              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All information for the three and six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999 is
unaudited.)

(1)       Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation -

          Mandalay Resort Group (the "Company"), which changed its name from
Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc. effective June 18, 1999, was incorporated
February 27, 1974. The Company owns and operates hotel and casino facilities in
Las Vegas, Reno, Laughlin, Jean and Henderson, Nevada and a hotel and dockside
casino in Tunica County, Mississippi. In Detroit, Michigan, the Company is the
majority investor in a temporary casino which opened December 14, 1999. It is
also an investor in several unconsolidated affiliates, with operations that
include a riverboat casino in Elgin, Illinois, a hotel/casino in Reno, Nevada,
and a hotel/casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

          The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the Detroit joint venture,
which is required to be consolidated. Material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned affiliated
companies are accounted for under the equity method.

          Minority interest, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, represents the 46.5% interest of the minority partners in
MotorCity Casino in Detroit, Michigan.

          The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, 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 the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
periods have been made. The results for the three and six month periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

          Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements
for the three and six months ended July 31, 1999 to conform to the financial
statement presentation for the three and six months ended July 31, 2000. These
reclassifications have no effect on net income.

(2)      Long-term debt (continued) -

         On July 24, 2000, the Company issued $500 million principal amount of
10-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due August 2007 (the "10-1/4% Notes"), with
interest payable each February and August. The 10-1/4% Notes are redeemable
prior to maturity at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at
100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. A portion of the 10-
1/4% Notes are also redeemable at the option of the Company prior to August 1,
2003 with the proceeds of a public offering of equity securities. The 10-1/4%
Notes are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from
this offering were used to repay borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

         On August 16, 2000, the Company issued $200 million principal amount of
9-1/2% Senior Notes due August 2008 (the "9-1/2% Notes"), with interest payable
each February and August. The 9-1/2% Notes are redeemable prior to maturity at
the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal
amount plus a make-whole premium. The 9-1/2% Notes are not subject to any
sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from this offering were used to
repay borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

         The Company has a policy aimed at managing interest rate risk
associated with its current and anticipated future borrowings. This policy
enables the Company to use any combination of interest rate swaps, futures,
options, caps and similar instruments. To the extent the Company employs such
financial instruments pursuant to this policy, they are accounted for as hedging
instruments. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the underlying hedged
item must expose the Company to risks associated with market fluctuations and
the financial instrument used must be designated as a hedge and must reduce the
Company's exposure to market fluctuation throughout the hedge period. If these
criteria are not met, a change in the market value of the financial instrument
is recognized as a gain or loss in the period of change. Otherwise, gains and
losses are not recognized except to the extent that the financial instrument is
disposed of prior to maturity. Net interest paid or received pursuant to the
financial instrument is included as interest expense in the period.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (continued)

(All information for the three and six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999 is
unaudited.)


(2)      Long-term debt (continued) -

         The Company has entered into various interest rate swaps, principally
with its bank group, to manage interest expense, which is subject to fluctuation
due to the variable-rate nature of the debt under the Company's corporate debt
program. The Company has interest rate swap agreements under which it pays a
fixed interest rate (weighted average of approximately 6.4%) and receives a
variable interest rate (weighted average of approximately 6.8% at July 31, 2000)
on $550 million notional amount of "initial" swaps. The net effect of all such
swaps resulted in a reduction of interest expense of approximately $.4 million
for the six months ended July 31, 2000. Three of the swaps with a combined
notional amount of $350 million terminate in fiscal 2003. The remaining swap of
$200 million notional amount terminates in fiscal 2004.

         As of July 31, 2000, under its most restrictive loan covenant, the
Company was restricted from issuing additional debt in excess of approximately
$665 million. Our borrowing capacity under this covenant can fluctuate
substantially from quarter to quarter depending upon our operating cash flow.

(3)      Lease facility -

         On October 30, 1998, the Company entered into an operating lease
agreement with a group of financial institutions (the "Lease Facility") to
permit the Company to lease up to $200 million of equipment. As of June 30,
1999, the Company had utilized the entire $200 million Lease Facility to lease
equipment at Mandalay Bay, and the commitment under the Company's bank credit
facility was permanently reduced to $1.8 billion. The base term of the lease
expires June 30, 2001, but the lease provides for up to two successive one-year
renewal terms. The rent expense related to this lease facility is reported
separately on the income statement as "operating lease rent."

(4)  Stock options -

         The Company has various stock option plans for executive, managerial
and supervisory personnel as well as the Company's outside directors and
consultants. The plans permit grants of options relating to the Company's common
stock and two of the plans also permit grants of the Company's common stock as

(8)      Commitments and contingent liabilities -

         In July 1995, Silver Legacy, a 50/50 joint venture with the Eldorado
Hotel/Casino, opened in downtown Reno, Nevada. As a condition of the joint
venture's $230 million bank credit agreement, the Company is obligated under a
make-well agreement to make additional contributions to the joint venture as may
be necessary to maintain a minimum coverage ratio (as defined).

(All information for the three and six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999 is

(8)      Commitments and contingent liabilities (continued) -

         We have formed a joint venture with the Detroit-based Atwater Casino
Group to build, own and operate a hotel/casino in Detroit, Michigan. This joint
venture is one of three groups which negotiated development agreements with the
city. We had an initial 45% ownership interest in the joint venture. Effective
December 14, 1999, we acquired an additional 8.5% interest at a cost of $38.4
million, thus increasing our total ownership interest to 53.5%.

         Pending the development of a permanent hotel/casino, the joint venture
constructed a temporary casino (MotorCity Casino) in downtown Detroit, which
opened December 14, 1999. The cost of the temporary casino, including land and
capitalized interest but excluding preopening expenses, was approximately $150
million. This cost was financed pursuant to the joint venture's $150 million
credit facility, which is secured by the assets associated with the temporary
casino. Mandalay has guaranteed this credit facility subject to the release of
the guaranty if certain performance measures are reached. The joint venture's
operation of the temporary casino is subject to ongoing regulatory oversight,
and its ability to proceed with a permanent hotel/casino facility is contingent
upon the receipt of all necessary gaming approvals and satisfaction of other
conditions.

         The Detroit joint venture is planning a $600 million permanent
hotel/casino facility. We have committed to contribute 20% of this amount in the
form of equity, and the joint venture will seek project-specific funding for the
balance of the cost. The development agreement provides that we will guarantee
completion of the permanent facility and will enter into a keep- well guarantee
with the city, pursuant to which we could be required to contribute additional
funds, if and as needed, to continue operation of the project for a period of
two years. This keep-well agreement also applies to the temporary casino.
Mandalay has issued letters of credit totaling $50 million for the benefit of
Bank of America in order to back letters of credit issued by Bank of America for
the same total amount. The Bank of America letters of credit were issued to
secure payments of principal and interest on bonds issued by the Economic
Development Corporation of the City of Detroit. The proceeds of

(8)      Commitments and contingent liabilities (continued) -

the bonds are to be used to finance costs associated with activities (including
acquisition) relating to the land on which the permanent facility will be built.

         Various lawsuits have been filed in the state and federal courts
challenging the constitutionality of the Detroit Casino Competitive Selection
Process and the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and seeking to appeal
the issuance of a certificate of suitability to MotorCity Casino. No assurance
can be given regarding the timing and outcome of these proceedings. An adverse
ruling in any of these lawsuits could adversely impact the status of our joint
venture's operation of the temporary facility, as well as its ability to obtain
a certificate of suitability and a casino license for its permanent facility.

         The Company is a defendant in various pending litigation. In
management's opinion, the ultimate outcome of such litigation will not have a
material effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the
Company.

Item 2.           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                  Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the quarter ended July 31, 2000, we reported net income of $38.1 million, or
$.48 per diluted share, versus $23.6 million, or $.26 per diluted share, for the
same quarter last year. For the six months, net income was $86.9 million, or
$1.06 per diluted share, compared to $18.8 million, or $.20 per diluted share,
in the prior year.

The increases in earnings per share were due primarily to strong operating
results at all of our major properties, most notably our south Las Vegas Strip
properties and Grand Victoria in Elgin, Illinois (a 50%-owned joint venture).
The contribution from MotorCity Casino (a 53.5%-owned joint venture which opened
December 14, 1999 in Detroit, Michigan) was also a factor.

For the second quarter, current year results include preopening expenses of $1.6
million ($.01 per diluted share) related primarily to our new aquarium
attraction, the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay (which opened June 20), while prior
year results include preopening expenses of $4.3 million ($.03 per diluted
share) related primarily to MotorCity Casino.

For the six months, current year results include preopening expenses of $1.8
million ($.01 per diluted share) related primarily to the Shark Reef at Mandalay
Bay, while prior year results include preopening expenses of $71.7 million ($.51
per diluted share) related primarily to Mandalay Bay and MotorCity Casino
(including the write-off of $33.8 million of previously capitalized preopening
costs).

REVENUES

Revenues increased $131.2 million, or 25%, for the three months ended July 31,
2000, and $299.6 million, or 30%, for the six months, versus the corresponding
periods last year. All of our major wholly owned and joint venture properties
generated higher revenues during the quarter and six months. On a same store
basis, we experienced increases in all major revenue categories, most notably
hotel and casino revenues.

The overall increase was attributable primarily to MotorCity Casino, which
produced $86.8 million in revenues in the quarter and $165.4 million in the six
months, and to Mandalay Bay, whose revenues increased $20.2 million, or 18%, for
the quarter and

                                   (continued)

$77.6 million, or 40%, for the six months. Other significant contributors were
Luxor (up $7.8 million, or 9%, for the quarter, and $17.0 million, or 9%, for
the six months), Excalibur (up $7.4 million, or 10%, for the quarter, and $12.7
million, or 9%, for the six months) and Circus Circus-Las Vegas (up $4.0
million, or 6%, for the quarter, and $6.7 million, or 5%, for the six months).
Meanwhile, the contribution from the 50%-owned Grand Victoria also rose (up $4.1
million, or 39%, for the quarter and $10.4 million, or 54%, for the six months).

The increases in revenues at Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur and Circus
Circus-Las Vegas were driven by increases in the number of visitors to Las
Vegas. For the six months, Mandalay Bay also benefitted from an additional month
of operations versus the prior year, when it opened March 2, 1999. Meanwhile,
Grand Victoria benefitted from dockside gaming operations this year versus
cruising operations throughout most of the prior year periods.

We record our share of the operating income of our unconsolidated joint ventures
(Grand Victoria, Monte Carlo and Silver Legacy) as revenue under "Earnings of
Unconsolidated Affiliates." Results of MotorCity Casino are consolidated for
financial reporting purposes.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2000, income from operations rose
$40.8 million, or 52%, and $109.2 million, or 77%, compared to the same periods
a year ago. Income from operations was negatively impacted by preopening
expenses of $1.6 million and $1.8 million in the three and six months ended July
31, 2000, and $4.3 million and $37.9 million in the same periods last year. The
composite operating margin was 18.5% and 19.5% for the three and six months
ended July 31, 2000 versus 15.3% and 14.3% for the comparable periods in the
prior year. A discussion of operating results by market follows.

LAS VEGAS

Our Las Vegas properties posted an overall increase in operating income of $20.4
million, or 38%, during the second quarter, and $63.2 million, or 66%, for the
six months. At Mandalay Bay operating income increased $7.3 million in the
second quarter and $36.8 million for the six months. The increases at Mandalay
Bay (as well as our Las Vegas properties as a whole) were impacted by

                                    (continued)

preopening expenses of $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and six
months in the current year, compared to $30.8 million in the six months last
year.

Excalibur was a strong contributor with operating income rising $5.6 million, or
35%, in the quarter, and $10.5 million, or 30%, in the six months. Luxor was
also a significant contributor, producing increases of $3.1 million, or 18%, and
$9.5 million, or 25%, in the three and six months. Moreover, operating income at
Circus Circus-Las Vegas rose $2.3 million, or 20%, and $3.2 million, or 14%, in
the three and six month periods, while Monte Carlo's contribution to operating
income rose $1.4 million, or 19%, and $2.0 million, or 12%.

The strong year-over-year increases in operating income at our Las Vegas
properties were driven by an uptrend in the number of visitors to the Las Vegas
Strip. In the second quarter, revenue per available room (REVPAR) rose an
average $13 at our Strip properties, led by Mandalay Bay, whose average room
rate increased 25% to $143, with occupancy rising seven percentage points to
93%. For the year-to-date period, REVPAR at our Strip properties was up an
average of $11.

RENO

In Reno, our combined operating income (Circus Circus-Reno plus our 50% interest
in Silver Legacy) was flat for the second quarter compared against the prior
year, and was up 18% for the six months. In the prior year we recorded
approximately two-thirds of Silver Legacy's operating income as a priority
return on our investment. This priority return is not in effect in the current
year and, consequently, we recorded our normal 50% of Silver Legacy's operating
income. Had we recorded 50% (rather than our priority two-thirds) of Silver
Legacy's operating income in the prior year, results for the three and six
months ended July 31, 2000 would have reflected increases of 18% and 42% from
the prior year. Both Circus Circus-Reno and Silver Legacy posted REVPAR
increases, as well as increases in casino revenue. Reno hosts national bowling
tournaments two out of every three years, and this year the city hosted the
women's national tournament (March through July), while it did not host a
tournament in the prior year.

LAUGHLIN

Our two Laughlin properties, Colorado Belle and Edgewater, posted a combined
increase in operating income of 3% in the second quarter and 8% in the six
months. This market has been on a general uptrend over the past few years, as
visitor counts to Laughlin have increased. While these properties experienced
slight increases in REVPAR, the increases in operating income were driven
primarily by lower expenses, stemming from tighter cost controls.

OTHER MARKETS

Our newest property, MotorCity Casino in Detroit, Michigan, delivered operating
income of $13.7 million and $24.7 million in the three and six months ended July
31, 2000. See "Financial Position and Capital Resources" for additional details
regarding our Detroit operation.

In Tunica County, Mississippi, operating income at Gold Strike rose 17% in the
quarter, and 23% year-to-date. Casino revenues grew 10% in the quarter and the
six months, as this property continued to increase its market share.

Our share of income from operations at Grand Victoria (a 50%- owned riverboat
casino in Elgin, Illinois) reflected a $4.1 million increase in the second
quarter and a $10.5 million increase for the six months. The current year
periods have benefitted from dockside gaming compared against cruising
operations for much of the prior-year periods. Dockside gaming was approved in
late June 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2000, interest expense (excluding
unconsolidated joint venture interest expense and before capitalized interest)
rose $12.2 million and $22.2 million versus the prior year periods. The increase
was due primarily to higher average borrowings (approximately $2.8 billion in
the current quarter and six months against approximately $2.5 billion in the
same periods last year) related to the purchase of approximately 14.4 million
shares of our common stock during the current year and $135 million in
borrowings associated with MotorCity Casino, which is consolidated for financial
reporting purposes. Capitalized

interest was $1.3 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended
July 31, 2000 versus $1.8 million and $9.5 million a year ago. Long-term debt at
July 31, 2000 stood at $2.8 billion compared to nearly $2.5 billion at July 31,
1999.

We also recorded interest expense related to unconsolidated joint venture
projects of $2.8 million and $5.5 million in the quarter and six months ended
July 31, 2000 compared to $2.8 million and $5.6 million in the previous year.
This reflects our 50% share of the interest expense of Silver Legacy and Monte
Carlo.

INCOME TAX

The effective tax rate was approximately 37.5% for the three and six months
ended July 31, 2000 compared with 34.8% and 37.1% for the same periods in the
prior year. This rate reflects the corporate statutory rate of 35% plus the
effect of various nondeductible expenses, primarily the amortization of
goodwill.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Mandalay had cash and cash equivalents of $122.5 million at July 31, 2000,
representing normal daily operating requirements. For the six months ended July
31, 2000, net cash provided by operations was $258.1 million versus $115.2
million in the same period a year ago. The increase was driven primarily by
improved operating results as discussed previously.

Cash flow from operations (EBITDA), was $176.4 million and $361.7 million for
the three and six months ended July 31, 2000 versus $127.8 million and $233.5
million for the same periods last year. EDITDA was negatively impacted by
preopening expenses of $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and six
months ended July 31, 2000, and $4.3 million and $37.9 million for the
comparable periods last year. In this context, EBITDA is defined as income from
operations plus depreciation and amortization, and is being included because
many investors consider it a valuable measure since it factors out the impact of
depreciation and goodwill amortization, the principal noncash expenses affecting
income. EBITDA is not a GAAP measure of performance and should not be considered
an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.

During the six months ended July 31, 2000, we purchased 14.4 million shares of
common stock at a cost of $242.7 million. We used our cash flow to fund a
portion of this cost. See "Liquidity" for further discussion of our share
repurchase

activity. In the prior year, our cash flow was used primarily to fund
construction of Mandalay Bay and other miscellaneous construction projects.

CAPITAL SPENDING

Capital expenditures for the quarter and six months ended July 31, 2000 were
$30.6 million and $63.2 million, of which $7.8 million and $22.4 million related
to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, our new saltwater aquarium attraction which
opened June 20, 2000, and $3.6 million and $3.8 million related to the
renovation of a portion of the pyramid rooms at Luxor.

RECENT FINANCINGS

On July 24, 2000, the Company issued $500 million principal amount of 10-1/4%%
Senior Subordinated Notes due August 2007. The notes are not subject to any
sinking fund requirements. The net proceeds from this offering were used to
repay a portion of the borrowings under our credit facility.

On August 16, 2000, the Company issued $200 million principal amount of 9-1/2%
Senior Notes due August 2008. The notes are not subject to any sinking fund
requirements. The net proceeds from this offering were also used to repay a
portion of the borrowings under our credit facility.

NEW PROJECTS

SHARK REEF AT MANDALAY BAY

On March 2, 1999, we opened Mandalay Bay, a 43-story hotel/casino resort in Las
Vegas, Nevada. Mandalay Bay is part of Masterplan Mile, our development property
with approximately one mile of frontage on the Las Vegas Strip. The property is
the site of our Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur resorts. Our development plan
for Masterplan Mile includes various core components which will be
cross-marketed to guests at our existing and future hotel/casinos within this
resort development. These core components include an aquarium exhibit, the SHARK
REEF AT MANDALAY BAY, which opened June 20, 2000. The cost of the aquarium
(excluding land, capitalized interest and preopening expenses) was approximately
$45 million, all of which had been incurred as of July 31, 2000. We may add
other core components to our development plan for Masterplan Mile in the future.

DETROIT

We have formed a joint venture with the Detroit-based Atwater Casino Group to
build, own and operate a hotel/casino in Detroit, Michigan. This joint venture
is one of three groups which negotiated development agreements with the city. We
had an initial 45% ownership interest in the joint venture. Effective December
14, 1999, we acquired an additional 8.5% interest at a cost of $38.4 million,
thus increasing our total ownership interest to 53.5%.

Pending the development of a permanent hotel/casino, the joint venture
constructed a temporary casino (MotorCity Casino) in downtown Detroit, which
opened December 14, 1999. The cost of the temporary casino, including land and
capitalized interest but excluding preopening expenses, was approximately $150
million. This cost was financed pursuant to the joint venture's $150 million
credit facility, which is secured by the assets associated with the temporary
casino. Mandalay has guaranteed this credit facility subject to the release of
the guaranty if certain performance measures are reached. The joint venture's
operation of the temporary casino is subject to ongoing regulatory oversight,
and its ability to proceed with a permanent hotel/casino facility is contingent
upon the receipt of all necessary gaming approvals and satisfaction of other
conditions.

The Detroit joint venture is planning a $600 million permanent hotel/casino
facility. We have committed to contribute 20% of this amount in the form of
equity, and the joint venture will seek project-specific funding for the balance
of the cost. The development agreement provides that we will guarantee
completion of the permanent facility and will enter into a keep-well guarantee
with the city, pursuant to which we could be required to contribute additional
funds, if and as needed, to continue operation of the project for a period of
two years. This keep- well agreement also applies to the temporary casino.
Mandalay has issued letters of credit totaling $50 million for the benefit of
Bank of America in order to back letters of credit issued by Bank of America for
the same total amount. The Bank of America letters of credit were issued to
secure payments of principal and interest on bonds issued by the Economic
Development Corporation of the City of Detroit. The proceeds of the bonds are to
be used to finance costs associated with activities (including acquisition)
relating to the land on which the permanent facility will be built.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations (Unaudited) (continued)

          Various lawsuits have been filed in the state and federal courts
challenging the constitutionality of the Detroit Casino Competitive Selection
Process and the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and seeking to appeal
the issuance of a certificate of suitability to MotorCity Casino. No assurance
can be given regarding the timing and outcome of these proceedings. An adverse
ruling in any of these lawsuits could adversely impact the status of our joint
venture's operation of the temporary facility, as well as its ability to obtain
a certificate of suitability and a casino license for its permanent facility.

          Our Detroit joint venture, together with MGM Grand Detroit LLC, is
currently negotiating a collective bargaining agreement with the Detroit Casino
Council, a consortium of unions representing a number of the two companies'
Detroit employees. The joint venture has been advised that the Detroit Casino
Council has scheduled an employee meeting to seek an authorization from the
employees to advise management that the employees are willing to strike or take
other economic action in the event that a collective bargaining agreement is not
reached. Negotiations are ongoing and we can give no assurance either that a
contract will be reached or, if reached, will be ratified, or what actions may
be taken if a contract is not ratified (which actions could include a strike,
picketing, and/or temporary or permanent cessation of casino operations).

MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST

          We have announced that we plan to develop a hotel-casino resort on the
Mississippi Gulf Coast at the north end of the Bay of St. Louis, near the
DeLisle exit on Interstate 10. It is currently anticipated that the resort will
include as many as 1,500 hotel rooms and require an investment of approximately
$225 million. Certain of the approvals to commence development which we had
previously received have been successfully challenged in federal court. We will
not commence the design and construction of this resort prior to a satisfactory
resolution of all legal actions and our receipt of all necessary permits and
approvals. As presently contemplated, we will own 90% of the resort and a
partner will contribute the land in exchange for the remaining 10% interest.

LIQUIDITY

          Based on our operating cash flows, credit facility and ability to
raise additional funds through debt or equity markets, we believe we have
sufficient capital resources to meet all of our existing cash obligations, fund
our capital commitments on projects under way and strategically purchase shares
of our common stock. As of July 31, 2000, under our most restrictive loan
covenant, we could issue additional debt of approximately $665 million. Our
borrowing capacity under this covenant can fluctuate substantially from quarter
to quarter depending upon our operating cash flow.

          In May 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
15% (or approximately 11.7 million) of the outstanding shares of common stock,
as market conditions and other factors warrant. As of the date hereof, we have
purchased approximately 1.8 million shares pursuant to this authorization at a
cost of approximately $39.1 million. Pursuant to this authorization, we have
entered into agreements with Bank of America which provide for the purchase, in
accordance with the volume and other limitations of Rule 10b-18, of up to $100
million of our outstanding common stock by Bank of America over a period ending
not later than January 5, 2001. These agreements further provide that we will
purchase these shares from Bank of America at its cost (plus accrued fees) one
year following completion of the acquisition of the stock by Bank of America. We
may terminate Bank of America's acquisition of stock pursuant to these
agreements at any time. Although our current intention is to purchase the shares
at completion of the agreement, we may elect to net settle our obligation in
cash or shares (i.e., pay cash or deliver additional shares or receive cash or
shares).
