PART I -        FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Consolidation - 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. ("AC Media"). The Company and AC  Media were
formed during 1997. 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 financial statements included herein give  effect
to the Reorganization in which the Company became the  successor to ABK. All
significant intercompany accounts and  transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

AC Media focuses on operating and managing all media-related  programs for the
Company. These programs consist of fitness  information video tapes, books and
audio tapes and production of  educational television programs for children
which emphasize  martial arts values and fun. ABK focuses solely on operating
and  managing the Company's karate studios, which are located in the  San
Francisco Bay Area.

Revenue Recognition - AC Media - Revenue from films is recognized  on the
accrual method. Film costs are amortized using the 
individual-film-forecast-computation method, which amortizes costs  in the
ratio that current gross revenues bear to anticipated total  gross revenues
from all sources. The management of AC Media  periodically reviews its
estimates of future revenues for each  master and if necessary a revision is
made to amortization rates  and a write down to net realizable value may occur.

ABK - Substantially all ABK's students are required to sign a  student
enrollment agreement (the "Enrollment Agreement") covering  a period from 36 to
48 months to complete a black belt course or a  2nd degree black belt course,
respectively. The students have the  option to (a) make an initial fee payment
equal to 2-5 months of  instruction with the remaining amount payable monthly
over the  remaining term of the agreement, (starting with the month  following
enrollment), or (b) make one or more lump sum payments  for the entire course
at a significant discount. Revenues are  recognized over the term of the
Enrollment Agreement.

A student may cancel an Enrollment Agreement at any time. A  refund, if any, is
made if the student's advanced payments exceed  the elapsed portion of the
course, prorated at $75 per month  (additional family members prorated at $45
per person per month).  The elapsed portion of the course is the number of
months between  the course starting date and the cancellation date. Fee
payments  subject to refund are shown in the financial statements as  deferred
revenue, which will be recognized as revenue in the  future years if there is
no cancellation by the student. See Note  18 related to sales of studios.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which  potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk  are cash and accounts receivable
arising from its normal business  activities. The Company places its cash with
high credit quality  financial institutions. The amount on deposit in any one 
institution that exceeds federally insured limits is subject to  credit risk.
To reduce credit risk, the Company requires advanced  payments from students
and thus, no student fees receivable is  recorded.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers certain highly  liquid
instruments purchased with original maturities of year or  less to be cash
equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $  -0- and $1,496,000 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. 
Depreciation for furniture and fixtures and certain equipment is  computed
using the straight-line method over an estimated useful  life of five years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the  straight-line method over the
term of the respective leases.  Leased assets under capital lease agreements
are amortized using  the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated
useful  lives or the length of the lease terms, ranging from two to five  years.

Film Costs - Film costs consist of the capitalized costs related  to the
production of original film masters for videos and  television programs. The
net film costs are presented on the  balance sheet at the net realizable value
for each master.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash, 
receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings  approximate fair value
due to the short maturity of these  instruments. The carrying value of
long-term obligations  approximate fair value since the interest rates either
fluctuate  with the lending banks' prime rates or approximate market rate. 
None of the financial instruments are held for trading purposes.

Basic Loss Per Share - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS) No.
128 was adopted by the Company during the year ended  December 31, 1997. Basic
loss per share is based on the weighted  average outstanding shares issued.
Because the Company has a net  loss, the common stock equivalents would have an
anti-dilutive  effect on earnings per share. Accordingly, basic earnings per 
share and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized  for the
expected tax consequences of temporary differences between  the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their reported  amounts. The Company and its
Subsidiaries file a consolidated tax  return.

Presentation - Because of the Company's reduced activity in its  karate
instruction segment, management believes utilizing a  classified balance sheet
presentation is no longer appropriate, as  the operating cycle of the
media-related segment of the Company is  expected exceed 12 months.
Accordingly, an unclassified  presentation is utilized for the accompanying
balance sheet, which  is an acceptable method under SFAS No. 53, "Financial
Reporting by  Producers and Distributors of Motion Picture Films".

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to  the 1997
amounts to conform to the current presentation.

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 March 31, 1999
and  the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months
periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The  accompanying unaudited
financial statements should be read in  conjunction with the financial
statements and notes for the year  ended December 31, 1998 included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB as  filed with the SEC on March 31, 1999.

<PAGE>

Note 3 - Uses of Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with  generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to  make estimates and assumptions
that affect amounts reported in the  financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could  differ from those estimates. Significant estimates
used in these  financial statements include the recovery of film costs, which
has  a direct relationship to the net realizable value of the related  asset.
It is at least reasonably possible that management's  estimate of revenue from
films could change in the near term,  which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's  financial condition and results of operations.

Note 4 - Film Costs

Film costs consist of the capitalized costs related to the 
production of videos and programs for television as follows:

the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  Both videos  were completed in 1996, but
only the Strong Mind Fit Body video  has been released. During 1997, management
wrote down the  capitalized costs for this video by $105,000.

Note 5 - Related Party Transactions

Loans to stockholders were $114,937 and $114,773 at December 31,  1998 and

offering and another $50,000, which is included  in accounts payable at
December 31, 1998, will be paid 30 days  prior to the release date. These two
participants are stockholders  of the Company.

During 1998 and 1997, the Company paid $67,500 and $60,000,  respectively, to
two shareholders for story lines and scripts for  the production of the
television series "The Adventures with Kanga  Roddy".

Note 6 - Sale of Karate Studios

During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company sold four  karate studios
to the locations' general managers. The Company  received notes receivable
totaling $86,500 due in monthly payments  of $333 to $1,000 including interest
imputed at 10%. The Company has  guaranteed payments of a studio lease, which
are $4,673 per month  through March 2000. The Company retained all advance
payments of  enrollment fees, which were approximately $310,000 as of the
closing  dates; however, the Company is liable for any future refunds to 
students enrolled prior to the closing dates. The Company reduced  the
liability for advance payments of enrollment fees related to  these studios to
$35,000, which is included in deferred revenue.  Management will evaluate this
liability quarterly in light of  cancellations to date and expected future
cancellations.

Note 7 - Financing through the sale of convertible debentures

During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company sold $950,000 in
convertible debentures to four investors. The terms  of this transaction were

PART I -        FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2 -        Management's Discussion And Analysis Of 
                Financial Condition And Results Of Operations


Forward Looking Information
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe 
harbor" from liability for forward-looking statements. Certain 
information included in this Form 10-QSB and other materials filed or 
to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(as well as information included in oral statements or other written 
statements made or to be made by or on behalf of the Company) are 
forward-looking, such as statements relating to operational and 
financing plans, capital uses and resources, competition, and demands 
for the Company's products and services. Such forward-looking 
statements involve important risks and uncertainties, many of which 
will be beyond the control of the Company. These risks and 
uncertainties could significantly affect anticipated results in the 
future, both short-term and long-term, and accordingly, such results 
may differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by 
or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but 
are not limited to, the acceptance by the television viewer and public 
television stations of the television series - ADVENTURES WITH KANGA 
RODDY, production delays and/or cost overruns with respect to such 
series, changes in external competitive market factors or in the 
Company's internal budgeting process which might impact trends in the 
Company's results of operations, unanticipated working capital or other 
cash requirements, changes in the Company's business strategy or an 
inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated change in the 
industries in which it operates; and various competitive factors that 
may prevent the Company from competing successfully in the marketplace.

The following section discusses the significant operating changes, 
business trends, financial condition, earnings and liquidity that have 
occurred in the three-month period ended September 30, 1998. This 
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's 
consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this 
report.

Results of Operations

        Revenues.  For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the  Company's
total revenue decreased to $286,990, a decrease of $95,008 or 25% as compared
to total revenue for the three months ended  March 31, 1998 of $381,998.  This
decrease is mainly due to the closure of the Company's karate studios,
which have been reduced to only one studio for the quarter.

        The Company's revenues from the operation of its karate studios for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 was $61,353, an decrease of 52% from revenues
of $126,905, for the three months ended  March 31, 1998.  The decrease is
attributable to closure of the Company's karate studios.

        For the three months ended March 31, 1999,  film income was $225,637. 
Film income was derived from the delivery of seven episodes of the company's
television show "Adventures With Kanga Roddy" to the San Jose Public TV station
KTEH, which was invoiced for $30,000 for each episode for distribution fees,
and also the Company received $5,000 in advanced royalty payment from Timeless
Toys.


<PAGE>

        Costs and Expenses.  Revenue from the Company's karate 
studios and film business was offset by the amortization of film costs of 
$138,252, calculated in proportion to the revenue generated by the 
television show in this first quarter to total expected revenues from 
the television show.

        The Company's expenses for salaries and payroll taxes was only $10,019
for the three months ended March 31, 1999, a reduction of 95% from
$215,634 for the comparable period in 1998.  The decrease was due to payroll of
the Company's management included in capitalized film costs.


        Rent expense decreased by $42,288, or 50%, to $42,328 for the three
months ended  March 31, 1999, from $84,616 for the comparable period in 1998.  
The decrease is due to the closure of karate studios, but is partially offset
by the increased expense of the Company's new corporate office which the
Company has occupied since the end of July 1998. The Company currently 
operates only one studio in California.

        Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 
$79,714, or 34%, to $315,831 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, from
$236,117 for the comparable period in 1998.  This increase is primarily  due to
increased promotional expenses related to the television show, depreciation of
production equipment and legal and accounting fees.

        Interest expense increased by $33,817 to $42,718 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, from $8,901 for the comparable period in 1998.  This
increase is attributable to accrued interests on debentures the Company sold
during this quarter.

        As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company's net loss for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 was $262,198 which represented an increase of
$127,308 from $134,890 for the comparable period in 1998.  Net loss per share
remained unchanged at $0.04 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from the
comparable period in 1998.  Weighted average number of shares outstanding
increased to 6,097,269 for the three months ended March 31, 1999  from
3,832,345 for the comparable period in 1998, due to shares issued upon the
conversion of convertible debentures sold by the Company during 1998 and also
during this quarter.


Liquidity And Capital Resources

        Cash decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1999 by 
$12,511 to ($9,748).  The decrease in cash is attributable to $890,675 of
investments in the production of Adventures With Kanga Roddy, and $332,090 in
net cash used for operating activities, offset by $1,210,254 which was raised
by the Company through financing activities.

        As of March 31, 1999, total long-term debt was $1,476,723 and  loans
payable to related parties was $129,069.  In addition, deferred  revenues were
$36,336 at March 31, 1999.  Deferred revenues represent pre-paid  tuition for
the karate studios and booked revenue from sponsorship  activities and cannot
be immediately recognized.  


<PAGE>

Recent Developments

         In May 1999 the Company sold $1,250,000. The interest rate on the
Debentures is 7% per annum, payable in cash or in shares of the Company's
Common Stock. The Debentures mature May 1, 2002 and may be converted to shares
of Common Stock. The Company also issued 125,000 warrants in connection with
these debentures. The Company received no proceeds from these warrants.
Proceeds will be used for the  production of Adventures With Kanga Roddy.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

        On April 24, 1998, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief
in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, against William
Charles Jeffreys, requesting a judicial determination of the Company's rights
in certain intellectual property associated with the Adventures with Kanga
Roddy show, and that Mr. Jeffreys has no such rights.  Mr. Jeffreys filed an
answer to the Company's complaint on June 15, 1998 along with a counterclaim. 
The Company disputes all claims of Mr. Jeffreys to an interest in certain of
the Company's intellectual property.  In February 1999, Mr. Jeffreys and the
Company have agreed to settle the lawsuit and counterclaim for $36,000 which
the Company will pay Mr. Jeffreys in twelve monthly payments of $3,000 each
beginning in March of 1999.
