                    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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 3 - CONTINGENCIES

The AFL is party  to a number  of  lawsuits  arising  in the  normal  course  of
business.  The Company is contingently liable for its share of the outcomes.  In
the opinion of  management,  the  resolution  of these  matters  will not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position.

NOTE 4 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT

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). On August 31, 1998
the Company  completed a private  placement for 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.  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  restricted
stock.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE - BRIDGE LOANS

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
the earlier of December 31, 2001 or on 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  promissory  notes,  $1,050,000 were sold to current  stockholders or
directors,  including  $850,000  to  Monolith.  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.

NOTE 6 -  SUPPLEMENTAL  INFORMATION  TO  STATEMENT  OF CASH  FLOWS  FOR  NONCASH
      FINANCING ACTIVITIES

On August 31, 1998 the Company  converted notes of $755,000 and accrued interest
of $5,573 to 304,229 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

The  Company  provided  telemarketing  services  valued at $137,600 to a Company
owned  by  the  principal   stockholder   of  the  Company.   Expenses  for  the
telemarketing services were $102,191.

NOTE 8 - MONOLITH LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PUT AGREEMENT

In August, 1998, Monolith Limited Partnership ("Monolith"),  a major stockholder
of the  Company,  entered  into an  agreement  with a third party (who is also a
partner in Monolith),  who purchased  1,000,000  shares of the Company's Class A
common stock for $2,000,000. The agreement requires Monolith to purchase 600,000
shares of the Company's Class A common stock from the third party for $4,000,000
at the third  party's  option.  The agreement was amended in May 1999, to extend
the  period of  exercise  through  March  2001.  Generally  accepted  accounting
principles require that the Company record a capital  contribution from Monolith
of $2,802,000 on the date of the  transaction,  with a  corresponding  charge to
retained  earnings.  This amount is also reflected as an addition to net loss in
computing  net loss  attributable  to common  stockholders,  in the earnings per
share  computation.  On July 13, 1999,  the option  agreement for 275,000 of the
600,000 shares was exercised.  In consideration for $550,000 paid by Monolith to
the third party, as a cancellation  fee, the third party agreed to terminate its
put right for the remaining shares.

NOTE 9 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company organizes its business units into two reportable segments:  football
operations and telemarketing  services. The football operations segment operates
the AFL team  and the  telemarketing  services  segment  provides  telemarketing
services to a related party.

The segment's accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary
of significant accounting policies included the Company's Form 10K-SB filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended December 31, 1997.

The Company's  reportable  business  segments are strategic  business units that
offer different products and services. The segments are managed together because
they utilize  similar  resources  within the Company.  There were no  reportable
segments  during the period ended  December 31, 1997.  All assets of the Company
relate to the football operations segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  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.

Amended Form 10-QSB
- -------------------
This amended Form 10-QSB reflects the effect of a put agreement  entered into by
Monolith Limited Partnership  ("Monolith"),  a major shareholder of the Company,
in  August  1998,  whereby  Monolith  arranged  for the  sale  to a third  party
1,000,000  shares of the Company's Class A common stock and agreed to repurchase
600,000 of those shares for $4,000,000, at the third party's option, through May
1999.  The  agreement  was  amended in May 1999 to extend the period of exercise
through March 2001.  The third party is also a partner in Monolith.  As a result
of this  transaction,  the  Company  has  recorded a capital  contribution  from
Monolith of $2,802,000 and a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital,
in the  accompanying  financial  statements.  There was no effect on income as a
result of this transaction.  The calculation of earnings per share has also been
amended to reflect an addition to net loss, in computing  net loss  attributable
to common stockholders, as the charge to retained earnings is treated similar to
a preferred stock dividend. On July 13, 1999, the option agreement was exercised
for  275,000 of the  600,000  shares.  In  consideration  for  $550,000  paid by
Monolith to the third party as a  cancellation  fee,  the third party  agreed to
terminate the put right for the remaining shares.

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


The Company has made the following  additional  adjustments to the  accompanying
financial  statements,  resulting in a net  increase of the net loss  previously
reported of $820,580 to $879,924:

o    Accrued  sales  commission  in  accordance  with the terms of an employment
     contract.

o    Wrote-off certain sponsorship receivables.

o    Reclassified  certain  general and  administrative  expenses to selling and
     promotional expenses and operations expenses.

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.

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  $1,815,651  increased  by  $219,587  or 14%  compared to
$1,596,064 in the prior period.  The increase was a result of increased  medical
costs due to post-season surgeries and increased salaries.

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


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  $576,342  increased  by $176,991 or 44%
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.

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.

General and Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------------------
General  and  administrative  expenses  were  $810,797.  This is an  increase of
$172,551  compared  with  $638,246 in the prior  period.  This  increase  can be
attributed  to  increased  payroll  costs 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.

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


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.

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 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  Company's  share of the Los
Angeles expansion revenue.
