                         ( A development stage company)
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                December 31, 1997

Note A -- Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for interim financial  statements and the instructions to Form 10-QSB related to
interim period financial statements.  Accordingly,  these condensed consolidated
financial  statements do not include certain  information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.
However, the accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in
the opinion of  management,  are  necessary  in order to present  the  financial
statements  fairly.  The  results of  operations  for  interim  periods  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the  results to be expected  for the full year.  The
Company's  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction with the Company's  audited  financial  statements and notes thereto
included  in the  Company's  Registration  Statement  on  Form  SB-2  (File  No.
333-27787) that became effective on September 29, 1997.

         On October 3, 1997,  the Company  consummated  its 1997 initial  public
offering  (the "IPO")  pursuant to which it issued  2,415,000  units.  Each unit
consisted  of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of
common  stock for $5.50.  The units were  issued for  $12,316,500  (or $5.10 per
unit). IPO offering expenses were approximately $2,175,000.

Note B -- Acquisition of FMS

         On December  10, 1997,  the Company  acquired 100 percent of the issued
and  outstanding  common  stock  of FMS  Productions,  Inc.  ("FMS")  for  total
consideration of $225,490. Consideration included 44,000 shares of the Company's
common stock  valued at $209,000 or ($4.75 per share) and cash payment  totaling
$34,383,  less  $17,893  of cash  received  from FMS.  In  conjunction  with the
acquisition,  which has been  accounted for under the purchase  method,  assumed
liabilities were as follows:


Fair value of assets acquired, excluding cash.....................    $  542,074
Net cash payment..................................................      (16,490)
Value of Company's common stock issued............................     (209,000)
                                                                       ---------
Liabilities assumed...............................................    $  316,584
                                                                       =========

         The unaudited  condensed  consolidated  statement of operations for the
six-month  period ended December 31, 1997 includes the operating  results of FMS
from  December  10,  1997 (the  acquisition  date) to  December  31,  1997.  All
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

         The pro forma  results of operations  for the  six-month  periods ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 (reflecting all adjustments  which, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation) as if the FMS acquisition and the
IPO transaction were consummated on July 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  are as
follows:

Note C -- Loss per Share

         Effective  December  31,  1997,  the Company  adopted the  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128  "Earnings Per Share." The adoption of
this standard had no effect on the loss per share  calculations  for the periods
presented.

         Net loss per share and loss per share  assuming  dilution  are based on
the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  and dilutive  common
stock  equivalents  during the periods  presented.  Pursuant to  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission Staff  Accounting  Bulletin no. 83, common stock issued for
consideration below the offering price of $5.00 per share (the "Offering Price")
and stock options and warrants  issued with  exercise  prices below the Offering
Price during the  twelve-month  period  preceding the IPO, have been included in
the calculation of basic earning per share,  using the treasury stock method, as
if they were  outstanding for all periods  presented that ended June 30, 1997 or
prior.  The effect of the stock  options and  warrants  issued at  consideration
below the IPO price was to increase the weighted  average shares  outstanding by
460,548 shares for the periods ended December 31, 1996.

         Options and warrants to purchase  3,378,282  shares of common stock (at
prices ranging from $0.77 to $5.50) were outstanding as of December 31, 1997 and
excluded from the  computation of loss per share  assuming  dilution for periods
subsequent to June 30, 1997 as they would be anti-dilutive.

Note D -- Supplemental Cash Flows Disclosure

         The Company  prepares its  statements  of cash flows using the indirect
method as  defined  under  SFAS No.  95,  "Statement  of Cash  Flows."  Required
non-cash transaction disclosures are as follows:

         For the six-months ended December 31, 1997,  deferred offering costs of
$573,578 were recorded against proceeds from the IPO. Deferred offering costs of
$40,000,  paid to the  underwriters,  were credited toward a two year consulting
agreement and recorded in security  deposits and other assets.  Company's common
stock of 44,000 shares was issued with the acquisition of FMS.

         As of December  31, 1996,  the Company  recorded the issuance of common
stock for monies (totaling  $334,333)  received in January and February 1997 and
recorded stock subscriptions.  The Company also issued shares of common stock in
connection  with the conversion of $270,000 of notes payable,  the settlement of
deferred compensation of $74,000 and amounts due to consultants and shareholders
for both past and future services of $137,500.


Note E -Significant Business Risk

         Lack of Operating History

         The  Company  has  recurring  losses  from  operations  and has minimal
operating  revenues.  The ability of the Company to generate positive  operating
results  is  dependent  upon its  ability  (i) to obtain  sufficient  additional
capital,  (ii)  to  distributes  programming  and  services  through  multimedia
channels, (iii) to achieve a critical mass of viewers to attract advertisers and
healthcare providers and (iv) to acquire and develop appropriate programming for
broadcast.  The Company  intends to raise  additional  working  capital  through
private and/or public  offerings.  The successful  outcome of future  activities
cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved,
the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended  business plan or
generate positive operating results.

         Government Regulations

         The cable  television  industry is subject to extensive and  frequently
changing  federal,  state and local laws and substantial  regulation under these
laws by governmental agencies,  including the Federal Communications  Commission
(the "FCC").  Regulations governing the rates that can be charged to subscribers
by cable  systems not in markets  subject to  effective  competition  from other
multichannel  video program  distributors  could adversely affect the ability of
cable systems with limited channel  capacity to finance  rebuilding or upgrading
efforts to increase channel capacity or otherwise  restrict their ability to add
new  programming  such  that  offered  by  the  Company.  In  addition,  federal
"must-carry"  rules requiring cable operators to devote up to one-third of their
channels to carriage of local  commercial TV broadcast  stations and  additional
channels for  noncommercial  educational TV stations);  commercial leased access
rules  designating  up to 10 to 15  percent  of  system  channels  for  lease by
unaffiliated  programmers;  and local regulatory  requirements mandating further
channel  set-asides for public,  governmental  and  educational use could reduce
channel  availability  which might  otherwise  be  available  for the  Company's
programming on many cable systems.  Statutory provisions and FCC rules governing
relationships  among cable systems and  competing  forms of  multichannel  video
program distribution, as well as the relations between the Company and its cable
system  affiliates  could adversely  affect the  marketability  of the Company's
programming  and the  flexibility  of the Company in its business  dealings with
outlets for its  programming.  Although  program  providers that do not hold FCC
licenses or operate distribution outlets, such as the Company's offerings of The
Recovery Network and Recovery Radio, are outside the FCC's direct  jurisdiction,
the cable  systems and radio  stations  that carry the  Company's  programs  are
regulated by the FCC and, therefore, are subject to its rules and policies, such
as those relating to sponsorship identification, broadcast of indecent language,
provision of equal  opportunities for political  candidates and related measures
pertaining to program content and format.  Failure of the Company's  programs to
comply with one or more of these rules could  subject the cable systems or radio
stations  to FCC fine or other  sanction  and thus  could  adversely  affect the
Company's   relationship   with  such   entities   and   could   result  in  the
discontinuation of carriage of the Company's programming by such entities.

         Dependence upon Access Television Network ("ATN", a related company)


     ATN's subscribers  currently represent  substantially all of the households
that receive  broadcast of the Company's  programming.  The company is dependent
upon ATN to broadcast its  programming to ATN's  subscribers  and to provide the
necessary  services to enable the Company to broadcast its  programming  through
cable  systems  with  which  the  Company   directly  enters  into   affiliation
agreements. It is possible that ATN or its affiliates could experience broadcast
interruptions and equipment failures,  which could last for a significant period
of time.  The Company's  prospects will be affected by ATN's ability to maintain
its existing subscriber base and to enter into additional affiliation agreements
to expand its  subscriber  base.  Moreover,  the  Company's  agreement  with ATN
expires April 1998 unless renewed by both parties.


Item 2.  Plan of Operation.

          The following  discussion  and analysis  should be read in conjunction
with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein.

General

          In April 1997, the Company nationally launched The Recovery Network, a
cable  television  network.   Pursuant  to  a  nesting  contract  (the  "Nesting
Contract")  with ATN, ATN provides  satellite  uplink,  master control and other
related  services on its satellite  transponder to The Recovery  Network for two
hours of broadcast time every day to subscribers of cable systems with which ATN
has affiliation  agreements.  Currently,  The Recovery  Network is broadcast one
hour in the morning to approximately 16 million  subscribers and one hour in the
evening to approximately 5 million subscribers.  In addition to the distribution
under the Nesting  Contract,  the Company is seeking two hours of broadcast time
per day in other local cable  systems in a large number of markets.  The Company
believes it has  identified all local cable systems in the United States with at
least  50,000  subscribers  and  is  engaged  in a  general  marketing  campaign
("affiliate  marketing")  directed  at those 259  systems.  The  Company is also
targeting a more  focused  affiliate  marketing  effort on 11 major cities whose
communities contain 103 of those 259 systems.

          To date, the Company has incurred  significant  net losses,  including
net losses of $1,223,829, $3,817,652, $456,051, and $687,043 for the years ended
June 30,  1996 and 1997 and the six months  ended  December  31,  1996 and 1997,
respectively.  The  Company  anticipates  that it will  generate  revenues  from
advertising sales on The Recovery Network and Recovery Talk Radio, merchandising
recovery-related  products and services on The Recovery  Network,  Recovery Talk
Radio and the Company's site on the world wide web, and by seeking  sponsorships
for  its   programming  and  from  license  fees  from  cable  systems  for  its
programming.  The Company does not expect that it will  generate any  meaningful
revenues from fees until such time, if ever,  that The Recovery  Network  enters
into affiliation  agreements providing the Company with a significant subscriber
base.  There can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will be able to enter into
affiliation  agreements  with local cable  systems with a  sufficient  number of
subscribers,  achieve  significant viewer loyalty or attract advertisers for The
Recovery Network, generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable operations.
The Company also  anticipates  that Recovery  Interactive  will generate revenue
from monthly  subscriber fees from managed care companies,  insurance  companies
and employers for delivering  mental and behavioral  health  benefits to covered
individuals and merchandising.

          On August 18, 1997, the Company entered into an contractual  agreement
with the United States Government agency, the federal Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention ("CSAP"). The contract, with subsequent modifications,  provides that
CSAP will pay the Company the amount of $49,900 over a six-to-nine-month  period
as compensation for a certain set of deliverables.

          The deliverables pursuant to the contract include a detailed financial
plan, the creation and organization of a national cable event, later modified to
special  cable  programming  through  the  Company,  organizational  plans for a
National  Day  of  Sobriety,  and  community-related   events  to  support  drug
prevention.  The contract is  anticipated  to be completed by February 28, 1998,
when the Company will present the final deliverables.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Company's primary capital requirements in the next ten months will
be to fund the costs of its affiliate  marketing  efforts,  sales of advertising
time and producing  its  programming,  satellite  transponder  costs,  costs for
uplink and transmission  services under the Nesting Contract and working capital
expenses.

          The Company's  capital  requirements have been and will continue to be
significant  and its cash  requirements  have been  exceeding its cash flow from
operations.  At December 31, 1997, the Company had a working  capital surplus of
$4,466,008.  Due to, among other things, the lack of meaningful revenues,  costs
associated with program  development and affiliate marketing efforts the Company
has been substantially dependent upon various private placements and its initial
public offering to fund its operations.

          During  the period  from  November  1995  through  March 1, 1997,  the
Company  issued in private  placements  745,674 shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $.77 per share to $3.48 per share for net proceeds of approximately
$1,433,767. Additionally, the Company raised debt proceeds of $310,000 through a
private  placement.  Of these debt proceeds raised,  $250,000 was converted into
71,033  shares of common stock and $60,000 was repaid as of June 30, 1997.  Upon
conversion and repayment of debt,  warrants to purchase 157,563 shares of common
stock were issued. Warrants to purchase 142,065 shares of common stock have been
exercised for $330,000.  A warrant to purchase  15,498 shares of common stock at
$3.87 per share  remains  outstanding.  Also,  during  this  period,  options to
purchase  73,615 shares of common stock were  exercised  for  $171,000.  See the
Company's  registration  statement  on Form SB-2 dated  September  29,  1997 for
specifics of these financing activities.

          In March and April  1997,  the Company  completed a private  financing
(the  "private  financing")  pursuant  to which it  issued an  aggregate  of (i)
$2,000,000 principal amount of unsecured non-negotiable promissory notes bearing
interest at the rate of 9% per annum,  which were repaid out of the  proceeds of
the Company's initial public offering;  (ii) 400,000 shares of Common Stock; and
(iii)  warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $5.50 per share.  The offering price was $50,000 per Financing
Unit.  After  payment of $200,000 in  placement  agent fees to the  Underwriter,
which acted as placement  agent for the Company in  connection  with the Private
Financing,  and other offering expenses of approximately  $262,000,  the Company
received net proceeds of approximately $1,538,000 from the sale of the Financing
Units.  The net proceeds of the Private  Financing were used by the Company for,
among other  things,  an affiliate  marketing  campaign in  connection  with the
national launch of The Recovery Network, programming expenses for the production
of "Full Circle",  "Testimony"  and  "Bottoms",  a capital  contribution  in the
amount of  $200,000  to  Recovery  Interactive  and  payments  under the Nesting
Contract  with ATN in the  amount of  $102,000.  The  Company  repaid the entire
principal  amount of, and accrued interest on, the Financing Notes subsequent to
September 30,1997 with proceeds received from the IPO.

          From July through  December  1997,  the Company  issued the Promissory
Notes with an  aggregate  principal  amount of  $605,250  to five  lenders.  The
Company paid to each lender a loan  origination  fee in an amount equal to 5% of
the Promissory  Notes,  or  approximately  $30,300.  The  Promissory  Notes plus
$95,000 of interest  thereon  were repaid on October 3, 1997.  The net  proceeds
from the issuance of the Promissory Notes were used for working capital. The net
proceeds  received from the initial public  offering were  $10,715,355,  and the
amount of said  proceeds  utilized by  December  31,  1997 was  $5,685,446.  The
Company incurred  financing costs during the six-month period ended December 31,
1997 of  approximately  $765,000  relating to Private  Financing and  Promissory
Notes.

          The Company  anticipates that the net proceeds from its initial public
offering,  together with projected revenues from operations,  will be sufficient
to fund the Company's  operations and capital  requirements  until September 30,
1998. There can be no assurance,  however,  that such funds will not be expended
prior  thereto  due to  unanticipated  changes in economic  conditions  or other
unforeseen  circumstances.  In the  event  the  Company's  plans  change  or its
assumptions  change or prove to be inaccurate,  the Company could be required to
seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated.  The Company has no
current  arrangements  with respect to, or potential  sources of, any additional
financing, and it is not anticipated that existing shareholders will provide any
portion of the Company's future financing requirements.  Consequently, there can
be no assurance that any  additional  financing will be available to the Company
when needed,  on  commercially  reasonable  terms,  or at all. Any  inability to
obtain additional  financing when needed would have a material adverse effect on
the  Company,  requiring  it to curtail and possibly  cease its  operations. 


                                      -10-

In addition, any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to
the interests of the Company's then existing shareholders.

Disclosure Regarding Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

          This report contains certain  forward-looking  statements with respect
to the future  performance of the Company that involve risks and  uncertainties.
Various  factors  could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from those
projected in such statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
Company's lack of meaningful  revenues,  its significant and continuing  losses,
its  significant  capital  requirements,  the  uncertainty  of  its  ability  to
implement its plan of operation and other  factors  discussed  herein and in the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                OTHER INFORMATION


Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

          On September 29, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
effective  the  Company's   Registration   Statement  on  Form  SB-2  (File  No.
333-27787).   The  underwriter  in  the  offering  (the  "Offering")  was  Whale
Securities Co., LP (the  "Underwriter").  The  Underwriter  sold 2,415,000 units
(the "Units") in the Offering for the Company's account at an aggregate-offering
price of $12,316,500.  Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company's  common
stock,  par value  $.01 per share  (the  "Common  Stock"),  and one  warrant  to
purchase  one  share of  Common  Stock at a price of  $5.50.  Additionally,  the
following  securities with respect to warrants  issued to the  Underwriter  were
registered:  (i) 210,000  warrants,  each such  warrant to purchase one share of
Common  Stock  (the  "Underwriter's  Stock  Purchase  Warrants"),  (ii)  210,000
warrants,  each  such  warrant  to  purchase  one  warrant  (the  "Underwriter's
Warrants"),  (iii) 210,000  shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Underwriter's  Stock  Purchase  Warrants,  (iv) 210,000  warrants  issuable upon
exercise of the  Underwriter's  Warrants and (v) 210,000  shares of Common Stock
issuable  upon   exercise  of  the  warrants   issuable  upon  exercise  of  the
Underwriter's  Warrants.  The  proceeds  from the initial  public  offering  are
anticipated to be fully utilized by September 30, 1998.

          From October 3, 1997 (the "Effective Date") through December 31, 1997,
the company  incurred  expenses in connection with the securities  registered of
$1,231,650,  $369,495,  $573,598 and $2,174,743 for  underwriting  discounts and
commissions,  expenses  paid  to  the  Underwriter,  other  expenses  and  total
expenses, respectively. All of such payments were direct or indirect payments to
persons other than (i) directors or officers of the Company or the associates of
such  persons,  (ii)  persons  owning 10 percent or more of the Common  Stock or
(iii) affiliates of the Company.

          After  deducting  the total  expenses  of the  offering,  the  Company
received net proceeds of $10,141,757.

          From the Effective  Date through  December 31, 1997,  the Company used
the net offering  proceeds as follows:  (i) $34,383 was used for the acquisition
of another business,  (ii) $2,747,079 was used for the repayment of indebtedness
and accrued  interest  thereon,  (iii)  $2,016,171 was used for working capital,
(iv) $150,000 was contributed to Recovery Interactive, Inc. and (v) $177,456 was
used to develop programming.  Other than for the payment of salaries to officers
of the Company, all of such payments were direct or indirect payments to persons
other than (i)  directors or officers of the Company or the  associates  of such
persons,  (ii)  persons  owning 10 percent or more of the Common  Stock or (iii)
affiliates of the Company.
