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.

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.

Acquisition

On July 1, 2000, the Company acquired a 60% interest in Poker Digest, LLC
for 301,500 shares of restricted common stock in a business combination
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The remaining 40%
interest will be held by the founders of Poker Digest, LLC, who will
continue to operate the Company.  Poker Digest, LLC is the holding company
for Poker Digest magazine, a biweekly magazine focusing on the poker and
card club niche market of the gaming industry, and Classic Poker Cruises,
which organizes seven- and ten-day poker cruises with existing cruise
lines.  Goodwill of approximately $453,000 was recorded in connection with
the acquisition and will be amortized over a 10-year period.  Pro forma
results of operations have not been presented for the acquisition because
the effect of the acquisition was not material to the Company.  The
results of operations of Poker Digest, LLC are included in the Company's
condensed consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition.

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) 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, 1999.

3 - BARTER TRANSACTIONS

The Company accounts for barter transactions in accordance with EITF 93-
11, "Accounting for Barter Transaction Involving Barter Credits", and APB
No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions", which require that the
fair value of the nonmonetary asset exchanged be used in recording the
nonmonetary transactions.

On January 17, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to render
advertising services in exchange for video production services for
$234,000.  These videos will be used primarily in the promotion of the
Company's magazines.  As of September 30, 2000, the Company has provided
advertising services of $182,000 and deferred the remaining $52,000 until
the advertisement services are provided.  In addition, the Company
distributed promotional videos with a cost of approximately $145,000,
which was recognized as promotion expense in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000.  The cost of the remaining videos has been deferred
and will be recognized as expense when distributed.


4 - GOODWILL

Goodwill represents cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired in
the merger transactions, and is being amortized over periods of 10 to 15
years.  The Company periodically re-evaluates its recoverability.  In
management's opinion, there has been no impairment of goodwill at
September 30, 2000.


5 - NOTES PAYABLE

of interest only, beginning May 1, 1999, at First Union National Bank's

                                      ========          ========

9 - RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements".  SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in
applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition
in financial statements.  The Company is continuing to evaluate the
potential impact of SAB 101 on the Company's results of operations and
financial position.  Based on the SEC's latest timeline for implementing
SAB 101, the Company would be required to comply with the guidelines in
the fourth quarter of 2000.

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", was issued in June 1998 and was subsequently amended by SFAS
No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133".  SFAS No. 133
addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging
activities.  Adoption of these pronouncements is required for the period
beginning on July 1, 2000.  The Company does not invest in derivative
instruments and, accordingly, does not expect these pronouncements to have
a material impact on the results of its operations.

PART I (cont.)

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
organization and sponsorship of major trade shows and conventions for
the gaming industry as well as 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.

Risk Factors and Cautionary Statements.   Forward-looking statements
in this report are made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.   The Company
wishes to advise readers that actual results may differ substantially
from such forward-looking statements.   Forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the
statements, including, but not limited to, the following:  the ability
of the Company to meet its cash and working capital needs, the ability
of the Company to successfully market its product, and other risks
detailed in the Company's periodic report filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

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 ("Gaming").  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.

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 the 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 (see Note 4 to the
Audited Financial Statements) plus transaction costs of $158,767.

Recent Acquisition.   On July 1, 2000, the Company acquired a 60% interest
in Poker Digest, LLC for 301,500 shares of restricted common stock in a
business combination accounted for under the purchase method of

Poker Digest, LLC, who will continue to operate the Company.  Poker
Digest, LLC is the holding company for Poker Digest magazine, a biweekly
magazine focusing on the poker and card club niche market of the gaming
industry, and Classic Poker Cruises, which organizes seven- and ten-day
poker cruises with existing cruise lines.  Goodwill of approximately
$453,000 was recorded in connection with the acquisition and will be
amortized over a 10-year period.  Pro forma results of operations have not
been presented for the acquisition because the effect of the acquisition
was not material to the Company.  The results of operations of Poker
