                  RESORTS INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


        A.   General:

             The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements, which
        are  unaudited, include the operations of Resorts International Hotel,
        Inc.  ("RIH") and its subsidiaries.  RIH owns and operates the Resorts
        Casino  Hotel,  a  casino/hotel  complex located in Atlantic City, New
        Jersey.    RIH  is  a  wholly owned subsidiary of GGRI, Inc. ("GGRI"),
        which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun International North America,
        Inc. ("SINA").  SINA was known as Griffin Gaming & Entertainment, Inc.
        until  February  6,  1997.    "SINA"  is  used herein to refer to that
        corporation both before and after its name change.

             On  December  16,  1996, SINA became a wholly owned subsidiary of
        Sun  International  Hotels  Limited  ("SIHL"), a corporation organized
        under  the  laws  of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, through a merger
        transaction  (the  "Merger").    As  a  result  of  the  Merger, RIH's
        consolidated  assets  and liabilities were adjusted to their estimated
        fair  values  as  of  December 31, 1996.  The Merger and related basis
        adjustments are discussed in detail in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
        Financial  Statements in RIH's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
        ended December 31, 1996 (the "RIH 1996 Form 10-K").

             While  the  accompanying  interim  financial  information  is
        unaudited,  management  of RIH believes that all adjustments necessary
        for  a  fair  presentation of these interim results have been made and
        all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

             The  notes  presented herein are intended to provide supplemental
        disclosure  of  items of significance occurring subsequent to December
        31,  1996  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Notes to
        Consolidated  Financial Statements contained in pages 32 through 50 of
        the RIH 1996 Form 10-K.

        B.   Reverse Repurchase Agreements:

             Cash  equivalents  at  March  31,  1997  included  $35,930,000 of
        reverse repurchase agreements (federal government securities purchased
        under  agreements  to  resell  those  securities)  with  Prudential
        Securities,  Inc.  under  which  RIH  had  not  taken  delivery of the
        underlying securities.  These agreements matured during the first week
        of April 1997.

        C.   Refinancing:

             In  February  1997  Resorts  International  Hotel Financing, Inc.
        ("RIHF"),  a wholly owned subsidiary of SINA, mailed to each holder of
        its $125,000,000 principal amount of 11% Mortgage Notes due 2003 (the





                                          8<PAGE>



        "Mortgage  Notes")  and $35,000,000 principal amount of 11.375% Junior
        Mortgage  Notes  due  2004  (the  "Junior Mortgage Notes") an Offer to
        Purchase  and  Consent Solicitation Statement offering to purchase for
        cash  (the "Offer") the outstanding Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage
        Notes  and  soliciting  consents (the "Solicitation") for amending the
        indentures  pursuant  to  which  those  securities  were  issued  (the
        "Indentures")  to,  among other things, release the collateral for the
        Mortgage  Notes  and  the  Junior  Mortgage  Notes.    This collateral
        consisted of liens on RIH's fee and leasehold interests in the Resorts
        Casino  Hotel,  the contiguous parking garage and property and related
        personal  property.  Holders who validly tendered their securities and
        consents  by  February  26, 1997 (the "Consent Date") were entitled to
        receive  the  purchase  price  of  106.733% for the Mortgage Notes and
        107.447% for the Junior Mortgage Notes, accrued interest through March
        12,  1997,  and  an  additional  2.5%  consent  payment  (the "Consent
        Payment").    Holders  who  tendered  their  securities  and  consents
        subsequent  to the Consent Date but prior to the Offer's expiration on
        March  10,  1997,  were  entitled  to  the  purchase price and accrued
        interest,  but not the Consent Payment.  $119,645,000 principal amount
        of  Mortgage Notes and $21,001,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage
        Notes  were  tendered.    The  purchase price and Consent Payments for
        purchasing  these  tendered  securities,  excluding  accrued interest,
        totaled  $153,712,000.   $5,355,000 principal amount of Mortgage Notes
        and  $1,100,000  principal  amount  of  Junior Mortgage Notes were not
        validly  tendered and, therefore, not purchased pursuant to the Offer.
        These  securities  remain outstanding as unsecured obligations of RIHF
        and  operate  under  the  Indentures,  as  amended.  Under the amended
        Indentures, the repayment terms, interest payment terms and redemption
        provisions  for the remaining Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes
        are  unchanged;  however,  many  of  the  restrictive  covenants as to
        payment   of  dividends  and  incurring  additional  indebtedness  (as
        disclosed  in  Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
        the  RIH  1996 Form 10-K) have been deleted.  See discussion below for
        certain  restrictions  related  to the senior notes issued by SIHL and
        SINA.    The remaining Junior Mortgage Notes continue to trade as part
        of  units  consisting  of  $1,000  principal amount of Junior Mortgage
        Notes and .1928 of an ordinary share of SIHL.

             In connection with the Offer and Solicitation, SIHL and SINA (the
        "Issuers")  issued  $200,000,000  principal  amount  of  9%  Senior
        Subordinated  Notes  due  2007  (the  "Senior  Notes")  in  a  private
        placement   which,  after  costs,  will  result  in  net  proceeds  of
        approximately  $194,000,000.    These  proceeds  were loaned to RIH in
        exchange  for a $200,000,000 promissory note (the "New RIH Note") with
        terms  that  mirror the terms of the Senior Notes, and RIH's guarantee
        of the Senior Notes.  RIH transferred to RIHF (i) $153,712,000 in cash
        which  RIHF  needed  to  pay  the purchase price and Consent Payments,
        excluding accrued interest, for the Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage
        Notes  tendered  to  RIHF  pursuant  to the Offer and (ii) $12,899,000
        Junior  Mortgage  Notes  owned  by  RIH.    In  exchange for this, the
        $125,000,000  and  $35,000,000  promissory notes from RIH to RIHF (the
        "RIH Notes"), the terms of which




                                          9<PAGE>



        mirror  the  terms  of  the  Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes,
        respectively, will be canceled and RIH will issue new promissory notes
        to  RIHF  in the amounts of, and with terms that mirror, the remaining
        Mortgage  Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes.  The excess of the cash and
        carrying  value  of  the Junior Mortgage Notes tendered by RIH to RIHF
        over  the  net decrease in carrying value, excluding accrued interest,
        of  the affiliated notes from RIH to RIHF, plus estimated costs of the
        Offer  and  Solicitation,  which  were  borne  by  RIH, resulted in an
        extraordinary  loss  of  $5,000,000.  RIH also recorded a deferred tax
        benefit  of  $2,043,000  related  to  this  extraordinary  item.   The
        remainder of the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
        The Senior Notes, which are unsecured obligations, are unconditionally
        guaranteed  by  RIH,  GGRI  and  certain  of  SIHL's subsidiaries (the
        "Guarantors").    RIH's guarantee of the Senior Notes is senior to its
        guarantee  of  the Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes.  Interest
        on  the  Senior  Notes and the New RIH Note is payable on March 15 and
        September  15  in  each  year,  commencing  September  15,  1997.  The
        indenture  for  the  Senior  Notes  (the  "Senior Indenture") contains
        certain covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Issuers
        and  the  Guarantors  to,  among  other  things:  (i) incur additional
        indebtedness,  (ii)  incur  certain  liens,  (iii)  engage  in certain
        transactions  with  affiliates and (iv) pay dividends and make certain
        other  restricted payments.  Because the Senior Notes were issued in a
        private placement, they were restricted as to transfer.

             The  Issuers  filed  a  Form  F-4 Registration Statement with the
        Securities  and  Exchange Commission in order to register $200,000,000
        of  9%  Exchange  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2007 (the "Exchange
        Notes"),  and  on  April  11,  1997,  the  effective  date  of  that
        registration  statement,  commenced  an  exchange offer (the "Exchange
        Offer")  in order to exchange the Senior Notes for the Exchange Notes.
        The  Exchange  Notes  have terms identical in all material respects to
        the  Senior Notes,  evidence the same debt as the Senior Notes and are
        issued  under  and  are entitled to the same benefits under the Senior
        Indenture  as  the  Senior Notes.  In addition, the Exchange Notes and
        the  Senior  Notes  are  treated as one series of securities under the
        Senior  Indenture  which,  hereinafter,  will  be  referred  to as the
        "Exchange Notes."  The Exchange Offer expired on May 13, 1997.

        D.   Statements of Cash Flows:

             Supplemental  disclosures  required  by  Statement  of  Financial
        Accounting  Standards  No.  95 "Statement of Cash Flows" are presented
        below.

        E.   Commitments and Contingencies:

             Casino Reinvestment Development Authority ("CRDA")

             As  previously  reported,  certain issues have been raised by the
        CRDA    and  the  State  of New Jersey Department of the Treasury (the
        "Treasury")  concerning the satisfaction of investment obligations for
        the years 1979 through 1983 by RIH.  These matters were dormant for an
        extensive period of time until late 1995 when RIH was contacted by the
        CRDA.    CRDA  legal    representatives  have  recently indicated that
        Treasury  may  take  a  position  that  RIH owes additional investment
        alternative  taxes  including    interest  and possibly penalties.  If
        these  issues  are  determined adversely, RIH could be required to pay
        the  relevant  amount  in  cash.  Management of RIH intends to contest
        these  issues  and  believes  a  negotiated  settlement that would not
        involve a material monetary cost to RIH is possible.

             Litigation

             RIH  is  a  defendant  in  certain litigation.  In the opinion of
        management, based upon the advice of counsel, the aggregate liability,
        if  any, arising from such litigation will not have a material adverse
        effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


        Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 and Results of Operations

        FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Liquidity

             At  March  31,  1997  RIH  had  working  capital  of  $30,753,000
        including  $54,721,000 of unrestricted cash and equivalents.  The day-
        to-day operations of RIH require approximately $10,000,000 of currency
        and coin on hand which amount varies by days of the week, holidays and
        seasons.    Additional  cash  balances  are  necessary to meet current
        working capital needs.







                                          11<PAGE>



             RIH, through notes payable to affiliates, is the principal source
        of  funds  for servicing the $200,000,000 principal amount of Exchange
        Notes, the remaining $5,355,000 principal amount of Mortgage Notes and
        the  remaining  $1,100,000  principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes.
        Annual  interest  expense  on  these  notes  totals  approximately
        $18,700,000.

        Capital Expenditures and Resources

             In  March  1997  SIHL  and  SINA  loaned  the net proceeds of the
        Exchange  Notes  which, after costs, will approximate $194,000,000, to
        RIH  in exchange for the $200,000,000 New RIH Note and RIH's guarantee
        of  the  Exchange Notes.  RIH then transferred to RIHF (i) the portion
        of  the  proceeds ($153,712,000) needed to purchase the Mortgage Notes
        and  the  Junior Mortgage Notes tendered to RIHF pursuant to the Offer
        and  (ii) $12,899,000 Junior Mortgage Notes owned by RIH.  In exchange
        for  this,  the  RIH  Notes  will  be  canceled and RIH will issue new
        promissory  notes  to RIHF in the amounts of $5,355,000 and $1,100,000
        and  with  terms that mirror the terms of the remaining Mortgage Notes
        and  Junior Mortgage Notes, respectively.  The remaining proceeds will
        be  used  for  general  corporate  purposes.    See Note C of Notes to
        Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  further  discussion of these
        transactions.

             As  previously  disclosed,  officials  of SIHL announced plans to
        transform  Resorts  Casino  Hotel  into  a  highly  themed resort.  At
        present,  the  project  is in the conceptual design stage and detailed
        planning  is  expected to begin in 1998.  The expansion is expected to
        include  additional  hotel  rooms  and  a  highly  themed  casino  and
        entertainment complex.  The size and scope of the expansion depend, in
        part,  upon  the  amount  of  additional land RIH and SINA are able to
        acquire.    In  this regard, SINA spent in excess of $7,500,000 during
        the  first  quarter  of  1997  on  land  intended  to  be used in this
        expansion.    In  addition,  RIH's  ability to carry out the expansion
        depends  on  a  number of other factors, including receipt of adequate
        financing and certain state and local approvals.

             During  1997  RIH  expects  to begin enhancing the Resorts Casino
        Hotel  through  the construction of additional parking, the renovation
        of  approximately  500  of the hotel rooms and various improvements to
        public  areas.    The  planning  for such renovation has just recently
        begun,  and  the  costs  and  schedule  therefor  have  not  yet  been
        determined.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - First Quarter 1997 Compared to 1996

        Revenues

             Net  casino  revenues  increased  from  $58,687,000  in the first
        quarter  of  1996 to $59,104,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as table
        win increased by $1,045,000, slot win decreased by $416,000 and poker,
        simulcast and keno revenues decreased by $212,000.  Table game win was
        up  due  to  both  an  increase  in amounts wagered by patrons and the
        effects


                                          12<PAGE>



        of  an  increased hold percentage (ratio of casino win to total amount
        of chips purchased for table games or total amount wagered for slots).
        The decrease in slot win was due to a decrease in amounts wagered.

             Competition  for  Atlantic  City  casino patrons remains intense.
        Adding  to  the  competition  for patrons, expansions at two competing
        Atlantic  City  properties  opened  in mid-1996 which, combined, added
        approximately  1,100  hotel rooms and approximately 85,000 square feet
        of  gaming  space.    In  July  1997 another competitor's expansion is
        expected  to  open  adding  approximately 75,000 square feet of casino
        space  and  two  other  competitors  are  scheduled to open hotel room
        additions  of  300 and 400 rooms this summer.  Several other companies
        have announced plans to expand existing or construct new casino/hotels
        in Atlantic City.

        Expenses

             Casino and Resort Expenses

             For the first quarter of 1997 the largest decreases in casino and
        resort  expenses  were  in  fees  charged RIH by the New Jersey Casino
        Control  Commission ("CCC") and Division of Gaming Enforcement ("DGE")
        ($600,000) and cash giveaways at RIH ($600,000).  The CCC and DGE fees
        were higher in 1996 because RIH's gaming license renewal investigation
        and hearing took place in early 1996.  The cash giveaways were down as
        the cash giveaway per bus patron decreased, though RIH's number of bus
        passengers increased.

             Selling, General and Administrative

             T h ese  costs  decreased,  primarily  due  to  the  decrease  in
        amortization of prepaid fees ($600,000) under an agreement whereby RIH
        and  SINA have a non-exclusive license to use the name and likeness of
        Merv  Griffin  to  advertise the Resorts Casino Hotel.  The balance of
        such prepaid fees were written off in December 1996.

             Depreciation and Amortization

             These  expenses  were up slightly as the decrease in depreciation
        expense  ($400,000)  resulting primarily from the changes in remaining
        depreciable  lives  assigned  in  conjunction with the Merger was more
        than offset by the amortization of goodwill ($600,000).

             Pursuant  to  the  requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
