PDS GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS        (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For further information, please
refer to the consolidated financial statements of PDS Gaming Corporation (the "Company"), and the related notes, included within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (the "2002 Form 10-K"), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The
balance sheet information at December 31, 2002 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's 2002 Form 10-K.

2. STOCK PLANS

The Company has two stock option plans, the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 2002 Stock Option Plan. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock option plans. Based on the related
circumstances, no compensation expense has been recognized for the stock option plans. The Company
has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 ("SFAS No. 148"), therefore, no compensation expense was recognized for the Company's stock option plans. Had
compensation expense for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans, consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS
No. 148, the Company's net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below:

5. CONTINGENCIES

Litigation.In May 2002, the Company received notification that Tekbilt, Inc. ("Claimant") had submitted a
Demand for Arbitration to the American Arbitration Association alleging breach of a Distributor Agreement (the "Agreement") with Claimant in connection with the Company's discontinued operations. In
the notification, Claimant alleged that such breach has caused Claimant to sustain substantial damages. The monetary damages sought by claimant are unspecified. The Company timely filed its Answering
Statement and has asserted a Counterclaim against Claimant. The Company seeks the dismissal of Claimant's claims in their entirety, an award of monetary damages and reimbursement of all costs and
expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the case, including attorneys fees. Neither party has specified its alleged damages. The case is in a preliminary stage, and the hearing before the
American Arbitration Association panel is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2004. Although unable to predict the outcome of this matter, management believes the claim to be without merit and
will vigorously pursue all legal defenses available to it. Management, further, does not believe that the outcome of such arbitration is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Accordingly, no accounting recognition has been provided for losses, if any.

On
February 24, 2003, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with respect to a proposal submitted by a management group
consisting of Johan P. Finley, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lona M.B. Finley, the Company's Executive Vice President, Secretary and Chief Administrative Officer, and Peter D.
Cleary, the Company's President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer (collectively, the "Management Group"), to acquire all of the approximately 69% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock not already owned by the Management Group (the "Proposed Transaction"). On July 8, 2003, the Company announced that it had extended the Letter of Intent until August 10, 2003, and
on September 10, 2003, the Company announced that it had extended the Letter of Intent until November 15, 2003. The Proposed Transaction is subject to, among other things, the execution
of a definitive agreement, approval by the Special Committee, approval by a majority of the Company's shares not owned by the Management Group, the procuring of all necessary consents of the Company's
commercial lenders and the trustees under the indentures covering the Company's outstanding debt securities, the securing of required approvals from all gaming regulatory agencies, the obtaining of
the necessary financing and the receipt by the Company of a favorable fairness opinion from an investment bank.

On
August 25, 2003, the Company announced the voluntary dismissal by the plaintiff of a purported class action lawsuit filed by a shareholder in District Court, Clark County,
Nevada, in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The complaint alleged that members of the Company's Board of Directors violated their fiduciary duties in approving the Letter of Intent with
respect to the proposal submitted by the Management Group, and sought to enjoin the Management Group from acquiring the shares. This was the third similar complaint against the Company relating to the
Proposed Transaction. Each of the two prior complaints were also voluntarily dismissed by the respective plaintiffs in response to the Company's motions to dismiss.

On
October 3, 2003, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief against Heller EMX, Inc., and Does 1 through 100 in the United States District Court for the
District of Nevada (the "Nevada Case"). The Complaint was provided to legal counsel for the defendants, but was not served pending a possible negotiated resolution. On October 16, 2003, the
Company was served with a Summons and Complaint for Fraud, Conversion and Other Claims, filed by Heller EMX, Inc., Heller

9

---

Financial
Leasing, Inc., and General Electric Capital Corp., in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, being case number 03 CV-6187 (the "New York
Case"). Both cases seek a determination of the respective rights and duties of the parties under four Sale and Purchase Agreements, a Nonrecourse Proceeds Sharing Agreement and related agreements and
documents. Plaintiffs in the New York Case also seek to recover compensatory and punitive damages for at least $5 million for alleged conversion and an order enjoining the Company from
withholding certain payments, and compensatory and punitive damages in amounts to be determined at trial for alleged fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference with prospective business
advantage/relations, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company believes the allegations in the New York Case are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the New York Case and pursue
the declaratory relief sought in the Nevada Case. See also "Residual Sharing" later herein.

Residual sharing.In December 2001, the Company agreed to share the proceeds from future sales of certain equipment at
lease termination, but only to the extent, if any, that such proceeds exceed the Company's original estimate of residual values of the equipment made at the inception of the respective leases. The
value of the equipment to be assigned to the sharing pool is calculated based on the present value of the Company's original anticipated residual value in the equipment at lease termination
(originally $7.2 million), subject to adjustment as defined. The Company's obligation to assign assets to a residual sharing pool is collateralized by receivables totaling $9.1 million
at September 30, 2003.

Other.On October 15, 2003, the Company received notice regarding non-conformance of certain gaming machines provided by the
Company to a casino. The Company reimbursed the casino for estimated damages that were not material. The Company is currently conducting an internal investigation relating to this matter. At this
time, management cannot estimate the future effect, if any, of this matter on the Company.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company is engaged in the business of leasing and other financing of gaming equipment and remarketing previously leased gaming devices to casino operators.
The gaming equipment financed by the Company consists mainly of slot machines, video gaming machines and other gaming devices. In addition, the Company finances furniture, fixtures and other
gaming-related equipment, including gaming tables and chairs, restaurant and hotel furniture, vehicles, security and surveillance equipment, computers and other office equipment. The Company believes
it is currently the only independent leasing company licensed, registered or otherwise authorized in the states of Nevada, New Jersey, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota,
Mississippi, New Mexico and Washington to provide this financing alternative. In early 2001, the Company received a nonrestricted gaming license to operate The Gambler, now known as Rocky's Casino and
Sports Bar ("Rocky's"), in Reno, Nevada.

The
Company's quarterly operating results, including net income, have historically fluctuated due to the timing of completion of large financing transactions, as well as the timing of
recognition of the resulting fee income upon subsequent sale. These transactions can be in the negotiation and documentation stage for several months, and recognition of the resulting fee income by
the Company may fluctuate greatly from quarter to quarter. Thus, the results of any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other period.

The
Company's operating results are also subject to quarterly fluctuations resulting from a variety of other factors, including, but not limited to, (i) variations in the mix of
financing transactions between operating leases, direct finance leases and notes receivable, (ii) changes in the gaming industry which affect the demand for reconditioned gaming devices sold by
the Company at lease termination, and (iii) economic conditions, in which a detrimental change can cause customers to delay new investments and increase the Company's bad debt exposure, and
reduce the level of fee income obtained through the sale of leases or financing transactions.

STRATEGY

The Company's principal operating strategy is to increase recurring revenues and cash flows through originations of leases. In addition to its leasing activities,
the Company also originates note transactions which it generally sells to third parties. In some of its transactions, the Company holds the leases or notes for a period of time after origination or
retains a partial ownership interest in the leases or notes. The Company believes its ability to remarket used gaming devices enhances the gaming devices' values at the end of an operating lease and
facilitates additional financing transactions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures, some of which may require revision in future periods. The most significant estimates are those involving residual values, collectibility of
notes, accounts and leases receivable and valuation of equipment held for sale or lease.

The
following is a summary of what management believes are the critical accounting policies and estimates of the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles relative to leasing and
other financing transactions do not permit significant opportunities for management discretion as to their selection. However, the application of these policies, in some cases, requires the Company's
management to make subjective judgments regarding the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the Company's Consolidated
Financial

Revenue and Cost Recognition.The Company records revenue, primarily, in accordance with SFAS
No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as amended, and SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, along with other related guidance under generally accepted accounting principles and other regulatory guidance related to revenue
recognition.

Company's leasing activities include operating, direct finance and sales-type leases. For all types of leases, the determination of profit considers the estimated value
of equipment at lease termination, referred to as the residual value. The issues specific to operating, direct finance and sales-type leases are as follows:



After
the inception of a lease, the Company may discount or sell notes and future lease payments to reduce or recover its investment in the asset. Initial direct costs related to leases
and notes receivable are capitalized as part of the related asset and amortized over the term of the agreement using the interest method, except for operating leases, for which the
straight-line method is used.

Equipment
held for sale or lease, consisting primarily of gaming devices, is valued at the lower of average unit cost or net realizable value. Revenue is recognized when title transfers
to the customer upon shipment of used gaming devices or upon the exercise of a purchase option under an operating lease.

Reserves for Losses.An allowance for losses is maintained at levels determined by the Company's management to adequately
provide for collection losses and any other-than-temporary declines in other asset values. In determining losses, the Company's management considers economic conditions, the
activity in used equipment markets, the effect of actions by equipment manufacturers, the financial condition of customers, the expected courses of action by lessees with regard to leased equipment at
termination of the initial lease term, changes in technology and other factors which management believes are relevant. Recoverability of an asset value is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If a loss is indicated, the loss to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds the net realizable value of the asset. Asset charge-offs are recorded upon the disposition of the underlying assets. Management reviews the Company's assets on a quarterly
basis to assess the adequacy of the allowances for losses in light of all available information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

The Company reported net income of $187,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the third quarter 2003 compared to a net loss of $324,000 or $0.09 per diluted share in
the third quarter 2002. The third quarter 2002 results include income from continuing operations of $24,000 and a loss from discontinued operations of $348,000. The Company completed
$31.2 million in originations in the third quarter 2003

12

compared
with $7.5 million in the third quarter 2002. Originations in the third quarter 2003 included $28.1 million sourced through two customers.

Total
revenues and the mix of revenues and related costs for the comparable periods varied significantly, but this variability is not unusual given the nature of the Company's
operations. Revenues from continuing operations in the third quarter 2003 totaled $14.3 million compared to $7.3 million in the year-earlier quarter, an increase of
$7.0 million. This increase reflects higher levels of revenues from equipment sales and sales-type leases, operating lease rentals and fee income.

Revenues
from equipment sales and sales-type leases totaled $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to $672,000 in the year-earlier quarter, and
are summarized as follows:

Costs
of equipment sales and sales-type leases totaled $2.9 million and $652,000 in the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Changes in
margin result from a number of factors, including variations in supply and demand in the markets served by the Company.

Rental
revenues from operating leases increased by $3.8 million, or 94%, to $7.8 million in the third quarter 2003 from $4.0 million in the year-earlier
quarter as a result of the Company's significantly larger portfolio of operating leases, in relation to other leases, in the current year. This portfolio increased to an average of
$61.6 million in the third quarter 2003 from $33.8 million in the year-earlier period as a result of the Company's aggressive sales efforts. Related depreciation increased to
$5.5 million from $2.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as a result, and depreciation on equipment subject to operating leases as a
percentage of rental revenues increased from 68% in the prior year quarter to 71% in the third quarter 2003. This increase is due to the Company's normal recurring quarterly portfolio review that
resulted in acceleration of depreciation on certain leases in the current year quarter.

Finance
income increased to $1.4 million in the third quarter 2003 from $1.3 million in the year-earlier quarter. This nominal increase reflects the fact that
the Company's portfolio of notes and direct finance leases receivable was relatively unchanged between the two periods.

Fee
income increased to $2.0 million in the third quarter 2003 from $760,000 in the year-earlier quarter. Approximately 80% of the fee income in the current year
quarter was derived from one customer, which accounts for substantially all of the increase. Fee income is non-recurring in nature.

Casino
revenues decreased to $315,000 in the third quarter 2003 from $591,000 in the year-earlier quarter. Casino costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased to
$455,000 in the current year quarter compared to $657,000 in the third quarter 2002. The decreased costs are primarily comprised of decreased payroll and related costs and direct costs of sales. The
losses from casino operations were $140,000 and $66,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and reflect the continued weakness of the Reno, Nevada gaming market
as well as strong competition from Native American casinos operating in Northern California.

Interest
expense totaled $3.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2002. This increase results from
higher average debt levels and a higher weighted average cost of funds in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of

13

---

2002.
Average debt levels increased to $94.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2003, from $64.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of new
originations. The weighted average cost of funds increased to 13.3% in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from 12.2% in the third quarter of 2002 due to market factors.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased to $1.3 million in the third quarter 2003 from $1.1 million in the year-earlier quarter. The increase of
$199,000 is primarily the result of increased legal, litigation and settlement costs of $188,000.

The
estimated effective income tax rate was 36% in the third quarter 2003 and 42% in the third quarter 2002. In both periods, the estimated effective rate was higher than the federal
statutory tax rate of 34% due primarily to state income taxes and permanent tax differences.

Loss
from discontinued operations was $348,000 in the third quarter 2002. This loss was the operating loss of operations that were classified in the first quarter 2002 as discontinued in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.There was no loss from discontinued operations during the third quarter 2003.

See
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for description of the Company's discontinued operations.

Nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

The Company reported net income of $630,000 or $0.17 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to a net loss of
$2.7 million or $0.72 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 include a loss from continuing
operations of $486,000 and a loss from discontinued operations of $2.2 million. Gross originations of financing transactions were $105.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, compared with $37.4 million in the year-earlier period. Originations in the current year period included $79.2 million sourced through two
customers. Also included in originations in the current year period was a $16.6 million note syndicated by the Company, of which $1.4 million was retained by the Company for its
portfolio.

Total
revenues and the mix of revenues and related costs for the comparable periods varied significantly, but this variability is not unusual given the nature of the Company's
operations. Revenues from continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $33.6 million compared to $25.6 million in the year-earlier period.
The increase in revenues of $8.0 million is primarily attributable to higher levels of operating lease revenues and fee income, partially offset by lower revenues from equipment sales and
sales-type leases and casino operations.

Costs
of equipment sales and sales-type leases totaled $5.8 million and $8.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively,
resulting in a decrease in gross margins to $440,000 from $1.3 million, respectively. Changes in costs and margin result from a number of factors, including variations in supply and demand in
the markets served by the Company.

Rental
revenues from operating leases increased by $9.8 million, or 102%, to $19.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $9.6 million in
the year-earlier period as a result of the Company's significantly larger portfolio of operating leases, in relation to other leases, in the current year. This portfolio increased to an
average of $54.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $28.8 million in the year-earlier period as a result of the Company's aggressive sales
efforts. Related depreciation increased to $13.7 million from $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as a result.

Finance
income totaled $3.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $3.7 million in the year-earlier period, a decrease of
$65,000. This decrease reflects the somewhat smaller average portfolio of notes and direct finance leases in the Company's portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared
to the year-earlier period.

Fee
income totaled $3.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $1.1 million in the year-earlier period, an increase of
$2.6 million. Approximately 86% of the fee income in the current year period was derived from one customer, which accounts for substantially all of the increase. Fee income is
non-recurring in nature.

Casino
revenues totaled $704,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $1.4 million in the year-earlier period, a decrease of $723,000.
Related casino costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $1.1 million and $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Included in
the costs for the 2002 period are one-time pre-opening expenses of $238,000. The losses from casino operations, before pre-opening expenses, were $393,000 and
$392,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and reflect the continued weakness of the Reno, Nevada gaming market as well as strong competition from Native
American casinos operating in Northern California.

Interest
expense totaled $8.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $5.7 million in the year-earlier period. This increase
reflects higher average debt levels and a higher weighted average cost of funds in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002. Average debt levels increased to
$81.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $65.4 million in the year-earlier period, primarily as a result of new originations. The weighted

15

---

average
cost of funds increased to 12.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 11.8% in the year-earlier period due to market factors.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased by $73,000 to $3.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $3.2 million in the
year-earlier period. The decrease of $73,000 is primarily the result of decreased compensation-related expenses of $198,000, partially offset by increased legal, litigation and settlement
costs of $142,000.

The
estimated effective income tax rate was 36% in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 42% in the year-earlier period. The decrease and the reason the
estimated effective rate was higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 34% was due primarily to state income taxes and permanent tax differences.

Loss
from discontinued operations was $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The loss consisted of a loss on disposal of $1.0 million and an
operating loss of $1.2 million from operations that were classified in the first quarter 2002 as discontinued in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The loss on disposal was primarily related to the write-off of
certain intangibles in the Company's former Table Games and Casino Slot Exchange divisions. In addition, due to the decision to forego further reconditioning activities, the Company provided a reserve
for its related parts inventory of approximately $300,000 to liquidate the inventory quickly and reduce the associated on-going carrying costs. There was no loss from discontinued
operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

See
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for description of the Company's Discontinued Operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2003, the Company had $5.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $3.9 million in availability on lines of credit and
restricted cash of $4.6 million. The funds necessary to support the
Company's activities have been provided by cash flows generated primarily from operating activities and various forms of recourse and non-recourse borrowings from banks, financial
institutions and financial intermediaries. Payments under the Company's borrowings and the maturities of its borrowings are typically structured to match the payments under the leases and notes
collateralizing the borrowings. The Company manages its portfolio to optimize concentration among customers and geographic markets. To achieve this goal, it will from time to time sell or externally
finance transactions originated, including those held in its investment portfolio. The Company continues to explore other possible sources of capital, however, there is no assurance that additional
capital, if required, can be obtained or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Equipment
vendors payable at September 30, 2003 is $3.6 million. Amounts due equipment vendors are generally settled with the proceeds of borrowings utilizing the
underlying leases and related equipment as collateral.

On
February 24, 2003, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with respect to a proposal submitted by a management group
consisting of Johan P. Finley, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lona M.B. Finley, the Company's Executive Vice President, Secretary and Chief Administrative Officer, and Peter D.
Cleary, the Company's President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer (collectively, the "Management Group"), to acquire all of the approximately 69% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock that is not already owned by the Management Group. Under the terms of the letter of intent, the Company will pay certain fees and costs associated with the transaction, consisting primarily of
legal costs and investment banking fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, $550,000 of such costs

16

---

were
paid from general corporate funds. Management estimates that additional costs in the range of $50,000 to $250,000 will be paid, with said costs also being paid from general corporate funds. On
July 8, 2003, the Company announced that it had extended the Letter of Intent until August 10, 2003, and on September 10, 2003, the Company announced that it had extended the
Letter of Intent until November 15, 2003.

CASH FLOW

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, cash provided by operating activities totaled $6.7 million compared to cash provided by operating
activities (continuing and discontinued, combined) of $9.9 million in the first nine months 2002. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months 2003
primarily results from increased payments to equipment vendors of $13.2 million, increased originations of notes and direct finance leases of $8.2 million and decreased sales of notes
and direct finance leases of $5.1 million, partially offset by increased collections on notes and direct finance leases of $11.3 million and increased cash flow from operations of
$8.7 million. Cash used in investing activities totaled $31.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to cash used in investing activities of
$9.9 million in the first nine months 2002. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of increased purchases of equipment to be placed under
operating leases in the amount of $23.6 million. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $29.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to cash used in
financing activities of $913,000 in the first nine months 2002. The increase primarily reflects increases in borrowings to finance higher levels of lease originations in 2003.

At
September 30, 2003, total borrowings were $101.9 million, compared to $69.0 million at December 31, 2002. At September 30, 2003, the Company's
revolving credit and working capital facilities aggregated approximately $12.5 million at interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 10.50%. Advances under these agreements aggregated approximately
$8.6 million at September 30, 2003. The Company's current financial resources, including estimated cash flows from operations and the revolving credit facilities, are expected to be
sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated working capital needs. The Company is, from time to time, dependent upon the need to liquidate or externally finance transactions originated and held in
its investment portfolio. The Company continues to explore other possible sources of capital; however, there is no assurance that additional capital, if required, can be obtained or will be available
on terms acceptable to the Company.

Inflation
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's operations in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Substantially all of the Company's borrowings are under fixed interest rates, and maturities are matched with the cash flows of leased assets and notes
receivables. A changing interest rate environment will not significantly impact the Company's margins since the effects of higher or lower borrowing costs would be reflected in the rates for newly
originated leases or collateralized loans. Therefore, consistent with the Company's strategy and intention to hold most of its originations to maturity, the Company does not have a significant
exposure to interest rate changes for the foreseeable future.

Currency Risk

The Company does not have a significant exposure to foreign currency risk because all of its sales to customers in foreign countries are transacted in United
States dollars.

Forward-Looking Statements

operating leases; the risk of default by the Company's customers with respect to its financing transactions; the Company's dependence on key employees; potential fluctuations in the Company's
quarterly results; general economic and business conditions and other factors detailed from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"), the Company evaluated, under the supervision of its Chief Executive Officer and its President, Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer and Interim
Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Changes in internal controls.Subsequent to the Evaluation Date, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In May 2002, the Company received notification that Tekbilt, Inc. ("Claimant") had submitted a Demand for Arbitration to the American Arbitration
Association alleging breach of a Distributor Agreement (the "Agreement") with Claimant in connection with the Company's discontinued operations. In the notification, Claimant alleged that such breach
has caused Claimant to sustain substantial damages. The monetary damages sought by claimant are unspecified. The Company timely filed its Answering Statement and has asserted a Counterclaim against
Claimant. The Company seeks the dismissal of Claimant's claims in their entirety, an award of monetary damages and reimbursement of all costs and expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the
case, including attorneys fees. Neither party has specified its alleged damages. The case is in a preliminary stage, and the hearing before the American Arbitration Association panel is expected to
occur in the first quarter of 2004. Although unable to predict the outcome of this matter, management believes the claim to be without merit and will vigorously pursue all legal defenses available to
it. Management, further, does not believe that the outcome of such arbitration is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Accordingly, no accounting recognition has been provided for
losses, if any.

On
February 24, 2003, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with respect to a proposal submitted by a management group
consisting of Johan P. Finley, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lona M.B. Finley, the Company's Executive Vice President, Secretary and Chief Administrative Officer, and Peter D.
Cleary, the Company's President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer (collectively, the "Management Group"), to acquire all of the approximately 69% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock not already owned by the Management Group (the "Proposed Transaction"). On July 8, 2003, the Company announced that it had extended the Letter of Intent until August 10, 2003, and
on September 10, 2003, the Company announced that it had extended the Letter of Intent until November 15, 2003. The Proposed Transaction is subject to, among other things, the execution
of a definitive agreement, approval by the Special Committee, approval by a majority of the Company's shares not owned by the Management Group, the procuring of all necessary consents of the Company's
commercial lenders and the trustees under the indentures covering the Company's outstanding debt securities, the securing of required approvals from all gaming regulatory agencies, the obtaining of
the necessary financing and the receipt by the Company of a favorable fairness opinion from an investment bank.

On
August 25, 2003, the Company announced the voluntary dismissal by the plaintiff of a purported class action lawsuit filed by a shareholder in District Court, Clark County,
Nevada, in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The complaint alleged that members of the Company's Board of Directors violated their fiduciary duties in approving the Letter of Intent with
respect to the proposal submitted by the Management Group, and sought to enjoin the Management Group from acquiring the shares. This was the third similar complaint against the Company relating to the
Proposed Transaction. Each of the two prior complaints were also voluntarily dismissed by the respective plaintiffs in response to the Company's motions to dismiss.

On
October 3, 2003, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief against Heller EMX, Inc., and Does 1 through 100 in the United States District Court for the
District of Nevada (the "Nevada Case"). The Complaint was provided to legal counsel for the defendants, but was not served pending a possible negotiated resolution. On October 16, 2003, the
Company was served with a Summons and Complaint for Fraud, Conversion and Other Claims, filed by Heller EMX, Inc., Heller Financial Leasing, Inc., and General Electric Capital Corp., in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, being case number 03 CV-6187 (the "New York Case"). Both cases seek a determination of the respective rights and
duties of the parties under four Sale and Purchase Agreements, a Nonrecourse Proceeds Sharing Agreement and related agreements and documents.

19

---

Plaintiffs
in the New York Case also seek to recover compensatory and punitive damages for at least $5 million for alleged conversion and an order enjoining the Company from withholding certain
payments, and compensatory and punitive damages in amounts to be determined at trial for alleged fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference with prospective business
advantage/relations, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company believes the allegations in the New York Case are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the New York Case and pursue
the declaratory relief sought in the Nevada Case.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On October 15, 2003, the Company received notice regarding non-conformance of certain gaming machines provided by the Company to a casino. The Company reimbursed
the casino for estimated damages that were not material. The Company is currently conducting an internal investigation relating to this matter. At this time, management cannot estimate the future
effect, if any, of this matter on the Company.
