                  On Stage Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2000

Basis of Presentation

     The financial statements included in this report include the accounts of On
Stage  Entertainment,  Inc.,  a  publicly  traded  Nevada  corporation  and  its
subsidiaries:   Legends  in  Concert,  Inc.,  a  Nevada  corporation;  On  Stage
Marketing,  Inc.,  a Nevada  corporation;  On  Stage  Theaters,  Inc.,  a Nevada
corporation; Wild Bill's California, Inc., a Nevada corporation; Blazing Pianos,
Inc., a Nevada corporation;  King Henry's Inc., a Nevada  corporation;  On Stage
Merchandise,  Inc.,  a Nevada  corporation;  On  Stage  Events,  Inc.,  a Nevada
corporation; On Stage Casino Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada corporation; On Stage
Productions,  Inc., a Nevada corporation;  On Stage Theaters North Myrtle Beach,
Inc., a Nevada corporation; and On Stage Theaters Surfside Beach, Inc., a Nevada
corporation.

     In the  opinion  of the  management  of On Stage  Entertainment,  Inc.  and
Subsidiaries,  the  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements
include  all normal  adjustments  considered  necessary  to  present  fairly the
financial  position as of September 30, 2000,  and the results of operations and
cash  flows for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999.  Interim
results  are  not   necessarily   indicative  of  results  for  full  year.  The
consolidated  financial  statements and notes are presented as permitted by form
10-Q,  and do not  contain  information  included  in our  audited  consolidated
financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

(1) Going Concern

     The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  prepared
assuming that On Stage will continue as a going concern,  which contemplates the
realization of assets and the  satisfaction  of liabilities in the normal course
of business.  The carrying  amounts of assets and  liabilities  presented in the
financial  statements  do not  purport to  represent  realizable  or  settlement
values. However, On Stage has suffered recurring operating losses, has a working
capital deficit of $17,048,000  and has defaulted on its long-term  debt.  These
factors  raise  substantial  doubt  about the  ability  to  continue  as a going
concern.  The consolidated  financial  statements do not include any adjustments
that might  result  from the outcome of those  uncertainties.  The report of our
independent  certified  public  accountant  for the year ended December 31, 1999
contains an explanatory  paragraph  regarding the  uncertainty of our ability to
continue as a going concern.

     On Stage has  historically met its working capital  requirements  through a
combination  of cash  flow  from  operations,  equity  and  debt  offerings  and
traditional bank financing. On Stage anticipates based on our proposed plans and
assumptions  relating to our operations  that the current cash,  cash equivalent
balances,  anticipated  revenue from  operations  are  insufficient  to fund our
ongoing operations.

     Management  plans to  manage  short-term  liquidity  concerns  through  the
renegotiations of its expired working capital line,  capital leases and mortgage
facilities.  On Stage has either closed down or restructured  any business units
that are not  generating  positive cash flow.  In addition,  the we have lowered
selling,  general and  administrative  costs as a percent of net  revenues  from
14.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to 12.1% for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000 and continues to downsize and restructure its selling,
general and administrative functions.

     In addition,  On Stage is continuing its efforts to secure working  capital
for operations,  expansion and possible  acquisitions,  mergers, joint ventures,
and/or other business  combinations.  However, there can be no assurance that On
Stage  will be able to secure  additional  capital  or that if such  capital  is
available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us.

(2)  Sale of Surfside Beach Theater

     On September 15, 2000, On Stage Entertainment subsidiary, On Stage Theaters
Surfside  Beach,  Inc.  sold its Legends in Concert  Theater in Surfside  Beach,
South Carolina to LIC Theatres,  LLC for $2.0mm.  In connection with the sale of
the Theater,  Legends Surfside entered into a ten (10) year lease agreement with
LIC  Theatres,  LLC, to ensure that the  performances  of its Legends in Concert
production at the Theater,  which is one of our largest  revenue  sources,  will
continue for many years to come.  The proceeds from the sale of the Theater were
given  to the  Company's  first  mortgage  lender,  Imperial  Credit  Commercial
Mortgage  Investment  Corp.,  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  its  partial
settlement agreement with ICCMIC.

 (3) Loss per share

     Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No. 128,  Earnings per Share
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  reflect the potential
dilution of securities  that could share in the earnings of the entity,  similar
to fully diluted earnings per share.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, potential dilutive securities
representing  1,125,550  outstanding  stock  options and  3,660,155  outstanding
warrants are not included,  since their effect would be  anti-dilutive.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, potential dilutive securities representing
1,224,850  outstanding stock options and 3,660,155  outstanding warrants are not
included, since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

(4) Commitments and Contingencies

     We are a party to various legal  proceedings  in which the adverse  parties
are seeking  damages from us.  While there can be no  assurance  that any of the
instituted or threatened lawsuits will be settled or decided in favor of us, the
management  of On Stage does not believe the final  resolution  of these matters
will have a material adverse effect upon the our financial condition and results
of operations.

 (5) Direct acquisition costs

     On March 31, 2000, On Stage  wrote-off  direct  acquisition  costs totaling
$597,328, which had no future value.

(6) Deferred financing charges

     On June 30, 2000, On Stage wrote-off  deferred  financing  charges totaling
$927,190, which had no future value.

 (7) Segment information

     The following  information  is presented in  accordance  with SFAS No. 131,
which was adopted by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1998.

                                        6

The Company derives its net revenues from five reportable segments:

o    Casinos. The Casinos segment primarily sells live theatrical productions to

o    Theaters.  The Theaters segment owns and /or rents live theaters and dinner
     theaters  in urban and resort  tourist  locations  primarily  in the United
     States.  The Theaters  segment  derives  revenues  from the sale of tickets
     along with food and  beverages  to patrons  who attend our live  theatrical
     productions.

o    Events. The Events segment sells live theatrical  productions to commercial
     clients,  which include corporations,  theme and amusement parks and cruise
     lines for a fixed  fee.  Revenues  generated  from the Events  segment  are
     included in the Casinos segment.

o    Merchandise.   The  Merchandise  segment  sells  merchandise  and  souvenir
     photography  products  to patrons  who attend our  Casinos,  Theaters,  and
     Events  productions.  Revenues  generated from the merchandise  segment are
     included in the Theaters segment.

o    Production  Services.  The  Production  Services  segment  sells  technical
     equipment  and services to  commercial  clients.  However,  the  Production
     Services segment's primary focus is to provide technical support for all of
     the Casinos, Theaters, Events and Merchandise segments.

     The accounting  policies of the reportable  operating segments are the same
as  those  described  in the  Summary  of  Accounting  Policies.  The  Company's
management  evaluates the  performance of its operating  segments based upon the
profit or loss from  operations.  On Stage  reportable  segments  are  strategic
business  units  because  each  business  unit  services a  different  market or
performs a specialized function in support of a given market.

The following table sets forth the segment profit/(loss) and asset information

(8) Subsequent Event

     On October 12, 2000, On Stage  restructured  our debt with Imperial  Credit
Commercial Mortgage Investment Corp ("ICCMIC"), and First Security Bank ("FSB").
Under the terms of the agreement,  ICCMIC agreed to covert its outstanding  loan
to the  Company of  approximately  $10 million  for  4,061,122  shares of common
stock, which  approximates $2.46 per share. As part of the transaction,  Timothy
J. Parrott,  the new President & CEO, purchased 2,630,000 shares from ICCMIC for
$1.0 million. In connection with this transaction,  the Company restructured its
only remaining debt of  approximately  $1.2 million with FSB. Under the terms of
the agreement with FSB, effective August 1, 2000, On Stage is paying $50,000 per
month. The loan accrues interest at the rate of Prime plus 2%. On Stage recorded
a gain on debt restructuring of $10,982,000 based on a market value of $0.31 per
share.

     Also  joining Mr.  Parrott at On Stage is Jeff Victor,  as  Executive  Vice
President.  Most recently Victor served as Vice President and General Manager of
"Star Trek: The  Experience" at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel.  Previously,  Victor
worked  directly for Parrott as Vice President of  Entertainment  for all of the
Boomtown casinos.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations

     This document contains certain forward-looking  statements that are subject
to  risks  and   uncertainties.   Forward-looking   statements  include  certain
information  relating to potential new show openings,  the potential markets for
On Stage's  productions,  the  expansion  of existing and  potential  gaming and
tourist  markets,  our exposure to various  trends in the gaming  industry,  our
acquisition  plans and the benefits we anticipate from these  acquisitions,  our
business strategy, our outstanding litigation matters and the defenses available
to us,  the  seasonality  of our  business,  and  liquidity  issues,  as well as
information  contained  elsewhere in this report where  current  statements  are
preceded  by,   followed  by  or  include  the  words   "believes,"   "expects,"
"anticipates" or similar expressions.  For these statements, On Stage claims the
protection of the safe harbor for  forward-looking  statements  contained in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements
in this  document  are subject to risks and  uncertainties  that could cause the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking  statements and the actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements.

     The most  important  factors that could prevent On Stage from achieving our
goals and cause the assumptions  underlying the  forward-looking  statements and
the actual results to differ  materially  from those  expressed in or implied by
those  forward-looking  statements  include the  information  provided under the
heading "Description of Business-Risk Factors" in Item 1 of our Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999, as well as the following:

o    On Stage's dependence on our flagship Legends in Concert production and our
     principal production venues;

o    The  ability to  successfully  produce  and market new  productions  and to
     manage the growth associated with the any new productions;

o    Risks  associated with our acquisition  strategy,  including our ability to
     successfully identify, complete and integrate strategic acquisitions;

o    The ability to meet our  commitments,  obtain  alternative  and  additional
     financing on commercially reasonable terms;

o    The ability to continue as an ongoing concern;

o    The competitive  nature of the leisure and  entertainment  industry and the
     ability to continue to distinguish our services;

o    Fluctuations in quarterly  operating results and the highly seasonal nature
     of our business;

o    The ability to  reproduce  the  performance,  likeness and voice of various
     celebrities without infringing on the publicity rights of those celebrities
     or their  estates,  as well as our  ability  to  protect  our  intellectual
     property rights;

o    The ability to successfully manage the litigation pending against us and to
     avoid future litigation;and

o    The results of operations which depend on numerous  factors,  including the
     commencement  and  expiration  of  contracts,  the timing and amount of new
     business  generated  by us,  our  revenue  mix,  the  timing  and  level of
     additional  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense and the general
     competitive conditions in the leisure and entertainment industry as well as
     the overall economy.

Quarter Ended September 30, 1999 versus Quarter Ended September 30, 2000

     Net Revenues.  Revenues were approximately $6,393,000 for the quarter ended

of net revenues for the quarter  ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to 72.3%

percentage of revenue was primarily  attributable  to a change in the mix of our
revenues.

costs were approximately  $1,040,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to $1,023,000 for the quarter ended  September 30, 1999, an increase of
$17,000,  or  1.7%.  This is  primarily  attributable  to an  increase  in legal
expenses.  Selling,  general and administrative  costs increased to 16.3% of net
revenues  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  2000,  as  compared to 13.1% for the

write down of assets held for sale and subject to foreclosure.

     Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges represents expenses related to
the   closing   of  the   Legends   show  in   Toronto,   Canada,   payment   of

relocation expenses of a key executive.

the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to an operating income of $744,000

2000 decreased by $679,000,  or 95.4% as compared to the quarter ended September

Credit debt, together with penalties and default interest rates.

     Other  Income.  Other  income for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  2000
decreased by $76,000,  or 20.6% as compared to the quarter  ended  September 30,

accounts payable rescheduling measure of our restructuring plan.

     Loss on Disposition  of Property Plant and Equipment.  Loss on disposal for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased by $237,000,  as compared to
the  three  months  ended   September  30,  1999.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to the sale of the Legends in Concert  Theater in Surfside  Beach,
South Carolina.

     Income Taxes. On Stage is a Nevada  corporation with a substantial  portion
of revenue  and income  derived  in Nevada.  There are no state or local  income
taxes in Nevada.  We have not  accrued  any  federal  income tax for the quarter
ended  September  30, 2000.  At September  30, 1999 and 2000, we had federal net
operating  loss  carryforwards  of  approximately  $3,958,000  and  $17,745,000,
respectively.   Under  Section  382  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code,   certain
significant  changes in  ownership  that On Stage is currently  undertaking  may
restrict  the  future  utilization  of  these  tax loss  carryforwards.  The net
deferred  tax assets  have a 100%  valuation  allowance,  as  management  cannot
determine  if it is more  likely than not that the  deferred  tax assets will be
realized.

attributable  to  decrease  in revenue  generated  by the  Legends  shows at the
Imperial  Palace in Las Vegas,  and Limited  Engagements  and corporate  events.
These increases were partially offset by the addition of the new Legends show on
Premier Cruise Lines and at the Legends show at the Imperial  Palace and Casino,
in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

     On Stage's  business has been, and is expected to remain,  highly seasonal,
with the  majority of our  revenue  being  generated  during the months of April
through October.  Part of our business  strategy is to increase sales in tourist
markets that experience their peak seasons from November through March, so as to
offset this seasonality in revenues.

     The following  table sets forth On Stage's net revenue for each of the last
seven quarters ended September 30, 2000:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

     On Stage has  historically met its working capital  requirements  through a
combination  of cash  flow  from  operations,  equity  and  debt  offerings  and
traditional bank financing.  On Stage  anticipates,  based on our proposed plans
and assumptions relating to our operations (including  assumptions regarding the
anticipated  timetable  of our  new  show  openings  and  the  costs  associated
therewith),  that On Stage current cash, cash equivalent  balances,  anticipated
revenue from  operation  and our working  capital line will not be sufficient to
fund our ongoing operations and contemplated  capital requirements over the next
12 months.

Going Concern

     On Stage has suffered  recurring  operating  losses,  has a working capital
deficit of $17,048,000,  and has defaulted on our long-term debt.  These factors
raise  substantial  doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The
consolidated  financial  statements  do not include any  adjustments  that might
result from the outcome of those  uncertainties.  The report of our  independent
certified  public  accountant  for the year ended  December 31, 1999 contains an
explanatory  paragraph regarding the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a
going concern.

     Management  plans to  manage  short-term  liquidity  concerns  through  the
renegotiation  of its expired working capital line,  capital leases and mortgage
facilities.  On Stage has either closed down or restructured  any business units
that are not  generating  positive cash flow. In addition,  On Stage has lowered
selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues from 14.5%
for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  12.1% for the nine months ended
September  30, 2000 and  continues  to downsize  and  restructure  our  selling,
general and administrative costs.

Cash Flow

     For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  On  Stage  had net cash
provided by operations of approximately  $363,000.  As of September 30, 1999, On
Stage had approximately $612,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The cash provided
by operations was primarily  attributable  to an increase in accrued payroll and
other  liabilities.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, On Stage had
net cash provided by operations of approximately $1,158,000. As of September 30,
2000, On Stage had approximately $817,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The cash
provided by operations  was primarily  attributable  to the write-down of assets
and write-off of debt financing costs.

     The net  cash  used in  investing  activities  for the  nine  months  ended
September   30,  1999  of  $165,000  was  primarily   attributable   to  capital
expenditures.  The net cash  provided  from  investing  activities  for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000 of $1,742,000,  was primarily  attributable  to
proceeds from the sale of assets.

     Net cash used by financing  activities for the nine months ended  September
30, 1999 of $507,000,  was attributable to repayment of long-term  borrowing and
repayment  under  working  capital  lines,  partially  offset by the issuance of
common stock and notes payable to officer. Net cash used in financing activities
for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000 of  $2,459,000,  was  primarily
attributable to the repayment of line of credit and long-term debt.
