                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The financial information included herein is submitted pursuant to the
     requirements of Form 10-Q and does not include all disclosures required by
     generally accepted accounting principles. These unaudited 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
     fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission, which are incorporated herein by reference. The accompanying
     interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
     recurring accruals only) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
     for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The
     results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
     the results to be obtained for the entire year.

2.   Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for
     the comparative period of the prior fiscal year for consistency with the
     presentation for the current period.

3.   Cash Flow - Cash equivalents include highly liquid debt instruments with a
     maturity of three months or less.

4.   On March 31, 1998, The Nostalgia Network, Inc. (the "Company"), issued two
     substitution and replacement notes to Crown Communications, Inc. ("Crown")
     and Concept Communications, Inc. ("Concept") (collectively, the "Majority
     Stockholders") in the amounts of $28,560,005 and $19,217,867,
     respectively, at 8.5% interest due February 1, 1999. These notes require
     minimum monthly interest payments of $60,000 in the aggregate and replace
     previously issued notes in the principal amounts of $27,250,000 and
     $18,112,194 plus $1,310,006 and $1,105,673 in accrued and unpaid interest,
     respectively. In April 1998, the company issued a promissory note to Crown
     in the maximum principal amount of $15,250,000 (the "Grid Note") at 8.5%
     due February 1, 1999. During the Six months ended June 30, 1998, the
     Company executed various promissory notes in favor of Crown in the amount
     of $5,250,000 at 8.5%, each due February 1, 1999. The Company has also
     drawn to date $3,750,000 of principal from the Grid Note, of which
     $2,000,000 was drawn subsequent to June 30, 1998. These notes are secured
     by the terms of certain Security Agreements between the Majority
     Stockholders and the Company, as amended.

         OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements" which represent the
Company's expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements 
concerning industry performance and the Company's operations, performance, 
financial condition, plans, growth and strategies. Any statements contained in 
this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Total revenues decreased $1,133,446 or 28.7% (from $3,953,457 to $2,820,011) for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 (the "1998 Period") as compared with the six
months ended June 30, 1997 (the "1997 Period") and decreased $685,511 or 32.5%
(from $2,108,837 to $1,423,326) for the three months ended June 30, 1998 (the
"1998 Quarter") as compared with the three months ended June 30, 1997 (the "1997
Quarter"). The decline resulted principally from advertising revenue decreases
of $1,202,890, or 45.6% (from $2,634,924 to $1,432,034) for the 1998 Period and
$598,903, or 43.5% (from $1,363,051 to $764,148) for the 1998 Quarter.
Advertising revenue decreased principally due to decreased rates based on the
Network's declining subscriber estimates during 1997. Infomercial sales
decreased $1,032,947, or 57.1% (from $1,810,272 to $777,325) for the 1998 Period
and decreased $546,819, or 62.1% (from $880,019 to $333,200) for the 1998
Quarter. Time devoted to infomercials decreased by 23% as a result of adding
more movies to the overnight programming block. Rates charged for infomercials
decreased by 44% as a result of market demand. Conventional advertising
decreased $174,801 or 21.1% (from $829,510 to $654,709) for the 1998 Period and
$82,540, or 21% (from $391,665 to $309,125) for the 1998 Quarter. As a result of
adding additional movies to the overnight programming block, commercial spot
inventory increased by 15% while rates charged for commercial spots decreased by
31% as a result of market demand. Management anticipates these trends will
continue until such time as the GoodLife TV Network (the "Network") subscriber
estimates increase; however, increases in advertising rates typically occur
several months following increased subscriber estimates.

Affiliate revenues increased by $69,444 , or 5.3% (from $1,318,533 to
$1,387,977) for the 1998 Period and decreased by $86,608, or 11.6% (from
$745,786 to $659,178) for the 1998 Quarter as a result of the Network's first
time billing for C-band packagers and declines during 1997 in the Network's
subscriber estimates, respectively. In recent years dramatic forces have
reshaped the cable marketplace. Technological advances heralded to significantly
increase system channel capacity have fallen far behind their promised levels of
distribution; however, those delays have not deterred the launch of numerous new
programming services to fill this anticipated new capacity. Many of the newer
services being offered have significant strategic alliances with either system
operators, sister channels or program developers which provide them with a
competitive advantage that independent Companies do not enjoy. Further, many
networks are offering significant per subscriber fees to buy their way onto
cable systems. These dramatic changes to the cable marketplace have adversely
impacted the Company since it does not match the per subscriber fees offered by



                                       7
<PAGE>
 
many other networks. As a result, the Company has suffered further subscriber
losses. Until such time as channel capacity increases significantly, or the
Company has the resources to effectively compete in a pay-to-play environment,
the Company will remain vulnerable to additional subscriber declines.

Management firmly believes that the Company's niche, Boomers and over, is a
valuable market which currently is not being served by other networks.
Government statistics show that this demographic is the fastest growing
demographic segment and will account for 30% of the population in the year 2000.
As technology continues to change almost daily, management believes the
Company's best approach is to increase branding of the Network and build
consumer demand for its product. It is actively pursuing development of new
original programming which will be unique to the Network and specifically
targeted to Boomers and over. In 1997, the Network commenced a consumer
marketing campaign in specifically targeted markets as well as other consumer
awareness activities. Repeatedly, in consumer market tests, the Company's
product has been highly rated. Management believes investment in the Company's
product and consumer awareness advertising will provide greater long-term
benefit than diverting funds for short-term launch opportunities.

Operating expenses, net of $2,626,000 and $1,697,000 in capitalized programming
costs for the 1998 Period and 1998 Quarter which respectively compared to none
during the 1997 Period and 1997 Quarter, decreased $249,312, or 2.0% (from
$12,188,427 to $11,939,115) for the 1998 Period and $156,436, or 3.0% (from
$5,210,888 to $5,054,452) for the 1998 Quarter. The decrease for the 1998 Period
was primarily a result of a decrease of $454,719, or 13.7% (from $3,326,010 to
$2,871,291) in programming, production and transmission costs and a decrease of
$75,915, or 4.8% (from $1,575,901 to $1,499,986) in finance, general and
administration costs. Offsetting these decreases was an increase of $83,245, or
2.4% (from $3,515,423 to $3,598,668) in programming amortization costs and
$198,007, or 5.2% (from $3,771,093 to $3,969,170) in sales and marketing costs
for the 1998 Period. The decrease for the 1998 Quarter was primarily the result
of a net decrease of $157,482, or 11% (from $1,434,819 to $1,277,337) in
programming, production and transmission costs as well as a decrease of
$168,512, or 11.5% (from $1,462,615 to $1,294,103) in sales and marketing
expenses. Offsetting these reductions was an increase of $173,264, or 10.9%
(from $1,594,278 to $1,767,542) in programming amortization expense for the 1998
Quarter.

Programming, production and transmission costs, net of $2,626,000 and $1,697,000
in capitalized programming costs for the 1998 Period and 1998 Quarter which
respectively compared to none during the 1997 Period and 1997 Quarter, have
decreased primarily as a result of costs capitalized in association with
production of new original programs as well as increased costs associated with
improving the Network's on-air look. Programming amortization costs have
increased by $83,245, or 2.4% (from $3,515,423 to $3,598,668) for the 1998
Period and $173,264, or 10.9% (from $1,594,278 to $1,767,542) for the 1998
Quarter as a result of changes in the Network's programming lineup and
programming contracts. The Company expects to incur additional increases in
future programming and studio production costs as a consequence of the Network's
programming initiatives and the creation of new original programs which has
continued in 1998. These additional future expenditures will


                                       8

<PAGE>
 
adversely impact the Company's results of operations in the short-term; however,
management believes they are critical to the Company's long-term survival and
growth.

Sales and marketing expenses have increased by $198,077, or 5.2% (from
$3,771,093 to $3,969,170) for the 1998 Period and decreased $168,512, or 11.5%
(from $1,462,615 to $1,294,103) for the 1998 Quarter due to the timing of
convention events, advertising campaigns, additional consulting efforts and
increased production quality.

Finance, general and administrative costs decreased by $75,915, or 4.8% (from
$1,575,901 to $1,499,986) for the 1998 Period and $3,706, or .5% (from $719,176
to $715,470) for the 1998 Quarter. This decrease was primarily attributed to
decreased legal and professional fees of $86,016, or 28% (from $307,352 to
$221,336) for the 1998 Period.

As a result of decreased revenues ($1,133,446); increased sales and marketing
costs ($198,077); increased programming amortization costs ($83,245); offset by
decreased programming, production and transmission costs ($454,719); and
decreased finance general and administrative expenses ($75,915); the Company's
loss

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
from operations increased $884,134, or 10.7% (from $8,234,970 to $9,119,104) for
the 1998 Period. As a result of decreased revenues ($685,511); increased
programming amortization costs ($173,264); offset by decreased sales
and marketing costs ($168,512); decreased programming, production and
transmission costs ($157,482); and decreased finance general and
administrative expenses ($3,706); the Company's loss from operations
increased $529,075, or 17% (from $3,102,051 to $3,631,126) for the 1998 Quarter.

Other expense increased $938,350 or 86.6% (from $1,083,719 to $2,022,069) for
the 1998 Period and $502,041, or 111.2% (from $451,414 to $953,455) for the 1998
Quarter, primarily as a result of interest on additional loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash decreased from $1,803,189 at December 31, 1997 to $487,662 at June 30,
1998, principally due to cash outlays to cover increased operating expenses and
repayments of certain debts. Working capital decreased from $186,124 at 
December 31, 1997 to a deficit of ($1,689,590), or 807.8% at June 30, 1998
principally as a result of increased accounts payable and reduced cash balances.
Cablecast rights have decreased by $397,781 or (3.2%) since year-end as a result
of amortization of the Network's programming acquisitions. Total liabilities
increased primarily due to $9,000,000 in additional financing.

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $439,399, or 10.9% during the
1998 Period compared to the 1997 Period principally as a result of the increased
loss from operations of $1,822,484 offset by increased accounts payable. The
increased loss was due primarily to decreases in revenues combined with
increased costs. Amortization expense increased by $82,748 over the 1997 Period
as a result of further enhancements to the Network's programming. Provision for
losses on accounts receivable decreased by $8,000 to $204,000 in the 1998 Period
compared to $212,000 during the 1997 Period as a result of additional exposure
to bad debt risks. Accounts receivable increased $343,871, compared to an
increase of $218,113 during the 1997 Period. Accounts payable increased
$1,783,758 in the 1998 Period compared to an increase of $466,010 during the
1997 Period as a result of increased operating expenses. Interest and other
payables to related parties increased by $1,444,276 in the 1998 Period compared
to $1,149,626 during the 1997 Period primarily as a result of interest on
additional loans.

Cash used in investing activities was ($2,656,494) during the six months ended
June 30, 1998 Period compared to $380,221 used during the 1997 Period primarily
as a result of increased purchases of cablecast rights.

Cash flows from financing activities increased $1,522,509, or 35.4% during the
1998 Period compared to the 1997 Period due principally to a reduction in
the repayment of long term debt of $1,522,509 or 32.4% (from $4,694,944 to
$3,172,435).

                                       10

The Majority Stockholders have committed to provide up to an additional
$11,500,000 in debt financing during the balance of the calendar year,
$2,000,000 of which has been received subsequent to June 30, 1998 from Crown.
Management believes that these funds will be sufficient to satisfy its operating
needs for 1998. In connection with the additional borrowings and the Majority
Stockholders' agreement to extend the due dates on the financing to February 1,
1999, the Company has entered into the Security Agreements covering
substantially all the Company's assets in favor of the Majority Stockholders.

The Company believes that, in order to survive in the highly competitive market
for cable television programming, the Company will need significant additional
investment over the next four to five years. Such additional investment is
necessary to improve programming and increase distribution which the Company
anticipates will ultimately increase advertising revenues and result in
substantial long term revenue increases.

The Company's Board of Directors has directed its Executive Committee and
management to study the question of whether the Company should enter into a
strategic alliance, and to make recommendations to the full Board regarding this
proposal. The Executive Committee and management have actively studied this
alternative and have had preliminary discussions with a number of potential
strategic partners. These discussions are preliminary and no definitive
proposals or targeted entities have been identified. The Executive Committee and
management will continue to actively pursue identifying potential strategic
alliance candidates.

Because of the unpredictable factors involved in the search for strategic
alliances, and the dynamic changes taking place in the industry, there is
considerable uncertainty about what the Company's needs will be in future years.
There can be no assurance either that the Company will be able to locate
sufficient funding in excess of the funds committed for 1998, or that it will be
able to achieve a strategic alliance.
