make additional principal payments equal to "Available Cash Flow of Maker" as
defined in the note.

     Effective June 26, 1996, the Company issued 44 shares of its preferred
stock in settlement of a certain loan payable of $1,181, accrued interest of $41
and a five percent transaction fee of $61.

     At June 30, 1996, the Company was in default of  (i) its mortgage notes
payable for non-payment,  (ii) the equipment notes relating to the Jubilation
Casino aggregating approximately $3,433 for the breach of several loan covenants
and a loan payable to Bryanston of approximately $2,474 for non-payment.  The
Company received a waiver of the defaults of the loan payable and mortgage note
payable to Bryanston.  Accordingly, the mortgage note payable ($3,656) and the
equipment notes payable ($3,433), relating to the Jubilation Casino, are
reflected in current liabilities at June 30, 1996.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

(a)  Alpha Hospitality Corporation (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, is
     engaged in (i) the ownership and operation of two gaming vessels:  the
     Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino (the "Greenville Casino") located in 
     Greenville, Mississippi, and the Jubilation Casino (the "Lakeshore Casino")
     located on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi in Lakeshore, Mississippi and (ii)
     providing of management services to hotels owned by third parties.  The
     Company acquired the Lakeshore Casino gaming vessel in October 1995 in
     connection with its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Cotton
     Club of Greenville, Inc. ("Cotton Club") now known as Jubilation Lakeshore,
     Inc. ("Cotton Club Acquisition").  The Company has also formed wholly owned
     subsidiaries to pursue gaming licenses for additional casinos in various
     states.  See "Business - Proposed Operations"; "Business - Government
     Regulation" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
     Operations and Financial Condition."  The Company completed an initial
     public offering of its securities on November 5, 1993.

(b)  Financial information about industry segments is included in the
     consolidated financial statements included herein.

(c)  Casino Operations:

     THE LAKESHORE CASINO:

     The Lakeshore Casino, located near Waveland, Hancock County, Mississippi on
     the Gulf of Mexico, is owned and operated by the Company's wholly-owned
     subsidiary, Jubilation Lakeshore, Inc.  It operates Las Vegas-style
     gambling with a variety of slot machines, craps, roulette, blackjack and
     other table games.  The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Alpha Gulf Coast,
     Inc. ("Alpha Gulf") initiated the Company's gaming operations at the
     Lakeshore site on January 12, 1994.  Alpha Gulf owns and operates the Bayou
     Caddy's Jubilee Casino which was constructed on a marine vessel in 1993. 
     This vessel was operated at Lakeshore until October 30, 1995 when it was
     moved to the Greenville site acquired in the "Cotton Club Acquisition".  In
     place of the Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino, the Company through its wholly-
     owned subsidiary Jubilation Lakeshore, Inc. relocated its Jubilation gaming
     vessel from Greenville and commenced operations on December 21, 1995.  The
     Jubilation gaming vessel is an ocean going vessel that was renovated for
     gaming purposes in 1993.  The Jubilation casino has 550 slot machines and
     11 table games.  Management believes that the smaller Jubilation facility
     can adequately service the existing Lakeshore market with substantially
     reduced cost of operations.  However, based upon limited capacity, it is
     uncertain that the casino will be successful.  The Jubilation is
     permanently moored to a dock, consequently, accessibility by patrons is not
     limited to pre-schedule departure and arrival times.  The Mississippi
     Gaming Control Act (the "Mississippi Act") stipulates that, at a county's
     option, gaming may be conducted on a vessel in navigable waters of the
     counties bordering on the Mississippi River or on a vessel in the Gulf of
     Mexico.  Mississippi law permits unlimited wagering, 24-hour operations and
     the issuance of house credit to qualified patrons.  Gaming debts incurred
     in Mississippi casinos are recognized as legally enforceable in the State
     of Mississippi.

     Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of May 14, 1993, among
     Alpha Gulf, Bayou Caddy, Inc. ("BCI") and certain BCI stockholders, the
     Company, through Alpha Gulf acquired BCI's leasehold interests under
     certain lease agreements and certain other assets incidental to the
     development and ownership of the Lakeshore Casino. See "Certain
     Transactions" and "Consolidated Financial Statements."

     The Lakeshore Casino is located within a 300-mile radius of approximately
     3,300,000 people and is the closest Mississippi dockside gaming
     establishment to the New Orleans metropolitan area, being approximately 50
     miles from the center of New Orleans.  A substantial portion of the New
     Orleans target population is located in its eastern suburbs which are
     considerably closer to the Casino than central New Orleans.

                                       1

<PAGE>

     THE GREENVILLE CASINO

     In October 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of
     Cotton Club, existing shareholder notes in the amount of approximately $8
     million and certain additional assets of affiliates of Cotton Club, which
     support its current casino operation.  The Company paid to the shareholders
     of Cotton Club $2,404,898 in cash and $3,293,020 in notes and transferred
     $4,500,000 worth of its Common Stock, as determined by the closing bid
     price of the stock as of the day prior to the closing of the transaction. 
     (SEE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN).  Prior to the acquisition of
     the Cotton Club, the Company applied for and received the required licenses
     and approvals from the Mississippi Commission.

     Following the Cotton Club Acquisition, the Company transferred its Bayou
     Caddy's Jubilee Casino located at Lakeshore on the Gulf coast to the Cotton
     Club site in Greenville.  The Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino reopened in
     Greenville, Mississippi on November 17, 1995.  At the same time, the Cotton
     Club's gaming vessel was transferred to the Company's Lakeshore,
     Mississippi location.  The movement of the Company's Jubilee gaming vessel
     to the Greenville site increased the capacity at the Greenville site and
     brought an upscale facility to the Greenville market.  The Bayou Caddy's
     Jubilee Casino has 835 slot machines and 38 table games.  In addition to
     its gaming activities, the Greenville facility includes a 175 seat buffet,
     a 350 seat showroom, a 110 seat restaurant and parking for 950 customer
     vehicles.  Management believes the Jubilee vessel, with aggressive
     entertainment and promotional programs and what it believes to be a
     superior product and casino capacity, will be able to capture a significant
     portion of the Greenville market.  The Company believes that its
     management's experience together with active entertainment/promotional
     efforts, it will be able to expand the market for the casino to areas
     outside of Greenville.

PROPOSED OPERATIONS

     NEW YORK

     On January 19, 1995, the Company, through its subsidiary, Alpha St. Regis,
     Inc. ("Alpha St. Regis"), entered into a memorandum of understanding with
     Catskill Development, L.L.C. ("Catskill") pursuant to which Alpha St. Regis
     is to participate in the development of, and thereafter manage, a casino to
     be built adjacent to the Monticello Raceway in Sullivan County, New York. 
     It is intended that the casino will be owned by the St. Regis Mohawk Indian
     Tribe (the "Tribe") and will be located on land to be placed in trust for
     the benefit of the Tribe.  The Monticello Raceway is located 90 miles from
     New York City.  The projected casino would be the closest casino to the
     metropolitan New York City area.

     The casino project is subject to approval by the U.S. Department of the
     Interior and its Bureau of Indian Affairs, the National Indian Gaming
     Commission and the Governor of the State of New York, as well as the
     execution of definitive agreements with the Tribe.  It is contemplated that
     the Company will be required to contribute an amount preliminarily
     estimated at $250,000 toward the design, architectural and other costs of
     developing plans for the casino.  Under the memorandum of understanding,
     Catskill and Alpha St. Regis commit to enter into a definitive agreement on
     the terms established in the memorandum, but there can be no assurance that
     such an agreement will ever be consummated.  Bryanston Group, Inc., an
     affiliate ("Bryanston") is a 25% member of Catskill.

     Catskill is the contract vendee for the purchase of the 225 acre Monticello
     Raceway.  It plans to continue Monticello's racing program and to explore
     other development at the site in addition to the St. Regis Mohawk Casino.

     MISSOURI 

     In February 1995, the City of Louisiana, Missouri, designated the Company
     as the city's exclusive designee to enter into negotiations with the city
     to develop a riverboat gaming facility at the city's Mississippi River
     shoreline.  Consequently, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Alpha
     Missouri, Inc. ("Alpha Missouri") entered into a lease agreement with the
     City of Louisiana relating to certain City owned river front property
     required for the project.  Except for certain preliminary payments to the
     City, the Company's obligation under the lease are conditioned on the grant
     a gaming license by the Missouri gaming authorities.

     Alpha Missouri has submitted to the Missouri gaming authorities the initial
     applications for site approval and a gaming license.  The Missouri
     Commission has notified the Company that, due to scarce resources, it
     intends to conduct meetings with applicants in the first quarter of 1996 in
     order to determine the order of priority in which the Missouri Commission
     will conduct investigations and make determinations on all applications. 
     Alpha Missouri has met with the Missouri Commission to present its project
     for priority consideration.  There are no objective criteria which the
     Missouri Commission is required to follow in making its determinations. 
     See "Risk Factors - Licensing and Regulation."

     The City of Louisiana is located approximately 60 miles north of
     metropolitan St. Louis and 70 miles from Springfield, Illinois, that
     state's capital.

     The Company anticipates that it will provide a gaming vessel with a
     capacity of approximately 750 gaming positions.  The project cost is
     presently expected to be approximately $20 million.


     COLORADO

     On January 25, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all
     of the outstanding common stock of Doc Holliday, Inc. ("Doc Holliday"), the
     owner and operator of an 18,000 square foot casino in Central City,
     Colorado.  The Company will issue 92,000 shares of its Common Stock and a
     five-year option to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an
     exercise price of $3.50 per share in payment for the Doc Holliday stock. 
     The agreement may be terminated by the Company at anytime prior to closing
     for any reason, and by any of the parties if the transaction is not
     consummated by March 31, 1996.  Management has negotiated an extension to
     the agreement for an unspecified period of time.

     The acquisition is subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence
     by the Company, the execution of final purchase documents, and the issuance
     of the required licenses and approvals by the Colorado licensing
     authorities.  In the Fall, 1995, the Company filed the requisite forms with
     the Colorado Division of Gaming (the "Colorado Division") for approval of
     the Company's operation of Doc Holliday's casino in Central City, Colorado,
     as contemplated by the Doc Holliday Acquisition.  The Colorado Division is
     expected to complete its investigation and review of the Company's
     application within six months from the date of submission.  

     Central City is located at an altitude of 8,000 feet in the Rocky
     Mountains.  It is a historic mining town located approximately 45 minutes
     by automobile from Denver and Boulder and one hour from Vail and
     Breckenridge.  It is one of only three locations in Colorado at which
     gaming is allowed.  The casino is located in two renovated historic
     buildings which date back to Central City's years as a mining center.

                                       3

MARKETING

     The Company concentrates its sales, marketing and promotional activities
     for the Lakeshore Casino and the Greenville Casino in target markets within
     150 mile radii of each casino.  Target markets (such as New Orleans, the
     communities on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Baton Rouge, the Gulf
     Coast and central Mississippi for the Lakeshore Casino) are reached through
     a combination of billboards, radio, television, newspaper advertising, and
     direct mail.  Also, casino brochures are placed in tourist information
     areas, local and regional hotels, restaurants and bars.

     The Company has developed an in-house mailing list in excess of 225,000
     casino customers.  These customers are made up of table game players and
     "Slot Club" members.  Table game customers are identified through the
     casino's marketing representatives and their play is monitored to evaluate
     whether the customer warrants complimentary services provided by the
     casino.  The "Slot Club" is an operation which allows the casino's
     computerized tracking system to identify customers, amount of play and
     other pertinent characteristics.  The "Slot Club" is an ongoing promotion
     where members are issued cards and accumulate points based on the amount of
     their play.  Such points are redeemable for food, beverages or merchandise.
     Tournaments for blackjack, craps and poker are held, along with other
     special events and promotions.

     The Company markets its bus program for both the Lakeshore Casino and
     Greenville Casino to generate business in areas extending both within and
     beyond the 150-mile radius of concentrated advertising.  The marketing
     department coordinates with various tour groups, travel agencies and junket
     representatives who develop regular scheduled and chartered bus service to
     bring customers to the Casino sites on a 24-hour basis.

     In addition, the Company has erected a 100-foot Las Vegas-style sign on
     leased property fronting Highway 90 in Hancock County, Mississippi,
     directing customers to the Lakeshore Casino.

     In December of 1994, the Company completed the refurbishment of its leased
     dinner boat, the "Jubilation."  The Jubilation gives the Lakeshore Casino
     two dining alternatives.  The new restaurants are the "Captains Table,"
     offering fine dining in an elegant, nautical setting and the "Jubilation
     Cafe," which offers a more casual and moderately priced fare.  

     In January 1996, the Company completed renovation of its leased restaurant
     facility in Greenville.  The Jubilee Cafe and Grill with a capacity of 110
     gives the Greenville casino customer a dining alternative offering fine
     dining in an elegant setting.


COMPETITION

     The Company believes that the sources of the Lakeshore Casino's primary
     competition are the numerous existing gaming operations on the Gulf Coast
     of Mississippi and various operations established in Louisiana.  Many of
     these competitors are larger in terms of their size and number of gaming
     facilities and are located in more advantageous sites than the Company's
     Lakeshore Casino.  Secondary riverboat competition exists from current
     gaming operations in Natchez, Vicksburg, Greenville, Coahoma County and
     Tunica, Mississippi.  Gaming has also been established on Indian
     reservations in Louisiana and Mississippi.  The Choctaw Indians in late
     summer of 1994, opened a land-based casino located on their reservation
     near Philadelphia, Mississippi, which is approximately 200 miles north of
     the Gulf Coast.  In early 1995, the Grand Casino Coushatta near Lake
     Charles, Louisiana opened with full scale Las Vegas style gaming.

                                       4

<PAGE>

     There are currently 12 dockside gaming operations on the Mississippi Gulf
     Coast.  Eight of these operations- Isle of Capri, President, Casino Magic
     Biloxi, Lady Luck, Grand Casino Biloxi, Palace, Treasure Bay Biloxi and
     Boomtown are located in Biloxi, approximately 30 miles east of the
     Lakeshore Casino.  Grand Casino Gulfport and Copa Casino are located in
     Gulfport which is approximately 22 miles east of the Lakeshore Casino. 
     Approximately 10 miles east of the Lakeshore Casino is Bay St. Louis where
     the Casino Magic is located.  The casinos located on the Mississippi River
     are at least 150 miles from the Lakeshore Casino and are not considered
     direct competition to the Lakeshore Casino.

     There are currently 16 casinos located on the Mississippi River.  Next to
     the Greenville Casino is the Las Vegas Casino.  Currently, there is a
     proposed casino project which will be located north of the Greenville
     Casino.  This proposed casino project has not at this time received the
     necessary governmental approvals.  Management believes that if this project
     is completed it will impact current revenue levels being realized at the
     Greenville Casino.  Approximately 90 miles south of Greenville Casino is
     Vicksburg.  Vicksburg has four casinos: the Isle of Capri, Harrahs
     Vicksburg, Ameristar, and Rainbow Casino.  Approximately 90 miles north of
     the Greenville Casino is Coahoma County with the Lady Luck Coahoma Casino. 
     Tunica County is approximately 180 miles north of the Greenville Casino and
     has eight casinos - Harrahs Tunica, Sams Town, Fitzgeralds, Sheraton,
     Hollywood Casino, Circus Circus, Horshoe Casino and Ballys.

     The Mississippi Act does not limit the number of licenses that may be
     granted for an area, however, development throughout the state has slowed
     considerably.  The Company believes that few, if any, new casinos will open
     on the Mississippi Coast, or if they do, such casinos will open in the
     Biloxi area which is not in the Casino's primary market.  Although any
     increase in supply in the general area dilutes the market.  The Company
     believes that only two of the proposed New Orleans area facilities provide
     competition in Alpha Gulf's primary target market.

     Louisiana approved unlimited stakes riverboat gaming in 1993 and set aside
     up to 15 licenses for issuance.  The first of the New Orleans area
     riverboats opened in December 1993.  A land-based casino in downtown New
     Orleans was also approved and its temporary facility opened in May 1995. 
     That casino closed in December 1995 and filed for protection from creditors
     under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act.  The Company understands that there
     are on-going discussions between the owner of the New Orleans casino, the
     State of Louisiana, City of New Orleans, and the casino's bondholders
     concerning the possible reorganization of that casino. 


GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     GENERAL  

     The gaming industry is highly regulated by each of the states in which
     gaming is legal.  The regulations vary on a state by state basis, but
     generally require the operator, each owner of a substantial interest
     (usually 5% or more) in the operator, members of the Board of Directors,
     each officer and all key personnel found suitable, and be approved, by the
     applicable governing body.  The failure of any present, or future, person
     required to be approved to be, and remain qualified to hold a license could
     result in the loss of license.

     MISSISSIPPI

     GENERAL

     The ownership and operation of casino facilities in Mississippi are subject
     to extensive state and local regulation, primarily the licensing and
     regulatory control of the Mississippi Commission and the Mississippi State
     Tax Commission (collectively, the "Mississippi Authorities").

     The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of Mississippi and the
     Mississippi Commission seek to:  (i) prevent unsavory or unsuitable persons
     from having any direct or indirect involvement with gaming at any time or
     in any capacity; (ii) establish and maintain responsible accounting
     practices and procedures; (iii) maintain effective control over the
     financial practices of licensees, including establishing minimum procedures
     for internal fiscal affairs and safeguarding of assets and revenues,
     providing reliable record keeping and making periodic reports to the
     Mississippi Authorities; (iv) prevent cheating and fraudulent practices;
     (v) provide a source of state and local revenues through taxation and
     licensing fees; and (vi) ensure that gaming licensees, to the extent
     practicable, employ Mississippi residents.  The regulations are subject to
     amendment and to extensive interpretation by the Mississippi Commission in
     view of their recent adoption.  Changes in Mississippi law or regulations
     may limit or otherwise materially affect the types of gaming that may be
     conducted and could have an adverse effect on the Company and the Company's
     Mississippi gaming operations.

     The Mississippi Act provides for legalized dockside gaming at the
     discretion of the 14 counties that either border the Mississippi Gulf Coast
     or the Mississippi River, but only if the voters in such counties have not
     voted to prohibit gaming in that county.  As of January 1, 1996, dockside
     gaming was permissible in 9 of the 14 eligible counties in the state and
     gaming operations had commenced in Adams, Hancock, Harrison, Tunica and
     Warren counties.  The law permits unlimited stakes gaming on permanently
     moored vessels on a 24-hour basis and does not restrict the percentage of
     space that may be utilized for gaming.  There are no limitations on the
     number of gaming licenses that may be issued in Mississippi.

     REGISTRATION AND LICENSING  

     The Company, a registered publicly-traded holding company under the
     Mississippi Act, is required periodically to submit detailed financial and
     operating reports to the Mississippi Authorities and to furnish any other
     information that the Mississippi Authorities may require.  The Company and
     any subsidiary of the Company that operates a casino in Mississippi (a
     "Gaming Subsidiary"), is subject to the licensing and regulatory control of
     the Mississippi Commission.  If the Company is unable to continue to
     satisfy the registration requirements of the Mississippi Act, the Company
     and its Gaming Subsidiaries cannot own or operate gaming facilities in
     Mississippi.  Each Gaming Subsidiary must obtain gaming licenses from the
     Mississippi Commission to operate casinos in Mississippi.  A gaming license
     is issued by the Mississippi Commission subject to certain conditions,
     including continued compliance with all applicable state laws and
     regulations and physical inspection of casinos prior to opening.  A license
     for the operation of each of the casinos was granted by the Mississippi
     Commission.

     Gaming licenses are not transferable, are initially issued for a two-year
     period and are subject to periodic renewal.  No person may receive any
     percentage of profits from a gaming subsidiary of a holding company without
     first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Mississippi Commission.

                                       6

<PAGE>

     LICENSING OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES  

     Officers, directors and certain key employees of the Company and its Gaming
     Subsidiaries must be found suitable or be licensed by the Mississippi
     Commission, and employees associated with gaming must obtain work permits
     that are subject to immediate suspension under certain circumstances.  In
     addition, any person having a material relationship or involvement with the
     Company may be required to be found suitable or be licensed, in which case
     those persons must pay the costs and fees associated with such
     investigation.  The Mississippi Commission may deny an application for a
     license for any cause that it deems reasonable.  Changes in licensed
     positions must be reported to the Mississippi Commission.  In addition to
     its authority to deny an application for a license, the Mississippi
     Commission has jurisdiction to disapprove a change in corporate officers. 
     The Mississippi Commission has the power to require any Gaming Subsidiary
     and the Company to suspend or dismiss officers, directors and other key
     employees or sever relationships with other persons who refuse to file
     appropriate applications or whom the authorities find unsuitable to act in
     such capacities.

     INVESTIGATION OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES AND OTHERS  

     Mississippi law requires any person who acquires beneficial ownership of
     more than 5% of the Common Stock to report the acquisition to the
     Mississippi Commission, and such person may be required to be found
     suitable.  Also, any person who becomes a beneficial owner of more than 10%
     of the Common Stock, as reported in filings under the Exchange Act, must
     apply for a finding of suitability by the Mississippi Commission and must
     pay the costs and fees that the Mississippi Commission incurs in conducting
     the investigation.  The Mississippi Commission has generally exercised its
     discretion to require a finding of suitability of any beneficial owner of
     more than 5% of a company's stock.  If a stockholder who must be found
     suitable is a corporation, partnership or trust, it must submit detailed
     business and financial information, including a list of beneficial owners. 
     Representatives of the Mississippi Commission have indicated that
     institutional investors may only be required to file summary information in
     lieu of a suitability finding.

     Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a
     license within 30 days after being ordered to do so by the Mississippi
     Commission may be found unsuitable.  Any person found unsuitable and who
     holds, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of the securities
     of the Company beyond such time as the Mississippi Commission prescribes,
     may be guilty of a misdemeanor.  The Company is subject to disciplinary
     action if, after receiving notice that a person is unsuitable to be a
     stockholder or to have any other relationship with the Company or its
     Gaming Subsidiaries, the Company:  (i) pays the unsuitable person any
     dividend or other distribution upon the voting securities of the Company;
     (ii) recognizes the exercise, directly or indirectly, of any voting rights
     conferred by securities held by the unsuitable person; (iii) pays the
     unsuitable person any remuneration in any form for services rendered or
     otherwise, except in certain limited and specific circumstances; or (iv)
     fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require the unsuitable person to
     divest himself of the securities, including, if necessary, the immediate
     purchase of the securities for cash at a fair market value.

     The Company may be required to disclose to the Mississippi Commission upon
     request the identities of the holders of any debt securities.  In addition,
     the Mississippi Commission under the Mississippi Act may, in its
     discretion, (i) require disclosure of holders of debt securities of
     corporations registered with the Mississippi Commission, (ii) investigate
     such holders, and (iii) require such holders to be found suitable to own
     such debt securities.  Although the Mississippi Commission generally does
     not require the individual holders of obligations such as notes to be
     investigated and found suitable, the Mississippi Commission retains the
     discretion to do so for any reason, including but not limited to a default,
     or where the holder of the debt instrument exercises a material influence
     over the gaming operations of the entity in question.  Any holder of debt
     securities required to apply for a finding of suitability must pay all
     investigative fees and costs of the Mississippi Commission in connection
     with such an investigation.

                                       7

<PAGE>

     REQUIRED RECORDS  

     The Company must maintain a current stock ledger in Mississippi that the
     Mississippi Commission may examine at any time.  If any securities of the
     Company are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record holder
     may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner to the
     Mississippi Commission.  A failure to make such disclosure may be grounds
     for finding the record holder unsuitable.  The Company must also render
     maximum assistance in determining the identity of the beneficial owner.

     The Mississippi Act requires that the certificates representing securities
     of a publicly-traded corporation (as defined in the Mississippi Act) bear a
     legend to the general effect that such securities are subject to the
     Mississippi Act and the regulations of the Mississippi Commission.  The
     Mississippi Commission has the power to impose additional restrictions on
     the holders of the Company's securities at any time.  

     APPROVAL OF CORPORATE MATTERS AND FOREIGN GAMING OPERATIONS  

     Substantially all loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing
     transactions by a Gaming Subsidiary must be reported to or approved by the
     Mississippi Commission.  Changes in control of the Company through merger,
     consolidation, acquisition of assets, management or consulting agreements
     or any form of takeover cannot occur without the prior approval of the
     Mississippi Commission.

     The Mississippi legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions
     opposed by management, repurchases of voting securities and other takeover
     defense tactics that affect corporate gaming licensees in Mississippi and
     corporations whose stock is publicly-traded that are affiliated with those
     licensees, may be injurious to stable and productive corporate gaming.  The
     Mississippi Commission has established a regulatory scheme to ameliorate
     the potentially adverse effects of these business practices upon
     Mississippi's gaming industry and to further Mississippi's policy to:  (i)
     assure the financial stability of corporate gaming operators and their
     affiliates; (ii) preserve the beneficial aspects of conducting business in
     the corporate form; and (iii) promote a neutral environment for the orderly
     governance of corporate affairs.  Approvals are, in certain circumstances,
     required from the Mississippi Commission before the Company may make
     exceptional repurchases of voting securities above the current market price
     of its Common Stock (commonly called "greenmail") or before a corporate
     acquisition opposed by management may be consummated.  Mississippi's gaming
     regulations will also require prior approval by the Mississippi Commission
     if the Company adopts a plan of recapitalization proposed by its Board of
     Directors opposing a tender offer made directly to the stockholders for the
     purpose of acquiring control of the Company.

     Neither the Company nor any subsidiary may engage in gaming activities in
     Mississippi while also conducting gaming operations outside of Mississippi
     without approval of the Mississippi Commission.  The Mississippi Commission
     may require determinations that, among other things, there are means for
     the Mississippi Authorities to have access to information concerning the
     out-of-state gaming operations of the Company and its affiliates.

     SANCTIONS  

     If the Mississippi Commission were to decide that a Gaming Subsidiary had
     violated a gaming law or regulation, the Mississippi Commission could
     limit, condition, suspend or revoke the license of the Gaming Subsidiary. 
     In addition, the Gaming Subsidiary, the Company and the persons involved
     could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation.  Because
     of such violation, the Mississippi Commission could appoint a supervisor to
     operate the casino facilities, and, under certain circumstances, earnings
     generated during the supervisor's appointment (except the reasonable rental
     value of the casino facilities) could be forfeited to the State of
     Mississippi.  Limitations, conditioning or suspension of any gaming license
     or the appointment of a supervisor could (and revocation of any gaming
     license would) materially adversely affect the Company's and the Gaming
     Subsidiary's gaming operations.

<PAGE>

     FEES AND TAXES

     License fees and taxes, computed in various ways depending on the type of
     gaming involved, are payable to the State of Mississippi and to the
     counties and cities in which a Gaming Subsidiary's operations will be
     conducted.  Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees
     and taxes are payable either monthly, quarterly or annually and are based
     upon (i) a percentage of the gross gaming revenues received by the casino
     operation, (ii) the number of slot machines operated by the casino or (iii)
     the number of tables games operated by the casino.  The license fee payable
     to the State of Mississippi based upon "gaming receipts" (generally defined
     as gross receipts less payouts to customers as winnings) and equals 4% of
     gaming receipts of $50,000 or less per month, 6% of gaming receipts over
     $50,000 and less than $134,000 per month, and 8% of gaming receipts over
     $134,000.  The foregoing license fees are allowed as a credit against the
     Company's Mississippi income tax liability for the year paid.

     MISSOURI, COLORADO AND NEW YORK

     Missouri, Colorado and New York law each provide for a comprehensive,
     detailed scheme for the control of gaming operations in the state and the
     issuance of licenses for gaming, both to gaming facilities and to persons
     involved in certain gaming related activities.  Each of the supervising
     governmental agencies is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations
     applicable to the administration of gaming related laws.

     In connection with its proposed operations in Missouri and Colorado, the
     Company has commenced the application and approval process with each of the
     Missouri Gaming Commission and the Colorado Division of Gaming.

     EMPLOYEES

     As of February 1996, the Company had approximately 1,065 employees, of
     which 908 are full-time employees.  Management considers its employment
     relations to be satisfactory.


HOTEL OPERATIONS

     GENERAL

     The Company provides Management Services to hotels and motels primarily
     under the Service Agreement between Alpha Hotel Management, Inc. ("Alpha
     Hotel") and Bryanston, the contracting party with the individual owners of
     the hotels.  All of the hotels are "mid-priced" and all but one are
     operated as Days Inns hotels.  The Company provides Management Services on
     behalf of Bryanston as manager of the managed hotels.  The Company and
     Bryanston have designed a financial management system whereby all
     accounting information is processed in the Company's centralized accounting
     office in Hopewell Junction, New York.  The system includes management of
     all cash, accounts payable and receivable, and generates detailed monthly
     financial statements.  The Company provides each property with standardized
     forms and procedures in order that all accounting in the management system
     is uniform.  In addition to the Service Agreement the Company provides
     Management Services to hotels in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and in
     Branson, Missouri, under agreements with the owners.

                                       9

<PAGE>

     Under the Service Agreement, the Company is compensated for its services in
     an amount equal to a percentage of total net revenues of the managed hotels
     (net of 1% of aggregate revenue retained by Bryanston).  Such percentages
     range from 2% to 5%.  Additional fees are earned from various incentive
     agreements and accounting fees.  The Management Agreements typically have a
     term of 10 years and most have specified renewal terms.  The majority of
     the initial terms expire between 1996 and the year 2000.  The Management
     Agreements contain termination provisions that are consistent with hotel
     industry practice and may be terminated by either party due to an uncured
     default by the other party.  One of the Management Agreements is terminable
     at the discretion of the hotel owner and others are terminable if there is
     a material decrease in the hotel operating results or upon sale of the
     property.  Management Agreements may also be terminated upon the sale of
     the managed hotels.  Since January 1, 1991, eight Management Agreements
     have been terminated.

     Effective September 1, 1993, the Company entered into an expense
     reimbursement agreement with Bryanston.  Pursuant to the terms of such
     agreement, the Company will reimburse Bryanston for direct payroll and
     related costs.

     As indicated above, many of the managed hotels are operated as Days Inns by
     arrangement with Bryanston, which is a Days Inns licensee.  The terms of
     Bryanston's license provide for a special, partial exemption from the Days
     Inns license fees for each of the hotels for which the Company provides
     management services.  Each of the managed hotels is charged applicable fees
     for marketing and reservation service, but is exempt from the so-called
     "basic" fee of 5%, which is economically significant to such hotels.  The
     term of the special exemptions is equal to the term of the related
     Management Agreement, including any extensions for which provision is made
     therein, plus a further five-year term (intended to cover a possible future
     extension).  There is no discretion in the licensor, absent breach, to
     eliminate or modify the discount.

     The Company's hotel management operations are organized under a regional
     management structure.  The overall hotel operation is supervised by the
     president of Alpha Hotel.  Regional executives are utilized to oversee and
     monitor the operations.  The Company believes this type of organization,
     coupled with extensive operational systems and procedures, is the most
     effective way to provide management services for the hotels.  In addition
     to the regional managers, the Company has a comprehensive support staff to
     ensure that all of the managed hotels maximize potential revenue and profit
     opportunities.

The Company is seeking additional management contracts directly with hotel 
owners who own properties in appropriate locations, allowing the Company to 
expand and benefit from the limited incremental costs of adding additional 
management activities.

SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS

Sixteen of the hotels for which the Company provides management services are 
owned by five companies.  These five companies accounted for 22.6%, 18.5%, 
17.1%, 17.0% and 12.7% of Alpha Hotel's revenues, respectively, in its most 
recent fiscal year.  The Management Agreements contain termination provisions 
which are consistent with hotel industry practice and may be terminated by 
either party due to an uncured default by the other party. One of the 
management agreements relating to five hotels, which accounted for 17.0% of 
Alpha Hotel's 1995 revenues, was terminated in 1995.  The remaining 
Management Agreements are terminable if there is a material decrease in the 
hotel's operating results and are all terminable on a sale of the property.  
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company entered into Management Agreement 
to manage a hotel in Branson, Missouri.  If additional management agreements 
are not obtained during the remainder of 1996, future revenues of Alpha Hotel 
will be impacted adversely.  In addition, because substantially all of the 
Company's current hotel management clients are sub-contracted through 
Bryanston, any failure on the part of Bryanston to continue its business 
operations or to maintain its Management Agreements would adversely affect 
the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

EMPLOYEES

Although not directly employed by the Company, 1,030 employees engaged in the 
operations of managed hotels are employed by Bryanston and Atlantic Shore 
Resort and supervised by the Company.  Approximately 15% of the 1,030 
Bryanston employees are unionized.  The Company believes that its relations 
with its employees and Bryanston's relations with its unions are satisfactory.

COMPETITION

There are many hotel management companies that provide management services to 
hotels similar to the services provided by the Company.  Many of such 
companies are larger and better capitalized and have more experience in the 
management of hotels.  However, the Company believes that its expertise in 
operating major mid-market hotel licensees, economies of scale, its 
innovative marketing strategies and favorable arrangements between Bryanston 
and the Days Inn licensor will enable it to maintain a competitive position.  
The favorable arrangements with Days Inn extend for the duration of the 
Service Agreement, plus five years, and, absent breach, there is no 
discretion in the licensor to eliminate or to modify the discount.  The 
discount is not available, however, for any hotels other than those hotels 
currently operated by Bryanston, which may inhibit the Company's ability to 
attract additional management clients.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company has been named as an additional defendant in an action 
     brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of 
     Mississippi (Susan E. Wolff, et al v. James C. Zamecnik, et al.  The 
     Plaintiff is seeking $20,000,000.  However, in recent settlement 
     discussions between the Plaintiff and the Company's insurance company, 
     the Plaintiff has offered a settlement of $7,500,000.  The Plaintiff has 
     initiated a declaratory judgment action (Southern Division) against Alpha 
     Gulf and its insurance carriers seeking a determination as to the liability
     of such carriers under the insurance policies issued by the carriers to 
     Alpha Gulf and the Company for any damages found against Alpha Gulf in the
     primary litigation up to the policy limits.  The declaratory judgment 
     action appears to have been brought in response to issues raised by the 
     primary insurance carrier as to timely notice of the incident and possible
     spoilation of evidence. Subsequently, the primary insurance carrier 
     initiated its own declaratory judgment action against Alpha Gulf and the 
     Company (Commerce & Industry Company v. Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc. and Alpha 
     Hospitality Corporation, Inc.:  United States District Court for the 
     Southern District of Mississippi, Jackson Division) seeking a 
     determination that it is not liable under the subject insurance policy. 
     The Company has moved to intervene in the declaratory judgment action 
     brought by the Plaintiff.  In both declaratory judgment actions, Alpha 
     Gulf and the Company are asserting either cross claims or counterclaims 
     against the insurance carriers involved. Alpha Gulf and the Company have 
     also moved to consolidate the two declaratory judgment actions with the 
     Plaintiff's original personal injury action.  The ultimate outcome of this
     litigation cannot presently be determined.  Accordingly, no provision for
     any liability to the Company that may result upon adjudication has been 
     made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Plaintiff
     and the Company's insurance carrier are currently conducting settlement 
     negotiations, although there can be no assurance that a settlement will 
     be reached.

     In January 1996, the Company has been named as a defendant in an action 
     brought in the Circuit Court of Hynds County, Mississippi (Amos vs Alpha 
     Gulf Coast, Inc.; Batiste vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Ducie vs Alpha Gulf 
     Coast, Inc.; Johnson vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Ramez vs Alpha Gulf Coast,
     Inc.). Mr. Amos alleges that in January 16, 1995, a vehicle operated by 
     him collided with a vehicle negligently operated by an individual that was
     served alcoholic beverages by the Company. The defendant seeks compensating
     damages of $1,800,00 and punitive damages of $7,500,000.  The remaining 
     defendants allege that they were passengers in the vehicle operated by Mr.
     Amos and that they suffered personal injuries.  They seek compensating 
     damages of $1,800,000 each and punitive damages of $7,500,000 each.  The 
     ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined.  
     Accordingly, no provision for liability to the Company that may result 
     upon adjudication has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements.  The Company believes that the risk referred to in this 
     paragraph is adequately covered by insurance.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994:

Alpha Gulf generated revenues of $26,835,000 and $43,265,000 in 1995 and 
1994, respectively.  Casino revenues were $25,713, 000 and $41,344,000 in 
1995 and 1994, respectively.   Food, beverage, retail and other revenues were 
$1,122,000 and $1,921,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company 
experienced declining revenues during the year ended December 31, 1995.  In 
management's opinion, this decline is due to the related isolated location of 
its Lakeshore casino site and the increasing casino development in the Biloxi 
and Gulfport markets which have proven more attractive to casino patrons.

Management attempted many different marketing programs, some of which showed 
moderate results.  In September 1995, the Company announced plans to relocate 
the Jubilee Casino to Greenville, Mississippi, upon acquisition of the Cotton 
Club Casino.  This relocation caused the Jubilee Casino to close for four 
weeks, reopening on November 17, 1995 in Greenville.  During its first six 
weeks of operations in Greenville, the Jubilee Casino had casino revenues of 
$5,270,000 compared to $3,787,000 of gaming revenue achieved by its 
predecessors gaming vessel at this site during the same period in 1994.

At the locations referred to above, Alpha Gulf's casino operating expenses 
were $15,009,000 and $19,586,000, (58% and 47% of Casino revenues).  Food, 
beverage, retail and other expenses were $729,000 and $1,223,000, (65% and 
64% of food, beverage, retail and other revenues).  Food and beverage revenue 
does not include the retail value of food and beverage of approximately 
$3,514,000 and $4,884,000 provided gratuitously to customers in 1995 and 
1994, respectively. The reduced casino expenses incurred in 1995 when 
compared to 1994 of $4,577,000 was the results of the following factors, (1) 
reduced gaming taxes of $1,876,000 due to reduced gaming revenue, and (2) 
management's reduction of staffing levels to more closely match the volume of 
business.  The reduction of food, beverage and other costs are directly 
related to the reduced volume of business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consists primarily of payroll 
and related benefits of approximately $4,300,000 and $7,300,000, marketing 
and advertising of approximately $4,200,000 and $6,200,000, and occupancy 
costs of approximately $1,100,000 and $3,500,000 in 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.  The reduced payroll and related costs of $3,000,00 was a 
direct result of management's cost cutting measures instituted during the 
first quarter of 1995. The $2,000,000 reduction in marketing and advertising 
was principally the result of management focusing on marketing programs that 
had previously demonstrated successful results and elimination of 
unsuccessful programs.  The reduction of occupancy costs of $2,400,000 is 
primarily due to the renegotiated terms of the Lakeshore ground lease and 
reduced insurance costs.

Interest expense was primarily related to the first mortgage on the gaming 
vessel, equipment financing and various capitalized leases.

Depreciation and amortization was $4,161,000 and $3,763,000 in 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.

FUTURE OPERATIONS - ALPHA GULF

Alpha Gulf's Bayou Caddy's Jubilee Casino operating results have improved 
since its relocation to Greenville.  During January, February and March of 
1996, the Jubilee Casino obtained gaming revenues of $2,733,000, $3,132,000 
and $3,600,000, respectively.  The gaming revenues achieved to date by the 
Jubilee Casino in Greenville far exceed the revenues of its predecessor 
gaming vessel at that site.  Alpha Gulf's casino operations in Greenville 
have become a major factor in the Greenville market and has helped to expand 
that market.  The Company expects that Alpha Gulf will earn net income before 
taxes and intercompany charges of approximately $9,000,000 for the year 
ending December 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - JUBILATION

The Company acquired the Jubilation gaming vessel on October 26, 1995.  The 
vessels operations in Greenville was terminated on October 30, 1995.  After 
its relocation to Lakeshore, the Jubilation reopened for business on December 
21, 1995.  The following table sets forth the statement of operations for the 
Company's Jubilation casino operations before income taxes for the period 
October 26, 1995 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 1995 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

The Jubilation has experienced a loss of approximately $1,100,000 during the 
first quarter of 1996 before depreciation and intercompany charges.  Due to 
the seasonal nature of business on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, the Company 
anticipates improvement during the quarters ending in June and September 
1996. At this time management is uncertain that the Jubilation can be 
profitable during these quarters.  Management has reduced operating costs and 
is monitoring the operation very closely.  The seasonal nature of the 
Lakeshore site increases the risk that natural disasters or the loss of the 
Jubilation Casino from service for any other reason during the May through 
September period would have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
financial condition.  The Company has had preliminary discussions with 
potential purchasers of the Jubilation Casino. These discussions are ongoing 
and no assurance can be given that such discussions will be successful.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CASINO DEVELOPMENT (SEE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL 
RESOURCES)

Alpha Missouri has not commenced operations.  It has incurred development 
costs of approximately $179,000 in 1995 related to its proposed development 
of a riverboat casino in Louisiana, Missouri.

During 1995, Alpha Rising Sun was not selected to be the casino developer on 
its proposed site in Indiana.  Accordingly, all costs (approximately $914,000 
in 1995) associated with this project has been expensed.

During 1995, Alpha St. Regis (St. Regis) incurred approximately $197,000 of 
costs primarily associated with its participation with the Catskill 
Development LLC to develop a casino adjacent to the Monticello Raceway in 
Sullivan County, New York.  Upon completion of the project, and subject to 
governmental and Tribal approvals, St. Regis will be the operator of the 
casino.  Pursuant to an agreement with Catskill Development LLC, St. Regis 
will receive 50% of all management fees plus certain administrative fees 
related to management of the casino.

In 1994, St. Regis incurred $509,000 in expenses related to a proposed class 
3 casino located on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation in Hogansburg, New York. 
Management does not believe that the project at Hogansburg, New York will go 
forward.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - GENERAL

The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 
"Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach 
to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  At December 31, 1993 
the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,716,000.  During the 
Company's first years of operation, it experienced a volatile and competitive 
market on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi that was not anticipated.  As a 
result, the Company experienced a significant net loss and has established a 
valuation reserve (approximately $12,671,000) equal to the deferred tax asset 
as of December 31, 1995.  (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

In March 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 (SFAS 121), 
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets 
to be Disposed of" was issued.  The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in the first 
quarter of 1996.  The impact on the Company's financial position and results 
of operations is not expected to be material.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Effective as of September 1, 1993, the Company, through its subsidiary Alpha 
Hotel, entered into a Service Agreement with respect to hotels managed by 
Bryanston Group, Inc. Hotel Division.

December 31, 1995 Compared to December 31, 1994:
- ------------------------------------------------

Total management fees increased during the year ended December 31, 1995 
compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 1994 by approximately 
$28,000 (1.0%). The increase was principally the result of increases in the 
hotels' gross revenues on which the management fees are based.  The factors 
that influence such gross revenues are general economic conditions, 
competitive changes in geographic regions, foreign exchange rates relative to 
the strength of U.S. dollar, the price of gasoline, air fares and general 
weather conditions.

Direct payroll and related costs decreased 16.1% to $1,236,000 for the year 
ended December 31, 1995 from $1,474,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. 
The decrease was the result of reduced central office staff due to operating 
efficiencies achieved.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $276,000 for the 
year ended December 31, 1995 from $236,000 for the year ended December 31, 
1994. This increase is a result of travel to the managed hotels by regional 
and corporate management and costs incurred to obtain additional management 
contracts.

In 1995, Alpha Hotel entered into a management agreement for a Sheraton Hotel 
in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina directly with the hotel owner.

December 31, 1994 Compared to December 31, 1993:
- ------------------------------------------------

Total management fees decreased during the year ended December 31, 1994 
compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 1993 by approximately 
$256,000 (8.3%). This was the net result of an increase in management fees of 
$156,000 from the hotels subject to ongoing management agreements, the loss 
of three management agreements during 1993 and one during 1994 (all of which 
related to the hotels) and the addition of a management agreement for a 
property under receivership for the first three months of 1993.  This was 
principally accomplished through increases in the hotels' gross revenues of 
which the management fees are based. The factors that influence such gross 
revenues are general economic conditions, competitive changes in geographic 
regions, foreign exchange rates relative to the strength of U.S. dollar, the 
price of gasoline, air fares and general weather conditions.

Direct payroll and related costs increased 14.1% to $1,473,666 for the year 
ended December 31, 1994 from $1,291,582 for the year ended December 31, 1993. 
The increase was the result of a mid-year increase in salaries and wages of 
3% to 4% for the office personnel.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $235,238 for the 
year ended December 31, 1994 from $549,917 for the year ended December 31, 
1993. This decrease is a result of the office rent allocation, increase in 
reserve for bad debt and travel to the managed hotels by regional and 
corporate management.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On November 5, 1993, the Company completed its public offering for the sale 
of 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share and 750,000 redeemable 
common stock purchase warrants at $.10 per warrant.  On November 18, 1993, 
the underwriter exercised its option to purchase 225,000 shares of the 
Company's stock at $9.00 per share and 112,500 warrants at $.10 per warrant.

In 1995 cash used in operations of $10,334,000 was primarily attributable to 
the net loss of approximately $17,994,000, less depreciation and amortization 
of $4,508,000, common stock issued for services of $1,690,000 and an increase 
in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,527,000.

Net cash flows from operations was approximately $2,396,000 in 1994 which was 
primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization and deferred Income 
tax expense aggregating $5,492,000, an increase in accounts payable and 
accrued expenses of $3,893,000, an increase in accrued payroll and related 
liabilities of $2,431,000, and a reduction of the net loss of approximately 
$9,900,000.

Net cash flows from operations was $1,144,000 in 1993 which was primarily 
attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of 
$7,418,000, reduced by a deferred tax credit of $1,716,000 and the net loss 
of $4,704,000.

The Company has been named as an additional defendant in an action brought in 
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi 
(Susan E. Wolff, et al v. James C. Zamecnik, et al.  The Plaintiff is seeking 
$20,000,000.  However, in recent settlement discussions between the Plaintiff 
and the Company's insurance company, the Plaintiff has offered a settlement 
of $7,500,000.  The Plaintiff has initiated a declaratory judgment action 
(Southern Division) against Alpha Gulf and its insurance carriers seeking a 
determination as to the liability of such carriers under the insurance 
policies issued by the carriers to Alpha Gulf and the Company for any damages 
found against Alpha Gulf in the primary litigation up to the policy limits.  
Subsequent to the initiation of the declaratory judgment action, the 
Company's primary insurance carrier initiated its own declaratory action to 
determine its liability under its insurance policy.  The ultimate outcome of 
this litigation cannot presently be determined.  Accordingly, no provision 
for any liability to the Company that may result upon adjudication has been 
made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Plaintiff 
and the Company's insurance carrier are currently conducting settlement 
negotiations, although there can be no assurance that a settlement will be 
reached (SEE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS).

In January 1996, the Company was named as a defendant in an action brought in 
the Circuit Court of Hynds County, Mississippi (Amos vs Alpha Gulf Coast, 
Inc.; Batiste vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Ducie vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; 
Johnson vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Ramez vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.).  Mr. 
Amos alleges that in January 16, 1995, a vehicle operated by him collided 
with a vehicle negligently operated by an individual that was served 
alcoholic beverages by the Company.  The defendant seeks compensating damages 
of $1,800,00 and punitive damages of $7,500,000.  The remaining defendants 
allege that they were passengers in the vehicle operated by Mr. Amos and that 
they suffered personal injuries.  They seek compensating damages of 
$1,800,000 each and punitive damages of $7,500,000 each.  The ultimate 
outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined.  Accordingly, no 
provision for liability to the Company that may result upon adjudication has 
been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company 
believes that the risk referred to in this paragraph is adequately covered by 
insurance (SEE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS).

The Company is obligated under a $20,000,000 non-revolving promissory note 
($17,360,861 outstanding at December 31, 1995) with Bryanston.  The note, 
which bears interest at prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1995) plus 2%, is 
payable at the lesser of the outstanding principal amount or $2,000,000 per 
annum through December 31, 1999.  All remaining principal and accrued 
interest (approximately $503,000 at December 31, 1995) shall be due December 
31, 2000.  Additionally, commencing May 1, 1996 and for each of the next 
succeeding three years thereafter, the Company will be required to make 
additional principal payments equal to "Available Cash Flow of Maker" as 
defined in the note.  In 1996, Bryanston advanced an additional $1,275,000 to 
the Company.

                                       23

<PAGE>

At December 31, 1995, the Company was in default of (i) its mortgage notes 
payable for non-payment, (ii) the equipment notes aggregating approximately 
$13,432,000 for the breach of several loan covenants and (iii) a capital 
lease of approximately $745,000 for non-payment.  The Company is currently in 
settlement discussions regarding the capitalized lease which, if successful, 
will cure the defaults under this lease.  Certain loans payable aggregating 
approximately $3,655,000 went into default in 1996 due to non-payment.  The 
Company received a waiver of default on the loan payable to Bryanston of 
$2,474,000.

At December 31, 1995, the Company suffered significant losses from operations 
and has a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit.  In addition, the 
Company was not in compliance with certain long-term debts (described above) 
which are included in current liabilities.  These conditions raise 
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 
Management plans include continuing to operate the Greenville Casino 
profitable (SEE FUTURE OPERATIONS - ALPHA GULF), sell certain assets located 
in Lakeshore develop future casino locations in Mississippi and New York (SEE 
DISCUSSION BELOW) and continue to reduce and monitor operating expenses.

ALPHA MISSOURI 

In February 1995, the City of Louisiana, Missouri, designated the Company as 
the city's exclusive designee to enter into negotiations with the city to 
develop a riverboat gaming facility at the city's Mississippi River 
shoreline. Consequently, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Alpha 
Missouri, Inc. ("Alpha Missouri") entered into a lease agreement with the 
City of Louisiana relating to certain City owned river front property 
required for the project.  Except for certain preliminary payments to the 
City, the Company's obligation under the lease are conditioned on the grant a 
gaming license by the Missouri gaming authorities.

Alpha Missouri has submitted to the Missouri gaming authorities the initial 
applications for site approval and a gaming license.  The Missouri Commission 
has notified the Company that, due to scarce resources, it intends to conduct 
meetings with applicants in the first quarter of 1996 in order to determine 
the order of priority in which the Missouri Commission will conduct 
investigations and make determinations on all applications.  Alpha Missouri 
has met with the Missouri Commission to present its project for priority 
consideration.  There are no objective criteria which the Missouri Commission 
is required to follow in making its determinations.

The City of Louisiana is located approximately 60 miles north of metropolitan 
St. Louis and 70 miles from Springfield, Illinois, that state's capital.

The Company anticipates that it will provide a gaming vessel with a capacity 
of approximately 750 gaming positions.  The project cost is presently 
expected to be approximately $20 million.

SAINT REGIS

On January 19, 1995, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding 
with Catskill Development, L.L.C. ("Catskill") pursuant to which Alpha St. 
Regis is to participate in the development of, and thereafter manage, a 
casino to be built adjacent to the Monticello Raceway in Sullivan County, New 
York.  It is intended that the casino will be owned by the St. Regis Mohawk 
Indian Tribe (the "Tribe") and will be located on land to be placed in trust 
for the benefit of the Tribe.  The casino project is subject to approval by 
the U.S. Department of the Interior and its Bureau of Indian Affairs, the 
National Indian Gaming Commission and the Governor of the State of New York, 
as well as the execution of definitive agreements with the Tribe.  It is 
contemplated that the Company will be required to contribute an amount 
preliminarily estimated at $250,000 toward the design, architectural and 
other costs of developing plans for the casino.  Under the memorandum of 
understanding, Catskill and Alpha St. Regis commit to enter into a definitive 
agreement on the terms established in the memorandum, but there can be no 
assurance that such an agreement will ever be consummated.

     CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING MANAGEMENT

     Bryanston Group, Inc. was formerly known as Buckhead Hotel Management
     Company, Inc. ("BHMC"), and prior to February 1, 1992, BHMC was known as
     Days Inns Management Company, Inc.  BHMC was formerly a subsidiary of
     Buckhead America Corp. ("BAC") which, prior to February 1, 1992, was known
     as Days Inn of America, Inc.  Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Thomas W. Aro,
     Brett G. Tollman, Sanford Freedman and James A. Cutler, each directors
     and/or officers of the Company, were officers and/or directors of BAC and
     certain of its subsidiaries.

     On September 27, 1991, BAC, BHMC and certain affiliates and subsidiaries
     thereof filed petitions for protection from creditors under the Bankruptcy
     Code, commencing proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court, in the
     District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court). ("In re Buckhead America
     Corporation, et al., f/k/a Days Inn of America Inc. et al., Debtors"-case
     numbers 91-978 through 91-986.)

     The Plan of Reorganization for BAC and its subsidiaries was filed and
     approved in December 1992 and became effective on December 28, 1992.  Under
     the Plan of Reorganization, BHMC was relieved of certain obligations (and
     assigned certain assets) not related to its business of hotel management.

     Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman and Sanford Freedman are limited partners in and
     directors and officers of the corporate general partner of Pacific Shore
     Associates Limited Partnership ("Pacific Shore").  Messrs. Brett G. Tollman
     and James A. Cutler are officers of the corporate general partner of
     Pacific Shore.  In connection with and in response to a foreclosure
     proceeding instituted by the first deed of trust holder of the hotel owned
     by Pacific Shore, it filed a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code,
     Case No. La-91-81347-KL in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
     Central District of California.  Subsequently, the Bankruptcy Court lifted
     the automatic stay in the proceeding, thereby allowing foreclosure, and
     dismissed the Chapter 11 proceeding.

     Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Brett G. Tollman and Sanford Freedman were
     limited partners of six limited partnerships, each of which was the owner
     of an individual hotel, which filed Chapter 11 proceedings in 1991.  Mr.
     Stanley S. Tollman was the stockholder of the corporate general partners of
     the limited partnerships.  Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Brett G. Tollman,
     Sanford Freedman, James A. Cutler and Howard Zukerman were directors and/or
     officers of such corporate general partners.  The six hotels, together with
     a seventh which is the subject of a pending foreclosure proceeding in the
     state courts of Florida, received mortgage financing from Security Pacific
     Commercial Mortgage Trust VII (the Trust) which was formed for the purpose
     of financing the seven hotels.  The Trust defaulted on its debt obligations
     and Financial Security Assurance (FSA), which had guaranteed the
     obligations of the Trust, proceeded to initiate foreclosure proceedings
     against the seven hotels.  Faced with the threat of foreclosure, the six
     limited partnerships filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

     Kissimmee Lodge, Ltd. ("KLL"), a Florida limited partnership, filed a
     Chapter 11 proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
     District of Florida.   The proceeding was filed to prevent the imminent
     foreclosure of the Days Suites hotel owned by KLL.  Messrs. Stanley S.
     Tollman, Brett G. Tollman and Sanford Freedman hold limited partnership
     interests in KLL and Mr. Stanley S. Tollman is a stockholder of the
     corporate general partner of KLL.  Messrs. Stanley S. Tollman, Howard
     Zukerman and James A. Cutler were directors and or officers of such
     corporate general partner.  The Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the
     Bankruptcy Court and has been declared effective.

     1993 STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The purpose of the 1993 Stock Option Plan is to provide additional
     incentive to the officers and employees of the Company who are primarily
     responsible for the management and growth of the Company.  Each option
     granted pursuant to the 1993 Stock Option Plan shall be designated at the
     time of grant as either an "incentive stock option" or as a "non-qualified
     stock option."  The following description  of the 1993 Stock Option Plan is
     qualified in its entirety by reference to the 1993 Stock Option Plan. 

                                       29

<PAGE>

     ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

     The 1993 Stock Option Plan is administered by a Stock Option Committee
     consisting of Messrs. Freedman and Walker and Ms. Cohen which determines
     whom among those eligible will be granted options, the time or times at
     which options will be granted, the number of shares to be subject to
     options, the durations of options, any conditions to the exercise of
     options and the manner in and price at which options may be exercised. The
     Stock Option Committee is authorized to amend, suspend or terminate the
     1993 Stock Option Plan, except that it cannot without stockholder approval
     (except with regard to adjustments resulting from changes in
     capitalization) (i) increase the maximum number of shares that may be
     issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the 1993 Stock
     Option Plan; (ii) permit the grant of a stock option under the 1993 Stock
     Option Plan with an option price less than 100% of the fair market value of
     the shares at the time such option is granted; (iii) change the eligibility
     requirements for participation in the 1993 Stock Option Plan; (iv) extend
     the term of any option or the period during which any option may be granted
     under the 1993 Stock Option Plan; or (v) decrease an option exercise price
     (although an option may be canceled and new option granted at a lower
     exercise price).  

     SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     The 1993 Stock Option Plan provides that options may be granted with
     respect to a total of 900,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment
     upon certain changes in capitalization without receipt of consideration by
     the Company.  In addition, if the Company is involved in a merger,
     consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, the options granted under the
     1993 Stock Option Plan will be adjusted or, under certain conditions, will
     terminate, subject to the right of each option holder to exercise his
     option or a comparable option substituted at the discretion of the Company
     prior to such event.  If any option expires or terminates for any reason,
     without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject to
     such option will be available again for the purposes of the 1993 Stock
     Option Plan.  All of the 900,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the
     options subject to the 1993 Stock Option Plan are being registered in this
     Registration Statement.

     PARTICIPATION

     Any employee is eligible to receive incentive stock options or
     non-qualified stock options granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan. 
     Non-employee directors may not receive stock options.

     OPTION PRICE

     The exercise price of each option will be determined by the Stock Option
     Committee, or the Board of Directors until such committee is constituted,
     but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of
     Common Stock covered by the option on the date the option is granted.  If
     an incentive stock option is to be granted to an employee who owns over 10%
     of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company's stock,
     then the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value
     of the Common Stock covered by the option on the date the option is
     granted.

                                       30

<PAGE>

     TERMS OF OPTIONS

     The Stock Option Committee, or the Board of Directors until such committee
     is constituted, shall, in its discretion, fix the term of each option,
     provided that the maximum term of each option shall be 10 years.  Incentive
     stock options granted to an employee who owns over 10% of the total
     combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company shall expire
     not more than five years after the date of grant.  The 1993 Stock Option
     Plan provides for the earlier expiration of options of a participant in the
     event of certain terminations of employment.

     RESTRICTIONS ON GRANT AND EXERCISE

     An option may not be transferred other than by will or the laws of descent
     and distribution and, during the lifetime of the option holder, may be
     exercised solely by him.  The aggregate fair market value (determined at
     the time the option is granted) of the shares as to which an employee may
     first exercise incentive stock options in any one calendar year may not
     exceed $100,000. The Stock Option Committee, or the Board of Directors
     until such committee is constituted, may impose other conditions to
     exercise as it deems appropriate.

     OPTION GRANTS

     There were no options granted to either of the named executive officers in
     the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.  Options to purchase 384,500
     shares of Common Stock have been granted to employees to date.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


     BAYOU CADDY ACQUISITION

     Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of May 14, 1993 among
     Alpha Gulf, Bayou Caddy Inc. ("BCI") and certain BCI stockholders, the
     Company (through Alpha Gulf) acquired certain of the assets of BCI,
     including BCI's leasehold interests under certain lease agreements, certain
     other assets incidental to the development and ownership of the Greenville
     Casino (formerly located at Lakeshore) and BCI's interest in certain
     related license applications, approvals and permits.  As part of the
     purchase, the Company assumed liabilities aggregating approximately
     $1,100,000.  The purchase price was $3,500,000, which was evidenced by a
     convertible promissory note that bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum
     (the BCI Note).  Effective February 1, 1994 the Company notified BCI of its
     election to convert the note into 791,880 shares of the Company's
     outstanding stock that will be contributed by Bryanston, a former principal
     shareholder of the Company's Common Stock.  Bryanston has delivered the
     shares to the Company and the Company is currently holding such shares as
     treasury stock until the effective date of the Registration Statement of
     which this Prospectus is a part, at which time the Company shall issue such
     shares to BCI.

     BRYANSTON

     Effective as of September 1, 1993, Bryanston entered into the Service
     Agreement with the Company.  The Service Agreement, which is co-terminus
     with the last to expire of the Bryanston Management Agreements, states that
     the Company will provide certain management services for hotels managed by
     Bryanston for certain unaffiliated owners.  Pursuant to the Service
     Agreement, Bryanston receives a fee of 1% of the aggregate compensation
     paid to the Company pursuant to the Management Agreements.  The Bryanston
     Hotel Division is the provider of direct services to all managed hotels
     pursuant to the Management Agreements with the individual hotels.  Through
     its subsidiary Alpha Hotel Management Company, Inc., the Company provides
     all management, financial, administrative and marketing services on behalf
     of Bryanston as manager of the managed hotels.

     Bryanston contributed $626,404 to the equity of the Company and advanced
     $4,009,740, representing the proceeds of the Bryanston loan (the "Bryanston
     Loan"), which was applied to the development and construction of the
     Casino.  The Bryanston Loan currently bears interest at 12% per annum and
     payment is subordinated to payment of the a term loan ("Term Loan") secured
     by first preferred ship mortgage on Alpha Gulf's gaming vessel, which Term
     Loan is presently held by Bryanston, except that principal and accrued
     interest in the aggregate amount of $1,012,500 was repaid from the proceeds
     of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO") and principal and
     accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $1,206,355 was repaid from the
     proceeds of the underwriters' over-allotment option exercised in connection
     with the IPO.  The balance of the Bryanston Loan accrues interest at the
     rate of 12% per annum, which accrued until the second anniversary of the
     opening of the Bayou Caddy Jubilee Casino (originally in Lakeshore and
     subsequently moved to Greenville), and thereafter, together with such
     accrued interest amount, at the rate of 9% per annum, payable quarterly in
     equal installments over a 10-year period, and will be prepaid pro rata with
     the BP Loan (see discussion below), from the proceeds of the exercise, if
     any, of the Company's outstanding warrants and the HFS Options (referred to
     below), provided the Company is current under the Term Loan.  In exchange
     for the foregoing capital contribution and the transfer of the rights to
     provide the management services, the Company issued an aggregate of
     3,564,987 shares of Common Stock to Bryanston, all of which shares
     Bryanston subsequently transferred.  Bryanston is an affiliate of the
     Company, Mrs. Beatrice Tollman is a 50% stockholder of Bryanston.

                                       34

<PAGE>

     Bryanston also advanced a bridge loan (the "Bryanston Bridge Loan"), in the
     aggregate amount of $7,419,000, which was also applied to the development
     and construction of the Casino.  The Bryanston Bridge Loan bore interest at
     the rate of 10% per annum from the date advanced and was originally due and
     payable on the earlier of October 31, 1993 or the closing of the IPO.  A
     portion of the principal and accrued interest on the Bryanston Bridge Loan,
     in the aggregate amount of $3,625,000, was repaid from the proceeds of the
     Term Loan and the HFS Bridge Loan (which was repaid from the proceeds of
     the IPO), and the balance was repaid from the proceeds of the IPO.

     On December 31, 1994 the Company authorized the issuance of 625,222 shares
     of its preferred stock in settlement of $8,284,196 due Bryanston, which
     amount includes approximately $349,000 of accrued interest.

     As of January 5, 1995, Bryanston agreed to loan the Company up to
     $20,000,000 to meet the working capital requirements of the Company. 
     Therefore, the Company is obligated under a $20,000,000 non-revolving
     promissory note ($17,360,861 outstanding at December 31, 1995).  The note,
     which bears interest at prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1995) plus 2%, is
     payable at the lesser of the outstanding principal amount or $2,000,000 per
     annum through December 31, 1999.  All remaining principal and accrued
     interest (approximately $503,000 at December 31, 1995) shall be due
     December 31, 2000.  Additionally, commencing May 1, 1996 and for each of
     the next succeeding three years thereafter, the Company will be required to
     make additional principal payments equal to "Available Cash Flow of Maker"
     as defined in the note.

     On September 22, 1995, Bryanston purchased an outstanding loan having a
     balance of $7,816,000 from HFS Gaming Corp..  There is presently $7,800,000
     due on such loan.  In connection with the purchase, Bryanston also acquired
     96,429 shares of Common Stock owned by an affiliate of HFS.

     347,826 shares of Common Stock are to be issued to Bryanston in
     consideration of financial advisory services rendered.  In addition, an
     option to purchase 347,826 shares of common stock was given to Bryanston at
     an exercisable price of $4.50.

     As of November 1, 1995, Bryanston had sold all of the common shares of the
     Company it had previously held.

     BP GROUP

     BP Group, Ltd. (BP), a Corporation wholly-owned by Ms. Patricia Cohen, a
     director of the Company, advanced $1,927,759 to the Company, representing
     the proceeds of the BP loan (the "BP Loan").  The BP Loan bears interest at
     the rate of 12% per annum and payment is subordinated to payment of the
     Term Loan.  Principal and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of
     $487,500 was repaid from the proceeds of the Company's IPO and principal
     and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $575,560 was repaid from
     the proceeds of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The balance of the
     BP Loan, $864,699, bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, which shall
     accrue until the second anniversary of the opening of the Bayou Caddy
     Jubilee Casino (originally in Lakeshore), and thereafter, together with
     such accrued interest, at the rate of 9% per annum, payable quarterly in
     equal installments over a 10-year period, and will be prepaid, pro rata
     with the Bryanston Loan, from the proceeds of the exercise, if any, of the
     Company's outstanding warrants and the HFS Options, provided the Company is
     current under the Term Loan.

                                       35

<PAGE>

     BP also advanced a bridge loan (the "BP Bridge Loan") in the amount of
     $2,200,000, which was applied to the development of the Casino.  The BP
     Bridge Loan bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date
     advanced and was originally due and payable on the earlier of October 31,
     1993 or the closing of the Offering.  The BP Bridge Loan was repaid in
     full, from the proceeds of the Term Loan and the HFS Bridge Loan, which was
     repaid by the Company from the proceeds of the IPO.

     Ms. Cohen, a director of the Company and the sole stockholder of BP, has
     contributed $511,961 to the capital of the Company for which she was issued
     1,544,182 shares of Common Stock.

     Ms. Cohen was also a principal stockholder of Westfield Financial
     Corporation, one of the underwriters of the Company's IPO.  Westfield
     Financial Corporation is no longer operating as a broker-dealer.

     All current transactions between the Company, and its officers, directors
     and principal stockholders or any affiliates thereof are, and in the future
     such transactions will be, on terms no less favorable to the Company than
     could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Alpha Hospitality Corporation and Subsidiaries
New York, New York


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alpha 
Hospitality Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and 
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and 
cash flows for the years then ended and the period March 19, 1993 (date of 
inception) to December 31, 1993.  These consolidated financial statements are 
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management,  as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alpha 
Hospitality Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and 
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended 
and the period March 19, 1993 (date of inception) to December 31, 1993, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in 
Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant 
losses from operations and has a working capital deficit and an accumulated 
deficit at December 31, 1995.  In addition, the Company was not in compliance 
with certain long-term debt which is included in current liabilities.  
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 14.  
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to 
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not 
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this 
uncertainty.

                                       F-1

<PAGE>

As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company 
is a defendant in lawsuits involving automobile accidents, wherein plaintiffs 
are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.  The ultimate outcome of such 
litigation cannot presently be determined.  Accordingly, no provision for any 
liability that may result upon adjudication has been made in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The financial statement schedule 
listed on Page S-1 is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities 
and Exchange Commissions's rules and is not part of the basic financial 
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures 
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, 
fairly states, in all material respects, the financial data required to be 
set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a 
whole.

                         ALPHA HOSPITALITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -  NATURE OF BUSINESS:

     Alpha Hospitality Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) was
     incorporated in Delaware on March 19, 1993 and has adopted a December year
     end.  The Company owns and operates dockside casinos located in Lakeshore
     and Greenville, Mississippi.  In addition, the Company provides services
     for the management of hotels and motels located nation-wide.

NOTE 2 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - In 1993, the Company formed
     three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc. (Alpha Gulf), which
     commenced operations in January 1994 to own and operate the Lakeshore
     casino (SEE NOTE 3), Alpha Hotel Management Company, Inc. (Alpha Hotel),
     which commenced operations in September 1993 to provide hotel management
     services, and Alpha Rising Sun, Inc. (Alpha Rising Sun), which has not
     commenced operations.  In 1994 and 1995, the Company formed Alpha St.
     Regis, Inc. (St. Regis) and Alpha Missouri, Inc. (Missouri), wholly-owned
     subsidiaries, respectively, which both have not commenced operations. 
     Additionally, the Company acquired Cotton Club of Greenville, Inc.
     (subsequently renamed Jubilation Lakeshore, Inc. (Lakeshore) (SEE NOTE 3))
     in November 1995, which owned and operated a casino located in Greenville,
     Mississippi.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All
     intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

     CASH - The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which,
     at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not
     incurred any losses in such accounts.  The Company believes it is not
     exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories, which primarily consist of food and beverage and
     uniforms, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
     determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is stated at cost, less
     accumulated depreciation and amortization.  The Company provides for
     depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the
     following estimated useful lives:

                                                        ESTIMATED
                   ASSETS                              USEFUL LIVES
                   ------                              ------------
          Barge and improvements                           20 years
          Leasehold and improvements                    10-20 years
          Gaming equipment                                5-7 years
          Furniture, fixtures and equipment               5-7 years
          Transportation equipment                          3 years

     PRE-OPENING AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS - The Company incurs start-up costs in
     connection with start-up casino operations and joint ventures.  The
     Company's policy is to expense pre-opening and development costs as
     incurred.

                                      F-8

                           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

     LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - Loss per common share is based on the weighted
     average number of common shares outstanding.  In 1993, weighted average
     common shares outstanding include 8,500,000 shares issued within one year
     of the Company's initial public offering (IPO), with an issue price less
     than the IPO price.  The Company's common stock subscribed is included in
     the computation and the outstanding stock options and warrants are excluded
     from the computation since they would have an antidilutive effect on loss
     per common share.  All references to the number of shares and per share
     amounts have been adjusted for the stock split (NOTE 10).

     INCOME TAXES - The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires
     an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for
     income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed
     annually for differences between financial statement and tax basis of
     assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible
     amounts, and based on enacted tax laws and rates to the periods in which
     the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation
     allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to
     the amount expected to be realized.

     The Company does not provide for deferred taxes on the unremitted earnings
     of its wholly-owned subsidiaries since, under existing tax laws, its
     investment could be liquidated tax-free.  As a result, any excess outside
     financial basis over tax basis will not be expected to result in taxable
     income upon reversal and thus will not be a temporary difference.

     CASINO REVENUE - Casino revenue is the net win from gaming activities,
     which is the difference between gaming wins and losses.

     PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES - Promotional allowances primarily consist of food
     and beverage furnished gratuitously to customers.  Revenues do not include
     the retail amount of food and beverage of approximately $3,514,000 and
     $4,884,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, provided gratuitously to
     customers.  The cost of these items of $4,308,000 and $5,138,000 in 1995
     and 1994, respectively, are included primarily in casino and selling,
     general and administrative expenses.

     AMORTIZATION OF DEBT DISCOUNT - The Company amortizes the debt discount on
     the mortgage note using the interest method, which yields a constant rate
     of interest over the life of the note (NOTE 6).

     INTEREST CAPITALIZATION - Interest costs incurred during the construction
     and development of the dockside casino and related facilities is
     capitalized as part of the cost of such assets.

     LOAN FEES - Loan fees included in other assets are being amortized over the
     life of the equipment notes payable.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amounts of the Company's
     assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under SFAS
     No. 107 approximate their fair values at December 31, 1995.

                           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

     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. 

     NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD - In March 1995, Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standard No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of
     Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" was issued. 
     The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996.  The impact
     on the Company's financial position and results of operations is not
     expected to be material.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts have been reclassified in 1994 to
     conform to the 1995 presentation.

NOTE 3 -  BUSINESS COMBINATION:

     Effective October 30, 1995, the Company acquired all  of the outstanding
     stock of Cotton Club of Greenville, Inc. ("CCG"), the owner and operator of
     a dockside gaming casino in Greenville, Mississippi in a business
     combination accounted for as a purchase.  Accordingly, the results of
     operations of CCG are included in the accompanying financial statements
     from the date of acquisition.  In addition to its dockside gaming vessel,
     CCG owned interests in certain real estate in Greenville, which was
     primarily used for automobile parking, and certain rights granted by the
     City of Greenville and the Greenville Yacht Club to locate its vessel at
     its present site on Lake Ferguson which is an inlet of the Mississippi
     River.

     The stock was acquired from a group of sixteen stockholders (former CCG
     stockholders) none of whom had any material relationship to the Company or
     any of its affiliates, directors or officers.

     Consideration for the acquisition consisted of: (a) cash at closing of
     $2,404,148; (b) notes due six months after closing of $1,396,510, bearing
     interest at 10% per annum; (c) notes due nine months after closing of
     $1,896,510, bearing interest at 10% per annum; and (d) 782,609 shares of
     the common stock of the Company valued at $5.75 per share.  The cash paid
     at the closing was borrowed by the Company from Bryanston Group, Inc.
     (Bryanston), an affiliate.

     As part of the acquisition, all debt and accrued interest owed by CCG to
     its former stockholders, of approximately $9,600,000, is included in the
     consideration above and has been assigned to the Company.

     Subsequent to the sale and pursuant to approvals granted by the Mississippi
     Gaming Commission, certain lenders to CCG and to Alpha Gulf, Alpha Gulf
     transferred its casino gaming barge and its related operations to the CCG
     site in Greenville, Mississippi, and CCG transferred its riverboat casino
     to Alpha Gulf's former site at Lakeshore, Mississippi on the Gulf Coast. 
     The casinos commenced operations at their new sites in November and
     December 1995.

     The excess of the purchase price over the net assets of CCG of
     approximately $3,043,000 was allocated to property and equipment and will
     be depreciated and amortized over the estimated remaining useful lives of
     the assets.

     The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what
     actually would have occurred if the CCG acquistion had been in effect for
     the periods presented.  Further, the pro forma results are not intended to
     be a projection of future results and do not reflect any integration costs,
     cost savings resulting from synergistic opportunitires or the results of
     operations of other business acquired or disposed of in 1995 and 1994.

     The above amounts reflect adjustments for interest on notes payable issued
     as part of the purchase price and depreciation and amortization on revalued
     property and equipment.

NOTE 5 -  LEASEHOLD INTEREST:

     On May 14, 1993, in connection with the development of a dockside casino in
     Lakeshore, Mississippi, Alpha Gulf acquired from an unrelated third party
     (Seller), a leasehold interest (the leasehold) and certain other assets,
     net of assumption of certain liabilities.  The net purchase price was
     $3,500,000 and the Company issued a convertible promissory note with a
     stated interest rate of 10% and an effective rate of 30%.  The difference
     in the interest rates represents the implicit economic risks inherent in
     the transaction.  In addition, the Company charged approximately $350,000,
     resulting from the settlement of assumed liabilities, to operations in
     connection with the acquisition of the leasehold.

     Effective February 1, 1994, the Company exercised its right to convert the
     Seller's note and accrued interest (carrying amount of $2,882,926) to
     791,880 shares of its outstanding common stock, of which 716,880 shares
     were contributed to the Company by a stockholder and the additional 75,000
     shares will be issued in 1996.

NOTE 6 -  NOTES PAYABLE:

     Notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are comprised of the following:

     In August 1995, Bryanston purchased the mortgage on the Lakeshore barge
     from HFS for $7,816,667.  This transaction resulted in a write-off on the
     unamortized discount on the original note of approximately $930,000.  In
     connection with agreement, Bryanston also acquired 96,429 shares of common
     stock owned by HFS (NOTE 13).

NOTE 7  - LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED):

     At December 31, 1995, the Company was in default of (i) its mortgage notes
     payable for non-payment, (ii) the equipment notes aggregating approximately
     $13,432,000 for the breach of several loan covenants and (iii) a capital
     lease of approximately $745,000 for non-payment.  Certain loans payable
     aggregating approximately $3,655,000 went into default in 1996 due to non-
     payment.  The Company received a waiver on the default with the loan
     payable to Bryanston (NOTE 15).  Accordingly, the mortgage notes payable
     ($11,356,000), equipment notes payable ($13,432,000), capital lease
     ($745,000) and a certain loan payable ($1,181,000) are reflected in current
     liabilities at December 31, 1995.

     At December 31, 1994, the Company was not in compliance with several
     covenants under its lakeshore mortgage note payable for the encumbrance of
     the Company's barge, and for the default in payment of a capital lease. 
     The Company had not received a notice of default under this capital lease,
     and believed that it will be able to cure the default within the permitted
     grace period.  The default under the mortgage note payable resulted in a
     cross-default of a certain equipment note.  Accordingly, both the mortgage
     note ($6,722,000) and the equipment note ($1,102,000) were reflected in
     current liabilities at December 31, 1994.

     Effective October 15, 1995, the Company restructured certain equipment
     notes, aggregating approximately $9,000,000, with unrelated parties. 
     Pursuant to the restructuring requirements, the Company will repay
     approximately $6,500,000 in 48 monthly installments of $166,000, which
     includes interest of 10% per annum, commencing December 15, 1995.  The
     balance of $2,500,000 bears interest at 10% per annum, is due on November
     15, 1999, and may either be partially or fully repaid, pursuant to an
     escrow agreement, from the net proceeds from the sale of approximately
     701,017 shares of the Company's common stock held in escrow.  To the extent
     that the net proceeds exceeds $2,500,000 plus accrued interest, the excess
     will be applied to the $6,500,000 portion of the debt.  However, if the net
     proceeds are less than the $2,500,000 plus accrued interest, then the
     Company will be required to remit the balance due at maturity.  The escrow
     agreement provides for the unrelated party to have full voting rights
     pertaining to the escrowed shares and the right to sell any or all of the
     shares.  The Company has the right of first refusal to purchase the shares
     that the unrelated party desires to sell.  The debt is collateralized by
     the Company's barge and certain gaming equipment.

     Effective October 24, 1995, the Company restructured a certain equipment
     note of approximately $800,000 with an unrelated party.  The amended terms
     call for 36 monthly installments of $26,000, which includes interest at
     11.5% per annum, commencing November 24, 1995.

NOTE  9 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

          Effective September 1, 1993, Alpha Hotel entered into a Service 
          Agreement and an Expense Reimbursement Agreement with Bryanston.  
          Under the Service Agreement, Alpha Hotel supplies services for the 
          management of hotels and motels.  Service fees are generated based 
          upon a percentage of hotel and motel revenues, as defined in the 
          respective agreements.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994 Alpha Hotel 
          managed 14 and 20 hotels and motels, respectively.  Pursuant to the 
          terms of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, the Company will 
          reimburse Bryanston, as the case may be, for direct payroll and 
          related costs for use of certain office space (approximately $15,000 
          per month) and its share of office expenses.  

          In 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with HFS, under 
          which HFS will provide marketing services.  The agreement was for 
          ten years and could be canceled by the Company after five years.  
          Prior to the finding of suitability of HFS by the Mississippi 
          Gaming Commission, the marketing fees were set at $162,834 per month.
          In June 1994, the Mississippi Gaming Commission found HFS 
          suitable and the marketing fees were changed to the greater of 3% 
          of Alpha Gulf's Gaming Revenue or $1,650,000 per year, computed 
          monthly, commencing July 1, 1994.  On September 22, 1995, the 
          Company arranged for the termination of the marketing agreement.  
          The funds required to terminate this agreement ($1,500,000) and to 
          pay amounts due under the agreement through the date of the 
          termination were paid by Bryanston.  Marketing services incurred 
          under this agreement were $564,000 and $1,665,000 for the years 
          ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  

          The Company is obligated under a $20,000,000 non-revolving

NOTE  9 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
          (CONTINUED):

          The Company is obligated under three property leases at their 
          dockside casino located in Lakeshore, Mississippi.  Two of these 
          leases provide for changes in the minimum annual rent based on the 
          Consumer Price Index.  One of the leases provides for percentage 
          rent of up to 6% of gross gaming revenue, as defined in the 
          agreement.  The leases expire between the years 2001 and 2003 and 
          two of the leases have renewal options for two additional five year 
          terms.  The Company has options to purchase the leased properties 
          for an amount not to exceed $10,200,000.  Rent expense for 1995, 
          1994 and the period March 19, 1993 (date of inception) to December 
          31, 1993 approximated $576,000 (which has been reduced by 
          approximately $500,000 as a result of renegotiated terms of the 
          lease), $2,030,000 and $100,000, respectively.  

          On October 13, 1995, the Company amended its ground lease at 
          Lakeshore, Mississippi.  The amended lease provides for rent of up 
          to 4.5% of gross gaming revenue, as defined in the agreement, for 
          the Company's vessel located on that leased property in Lakeshore, 
          Mississippi and one quarter of one (0.25%) of gross gaming revenues 
          of the Company's vessel which originally operated in Lakeshore, 
          Mississippi, with a minimum annual rental of $800,000 per annum 
          through March 31, 2000 and $950,000 per annum until the termination 
          date of July 31, 2011.  

          Effective January 1, 1994, the Company entered into a tideland 
          lease which provides for an initial term of ten years expiring on 
          December 31, 2003.  Subject to certain conditions, the Company has 
          the option to renew the lease for an additional five year term.  
          Rent expense in 1995 and 1994 was $200,000 under this lease.  In 
          September 1995, the charter and lease agreement was extended on a 
          month to month basis at the same terms.

          The Company entered into a charter and lease agreement in September 
          1994 with Bryanston Marine, Inc., a related party, to charter a 
          vessel to be used for dining.  The agreement provides for monthly 
          rent of $9,250, expired in September 1995 and had a purchase option 
          of $800,000 which expired July 1995.  In September 1995, the 
          charter and lease agreement was extended on a month to month basis at
          the same terms.

          Approximate future aggregate minimum annual rental payments under 
          these leases are as follows:

              Year ending December 31:
                      1996                               $  2,092,000

NOTE  9 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
          (CONTINUED):

          On January 19, 1995, the Company, through its subsidiary, St. Regis,
          entered into a memorandum of understanding with Catskill Development,
          L.L.C. ("Catskill") pursuant to which St. Regis is to participate in 
          the development of, and thereafter manage, a casino to be built 
          adjacent to the Monticello Raceway in Sullivan County, New York.  
          It is intended that the casino will be owned by the St. Regis 
          Mohawk Indican Tribe (the "Tribe") and will be located on land to 
          be placed in trust for the benefit of the Tribe.  The casino 
          project is subject to approval by the U.S. Department of Interior, 
          the National Indian Gaming Commission and the State of New York, as 
          well as the execution of definitive agreements with the Tribe.  It 
          is contemplated that the Company will be required to contribute an 
          amount preliminarily estimated at $250,000 toward the design, 
          architectural and other costs of development plans for the casino.  
          Under the memorandum of understanding, Catskill and St. Regis 
          commit to enter into a definitive agreement on the terms 
          established in the memorandum, but there can be no assurance that 
          such an agreement will ever be consummated.  Bryanston is a 25% 
          member of Catskill.  

          The Company is obligated under a three year employment contract with 
          a principal stockholder/officer.  Under this agreement, the Company 
          will accrue deferred compensation of $250,000 per year.  In the event
          of termination of employment, the terminated officer will be retained
          to provide consulting services for two years at $175,000 per annum.

          In accordance with Mississippi law, the Company's casino licenses 
          have initial terms of two years and will be subject to periodic 
          renewal. In October 1995, the Company received renewals of their 
          casino licenses through October 1997.  Failure to retain the licenses
          could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

NOTE  9 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
          (CONTINUED):

          The Company has been named as an additional defendant in an action 
          brought in the United States District Court for the Southern 
          District of Mississippi (Susan E. Wolff, et al v. James C. Zamecnik, 
          et al.)  The Plaintiff is seeking $20,000,000.  However, in recent 
          settlement discussions between the Plaintiff and the Company's 
          insurance company, the Plaintiff has offered a settlement of 
          $7,500,000.  The Plaintiff has initiated a declaratory judgment 
          action (Southern Division) against Alpha Gulf and its insurance 
          carriers seeking a determination as to the liability of such 
          carriers under the insurance policies issued by the carriers to 
          Alpha Gulf and the Company for any damages found against Alpha 
          Gulf in the primary litigation up to the policy limits.  
          Subsequent to the initiation of the declaratory judgment action, 
          the Company's primary insurance carrier initiated its own 
          ceclaratory action to determine its liability under its insurance 
          policy.  The declaratory judgment action appears to have been 
          brought in response to issues raised by the primary insurance 
          carrier as to timely notice of the incident and possible 
          spoilation of evidence.  Subsequently, the primary insurance 
          carrier initiated its own declaratory judgment action against 
          Alpha Gulf and the Company (Commerce & Industry Company v. Alpha 
          Gulf Coast, Inc. and Alpha Hospitality Corporation, Inc.:  United 
          States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, 
          Jackson Division) seeking a determination that it is not liable 
          under the subject insurance policy.  The Company has moved to 
          intervene in the declaratory judgment action brought by the 
          Plaintiff.  In both declaratory judgment actions, Alpha Gulf and 
          the Company are asserting either cross claims or counterclaims 
          against the insurance carriers involved.  Alpha Gulf and the 
          Company have also moved to consolidate the two declaratory 
          judgment actions with the Plaintiff's original personal injury 
          action.  The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently 
          be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability to the 
          Company that may result upon adjudication has been made in the 
          accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Plaintiff and 
          the Company's insurance carrier are currently conducting 
          settlement negotiations, although there can be no assurance that a 
          settlement will be reached.An unfavorable outcome of this matter 
          will result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial 
          position and results of operations.

          In January 1996, the Company has been named as a defendant in an 
          action brought in the Circuit Court of Hynds County, Mississippi 
          (Amos vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Batiste vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; 
          Ducie vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; Johnson vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.; 
          Ramez vs Alpha Gulf Coast, Inc.).  Mr. Amos alleges that on January 
          16, 1995, a vehicle operated by him collided with a vehicle 
          negligently operated by an individual that was served alcoholic 
          beverages by the Company.  The defendant seeks compensating damages 
          of $1,800,00 and punitive damages of $7,500,000.  The remaining 
          defendants allege that they were passengers in the vehicle operated 
          by Mr. Amos and that they suffered personal injuries.  They seek 
          compensating damages of $1,800,000 each and punitive damages of 
          $7,500,000 each.  The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot 
          presently be determined.  Accordingly, no provision for liability 
          to the Company that may result upon adjudication has been made in 
          the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company 
          believes that the risk referred to in this paragraph is adequately 
          covered by insurance and, therefore, will not have a material adverse
          effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

          The Company is a party to various other legal actions which arise in 
          the normal course of business.  In the opinion of the Company's 
          management, the resolution of these other matters will not have a 
          material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

NOTE 12 -      SEGMENT INFORMATION:

     The Company's two business segments are operating casinos in Lakeshore and
     Greenville, Mississippi and hotel management services to hotels located in
     the United States.  The following financial data is presented for the
     business segments of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1995,
     1994 and 1993 (includes eight months of the Company's predecessor,
     Bryanston).  Operating profit (loss) by segment is total revenue less
     operating expenses.  In computing operating profit (loss) by business
     segment, none of the following items have been added or deducted:  interest
     income (expense), pre-opening expenses, income taxes and unusual items. 
     Identifiable assets by business segment are those assets used in Company
     operations in each segment.  Corporate assets are included in casino
     identifiable assets because they are principally utilized in casino
     operations.  Capital expenditures include acquisitions of property and
     equipment.

                                                                     Hotel

NOTE 12 - SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED):

     (4)  The Company had five major customers in the hotel operations segment
          which accounted for 23%, 19%, 17%, 17% and 13% of revenue,
          respectively, in 1995.

     (5)  Includes $19,963 of capital expenditures relating to the acquisition
          of CCG (NOTE 3).

NOTE 13 - MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK:

     In November 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with HFS to settle
     approximately $559,000 owed pursuant to the marketing agreement (NOTE 9) by
     issuing 96,429 shares of its common stock.  HFS was given a put option
     which is exercisable during the thirty day period commencing one year from
     the date of the agreement at $6.50 per share.  The common stock was
     recorded at its fair value at the issuance date ($5.80 per share).  The
     carrying amount was periodically increased for the amount which will be
     payable upon redemption.  The accretion to the carrying amount ($50,805 and
     $5,625 in 1995 and 1994, respectively) was determined using the straight-
     line method (which did not materially differ from the interest method) and
     resulted in a corresponding decrease to capital in excess of par value.  In
     October 1995, HFS exercised their put option, purchased 96,429 shares of
     common stock for approximately $616,000, and subsequently sold the shares
     to Bryanston.

NOTE 14 - CONTINUING OPERATIONS:

     The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
     continue as a going concern.  The Company has suffered significant losses
     from operations and has a working capital deficit of $39,993,555 and an
     accumulated deficit of $32,598,881 at December 31, 1995.

     Management of the Company recognizes that these conditions raise
     substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
     concern.  Management's plans include continuing to operate the Greenville
     Casino profitably, sell certain assets located in Lakeshore, develop future
     casino locations in Missouri and New York, and continue to reduce and
     monitor operating expenses.  Accordingly, the Company's ability to continue
     as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop working
     capital, attain future profitable operations and meet its creditors'
     demands.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
     might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

     As of March 29, 1996, Bryanston has advanced approximately $1,275,000 to
     the Company pursuant to a non-revolving promissory note effective January
     5, 1995 (NOTE 9).

     On March 29, 1996, the Company received a waiver of default on the
     Bryanston note payable of $2,474,000.  The waiver provides for the Company
     to cure the default by March 31, 1997.

NOTE 1 -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     On May 17, 1993, Buckhead Hotel Management Company, Inc. (Buckhead) changed
     its name to Bryanston Group, Inc. (Bryanston).

     Effective September 1, 1993, Bryanston entered into a Service Agreement and
     an Expense Reimbursement Agreement with Alpha Hotel Management Company,
     Inc., (Alpha Hotel), a related party, whereby Alpha Hotel will supply
     services for the management of 21 hotels and motels (the Business) (NOTE
     7).  Tollman Hundley Hotel Group is also a party to the Expense
     Reimbursement Agreement.  Service fees are generated based upon a
     percentage of hotel and motel revenues, as defined in the respective
     agreements.  Pursuant to the terms of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement,
     Bryanston and Tollman Hundley Hotel Group, as the base may be, will be
     reimbursed by Alpha Hotel for direct payroll and related costs, use of
     certain office space (approximately $15,000 per month), and its share of
     office expenses.

     results of the Business.

     property revenues, as defined in the respective management agreements, and
     range between 2% and 5%.  In addition, certain agreements provide for
     incentive fees which can be earned based on operating results.  During the
