1	-	ORGANIZATION

The Company, with offices in Las Vegas, Nevada,
Atlantic City, New Jersey and Paramus, New Jersey,
publishes consumer gaming magazines and gaming
industry trade publications.

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 for
approximately $2,700,000 of cash, net of expenses,
and a 10% ownership interest in the purchaser, GEM
Communications, LLC, valued at $1,800,000.  The
gain on the sale was approximately $4,000,000.
This 10% investment is accounted for using the
cost method of accounting.  The management of the
Company has determined that an impairment loss on
the investment of $900,000 was required at
December 31, 2001, which was 50% of the original
cost.

On July 1, 2000, the Company acquired a 60%
interest in Poker Digest, LLC.  The remaining 40%
interests were acquired in 2001 and 2002, for
$210,000 in cash which resulted in a total cost of
$690,000.  Poker Digest, LLC publishes the Poker
Digest Magazine and sponsors gambling cruises.

On June 25, 2002, the Company sold the magazine
assets of Poker Digest, LLC for $800,000.  The
gain on the sale was approximately $295,000.  The
Company will continue to own and operate the
gambling cruise sponsor business.

3	-	PER SHARE DATA

Basic income (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.  Diluted income
per share is computed by dividing the net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock, stock warrants and options outstanding
during the period.  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 earnings per share is not
material.

stockholders' equity, net of applicable income
taxes.  Realized gains and losses and declines in
value deemed to be other than temporary on
available-for-sale securities are included in other
income (expense).  For the nine months ended

equity investments of $1,082,500 as a result of
declines in value deemed to be other than

indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit
to which goodwill relates is less than the carrying
value.  The Company is also required to make
periodic tests to determine whether there has been
any impairment in the value of recorded goodwill.

September 30, 2001 was approximately $84,000.

<PAGE>17

probably occur in future periods as the Company
attempts to further increase its marketing and
sales efforts.

Controls and Procedures.   The Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the
Company have made an evaluation of the disclosure
controls and procedures relating to the quarterly
report on Form 10QSB for the period ended September
30, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and have judged such controls and
procedures to be effective as of September 30, 2002
(the evaluation date).

There have not been any significant changes in the
internal controls of the Company or other factors
that could significantly affect internal controls
relating to the Company since the evaluation date.

Current Accounting Issues.   The Company adopted
the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which
prescribes accounting and reporting standards for
disposal of a business component.  As such, the
Company's component that has been disposed of is
presented as discontinued operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The
statement of operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001 has been restated
for comparative purposes.

In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities" (SFAS No. 146).   SFAS No. 146 requires
that a liability for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities be recognized when the
liability is incurred.   Existing generally
accepted accounting principles provide for the
recognition of such costs at the date of
management's commitment to an exit plan.   In
addition, SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability
be measured at fair value and be adjusted for
changes in estimated cash flows.

The provisions of the new standard are effective
for exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002.   It is not expected that SFAS
No. 146 will materially affect the financial
statements.
