                   THE ORLANDO PREDATORS ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in 
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not 
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements for the period 
ended September 30, 1998 are presented on a basis consistent with the audited 
financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal 
recurring accruals, necessary for fair presentation of the results of such 
period.  

Audited financial statements for Orlando Predators, a division of Orlando 
Predators, Ltd., the predecessor owner, for the period prior to acquisition, 
January 1, 1997 through February 13, 1997, are not presented since no 
substantial activities took place during that period.

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the 
periods ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results of operations for the full year.  These financial statements and 
related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements 
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended December 31, 1997.

Certain amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been 
reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year.

NOTE 2 - PURCHASE OF EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE AFL

In August 1998 the Company acquired two, non-voting, equity interests in the 
Arena Football League, Inc. (AFL) for $6,000,000.  Each similar equity 
interest entitles the Company to share equally with each other member in AFL 
revenues. The AFL guarantees to pay the Company at least $480,000 per year 
until the Company receives an aggregate of $6,000,000 through League 
distribution.  If the Company receives $6,000,000 within one year from the 
closing of the purchase, one equity interest returns to the League and one 
equity interest remains with the Company without any guaranteed rate of 
return.  Once the Company receives an aggregate of $6,000,000, the Company 
will participate in all League revenues, expenses and liabilities with 
respect to the two equity interests.

The $6,000,000 was paid as follows:  $3,500,000 was paid with the executed 
contract and $2,500,000 was paid on August 14, 1998.  

The purchase of the interests requires that the two, non-voting, equity
interests in the League are recorded under the equity method of accounting at
$4,071,437, and an unsecured, note receivable is recorded for $1,965,971 from
the League, with imputed interest of 23% and principal due annually on August 14
of each year.  The minimum principal and interest payment is $480,000 annually.

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

GENERAL

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the arena football 
operations of the Predators.  This revenue is primarily generated from (i) 
the sale of tickets to the Predators' home games, (ii) the sale of 
advertising and promotions to Predator sponsors, (iii) the sale of local and 
regional broadcast rights to Predators' games, (iv) the Predators' share of 
League contracts with national broadcast organizations and expansion team 
fees paid through the AFL, (v) the sale of merchandise carrying the 
Predators' logos and (vi) concession sales at Predators' home games. A large 
portion of the Company's annual revenue is determinable at the commencement 
of each football season based on season ticket sales and contracts with 
broadcast organizations and team sponsors.

The operations of the team are year-round; however, the majority of revenues 
and expenses are recognized during the AFL playing season, from April through 
August of each year.  The team begins to receive deposits in late September 
for season tickets for the upcoming season.  From September through April, 
the team sells season tickets and collects revenue from all such sales. 
Selling, advertising and promotions also take place from September through 
April, although these revenues are not realized until after the season 
begins.  Single game tickets and partial advertising sponsorships are also 
sold during the season, primarily from April through July.  Additional 
revenues are recognized in August from playoff games, if any.

Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters set 
forth in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the 
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 
1995.  These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and 
uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.  These 
risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These forward-looking 
statements speak only as of the date hereof.  The Company disclaims any 
intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD FEBRUARY 14 TO 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

REVENUES
The Company recognizes game revenues and expenses over the course of the season
(April through August).

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $2,984,467, which 
represented an increase of $323,901 or 12% as compared to revenues of 
$2,660,566 for the period ended September 30, 1997.

Season ticket prices for the 1998 season decreased by an average of 10%; 
however, the number of season ticket holders increased by 1,889, which 
represents an increase in season ticket holders of over 38% for the year.

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


REVENUES (CONTINUED)

In comparing the two periods, operating under the new lease agreement for the 
arena, the Company generated $122,866 in concession income for the nine home 
games played in this period compared to the prior period when no concession 
income was generated.

Playoff game revenue decreased by $9,556 or 8% compared to the prior year.  
This was due to the reduction of ticket prices for the 1998 season.  Playoff 
game revenue sharing increased by $50,000 due to the team playing an extra 
game and winning the championship over the Tampa Bay Storm by a score of 
62-31.

Sponsorship sales increased by $72,210 or 11% compared to the prior period. 
League revenues decreased in the amount of $81,250 or 45% over the prior 
period.

Telemarketing revenue is a new segment for the Company this year.  It has 
earned income of $137,600.  It generates commissions based on the number of 
sales made through an employee leasing company, which is owned by a related 
party.  The Company anticipates the expansion of this division in the future 
and to continue to use it to generate sales of season tickets.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses of $1,634,948 increased by $38,884 or 2% compared to
$1,596,064 in the prior period.  The increase was a result of increased medical
costs due to post-season surgeries.

PLAYOFF EXPENSES
Playoff expenses of $352,016 increased by $122,688 in this period compared to
$229,328 in the prior period.  This was due to the additional championship away
game.  In the prior year, the Company had two playoff games compared to three
games for the current year.

SELLING AND PROMOTIONAL EXPENSES
Selling and promotional expenses of $479,901 increased by $80,350 or 21%
compared to the prior period.  This is primarily due to a new telemarketing
department which helped to generate increased sales of season tickets by 1,889. 
The increased costs of $159,216 for telemarketing were offset by decreases of
$78,864 in other advertising costs. 

LEAGUE ASSESSMENTS
League assessments of $92,875 decreased by $131,747 or 59% compared to $224,622
in the prior period.  This decrease is due to a reduction in expenses associated
with legal settlements and legal bills with former teams as well as other
claims.  The AFL is comprised of a number of teams who share in all league
expenses and some league revenues.  League assessments are based upon the team's
share of league operating expenses and other league expenses such as legal
settlements.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

EXPENSES (CONTINUED)

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses were $1,028,797.  This is an increase of
$390,551 compared with $638,246 in the prior period.  This increase can be
attributed to increased payroll costs of $248,168 due to an increase in the
number of employees.  It can also be attributed to the shorter prior period. 
Other increases included offering costs from a discontinued offering of $57,046,
legal costs of $21,538 and office operations costs of $63,799.

TELEMARKETING EXPENSE
Due to the addition of the new telemarketing services segment, the Company
incurred expenses in the amount of $102,191.  These costs were associated with
operating this segment.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $61,499
compared to $67,581 for the prior period.  Related party interest expense was
$34,256 compared to $67,581 for the prior period.  The interest expense and the
related party interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 1998
was related to bridge loans of $2,000,000, which was used in the initial
downpayment for $3,500,000 in securing the two equity interests in the AFL.  The
interest expense during the period ended September 30, 1997 was related to the
debt assumed in the purchase of the Company and additional advances for
operations made by stockholders of the Company.

INTEREST INCOME
Interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $112,089
compared to $5,875 for the prior period.  The increase can be attributed to the
proceeds received from the initial public offering and the accrual of interest
related to the note receivable recorded from the League.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company financed net operating losses primarily with loans 
from the team's former managing general partners.

Through December 10, 1997, the Company had issued an aggregate of $2,342,970 
in promissory notes (together with interest thereon) to its two stockholders, 
most of which were repaid from proceeds of the IPO. During April 1998, the 
Company completed an offering of 40 units in a Private Placement.  Each unit 
consisted of one $50,000 promissory note (totaling $2,000,000) bearing 
interest at 7% per annum and 4,000 warrants to purchase the Company's Class A 
Common Stock expiring December 31, 2001.  The notes are payable on the 
earlier of December 31, 2001 or the closing date of a public offering in 
excess of $5,000,000.  Underwriters were paid a commission of $95,000.  Of 
the $2,000,000 in promissory notes, $1,050,000 were sold to current 
stockholders or directors, including $850,000 to Monolith.

On August 11, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of 1,250,000 
shares of its class A common stock for $2,500,000 ($2.00 per share) with no 
offering costs.  These proceeds were used to complete the purchase of the 
equity interests in the AFL as described in Note 2.


                                      11
<PAGE>

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

On August 31, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of 1,200,000 
shares of its Class A common stock for $3,000,000 ($2.50 per share) and paid 
offering costs of $738,559.  Proceeds from this private placement were used 
to pay off the outstanding bridge loans and interest (Note 5).  The remaining 
proceeds were used for working capital needs.

Notes of $755,000 and accrued interest of $5,573 were converted to 304,229 
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in the August 31, 1998 private 
placement.  The remaining notes payable and accrued interest of $1,295,774 
were paid on September 1, 1998.

On October 13, 1998, the Company completed another private placement 
offering. It consisted of one investor totaling $250,000 ($2.50 per share), 
with commissions of 15% or $37,500 paid for 100,000 shares of Class A common 
stock. These proceeds were used to fund current operations.

The reduction of indebtedness using proceeds of the private placements 
improved the Company's liquidity by reducing indebtedness required to be paid 
in the future.  The Company believes that cash flows from operations, along 
with distributions related to the recent purchase of two equity interests in 
the AFL will enhance the Company's future cash flows and satisfy the 
Company's anticipated working capital requirements for at least the next 12 
months.  This will be accomplished by having the AFL make a minimum principle 
and interest payment to the Company in the amount of $480,000 annually.

On November 5, 1998, the Company received a payment from the League in the
amount of $672,790.  This payment represented the minimum annual payment of
$480,000, as well as, a distribution from the League in the amount of $192,790.
