                   NEVSTAR GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The financial statements included herein include the accounts of NevStar Gaming
& Entertainment Corporation (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation. In the
opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments considered necessary for
fair presentation have been reflected in the financial statements. These
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Results for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of those expected
for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements have been
prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information
have either read or have access to the Company's audited financial statements
and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996, included in
Amendment No. 6 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2
(Registration No. 333-518-LA) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on August 20, 1997, ("Amendment No. 6"). Accordingly, footnote disclosures,
which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company's
December 31, 1996 audited financial statements, have been omitted from these
interim financial statements. 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
instructions. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
unaudited interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996,
included in Amendment No. 6.

Note 2 - Initial Public Offering

On September 24, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
1,725,000 units (the "Initial Public Offering") consisting of one share of
Common Stock and two redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants")
at $5.50 per unit. The registered holder of each Warrant may purchase, at any
time, over a five year period commencing on September 18, 1997, one share of the
Company's Common Stock at a price of $5.50 per share. Commencing 90 days from
September 18, 1997, the Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at
$.05 per Warrant on 30 days prior written notice to the Warrant holders, if the
closing price of the Common Stock as reported in the NASDAQ Automated Quotation
System Small Cap Market averages in excess of $11.00 for a period of 20
consecutive trading days ending with 15 days prior to the notice of redemption.
The net proceeds to the Company of the offering, after underwriting discounts,
commissions, and other costs associated with the offering was $7,886,060.
Offering Costs totaling $975,248 were expensed during the three

months ended September 30, 1996 due to a withdrawal of an initial public
offering during that period.

Note 3 - Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represents all amounts held in banks and money market
accounts and short term investments such as United States Treasury bill's with
maturities of less than three months. The United States Treasury Bill's fair
value approximates the cost.

Note 4 - Land and Construction in Process

Land and Construction in process consisted of the following:

                                                    ===========
</TABLE>

Construction of the facility was substantially curtailed from July 1996 to
September 30, 1997. Interest costs incurred during that period have been charged
to operations. Significant construction activity has resumed beginning October
1, 1997, and interest costs will begin being capitalized from that point.

Note 5 - Notes Payable

On September 24, 1997, the Company re-paid $1,462,144, representing the entire
outstanding principal and accrued interest, of certain bridge financing and
interim construction financing.

On September 30, 1997, the Company paid approximately $114,000 of accrued
interest on a $1,058,000 note payable to a former shareholder. The remaining
accrued interest of approximately $41,000 has been added to the principal amount
of the note. The due date of this note was extended to September 23, 1999.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, Drs. Richard R. Kelley and
Richard Tam agreed to extend the due date of $6,300,800 of notes payable to
September 23, 1999. In addition, accrued interest of approximately $960,000 has
been added to the principal amount of these notes and approximately $274,000 of
accrued default interest has been waived by Drs. Kelley and Tam. The
corresponding credit entry for this transaction was to additional paid-in
capital. In consideration of this extension, the Company issued to each of Drs.
Kelley and Tam warrants to acquire 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company
at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. Original issue discount in the amount
of $896,000 has been recorded during the third quarter of 1997 relating to the
granting of these warrants. Drs. Kelley and Tam are both shareholders of the
Company and Dr. Tam is a director of the Company.

Drs. Kelley and Tam forgave $450,000 of a $475,000 note payable (which was
issued as a loan extension fee by the Company and classified as other expenses
on the statement of




                                        7

operations in the second quarter of 1997) following the closing of the Initial
Public Offering. The corresponding credit entry for this transaction was to
additional paid-in capital.

In September 1997, the Company issued a $200,000 note payable which provides the
Company the option to purchase an indirect 20% interest in a 25-acre parcel of
unimproved real property in the city of North Las Vegas, Nevada (the "North Las
Vegas Option"). The corresponding debit entry for this transaction was to other
assets.

Note 6 - Capital Stock

In June 1997, the Company's shareholders approved a 9.54 for 1 reverse stock
split which became effective concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public
Offering. All share amounts and per share amounts presented in the financial
statements have been adjusted for this reverse stock split.

In June 1997, the Company delivered an exchange offer to the holders of its
Series A Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") which
gave them the right to exchange each of the Preferred Shares into Common Stock
at a ratio of .7 shares of Common Stock for every one Preferred Share. As of
September 30, 1997 1,368,343 Preferred Shares have been exchanged for 957,840
shares of Common Stock and Capital Stock has been adjusted accordingly.

Note 7 - Stock Options, Warrants and Other Rights

During the third quarter of 1997, the Company granted Dr. Tam warrants to
purchase 79,839 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.25 for various services provided to the Company. Approximately $342,000 of
consulting expenses (and a corresponding credit entry to additional paid in
capital) was recorded during the third quarter of 1997 relating to this
transaction. In addition, the Company granted Dr. Tam warrants to purchase
20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per
share for assisting with the arrangement of the North Las Vegas Option. The
Company recorded approximately $57,000 in other assets (and a corresponding
credit entry to additional paid in capital) in the third quarter of 1997
relating to this transaction.

In July 1997, options to purchase 159,758 shares of Common Stock previously
granted to officers and a consultant were canceled and replaced by granting
1,100,000 options under the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan with the
modification of certain terms. 877,942 of these options vest over five years, or
sooner if the Company achieves certain operating results, and 222,058 of these
options vest upon commencement of operations of the Mesquite Star. Additional
compensation and consulting expense (and a corresponding credit entry to
additional paid-in capital) of approximately $500,000 will be recorded as
compensation and consulting expense as services are provided. Approximately
$56,000 of expense was recorded during the third quarter of 1997 along with a
corresponding credit entry to additional paid in capital.




                                        8

Note 8 - Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding. The Common Stock
equivalents consist of the 5,520,679 shares of outstanding warrants and options.
These Common Stock equivalents have been included in the weighted average number
of shares as if they had been outstanding at the beginning of January 1, 1996
pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4.D. In addition, Common Stock and
Common Stock equivalents also includes 957,840 shares of Common Stock that were
issued in the third quarter of 1997 in connection with the exchange offer made
to the preferred shareholders in June 1997.

The weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (which
includes the 957,840 shares of Common Shares issued as a result of the exchange
offer referred to above) was 1,491,383 shares for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1,715,027 shares and 2,309,691 shares for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and three months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively. The incremental shares attributed to outstanding options and
warrants was 538,475 shares for each period presented on the Statement of
Operations.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Forward Looking Statements

It should be noted, that this document contains certain forward-looking
statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
statements include certain information relating to the Company's general
business strategy, expansion plans, new opportunities, projected operating
performance and liquidity, as well as information contained elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report where statements involve the use of the word "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or expressions of similar import. For such
statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this document are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause the assumptions underlying such
forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in or implied by the statements. The most important factors that
could prevent the Company from achieving its goals and cause the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements and the actual results of the Company
to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking
statements include, without limitation and in addition to those discussed in the
various documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the following: (i) the highly competitive nature of the public
gaming and entertainment market, which includes the market for small to medium
size or niche hotel/casinos, in which the Company plans to operate and the
ability of the Company to successfully compete in this market with other
hotel/casino companies for the most desirable hotel/casino customers and share
of the geographical market; (ii) the ability of the Company to successfully
implement its expansion strategy; (iii) the need to raise future working capital
and




                                        9

<PAGE>   10
the uncertainty of additional funding (whether through financial markets,
collaborative or other arrangements with strategic partners, or from other
sources); (iv) the speculative nature of other gaming projects; (v) dependence
on key personnel; and (vi) the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash
flows, operating profits, and other income in order to fulfill its obligations
for repayment of debt.

Overview

The Company is a development stage company incorporated in Nevada on December 2,
1993 for the purpose of developing, constructing, owning and managing
hotel/casino facilities. The Company has no revenues from operations to date.
The Company's only source of revenues since its incorporation has been interest
income. The Company has accumulated losses from operations of $8,181,294 since
its incorporation on December 2, 1993, through September 30, 1997. The Company's
initial hotel/casino project will be known as the Mesquite Star (the "Mesquite
Star") and will be located in Mesquite, Nevada. The Mesquite Star will consist
of 210 hotel rooms and suites, with a swimming pool and spa, and public area of
approximately 34,300 square feet, featuring approximately 12,000 square feet of
casino space initially containing 440 slot machines, 10 table games and Keno,
one specialty restaurant, one cocktail lounge, one coffee shop/buffet, a video
arcade and a gift shop. For the Company to commence business and begin
generating operating revenues at the Mesquite Star, receipt of necessary gaming
licenses, securing of all additional vendor and third party financing, and
implementation of the Company's marketing plans are necessary.

Current Status

The Mesquite Star property has been cleared, graded and improved with the public
area foundation, footings and pilings, and erection of prefabricated steel for
the casino building. In addition, rough plumbing and underground electrical is
completed with respect to the casino and hotel. Also, elevators for both the
hotel and casino have been drilled and cased. The steel framing for the casino
roof has been completed, as well as the steel framing of the porte'cochere.
Significant additional construction is currently underway at the site.

Licensing

The ownership and operations of casinos in Nevada are highly regulated. The
Company, its directors, officers and principal stockholder will need to be
licensed and found suitable by the gaming authorities in Nevada and must provide
detailed personal history, financial and other reports to such authorities. The
Company, certain of its directors and officers and its principal stockholder
have applied for the necessary licenses to own or operate the Mesquite Star.
Additional related and supplemental documents are expected to be filed shortly.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company or such persons will be
licensed, found suitable or granted the other approvals that are necessary to
commence gaming operations. The failure of the Company or any one of the
foregoing persons to be registered, licensed or found suitable by the Nevada
gaming authorities will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Mesquite Star

October 1997 - March 1998

The Company's plan of operation for the next six months will be directed toward
the construction of the Mesquite Star, and the preparation of the Mesquite Star
for opening to the public. For the period of October 1997 through March 1998,
the Company plans pursue obtaining bids for furniture, fixtures and equipment
related to the Mesquite Star's casino, restaurant, and hotel facilities;
researching and locating third-party software programs for accounting, gaming,
food and beverage, and the hotel facilities; and developing and drafting the
operating policies and procedures for the Mesquite Star, employee guidelines and
policies, the first year business plan for operations, and the first year
advertising and marketing plan.

The Company has begun hiring senior management in stages, including the
Vice-President and General Manager, the Director of Finance, and the Food and
Beverage Manager. The Company has initiated a search for a Chief Financial
Officer and a Human Resources Manager. During this same period, senior
management will begin staffing the middle management positions. As the Company
is able to target the opening of the facility with greater certainty, which is
currently expected to be in April 1998, the Company will implement a 13-week
staffing and training plan for all other Mesquite Star employees, which is
estimated to be approximately 350 employees.

April 1998 - September 1998

Beginning in April 1998, the Mesquite Star is expected to be open to the public
and the Company's plan of operations will be followed as an ongoing business in
accordance with the Company's policies and procedures, and management's
strategic plan, business plan, and marketing plan. There can be no assurance
that the Company's plan of operation and opening of the Mesquite Star will be
implemented in accordance with the above timetable.

North Las Vegas Option

In September 1997, the Company issued a $200,000 note payable, due on March 15,
1998, which provides the Company the option to purchase an indirect 20% interest
in a 25-acre parcel of unimproved real property in the city of North Las Vegas,
Nevada. Upon payment of this note, these funds are expected to be used for
planning, engineering, promotional expenses and design work with respect to this
project and are non-refundable and not applicable to the option purchase price,
but are reimburseable in connection with the development and financing of the
project.




                                       11

<PAGE>   12
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since its inception, the Company has funded its capital requirements through the
sale of securities to private investors and the proceeds of secured loans. The
Company plans to use the $7,886,060 of net proceeds received from its Initial
Public Offering, $5,000,000 of secured financing and $5,788,000 of equipment
financing to meet its significantly greater cash needs in 1997 and 1998 relating
to completion of construction and commencement of operation of the Mesquite
Star. The construction expenses are estimated to be approximately $8,000,000;
the acquisition of furniture, fixtures and equipment estimated at $6,415,000;
and pre-opening expenses estimated at $1,450,000, including the significant
increase in payroll expenses, as the Company expands to approximately 350
employees at opening of the Mesquite Star. The Company believes that proceeds
received from its Initial Public Offering, together with secured financing and
equipment financing, will be sufficient to cover working capital requirements
through July 1998. Although the Company may have operating revenues from the
Mesquite Star following its opening, the Company will likely need to raise
additional funds from the net proceeds of the exercise of the Warrants,
additional debt financing, the sale of additional equity securities or otherwise
prior to September 1998 to continue to implement its business plan, including
the North Las Vegas Option. There can be no assurance the Company will be able
to generate sufficient funds from these or other sources.

Current Accounting Developments

Effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997, the Company will be required to implement FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings
per Share. The Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock
or potential common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS and also requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex
capital structures. The Company has not determined what effect the adoption of
this Statement will have on its EPS calculation.

The FASB has also issued Statement No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. Statement No. 131 modifies the disclosure
requirements for reportable segments and is effective for the Company's fiscal
year ending December 31, 1998. The Company has not determined the effect the
adoption of this Statement would have on the Company's financial statements.

Year 2000 Contingency Disclosed

The Company is aware that its computer systems may include the systems that
could be affected by time-sensitive software which may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The Company presently believes
that, with modifications to existing software and converting to new software,
the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems for the
Company's computer systems as so modified and converted.
