NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In July of 1995 the Company bought three Florida bingo centers from Phillip
Furtney and two corporations related to Mr. Furtney (which corporations and Mr.
Furtney are referred to collectively for purposes of this discussion as
"Furtney"). On June 12, 1997, Furtney filed a lawsuit against the Company in
the Circuit Court in Florida, alleging breach of contract on these purchases.
Furtney alleged that the Company defaulted on its original purchase note and
stock obligations under the purchase agreements. Furtney seeks to recover
damages in the amount of $900,000 related to these allegations. On July 12,
1997, the Company answered this lawsuit and filed a counterclaim against Furtney
alleging, among other things, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of
express warranties, contractual indemnity and tortious interference with
contractual rights. The Company believes that it was materially defrauded in
its purchase of these three Florida bingo centers from Furtney in that; Furtney
made no disclosure to the Company of an ongoing criminal investigation of the
operation of these bingo centers by the Florida State Attorney General's Office,
and that Furtney was fully aware of this investigation. The state of Florida
temporarily closed these three bingo centers, as well as several other centers
formerly owned by Mr. Furtney, in November 1995. The Company re-sold these
three bingo centers in December of 1995. In January 1997, the Company and the
State of Florida settled all matters regarding the Company's previous ownership
and operation of these bingo centers. The Company believes that Furtney's
lawsuit against the Company is completely without merit and that the Company
will prevail in its counterclaim against him. There can be no assurance of this
result, however, and a decision against the Company could have a material
adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.
In 1997, one of the Company's subsidiaries was named a defendant (among many
other video gaming operators) in a legal action in the Federal U.S. District
Court in Columbia, South Carolina filed by video poker players. This action
alleges various wrongful acts by the defendants, including allegations that
certain of the defendants' video gaming operations in South Carolina: i)
comprise a lottery, which violates the state constitution; ii) violate the
state's daily net video gaming machine payout limit of $125 per player; iii)
violate the state's single premise rule which only allows up to five video
gaming machines per premise; and iv) violate the state's prohibition against
beer and wine permit holders allowing gambling or games of chance. The
plaintiffs in this action are attempting to have this action certified as a
class action lawsuit. The plaintiffs seek to recover the money lost from
playing video poker and to restrict or otherwise limit in various respects the
manner in which video gaming operations are conducted in South Carolina. The
District Judge certified questions for an advisory opinion of the South Carolina
Supreme Court regarding whether video gaming constitutes an illegal lottery in
South Carolina. The Supreme Court issued an opinion in November 1998 stating
that video gaming does not constitute an illegal lottery. In addition, in April
1999 the District Court ruled that video gaming cash payouts are limited to $125
per day per player based on the existing law in South Carolina. Other issues in
this case are still pending in the District Court. The Company believes that
this action is completely without merit and will defend itself vigorously. If
this case were to be decided against the Company, it would likely have a
material adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.
Refer, also, to Note 10.
In 1997, the South Carolina Department of Revenue and the South Carolina Law
Enforcement Division brought a declaratory judgment action against various
organizations whose members have beer and wine permits and also offer video
poker for play. The suit was also brought against certain businesses in the
video poker industry. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is a named
defendant in this case. The plaintiffs have styled the case as a class action
and have requested that the court declare that the South Carolina Code prohibits
beer and wine from being sold at establishments that provide video poker
machines for play. At issue in the case is whether a specific South Carolina
statute (S.C. Code Section 61-4-580(3)) prohibits a beer and wine permit holder
from also offering video poker for play. The plaintiffs have filed a motion
that the case be certified as a class action and have filed a motion for summary
judgment. The defendants are vigorously defending the case. If this case were
to be decided in favor of the Department of Revenue, it would likely have a
material adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 30, 1998, the South Carolina Department of Revenue announced that as of
August 1, 1998, it would no longer allow beer and wine permits at any location
that also offers video poker, based on its interpretation of the South Carolina
statute noted above. However, in two separate state court cases, two state
Circuit Court judges have entered injunctions prohibiting the Department of
Revenue from enforcing its interpretation of the South Carolina statute at issue
at the current time. At the current time, the Department of Revenue is issuing
beer and wine permits for locations which also offer video poker. If this issue
were to be decided in favor of the Department of Revenue, it would likely have a
material adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.
On September 9, 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas
for the Fifth Judicial Circuit in Columbia, South Carolina, against two former
directors, Greg Wilson and Robert Hersch, Investors Associates, Inc., who
previously served as the Company's underwriter, and two former employees, Roy
Stevens and Paul Hermelink. On February 26, 1999, the Company and Greg Wilson
entered into a settlement with respect to this lawsuit and other issues and thus
Greg Wilson has since been dismissed with prejudice from this lawsuit. Also on
April 14, 1999, the Company and Robert Hersch entered into a settlement with
respect to this lawsuit and other issues and thus Robert Hersch has since been
dismissed with prejudice from this lawsuit. The lawsuit seeks to recover both
actual and punitive damages, as well as the return of profits wrongfully
obtained and the return of assets, including common stock of the Company,
wrongfully acquired, pursuant to various causes of action. On September 30,
1998, Greg Wilson and various family members filed suit against the Company in
the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware, which lawsuit was also
dismissed with prejudice in connection with the settlement with Greg Wilson and
various family members discussed above. Refer, also, to Note 10.
On December 17, 1998, Roy Stevens, a former employee and current shareholder of
the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company, certain of its subsidiaries,
and certain officers, directors and employees of the Company in the Court of
Common Pleas for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Lexington, South Carolina.
The lawsuit alleged that the defendants breached fiduciary duties, breached
contracts, maliciously prosecuted the plaintiff, and engaged in various
fraudulent and illegal acts. In April 1999, the Court dismissed this lawsuit
without prejudice due to the pending litigation between the parties discussed
above. The possibility exists that Mr. Stevens may re-file these allegations as
a counterclaim to the pending litigation. The plaintiff sought to recover
actual and punitive damages of an unspecified amount, the reassignment of a
lease agreement which secures a promissory note issued by the Company to the
plaintiff, and to have a receiver appointed to take control of the Company
during the pendency of this lawsuit. The Company believes that the allegations
are completely without merit and the Company will defend itself vigorously if
the allegations are re-filed in any manner. If such allegations were to be
decided against the Company they would likely have a material adverse effect on
the financial position and operations of the Company. Refer, also, to Note 10.
Under the existing regulatory requirements in South Carolina, each video gaming
machine ("VGM") is required to be connected to the state's computer monitoring
system by May 31, 1999. Any VGM not connected to this online reporting system
by the deadline must be turned off until it is upgraded and connected to the
system. At this time, the Company is attempting to comply with the online
reporting requirements. However, it is uncertain whether the Company will be
able to meet the May 31, 1999 deadline due to uncertainties facing the video
gaming industry regarding such issues as (i) the timing of the State's
certification of the various types of machines, which certification must occur
before the machines may be connected to the online reporting system, (ii) the
availability of the equipment required to upgrade the VGMs for connection to the
online reporting system, and (iii) the availability of the public utilities to
perform the work necessary to connect the VGMs to the online reporting system.
The May 31, 1999 deadline may significantly impact the video gaming industry in
South Carolina as it is anticipated that most of the video gaming operators in
South Carolina will not meet the deadline with respect to some or all of their
VGMs. In the absence of legislative or judicial action, the May 31, 1999
deadline will likely not be extended. If the Company is unable to meet the May
31, 1999 deadline with respect to some or all of its VGMs, such event would
likely have a material adverse effect on the financial position and operations
of the Company.
The Company has identified the equipment that will be required to connect its
existing VGMs to the online reporting system. The equipment necessary includes
both hardware and software upgrades. The Company has allocated approximately
$1.9 million of its 1999 budget to cover these upgrades, including $700,000 in
VGM purchases, $600,000 for software upgrades, and $400,000 for peripheral
online connection equipment.
The South Carolina legislature is currently considering proposed legislation
that would significantly overhaul the regulatory framework for video poker in
South Carolina and would impose significantly higher taxes. The legislation
currently proposed in the South Carolina House of Representatives differs
significantly from the legislation currently proposed in the South Carolina
Senate. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether any legislation will be
adopted in the current year and, if adopted, the nature and impact of such
legislation. However, any such legislation, if adopted, could have a material
adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.
In the normal course of its business, the Company is subject to litigation.
Management of the Company does not believe any claims, individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or operations of the Company, except as otherwise stated above.

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), the Chairman and CEO,
evaluates performance and allocates resources based on a measure of segment
profit or loss from operations.
The Company has identified two operating segments based on the different nature
of the services and legislative monitoring and, in general, the type of
customers for those services. The video gaming segment represents operations of
the Company's video gaming machines in South Carolina. The bingo segment
encompasses bingo center services provided to charitable organizations in South
Carolina, Texas and Alabama.
A summary of the segment financial information reported to the CODM is as

In April 1999 the Federal U.S. District Court in Columbia, South Carolina ruled
that video gaming cash payouts are limited to $125 per day per player based on
the existing law in South Carolina. This ruling was issued in connection with
the lawsuit filed by video poker players against various video gaming operators
which is discussed in Note 8. The ruling was issued against five specific video
gaming operators, but did not include the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
However, the ruling could ultimately have a material adverse effect on the
entire video gaming industry in South Carolina.
On April 14, 1999, the Company and Robert Hersch entered into a settlement with
respect to the pending lawsuit filed by the Company against Robert Hersch and
others, which lawsuit is discussed in Note 8. As a result of the settlement,
Robert Hersch has been dismissed with prejudice from the lawsuit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
American Bingo & Gaming Corp. was formed in 1994 as a Delaware corporation to
consummate the acquisition of charitable bingo centers and video gaming
operations. The Company operates primarily through wholly-owned subsidiaries in
Texas, Alabama and South Carolina. The Company completed its initial public
offering in December of 1994.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form
10-KSB and the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997; the Company's Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31,
1998, June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998; and the consolidated financial
statements and related notes, for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB relating to matters that are
not historical facts, including, but not limited to statements found in this
"Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations", are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual future results to differ
materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to the impact of government regulation and taxation, customer
attendance, spending, competition, general economic conditions, and other risks
and uncertainties as discussed in this Quarterly Report and the 1998 Annual
report on Form 10-KSB.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company generated consolidated revenues of $3.6 million during the first
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999 as compared with $3.7 million in the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of $96,000
or less than 3%. Revenues were led by video gaming operations, which produced
$2 million or 55% of total revenue for the first quarter of 1999, compared to
$2.6 million, or 70%, in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The decrease
in video gaming revenues was primarily a result of the re-organization of the
free-standing video gaming machine ("VGM") operations into route operations in
the fourth quarter of 1998. Bingo rental and other revenues totaled $1.6
million or 45% of revenues for the first quarter of 1999, as compared to $1.1
million or 30% of total revenues for the first quarter of 1998. Bingo rental
and other revenues increased primarily due to seven additional Texas bingo
centers which were open in the first quarter of 1999 that were not open in the
first quarter of 1998, offset partially by decreased bingo and other revenues in
South Carolina. Approximately 62% of first quarter 1999 total revenues were
generated in South Carolina, with 24% in Texas and 14% in Alabama, as compared
to first quarter 1998 revenues of 81% in South Carolina, 7% in Texas, and 12% in
Alabama. This shifting of revenues by region is a reflection of the
reorganization of the free-standing VGM operations in South Carolina as well as
the additional seven bingo halls in Texas contributing to operating revenues in
the first quarter 1999.
Total costs and expenses were $3.4 million in the first quarter of 1999 versus
$3.3 million in the first quarter of 1998, an increase of $104,000 or 4%. The
increase in total costs and expenses is primarily attributable to increased
operating costs, consistent with the increase in revenues, from operating seven
additional bingo centers in Texas, which, in part, offset expense reductions
resulting from the reorganization of the Company's freestanding VGM's into
effectively route locations.
Depreciation, amortization and license expense totaled $1.1 million in the first
quarter of 1999, an increase of $343,000 from the first quarter of 1998. The
expense includes the depreciation of the Company's South Carolina video gaming
machines and related license expenses as well as the amortization of the
Company's intangible assets which consist primarily of goodwill related to the
acquisition of the seven bingo halls in Texas.
General and administrative expenses totaled $885,000 in the first quarter of
1999, compared to $1,004,000 in 1998, a decrease of approximately $119,000 or
12%.
First quarter 1999 rent and utilities for the Company's freestanding video
gamerooms and bingo centers totaled $536,000, compared to $498,000 for the same
period in 1998, an increase of 8%. The Company is continuing its efforts to
minimize rent expenses by subletting, converting, or terminating leases for idle
and unperforming properties.
Direct operating costs for the first quarter of 1999 totaled $619,000 as
compared to $528,000 for the same period in 1998, an increase of approximately
$91,000 or 17%. This increase in direct operating costs is primarily
attributable to increased operating costs, consistent with the increase in
revenues, from operating seven additional bingo centers in Texas.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Net other income totaled $158,000 for the first quarter of 1999, as compared to
$124,000 for the first quarter of 1998. Other income for the first quarter of
1998 was primarily comprised of interest income of $59,000 on the Company's
short-term investments. Other income for the first quarter of 1999 was
primarily derived from proceeds received from the liquidation of Company common
stock owned by the former Company president and members of his family of
$237,000, less related legal costs of $100,000. As a result of the settlement
agreement entered into on February 26, 1999 with the Company's former president
and chief executive officer and members of his family, the Company will receive
the net proceeds from the sale of up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, and $1,300 as consideration for the founder's stock originally issued to
the former president.
Net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $176,000, which equated to a basic
and fully diluted earnings per share of $.02. Net income for the first quarter
of 1998 was $454,000 which equated to a basic and fully diluted earnings per
share of $.05 and $.04, respectively. The weighted average number of basic
Common Stock shares outstanding totaled 9.9 million in the first quarter of 1999
as compared to 9.4 million in the first quarter of 1998. The change is
primarily due to the issuance of Common Stock in the second half of 1998 in
connection with the redemption of preferred stock, the issuance of 128,000
shares of Common Stock in October 1998 related to the acquisition of six bingo
halls in Texas, the issuance of 325,000 shares of Common Stock in January 1999
in connection with the exercise of stock options, less the repurchase of
approximately 360,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company's buyback program
during 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1999 totaled $4.4 million and represented
approximately 23% of the Company's total assets of $19.4 million. Cash flows
from operating activities for the first quarter of 1999 totaled $897,000
compared to $276,000 during the first quarter of 1998, an increase of
approximately 225%. Cash flows from operating activities in the first quarter
of 1999 were comprised of the Company's net income of $176,000, adjusted for
non-cash amounts of depreciation expense and intangible asset amortization of
$724,000, and $76,000 related to a decrease in the provision for uncollectible
receivables, reduced by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of
approximately $80,000.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $280,000 for the three month
period ending March 31, 1999 compared to $1,038,000 in the first quarter of
1998. Cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of $405,000 related
to property and equipment purchases, offset by $170,000 from the repayment of
notes receivable. Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of
1998 were primarily related to capital and intangible asset expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of 1999 totaled $197,000,
as compared to net cash flows from financing activities in the first quarter of
1998 of less than $100.00. Cash used related to financing activities in 1999
included $512,000 of net cash paid to reduce notes payable and capital lease
obligations. Cash received relating to financing activities included $315,000
primarily related to stock options exercised during the first quarter 1999, and
stock purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
At March 31, 1999 the Company had $19.4 million in total assets with total
liabilities of $2.8 million and $16.6 million of shareholders equity. Total
assets include $4.4 million in cash, $1.7 million of net accounts and notes
receivable, $6.6 million of property and equipment, $4.6 million of intangible
assets, $1.5 million in prepaid video gaming licenses, and $0.6 million of other
assets. Total liabilities primarily consist of notes and capital lease
obligations of $2.4 million.
Net property and equipment totaled $6.6 million at the end of the first quarter
of 1999. The majority of property and equipment is comprised of video gaming
machines. Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $4.6
million at the end of the first quarter of 1999 of which 73% is comprised of
goodwill and covenants not to compete associated with the Company's acquisition
of seven bingo centers in Texas during 1998.
Current liabilities totaled $1.7 million and long-term liabilities totaled $1.1
million at the end of the first quarter of 1999. The majority of liabilities
were comprised of $2.4 million of notes payable and capital lease obligations
related to the Company's acquisition of video gaming machines.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
Current assets totaled $6.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 1999,
providing the Company with working capital of approximately $5.2 million and a
current ratio of over 4 to 1. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.4 million
and represented 23% of the Company's total assets. Net accounts receivable
totaled $513,000 and were primarily comprised of operating receivables and
short-term advances to video gaming route location owners. Total current notes
receivable, less provision for doubtful collectability, totaled $388,000 at
March 31, 1999. Note receivables are primarily comprised of a note balance due
on the Company's sale of a Florida bingo center at the end of 1995, and notes
receivable with related parties. Total prepaid licenses of $1.5 million
represent the Company's portfolio of video gaming licenses for VGM's in South
Carolina. Video gaming parts and bingo supplies are expensed at the time of
purchase, therefore no inventory is recorded for operations.
The Company's ongoing operational funding requirements include video gaming
licenses on new and existing machines which are funded by cash at a cost of
$4,000 for a two year license and is required for each of the Company's VGM's.
There are currently no additional taxes on VGM's in South Carolina, although it
is possible that variable taxes and other regulations may be implemented in the
future to replace or modify the current licensing structure. The operating
lease obligations of the Company's bingo segment will continue to use cash
derived from operations and the Company expects to renegotiate existing leases,
where possible, and to structure future lease obligations consistent with
expected future cash flows from the leased center's operations and fair market
rental rates.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify potential problems that could be caused by the Year 2000 issue. This
issue is the result of computer programs that were written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Such programs may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than year 2000, which could result in a
system failure or miscalculation. Management currently believes that the Year
2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company's
computer systems or result in significant costs to become Year 2000 compliant.
However, if the Company's computer systems were subject to undetected system
failures or operational problems resultant from the Year 2000 issue, there can
be no assurance that any one or more such failures would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company. The Company is currently in the process of
certifying that the vendors and suppliers of its critical components and
services are Year 2000 compliant and the Company expects certification to be
completed by May 1999. The Company intends to rely on Year 2000 compliance on
the part of public utility providers and all state and local regulatory
agencies, although non-compliance by those entities could materially adversely
affect the Company's financial condition and operations.
