         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (in thousands except share data)

1.       INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Florida Panthers Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its
subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Certain information related to the Company's organization,
significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
fairly state the financial position and the results of operations for the
periods presented and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. Operating results for the interim periods
presented are not indicative of the results that can be expected for a full
year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

         In order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods
presented, certain amounts have been reclassified from the previously reported
financial statements in order to conform with the financial statement
presentation of the current period.

         The accompanying statements of operations cover the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. For financial reporting purposes,
the Company recognizes all hockey related revenues and expenses over the course
of the hockey season on a per game basis. With the National Hockey League
("NHL") regular season beginning in early October, the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1997 encompassed 22 and 39 of the 41 Florida Panthers
regular season home games, respectively. Based on the present NHL regular season
schedule, which extends from early October through mid April, most of the
Company's hockey related revenues and expenses are reported during the second
and third quarters. Revenues and expenses relating to the Florida Panthers'
participation in the 1996-97 Stanley Cup Playoffs will be reflected during the
fourth quarter.

         Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 1996 include the 5,275,678 shares issued in
connection with the Reorganization as if such Reorganization had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented. Such pro forma weighted average shares
outstanding do not include the 7.3 million shares sold in the Offerings (see 
Note 2).

2.       STOCK  OFFERINGS

THE OFFERINGS

         On November 8, 1996, the Company sold a total of 7.3 million shares of
Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of
which 2.7 million were sold to the public in an initial public offering ("IPO")
and 4.6 million shares were sold in a concurrent offering directly to certain
investors at a price equal to the IPO price per share less underwriting
discounts and commissions but including the placement agent fee (collectively,
the "Offerings"). The shares of Class A Common Stock began trading on The Nasdaq
National Market on November 13, 1996.

         Prior to the completion of the Offerings, and pursuant to an exchange

its Class A Common Stock and 255,000 shares of its Class B common stock, par

8.       EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

         Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based on the
combined weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise or conversion
of options. In computing earnings per common and common equivalent share, the
Company utilizes the modified treasury stock method.

         The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares
used in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, which is substantially the same as the computation used to
calculate primary earnings per share, is as follows:

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128
supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share", and
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
or loss per share ("EPS") for entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. SFAS No. 128 replaces presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. The provisions
of SFAS No. 128 require dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face
of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures.
Furthermore, the provisions of SFAS No. 128 require basic EPS and diluted EPS
be presented for both


                                        9

<PAGE>   10



income (loss) from continuing operations and net income (loss) on the face of
the statement of operations. SFAS No. 128 also requires a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

         The provisions of SFAS No. 128 are effective for financial statements
for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. After
adoption, all prior period EPS data presented shall be restated to conform with
