AMERICAN GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements include the accounts of American Gaming &
Entertainment, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"). The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all
adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) and disclosures
(including events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2000)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2000 may not be indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further
information, reference is also made to the Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 10-K").

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity
of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has
had a history of insufficient liquidity and has been dependent
upon Shamrock Holdings Group, Inc. and certain related entities
(collectively, "Shamrock") for both working capital and project
related financing.

The Company's recurring losses raise substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans concerning these matters are discussed in Note
2. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements do not include any additional adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 2:  LIQUIDITY AND CONTINUATION OF BUSINESS

The Company had available cash of approximately $214,000 as of
June 30, 2000. Such amount is anticipated to be sufficient for
the Company's budgeted costs through January 31, 2001. The
Company's ability to continue in business is primarily dependent
upon its ability to obtain sufficient funds for its operations.
However, the Company has no current commitments or prospects for
additional funds. If the Company does not receive additional
funds prior to January 31, 2001, it would then need to pursue a
formal plan of reorganization or liquidation. A formal plan of
reorganization or liquidation would generally result in the sale
of the Company's assets to satisfy outstanding obligations. There
can be no assurance that if either action is required to be
pursued that all such obligations would be completely satisfied.
Further, in the event of either


<PAGE 6>

action, it is unlikely that the stockholders of the Company will
recover any of their investment in the Company.

The Company maintains its cash accounts at a bank located in New
Jersey. Total cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100,000 per bank. The
Company had cash balances on deposit with the New Jersey bank at
June 30, 2000 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC in
the amount of approximately $114,000.

For a discussion of other specific factors affecting the
Company's liquidity and continuation of business, see the 1999
10-K.

NOTE 3:  RELATED PARTY ISSUES

As of June 30, 2000, Shamrock owns 100% of the outstanding shares
of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock") and
approximately 47.3% of the outstanding shares of the Common
Stock, thereby owning approximately 52.6% of the total voting
power represented by the Company's outstanding voting securities.
Additionally, Shamrock owns all of the outstanding shares of the
Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series C Stock"), Series D
Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series D Stock") and Series E
Preferred Stock ("Series E Stock").

Assuming that Shamrock converted as of June 30, 2000 that number
of shares of Series C Stock, Series D Stock and Series E Stock
convertible into the total number of the Company's presently
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (i.e. 284,589,870
shares), Shamrock would have owned as of that date approximately
97.8% of both the total outstanding shares of Common Stock and
the total voting power represented by the total outstanding
voting securities of the Company.

On July 21, 2000, Shamrock converted all outstanding shares of
the Series A Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock and Series E
Stock into 361,987,926 shares of Common Stock, or approximately
98.2% of both the total outstanding shares of Common Stock and
the total voting power represented by the total outstanding
voting securities of the Company, subject to a final order of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of New York (the
"Court"). The Court has set a hearing date on a motion to approve
the conversion of such preferred stock for  August 17, 2000.
Pursuant to such motion, approval of such conversion would be
subject to the Indiana Gaming Commission (the "IGC") approving
the sale by the Company of its interest in a riverboat gaming and
entertainment complex in Rising Sun, Indiana (the "RSR
Interest").

NOTE 4:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 28, 2000, three individuals (the "Buyers") entered into
Stock Purchase Agreements with Shamrock, pursuant to which the
Buyers agreed to purchase all of Shamrock's equity interest in
the Company, subject to a final order of the Court. As part of
such agreements, the Company agreed to appoint a Board of
Directors of at least three members designated by the Buyers upon
the closing of such agreements and provided certain business and
financial information about the Company. The Court has set a
hearing date on a motion to approve the Stock Purchase


<PAGE 7>

Agreements for August 17, 2000. Pursuant to such motion, approval
of the Stock Purchase Agreements would be subject to the IGC
approving the sale by the Company of the RSR Interest.

Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 28, 2000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations:  Comparison of the three month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

Costs and Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately
$137,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing a
decrease of approximately $12,000 or approximately 8% when
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. Such decrease
was primarily due to (i) decreases of approximately $16,000,
$14,000 and $8,000 in directors fees, salaries and
accounting/consulting fees, respectively and (ii) the payment of
$8,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1999 related to the
settlement of a lawsuit. These decreases were partially offset by
increases of approximately $25,000 and $13,000 in legal fees
(primarily associated with the transactions discussed in Notes 3
and 4 to the unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements)
and directors and officers liability insurance, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization costs primarily related to a casino
barge that was sold in August 1999 were approximately $189,000

distributions, dividends and proceeds of any type to which the
Company is entitled pursuant to or in connection with the RSR
Interest. Accordingly, no such interest income was recorded for
the three months ended June 30, 2000.

approximately $1,164,000 on debt owed to Shamrock. In November

net gain on sale of assets of $40,000 as the result of the
settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Company against the
purchaser of one of the Company's keno systems. The associated
account receivable had been written off in 1996.

June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

primarily due to decreases of approximately $31,000 and $40,000
in legal fees and directors fees, respectively, expenses of
approximately $174,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
related to a casino property in Reno, Nevada that was sold in

insurance premiums recorded in the six months ended June 30,
1999.

ended June 30, 2000.
