NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization, Management Statement and Reference to Form 10-KSB
Organization
------------
Global Outdoors, Inc. (the "Company") owns a majority interest in
The Outdoor Channel, Inc. ("The Outdoor Channel" or "Channel"), a
national television network devoted primarily to traditional
outdoor activities, such as hunting, fishing, shooting sports,
rodeo and recreational gold prospecting. The Company has a variety
of other business activities. The Company receives revenues from
the sale of memberships in a gold prospecting club, Gold
Prospectors' Association of America, Inc. ("GPAA") and from the
sale of memberships in Lost Dutchman's (LDMA-AU, Inc.) which
entitle members to engage in recreational prospecting on its
California, Oregon, Alaska, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina properties. The Company has
signed a mutual use agreement with another organization whose
members are entitled to engage in recreational mining on certain
of each other's properties. The Company receives revenues from its
trips and outings division which includes its "Alaska Trip," a
recreational gold mining expedition to the Company's Cripple River
property located near Nome, Alaska, advertising revenue in a
bi-monthly magazine, advertising revenues through cable television
programming on The Outdoor Channel, Inc. and through merchandise
sales. Effective July 23, 1996, the Company changed its name from
Global Resources, Inc. to Global Outdoors, Inc.
Note 2. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2000
and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Information included in the
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has
been derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in,
the audited financial statements of the Company as of December 31,
1999 and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 (the
"Audited Financial Statements") included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB (the "10-KSB") for the year ended December
31, 1999 that was previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted from these financial statements unless significant
changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal
year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Audited Financial Statements and the other information also
included in the 10-KSB.
The results of the Company's operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations for the full year ending December 31, 2000.
Note 3. Stockholders' Equity
On September 12, 1994, the company effected a 2 for 1 forward
split of its common stock. On March 4, 1992, the company effected
a 1 for 20 reverse split of its common stock. On May 1, 1989, the
Company distributed a 10% common stock dividend. Share amounts
herein reflect the foregoing activity.

<PAGE>
Note 4. Earnings per share
The Company has presented "basic" earnings per common share in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). Basic earnings per common
share is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common
stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common
share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share,
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all
potentially dilutive common shares, such as those that could be
issued upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the
conversion of preferred stock, were issued during the period.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 takes into account the effects on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding of the
assumed exercise of all of the Company's outstanding stock options
and warrants, adjusted for the application of the treasury stock
method, and the conversion of all of the Company's outstanding
shares of preferred stock.
The following table reconciles the calculation of basic earnings
per share to diluted earnings per share in the quarter ended March
31, 2000:

Note 5. Income taxes
The credit for income taxes of $150,000 included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 was comprised of a deferred
credit for Federal income taxes. The Company had no provision or
credit for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company was able to
increase revenues substantially, generate pre-tax income for
financial statement and tax reporting purposes and utilize a
portion of its net operating loss carryforwards as shown above. In
addition, management believes that it is more likely than not that
the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable
income to enable it to utilize all but approximately $421,000 of
the remaining net operating loss carryforwards available as of
March 31, 2000. Accordingly, the Company reduced its valuation
allowance by $150,000 and recognized a credit for Federal income
taxes in the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
The credit for income taxes reflected in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 is different than it would be computed based on the
applicable statutory Federal income tax rate of 34% primarily as a
result of the changes in the valuation allowance as shown below:

Note 6. Segment information
During 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS
OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION ("SFAS 131"). Pursuant to
the provisions of SFAS 131, the Company is reporting segment
information in the same format reviewed by the Company's
management (the "management approach"). The Company segregates its
business activities into the major areas that generate revenues.
LDMA-AU and GPAA membership sales and related activities are
reported separately as they deal with recreational prospecting and
rights to use land and facilities for camping and recreational
vehicle parking. Trips and outings constitute another business
activity of the Company whereby members can participate in a group
prospecting activity at a Company site, usually lasting for a week
or less. The annual Alaska trip, included in this category, allows
members to travel to the Company's Alaska property from one to six
weeks to participate in prospecting activities. The Outdoor
Channel is a separate business activity whereby the subsidiary
broadcasts television programming on "The Outdoor Channel" 24
hours a day, seven days a week, and recognizes advertising and
subscription revenues.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends that such forward-looking
statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. This report should be
read in conjunction with the Company's report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
COMPARISON OF QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND MARCH 31, 1999
REVENUES. The Company's revenues include revenues from advertising fees,
subscriber fees, GPAA and Lost Dutchman's membership sales, product sales and
trips and outings sales. Advertising fees result from the sale of advertising
time on The Outdoor Channel and from advertising space in publications such as
the Gold Prospector magazine. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were
$2,911,661, an increase of $1,160,884, or 66%, compared to revenues of
$1,750,777 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was the result of
changes in several items composing revenue. Advertising doubled to $1,545,304
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $761,676 for the quarter ended March
31, 1999, primarily due to an increase in advertising revenue on The Outdoor
Channel. Subscriber fees increased dramatically to $607,394 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 from $142,567 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
primarily due to carriage of The Outdoor Channel on the Dish Network. Membership
services decreased to $758,963 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from
$846,534 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, due principally to the cumulative
effect of the Company devoting its primary resources to development of The
Outdoor Channel.
EXPENSES. The Company's expenses consist primarily of the cost of satellite
transponder and uplink facilities, programming, advertising and promotion, trips
and outings expenses, sales and administrative salaries, office expenses and
general overhead. Expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $2,391,291,
an increase of $652,900, or 38%, compared to $1,738,391 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses which increased significantly to
$1,652,399 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $1,170,879 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was due primarily to growth at The
Outdoor Channel. Advertising and programming increased to $212,804 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $48,827 for the quarter ended March
31, 1999, due to The Outdoor Channel's consumer and trade awareness campaigns.
Satellite transmission fees remained near the same level at $526,088 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $518,685 for the quarter ended March
31, 1999, due to satellite transponder expenses plateauing.
INCOME BEFORE CREDIT FOR INCOME TAXES AND MINORITY INTEREST. Income before
credit for income taxes and minority interest was lower as a percentage of
revenues at 17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to 21% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. This was due primarily to the Company having
income from operations of $520,370 and no Gain on sale of common stock for the
quarter end March 31, 2000, compared to income from operations of $12,386 and
Gain on sale of common stock of $408,859 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
There was no Gain on sale of common stock of subsidiary for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, due to The Outdoor Channel closing its private placement on
March 5, 1999.
GENERAL
Global Outdoors, Inc. (the "Company" or "Global") is the principal owner of
The Outdoor Channel, Inc. which owns and operates The Outdoor Channel ("The
Outdoor Channel" or "Channel"), the first national television network devoted
primarily to traditional outdoor activities, such as hunting, fishing, shooting
sports, rodeo and recreational gold prospecting. The Company also owns and
operates related businesses which serve the interests of viewers of The Outdoor
-11-
<PAGE>
Channel and other outdoor enthusiasts. These related businesses include,
LDMA-AU, Inc. ("Lost Dutchman's"), Gold Prospectors' Association of America,
Inc. ("GPAA") and the Trips Division. Lost Dutchman's is a national recreational
gold prospecting campground club with over 5,000 members and properties in
California, Alaska, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, South Carolina
and North Carolina. GPAA is the largest recreational gold prospecting club in
the world with approximately 35,000 active members. GPAA also sells products and
services related to recreational gold prospecting and is the publisher of the
Gold Prospector magazine. The Company's Trips and outings Division sponsors
unique recreational prospecting trips to the historic Mother Lode area of
California and to the Company's 2300 acre camp, located 11 miles west of Nome,
Alaska.
The Company has been selling its GPAA club memberships since its
incorporation in 1984. From 1968 to 1984, GPAA memberships were sold by the
proprietorship owned by the Company's founders. GPAA membership sales took a
marked upswing in 1992 in conjunction with the airing of the "Gold Prospector
Show," a show the Company has owned and produced since 1990. During 1992, the
"Gold Prospector Show" was broadcast on various television and cable channels,
for which the Company purchased air time. In 1993, GPAA launched The Outdoor
Channel and, since then, broadcasts of the "Gold Prospector Show" and related
sales of GPAA memberships have occurred almost exclusively on The Outdoor
Channel. The Company intends that The Outdoor Channel be used as a primary
vehicle to promote the Company's services and products and anticipates that it
will be a factor in the future growth of GPAA, Lost Dutchman's and the Trips
Division. In that regard, in 1998 the Company entered into a long term contract
with The Outdoor Channel whereby the Company has the rights to ten hours of
programming time and thirty sixty second advertising spots per week. The Outdoor
Channel became profitable and cash flow positive in the second quarter of 1999.
Subsequently, the Company has directed more resources to other Company
divisions. For example, in September 1999, the Company commenced airing
"Prospecting America" on The Outdoor Channel. Prospecting America, hosted by
Perry Massie, is a new series produced by the Company's television production
unit headed by Rick Griffith.
Although The Outdoor Channel is not aligned with any sizable entertainment
or cable company, as are many emerging channels, it has, to date, achieved
substantial visibility in the cable industry. The Outdoor Channel is committed
to converting visibility for the Channel's programming into greater distribution
into cable households. Greater distribution will allow The Outdoor Channel to
charge higher advertising rates, command higher subscriber fees from cable
affiliates, attract more advertisers and receive greater revenues for the
Company's products.
In 1998, The Outdoor Channel signed an affiliation agreement with EchoStar
Satellite Corporation ("EchoStar"), one of the largest direct broadcast
satellite companies ("DBS") in the U.S. with approximately three million
subscribers. The Outdoor Channel's launch on EchoStar's Dish Network occurred in
December 1998. Commencing February 1, 1999, The Outdoor Channel has been
available on the Dish Network on an al a carte basis (i.e stand alone) for a fee
of $1.99 per month. Through April 21, 2000, there were approximately 264,000 a
la carte subscribers to The Outdoor Channel on the Dish Network. The Channel
receives a significant portion of the monthly a la carte subscriber fees. In
April 2000, The Outdoor Channel was also launched on the Dish Network's
America's Top 150 package. As of April 21, 2000 there were approximately 67,000
subscribers to the Top 150 package.
A primary objective of the Company is for The Outdoor Channel to obtain
distribution. To accomplish this objective the Channel seeks to sign national
carriage agreements with MSOs and thereafter carriage agreements with the MSOs'
individual cable affiliates. Efforts to obtain distribution for The Outdoor
Channel to date have largely been focused on areas where there are the greatest
number of outdoor enthusiasts, mainly in rural areas of the United States. As of

As of April 2000, the Company is generating sufficient cash flow from
operations to meet its short-term cash flow requirements. The Outdoor Channel is
also meeting its short-term cash flow requirements and is profitable. Management
believes that the Company's existing cash resources and anticipated cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations at current
and moderately expanded levels for the next twelve months. In the event that the
Company desires to grow at an accelerated rate, to the extent that its
anticipated cash flow is insufficient to finance the Company's working capital
requirements, the Company could be required to seek financing. There can be no
assurance that equity or debt financing will be available if needed, or, if
available, will be on terms favorable to the Company or its shareholders.
Significant dilution may be incurred by present shareholders as a result of any
such financing. At the current level of operations, the Company is retiring some
of its existing debt and intends to make further improvements to some of its
other properties. At the current level of operations, the Channel has increased
its promotional activities and has augmented its professional staff. The Outdoor
Channel has retired some of its debt with the Company in the first half of 2000.
The Company presently intends to utilize such funds for working capital, to be
in a position to retire a portion of its bank loan and to make Lost Dutchman's
and GPAA acquisitions and improvements.
Since July 30, 1997, the Company's Common Stock has been traded on the
NASD's over the counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "GLRS." Price quotes on
the Company's Common Stock can be obtained from any stockbroker. Also, price
quotes can be obtained from a number of other sources including internet sites
on America On Line, Yahoo Finance and cnbc.com.
