Note 2 Bankruptcy of First Brewery of Dallas, Inc. subsidiary

The Company placed First Brewery of Dallas, Inc. into voluntary liquidation
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Act on June 21, 2000. No creditor appeared at
the creditor's meeting held on July 17, 2000. The elimination of indebtedness
for trade payables of this subsidiary is shown as an extraordinary item on the
statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. In addition,
overdrawn balances on several bank accounts of that subsidiary were eliminated,
increasing the Company's net cash balance by the amounts of those overdrafts.

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

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that are
subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, and the Company's
actual results could differ materially from those forward-looking statements.
The following discussion regarding the financial statements of the Company
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.

Overview. The Company was capitalized in 1996 to develop, own, and operate theme
brewpub/microbrewery restaurants. Until March of 1997 when the Company acquired,
and July 1, 1997, when the Company began operating, the former Hubcap Brewery &
Kitchen in Dallas, Texas, the Company had no operations or revenues and its
activities were devoted solely to development.

In January, 1999, the Company terminated its brewpub/microbrewery restaurant
operations. Future revenues and profits will depend upon various factors,
including market acceptance of `Net GameLinkTM, and general economic conditions.
The Company's present sole source of revenue is the future sale of 'Net
GameLink(TM) systems and from associated royalties. The Company began receiving
revenue from its permanent beta-test site at J. Gilligan's at Arlington, Texas
on July 28, 2000, and expects to receive the first revenue from a sale of the
system to a third party during the third quarter of 2000.

On June 5, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into a subscription
agreement for up to a $15,000,000.00 sale of common stock and warrants under a
private equity line contract with Swartz Private Equity, L.L.C. ("Swartz"), an
institutional private equity fund. This financing allows the Company to issue
common stock and warrants at the Company's discretion as often as monthly as
funds are needed in amounts based upon certain market conditions. The pricing of
each common stock sale is based upon current market prices at the time of each
draw, and the Company may set a floor price for the shares each month at the
Company's discretion. The Company's SB-2 registration statement for the Swartz
private equity line was filed on July 12, 2000, and became effective with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2000.

There can be no assurances that the Company will successfully implement its
expansion plans, including the 'Net GameLinkTM entertainment concept. The
Company faces all of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently
encountered in connection with the expansion and development of a new business.
These include limited working capital pending being able to draw upon the Swartz
private equity line, difficulties in maintaining delivery schedules if and when
volume increases, the need to develop support arrangements for systems at widely
dispersed physical locations, the need to control operating and general and
administrative expenses, and the need to spend substantial amounts on initial
advertising to develop an awareness of the Company and its products. In
addition, the Company's Chief Executive Officer is a practicing attorney with no
training or prior experience in managing or overseeing a public company.

Results of Operations.

Quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to quarter ended June 30, 1999.

These two periods are in no way comparable, since the quarter ended June 30,
1999 reflects the Company's unsuccessful efforts to develop its
brewpub/microbrewery business, whereas the quarter ended June 30, 2000
reflects a redirection of the Company's efforts from the discontinued business
to the development of the Company's 'Net GameLinkTM System. For the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 the Company had no revenues. Administrative costs of $98,738
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to $26,216 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999 reflect professional fees incurred in connection with registration
of the Company's common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
negotiation of its equity line of credit with Swartz. The reduction in interest
charges from $7,670 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $4,873 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 reflects a reduction in bank borrowings. The finance
charges of $6,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 represents issuance of
common stock in lieu of future interest in connection with the Company's sale of
a note to a private investor as described below.

The Company placed First Brewery of Dallas, Inc. into voluntary liquidation
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Act on June 21, 2000. No creditor appeared at
the creditor's meeting held on July 17, 2000. The elimination of indebtedness
for trade payables of this subsidiary is shown as an extraordinary item on the
statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. As of June 30, 2000 the Company's liquidity
position was extremely precarious. The Company had current liabilities of
$906,466, including $458,369 in trade payables, some of which were overdue,
short-term notes payable to shareholders of $352,167, most of which were either
demand indebtedness or were payable at an earlier date and were in default, bank
debt of $45,000 and related accrued interest on the notes. Current assets
available to meet those liabilities were only $12,893.

To date the Company has met its capital requirements through capital
contributions, loans from principal shareholders and officers, bank borrowings,
and certain private placement offerings. For the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
the net loss before the extraordinary non-cash item was $116,638, of which only
$46,723 was accounted for by non-cash charges. In addition, the Company made
capital expenditures of $5,866 resulting in total cash requirements for the
quarter of approximately $75,781. To cover most of these cash requirements, the
Company drew down its cash by approximately $30,000, received $16,667 in stock
subscriptions and $16,667 for a note issued to the same investor and allowed
accounts payable and accrued expense to increase to cover the balance.

The Company's consolidated balance sheet was improved by the elimination of
$403,601 in trade payables with the bankruptcy of First Brewery of Dallas, Inc.,
as those amounts were owed solely by the subsidiary. The bankruptcy does not
affect the Company's debt service requirements, as all interest-bearing debt is
owed by the parent company, and not the subsidiary.


                                       7

Based on the interest-bearing indebtedness presently outstanding, the Company's
annual debt service requirements without taking into account any payments of
principal are approximately $16,700. Based on the effectiveness of the SB-2
registration statement for the Swartz private equity line as discussed above,
the Company anticipates being able to draw upon the private equity line during
the latter portion of the third quarter of 2000. The Company presently intends
to pay one-half of its interest-bearing debt in late 2000, and the remainder of
its interest-bearing debt during spring of 2001, based on its sales projections
and the availability of the Swartz private equity line. Notwithstanding the
existence of the equity line of credit, holders of the Company's debt (most of
whom are stockholders) are in a position to shut down the Company's operations
should they determine to do so.

Plan of Operations

The opinions of the Company's independent auditor for each of the last two
fiscal years expressed substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Based upon its announcement of the $15,000,000.00 Swartz
private equity line, an investor agreed to purchase 71,429 shares of common
stock at $.70 per share for a total of $50,000, and to lend the Company an
additional $50,000. Of the total $100,000, $33,333 was payable on June 15, 2000
and the balance in two additional equal installments of $33,000 each on July 15
and August 15. Accordingly, the Company received $33,333 from the investor
during the quarter ended June 30th, 2000. The Company is presently utilizing
those funds to hire key management staff, who are implementing the Company's
business plan for the development of 1) corporate organization, 2) strategic
alliances within the computer gaming industry, 3) advertising and promotional
materials, 4) an up-graded website, 5) distribution agreements, 6) the Company's
industry and trade show presence, and 7) further development and improvement of
the Company's `Net GameLinkTM product. Due to limited financing until being able
to draw upon the Swartz private equity line, the Company's marketing efforts are
directed toward the fall of 2000, although the Company's director of sales is
involved in person-to-person contact with those who have previously expressed an
interest in the `Net GameLinkTM system.

The Company began to receive revenues from operation of its present system at J.
Gilligan's during the early portion of the third quarter of 2000. However, these
revenues are not expected to be sufficient to carry out any substantial
advertising and marketing. Based upon the interim capital obtained in June of
2000, the Company has moved forward with implementation of its marketing plan as
discussed in the preceding paragraph; however, the Company will be unable to
carry out substantial advertising and marketing until the Swartz private equity
line becomes available to the Company during the third quarter of 2000.

The Company will in the future need to hire a qualified chief operating officer,
and there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain one. During the second
and third quarters of 2000, the Company has retained a director of sales, a
director of marketing, a director of production, and a gaming technical adviser.
The Company does not presently intend to hire other key management personnel
during the next 12 months, although additional employees may become necessary.
All of the employees mentioned above, along with the Company's director of
technical services, are presently being


                                       8

compensated at market rates. However, the Company's senior management (CEO,
president, vice president, and secretary) are serving without compensation, and
the Company expects this will continue to be the case indefinitely until the
Company's interest-bearing debt has been substantially reduced.
