BOARDWALK CASINO, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Boardwalk Casino, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) ("BCI") was formed in July
1993 for the purpose of operating a casino and a hotel (the "Boardwalk Hotel
and Casino") in Las Vegas, Nevada previously operated by two companies under
common control (collectively, the Company). As part of a reorganization
effective October 1, 1993, BCI acquired all the real and personal property of
VC,Ltd. Partnership (a Nevada limited partnership which owned the hotel)
("VC"). Also, as part of the reorganization, VC's general partner, Holiday
Gifts, Inc., (a Nevada corporation which owned the casino license and related
assets) ("HGI"), and Norbert W. and Avis P. Jansen (the "Jansens"), sole
shareholders of HGI, transferred certain personal and real property to BCI.
The transaction was effected through the exchange of 3,850,000 shares of BCI
common stock.
Contemporaneously with the Company's licensing by the Nevada Gaming
Commission, which became effective on February 11, 1994, the Company
purchased HGI's net gaming assets for a nominal amount. In the interim,
between the date of reorganization and the date of licensing, BCI leased the
casino real property and certain non-gaming equipment to HGI under the terms
of an interim lease.
BCI accounted for the reorganization in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests due to the common ownership and management control pre- and
post-reorganization. Accordingly, the financial statements of BCI for all
periods are presented as if the reorganization and the purchase of the Casino
assets occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented and include
the accounts on a historical cost basis.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although management believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements
be read in conjunction with Company's most recent audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1995. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim period presented have been made. Operating results for the
period ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996.

2. CASINO EXPANSION, RELATED CONSTRUCTION OBLIGATIONS AND RESTRICTED CASH:
The Company is currently engaged in a three-phase project to expand and
renovate its existing hotel and casino facilities (the "Expansion").
Phase one of the Expansion was the renovation and refurbishment of the
202 existing hotel rooms, which was completed in May 1994 at an approximate
cost of $2,100,000.
Phase two of the Expansion was the renovation of the casino by expanding
the casino floor space from 15,000 square feet to 33,000 square feet, and
increasing the number of slot machines and table games. In addition, the
renovated casino also features a full-service race and sports book. Phase
two of the Expansion was substantially completed in September 1995 at an
approximate cost of $13,924,000.
Phase three of the Expansion is comprised of the development and
construction of a new 16-story 456 room hotel tower, the completion of the
26,000 square foot second floor of the casino (buffet area and meeting
rooms), the completion of 4,500 square foot meeting room space on the first
floor of the tower, entertainment lounge and the construction of two parking
garages as more fully described below..
A general contractor has been engaged for the construction activities
relating to the hotel tower. Completion of phase three of the Expansion was
substantially completed, excluding the buffet, meeting rooms and the suites
on the 16th floor, by May 03, 1996 at an approximate cost of $27,588,000 of
which $22,954,000 is subject to a fixed price construction contract. Of the
total estimated construction cost, the Company has expended approximately
$22,984,900 (excluding amounts in accounts payable) as of June 30, 1996,
leaving an unexpended balance of approximately $4,603,100. The balance of
the construction will be financed using funds which are classified as
restricted cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheet ($832,230 at
June 30, 1996) and cash available from other sources more fully described in
Note 3.
The 16 story - 456 room hotel tower was opened in stages under a
temporary certificate of occupancy permit as follows: 128 rooms on February
23, 1996, 96 rooms on March 15, 1996, 64 rooms on March 22, 1996, 88 rooms on
April 5, 1996 and 64 rooms on May 3, 1996. By May 3, 1996, 440 additional
rooms were added to the previously existing 202 rooms, making a total of 642
rooms available. The remaining 16th floor, comprised of suites, is be
available for occupancy by July 23, 1996.
On December 22, 1995, the first of two parking garages, consisting of
550 spaces, was available for complete use. The second garage, consisting of
440 spaces, was available for complete use on May 3, 1996.
On November 28, 1995, the 105 seat Lighthouse Lounge opened starring
"The Unknown Comic."

3. OPERATING RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS:
The results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
reflect the positive impact of increased revenues associated with opening a
new facility. The Company had income from operations of $763,666 in the first
nine months of 1996 compared to an operating loss in the prior year of
$1,335,819, an increase of $2,099,485.
Management expects to generate cash from operations with the 1996
completion and opening of the hotel facilities under its expansion program,
as more fully described in Note 2. In addition, the Company has sold 15
units (each unit consisting of 10,000 shares of common stock and 5,000
warrants) of an equity private placement offering which provided net proceeds
of $956,250.
The management of the Company has arranged for up to $5,000,000 of
available working capital borrowings. The Company has received a written
commitment from its majority shareholder and CEO for up to $2,000,000 of
uncollateralized borrowings to be available on an as-needed basis through
December 31, 1996. Such borrowings will be made on terms no less favorable
than the Company's existing financing arrangements. As of June 30, 1996 the
Company had borrowed $1,250,000 under this commitment.
The balance of $3,000,000 has been made available by a group of private
investors who have provided other short-term financing to the Company during
1995. Such uncollateralized borrowings are available to the Company on an
as-needed basis through December 31, 1996 on terms similar to those of the
Company's existing short-term borrowings. As of June 30, 1996 the Company had
borrowed $1,100,000 under short-term arrangements.
During the third quarter of 1996, the Company entered into a letter of
intent with Jacobs Entertainment, Ltd. The terms of the letter call for
Jacobs Entertainment to invest a total of $9 million into the Company, of
which $5 million will be in the form of debt and $4 million in common stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing
the proposed transaction.
In April 1995, the Company completed a $40 million debt financing of
the BCI Notes, which resulted in an annual debt service requirement,
excluding principal, of approximately $6,600,000. At June 30, 1996 the
Company owed $1,650,000 in interest on the $40 million debt.
Management believes that the combination of cash flows from operations
and the proceeds from the private placement of common stock (or the available
borrowing capacity, if such placement is not completed) are sufficient to
meet the Company's obligations as they become due during the remainder of
fiscal 1996.

4. EARNING PER COMMON SHARE:
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during each period. A total of 380,200 warrants were
exercised for shares of stock during the current fiscal year. The most
significant warrant exercise was for 375,000 shares of common stock on March
29, 1996. An additional 150,000 shares were issued during the third quarter
1996 as part of a private placement offering.
Warrants and options to purchase common stock which were issued in 1994
and 1995 were excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per share, as
their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (by reducing the loss per
share).
5. LOANS, NOTES AND EQUIPMENT FINANCED PURCHASES AND OBLIGATIONS:
PROMISSORY NOTES
In November 1995 the Company executed a $600,000, 10% uncollateralized

purposes.
In December 1995 the Company executed a $1,250,000, 12.5% promissory
note collateralized by casino equipment of the Company. The note calls for
monthly payments of $41,817, including interest, through November 1998.
Proceeds from the note were utilized to extinguish the existing obligations
on the equipment collateralizing the note and for general working capital
purposes.
On January 10, 1996 the Company executed a $500,000, 12%
uncollateralized promissory note to the majority shareholder and CEO. On
March 29, 1996 the Company received additional proceeds of $500,000 and
provided 50,000 warrants with an original discount of approximately $59,000.
The Company canceled the original note and reissued a modified
uncollateralized promissory note for $1,000,000 at 12%,(payable the earlier
of the completion of the proposed private placement equity offering or
September 30, 1996).
The Company on April 1, 1996 modified an existing $400,000 promissory
note upon receipt of an additional $200,000 by issuing a $600,000 12%
installment note, payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal and
interest of $21,035.
On April 2, 1996 the Company executed a $100,000, 10% uncollateralized
promissory 90 day demand note to the majority shareholder and CEO with
interest only.
On April 15, 1996 the Company executed a $150,000, 10% uncollateralized
promissory 90 day demand note to the majority shareholder and CEO with

REFINANCING AGREEMENT
In November 1995 the Company negotiated an agreement to settle
construction overages on the casino whereby the Company issued a $482,000,
12% promissory note, interest due monthly, with $250,000 in principal paid in
May 1996 with the balance due September 1996.
FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
In October 1995, the Company purchased an additional 20 slot machines.
The machines have been financed with a $144,651, prime plus 3%, promissory
note with no payments due the first three months and monthly principal
payments of $6,888 through August 1996; then principal and interest payments
through November 1997.
In October 1995, the Company purchased an additional 397 slot machines.
The machines have been financed with a $2,574,456, prime plus 3%, promissory
note with monthly principal payments of $107,269 through August 1996; then
principal and interest payments through November 1997. Principal was paid
down by $700,000 by the proceeds from a subsequent promissory note in January
1996.
In January 1996, the Company executed a $700,000, 12.5% promissory note
collateralized by 111 slot machines of the Company. The note calls for
monthly payments of $6,708 for months 1 through 4 and $23,411, including
interest for the remainder of the payments through May 1999. Proceeds from
the note were applied towards the original purchase of the 397 slot machines.
The Company amended the existing phone equipment lease to include the
additional system needed to serve the hotel tower. In April 1996, the
additional $231,822 in equipment, increased the monthly lease payment from
$2,586 to $7,243 starting April 1996 through July 2002.

5. LOANS, NOTES AND EQUIPMENT FINANCED PURCHASES AND OBLIGATIONS: (CONTINUED)
DEBT REFINANCING
In September 1995, the Company executed a $2,400,000, 10%
uncollateralized promissory note with principal and interest payable
originally due on December 27, 1995, but extended to January 10, 1996. In
January 1996 the Company entered into two refinancing agreements to repay
this obligation. The Company executed a capital lease agreement of
$1,750,000 for hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment with 36 monthly
payments of $57,943 beginning in January 1996. Under the terms of the BCI
Indenture (which were modified in January 1996 to allow for an increase in
collateralized capital lease obligations for this transaction), the Company
was able to utilize this capitalized lease agreement to release $2,071,000 of

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is currently engaged in a three-phase project to expand and
renovate its existing hotel and casino facilities (the "Expansion").
Phase one of the Expansion was the renovation and refurbishment of
the 202 existing hotel rooms, which was completed in May 1994 at an
approximate cost of $2,100,000.
Phase two of the Expansion was the renovation of the casino by expanding
the casino floor space from 15,000 square feet to 33,000 square feet, and
increasing the number of slot machines and table games. In addition, the
renovated casino also features a full-service race and sports book. Phase
two of the Expansion was substantially completed in September 1995 at an
approximate cost of $13,924,000.
Phase three of the Expansion is comprised of the development and
construction of a new 16-story 456 room hotel tower, the completion of the
26,000 square foot second floor of the casino (buffet area and meeting
rooms), the completion of 4,500 square feet of meeting room space on the
first floor of the tower, entertainment lounge and the construction of two
parking garages as more fully described below.
A general contractor has been engaged for the construction activities
relating to the hotel tower. Completion of phase three of the Expansion was
substantially completed, excluding the buffet, meeting rooms and the suites
on the 16th floor, by May 03, 1996 at an approximate cost of $27,588,000 of
which $22,954,000 is subject to a fixed price construction contract. Of the
total estimated construction cost, the Company has expended approximately
$22,984,900 (excluding amounts in accounts payable) as of June 30, 1996,
leaving an unexpended balance of approximately $4,603,100. The balance of
the construction will be financed using funds which are classified as
restricted cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheet ($832,230 at
June 30, 1996) and cash available from other sources.
The 16 story - 456 room hotel tower was opened in stages under a
temporary certificate of occupancy permit as follows: 128 rooms on February
23, 1996, 96 rooms on March 15, 1996, 64 rooms on March 22, 1996, 88 rooms on
April 5, 1996 and 64 rooms on May 3, 1996. By May 3, 1996, 440 additional
rooms were added to the previously existing 202 rooms, making a total of 642
rooms available. The remaining 16th floor, comprised of suites, will be
available for occupancy by July 23, 1996.
On December 22, 1995, the first of two parking garages, consisting of
550 spaces, was available for complete use. The second garage, consisting of
440 spaces, was available for complete use on May 3, 1996.
On November 28, 1995, the 105 seat Lighthouse Lounge opened starring
"The Unknown Comic."

of available room nights from the 18,291 room nights available in the third
quarter of 1995 with occupied rooms increasing 30,865 room nights a 283%
increase, in the third quarter 1996. The increase in the room nights sold

<PAGE>
Hotel expenses increased $709,035 or 175%, to $1,114,797 for third
quarter 1996 from $405,762 for the same period in 1995. The increase in
hotel expenses was due to: (i) an increase in hotel personnel to service the
additional rooms and patrons at an additional cost of $407,557, (ii)
franchise fees on increased room revenues accounted for $123,649 and (iii)
room supplies, laundry, credit card service charges and travel agent

staff to service the enlarged facilities at a cost of $403,103, (ii) an
increase of $55,000 in uniforms, supplies and maintenance expense and (iii)
the remaining increase is the cost for the increased food and beverage
sales.
OTHER REVENUES
Other revenues increased $254,319, or 597%, to $296,920 for third
quarter 1996 from $42,601 for the same period of fiscal 1995. The increase

utility expense of $189,621,(iii) repairs and maintenance for the facility of
$65,996, (iv) additional operating leases totaling $45,225, (v) the increase
in selling, general and administrative was offset by the decrease in property
assessments of $341,293 which were recorded in 1995 and (vi) property and
liability insurance and printing and stationery expense accounted for the
remaining increase.
<PAGE>
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization totaled $675,196 in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, reflecting a $442,904 (191%) increase over the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 amount of $232,292. The increase is due to the depreciable
costs of the new facility, the first parking garage, furnishings and
fixtures, restaurant equipment, slot machines and casino related equipment.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Interest income decreased 89%, ($278,461) to $34,974 for the third
quarter 1996 from $313,435 which relates to the use of the proceeds from the
$40,000,000 debt offering toward construction activities, reducing the
available funds invested in marketable securities, principally U.S. treasury
securities and short-term corporate commercial paper.
The Company invested approximately $30,652,000 of net proceeds from the
BCI Notes in high-quality marketable securities (consisting principally of
U.S. treasury securities and short-term corporate commercial paper) pending
disbursements in connection with the Expansion. As of September 30, 1995 and
June 30, 1996, approximately $15,200,000 and $832,000 respectively, of these
proceeds continued to be held by a trustee pending disbursement for
construction expenditures, in accordance with the terms of the BCI Notes
Indenture.
Interest expense increased to $1,856,439 in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 from $1,688,123 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 due to additional
borrowing during the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. Approximately
$186,429 of interest was capitalized in the third quarter of fiscal year 1996
in connection with the Expansion. Interest capitalized decreased $419,509 due
the completion of the hotel and parking garages in the second quarter of
fiscal year 1996.
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

operating income of $763,666 for the first nine months of fiscal 1996, from
an operating loss of $1,335,819 when compared to the same period in fiscal
1995. The increase in operating income is primarily due to revenues
increasing 284% ($13,482,056) to $18,232,514 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996, from $4,750,458 during the same period in fiscal 1995. Costs

(ii) the remaining increase is the related cost for the increased food and
beverage sales.
OTHER REVENUES
Other revenues increased $368,523 or 251%, to $515,505 for first nine

costs of the new facility, the first parking garage, furnishings and
fixtures, restaurant equipment, slot machines and casino related equipment.

104%, to $3,103,491 for first nine months of fiscal 1996 from $1,522,756 for

increase in utility expense of $379,489, (iii) repairs and maintenance of the
facility increased $199,321 and (iv) additional operating leases totaling
$104,218. The increase in selling, general and administrative was offset by
the decrease in property assessments of $312,542 which were recorded in 1995.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Interest income remained nearly flat to $386,338 for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996 from $382,356 during the same period of 1995 which
relates to the use of the proceeds from the $40,000,000 debt offering toward
construction activities, reducing the available funds invested in marketable
securities, principally U.S. treasury securities and short-term corporate
commercial paper.
<PAGE>
The Company invested approximately $30,652,000 of net proceeds from
the BCI Notes in high-quality marketable securities (consisting principally
of U.S. treasury securities and short-term corporate commercial paper)
pending disbursements in connection with the Expansion. As of September 30,
1995 and June 30, 1996, approximately $17,923,123 and $832,000 respectively,
of these proceeds continued to be held by a trustee pending disbursement for
construction expenditures, in accordance with the terms of the BCI Notes
Indenture.
Interest expense increased to $6,006,479 in the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 from $1,976,777 in the first nine months of fiscal 1995.
Approximately $1,256,064 of interest was capitalized in the first nine months
of fiscal year 1996 in connection with the Expansion with $739,789 of
interest was capitalized in the first nine months of fiscal year 1995.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
No income tax benefit was recorded. Because the Company is a new
taxpayer, it cannot carryback such loss to offset taxable income in prior
years and therefore has a net operating loss carryforward.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 of $3.6 million and
reduction of construction related accounts payable resulted in a negative
cash flow of approximately $3.6 million by operating activities. The net
loss for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 of $3.1 million had generated a
positive cash flow of approximately $1 million by operating activities, which
was in part the result of the $1.4 million accrual of interest on the $40
million placement of first mortgage notes.
Investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 used
approximately a net $3 million which was comprised of approximately $20
million expended for the construction and furnishing of a 16-story 456 room
hotel tower and parking garage. Restricted cash of approximately $17
million was used to meet the expansion obligations
Financing activities provided approximately $4.7 million from additional
borrowings and issuance of common stock and warrants. The Company had paid
$3.4 million of principal on long-term notes and contracts during the first
nine months.
The Company had unrestricted cash assets of $1,670,618 (2.8% of total
assets) at June 30, 1995 compared to $3,650,236 (6.3% of total assets) at
September 30, 1995. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
.24 to 1 at June 30, 1996 and .61 to 1 at September 30, 1995.
Management expects to generate cash from operations with the now
completed hotel facilities under its expansion program, as more fully
described in Note 2. In addition, the
<PAGE>
Company, in a private placement equity offering, has sold 15 units (each unit
consisting of 10,000 shares of common stock and 5,000 warrants) which
provided net proceeds of $956,250.
The Company has also arranged for up to $5,000,000 of available
working capital borrowings. The Company has received a written commitment
from its majority shareholder and CEO for up to $2,000,000 of
uncollateralized borrowings to be available on an as-needed basis through
December 31, 1996. Such borrowings will be made on terms no less favorable
than the Company's existing financing arrangements. As of March 31, 1996 the
Company had borrowed $1,000,000, with an additional $100,000 and $150,000
borrowed April 2, 1996 and April 15, 1996, respectively.
The balance of $3,000,000 has been made available by a group of
private investors who have provided other short-term financing to the Company
during 1995. Such uncollateralized borrowings are available to the Company
on an as-needed basis through December 31, 1996 on terms similar to those of
the Company's existing short-term borrowings. As of March 31, 1996 the
Company had not borrowed any funds under the short-term arrangements. The
Company borrowed $200,000 and $500,000 on April 1, 1996 and April 4, 1996,
respectively. The proceeds from the $500,000 borrowing were wired directly
for use on covering the interest due on the $40 million debt.
In April 1995, the Company completed a $40 million debt financing of the
BCI Notes, which resulted in an annual debt service requirement, excluding
principal, of approximately $6,600,000. At June 30, 1996 the Company owes
$1,650,000 in interest on the $40 million debt.
Management believes that the combination of cash flows from operations
and the proceeds from the private placement of common stock is sufficient to
meet the Company's obligations as they become due during fiscal 1996.
The Company completed several refinancing transactions relating to its
short-term obligations. In November 1995, the Company converted
approximately $482,000 in accounts payable into a 12% promissory note due May
1996. In November 1995, The Company also executed a $600,000, 10%
uncollateralized promissory note due May 1996, the proceeds of which were
used for general working capital purposes.
In December 1995, the Company executed a $1,250,000, 12.5% note payable
transaction with a financing company, collateralized by existing casino
equipment. Proceeds from the note (which is due in monthly installments
through November 1998) were used to extinguish existing current payable
obligations on the equipment and for general working capital purposes. In
January 1996, the Company also entered into an agreement with GIAC to provide
for $1,750,000 of capitalized lease financing for certain hotel furniture and
fixtures. As of June 30, 1996 the Company had utilized $1,726,005 of the
$1,750,000 available. Under the terms of the BCI Notes Indenture (which were
modified to allow for this transaction), the Company was able to utilize this
capitalized lease agreement to release $2,071,000 of construction funds held
by the trustee which had been budgeted for the purchase of the related hotel
equipment. The Company used the
<PAGE>
$2,071,000 and the proceeds from a $500,000, 12% uncollateralized promissory
note payable to its majority shareholder and CEO (payable no later than
September 30, 1996) to repay a $2,400,000 note payable which was originally
due on December 27, 1995 and extended to January 10, 1996.
During the third quarter of 1996, the Company entered into a letter of
intent with Jacobs Entertainment, Ltd. The terms of the letter call for
Jacobs Entertainment to invest a total of $9 million into the Company, of
which $5 million will be in the form of debt and $4 million in common stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing
the proposed transaction.
