                          PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

         This information is included following "Index to Consolidated Financial
         Statements".

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


                                   OPERATIONS

Period Ended March 31, 1996 compared to Period Ended March 31, 1995.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary International Theatres Corporation's
(ITC's) admissions revenues were $1,133,488 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, compared to $1,080,525 for the comparable prior year period. The $52,963
increase in current period admissions revenues was primarily attributable to
increased attendance and increased ticket prices, offset in part by increased
promotional and discounted tickets.

ITC's food, beverage and merchandise sales were $999,325 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, compared to $974,717 for the comparable prior year period, and
their related cost of sales were $288,524 and $289,527, respectively. The
$24,608 increase in current period sales was due primarily to increased
attendance and increased prices. The cost of sales for the current year period,
as a percent of food, beverage and merchandise sales, was slighlty lower than
the comparable prior year period, due increased selling prices.

ITC's operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, were $1,666,984,
compared to $1,625,331 for the comparable prior year period, representing an
increase of $41,653. The increase in the current year was primarily due to
increased play mounting costs and increased attendance.

General and administrative expenses were $302,694 for the quarter ended March
31, 1996, compared to $325,449 for the comparable prior year period. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreased
costs of investigating potential acquisitions and cost containment actions at
ITC.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, was $157,090 compared to a net
loss of $209,817 for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was
primarily due to increased attendance at ITC and decreased costs of
investigating potential acquisitions.


                        LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Cash used by operating activities for the six-month period ended March 31, 1996,
was $182,268 compared to $99,785 for the comparable prior year period. The
primary use of cash in operating activities was prepayment of start-up costs
relative to the operations of Minnesota Arena Football, Inc. of approximately
$248,000. The primary source of cash from operating activities was deferred
revenue resulting from prepayments by ITC's customers, which represent gift
certificates and tickets paid for in advance. Cash used in investing activities
for the six-month period ended March 31, 1996, was $13,937, which was primarily
comprised of purchases of equipment of $29,311 and preacquisition costs of
$37,484, which was offet in part by decreased amounts due from related parties
of $53,358. Cash from financing activities for the six-month period ended March
31, 1996, was $222,596, which was comprised of the net proceeds from sale of
common stock of $314,424 upon exercise of stock warrants, offset in part by
reduction of long-term capitalized lease obligations.

At March 31, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of ($1,829,777) and
cash totaling $58,469. The working capital deficit at March 31, 1996, was
primarily comprised of accounts payable of $499,056, and deferred revenues of
$1,337,250 related to advance ticket sales for ITC's operations. Management
believes the incremental cost that ITC will incur to realize these deferred
revenues will be offset by the gross profit from food, beverage and merchandise
sales to such customers.

The Company intends to continue to seek out potential acquisitions. It is
probable that any significant acquisitions would require long-term financing.
However, there are no assurances that the Company will complete any acquisitions
or that it will obtain financing under terms acceptable to the Company.

The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31,
1996 and capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 1996 are expected to
be immaterial.

Management has caused several of ITC's costs to be reduced or eliminated for the
remainder of fiscal 1996. Management believes that advance ticket sales and
advance bookings are indicative that the third quarter's attendance should
approximate budgeted levels. Management believes that ITC's anticipated results
for the third quarter will provide sufficient funds to sustain their operations
for the remainder of fiscal 1996.

In September, 1995, the Company's CEO entered into a letter of intent to lease,
with the option to purchase, an arena football franchise, to be located in
Minneapolis, MN. In connection therewith, the CEO advanced funds of
approximately $57,000 to or for the benefit of the lessor, the league and
others. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company finalized the
acquisition of the CEO's interest in the franchise. No additional consideration
was paid to the CEO for his interest in the letter of intent. The definitive
lease agreement and the contractual arrangement were also finalized during the
quarter. The franchise is being operated by Minnesota Arena Football, Inc., (DBA
The Minnesota Fighting Pike) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The
Company's exercise of the option to purchase the franchise will be dependent in
any respect on the reception of this entertainment to the Minnesota consumer.

During the third and fourth fiscal quarters, the arena football franchise failed
to generate the anticipated cash flow. Consequently, during such quarters the
Company's CEO advanced approximately $206,000 and the Company raised additional
financing from outside sources of approximately $400,000. The financing raised
from outside sources is currently payable, and is secured by the common stock of
Minnesota Arena Football, Inc. Management anticipates such financing will be
converted into the Company's common stock. Management is currently attempting to
sell its interest in the arena football franchise. There are no assurances that
the financing will be converted into the Company's common stock. There are also
no assurances that the Company will be successful in its endeavors to sell its
interest in the arena football franchise, or that the proceeds received from any
such sale will be sufficient to pay the debts incurred by the arena football
franchise during the third and fourth fiscal quarters.

The Company's independent auditors issued their opinion on the consolidated
financial statements as of September 30, 1995, wherein they added an additional
paragraph which raised substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Management believes its current cash position, including
proceeds from advances received from private individuals, will be sufficient to
satisfy working capital requirements for fiscal 1996, and to fund costs relative
to investigating potential acquisitions. In February 1996, ITC established a
line of credit providing for available funds of $50,000. Management believes ITC
will operate at a profitable level that, along with ITC's available line of
credit, will provide sufficient funds to satisfy ITC's working capital
requirements for fiscal 1996. However, there can be no assurances that
anticipated cash flow from ITC's operations will be achieved.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
all information and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of results of
operations, financial position, and consolidated cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. However, such statements do reflect,
in the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for these periods.

Note 2.  Investment in WBPI

In September, 1995, the Company transferred a portion of its investment in Willy
Bietak Productions, Inc. (WBPI) to Willy Bietak Enterprises, Inc. in
consideration of the guarantees of certain bank debt of WBPI. This resulted in
reducing the Company's ownership in WBPI from 50.1% to 30%. The change in
ownership resulted in a deconsolidation of WBPI. The financial statements for
the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 1995 have been restated as
if the deconsolidation occurred as of October 1, 1994.
