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

ITEM 3.   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 through 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 Courts order dismissed the claim for an
accounting and the claim under Connecticut Statues 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
counterclaim against Lee Tyrol.

Discovery has commenced. In a scheduling order dated August 9, 2001, the Court
directed the parties to report to the Court no later than March 29, 2002
regarding the feasibility of settlement, the estimated length of jury selection
and the estimated length of trial. 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.

4.   CONTINGENCIES:

     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 through 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 Courts order dismissed the claim for an
accounting and the claim under Connecticut Statues 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
counterclaim against Lee Tyrol.

Discovery has commenced. In a scheduling order dated August 9, 2001, the Court
directed the parties to report to the Court no later than March 29, 2002
regarding the feasibility of settlement, the estimated length of jury selection
and the estimated length of trial. 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.
