Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a) Pro forma Financial Information

            The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") are based on the historical
financial statements of Paradise Music & Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
("Paradise") and Consolidated Entertainment, LLC, (d/b/a Straw Dogs) and Spur &
Buckle, Inc. (collectively "Straw Dogs") adjusted to give effect to the
acquisition by Paradise of Straw Dogs. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations gives effect to the acquisition as if it
had occurred as of July 1, 1998, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred
as of June 30, 1999. The acquisition and the related adjustments are described
in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available
information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The
Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to represent what Paradise's
results of operations or financial condition would actually have been had the
acquisition in fact occurred on such dates or to project Paradise's results of
operations or financial condition for any future period or date. The Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of Paradise and Straw Dogs included in the
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

            The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. After the acquisition, the total cost of the acquisition of Straw
Dogs will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of
Straw Dogs based upon their respective fair values. The allocation of the
aggregate purchase price included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements is
preliminary.

(b) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired

            In accordance with Rule 210.3-05(b) of Regulation S-X the historical
statements for Consolidated Entertainment, LLC, (d/b/a Straw Dogs) and Spur &
Buckle, Inc., covering the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, and 1998 are
attached to this report.

Footnotes to Pro-Forma Financial Statements

(a)   The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect
      to the proposed acquisition of Straw Dogs by Paradise by combining the
      respective balance sheets of the two companies at June 30, 1999. The
      acquisition was accounted for using the "purchase" method of accounting.
      Therefore, the aggregate consideration paid in connection with the
      proposed acquisition will be allocated to Straw Dogs assets and
      liabilities based on their fair market values with the excess
      consideration treated as goodwill. The purchase price will be paid with
      the issuance of 1,441,000 shares of common stock valued at $9,359,325,
      including acquisition costs of $1,073,575, of which 150,000 is estimated
      and accrued as of June 30, 1999. The seven day average closing market
      price of $5.75 of our common stock surrounding April 22, 1999, the date of
      the agreement, was used to value the acquisition. The net assets acquired
      consisted of certain transactions occurring prior to the acquisition and
      the computation of goodwill as follows:

      Total assets of Straw Dogs as of
      June 30, 1999                         $3,458,595

      (1)   To assign zero value to Straw Dogs intangible assets consisting of
            organization costs and goodwill.

      (2)   To reflect marketable securities distributed to the members of Straw
            Dogs prior to the consummation of the transaction.

            as partial satisfaction of amounts due from affiliates.

      (4)   To reflect estimated additional advances to the affiliate for the
            period July 1, 1999 through the consummation of the transaction.

      (5)   To reflect the payment of a dividend to the stockholder of Spur &
            Buckle prior to the consummation of the transaction.

(b)   The acquisition of Straw Dogs resulted in $9,471,303 of goodwill which
      will be amortized over 20 years. Intangible assets acquired from Straw
      Dogs (consisting of organizational costs and goodwill) were given zero
      value and the corresponding amortization of $19,000 was eliminated from
      the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations.
      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
      reflect a net adjustment to amortization of $454,565 for the year ended
      June 30, 1999.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Consolidated

ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companies' managements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consolidated
Entertainment, LLC, (d/b/a Straw Dogs) and Spur & Buckle, Inc. as of June 30,
1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the

                        CONSOLIDATED ENTERTAINMENT, LLC,
                   (d/b/a STRAW DOGS) AND SPUR & BUCKLE, INC.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         Nature of Operations - Consolidated Entertainment, LLC, (d/b/a Straw
         Dogs) a television commercial production company and Spur & Buckle,
         Inc. a motion picture development company (collectively the "Company")
         are located in the United States.

         Basis of Combination - The combined financial statements of the Company
         include the accounts of Consolidated Entertainment, LLC, (d/b/a Straw
         Dogs), a limited liability company, as of June 30, 1999 and 1998 and
         for the year ended June 30, 1999 and the period February 14, 1998 (date
         of inception) through June 30, 1998, and its affiliate through common
         majority ownership, Spur & Buckle, Inc. as of June 30, 1999 and 1998
         and for the years then ended. All significant intercompany transactions
         and balances have been eliminated in combination.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value of the Company's
         assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 approximates the
         carrying amounts presented in the combined balance sheets.

         Marketable Securities - The Company's marketable securities consist of
         common stock. The securities are classified as available-for-sale and
         are reported at their fair values as provided for under Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
         Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Available-for-sale
         securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains reported
         as a component of other comprehensive income.

         Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less
         accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and
         amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated
         useful lives of 5 years or the term of the respective lease.

         Intangible Assets - Organizational costs are amortized on a
         straight-line basis over 5 years.

         Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of
         net assets of an acquired business and is being amortized over 15
         years. The Company monitors the cash flows of the acquired operations
         to assess whether any impairment of recorded goodwill has occurred.

         Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized in the month in which the
         production is filmed. Revenue for services is recognized as the
         services are performed.

         Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Income Taxes - The stockholder of Spur & Buckle, Inc. has elected to
         treat the Company as an "S" Corporation for federal and state income
         tax purposes. Accordingly, the individual stockholder is liable for tax
         on corporate income and receives the benefit of corporate loss.

         Consolidated Entertainment, LLC (d/b/a Straw Dogs) is a limited
         liability company. Therefore, the members are liable for tax on income
         and receive the benefit of losses. Effective January 1, 1999
         Consolidated Entertainment, LLC (d/b/a Straw Dogs) elected to be taxed
         as an "S" Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes.

NOTE 6 - DUE TO BANK:

         Consolidated Entertainment, LLC has an informal agreement with a bank,
         which allows the Company to overdraft its bank account, which bears
         interest at 3% above the prime lending rate (7.75% at June 30, 1999).

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY:

         The Company has advanced amounts to an officer and an affiliate, which
         are non-interest bearing and have no specified repayment terms.

         On September 24, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
         the net assets of Straw Dogs and 100% of the stock of Spur & Buckle,
         Inc. to Paradise Music & Entertainment, Inc. (Paradise) for an
         aggregate of 1,441,000 shares of Paradise's common stock. The
         transaction is pending stockholder approval by Paradise's stockholders
         in addition to other customary closing conditions. The agreement
         provides for, among other things, advances to the affiliate (a real
         estate company owned by the members of the Company) of approximately
         $700,000, to be partially repaid with the net capital of the Company
         prior to the consummation of the sale. In addition, the affiliate is in
         the process of refinancing the real estate owned and the proceeds of
         this refinancing, not to exceed $500,000, will be used for repayment of
         these advances. The remaining balance will be represented by a
         promissory note. The note will require monthly payments of principal
         and interest.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

         The Company has various employment agreements with directors, which
         expire through November 15, 1999, and provide for compensation
         aggregating up to $86,000 per diem plus additional and special
         compensation as defined in the agreements. One of the agreements
         provides for a minimum annual guaranteed compensation of $150,000. For
         the years ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, approximately

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED):

         Spur & Buckle, Inc. has an employment agreement with its key officer.
         The agreement provides for the officer to earn all amounts received by
         the employer which are attributable to the services of the employee,
         less all business expenses attributable to the development, production,
         realization and collection of such amounts. For the years ended June
         30, 1999 and 1998, approximately $755,000 and $695,000 respectively,

         The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to matters
         arising in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of
         management that the disposition of these lawsuits will not individually
         or in the aggregate materially adversely affect the combined financial
         position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

         The Company leases space for its Los Angeles office on a monthly basis
         and its New York office, which expires in 2001. The leases provide for
         minimum annual rent plus adjustments for increases in the Consumer
         Price Index and certain expenses over base period amounts. Aggregate
         future minimum rental payments are as follows:

                  2001                                         50,400

         approximately $190,000 and $55,000, respectively.
