                      AMERICAN CHAMPION ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Champion
Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary America's
Best Karate ("ABK") which owns 100% of American Champion Media, Inc. Pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 14, 1997, the Company entered
into a reorganization transaction pursuant to which the Company acquired all of
the issued and outstanding shares of ABK (the "Reorganization"). The interim
financial statements included herein give effect to the Reorganization. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Significant accounting policies of the Company and ABK are set forth in the
Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 contained in
the Company's Form SB-2 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") on July 17, 1997.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF REPORTING

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for completed financial statements. In the opinion of management,
such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position of the Company at September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the nine months periods ended September 30, 1997 and
1996. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December
31, 1996 included in the Company's Form SB-2 as filed with the SEC on July 17,
1997.

NOTE 3 - LOANS PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES

The Company obtained an additional $29,000 of unsecured loans from related
parties during the quarter ended September 30, 1997, of which $25,000 beared no
interest and the remaining $4,000 required payment of monthly interest only at a
rate of 16% per annum. All outstanding loans payable to related parties, with
the exception of $55,907 were subsequently paid with proceeds from the Company's
Initial Public Offering ("IPO") consummated on August 5, 1997.



                                      -10-

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws, on September 1,
1997, the Company offered to certain stockholders who previously purchased
equity or debt securities of ABK, the right to rescind their previous purchases
within thirty (30) days and receive the return of the purchase price paid for
such securities together with interest at a rate to be determined by the state
of residence of the subject holder ("Rescission Offer"). The Rescission Offer
expired on October 1, 1997. Subsequently, the Company returned $40,000 of the
purchase price with $1,556 of interest to one stockholder. The accompanying
Proforma balance sheet reflects the statement of position subsequent to
expiration of the Rescission Offer. The Company's stockholders' equity has
increased by $1,133,964 to reflect the reclassification of the shares subject to
the Rescission Offer.

NOTE 5 - FACILITIES CLOSURE COSTS

Management of the Company has developed a plan to close certain studios related
to its karate studio segment. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has accrued
$57,000 to account for estimated costs to be incurred in future periods related
to studios which have been closed. The accrual is included in accounts payable
and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31,
1996 included in Amendment No. 4 to the Company's Form SB-2 as filed with the 
SEC on July 17, 1997.


KARATE STUDIO SEGMENT

The Company's revenues in its karate studio segment for the three month and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1997 were $263,494 and $728,109, respectively,
a decrease of 16% and 12%, respectively, from revenues of $313,476 and $823,894,
respectively, for the comparable periods ended September 30, 1996. The decrease
in sales is principally attributable to the reduction of marketing activities in
anticipation of the closure of unprofitable studios. Prior to September 30,
1997, the Company's Summerlin (NV), Nellis (NV), Blossom Hill (CA), San Mateo
(CA), Pleasanton (CA), and San Ramon (CA) studios were closed.

Salary and payroll taxes in the Company's karate studio segment increased from
$144,173 and $491,736, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 to $179,478 and $504,712 for the same periods ended September
30, 1997, an increase of 24% and 3%, respectively. The increase in these
expenses is primarily attributable to grants of common stock to personnel as
bonuses under the 1997 Stock Plan adopted by the Company in connection with the
IPO. Without the stock bonus expense of $72,225, salary and payroll taxes would
have decreased 26% and 12% from the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996. Such decrease would be mainly attributable to closure of the studios
referred to above.

The Company's rent expense decreased from $123,865 and $372,347, respectively,
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 to $100,408 and
$334,274, respectively, for the comparable periods ended September 30, 1997, a
decrease of 19% and 10%, respectively. The decrease in rent expenses is
primarily attributable to the closure of the studios referred to above.

The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for the Company's
karate studio segment decreased from $75,293 and $214,893, respectively, for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 to $52,778 and $163,425,
respectively, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, a
decrease of 30% and 24%, respectively. The decrease in these expenses is
primarily due to the closure of the studios referred to above.

Net loss from operations in the Company's karate studio segment increased from
$56,763 and $336,324, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to $140,149 and $412,942, respectively, for the same periods
ended September 30, 1997, an increase of 147% and 23%, respectively. This
increase is primarily due to grants of common stock as bonuses under the 1997
Stock Plan referenced above and the write-off of facilities closure costs.
Without these one time charges, the Company's karate studio operations would
have a decrease of 81% and 16% respectively, for the net loss from the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the same periods ended September 30,
1996.

VIDEO AND TELEVISION SEGMENT

The Company did not earn any revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 in the video and television segment. The Company's revenues in its
video and television segment for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$2,547. There was no revenue earned for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.

All expenses incurred for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were related
to the production of the television series "Adventures with Kanga Roddy." All
such costs were capitalized under film costs.

THE HOLDING COMPANY SEGMENT

The Company was formed in February 1997 as a holding company. Interest revenue
of $29,136 was earned for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The Company
incurred expenses for salaries and payroll taxes, general administrative and
interest expense of $20,667, $15,253 and $3,857, and $44,898, $20,023, and
$11,057, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997.
These expenses were principally for salaries, telephone, interest and other
expenses related to the Company's IPO.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 by $3,259,256 and
decreased by ($60,141) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Cash
utilized for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
was $(854,745) and $(400,522), respectively.

Cash from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 was $(986,154) and $(111,436) respectively.

Cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 was $5,100,155 and $451,818, respectively. Financing in the nine months




                                      -13-

<PAGE>


ended September 30, 1997 resulted primarily from sales of common stock and
warrants in the IPO. Financing in the period ended September 30, 1996 resulted 
primarily from sales of common stock.

During August 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering and
received net proceeds of $5,550,155 from the sale of 1,300,000 shares of common
stock and 1,495,000 warrants. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has used
$2,291,000 of the offering proceeds as follows: (i) $801,000 for the repayment
of short term debt and loans; (ii) approximately $818,000 for the investment in
television series; (iii) $547,000 for the payment of accounts payable and
operating expenses; and (iv) $125,000 for the purchase of equipment.

The Company has historically financed its operating and capital outlays
primarily through sales of common stock, loans from stockholders and other third
parties and bank financing. These sources are described in the Company's Form
SB-2 filed July 17, 1997 under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources." Proceeds from the Company's IPO were used to pay off or reduce
amounts owed by the Company as described above.

The Company maintains a credit line with Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to which the
Company has borrowed approximately $35,000 (the maximum amount available),
repayment of which is made at the monthly rate of 2% of the outstanding balance
of the borrowing. Other than the WFB Loan and an immaterial amount owed to Bank
of America, the Company does not presently maintain any other borrowing facility
or have any indebtedness to financial institutions.

The Company's San Mateo and Pleasanton studios were closed as of September 27,
1997, and existing students were combined with another nearby America's Best
Karate studio. The Company expects net loss from Karate studio operations to
continue to decline due to decreasing payroll expenses and reduction in interest
expense resulting from the repayment of loans from proceeds of the IPO.

Production of the TV series "Adventures With Kanga Roddy" is halfway complete
with six episodes completed. Production for the second half will resume in early
January 1998. Certain TV program production equipment, which the Company
originally planned to rent, has been purchased for $122,000. This caused an
increase in equipment purchases for the first half of production, but will
eliminate rental expenses for the second half of production.





                                      -14-

The Company believes that the net proceeds of the IPO, plus working capital from
operations and other sources of funds will be adequate to sustain operations for
at least the next 12 months.
