(Exact name of issuer as specified in its charter) Florida 1-5979 59-0773674 (State of Other (Commission (IRS Employer of Jurisidiction File Number) Identification or Organization) Number) 1801 Century Park East Suite 2600 Los Angeles, California 90067 (Address of Principal (Zip Code) Executive Office) (310) 552-2711 Registrant's telephone number, including area code Item 5. Other Events. On August 24, 1994, Registrant issued the following press release: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- Caesars World, Inc. (NYSE/CAW) today announced net income for fiscal 1994 was $78,361,000, or $3.19 per share, compared with $83,215,000, or $3.40 per share, for fiscal 1993. Revenue for the fiscal year ended July 3l, 1994, surpassed the billion dollar mark for the first time in the company's history, totaling $1,015,766,000, compared with $983,459,000 in fiscal 1993. Henry Gluck, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased to report that casino activity in both our Nevada and New Jersey operations achieved record levels in fiscal 1994. The decline in earnings principally reflects fiscal 1994 fourth quarter results which were down from the prior-year quarter due to significantly lower table-game win percentages in our Nevada operations." The company had announced in June 1994 that it anticipated a substantial reduction in profits as a result of unusually large losses during the middle of the month to a small number of long-term, table-game customers in Nevada. Net income for the fiscal 1994 fourth quarter was $16,905,000, or 69 cents per share, compared with $25,686,000, or $1.04 per share, during the fiscal 1993 fourth quarter. Revenue totaled $251,458,000, compared with $262,015,000 in the fiscal 1993 quarter. For the full year, the company's Nevada table-game activity and win increased over fiscal 1993 despite a slightly lower table-game win percentage. The full-year slots activity and win results established all-time highs for the Nevada operations. However, operating income in Nevada declined due to higher marketing and payroll costs, and an increased provision for bad debts. In New Jersey, increased contributions to income during the fiscal 1994 fourth quarter and full-year reporting periods resulted largely from casino operations at Caesars Atlantic City. Record slots revenue was realized in both reporting periods and there was a positive impact from the Simulcast Casino which opened in October 1993 and included high-tech horse race betting, a poker section and casino table games. Keno was introduced into this expanded area during June 1994. For the full year, the improved results in New Jersey were partially offset by slightly lower table-game win and by higher operating costs, notably the increased payroll for additional employees in the expanded casino. During the fiscal 1994 fourth quarter, the company also realized a positive contribution to earnings from an unconsolidated affiliate in Windsor, Canada. Caesars World has a one-third interest in the joint venture which operates an interim Windsor casino which opened in May 1994. The company's other expenses decreased from the fiscal 1993 fourth quarter, primarily due to a reduction in legal expenses, expense accruals and lower costs associated with stock appreciation rights. These reduced expenses were partially offset by higher costs related to the pursuit of expansion opportunities in potential new gaming venues. During both fiscal 1994 reporting periods, when compared with the same fiscal 1993 periods, Caesars World's net interest expenses decreased due to lower outstanding debt and a debt refinancing which was substantially completed during the fiscal 1993 first quarter.

The company also changed its method for income tax accounting by adopting FASB 109 effective August 1, 1993. The impact of this cumulative change in accounting and the retroactive change in the corporate tax rate aggregated a net charge of approximately $750,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
