NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
                (Unaudited)

1 - ORGANIZATION

On April 3, 1998, the Company and its combined
affiliates merged with Gaming Venture Corp.,
U.S.A., a Nevada corporation ("Gaming").  The
Company and its combined affiliates became wholly
owned subsidiaries of Gaming, the legal acquiror.
As the shareholders of the Company and its
combined affiliates acquired approximately 65% of
Gaming's outstanding voting shares, the merger was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Gaming
by the Company, the accounting acquiror in the
transaction.  Simultaneous with the acquisition,
Gaming changed its name to Casino Journal
Publishing Group, Inc.

On January 10, 2001, the Company sold its trade
show and trade publication assets to GEM
Communications, LLC for approximately $2,625,000
of cash and a 10% ownership interest in the
purchaser valued at $1,800,000.  The Company
incurred approximately $165,000 of expenses in
connection with the sale.  The gain on the sale,
net of expenses and adjustments, of approximately
$3,700,000 is included in other income.

On July 1, 2000, the Company acquired a 60%
interest in Poker Digest, LLC.  The remaining 40%
interest is held by the founders of Poker Digest,
LLC, who continue to operate the company.


2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  They do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting primarily
of normal recurring adjustments)


<PAGE>8

considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  The results of operations for the
periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements and Form 10KSB for the year
ended December 31, 2000.

The condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and all of its
wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries.  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.

3 - PER SHARE DATA

Basic and diluted earnings(loss) per share is
computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods.  Stock warrants
and options have been excluded from the diluted
loss per share and have not been presented because
their effect would have been antidilutive.  The
effect of stock options and warrants on 2001 and
2000 earnings per share is not material.

Item  2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations:

Trends and Uncertainties.     Inasmuch as a major
portion of the Company's activities is the
publishing of magazines and newsletters primarily
for the U.S. gaming industry and its consumers,
the publishing of a mail order-catalog selling
various gaming-related products, and providing
consulting services, the Company's business
operations may be adversely affected by
competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.

Capital and Source of Liquidity.   On April 3,
1998, the Company and its combined affiliates
merged with Gaming Venture Corp., U.S.A., a Nevada
corporation.  The Company and its combined
affiliates became wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Gaming, the legal acquiror.   As the Company's and
its combined affiliates' shareholders acquired
approximately 65% of Gaming's outstanding voting
shares, the merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition of Gaming by the Company, the
accounting acquiror in the transaction.

On January 10, 2001, the Company sold its trade show
and trade publication assets to GEM Communications,
LLC for approximately $2,625,000 of cash and a 10%
ownership interest in the purchaser valued at
$1,800,000.  The Company incurred approximately
$165,000 of expenses in connection with the sale.
The gain on the sale, net of expenses and
adjustments, was approximately $3,700,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the sale
of the Company's trade show and trade publication
assets generated net cash of $2,243,006.   The
Company had a decrease in loan receivables from
shareholders and related parties of $19,536 and a
decrease in loans receivable from employees of
$18,111.  The Company purchased $24,751 worth of
equipment and had a decrease in marketable
securities of $27,685 and sold marketable
securities of $38,521.  As a result, the Company
had cash flow from investing activities of
$2,327,613 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company had an increase in loan receivables from
shareholders and related parties of $28,203 and an
increase in loans receivable from employees of
$577.  The Company purchased $74,385 worth of
equipment, and had an increase in marketable

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the
Company had a decrease in notes payable of
$15,000.   The Company made repayments of $4,558
on its long term debt and made repayments of
$3,000 to an affiliate and distributions of
$35,336 to minority interests.  As a result, the
Company had net cash flows used in financing
activities of $57,894 for the six months ended
June 30, 2001.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company had an increase in notes payable of
$101,226, which includes finance obligation of
