                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying condensed financial statements include the accounts of
Littlefield, Adams & Company (the "Company," "Littlefield," and the
"Registrant"), (Trading of the Company's Common Stock is reported on the NASD's
OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "FUNW").

         The condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2000, the condensed statements
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and
adjustments to reserves, necessary to fairly present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows have been made. However, it should be
understood that accounting measurements at interim dates may be less precise
than at year end. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the operation results for a full year or of future
operations.

         Certain information normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed
or omitted. The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative
purposes. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company considers
its reported net income (loss) to be its comprehensive income (loss) as defined
by SFAS No. 130.

         Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000, were less than sales
for the similar period in 1999, because of a substantial decline in WCW licensed
product sales. The Company had sales bookings for shipments to be made during
June of 2000 of approximately $140,000. Not all sales bookings constitute
contractual commitments, and may therefore be subject to cancellations or
modifications by customers.

NOTE 2:  INVENTORY

         Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in,
first-out method) or market (net realizable value). Costs in finished goods
include direct materials, outsourced production cost, direct labor and certain
indirect manufacturing overhead expenses.

         Inventory is summarized as follows:

         The Company is currently involved in litigation with Muller
International Sourcing, L.L.C. ("Muller"). In September 1999, Muller filed a
complaint in the amount of $245 against the Company for payment of raw materials
shipped to the Company, the quality and quantity of which the Company questions.
In October 1999, the Company filed a verified answer, asserting its defenses and
counterclaims. The Company believes that it will be successful in such defenses
and counterclaims, although there can be no assurance that it will be (for

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

         On April 24, 1998, Littlefield completed a private offering of $1.2
million in principal amount of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the
"Debentures"), subordinated to only "Senior Indebtedness." Senior Indebtedness
is obligations to banks or lending institutions that are designated as such by
the Board of Directors. The participants in the private offering included
officers and directors of the Company and several accredited investors. General
terms of the Debentures include the right to convert, after a period of one
year, into shares of Littlefield common stock at a rate of one and one-third
shares of stock for each dollar of principal amount of Debentures. Any
unconverted Debentures are payable on demand after eighteen months. Interest is
payable semi-annually on the last day of March and September. The Company, with
sixty days notice, may call the Debentures for a premium after one year. If all
of the Debentures are converted into stock, the additional 1,600,000 shares of
common stock would have represented an increase of 58% in the number of shares
outstanding on the date of Debentures were issued. During the sixty days prior
to April 24, 1998, Littlefield's common stock traded for a s low as $0.21 per
share and as high as $2.00 per share as reported on the NASD/s Electronic
Bulletin Board. The Debentures are currently payable on demand. However, since
the Company would be unable to repay the Debentures if a demand for payment were
made, any demand for payment by the holders of the Debentures would likely
result in the Company being unable to continue as a going concern.

         The Debentures became convertible on April 24, 1999. From April 24,
1999, to September 30, 1999, approximately $395 in principal amount was
converted into 526,662 shares of Littlefield common stock. The principal amount,
as of March 31, 2000, is $805.

         The Company did not make the interest payment due on $805,000 of the
Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures"). Such payment in the
amount of $28,175 was due on March 31, 2000. The Company contemplates amending
the Debentures and has had discussions with some holders about it. No assurance
can be given that the matter of the past due interest-payment or amendment of
the Debentures will be resolved satisfactorily.

          per share.

     (b)  The convertible subordinated debentures have an antidilutive effect on
          net loss per share and are, therefore, excluded from the computation
          of diluted earnings per share.

          Certain securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per
     share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted
     earnings per share, because to do so would have been antidilutive, were as
     follows:

         In the quarter ended March 31, 2000, Littlefield's common stock traded

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         The Company entered into a definitive agreement with eCONTENT, Inc.
("ETNT"), West Palm Beach, Florida under which ETNT will convey to a newly
formed subsidiary (the "Subsidiary") of the Company the sole and exclusive
rights to current and future master-licenses and all media and internet
marketing for apparel. For such rights, the Company will issue 39% of its common
stock to ETNT on a fully diluted basis, excluding all options exercisable above
$2.00 per share. As a condition to closing, the Company must have $250,000 in
ongoing working capital and must restructure its obligations to the sole
satisfaction of ETNT. Any stock issued by the Company in achieving this
condition will be included in the calculations of the 39% of its common stock to
be paid to ETNT. Additionally, the Company must restructure its Board of
Directors to the sole satisfaction of ETNT. No assurance can be given that the
Company can accomplish the conditions it must meet.

         The Company has conditioned the transactions on its gaining approval of
a majority of its shareholders and on ETNT consummating the acquisition of MPI
Media Productions International, a New York City privately owned media
production company. After acquisition, the Company and ETNT must use their best
efforts to fund the growth of the Subsidiary by issuing common stock of either
the Company or the Subsidiary. Based on these conditions to closing also, there
is no assurance that the transaction will be completed.

         Because of cash flow difficulties, the Company has restructured some of
its accounts payable and seeks to restructure other ones. Since it has fallen
behind schedule on some accounts, it cannot assure a successful continuation of
this program.

         The financial condition of the Company makes the raising of equity
capital necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to raise
that capital will succeed. Also, that capital, if raised, could substantially
dilute the holdings of current shareholders.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)

         The Company closed a Senior Secured Loan (the "Note") in the amount of
$138,000 for a period of 30 days, maturing May 17, 2000. The closing was on or
about April 17, 2000, with net proceeds of $115,000. The Note is secured by a
lien on a newly created bank account, to which no additional deposits may be
made and disbursements from which may be carried out only through the Company's
general bank account. The proceeds are being used for general corporate
purposes. The Company's factor, United Capital Funding Corp. ("UCF") consented
to the financing. The Note requires repayment at a premium of 20% of the net
proceeds, or a premium of $23,000 ($138,000 minus $23,000 equal $115,000).
Common stock will be issued, also, equal to a value of 10% of the net proceeds,
calculated at $.25 per share. The number of shares so provided total 46,000,
with an aggregate value, at $.25 per share, of $11,500. The financing was
provided by four holders of either or both of the Company's Subordinated
Convertible Debentures and common stock, one of whom, Mr. L. Clarke Hill Jr., is
a Director of the Company. After May 17, 2000, the Company informed by telephone
the individuals holding the Note that it needed an extension of the due date or
an amendment to the terms of the Note, including an extension of the due date.
Discussions to this effect are in progress, without assurance that they will be
successfully concluded.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO 1999

Net Product Sales

              First quarter net product sales for 2000 were $218,000, a decrease
of $2,516,000, or 91.3%, compared to the 1999 first quarter as a result of the
significant decline in the sales of World Championship Wrestling products.

                    (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE)


Cost of Products Sold

         Cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, was (136.2)% in
the first quarter of 2000, as compared to 74.6% in the first quarter of 1999.
Significantly contributing to the increase in the cost of products sold
percentage in the 2000 first-quarter are certain in-house production expenses
required to be included in the cost of products sold that are more fixed in
nature, and do not necessarily increase or decrease proportionately with changes
in sales volume.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

         In the 2000 first-quarter, selling expenses decreased by $347,000 over
the 1999 first-quarter, from $473,000 to $126,000, primarily due to the decrease
in royalty and promotional expenses resulting from decreases in sales volume.
Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 57.8% in the 2000
first-quarter, compared to 17.3% in the 1999 first-quarter.

         General and administrative expenses decreased by $31,000 from the 1999
first quarter to the 2000 first-quarter. The change reflects a general decrease
in various administrative expenses. Expressed as a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses were 140.8% in the 2000 first-quarter,
compared to 12.4% in the 1999 first-quarter.

Interest Expense

         Interest expense in the first-quarter of 2000 decreased by $89,000,
from $105,000 to $16,000 compared to the first-quarter of 1999, reflecting lower
levels of borrowing in the 2000 first-quarter.

Item 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 3, 1999, a lawsuit captioned Muller International Sourcing, L.L.C.
v. Littlefield, Adams & company, Inc. was filed in the Chancery Court for the
State of Tennessee, Eleventh Judicial District, Hamilton County, Chattanooga
(No. 99-0976). The lawsuit alleges breach of contract because the Company has
not payed for a shipment of black, blank t-shirts shipped by the plaintiff and
received by the company in April, 1999. The lawsuit seeks damages in the amount
of $245,758.09, plus interest at the rate of 18% per annum after June 1, 1999,
attorneys' fees, and costs. On October 28, 1999, the Company filed an answer
denying all liability and counterclaimed against Muller International Sourcing,
L.L.C. The counterclaim alleges breach of contract, breach of express and
implied warranties, and violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of
1977 (TENN. CODE ANN. 47-18-101 et seq.) for shipment of non-conforming shirts
in April, 1999 and December, 1998. Plaintiff Muller International Sourcing,
L.L.C. filed a motion for summary judgment on March 2, 2000. The Company filed a
memorandum of law and affidavits opposing the motion for summary judgment, and a
hearing was held on the motion on April 24, 2000. The court has not yet reached
a decision on the motion.

The Company intends to pursue the defense of this action and prosecution of its
counterclaims vigorously.
