(2) Subsquent Events


Additional ICCMIC Financing

On October  7, 1998,  the  Company's  first  mortgage  lender,  Imperial  Credit
Commercial Mortgage Investment Corp. ("ICCMIC") loaned the Company an additional
$550,000,  secured by a first deed of trust on the Company's  Legends in Concert
Theater in Surfside Beach,  South  Carolina.  In connection with this additional
financing,  the Company  modified  the Common  Stock  purchase  warrant that the
Company  issued  to ICCMIC on March  13,  1998  (and the  corresponding  warrant
agreement)  by  reducing  the  exercise  price of ICCMIC's  325,000  warrants to
purchase shares of the Company's  Common Stock from $4.44 per share to $1.00 per
share.

DY/DX Corp. Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On October 2, 1998,  the Company  entered into a stock  purchase  agreement with
DY/DX  Corp.,  an  Illinois  corporation,  to sell up to  500,000  shares of the
Company's  Common  Stock  at an  aggregate  purchase  price of  $500,000.  As of
November 4, 1998,  DY/DX Corp.  had  purchased  55,000  shares of the  Company's
Common Stock pursuant to this agreement.

Election of Board Members

On July 15, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors elected Mel Woods,  President
of Fox Family Worldwide, as a director on its board, to fill the vacancy created
by Nelson  Foster's  resignation  from his post as a director  of the Company on
June 26, 1998.

On  September 8, 1998,  the  Company's  underwriter,  Whale  Securities  Co., LP
("Whale")  exercised its right to appoint a designee to the  Company's  board of
directors.  In order to create a vacancy for Whale's  designee,  director  Jules
Haimovitz  resigned  his post as a director of the Company on September 8, 1998.
Whale named Matt Gohd as its designee, who was subsequently elected to the board
of directors on September 9, 1998

(3) Loss Per Share

On March 3, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
128.  Earnings  per share (SFAS 128).  This  pronouncement  provides a different
method of  calculating  earnings per share than is currently  used in accordance
with APB 15, Earnings per Share.  SFAS 128 provides for the calculation of Basic
and Diluted  earnings per share.  Basic  earnings per share includes no dilution
and is computed by  dividing  income  available  to common  shareholders  by the
weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted
earnings per share  reflects the  potential  dilution of  securities  that could
share in the  earnings  of the entity,  similar to fully  diluted  earnings  per
share.  Except where the provisions of the Securities and Exchange  Commission's
Staff Accounting  Bulletin No. 98 are applicable,  potential dilutive securities
have been excluded in all years  presented in the Statements of Operations  when
the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

For the nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  potential  dilutive  securities
representing 421,094 outstanding options and 2,077,000  outstanding warrants are
not  included,  since their effect would be  anti-dilutive.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1998,  potential dilutive  securities  representing  773,853
outstanding stock options and 4,480,956  outstanding  warrants are not included,
since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

(4) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings in which the adverse parties
are seeking  damages from the Company.  While there can be no assurance that any
of the instituted or threatened  lawsuits will be settled or decided in favor of
the Company, the management of the Company does not believe the final resolution
of these  matters  will  have a  material  adverse  effect  upon  the  Company's
financial  condition and results of operations.  (5) Business  Acquisition Gedco
USA, Inc. Acquisition

On March 13, 1998, the Company  completed its acquisition of certain assets from
Gedco  USA,  Inc.  and its  affiliates  for a  purchase  price  of  $14,000,000,
consisting of  $11,500,000  in cash and 595,238 shares of Common Stock valued at
$2,500,000 (the "Gedco Acquisition").

Included in the Gedco Acquisition were substantially all of the income producing
assets and  associated  real property of Orlando  Entertains  and LA Entertains,
consisting  of King Henry's  Feast,  Blazing  Pianos piano bar, the Fort Liberty
shopping  complex that includes a Wild Bill's Dinner  Theater,  each of which is
located in greater  Orlando,  Florida,  and a second Wild Bill's Dinner  Theater
located in Buena Park,  California.  Gerard  O'Riordan,  President of Gedco USA,
Inc.,  joined the Company as  President  of On Stage  Theaters,  Inc.,  a wholly
subsidiary  of the Company that manages the acquired  dinner  theaters and piano
bar as well as other selected theaters.

The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price and  transaction  fees
and expenses  with $12.5  million of mortgage  financing  from  Imperial  Credit
Commercial Mortgage Investment Corp. ("ICCMIC"). ICCMIC has committed a total of
$20,000,000,  of which  $7,500,000 is remaining to finance the Company's  future
real estate related acquisitions.  In connection with the loan agreement entered
into  between the  Company and ICCMIC on March 13, 1998 (the "Loan  Agreement"),
the  Company  granted  ICCMIC the right to  provide  the  Company  with up to an
additional $30 million of similar  mortgage  financing.  In connection  with the
financing,  the  Company  issued  ICCMIC  and  Imperial  Capital  Group  LLC (an
affiliate of ICCMIC), an aggregate of 575,000 warrants  immediately  exercisable
into  shares of Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of $4.44,  which  price was
adjusted on October 7, 1998. See "Additional  ICCMIC Financing" in Note 2 above.
In addition,  concurrently with the ICCMIC financing, Mark Karlan, the President
of ICCMIC,  was named a member of the Company's  Board of  Directors,  filling a
vacancy created by the resignation of Kenneth Berg.

The  components  of the  purchase  price and its  allocation  to the  assets and
liabilities are as follows:

                                                             $12,762,430
                                                            =============

The costs of acquisition  increased primarily relates to the lenders origination
fee of $750,000, legal fees of $240,000,  financing fees of $100,000,  recording
fees of $100,000, and accounting fees of $125,000.

The  acquisition  was accounted  for as a purchase and the assets  acquired were
recorded  at  a  fair  market  value.  The  building  and  equipment  are  being
depreciated over twenty and three years,  respectively,  under the straight-line
method.  The costs of  acquisition  incurred  primarily  relates to the  lenders
origination fee of $750,000, legal fees of $240,000, financing fees of $100,000,
recording fees of $100,000,  and accounting fees of $125,000.  The allocation of
the purchase price was as follows:


Cash....................................................    $   383,444
Inventory...............................................        120,084 
Prepaid Expenses........................................        157,516 
Land....................................................     11,275,507 
Building................................................      3,214,740 
Equipment...............................................        730,627 
Deferred financing acquisition expenses.................        750,000
                                                            ------------ 
Deferred financing acquisition expenses ................    $16,631,918
                                                            ============

The assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed were  transferred  to either the
Company's wholly-owned  subsidiary,  On Stage Theaters,  Inc., or a wholly owned
subsidiary of On Stage  Theaters,  Inc.,  concurrent with the  acquisition.  The
Company has elected to consolidate  the operations of the assets acquired in the
Gedco   Acquisition   retroactively   to  January  1,   1998.   Therefore,   the
pre-acquisition gain of $366,516 has been added to the consolidated statement of
operations  for the nine months ended  September  30,  1998.  The effect of this
consolidation of operations prior to acquisition was an increase in net sales of
approximately $3,099,071.

Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable  year.  The Company's  computer
equipment   and  software  and  devices  with  embedded   technology   that  are
time-sensitive  may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000.  This could  result in a system  failure or  miscalculations  causing
disruptions of operations,  including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process accounting,  payroll,  database,  network, and software transactions,
possible disruption of environmental,  lighting, and security controls, possible
disruption  of copier  and fax  capabilities,  and loss of  telephone  voicemail
messages,  in addition to other similar normal business activities.  The Company
has  undertaken  various  initiatives  intended  to  ensure  that  its  computer
equipment and software will function  properly with respect to dates in the Year
2000  and  thereafter.  For  this  purpose,  the term  "computer  equipment  and
software"   includes  systems  that  are  commonly  thought  of  as  Information
Technology  ("IT")  systems,   including   accounting,   data  processing,   and
telephone/PBX  systems and other miscellaneous  systems, as well as systems that
are not commonly thought of as IT systems,  such as alarm systems, fax machines,
air conditioning  units,  internally  developed software and other miscellaneous
systems.  Both IT and non-IT  systems may  contain  embedded  technology,  which
complicates the Company's Year 2000 identification, assessment, remediation, and
testing efforts.  Based upon its  identification and assessment efforts to date,
the Company  believes  that  certain of the computer  equipment  and software it
currently uses may require  replacement  or  modification.  In addition,  in the
ordinary  course of  replacing  computer  equipment  and  software,  the Company
attempts to obtain  replacements  that are Year 2000  compliant.  Utilizing both
internal  and  external  resources  to  identify  and  assess  needed  Year 2000
remediation,   the   Company   currently   anticipates   that  its   Year   2000
identification,  assessment,  remediation  and testing  efforts,  which began in
February 1998, will be completed by June 30, 1999. The Company estimates that as
of September  30, 1998, it had completed  approximately  25% of the  initiatives
that it believes will be necessary to fully address  potential  Year 2000 issues
relating to its computer  equipment and software.  The projects  comprising  the
remaining 75% of the  initiatives are in process and expected to be completed on
or about June 30, 1999.  Additionally,  the Company has recently  commenced  its
initiatives  relating to the non-IT  systems.  The following table describes the
Year 2000  initiatives  as well as the  Company's  progress and the  anticipated
completion dates as of September 30, 1998:

Time Percent Year 2000 Initiatives Table Complete

Identification regarding non-IT system issues.............. 2/98 - 10/98 100% 
Assessment regarding non-IT system issues.................. 2/98 - 11/98 65% 
Remediation and testing regarding non-IT system issues..... 2/98 - 6/99  35%

The Company is in the process of communicating with its significant  vendors and
service  providers  and  strategic  partners  to  determine  the extent to which
interfaces  with such  entities are  vulnerable  to Year  entities are Year 2000
compliant.  This  process is expected to be  completed  in  December  1998.  The
Company  believes  that the cost of its Year 2000  assessment,  remediation  and
testing  efforts,  as well as those  costs  related to Year 2000 issues of third
parties,  are expected to  approximate  $250,000.  As of September 30, 1998, the
Company  had  not  incurred  any  external   costs  related  to  its  Year  2000
identification, assessment, remediation and testing efforts. Other non-Year 2000
IT  efforts  have  not  been  materially   delayed  or  impacted  by  Year  2000
initiatives.  The Company  presently  believes that the Year 2000 issue will not
pose  significant  operational  problems for the Company.  However,  if all Year
2000issues are not properly identified,  or assessment,  remediation and testing
are not effected  timely with respect to Year 2000 problems that are identified,
there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not materially adversely
impact the Company's  results of  operations  or adversely  affect the Company's
relationships with vendors, or others.  Additionally,  there can be no assurance
that the Year 2000  issues of other  entities  will not have a material  adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations.

Three Months Ended  September  30, 1997 versus Three Months Ended  September 30,
1998

Net Revenues.  Revenues  increased by 58.9% to  $8,060,000  for the three months
ended  September  30, 1998  compared to  $5,071,000  for the three  months ended
September  30,  1997.  The  Company's  revenue  is derived  from four  principal
operating corporations: Casinos, Events, Merchandise and Theaters.

Casinos  revenues  were  approximately  $1,356,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $1,736,000  for the three months ended  September
30,  1997,  a  decrease  of  $380,000,  or 21.9%.  The  decrease  was  primarily
attributable to decrease in revenue  generated from limited run casino shows and
the Legends' show at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino.

Events  revenues  were  $775,000 for the three months ended  September  30, 1998
compared to $569,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997, an increase
of $206,000  or 36.2%.  This  increase  was mainly  attributable  to increase in
business.

Merchandise  revenues  were  approximately  $786,000  for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $166,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997, an increase of $621,000 or 374.1% . This increase was mainly  attributable
to an increase in photo sales and the inclusion of Gedco Acquisition properties.
Theaters  revenues  were  approximately  $5,143,000  for the three  months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $2,600,000  for the three months ended  September
30, 1997,  an increase of  $2,543,000,  or 97.8%.  This increase in revenues was
primarily  attributed  to new show openings in Branson,  Missouri,  and Toronto,
Canada and the inclusion of Gedco Acquisition properties.

Costs of Revenues.  Total costs of revenues were $6,051,000 for the three months
ended  September  30, 1998  compared to $ 3,471,000  for the three  months ended
September  30,  1997,  an increase of  $2,580,000,  or 74.4%.  Costs of revenues
increased to 75.1% of net revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30,
1998, as compared to 68.4% for the three months ended  September 30, 1997.  This
increase in cost of revenues as a % of net revenues was  primarily  attributable
to a change in the mix of the Company's revenues from primarily theater shows to
theater and dinner theater shows.

Selling,  General and Administrative.  Selling, general and administrative costs
were  approximately  $1,271,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to $1,375,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease
of $104,000,  or 7.6%.  Selling,  general and administrative  costs decreased to
15.8% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998, as compared
to 27.1% for the three months ended  September  30,  1997,  which was  primarily
attributable to staff reductions.

compared to the three months ended  September 30, 1997, and increase of $293,000

September 30, 1998 decreased by $391,000,  or 55.4%, as compared to $681,000 for
the three months ended  September 30, 1997, a decrease of $279,00 or 39.4%.  The
decrease  was  primarily  due  to  one-time  interest  expense  related  to  the
conversion  of  debentures  and  the  original  issue  discount  of  the  bridge
financing, which was incurred in 1997, but not in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company has  historically  met its working  capital  requirements  through a
combination  of cash  flow  from  operations,  equity  and  debt  offerings  and
traditional bank financing. The Company anticipates, based on its proposed plans
and assumptions relating to its operations (including  assumptions regarding the
anticipated  timetable  of its  new  show  openings  and  the  costs  associated
therewith),   that  the  Company's  current  cash,  cash  equivalent   balances,
anticipated  revenue  from  operations  and its  working  capital  line  will be
sufficient to fund its current operations and contemplated  capital requirements
through December 31, 1998. However, the Company's acquisition strategy also will
require  additional  debt and/or  equity  financing.  In the event the Company's
plans or  assumptions  change,  prove to be  incorrect,  or if  balances  and/or
anticipated revenues otherwise prove to be insufficient,  the Company would need
to revise its expansion  strategy (which revision could include the curtailment,
delay or elimination of certain of its anticipated productions or the funding of
such productions through arrangements with third parties, which would require it
to  relinquish  rights to a  substantial  portion of its  revenues)  and/or seek
additional  financing prior to the end of such period.  The Company is currently
seeking private equity financing and has hired Imperial Capital, LLC.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company had a net cash deficit
from operations of $509,000 in operations. As of September 30, 1997, the Company
had approximately  $3,593,000 in cash and cash equivalents.  For the nine months
ended  September 30, 1998, the Company had a net cash deficit from operations of
$958,000 in  operations.  As of September 30, 1998,  the Company had $784,000 in
cash and  cash  equivalents.  The  operating  deficits  for  both  periods  were
primarily  attributable to business  seasonality  and pre-opening  costs for new
shows.

The net cash used in investing  activities  for the nine months ended  September
30, 1997 of $728,000.  The net cash used in investing activities for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1998 of $14,728,000,  was primarily  attributable to direct
acquisition costs related to acquisitions.

Net cash provided by financing  activities  for the nine months ended  September
30, 1997 of  $4,539,000  was  primarily  attributable  to proceeds  from sale of
common  stock.  Net cash  provided by financing  activities  for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 of $14,146,000,  was primarily attributable to ICCMIC's
funding of $12,500,000 for the Gedco Acquisition and $1,100,000  million for the
Fox Acquisition.

At  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  had  working  capital of  approximately
$4,127,000, primarily attributable from proceeds of the sale of common stock. At
September 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital  deficit of  approximately
$887,031, primarily attributable to the pre-opening costs of new shows.

Working Capital Line

In May 1997, First Security Bank of Nevada ("First  Security")  issued a line of
credit to the Company for up to $250,000.  Borrowings  under such  facility bear
variable interest at 1.5% over the First Security Bank of Idaho's index (10% per
year as of the facility's  inception) and are due on demand.  On March 28, 1998,
First  Security  increased the line of credit from  $250,000 to  $1,000,000  and
extended the expiration  date of the line to March 25, 1999. As of September 30,
1998, the Company had drawn $1,000,000 on the line of credit. Mortgage Financing
Commitment

On March 13,  1998,  the Company  entered  into the Loan  Agreement  with ICCMIC
pursuant to which ICCMIC agreed to provide the Company with up to $20,000,000 of
mortgage  financing.  On March 28, 1998,  the Company used  $12,500,000  of said
facility to fund the cash  portion of the Gedco  Acquisition  and  related  fees
subsequently  used  $1,100,000  on June 30, 1998 to fund the cash portion of the
Fox  Acquisition  and  $550,000 on October 7, 1998 to help the Company with it's
working  capital  needs.  In  connection  with the Loan  Agreement,  the Company
provided  ICCMIC with the right to provide the Company with up to an  additional
$30,000,000  of mortgage  related  financing.  In addition  concurrent  with the
ICCMIC financing,  Mark Karlan,  the President of ICCMIC,  was named a member of
the Company's  Board of Directors,  filling a vacancy created by the resignation
of Kenneth Berg.

PART II .  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.


On May 28, 1998, Silver State Property Management,  a Nevada corporation,  Roger
A. Bergmann  Enterprises,  a Nevada  corporation,  and R.E. Lyle Corp., a Nevada
corporation filed a complaint in the Second Judicial District Court of the State
of Nevada in and for the County of Washoe  alleging,  among other  things,  that
John W. Stuart,  acting as an agent,  Chairman of the Board and Chief  Executive
Officer of On Stage  Entertainment,  Inc., breached an alleged oral agreement to
purchase  the  Plaintiff's  respective  interests  in  the  Legends  in  Concert
production in Hawaii for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  The Company
has filed an answer to this complaint.

This suit is currently in the discovery stage of litigation.
On August 20, 1998, a complaint  was filed against the Company by the trustee of
the United States  Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada,  alleging Breach
of  Contract,  Monies Due and Owing and  Turnover of the Property to the Estate.
The basis of the  complaint  stems from the purchase of certain  furniture by an
unauthorized  third party who purchased the furniture  while  purporting to be a
representative  of the Company.  The Company believes it has a valid defense for
this claim based upon fraud and  misrepresentation.  The  Company  has  recently
filed its Answer to this Complaint.

On September 25, 1998, the Company successfully defended all three counts of the
complaint filed in March 1997 by Benny R. Pittman, a shareholder of Grand Strand
Entertainment,  Inc.  This suit arose out of dispute as to whether  the  Company
wrongfully  terminated a licensing agreement with Mr. Pittman for the control of
the Company's  Legend in Concert  production in Surfside Beach,  South Carolina.
While the Company  prevailed  on all the counts  alleged in the  complaint,  the
Company stipulated to allow the arbitrator to resolve an equity claim of quantum
meruit,  so as to avoid the  possibility of the suit being re-filed  against the
Company alleging this cause of action, among others, which claim was resolved by
the  arbitrator  in the  favor  of the  plaintiff  for a  total  of  $15,400  in
consideration  for the  substantial  amount of work the  plaintiff  provided  on
behalf of the Company to open the Legends production.
