NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The Company's unaudited  pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as
     of August 31, 1997 gives effect to the sale by the Company of its 40% 
     equity interest in the outstanding capital stock of HRHC and the buyout of
     the Company's management agreement, under which the Company managed the 
     Hard Rock Hotel and Casino ( the 'HRHC Transaction'), as though the HRHC 
     Transaction had taken place on August 31, 1997.  The Company's unaudited 
     pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the nine months 
     ended August 31, 1997 and the year ended November 30, 1996 give effect to 
     the HRHC Transaction as though it had taken place on December 1, 1995. 

2.   The gross proceeds, had the HRHC Transaction taken place on August 31, 
     1997, would have included $45.0 million cash for the capital stock and the
     Company's rights under the management agreement and approximately $1.3 
     million cash in satisfaction of a note and other amounts due the Company 
     from HRHC as of August 31, 1997.  The Company's unaudited pro forma 
     condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 1997 includes (a)
     the estimated net proceeds from the HRHC Transaction, and the use thereof,
     and (b) the estimated increase in retained earnings as a result of the 
     after tax gain on the HRHC Transaction, each calculated as follows 
    (dollars in thousands):

3.   Net income per common share and net income per common share before 
     extraordinary item are computed based on the weighted average number of 
     shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding 
     during the period. Fully diluted per share amounts are the same as primary
     per share amounts for all periods presented.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

4.   The adjustments to the Company's unaudited pro forma condensed 
     consolidated  statements of income for the nine months ended August 31, 
     1997 and the year ended November 30,1996 include (a) the reduction in 
     interest expense to reflect the use of the estimated net proceeds, that 
     would have been received from the HRHC Transaction if the HRHC Transaction
     had closed on December 1, 1995, to reduce the amount outstanding under the
     Company's reducing, revolving credit agreement with a consortium of banks,
     and (b) an increase in the income tax provision, at the statutory rate, to
     reflect the decreased deduction for interest expense discussed above. 

5.   The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the 
     nine months ended August 31, 1997 and for the year ended November 30,1996 
     exclude the net gain of approximately $17.9 million recognized on the 
     close of the HRHC Transaction at October 24, 1997 calculated as follows 
     (dollars in thousands):
