NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2000, the Company settled a dispute with the League regarding the
payment terms of the Nth Agreement, as a result the Company will receive a
guaranteed amount of $480,000 per year and all additional monies received from
the League will go to the repayment of the remaining $1,965,971 owed to the
Company. Subsequently, the Company will continue to receive their pro rata share
of League revenues.

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

                                     General

The Company is in the sports entertainment business and (i) owns and operates
the Orlando Predators (the "Predators" or the "team"), a professional arena
football team of the Arena Football League (the "AFL" or the "League") and (ii)
owns an additional 8.4% revenue interest in the League (in addition to its
League ownership through the Predators). Arena football is played in an indoor
arena on a padded 50-yard long football field using eight players on the field
for each team. Most of the game rules are similar to college or other
professional football game rules with certain exceptions intended to make the
game faster and more exciting.

The Company's strategy is to participate through the operation of the Predators
and through its league ownership in what the Company believes will be continued
significant growth of the AFL which in turn is expected to result in increased
revenue to the Company generated from (i) national (League) and regional (team)
broadcast contracts, (ii) national league sponsorship contracts, (iii) the sale
of additional League Membership fees, and (iv) increased fan attendance at AFL
games including Predators' games, together with appreciation in the value of the
Predators as an AFL team. The trend toward ongoing League growth was evidenced
by the announcement by the National Football League's ("NFL") purchase of an
option to acquire up to 49.9% of the League, and the sale of league memberships
during 1999.

At the team level, the Company's strategy is to increase fan attendance at
Predators' home games, expand the Predators' advertising and sponsorship base,
and contract with additional local and regional broadcasters to broadcast
Predators' games.

The Company currently 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 August for season
tickets during the upcoming season. From August through April, the team sells
season tickets and collects revenue from all such sales. Selling, advertising
and promotions also take place from August 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 to July. Additional revenues and expenses are recognized in August from
playoff games, if any.

In May 1999, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire
United Sports Ventures, Inc. ("USV"). USV wholly or partially owns and operates
the Quad City Mallards, the Rockford Ice Hogs and the Missouri River Otters of
the United Hockey League and the Mobile Bay Bears (AA affiliate of the San Diego
Padres) professional baseball club. The Company expects to complete the
acquisition by September 2000.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared To The Three Months Ended March 31,
1999

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

The football division generated revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2000 were $2,943 which represented an decrease of $228 or 7% as compared to
revenues for the period ended March 31, 1999 of $3,171.

The telemarketing division also generated revenue of $8,927 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $46,989 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. The division produced revenue from selling season tickets for the San Jose
SaberCats of the AFL and the Missouri River Otters of the UHL. The Company
anticipates the expansion of this division in the future to other teams in the
AFL, arenafootball2 (the AFL's minor league system began play in April 2000) and
other minor league hockey and baseball teams.

Selling and Promotional Expenses
- --------------------------------
Selling and promotional expenses of $1,969 decreased $475 or 19% for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $2,444 for the three months ended March
31, 1999. These expenses were related to selling team merchandise.

General and Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------------------
General and administrative expenses of $295,101 increased $137,834 or 88% for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $157,267 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. This increase can be primarily attributed to the opening
of a new corporate office and legal fees associated with the Youngblood
settlement.

Interest Income/Expense
- -----------------------
Interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $113,282 as
compared to $113,868 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company will
now record the majority of the monies received from the League as a reduction of
principle until approximately 4.6 million is received. Afterwards 100% of League
revenue related to the Nth Purchase Agreement will recognized as revenue.

Related party interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$3,116 as compared to $0 for the prior period. The interest expense during this
period was related to a loan from a stockholder of $125,000, which was used for
operating capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Historically, the Company has financed net operating losses primarily with loans
from the team's former managing general partners and the sale of its securities.

During April 1998, the Company completed an offering of 40 units, with each unit
consisting of one $50,000 promissory note 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 were due on the earlier of December 31, 2001 or the closing
date of a public offering in excess of $5,000,000. A commission of $95,000 was
paid in connection with the transaction. Of the $2,000,000 (40units) promissory
notes, $1,050,000 (21 units) was sold to current stockholders or directors,
including $850,000 (17 units) 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.

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 Arena Football League.

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 $749,557. Proceeds from this private placement were used to
pay off the outstanding bridge loans and interest. The remaining proceeds were
used for working capital needs.

In October 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.

On November 5, 1998, the Company received a payment from the League in the
amount of $672,791. This payment represented expansion revenue related to the
Los Angeles expansion team that will begin play in 2000.

In January and February 1999, the Company completed another private placement
offering. It consisted of three investors totaling $145,000 ($2.50-$3.00 per
share), with commissions of 15% or $21,750 paid for 75,000 shares of Class A
common stock. These proceeds were used to fund current operations.

On September 26, 1999, the Company received a payment from the League in the
amount of $547,858. This represented expansion revenue related to the Chicago
expansion team that will begin play in 2001.

In June 1999, the Monolith Limited Partnership, ("Monolith"), a major
stockholder of the Company, loaned the Company $350,000, due in September 2002
with interest at 8% annually. The note was repaid in July 1999.

In July 1999, the Company issued a convertible note payable to a stockholder of
the Company for $250,000, convertible at $4.50 per share, due in September 2001
with interest at 10% annually. The Company granted warrants to purchase 25,000
shares of the Company's Class A common stock at $4.50 per share, which expire in
July 2004 in conjunction with the issuance of the note payable. In October 1999,
the company repaid $125,000 of the convertible note and 12,500 of the warrants
were canceled.

In October and November 1999, the Company received payments from the League in
the amount of $682,488. This represented expansion revenue related to the
Carolina membership that will begin play in 2000.

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

In November 1999, the Company completed another private placement offering. It
consisted of one investor totaling $100,000 ($2.00 per share), with commissions
of 10% or $10,000 paid for 50,000 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 its 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 the requirement that the AFL make a minimum principal and
interest payment to the Company in the amount of $480,000 annually.

Year 2000 Issue

Many computer systems and other equipment with embedded chips or microprocessors
may not be able to appropriately interpret dates after December 31, 1999 because
such systems use only two digits to indicate a year in the date field rather
than four digits. If not corrected, many computers and computer applications
could fail or create miscalculations, causing disruptions to the Company's
operations. In addition, the failure of customer and supplier computer systems
could result in interruption of sales and deliveries of key supplies or
utilities. Because of the complexity of the issues and the number of parties
involved, the Company cannot reasonably predict with certainty the nature or
likelihood of such impacts.

While the Company believes that its own internal assessment and planning efforts
with respect to its external service providers, suppliers, customers and
financial institutions are and will be adequate to address its Year 2000
concerns, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful or
will not have a material adverse effect on the Companies' operations. Costs in
connection with compliance were not significant.

To date, the Company has not experienced any interruptions with respect to the
Year 2000 issue, but cannot reasonably predict with certainty that they will not
experience any interruptions.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     In December 1998, Jack Youngblood, the Company's former President, filed
suit against the Company in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in
and for Orange County, Florida captioned Youngblood vs. The Orlando Predators
Entertainment, Inc., et al. (Case No. C98-10027-35). Mr. Youngblood alleges that
the Company breached its employment agreement with Mr. Youngblood by terminating
his employment for job abandonment and by issuing defamatory press releases. The
Company settled with Mr. Youngblood in March 2000 for an amount of $300,000. Mr.
Youngblood also retained his 34,500 stock options at an exercise price of $2.00
per share. The Company believes it will be reimbursed at a minimum of 50% of the
settlement by its D/O Insurance carrier plus 50% of its legal fees in excess of
the deductible.

     In July 1999, the Arena Football League ("AFL") and all of its member teams
were joined as defendants in a civil action brought by Charlotte Arena Football
League, Inc., a former AFL team operator (the case is captioned Charlotte Arena
football, Ltd. et. al. vs. Arena Football League, Inc., et. al., United States
District Court for the Middle District of Florida) in which the Plaintiffs seek
damages for alleged violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act, for certain
tortious conduct, for breach of fiduciary duties and for civil conspiracy. The
complaint seeks damages against the defendants in amounts exceeding $300
million. Costs of defense and payment of any damages by the defendants will be
advanced by the AFL to be shared equally by all of the AFL teams. The Company
has been advised that the AFL believes the civil action is without merit and
intends to vigorously defend against it.

     In February 2000, the Arena Football League ("AFL") and all of its member
teams, including the Company, were joined as defendants in a civil action
brought by several AFL players (the case is captioned James Guidry, et. al. vs.
Arena Football League L.L.C. et. al., United States District Court, District of
New Jersey, Case Number 00-533-HAA) in which plaintiffs seek damages for
violation of federal antitrust law, specifically Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman
Antitrust Act. The complaint seeks damages against the defendants in an amount
to be determined and trebled, plaintiffs' cost of litigation and further relief,
as the court deems proper and equitable. Should the plaintiffs prevail, the
Company's operating expenses, results of operations and financial condition
could be materially and adversely affected.
