Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Presentation of Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Information in the accompanying interim consolidated financial
statements and notes to the financial statements for the three-month periods
ended August 31, 1998 and 1997 is unaudited. The accompanying interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended August 31, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
May 31, 1999. The consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
audited financial statements of the Company as and for the period ended May 31,
1998.

2.  Revenue Recognition

         Revenue is derived by the Company from contracts with the state
lotteries for scratch ticket games based on licensed brand names and
entertainment properties. The Company provides the lotteries with second chance
prize packages consisting of grand prizes and various consolation prizes in
addition to marketing support related to each of the games. Most of the lottery
contracts require the lotteries to pay the Company in full upon the signing of
the contract. The Company defers this revenue and recognizes the revenue when
the terms of the applicable game are satisfied (i.e., the shipment of contracted
merchandise).

3.  Earnings per Share

         Basic earnings per common share are based on the average number of
common shares outstanding during the fiscal year. Diluted earnings per common
share include, in addition to the above, a dilutive effect of common share
equivalents during the fiscal year. Common share equivalents represent dilutive
stock options using the treasury method. The Company had no common share
equivalents during the periods ended August 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
number of shares used in the earnings per common share computation for the 1998
and 1997 periods were as follows:

</TABLE>

*Due to the fact that the Company did not issue shares associated with its
 reverse mergers until August 1997, an earnings per share computation is not
 relevant for the period ended August 31, 1997.

     Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

4.  Income Taxes

         The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes," which requires that a deferred tax liability or asset be recognized for
the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between
the Company's financial statements and its tax return. SFAS 109 provides for
recognition of a deferred tax asset for all future deductible temporary
differences that, more likely than not, will provide the Company a future
benefit. As of August 31, 1998 and May 31, 1998, the Company had a significant 
deferred tax asset, primarily as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards.

         The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full amount
of this deferred tax asset. No provision for deferred taxes was recorded because
there was no significant item which would result in a deferred tax liability.

         The Company has a significant net operating loss carry-forward at 
August 31, 1998 and May 31, 1998. Due to such carry-forward, the Company 
reported minimal tax expense at August 31, 1998 and May 31, 1998, respectively.

5.  Contingencies

         The Company is involved in various lawsuits incidental to its business.
The Company believes that these proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position.
