                          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 December 31, 1995 compared to Period Ended December 31, 1994.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary International Theatres Corporation's
(ITC's) admissions revenues were $1,057,505 for the quarter ended December 31,
1995, compared to $1,221,112 for the quarter ended December 31, 1994. The
$163,607 decrease in current period admissions revenues was primarily
attributable to decreased attendance, and increased promotional and discounted
tickets, offset in part by increased ticket prices.

ITC's food, beverage and merchandise sales were $1,089,208 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, compared to $1,098,287 for the comparable prior year period,
and their related cost of sales were $312,556 and $321,909, respectively. The
$9,079 decrease in current period sales was due primarily to decreased
attendance, offset in part by increased prices. The cost of sales for both
periods were comparable as a percent of food, beverage and merchandise sales.

ITC's operating expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 were $1,698,434
compared to $1,608,786 for the comparable prior year period, representing an
increase of $89,648. The increase in the current year was primarily due to
increased play mounting costs of approximately $35,000 and increased advertising
costs of approximately $43,000.

General and administrative expenses were $320,677 for the quarter ended December
31, 1995 compared to $316,515 for the comparable prior year period. The increase
in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased costs of
investigating potential acquisitions offset in part by cost containment actions
at ITC.

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was ($215,269) compared to a
net income of $47,089 for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was
primarily due to a decline in attendence at ITC.


                        LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Cash from (used by) operating activities for the quarter ended December 31, 1995
was ($7,482) compared to $131,819 for the comparable prior year period. The
primary use of cash in operating activities was payment of accounts payable to
ITC's vendors. 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 quarter ended December 31, 1995 was $26,317, which was primarily
comprised of purchases of equipment of $72,312, which was offet in part by
decreased amounts due from related parties of $52,504. Cash from financing
activities for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was $229,685, which was
comprised of the net proceeds from sale of common stock of $305,649 upon
exercise of stock warrants, offset in part by reduction of notes payable and
long-term capitalized lease obligations.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had a working capital deficit of ($1,725,888)
and cash totaling $227,964. The working capital deficit at December 31, 1995 was
primarily comprised of accounts payable of $506,761, and deferred revenues of
$1,259,488 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.

Management intends to continue to restrict expenditures with respect to the
future development of the Company's entertainment properties and to the
marketing of its completed properties. The Company had no material commitments
for capital expenditures as of December 31, 1995 and capital expenditures for
the remainder of fiscal 1996 are expected to be immaterial.

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. The Company is finalizing the acquisition of the CEO's interest in the
franchise. The definitive lease agreement, the contractual arrangement with an
arena and the consideration, if any, to be paid to the CEO, are in the process
of finalization. If acquired, the franchise will be operated by Minnesota Arena
Football, Inc., 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.

Management has caused several of ITC's costs to be reduced or eliminated for the
remainder of fiscal 1996, and is currently investigating the decline in
attendence realized during the first quarter. Management believes that advance
ticket sales and advance bookings are indicative that the second quarter's
attendence should return to budgeted levels. Management believes that ITC's
anticipated results for the second quarter will provide sufficient funds to
sustain their operations for the remainder of fiscal 1996.

Management believes its current cash position, including proceeds from exercise
of stock warrants, 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 return to profitability
and that ITC and the arena football franchise, if acquired, along with ITC's
available line of credit, will provide sufficient funds to satisfy their working
capital requirements for fiscal 1996. However, there can be no assurances that
anticipated cash flow from ITC's and the arena football franchise's operations
will be achieved

                        CENTURY PARK PICTURES CORPORATION
                   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 quarter ended December 31, 1994 have been restated as if the deconsolidation
occurred as of October 1, 1994.
