1 - Acquisition
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.

The total cost of the acquisition was $3,726,235, consisting of the
purchase price of $3,217,468, measured by the 1,608,734 common shares
retained by Gaming's shareholders at their fair value at the closing
date of $2.00 per share, and the value of stock options ($350,000)
granted to shareholders of the Company, plus transaction costs of
$158,767.

Simultaneous with the acquisition, Gaming changed its name to Casino
Journal Publishing Group, Inc.

2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
June 30, 1999 and the related accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of income and cash flows include the results of
operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998 include the results
of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, and
of Gaming for the period beginning April 3, 1998. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and applicable SEC regulations. 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 of normal recurring
adjustments) 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 balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 has been derived from the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The accompanying financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the

3 - DEFERRED PROMOTION COSTS
The Company began several direct mailing programs in 1998. It accounts
for direct-response advertising costs in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 93-7,
"Reporting on Advertising Costs". The primary purpose of these programs
is to elicit sales from customers who can be shown to have responded
specifically to the advertising, which, accordingly, results in
probable future economic benefits. Direct-response advertising consists
primarily of printing, postage and promotional costs and will be
amortized over the estimated period of the future benefit using the
ratio of current period revenues to total current and estimated future
period revenues. Amortization of direct response advertising costs was
$106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and is included in
promotion expenses.

4 - Goodwill
Goodwill represents cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired
in the merger transaction, and is being amortized over 15 years. The
Company periodically re-evaluates its recoverability. In management's
opinion, there has been no impairment of goodwill at June 30, 1999.

5 - NOTE PAYABLE
The note payable of $100,000 is a demand note and requires monthly
payments of interest only, beginning May 1, 1998, at First Union
National Bank's prime rate plus 1%. Marketable securities owned by a
shareholder are collateral for the note. Interest expense was $5,281
and $4,894 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

consumer gaming festivals for specific resorts or casinos, the publishing of
a mail order-catalog selling various gaming-related products, the
development and operation of a daily 900 number hotline information  service
and providing consulting services, the Company's business operations may  be
adversely affected by competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.

In addition, the future exercise of any of the outstanding Warrants is
uncertain.    The lack of future exercise of the Class A or Class B Warrants
could negatively impact the Company's ability to successfully expand
operations.

and its combined affiliates' shareholders acquired approximately 65% of
Gaming's outstanding voting shares, the merger was accounted for as a

transaction.

The total cost of the acquisition was $3,726,235, consisting of the purchase

The Company is focusing on decreasing administrative costs.   However,
increased marketing expenses will probably occur in future periods as
the Company attempts to further increase its marketing and sales
efforts.

Impact of Year 2000.   The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer
programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year.   Any of the Company's computer programs that have time-
sensitive software may recognize a date using 000 as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000.

This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions
of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to
process transactions, send payments on invoices, or engage in similar normal
business activities.

The Company has initiated formal communications with its business venture
associates and affiliates to determine the extent to which the Company's
interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to
remediate their own Year 2000 issues.   There can be no guarantee that the
systems of other companies on which the Company's own systems may rely will
be timely converted and would not have an adverse effect on the Company's
systems.

The majority of the Company's computer systems and network are Macintosh
based The Y2K bug are not expected to affect Macintosh based systems.   The
Company's MIS Director has assessed the computer systems for the Company and
determined the overall systems to be Y2K ready.   The few PC computer
systems in the Company have been converted to newer computers that are
Certified Year 2000 compliant.   Some individual minor issues have been
addressed and will be resolved in the middle of 1999.   These issues would
not significantly affect the function of the Company in any case.


<PAGE>11

The Company believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for its computer systems.
