                        Report of Independent Accountants
                       ---------------------------------

To the Stockholder of Waterford Gaming Finance Corp.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Waterford Gaming
Finance Corp. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2002, and the related condensed
statements of operations and retained earnings (deficit) for each of the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, and the related
condensed statements of cash flows for each of the six-month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed interim financial statements for them to
be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, and
the related statements of operations and retained earnings (deficit) and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated
March 20, 2002 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

                         WATERFORD GAMING Finance Corp.

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)
                                  -----------
1.      Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the policies described in Waterford Gaming Finance Corp.'s (the
"Company") 2001 audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with the Company's 2001 audited financial statements within the Company's Annual
Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 on Form 10-K as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") File No. 333-17795-01
on March 28, 2002. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2001, contained
herein, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures contained in the Form 10-K and required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited condensed
interim financial statements include normal and recurring adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of June 30, 2002, the results of operations and retained earnings
(deficit) for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 and of cash flows for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001. Results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waterford Gaming, L.L.C. ("Gaming").
Effective as of May 15, 1997, the Company functioned as a co-issuer with its
parent, Gaming, to issue $65 million 12-3/4% senior notes payable (the "$65

the Company's and Gaming's $125 million 9-1/2% senior notes (the "$125 Million
Senior Notes") offering which was completed on March 17, 1999.


2.      $125 Million 9-1/2% Senior Notes Payable:

after March 14, 2008, 100.864% after March 14, 2009, and to 100% after March 14,
2010) of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. The $125 Million

principal amount thereof plus accrued interest.

If the Company and Gaming have any Company Excess Cash, as defined, they must

to 108.636% after March 14, 2000, 107.773% after March 14, 2001, 106.909% after
March 14, 2002, 106.045% after March 14, 2003, 105.182% after March 14, 2004,
104.318% after March 14, 2005, 103.455% after March 14, 2006, 102.591% after

and to 100.00% after March 14, 2010). On February 1, 2001 the Company and Gaming

$125 Million Senior Notes totaling approximately $6,173,000 and accordingly on
March 15, 2001 the Company and Gaming made a mandatory redemption of the $125

option to buy or sell partnership interests in TCA, the Company and Gaming must
redeem the $125 Million Senior Notes.

The indenture relating to the $125 Million Senior Notes (the "Indenture")
contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customarily contained in
agreements of this type, including without limitation, covenants that restrict,
subject to specified exceptions the Company's and Gaming's ability to (i) borrow
money, (ii) pay dividends on stock or make certain other restricted payments,
(iii) use assets as security in other transactions, (iv) make investments, (v)
sell other assets or merge with other companies and (vi) engage in any business
except as currently conducted or contemplated or amend their relationship with
TCA. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default and the
establishment of a restricted investment fund with a trustee for interest
reserves.

Part II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 -- Legal Proceedings:

On January 6, 1998, Leisure Resort Technology,  Inc.  ("Leisure") and defendants
Waterford Gaming,  L.L.C., Trading Cove Associates,  LMW Investments,  Inc., and
Slavik Suites,  Inc.  settled a prior lawsuit brought by Leisure.  In connection
with this  settlement,  Leisure and Trading Cove Associates,  Waterford  Gaming,
L.L.C., LMW Investments, Inc., and Slavik Suites, Inc. entered into a settlement
and release  agreement.  Pursuant  to this  settlement  and  release  agreement,
Waterford Gaming,  L.L.C.  bought out Leisure's  beneficial  interest in Trading
Cove Associates.

By complaint dated January 7, 2000, as amended February 4, 2000, Leisure filed a
four count complaint naming as defendants Waterford Gaming, L.L.C., Trading Cove
Associates, LMW Investments, Inc., Slavik Suites, Inc., Waterford Group, L.L.C.,
Len Wolman and Mark Wolman (collectively, the "Defendants"). The matter has been
transferred to the complex litigation docket and is pending in Waterbury,
Connecticut. The complaint alleged breach of fiduciary duties, fraudulent
non-disclosure, violation of Connecticut Statutes Section 42-110a, et seq., and
unjust enrichment in connection with the negotiation by certain of the
Defendants of the settlement and release agreement. The complaint also brought a
claim for an accounting. The complaint seeks unspecified legal and equitable
damages. On February 29, 2000, Defendants filed a Motion to Strike and a Motion
for Summary Judgement, each with respect to all claims. The Court granted
Defendants' Motion to Strike in part and denied Defendants' Motion for Summary
Judgement, on October 13, 2000. The Court's order dismissed the claim for an
accounting and the claim under Connecticut Statutes Section 42-110a, et seq. The
Court also struck the alter ego allegations in the complaint against LMW
Investments, Inc., Slavik Suites, Inc., Len Wolman and Mark Wolman. In a
decision dated August 6, 2001, the Court dismissed all claims against LMW
Investments, Inc., Slavik Suites, Inc., Len Wolman and Mark Wolman.

On November 15, 2000, Waterford Gaming, L.L.C. and its co-defendants answered
the complaint. In addition, Waterford Gaming, L.L.C. and Trading Cove Associates
asserted counterclaims for breach of the settlement and release agreement and
breach of the implied covenant of good faith against Leisure and its president,
Lee Tyrol. In a decision dated June 6, 2001, the Court dismissed the
counterclaims against Lee Tyrol.

Discovery has commenced. Pursuant to the current scheduling order, all
depositions are to be completed by January 28, 2003. A trial date has not been
set.

Waterford Gaming, L.L.C. believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends
to vigorously contest the claims in this action and to assert all available
defenses. At the present time, Waterford Gaming, L.L.C. is unable to express an
opinion on the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to give an estimate of
the amount or range of potential loss to Waterford Gaming, L.L.C. as a result of
this litigation due to the disputed issues of law and/or facts on which the
outcome of this litigation depends and due to the infancy of both the action and
discovery in the action.
