        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Paul-Son Gaming Corporation, including its subsidiaries (collectively
"Paul-Son" or the "Company"), is a leading manufacturer and supplier of casino
table game equipment in the United States. The Company's products include casino
chips, table layouts, playing cards, dice, furniture, table accessories and
other products which are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker,
baccarat, craps and roulette. The Company sells its products in every state in
which casinos operate in the United States and in various countries throughout
the world.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Paul-Son and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Paul-Son Gaming Supplies, Inc.
("Paul-Son Supplies"), Paul-Son Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. and Authentic Products,
Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and do not include all of the information and notes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2000.

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2000 and
statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended August
31, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of results for such periods. The results of operations for an
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

     A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments and repurchase
agreements with maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash
equivalents.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         (CONTINUED)

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

     The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
generally requires a fifty percent deposit for manufactured or purchased
products at the discretion of management. These customer deposits are classified
as a current liability on the balance sheet. The Company maintains an allowance
for doubtful accounts, and charges against the allowance have been within
management's expectations.

INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of reserves for
slow-moving, excess and obsolete items. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of depreciation.
Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes over the following estimated useful lives:

        Vehicles                                          5-7
</TABLE>

OTHER ASSETS

     Included in other assets are goodwill, which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 20 years, and patent rights costs, which are being
amortized over 5 years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Substantially all revenue is recognized when products are shipped to
customers. The Company typically sells its products with payment terms of net 30
days or less.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
109 for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. A current tax
liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable
on tax returns for the current year.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         (CONTINUED)

     A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future
tax effects, based on provisions of the enacted law, attributable to temporary
differences and carryforwards.

FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS

     Sales outside of the United States are not significant and substantially
all transactions occur in United States dollars.

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. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the
depreciable life of assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts and
slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" in June 1998. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This
statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years which begin after
June 15, 2000. The statement requires entities to recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and to
measure instruments at fair value. As the Company does not have significant
derivative instruments, management believes that SFAS No. 133 will not have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101"). SAB 101 clarifies existing accounting principles related to revenue
recognition in financial statements. The Company is required to comply with the
provisions of SAB 101 by the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending May 31,
2001. Due to the nature of the Company's operations, management does not believe
that SAB 101 will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT AND PLEDGED ASSETS

     Paul-Son Supplies has a $1.8 million note and a $500,000 note to a bank
(collectively the "Facilities"). The Facilities are secured by a first deed of
trust on certain real estate owned by Paul-Son Supplies and by a secured
interest in all accounts, equipment, inventory and general intangibles of
Paul-Son Supplies. The Company is also the guarantor of the facilities. The
Facilities contain restrictive covenants, generally requiring the Company to
maintain certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement, and to maintain
net income annually of at least $250,000. As of May 31, 2000 the Company was in
violation of certain covenants. As a result of the violations, the Company and
the bank, in June 2000, entered into a forbearance agreement. This agreement
requires the Company to pay additional monthly principal payments of $100,000
which began June 15, 2000. The additional monthly principal payments increase to
$125,000 beginning October 15, 2000 and to $150,000 beginning February 15, 2001.
The bank has agreed to waive its rights to declare a default on the Facilities
as long as principal payments are made in accordance with the forbearance
agreement. The Company made the required payments under the forbearance
agreement during the quarter ended August 31, 2000.

NOTE 5.  BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information" effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 1997. This statement, which supersedes SFAS No. 14,
establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in
annual financial statements. The statement requires public business enterprises
to report selected reporting information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires public business enterprises to report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports. The Company's
reportable segments have been identified as follows:

     -    Sale of Gaming Supply Products to New Casino Openings - Significant
          sales of products to casinos which opened during the fiscal year, the
          majority of which sales are not replaced on a regular, recurring
          basis.

     -    Sale of Gaming Supply Products to Established Casinos - Sales of
          products to casino customers which had opened prior to the fiscal year
          and are principally considered on-going, recurring sales.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." The Company evaluates the
performance of each segment by

Corporate expenses and certain overhead expenses have been allocated to each
segment based on management's estimate of the segment's utilization of the
resources or expenses. During the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and
1999, management estimated gross margins of the reportable segments to be equal.
However, management's estimation used in the operating income (loss) for the
segments' overhead and corporate expenses was 90% from product sales to
established casinos and 10% from product sales to new casino openings.

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

OVERVIEW

     Paul-Son is a leading manufacturer and supplier of casino table game
equipment in the United States. The Company's products include casino chips,
table layouts, playing cards, dice, gaming furniture, and miscellaneous table
accessories such as chip trays, drop boxes, and dealing shoes, which are used in
conjunction with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps
and roulette. The Company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with its
primary manufacturing facilities located in San Luis, Mexico, and sales offices
in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Fort Lauderdale,
Florida; Gulfport, Mississippi; Portland, Oregon; and Ontario, Canada. The
Company sells its products in every state in which casinos operate in the United
States.

COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 AND AUGUST
31, 1999

     REVENUES. For the three months ended August 31, 2000, revenues were
approximately $5.3 million, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or 16%,
versus revenues of approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended August
31, 1999. The decrease in revenues for the 2000 period was caused principally by
a decline in new casino openings and expansions during the three months ended
August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 1999. During
the three months ended August 31, 1999, casino chip and furniture revenues from
new casino openings were approximately $1.5 million. During the same three month
period ended August 31, 2000 new casino opening revenues totaled approximately
$554,000. Sales of products manufactured by the Company totaled approximately
$4.7 million in the 2000 period versus approximately $4.9 million in the same
period of the prior year.

     COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of sales, increased to
76.3% for the three months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to 74.7% for the
three months ended August 31, 1999. This decline in the gross margin for the
three months ended August 31, 2000 occurred primarily due to 1) an increase in
costs to operate the Company's Mexican manufacturing plant as inflationary costs
were not offset by a devaluation of the Mexican peso and 2) a larger
underabsorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs as production levels,
primarily a function of sales volume, were less than the previous year's three
month period.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended August 31, 2000
decreased in absolute dollars by approximately $350,000 from the comparable
period in the prior year as a result of the aforementioned decrease in revenues
and the aforementioned decline in the gross margin percentage from 25.3% in the
1999 period to 23.7% in the 2000 quarter.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. For the three months ended
August 31, 2000, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased
approximately $132,000 or 8%, compared to the comparable period of the prior
year. Reductions in sales related personnel, as well as certain sales office
activities, occurred throughout the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 and were
principally the cause of the aforementioned decrease.


                                       12
<PAGE>

     INTEREST EXPENSE. For the three months ended August 31, 2000, interest
expense decreased to approximately $62,000 from approximately $64,000 in the
1999 period. This decrease was due to a reduction in average borrowings
outstanding during the three months ended August 31, 2000.

     OTHER INCOME. For the three months ended August 31, 2000, other income
decreased to approximately $23,000 from approximately $104,000 in the 1999
period. This decrease was due principally to nonrecurring gains realized in the
1999 period from the sale of certain non-operating assets.

     NET INCOME/(LOSS). For the three months ended August 31, 2000 the Company
incurred a net loss of approximately $267,000, a decline of approximately
$287,000 from the net income of approximately $20,000 for the quarter ended
August 31, 1999. This decline was primarily due to the aforementioned decrease
in revenues, gross profit margin percentages and other income offset, in part,
by the decrease in SG&A expenses. Net loss per basic and diluted share was $.08
for the three months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to net income per basic
and diluted share of $.01 per share for the three months ended August 31, 1999.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     OVERVIEW. Management believes that the combination of cash flow from
operations and cash on hand will provide sufficient liquidity on a short-term
basis. On a long-term basis, management of the Company believes that, depending
on future cash flow from operations, the Company may be required to secure
additional financing.

     WORKING CAPITAL. Working capital totaled approximately $4.7 million at
August 31, 2000, a decrease of approximately $400,000 in working capital from
approximately $5.1 million in working capital at May 31, 2000.

     CASH FLOW. Operating activities provided approximately $732,000 in cash
during the three months ended August 31, 2000, as compared to operating cash
provided of approximately $494,000 during the same period in the prior year. The
primary operational sources of cash during the period were related to reductions
of inventory balances of approximately $442,000, increases to customer deposits
of approximately $130,000 and net income before non cash charges of
approximately $114,000. Cash provided by operating activities were offset, in
part, by cash used to reduce debt obligations of approximately $379,000 and
purchases of fixed assets of approximately $162,000. Overall the Company
experienced an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $223,000.

     FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT. In June 2000, the Company entered into a forbearance
agreement with Wells Fargo Bank of Nevada. The agreement requires that the
Company make monthly additional principal payments beginning in June 2000 in the
amount of $100,000. The monthly additional principal payments increase to
$125,000 beginning October 2000 and to $150,000 beginning February 2000 until
all debt obligations to Wells Fargo Bank of Nevada have


                                       13
<PAGE>

been satisfied. The Company has complied with the requirements of the
agreement as of October 12, 2000.

     STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM. The Company's Board of Directors authorized the
open market repurchase of up to approximately 170,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. As of October 11, 2000, the Company had repurchased 8,000 shares
on the open market at a total cost of approximately $32,000 under this
authorization. The Company has funded the purchases made to date and intends to
fund any future repurchases from cash on hand.

Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued or adopted
accounting guidance and their expected impact on the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements.
