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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company sold Patrician, GCI and Artemis, including the Copa Casino, to
unrelated third parties on December 23, 1998. The Company's consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows include the operating results of such
companies through this date. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations will be directed at continuing operations
with only general and otherwise pertinent information provided regarding
operating results for the companies sold.

COMPARISON OF 2000 TO 1999

     For the year ended June 30, 2000, income from operations increased to $2.9
million as compared to a loss from operations of $42,000 for the year ended June
30, 1999. For the same comparable periods, revenues decreased to $36.4 million
from $43.5 million. The increase in income from operations is primarily
attributable to improved operating results at the Sands Regency. The decrease in
revenues is due to the elimination of revenues from the Copa Casino of $11.5
million. Such decrease was partially offset by a $4.3 million increase in
revenues from the Sands Regency, an increase of 13%.

     The Company had net income for the year ended June 30, 2000 of $1.5
million, or income per share (basic and diluted) of $.33, as compared to a net
loss of $1.4 million, or loss per share of $.31, in the year ended June 30,
1999. This $2.9 million improvement in net income includes the elimination of
the prior year net loss from the Copa Casino of $294,000 and improved net income
from the Sands Regency from a net loss of $1.1 million in fiscal 1999 to net
income of $1.5 million in fiscal 2000.

     Earnings before depreciation, interest expense, gain/(loss) and taxes
(EBITDA) also improved from $3.7 million in the year ended June 30, 1999 to $6.1
million in the year ended June 30, 2000. At the Sands Regency, EBITDA doubled
from approximately $3.1 million in fiscal 1999 to $6.1 million in fiscal 2000.

     The improvements in revenue, income from operations, net income and EBITDA
at the Sands Regency are a result of improved gaming revenues and the continued
positive effect of improved methods of operations and increased efficiencies
implemented in fiscal 1999. During the last four months of fiscal 2000, the
Company was positively impacted by a major city-wide bowling event. Every two
out of three years, the City of Reno hosts a major mens' or womens' bowling
event which starts in February or March and ends in June or July. Fiscal 2000
and 2001 are the two out of three years when such major bowling event has or
will take place in Reno. 1999 was the one year out of three in which such a
major bowling event was not held in Reno.

     The increase in lodging revenue to $8.7 million in the year ended June 30,
2000, from $8.6 million in the year ended June 30, 1999, is due to an increase
in occupancy. Hotel occupancy improved from approximately 254,000 room nights
(76.4%) in fiscal 1999 to 257,000 room nights (83.9%) in fiscal 2000. For the
same comparable periods, the average room rate was approximately the same at
$34. In early April 1999, the Company discontinued the use of 102 older motel
rooms which were razed.

     The $7.2 million decrease in gaming revenue, for the year ended June 30,
2000 versus the year ended June 30, 1999, consists of the elimination of gaming
revenues from the Copa Casino of $10.9 million and increased gaming revenues
from the Sands Regency of $3.7 million. At the Sands Regency, gaming revenues
improved from $17.9 million to $21.6 million, a 21% increase. Such increase is
attributable to an increase in casino gaming revenue per occupied room. Casino
revenue per occupied

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
 ................................................................................

room increased from approximately $68 to $82 which reflects, in part, increased
gaming from non-hotel guests, primarily local residents. In order to attract
non-hotel guests, the Company has added new games, including Bingo in February
2000, and has liberalized rules and payouts. The Company has also implemented
various promotions to reward guest gaming activity.

     The decrease in food and beverage revenue of $507,000, in fiscal 2000
versus fiscal 1999, consists of a decrease from the Copa Casino of $917,000
which was partially offset by an increase at the Sands Regency of $410,000. Such
increase at the Sands Regency is due to increased food revenue per occupied room
which increased from approximately $21 in the the year ended June 30, 1999 to
approximately $22 in the year ended June 30, 2000. Such improvement is due, in
part, to the updating of food venues and menu prices and an increase in food and
beverages provided to non-hotel guests.

     The slight decrease in other revenue of $29,000, from the year ended June
30, 1999 to the year ended June 30, 2000, includes the elimination of other
revenue from the Copa Casino of $107,000 and an increase attributable to the
Sands Regency of approximately $78,000. The increase at the Sands Regency
consists primarily of improved gift shop retail sales.

     The decrease in complimentary lodging, food and beverage, deducted from
revenue, of $464,000 is principally attributable to the elimination of the Copa
Casino.

     The decrease in gaming costs and expenses of $5.0 million in fiscal 2000
compared to fiscal 1999 consists of a decrease from the Copa Casino of
approximately $5.5 million and an increase from the Sands Regency of $504,000.
The increase at the Sands Regency includes increases in bingo costs and expenses
and slot route costs and expenses of $221,000 and $127,000, respectively. The
Company commenced bingo operations in February 2000 and the increase in slot
route costs and expenses is due to increased rental costs paid to slot route
location owners. The remaining increase includes a decrease in salaries, wages
and benefits of approximately $162,000 and increases in various other gaming
cost and expenses primarily due to the associated increase in gaming revenue.

     The increase in lodging costs and expenses of $124,000 in the year ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the year ended June 30, 1999 consists of a decrease in
salaries, wages and benefits of approximately $70,000 as offset by an increase
in various other costs and expenses of $194,000. Such increase is due, in part,
to the increase in hotel occupancy.

     The decrease in food and beverage costs and expense of $362,000, from
fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000, consists of the elimination of costs and expenses
from the Copa Casino of approximately $634,000 as offset by increased costs and
expenses from the Sands Regency of $272,000. The increase in food and beverage
costs and expenses is due to the increase in related revenue, various price
increases and increases in various other operating costs.

     The decrease in maintenance and utilities costs and expenses of $1.6
million consists of the elimination of costs and expenses associated with the
Copa Casino of $1.4 million and a decline from the Sands Regency of
approximately $179,000. The decrease at the Sands Regency is primarily salaries,
wages and benefits and utility costs and is, in part, a result of the continuing
effect of improved efficiencies at the Sands Regency.

     The decrease in general and administrative costs and expenses of $2.8
million, in fiscal 2000 versus fiscal 1999, consists of a decrease from the Copa
Casino of approximately $3.2 million as partially offset

                                        8
<PAGE>   4

 ................................................................................

by an increase from the Sands Regency of $529,000. The increase at the Sands
Regency is due to increases in advertising and promotional costs and expenses
and in incentive compensation. The increased advertising and promotional costs
are due to expanded advertising efforts and in-house promotional programs to
attract hotel and non-hotel guests.

     The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $521,000, in the
year ended June 30, 2000 compared to the year ended June 30, 1999, is primarily
attributable to the Copa Casino.

     The decrease in interest and other expense of $552,000 includes a decrease
due to the elimination of the Copa Casino of $391,000 and a decrease at the
Sands Regency of approximately $161,000. The decrease at the Sands Regency is
primarily due to the elimination of prior accrued interest payable upon the
successful refinancing of the Company's secured bank debt.

     The gain on disposition of property and equipment in fiscal 2000 is
primarily due to an insurance recovery on the fire loss of a warehouse building
and its contents. The loss on disposition of property and equipment in fiscal
1999 consists of the write-off of the undepreciated basis of 102 motel rooms and
other low-rise buildings razed in fiscal 1999 and related lease terminations
costs for the early termination of a lease located in such structure. Such
structures were 30 to 35 years old and were replaced with a paved open area
utilized for parking and special events/promotions.

     The effective income tax rate for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000 is
different from the statutory rate due, in part, to the impact of certain tax
credits that otherwise reduce income taxes for federal income tax purposes.

     As is true for other hotel/casinos in the Reno area, demand for the
Company's facilities declines in the winter. Due to lower room rates and a lower
level of gaming play per occupied room, operating margins and, to a lesser
extent, revenues are lower during the second and third fiscal quarters. The
Sands Regency has not historically been affected as severely as many other
hotel/casinos in the Reno area because the Company attracts high levels of group
business during that period. This group business and the Company's flexible
pricing strategy have historically enabled the Company to bolster its hotel
occupancy during seasonally slower periods. Further, the Company has also
realized an increase in local gaming business which is not subject to as great a
decline in winter months as the tourism business. Management anticipates that
the trend of experiencing lower operating margins in the second and third
quarters of each fiscal year will continue.

COMPARISON OF 1999 TO 1998

     For the year ended June 30, 1999, revenues decreased to $43.5 million from
$59.2 million in the prior year and income from operations decreased from
$233,000 to a loss from operations of $42,000. The decrease in revenues was due
to the elimination of revenues from the Copa Casino of approximately $12.9
million and a decline in revenues at the Sands Regency from $34.9 million in
fiscal 1998 to $32.1 million in fiscal 1999. The decrease in income from
operations consisted of an increase from the Copa Casino of approximately
$84,000 which was offset by a decrease from the Sands Regency of $359,000.

     For the same comparable fiscal years, the Company had a net loss of $1.4
million, or $.31 per share, in fiscal 1999 compared to a net loss of $1.2
million, or $.27 per share, in fiscal 1998. The Copa Casino had a net loss of
approximately $294,000 in the current fiscal year as compared to a net loss in
the prior

 ................................................................................

fiscal year of $531,000. The Sands Regency's portion of the net loss was $1.1
million as compared to a net loss of $688,000 in fiscal 1998.

     The decline in Sands Regency revenues, income from operations and net
income was attributable to a decline in hotel occupancy due, in part, to an
overall softening in the Reno area market, a reduction in group business at the
Sands Regency and the lack of a major city-wide bowling event. Every two out of
three years, the City of Reno hosts a major mens' or womens' bowling event which
starts in February and ends in July. Fiscal 1999 was the one year out of three
in which such a major bowling event was not held in Reno. Revenues were also
somewhat negatively impacted in the fourth quarter due to construction on the
Company's premises which included the razing of 102 older motel rooms and other
older buildings. Nonetheless, this decline in revenue was partially offset by
reduced costs and expenses commencing primarily in the second quarter of fiscal
1999. Such decline in costs and expenses was due to improved efficiencies and
methods of operations.

     The decrease in lodging revenue of $315,000 in the year ended June 30,
1999, compared to the year ended June 30, 1998, was due to a decrease in hotel
occupancy from 83.3%, or 285,000 room nights to 76.4% or 254,000 room nights.
The average daily room rate increased by over 8% to approximately $34 in fiscal
1999 from $31 in fiscal 1998. In early April 1999, the Company discontinued the
use of 102 older motel rooms, which were subsequently razed, resulting in 836
tower hotel rooms available for use.

     The decrease in gaming revenue of $14.2 million, in fiscal 1999 versus
fiscal 1998, was a result of a decrease in gaming revenue from the Copa Casino
of approximately $12.0 million and a decrease from the Sands Regency, primarily
slot revenue, of $2.1 million. The decrease in gaming revenue in Reno was
primarily due to a decrease in hotel occupancy. For the year ended June 30,
1999, casino gaming revenue per occupied room increased to approximately $75.50
from $72.80 in fiscal 1998.

     The decrease in food and beverage revenue of $1.2 million, for the year
ended June 30, 1999 versus the prior year, consisted of a decrease from the Copa
Casino of approximately $1.1 million and a decrease at the Sands Regency of
$111,000. Such decline at the Sands Regency was primarily due to the decline in
hotel occupancy. Food revenue per occupied room increased from approximately $19
in fiscal 1998 to $21 in fiscal 1999 which improvement was due, in part, to the
updating of food venues and increased menu prices.

     The decrease in other revenue of $347,000 consisted of a decrease from the
Sands Regency of approximately $178,000 and a decrease from the Copa Casino of
$169,000. The decrease from the Sands Regency was composed of a decline in
various ancillary revenues. Approximately $58,000 of the $108,000 decrease in
other costs and expenses was due to the decrease in related revenue from the
Sands Regency. The remaining decrease in other costs and expenses of $50,000 was
attributable to the Copa Casino.

     The decrease in complimentary lodging, food and beverage, deducted from
revenue, of $405,000 was principally attributable to the Copa Casino.

     The decrease in gaming costs and expenses of $7.1 million in the twelve
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 1998,
consisted of a decline from the Copa Casino of $5.9 million and a decline from
the Sands Regency of $1.2 million. The decrease at the Sands Regency consisted
of decreases due to reduced gaming revenues and as a result of increased
efficiencies due to

                                       10

 ................................................................................

improved operating practices and methods. Such decrease included a decrease in
salaries, wages and benefits of approximately $632,000.

     The decrease in lodging costs and expenses of $754,000 in fiscal 1999,
compared to fiscal 1998, consisted of a decrease in salaries, wages and benefits
of approximately $579,000 and a decrease in various other costs and expenses of
$175,000. Such declines were due to the decline in hotel occupancy and to
improved efficiencies at the Sands Regency.

     The decrease in food and beverage costs and expenses of $1.2 million, in
the current year compared to the prior year, consisted of a decrease from the
Copa Casino of approximately $1.1 million and a decrease at the Sands Regency of
approximately $177,000. The decline at the Sands Regency was primarily
attributable to a decrease in restaurant operating costs and expenses resulting
in an improved restaurants profit margin.

     The decrease in maintenance and utilities costs and expenses of $1.3
million consisted of decreases from the Copa Casino of $925,000 and from the
Sands Regency of approximately $339,000. The decrease at the Sands Regency
consisted of decreases in utility costs, repair costs and various other costs
and expenses of $128,000, $111,000 and $100,000, respectively. Such decreases
were due, in part, to the decrease in hotel occupancy and improvements in
operating efficiencies.

     The decrease in general and administrative costs and expenses of $4.2
million consisted of a decrease from the Copa Casino of approximately $4.4
million and increases from the Sands Regency and The Sands Regent of
approximately $58,000 and $132,000, respectively. The slight increase at the
Sands Regency was primarily due to an increase in advertising and promotional
costs and expenses of $568,000 as offset by decreases in salaries, wages and
benefits of approximately $442,000 and in various other costs and expenses. The
increase in advertising and promotional costs and expenses was due to the
implementation of new print, billboard and radio advertising campaigns in the
Reno and Northern California market areas and expanded in-house promotional
programs. The decreases in salaries, wages and benefits, and in various other
costs and expenses, were due, in part, to improved operating methods and
practices.

     The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $646,000, in
fiscal 1999 versus fiscal 1998, was primarily attributable to the Copa Casino.

     The decrease in interest and other expense of $685,000 consisted of a
decline from the Sands Regency of $258,000 and a decrease relative to the Copa
Casino operation of $427,000. The decrease from the Sands Regency was due to a
lower effective overall interest rate on reduced long-term debt.

     The loss on disposition of property and equipment in fiscal 1999 primarily
included the razing and the write-off of the undepreciated basis of 102 motel
rooms in low-rise buildings and other structures rented to third parties, and
certain costs related to the early termination of a lease located in the rental
structure. Such structures were 30 to 35 years old and were replaced with a
paved open area utilized for parking and special events/promotions.

     The effective income tax rate for the twelve months ended June 30, 1999 was
different from the statutory rate due to certain items, primarily attributable
to the Copa Casino, that were not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased from $5.6
million at June 30, 1999 to $9.9 million at June 30, 2000. Cash and cash
equivalents provided from operating activities for the years ended June 30,
2000, 1999 and 1998 was $6.9 million, $2.3 million and $3.0 million,
respectively. In addition to cash generated from operating activities, cash was
also generated in fiscal 2000 from the maturity of short-term investments of
$1.3 million, from the receipt of funds held in escrow relative to the December
1998 sale of subsidiaries of $653,000 and from payments on the note receivable
from the sale of these former subsidiaries of $534,000. In fiscal 1999, cash was
generated through the issuance of long-term debt of approximately $239,000. In
fiscal 1998, the Company received cash of approximately $1.2 million as a result
of the early repayment of a note receivable which was not otherwise due to be
paid until fiscal 1999. The Company's short-term investments, which generally
mature in one year or less, represent temporarily invested cash funds which are
generally readily convertible to cash.

     Uses of cash included the Company's purchase of short-term investments of
$1.9 million in fiscal 2000 and payments of long-term debt of $10.8 million,
$862,000 and $731,000 in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. $10 million
of the long-term debt repayment in fiscal 2000 represented refinancing of bank
debt which was otherwise due in full in fiscal 2000. Approximately $443,000 in
cash was utilized in fiscal 2000 for the payment of costs relative to the
long-term debt refinancing. Cash was also utilized for the acquisition of
property and equipment in the amounts of $2.8 million, $1.7 million and $2.0
million in the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
property and equipment acquisition amounts, for the years indicated, represent
primarily furniture, fixtures and equipment replacements and additions. In
fiscal 1999, $500,000 of cash from the former subsidiaries was deposited into an
escrow which was subsequently released to the Company in July 1999.

     At June 30, 2000, the Company believes that its cash funds and cash
generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its needs for the next
fiscal year. The Company generally invests its excess cash in securities which
are readily marketable and that are not subject to significant market value
fluctuations.

     The Company's working capital improved to approximately $7.7 million at
June 30, 2000 from a deficit of approximately $4.2 million at June 30, 1999.
Such improvement was due to positive working capital generated from operations
and the refinancing of approximately $10.0 million in long-term debt which was
due in fiscal 2000 and was classified as a current liability at June 30, 1999.

     Future expansion plans for the Reno facility will be considered based upon
future market conditions, available financial resources and the need to add
hotel rooms and other major facilities.

     Inflation has had only a slight impact on the Company's operating results.
Cost and expense increases have generally been passed on to the customers
through moderate price increases, higher table limits and upgraded slot machine
denominations.

YEAR 2000

     The Company completed all phases of its study and evaluation of its Y2K
Systems and Components presently utilized by the Company prior to December 31,
1999 including inquiries and follow-up with material third party vendors.
Appropriate corrective actions, as necessary, were also undertaken. Upon the
change in date to the year 2000, the Company did not experience any significant
issues or adverse

impacted by potential Y2K failures experienced by third party vendors.

condition. The Company believes that there is a minimal probability of future
material adverse impacts relative to potential failures of its Y2K Systems and
Components and has discontinued further Y2K compliance efforts including the
need to develop contingency plans.

and Results of Operations contains various "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and

actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, the following: increased competition in existing
markets or the opening of new gaming jurisdictions; a decline in the public
acceptance of gaming; the limitation, conditioning or suspension of any of the
Company's gaming licenses; increases in or new taxes imposed on gaming revenues
or gaming devices; a finding of unsuitability by regulatory authorities with
respect to the Company's officers, directors or key employees; loss or
retirement of key executives; significant increases in fuel or transportation
prices; adverse economic conditions in the Company's key markets; severe and
unusual weather in the Company's key markets and adverse results of significant

THE SANDS REGENT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 ................................................................................

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000, 1999, 1998

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Sands
Regent and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zante, Inc. ("Zante"), and, through
December 23, 1998, its wholly owned subsidiaries Patrician, Inc. ("Patrician"),
Artemis, Inc. ("Artemis") and Gulfside Casino, Inc. ("GCI"), and their general
partnership Gulfside Casino Partnership ("GCP") (together the "Company"). On
December 23, 1998, the Company sold Patrician, GCI and Artemis, which were the
sole partners in GCP, to unrelated third parties.

     All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

(b) Nature of operations

     The Company owns and operates The Sands Regency Casino/Hotel in Reno,
Nevada and, through December 23, 1998, the Copa Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi
which was owned and operated by GCP. The Company also owns and operates a slot
route service with various locations in the general Reno area. The Company's
operations are conducted in the casino-hotel industry and include gaming
activities, hotel, restaurant and other related support facilities. Because of
the integrated nature of these operations, the Company is considered to be
engaged in one industry segment.

     Casino operations are subject to extensive regulation in the States of
Nevada and Mississippi by the respective state Gaming Authorities. Management
believes that the Company's procedures for supervising casino operations and
recording casino and other revenues comply in all material respects with the
applicable regulations.

(c) Operating revenues

     In accordance with industry practice, the Company recognizes as casino
revenue the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between
gaming wins and losses.

     Lodging, food and beverage furnished without charge to customers are
included in gross revenues at a value which approximates retail and then
deducted as complimentary services to arrive at net revenues. The cost of such
complimentary services is charged to gaming operating costs and expenses.

     The estimated costs of providing the complimentary services are as follows:

</TABLE>

     Other operating revenue is comprised of hotel/casino ancillary services.
Related costs and expenses are included in other operating costs and expenses.

<PAGE>   16

 ................................................................................

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

     Cash equivalents include all short-term investments with an original
maturity of three months or less. Such investments, carried at cost which
approximates market, are readily marketable with no significant investment in
any individual issuer.

(e) Short-term investments

     The Company accounts for its short-term investments in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115 -- "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". This
statement requires that unrealized gains and losses on securities defined as
"available-for-sale" be excluded from income and be reported in a separate
component of stockholders' equity. As of June 30, 2000, substantially all of the
Company's short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale.

(f) Inventories

     Inventories consist primarily of food, beverage and operating supplies and
are stated at the lower of cost (determined on an average cost basis) or market.

(g) Property and equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
computed primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets. These lives range between 5 to 35 years for buildings and
improvements and 5 to 20 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures. Assets
sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the property accounts and the
resulting gains or losses are included in income.

(h) Impairment of long-lived assets

     The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived and identifiable
intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be
recoverable.

(i) Income taxes

     Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 -- "Accounting for
Income Taxes". In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes is utilized whereby deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

THE SANDS REGENT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 ................................................................................

(j) Fair value of financial instruments

     The Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes
this additional information in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements when the fair value is different than the book value of those
financial instruments. When fair value is equal to book value, no additional
disclosure is made. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices whenever
available. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses
alternative valuation techniques such as calculating the present value of
estimated future cash flows utilizing discount rates commensurate with the risks
involved. It is estimated that the carrying amounts of the Company's financial
instruments approximate fair value at June 30, 2000.

(k) Concentrations of credit risk

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts with
balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.

(l) Recent Pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
    and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")

     On June 30, 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 entitled "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not believe this new
SFAS will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company but
because of the complexity of SFAS No. 133, the ultimate impact has not yet been
determined.

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

(m) Use of estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

(n) Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 and 1998 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.

                                       22
<PAGE>   18

 ................................................................................

NOTE 2 -- SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

     Short-term investments at June 30, 2000 primarily consist of a government
agency note carried at amortized cost, which approximates market and matures in
August 2000.

NOTE 3 -- NOTE RECEIVABLE, SALE OF SUBSIDIARIES

     In December 1998, the Company closed an agreement selling all of its
ownership interest in Patrician, GCI and Artemis, which included a 100%
ownership interest in the Copa Casino, for $8.5 million. The agreement provided
for an initial payment of $500,000 with the balance payable in monthly
installments of the greater of $15,000 or 2% of the Copa's gross gaming
revenues. The initial payment and monthly payments through June 30, 1999,
aggregating $653,000, were held in escrow as security for certain
representations and warranties and are included in accounts receivable on the
consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1999. Such amounts were released to the
Company in July 1999.

     Upon consummation of the sales transaction, the Company's net investment in
Patrician, GCI and Artemis was $2.2 million which was reclassified as a note
receivable, net. The difference to the original $8.0 million face value of the
note, after the initial $500,000 payment, represents an unrecognized gain of
approximately $5.8 million. Such gain will be recognized by the Company as it
receives subsequent payments after recovering the $2.2 million net investment.
At June 30, 2000, the balance of the note receivable, net (the net investment)
is $1.4 million. $180,000 of the note receivable, sale of subsidiaries is
reflected as a current asset.

     The new owners of Patrician, GCI, Artemis and GCP have made certain claims
that GCP had previously made payments for the benefit of the Company and are
seeking to recover such payments. Preliminary discussions are in progress.
Management believes that the claims are without merit and that the ultimate
outcome will not have a material adverse affect to the Company.

     The bank term loan, entered into in December 1999, requires the Company to
comply with certain financial and other covenants, restricts future encumbrances
and limits situations where a change in control in the Company may occur. The
financial covenants include requiring that a minimum EBITDA (earnings before
interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) be maintained, that a
minimum tangible net worth be maintained and that unrestricted cash, cash
equivalents and investments be maintained in an amount of at least $1.25
million. The covenants also include a limitation on capital expenditures in each
fiscal year, restrictions on investment activities and the sale or disposition
of a significant portion of the Company's assets, restrictions on advances from
Zante, Inc. to the Company and various other reporting and financial operating
requirements and restrictions. The Company believes that it is in compliance
with the covenants, requirements and restrictions.

NOTE 5 -- STOCK OPTION AND STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

     The Company's amended and restated stock option plan provides for the
granting of incentive stock options, as well as non-qualified stock options, to
executives and key employees. The plan also provides for the grant of
non-qualified stock options to independent (non-employee) directors. With
respect to grants of stock options to independent directors, the stock option
plan provides for the automatic grant of options to purchase 7,500 shares to an
independent director on each annual meeting date that such director continues to
serve. Further, the Board of Directors may grant an option to purchase up to
25,000 shares upon the appointment of a new independent director.

     The plan presently permits for the grant of options covering a maximum of
800,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has reserved shares to
cover these requirements. The plan will continue until the year 2007, unless
terminated earlier. Under the plan, the per share exercise price of an option
cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares at date of grant
or 110% of the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted
to stockholders owning more than 10% of the outstanding common shares. The
options generally vest 25% to 50% each year after grant for employees and vest
in full in one year for grants to independent directors.

     Prior to the approval of an amendment to the Company's Stock Option Plan at
the November 1998 annual shareholders' meeting, allowing for the grant of stock
options to independent directors, the Board of Directors approved a
non-qualified stock option grant in fiscal 1998 to a then newly appointed
independent director to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. Granted at fair
market value, the option vested one year from the date of grant and is subject
to a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement.

     In December 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
repricing of certain incentive stock options. The effect of the repricing
resulted in the cancellation and reissuance of 318,000 options with a price
equal to the market value of the common stock at the date of repricing. The
options granted to replace the cancelled options that were previously vested,
vested on the first anniversary date of the repricing. The options granted to
replace the unvested cancelled options vest 25% each year commencing on the
first anniversary date of the repricing.

     The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 -- "Accounting for Awards of Stock-Based
Compensation" which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based employee compensation plans and for transactions where equity
securities are issued for goods and services. It defines a fair value based
method of accounting for an employee stock option, or similar equity instrument,
and encourages such method of

 ................................................................................

accounting for all employee stock compensation plans. As provided by SFAS No.
123, the Company has elected to continue to follow the provisions of APB Opinion
No. 25 -- "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" which measures compensation
costs for employee stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value based
method of accounting. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized.

     The following table indicates the Company's net income and net income per
share assuming that compensation costs for the Company's stock option plan
grants were determined using the fair value based method prescribed by SFAS 123.
The table also discloses the weighted average assumptions used in estimating the
fair value of each option grant on the date of the grant, using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the estimated weighted average fair
value of the options granted. The model assumes no expected future dividend
payments on the Company's common stock for the options granted:

</TABLE>

     The Company has a March 31 tax year-end.

NOTE 7 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings Per Share are calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 -- "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 provides for
the reporting of "basic", or undiluted earnings per share, and "diluted"
earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the addition of potentially dilutive securities
which, for the Company, consist solely of stock options. Dilution is determined
based on the assumption that options issued pursuant to the Company's stock
option plans (see Note 5) are exercised and repurchased at the average price for
the periods presented.

                                       28
<PAGE>   24

 ................................................................................

     For the year ended June 30, 2000, weighted average diluted shares include
options to acquire approximately 71,000 shares issuable pursuant to the
Company's stock option plans. Options to purchase approximately 402,000 shares
of common stock at June 30, 2000 were not included in the computation of
dilutive earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater
than the average market price of the common shares. For the years ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, there were no outstanding convertible securities that would
result in dilution of basic earnings per common share.

NOTE 8 -- CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is party to various legal actions, proceedings and pending
claims arising in the normal conduct of business. Management believes that the
final outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's financial position and results of operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 ................................................................................

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of The Sands Regent:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Sands
Regent and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Sands Regent and
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
