PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated (the "Company"), through its
subsidiaries and related partnerships, acquires domestic and international stage
and ancillary rights to theatrical productions, produces and promotes live
entertainment, manages and books performances and shows, and merchandises a
broad range of products associated with its productions and performers. Prior to
1992, the Company focused primarily on, and generated the majority of its
revenue from, the worldwide production of "The Magic of David Copperfield," as
well as its management and booking agency and merchandising businesses, and was
not involved in other large scale productions. In 1992 the Company began to act
regularly as producer and co-producer in cases in which the Company determined,
based on the responses to its booking inquiries, that the demand for a
production was strong. In some cases, the Company also obtained additional
rights associated with the show, such as the ability to present the show in
certain venues. In addition, the Company's strategy with respect to its
theatrical production business was and continues to focus upon production of
popular, proven hits rather than first run productions.
The Company is the successor by merger to the business of Magicworks
Entertainment Incorporated, a Florida corporation ("Magicworks"). On July 29,
1996, certain of the Company's predecessors in interest consummated a business
combination pursuant to which their operations were consolidated (the
"Consolidation"). On the same date, the Company issued and sold 400.06 units
("Units"), each unit consisting of an unsecured senior convertible note in the
principal amount of $12,500 bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum
(collectively, the "Notes"), and 5,000 shares of its common stock, par value
$.001 per share (the "Magicworks Common Stock"), in a private placement (the
"Private Placement") from which it received net proceeds in the amount of
$8,782,832. On September 27, 1996, the Company sold an additional 14.8 Units
pursuant to the Private Placement from which it received additional net proceeds
in the amount $333,000.
Upon completion of the Private Placement, Magicworks merged with and
into the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each share of
Magicworks Common Stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of
the Company's common stock $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"). The Company was
the surviving corporation in the Merger and investors in the Private Placement
became security holders of the Company. Upon consummation of the Merger, the
Company changed its name from Shadow Wood Corporation to Magicworks
Entertainment Incorporated.
GROWTH STRATEGY
Over the past several years, the Company has experienced significant
growth, primarily as a result of the success of its productions as well as its
continued diversification. The Company's strategy has been to integrate the
financing, production, booking and ancillary exploitation of live entertainment.
The Company believes that its integrated approach enables it to exercise control
over the significant aspects of its productions--theater management, theatrical
production and promotion, marketing and merchandising.
The Company believes that the touring live entertainment industry is a
high-growth industry. The Company seeks to acquire touring rights for
well-established, popular musicals. The Company's strategy is to use its
management and booking division to determine the demand for live entertainment
productions prior to financing such productions. The Company plans to exploit
its experience and contacts with performers, venues, presenters and sponsors by
expanding its operations, as opportunities arise, in the areas of sports,
management speakers bureaus, fashion management, corporate sponsorship, music,
movies and television. The Company believes that its relationships in the
entertainment industry will facilitate its expansion into other areas,
particularly with respect to facility management, production and presentation
opportunities.
The Company also perceives an opportunity to grow through acquisitions
of regional, national and international entertainment producers and presenters
and related businesses. Consistent with its growth strategy, the Company will
also seek to expand its operations, as opportunities arise, by acquiring local
and regional companies
<PAGE>
with market niches in the entertainment industry. The Company believes that
there are significant acquisition opportunities available due to the highly
fragmented nature of the live entertainment industry.
In keeping with its strategy to expand its business by acquiring
entertainment related businesses, on August 28, 1996 the Company acquired all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of MovieTime Entertainment, Inc.
("MovieTime"), a company that has developed an interactive telecommunications
service that provides digital telephone delivery systems to movie theaters. On
December 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Space Agency Concerts and Theatricals, which operates under
the name Space Agency, Inc. ("Space Agency"). Space Agency produces Broadway
subscriptive series in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Vancouver and Calgary, Canada
and has managed or promoted concerts and musicals in more than 50 North American
cities. Both acquisitions have been accounted for as poolings of interests and,
accordingly, the historical results of operations of the Company have been
restated to include the accounts of Movietime and Space Agency since inception.
Further, as of October 1996, Touring Artists Group, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("TAG"), and two unrelated entities
entered into a limited liability company agreement (the "LLC Agreement") to form
The Booking Group, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the "Booking
Group"). Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, TAG owns a 33 1/3% interest in the
Booking Group.
THE THEATRICAL PRODUCTION BUSINESS
The development and production of musical stage productions requires a
substantial investment of time and capital. A period of 12 to 24 months
typically elapses between the time a producer acquires the theatrical stage
rights to a production and the date on which the production is first performed
before the public.
Initially, the producer acquires the theatrical stage rights in a
musical work created by a composer, lyricist and book writer (collectively the
"Authors"). In consideration for these rights, the Authors typically receive
royalties calculated as a percentage of box office receipts and occasionally a
share of production profits. The producer then assembles all of the elements
necessary to mount the production, first engaging a director. The producer and
director, in collaboration with the Authors, select other key creative personnel
who are then engaged by the producer. The contractual arrangements with key
creative personnel (other than principal performers except in rare
circumstances) usually include royalties and, less commonly, production profit
participation.
Following auditions, performers are customarily engaged by negotiations
with talent agents. During a production's preproduction phase, the producers
arrange for or coordinate set construction, costume preparation, lighting and
sound equipment (leased or purchased), rehearsal and theater bookings and
generally develop the production to the point where it is ready to be performed
before an audience. Well in advance of the opening, the producer develops and
begins to execute a marketing plan for the production.
A producer typically finances a theatrical production at least in part
with project financing from third parties. A limited partnership or joint
venture often is created for that purpose, with the limited partners or joint
venturers investing funds to defray the production costs in order to earn a
negotiated portion of any production profits. Limited partnerships and joint
ventures are common in the theater and motion picture industries and enable
producers to limit risk and conserve working capital for other productions.
Investors in limited partnerships frequently bear substantially all of the
financial risk associated with a production and typically receive approximately
50% of the profits, if any, after their initial investment is recouped.
Expenses of developing a production that are incurred prior to the
first performance of that production are usually described as preproduction
costs or production costs. Preproduction costs include expenses for pre-opening
advertising, publicity and promotions, set construction, props, costumes, and
salaries and fees paid to the cast, crew, musicians and other creative personnel
during rehearsals. In the case of a touring production, preproduction costs also
include all expenses associated with moving the production from venue to venue.
Expenses incurred after a production's first performance are termed
operating costs or running costs. Operating costs include post-opening
advertising, publicity and promotions, salaries of the cast, crew and musicians,
-2-
<PAGE>
equipment rental, theater rental, royalties payable to creative personnel and,
after the recovery of all production costs, third-party profit participation, if
any.
For touring productions presented in a series of venues, the allocation
between preproduction costs and operating costs is more complicated. For
example, for a production that is to tour in four cities, advertising expenses
incurred after the first performance in the first city may be operating costs
(if incurred in the first city) or preproduction costs (if incurred in any of
the other cities before the first performance in that city). Similarly, moving
costs typically are accounted for as preproduction costs. As a result,
unrecouped preproduction costs of a touring production may fluctuate upward,
even if the tour is generating operating profits, depending upon the levels of
advertising, moving and other costs incurred during the tour.
A production's revenues are only recognized as each performance is
presented. While tickets are usually sold well in advance of the performance
date, the revenue from each advance ticket is offset by the potential liability
that may arise if the performance is not presented and the ticket price must be
refunded. The arrangements for investing advance box office receipts and the
allocation of interest earned on those funds prior to the performance by which
such funds have been generated are often complex and the subject of negotiations
among the producer, the theater owner or manager, and any ticket-selling agency
engaged for the particular production.
Royalties payable to the Authors, to creative production personnel and
to producers are generally calculated as a percentage (typically 8% to 16% in
total) of box office receipts (gross ticket sales revenues, net only of taxes,
credit card charges and other agreed deductions). Alternatively, Authors and
creative talent can be remunerated on a profit pool basis whereby they receive
an agreed percentage of weekly operating profits (box office receipts net of
operating costs).
The point at which aggregate operating profits from the production are
equivalent to the preproduction costs is called recoupment and operating profits
earned by the production thereafter are called production profits. Some royalty
arrangements provide that recoupment triggers an increase in the percentage of
royalties to which creative personnel are entitled. Of course, for an
unsuccessful production recoupment may not occur.
THE COMPANY'S THEATRICAL AND CONCERT PRODUCTIONS
GENERAL
After the Company or one of its co-producers acquires the right to
produce a show, typically by paying a fee to the owner of the rights to the
show, the Company secures written offers from local presenters who guarantee the
Company minimum levels of weekly revenues. When the Company has secured enough
guaranteed contracts, it then finances the show. As is typical in the industry,
the Company finances its shows on an individual basis by selling limited
partnership interests to investors who assume much of the financial risk
associated with the show. The Company acts as general partner and attempts to
solicit as limited partners entities that will have a stake in the success of
the show, such as presenters and theater owners, as well as other investors. In
addition, the Company itself will occasionally have a limited partnership
interest in its productions, thereby assuming a greater portion of the risk
itself. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- General."

Barry Manilow, Grand Illusion tour starring Styx and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
THE THEATRICAL PROMOTION BUSINESS

such events at particular venues in which they are to play. The promoter is
responsible for ticket sales, advertising and marketing of the event. Generally,
the promoter guaranties the producer of the event a certain amount of revenue.
Any revenue over this amount generated by the promoter, less the expenses
incurred in connection with promotion of the event, is retained by the promoter.
THE COMPANY'S THEATRICAL AND CONCERT PROMOTIONS
The Company promoted during 1996 or is contractually obligated to
promote in 1997, the following shows:
"PHANTOM OF THE OPERA"
The Company presented sixteen weeks of this popular musical in Salt
Lake City.

live entertainment events. As management and booking agent, the Company is
retained by producers to arrange bookings for the tours of various theatrical
presentations, musical acts and one person shows. The Company then markets the
productions to presenters throughout the world, and is paid a fixed fee or a
percentage of proceeds, without investing any of its own capital. The Company
currently acts as exclusive management and booking agent for over 23 shows,
including "Rent," "Victor Victoria," "Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk,"
"Three Tall Women," "She Loves Me" and
-6-
<PAGE>
the national touring company of "A Chorus Line;" musical acts such as the
Newport Jazz All-Stars and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; and one-person shows
such as Hal Holbrook in "Mark Twain Tonight," James Whitmore in "Will Rogers
USA," Amanda Plummer in "The Belle of Amherst" and Kevin McCarthy in "Give 'Em
Hell Harry!" In addition, the Company's booking division has recently signed an
exclusive agreement to represent the new musical "Big," which is now playing on
Broadway, for all touring bookings in the U.S. and Canada except for New York,
Los Angeles and Toronto.
The Company's revenues from its management and booking activities have
increased from $0.5 million in the year ended December 31, 1992 to $1.4 million
in the year ended December 31, 1996. The Company successfully booked and managed
"Jesus Christ Superstar" by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice in 1993. This
success was followed by the Company's booking of "Hello, Dolly!" starring Carol
Channing in 1994 and "She Loves Me" and "The Pointer Sisters Ain't Misbehavin'"
in 1995. As a result of these and other successes of its booking and management
activities, the Company believes it has become a significant factor in the
industry in bringing first class touring Broadway shows to secondary U.S. and
major foreign markets.
VENUE OPERATIONS
The Company is involved in the operation, management and development of
venues for the presentation of a wide variety of live entertainment. The Company
believes that its relationships in the entertainment industry will facilitate
the expansion of its venue operations. As part of its growth strategy, the
Company intends to continue to expand its venue operations.
NORTH MIAMI PERFORMING ARTS AMPHITHEATER
The Company has a long term management contract with the City of North
Miami, Florida to develop, construct, manage and operate the City's proposed
Amphitheater with a planned open air capacity in excess of 25,000 people and an
under-roof capacity ranging from 3,000 to 15,000 people. The facility is
expected to be capable of accommodating at least one million people per year.
The project is planned to be constructed on Biscayne Bay, 15 miles
south of Fort Lauderdale and 15 miles north of downtown Miami. The project is
currently in the permitting stage, and in addition to permitting, is subject to
substantial contingencies relating to environmental concerns. Construction has
been delayed as a result of the inability of the City to obtain certain permits
and, consequently, the Company is unable to predict when construction will
commence, if ever. The Company is currently negotiating a date certain for
permit approval with the City of North Miami.
The 30-year term of the Company's management contract with the City of
North Miami will commence on the date of occupancy. Pursuant to the agreement,
the Company will pay to the City: (i) an annual minimum return subject to annual
adjustment based on the consumer price index, but not to exceed $0.5 million per
annum, (ii) a use fee charge equal to 5% of revenues from box office ticket
sales for productions presented at the facility and (iii) 5% of the gross
revenues received by the Company from concessions and parking. In addition, the
Company has agreed to remit a refundable deposit to the City in the sum of $1.5
million (upon the receipt of all governmental approvals and permits required for
construction of the facility and approval of a financing package acceptable to
the Company), to be applied toward the payment of construction, operation and
monitoring costs related to the facility. See "-Legal Proceedings."

<PAGE>
TRANSPORTATION
The Company owns ten custom-built sleeper tour buses which it leases to
touring productions under long and short term contracts for use in transporting
entertainers and crews during a show's tour. In addition, the Company leases
various show related equipment to touring productions (i.e., sound systems,
rigging and musical equipment). The Company has serviced all of the tours of its
own production tours of "The Magic of David Copperfield," "Jesus Christ
Superstar" as well as others, with a variety of rentals. The Company is
currently in the process of handling all trucking requirements of its internally
produced shows.
MERCHANDISING AND CONCESSIONS
The Company offers merchandise in connection with most of the
productions with which it is involved as a producer and/or a promoter, and also
in connection with certain other productions on a contract basis. The Company
merchandises cast recordings, videos, t-shirts and other memorabilia related to
a given show or client. The Company also sells food and beverages at its venues.
The Company's merchandising and concession clients in 1996 included tours of
"Fiddler on the Roof," "Hello, Dolly!," "Stomp," "A Chorus Line," "Carousel,"
"Tap Dogs," "Applause," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "The Magic of David Copperfield"
and "Annie." In addition, the Company has acquired the merchandising rights to
the upcoming tours of "Jekyll & Hyde," and "Push On" and will also provide
vending services for the North American tour of U2 and the Summer Daze Tour '97.
ADVERTISING, MARKETING AND SPONSORSHIPS
The Company's marketing, promotion and sponsorship division oversees
diverse production projects for the Company. The division is responsible for
advertising and promotion of the Company's various productions. Every television
spot, radio spot and print advertisement relating to the Company's productions
is produced under the supervision of the Company's in-house marketing staff.
Sales figures are monitored on a daily basis so that any marketing mix changes
necessary for a production are made promptly.
In 1996, the advertising division oversaw the marketing of such diverse
events as a Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville concert, the Akron Rib and Music
Festival, "Jesus Christ Superstar," "The Magic of David Copperfield" and
"Riverdance."
MOVIETIME
MovieTime was formed in May of 1995, in the State of Florida, to
develop and operate interactive digital phone systems that provide telephone
advertising, information and ticketing services to the motion picture industry.
The Company, which acquired MovieTime in August 1996, has decided
recently to reduce funding for MovieTime and plans to phase out MovieTime's
operations.
COMPETITION
The Company competes with a wide range of entertainment alternatives,
including movies, theatrical presentations, sporting events, concerts, and
others. Within its own industry segment, the Company competes with other
producers and booking agencies for attractive theatrical properties and artistic
talent.
The Company's merchandising division services the merchandising needs
of the in-house productions, venues and clients represented by the Company, but
competes for contracts for other productions with a number of other companies.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal executive offices are located in approximately
2,700 square feet of leased office space in Miami Beach, Florida. The Company
leases such space from a corporation owned by Messrs. Krassner and Marsh, the
Company's Co-Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman
of the Board, respectively, pursuant to a lease that expires in 2001 and which
provides for an annual rent of approximately $39,000. The Company also leases
approximately 3,500 square feet of office space in Aurora, Ohio pursuant to a
lease expiring in November 2002. The Company leases such space from Lee
Marshall, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, for an annual
rent of approximately $41,000. The Company also leases office space in Salt Lake
City, Utah from John W. Ballard, a director of the Company and the President of
Space Agency, pursuant to a lease expiring in December 2000 which provides for
an annual rent of approximately $36,000. See "Certain Transactions."
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
An arbitration proceeding (the "Statement of Claim") had been
instituted by Diamond Bullet Corporation, an affiliate of the Company ("DBC"),
against Robert L. Ferman ("Ferman"), a former financial advisor to certain of
the Company's predecessors. DBC's claim had been for rescission, fraud and
breach of fiduciary duty in connection with a consulting agreement under which
DBC agreed to pay Ferman a monthly retainer fee of $2,500 and an equity position
in DBC in the event that Ferman was successful in locating an acceptable
underwriter for a proposed initial public offering of the securities of the
Company or its affiliates. In March 1997 the Company and Ferman settled the
proceeding. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company has agreed to sell
to Ferman 500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Settlement Shares") for a
purchase price of $2,000,000, the market value of the Settlement Shares on the
date of the settlement agreement ($4.00). Ferman has issued to the Company his
three year, non-recourse promissory note (the "Note") in payment for the
Settlement Shares. The Settlement Shares will be held in escrow as security for
the Note by the Company pending payment of the Note.
In October 1994, a former independent contractor filed a complaint
against the limited partnership that produces "Jesus Christ Superstar" in the
Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia County seeking consequential damages of
$5,000,000 arising from the termination of an employment contract by such
limited partnership. A court date has not been set. Management believes, based
on the advice of counsel, that the lawsuit is without merit, and that the
outcome of this suit will not have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.
In February 1997, Kerri A. Strug has brought an action in the United
States District Court for the district of Arizona (the "Arizona Action") against
Magic Promotions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("MPI") in
connection with the "Goldmedal Gymnastics Tour" that has been touring in the
United States for anticipatory breach of her contract and a declaratory judgment
that Ms. Strug be released from her obligations under the contract. Ms. Strug
has claimed damages in excess of $850,000. Subsequently, on March 14, 1997, MPI
filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida ("the Florida Action") against Ms. Strug and her agent, Steve Rosner,
and Mr. Rosner's company, Integrated Sports International ("ISI"). The complaint
in the Florida action is in three counts: breach of contract by Ms. Strug, fraud
in the inducement by Ms. Strug, Mr. Rosner and ISI, and rescission against Ms.
Strug. The Company believes Ms. Strug's claims are without merit and intends to
pursue vigorously the Florida Action and to defend the Arizona Action.
Management believes, based on the advice of counsel, that the lawsuit is without
merit, and that the outcome of this suit will not have a material adverse effect
on its financial condition or results of operations.

Performing Arts Management of North Miami, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("PAM"), has commenced an action against the City of
North Miami (the "City") for failure to perform under the operating management
agreement between PAM and the City relating to PAM's management of the North
Miami Performing Arts Center. The City filed a counterclaim alleging that the
Company had breached the management contract. The dispute stems from the City's
inability to deliver a permit to the Company to build the performing arts center
as required under the operating agreement by failing to make certain payments
alleged to be required thereunder. The suit is currently in a 45 day settlement
period. The Company intends to pursue its suit vigorously and to defend itself
against the City's counterclaim. Management believes, based on the advice of
counsel, that the City's counterclaim is without merit, and that the outcome of
this suit will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated (the "Company"), through its
subsidiaries and related partnerships, acquires domestic and international stage
and ancillary rights to theatrical productions, produces and promotes live
entertainment, manages and books performances and shows, and merchandises a
broad range of products associated with its productions and performers. Prior to
1992, the Company focused primarily on, and generated the majority of its
revenue from, the worldwide production of "The Magic of David Copperfield," as
well as its management and booking agency and merchandising businesses, and was
not involved in other large scale productions. In 1992 the Company began to act
regularly as producer and co-producer in cases in which the Company determined,
based on the responses to its booking inquiries, that the demand for a
production was strong. In some cases, the Company also obtained additional
rights associated with the show, such as the ability to present the show in
certain venues. In addition, the Company's strategy with respect to its
theatrical production business was and continues to focus upon production of
popular, proven hits rather than first run productions.
The Company is the successor by merger to the business of Magicworks
Entertainment Incorporated, a Florida corporation ("Magicworks"). On July 29,
1996, certain of the Company's predecessors in interest consummated a business
combination pursuant to which their operations were consolidated (the
"Consolidation"). On the same date, the Company issued and sold 400.06 units
("Units"), each unit consisting of an unsecured senior convertible note in the
principal amount of $12,500 bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum
(collectively, the "Notes"), and 5,000 shares of its common stock, par value
$.001 per share (the "Magicworks Common Stock"), in a private placement (the
"Private Placement") from which it received net proceeds in the amount of
$8,782,832. On September 27, 1996, the Company sold an additional 14.8 Units
pursuant to the Private Placement from which it received additional net proceeds
in the amount $333,000.
Upon completion of the Private Placement, Magicworks merged with and
into the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each share of
Magicworks Common Stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of
the Company's common stock $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"). The Company was
the surviving corporation in the Merger and investors in the Private Placement
became security holders of the Company. Upon consummation of the Merger, the
Company changed its name from Shadow Wood Corporation to Magicworks
Entertainment Incorporated.
GENERAL
The Company's revenues are derived principally from its production and
promotion activities, which, in 1996, accounted for approximately 42.3% and
50.7%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues.
The Company's operating results have fluctuated significantly from
quarter to quarter and year to year, primarily as a result of the number of
shows or events in production, the timing and staging of productions, and the
Company's involvement in promotion as well as production in certain instances.
In addition, the season for most of the Company's theatrical productions runs
from September to June. While the Company engages in other businesses and
productions, including summer music tours, during the rest of the year, its
operating results have fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter and year
to year, and may be expected to continue to do so in the future. Production
revenue results from the sale to local promoters of shows produced by the
Company in exchange for a guaranteed weekly fee, plus a percentage of box office
receipts and other revenue. In cases where the Company participates in the
promotion of a show it is producing, it becomes involved in the local
presentation, enhancing its opportunity for profits and exposing itself to
greater risk. In addition, the Company has historically derived a significant
percentage of its revenues and profits from one production, "The Magic of David
Copperfield." This situation results in part from the successful expansion of
the "David Copperfield" production in Europe and Asia, where the Company
participates as a producer and a non-managing promoter. With respect to its
share of promotion receipts when it is the non-managing promoter, the Company
records its share of the net profits, but does not record the corresponding
revenues or expenses.
-13-
<PAGE>
The majority of the Company's operating expenses consist of the
operating costs of its concert and theatrical productions and the amortization
of preproduction costs. Preproduction costs include pre-opening advertising,
publicity and promotions, set construction, props, costumes, and salaries and
fees paid to the cast, crew and musicians and creative participants during
rehearsals. Preproduction costs incurred prior to the opening performance are
capitalized, net of amounts received from investors. These costs are then
amortized over the guaranteed terms of the respective shows, which range from 12
to 24 months. Operating costs are expensed as incurred. As discussed above, with
respect to revenues from promotions, when the Company participates in the
promotion of a profitable production, the managing promoter remits to the
Company its share of the net profits; accordingly, the Company's revenues are
enhanced without any charge to expenses. When the Company is the managing
promoter, it records both the associated revenues and expenses.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the following partnerships involved in equity and non-equity theatrical
production: The Judas Company ("Judas") which was formed in 1992, Dolliko, which
was formed in 1994, Impossible Touring Company ("Impossible") which was formed
in 1993, Ain't Misbehavin' Company ("Ain't Misbehavin") which was formed in 1995
and The Deathtrap Company ("Deathtrap") which was formed in 1996. Although at
December 31, 1996, the Company held less than a 51% ownership interest in these
partnerships, their results are consolidated as the Company exercises control
over the operating and financial policies of these partnerships, both
contractually and in practice, and such control is not expected to be temporary.
The percentages of these partnerships not owned by the Company are presented as
minority interests in the consolidated financial statements.
The following table sets forth the shows that the Company either
produced or co-produced in each year from 1992 through 1996:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
Revenues increased by $17.9 million, or 33.3%, to $71.6 million in 1996
from $53.7 million in 1995, primarily because the Company produced or promoted
more shows in 1996 including the Company's promotion of "Phantom of the Opera"
in 1996 and the Southeast Asia tour of "David Copperfield."
-14-
<PAGE>
Production revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 4.4%, to $30.3 in 1996
from $31.6 million in 1995. The decrease resulted primarily from the decreased
revenues from "Hello, Dolly!" (which ended its tour in January of 1996 and
recommenced touring in September of 1996) and "Jesus Christ Superstar" which
went on hiatus during the summer of 1996. Revenue from "Hello, Dolly!" decreased
by $9.1 million, to $1.5 million in 1996 from $10.6 million in 1995. This
decrease was offset by the commencement of the concert division productions of
the "Styx/Kansas" and "The Lynyrd Skynyrd/Doobie Brothers" tours and productions
of "Cufolk Dance Troup" and "The Night in New Orleans Tour."
Promotion revenue increased by $18.9 million, or 108.6%, to $36.3
million in 1996 from $17.4 million in 1995, primarily as a result of the
successful promotions of "The Phantom of the Opera" and the Southeast Asia tour
of "David Copperfield."
Merchandising revenues increased $0.2 million, or 8.6%, to $2.7 million
in 1996 from $2.5 million in 1995. In 1996, the Company provided merchandising
for fourteen shows as opposed to eight in 1995.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 95.4% in
1996 from 91.5% in 1995 as a result of the Company increasing its overhead due
to costs associated with being public as well as incurring a full year of start
up expenses for MovieTime in addition to the costs described below.
Production expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 4.2%, to $28.0
million in 1996 from $29.3 million in 1995, primarily as a result of the
significant decrease in expenses for "Hello, Dolly!," and "Jesus Christ
Superstar" partially offset by increased expenses from the commencement of the
concert division described above. As a percentage of production revenues,
production expenses remained relatively constant, at 92.6% in 1996 and 92.5% in
1995.
Promotion expenses increased by $17.3 million, or 127.8%, to $30.8
million in 1996 from $13.5 million in 1995, primarily from the proportional
increase from the successful promotion of "The Phantom of the Opera" and "David
Copperfield". As a percentage of promotion revenues, promotion expenses
increased to 84.7% in 1996 from 77.6% in 1995, primarily from the increased
costs associated with promoting concerts dates which commenced in 1996.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased by $1.1 million, or 39.6%, to
$3.7 million in 1996 from $2.6 million in 1995. The increase resulted from
non-recurring pension expense of $0.1 million in connection with the termination
of the Company's status as an S-Corporation, the hiring of five additional
employees in the transportation division, two additional marketing employees,
and six additional administrative employees due to anticipated future growth. As
a percentage of revenues, salaries, wages and benefits increased to 5.2% in 1996
as compared to 4.9% in 1995.
As a percentage of merchandising revenue, the costs of goods sold
increased to 72.0% in 1996 from 59.1% in 1995, primarily due to a $0.1 million
write down of merchandise that occurred in the fourth quarter of 1996.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million, or
72.8%, to $3.9 million in 1996 from $2.3 million in 1995. The increase was due
to inclusion of a full year of expenses in 1996 from MovieTime compared to only
seven months of operations in 1995 ($0.5 million in 1996 compared to $0.2
million in 1995), additional depreciation on the Company's buses, five of which
were acquired in the fourth quarter of 1995 and the commencement of the concerts
division which incurred $0.5 million in expenses in 1996. Also included are
expenses associated with being a public company that were not present in the
preceding year.
Interest income remained relatively constant at $0.3 million in 1996
and 1995.
The Company had interest expense of $0.5 million in 1996 compared to
$0.1 million in 1995. The increase was attributable to the interest relating to
the Notes issued in the Private Placement.
-15-
<PAGE>
Income from investments in partnerships not consolidated by the Company
decreased by $0.3 million to $0.1 million in 1996 from $0.4 million in 1995. The
decrease is attributable to the closing of the "Nutcracker" and "Tommy" in 1996
partially offset by the commencement of "Chorus Line."
Minority interests decreased by approximately $1.5 million, to $11,000
in 1996 from $1.5 million in 1995. The expense related to the portions of
"Hello, Dolly!," "She Loves Me," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Ain't
Misbehavin'-Non Union Tour" and "Deathtrap" not owned by the Company were
insignificant in 1996. In 1995, the expenses related to such interests in "Jesus
Christ Superstar," "Hello Dolly!", "Ain't Misbehavin'-Union Tour" and "She Loves
Me" increased significantly due to higher minority profits earned with respect
to these shows. The amount of minority interest liability fluctuates depending
on the timing of productions and distributions.
Income before provision for income taxes decreased by $0.5 million to
$3.2 million in 1996 from $3.7 million in 1995 as a result of the foregoing in
addition to the $0.6 million tax charge incurred by the Company as a result of
its switch from S-Corporation status to C-Corporation status in 1996. Pro forma
net income decreased by $0.8 million to $1.4 in 1996 from $2.3 in 1995.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
Revenues increased by $13.2 million, or 32.5%, to $53.7 million in 1995
from $40.5 million in 1994, primarily because the Company produced more shows in
1995, including "Jesus Christ Superstar," "David Copperfield," "Hello Dolly!,"
"She Loves Me" and "Ain't Misbehavin'." In 1994, the Company realized production
revenues from full seasons of "David Copperfield" and "Jesus Christ Superstar"
but only partial seasons of "Hello, Dolly!" and "Man of La Mancha." In addition,
the Company promoted a successful run of "Les Miserables" in 1995.
Production revenue increased by $8.3 million, or 35.5%, to $31.6
million in 1995 from $23.3 million in 1994. The increase resulted primarily from
the addition of revenues from "Hello Dolly!" (which opened at the end of 1994
and ran through January 1996), "She Loves Me" and "Ain't Misbehavin'" to the
existing productions of "David Copperfield," and "Jesus Christ Superstar,"
partially offset by the loss of revenues from "Man of La Mancha." Revenue from
"Hello Dolly!" increased from $7.9 million in 1994 to $16.4 million in 1995,
which offset the reduction in revenue from "Jesus Star Superstar" from $14.7
million in 1994 to $10.4 million in 1995.
Promotion revenue increased by $4.1 million, or 31.0%, to $17.4 million
in 1995 from $13.3 million in 1994, primarily from successful promoter dates of
"Les Miserables."
Merchandising revenues increased by $0.2 million, or 5.8%, to $2.5
million in 1995 from $2.3 million in 1994. In 1995, the Company provided
merchandising for eight shows, as opposed to nine shows in 1994. Revenue
increased, however, as a result of the increase in the number of tour dates for
David Copperfield in 1995.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses stayed relatively
constant (91.5% in 1995 compared to 91.3% in 1994) as a result of the Company's
increase in overhead, which increase was proportionate to the Company's increase
in revenues during the period.
Production expenses increased by $7.5 million, or 34.3%, to $29.3
million in 1995 from $21.8 million in 1994, primarily as a result of the
significant increase in expenses for "Hello, Dolly!," from $7.3 million in 1994
to $14.6 million in 1995, reflecting the increased period of operation. As a
percentage of production revenues, production expenses remained relatively
constant, at 92.5% in 1995 and 93.3% in 1994.
-16-
<PAGE>
Promotion expenses increased by $3.6 million, or 36.3%, to $13.5
million in 1995 from $9.9 million in 1994, primarily from the successful run of
"Les Miserables" in 1995. As a percentage of promotion revenues, promotion
expenses remained relatively constant at 77.6% 1995 and 74.6% in 1994.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased by $0.7 million, or 36.8%, to
$2.6 million in 1995 from $1.9 million in 1994. The increase resulted from
additional personnel, primarily in the booking and promotional divisions, as
well as additional personnel to oversee the "David Copperfield" tour. As a
percentage of revenues, salaries, wages and benefits increased to 4.9% in 1995
as compared to 4.8% in 1994.
As a percentage of merchandising revenue, the costs of goods sold
declined to 59.1% in 1995 from 78.0% in 1994, primarily because of a decrease in
the unit cost of the merchandise in 1995.
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million, or
45.5%, to $2.3 million in 1995 from $1.6 million in 1994. The primary reason for
the increase related to increased maintenance and repairs for tour buses and
incremental costs associated with leasing of additional buses in 1995 and the
expansion of the box office operations in Salt Lake City.
Interest income increased by $0.2 to $0.3 million in 1995 from $0.1
million in 1994 primarily from advance ticket sales held by the Company in
interest bearing accounts.
The Company had interest expense of $0.1 million in 1995 compared to
$20,000 in 1994. The increase was attributable to the increase in the amount of
outstanding bus loans the Company incurred in 1995.
Income from investments in partnerships not produced by the Company
remained stable at $0.4 million in 1995 and 1994.
Minority interests were constant at $1.5 million in 1995 and 1994. In
1995, the expense related primarily to the portions of "Hello, Dolly!," "She
Loves Me," "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Ain't Misbehavin'" not owned by the
Company. In 1994, the expenses related to such interests in "Jesus Christ
Superstar," "Hello, Dolly!" and "Man of La Mancha."
Net income before provision for income taxes increased by $1.2 million
(47.8%) as a result of the foregoing, to $3.7 million in 1995 from $2.5 million
in 1994. Pro forma net income increased by $0.7 million (47.8%) to $2.3 in 1995
from $1.6 in 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $6.6 million
compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 1995. Through July 1996, the Company
financed its operations primarily through borrowings and cash flow from
operations. During 1996, the Company received net proceeds of $9.1 million from
the sale of 414.86 Units in the Private Placement.
During 1996, the Company made S-Corporation distributions aggregating
$4,211,972, as compared to $4,171,129 in 1995, to the stockholders of the
Constituent Corporations. No further S-Corporation distributions will be made.
The Company has a line of credit and other short term borrowings which
are payable on demand (the "Credit Line"). The Credit Line provides for
short-term borrowings of up to $1.2 million with interest at prime plus 3/4%.
The Credit Line is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets
and is guaranteed by certain executive officers of the Company. At December 31,
1996, the full amount of the Credit Line was available for borrowing. The
-17-
<PAGE>
Company's remaining indebtedness consists of $1.3 million, collateralized by
buses used in the Company's business, and $5.2 million of Notes sold in the
Private Placement.
The Company's principal anticipated capital expenditures over the next
several years will relate to acquisitions, if suitable opportunities arise, and
the production of additional theatrical productions.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased in 1996 to $1.5
million as compared to $4.9 million in 1995. The decrease in net cash provided
by operating activities in 1996 related to a decrease in advance ticket sales
and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The decrease in net cash provided by
operating activities in 1995 related primarily to a substantial increase in
preproduction costs during the period relating primarily to "Hello, Dolly!"
offset in part by an increase in accounts payable and receipt of advance ticket
sales.
Net cash used by investing activities totaled $1.7 million in 1996, as
compared to $0.9 million in 1995. The increase in cash used in investing
activities for 1996 related primarily to the payment of loans due to affiliates
and investments in new theatrical shows for 1997 as well as the purchase of
three buses. The increase in cash used in investing activities in 1995 related
primarily to the purchase of five new buses.
Net cash provided (used) by financing activities totaled $1.5 million
in 1996 as compared to $(3.3) million in 1995. During 1996 the Company received
net proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $9.1 million after
deduction of all fees and expenses associated therewith, offset by the repayment
of certain indebtedness under the Line of Credit. The increase in cash used in
financing activities in 1995 from 1994 related primarily to the additional
distributions made to principals of the Company and to minority partners,
partially offset by an increase in proceeds received from debt.
The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"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 which
represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events,
furture liquidity and capital resource needs. These forward looking statements
are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward looking statements.

MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- - - ---------------------------------------
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries
and partnerships, produces, promotes and represents live theatrical acts and
events and provides ancillary services including merchandising and
transportation.
On July 29, 1996, the Company consummated a simultaneous merger (the "Merger")
with certain other affiliated businesses. On the same date, the Company issued
and sold 400.06 Units in a private placement (see Note 5) from which it received
net proceeds in the amount of $8,782,832. Each unit consists of an unsecured
senior convertible note (the "Notes") in the principal amount of $12,500 bearing
interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and 5,000 shares of common stock. On
September 27, 1996, the Company sold an additional 14.8 Units pursuant to the
private placement from which it received additional net proceeds in the amount
$333,000. Upon completion of the private placement, the Company merged with and
into Shadow Wood Corporation ("Shadow Wood"), a publicly-traded Delaware
corporation. In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each share of the
Company's common stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of
Shadow Wood's common stock. Shadow Wood was the surviving corporation and
investors in the private placement became security holders of Shadow Wood.
Shadow Wood changed its name to Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated.
For periods prior to July 29, 1996, the Financial Statements present the
combined results of Magic Promotion, Inc., Magic Promotions, Inc., Touring
Artists Group, Inc., Performing Arts Management of North Miami, Inc., Diamond
Bullet Merchandising, Inc., MovieTime Entertainment Inc. and Space Agency, Inc.
On August 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
MovieTime Entertainment, Inc. ("MovieTime") in exchange for 1,199,999 shares of
the Company's common stock. MovieTime was formed in May 1995. The principals of
MovieTime are the same as the principals and management of the Company.
Accordingly, the acquisition was accounted for on a historical cost basis in a
manner similar to a pooling of interests. The consolidated financial statements
have been restated to reflect the accounts of MovieTime since inception.
Revenues and loss generated by MovieTime and included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations are as follows:
1996 1995
----------- -----------
Revenues $ 81,077 $ -
=========== ===========
Loss before pro forma income taxes $ (674,703) $ (402,963)
=========== ===========
Revenues and loss generated by MovieTime prior to the date of acquisition and
included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996 were $59,546 and ($449,161), respectively.

<PAGE>
On December 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of Space Agency, Inc. ("Space") in exchange for 1,320,001 shares of the
Company's common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for using the pooling
of interests method of accounting. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements have been restated to reflect the accounts of Space since inception.
Revenues, income and distributions to stockholders generated by Space included
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

Misbehavin") which commenced in 1995 and The Deathtrap Company ("Deathtrap")
which was formed in 1996. Although at December 31, 1996, the Company held less
than a 51% ownership interest in these partnerships, their results are
consolidated as the Company exercises control over the operating and financial
policies of these partnerships, both contractually and in practice, and such
control is not expected to be temporary.
The percentage of the partnerships not owned by the Company are presented as
minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of
minority interest liability fluctuates depending on the timing of performances
and distributions. Income from operations from the partnerships included in the
consolidated statements of operations was $338,624, $2,065,804 and $1,710,017 in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of
the following wholly-owned subsidiaries:
Touring Artists Group, Inc. ("TAG"), formed in 1993 to book live theatrical
performances and other entertainment related events throughout the United States
on behalf of the Company and third parties.
Performing Arts Management of North Miami, Inc. ("PAM"), formed in January 1991
to operate, manage and engage in the business of development, management and
promotion of cultural performance centers. See Notes 10 and 12.
Diamond Bullet Merchandising, Inc. ("DBM"), formed in 1988 to sell souvenir
related merchandise for Company produced and third party entertainment
productions.
Magic Promotions, Inc. and Magic Promotion, Inc., formed in 1993 and 1994,
respectively, to produce and promote live theatrical entertainment and to
provide ancillary services including merchandising and transportation.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
the consolidated financial statements.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in short-term highly
liquid financial instruments, primarily time deposits and money market accounts,
with original maturities of three months or less. Due to the short maturity
period of the cash equivalents, the carrying amount of these instruments
approximates their fair values. Included in cash and cash equivalents are
interest bearing deposits of $3,886,969 and $315,398 at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in first-out
basis, or net realizable value.
PREPRODUCTION COSTS
Preproduction costs consist mainly of pre-opening advertising and promotion,
rehearsal salaries, set design and construction expenditures incurred prior to
the first performance of the theatrical productions. These costs are amortized
over the terms of the respective shows, which range from 12 to 24 months.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease terms if shorter as follows:
Leasehold improvements Life of the lease
Furniture and equipment 5 to 7 years
Vehicles 10 to 15 years
Repairs of property and equipment and minor replacements and renewals are
charged to maintenance expense, which is included in general and administrative
expenses, as incurred.
INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS
The Company has limited partnership interests, ranging from 1% to 24%, in
various theatrical productions. Because the Company does not exercise
significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these
productions, these investments are carried at cost, $397,331 and $152,384 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and income is only recognized when
received in the form of distributions. The Company recognized income from
distributions of $0, $418,679 and $417,071 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company has nine joint venture interests ranging from 25% to 50%, in various
seasonal productions. Because the Company exercises influence over the operating
and financial policies of these productions, these investments are accounted for
under the equity method. The carrying value of such investments was $521,233 and
$195,399 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company recognized
income from investments in partnerships of $83,922, $0, and $0 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

<PAGE>
DEFERRED COSTS
Deferred costs consist mainly of pre-opening legal and professional fees
incurred in connection with The Performing Art Center of North Miami (see Note
10) and deferred debt costs incurred in connection with the private placement by
the Company discussed in Note 5.
Deferred costs relating to the Performing Arts Center amounting to $337,646 will
be amortized over a maximum period of three years once operations commence. If
construction begins and progresses on schedule, the facility is expected to
begin operations in 1998.
Deferred debt costs of $767,468, net of accumulated amortization of $68,566, are
being amortized over the 5 year term of the related debt. Amortization of
deferred debt costs amounted to $68,566 in 1996.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets result from the allocation of the excess cost of acquisitions
over the fair value of net assets acquired. Intangible assets primarily included
booking agreements of $341,595 resulting from the acquisition of the National
Artists Management Company, Inc. in 1992 and a management operating agreement in
the amount of $466,962 are being amortized over the terms of the agreements of 5
and 30 years, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets amounted to
$123,745, $147,593 and $93,951, for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Total
accumulated amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired was $482,812
and $359,067 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company continually evaluates
whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining net
book value of intangibles may warrant revision or may not be recoverable.
REVENUES
Revenues are recognized when earned, which is generally at the time of the
theatrical performance or entertainment events. Production revenues represent
the Company's share of performance revenues. Cash received in advance of a
performance is reflected as advance ticket sales in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. Promotion revenues represent the Company's share of
performance operating results where the Company serves as promoter.
Receivables include amounts due from shows which the Company acts as the
promoter, advances to shows for start-up costs which will be repaid from profit
distributions, and amounts due from theaters for ticket sales. The Company
provides an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on a monthly
review of the outstanding receivables and evaluation of their collectibility. At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, no allowances were recorded.
A substantial portion of the Company's revenues are derived from the production
and promotion of live entertainment acts and events throughout the United
States, Canada and Mexico. Changes in the entertainment preferences of the
general populations could affect the Company's future revenues.

<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES
As a result of the Merger, the Company and its subsidiaries, previously S
Corporations, became subject to U.S. corporate income tax. Prior to July 30,
1996, the stockholders included their proportionate share of the Company's
income in their respective tax returns.
The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include pro forma income
taxes due for periods prior to the Merger as if the Company had been subject to
Federal and state corporate income taxes, based on the tax laws in effect during
those periods and statutory rates applied to pre-tax accounting income.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of
these accounts.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company has no significant off balance sheet concentration of credit risk.
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.
PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Pro forma net income per common share is computed by dividing pro forma net
income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock
equivalents outstanding for each period. Common stock equivalents include the
dilutive effect of all outstanding stock options and warrants after application
of the treasury stock method. Fully diluted net income per common share also
assumes the maximum dilutive effect from stock options and warrants, and
conversion of the Company's convertible notes (see Note 5). For all periods
presented, primary and fully diluted net income per share are the same.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). The
impact of adopting SFAS 121 in 1996 was immaterial.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 applies to transactions with nonemployees
after December 15, 1995. The expense recognized for stock options issued to
consultants in fiscal
13
<PAGE>
1996, as more fully described in Note 11, was reflected under the provisions of
SFAS 123. The Company intends to continue applying the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
25"), for transactions with employees, as permitted by SFAS 123.

(5) PRIVATE PLACEMENT:
On July 29, 1996, the Company issued and sold 400.06 Units for which it received
net proceeds of $8,782,832. On September 27, 1996, the Company sold an
additional 14.8 Units pursuant to the private placement for which it received
additional net proceeds of $333,000. Each unit consists of an unsecured senior
convertible note (the "Notes") in the principal amount of $12,500 bearing
interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and 5,000 shares of common stock. The value
attributable to the common shares was $2.50 per share. As a placement fee, the
placement agent received 488,820 shares of the Company's common stock.
The Notes require interest payments semi-annually on June 30 and December 31.
The Notes contain mandatory sinking fund requirements which are calculated to
retire 75% of the face amount of the Notes after payment of seven consecutive
equal quarterly contributions, the first such contribution to occur on October
1, 1999 and every ninety days thereafter.
The principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest on each Note is convertible
(in whole but not in part), at any time prior to July 30, 2001, at a conversion
price of $3.50 per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The
Notes may be prepaid by the Company at its option at the principal amount plus
accrued but unpaid interest.
15
<PAGE>
In addition to the placement fee described above, the Company issued the
placement agent 500,000 warrants at an exercise price of $3.00 per share,
(subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and has authorized up to
1,481,643 redeemable warrants that may be issued in connection with the
prepayment of the Notes in certain circumstances at $3.50 per share.

The Company has a line of credit with a bank which provides for short-term
borrowings of up to $1.2 million with interest at prime plus 3/4%. The line of
credit is guaranteed by certain executive officers of the Company. At December
31, 1996, the full amount of the line of credit was available for borrowing.
(7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
Effective January 1, 1988, the Company initiated a Money Purchase Plan and Trust
(the "Plan") for all full-time employees who have completed one year of service
and are at least 21 years of age. The Company contributes an amount not to
exceed 25% of the participating employee's compensation or $30,000. In addition,
the Plan permits the Company to make additional discretionary contributions to
the Plan. Total contributions to the Plan were $55,792, $69,000, and $70,446 in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Employees vest in the Company's discretionary
contributions at the rate of 20% per year upon completion of two years of
service.
Space has a qualified profit sharing plan for the employees. Contributions to
the plan are determined by the Board of Directors each year, and are limited to
an amount not to exceed 15% of eligible compensation paid to participants for
the year. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after one year if
they are over 21 and work at least 1,000 hours each year. Space made
contributions to the plan of $59,222, $53,408 and $35,983 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
16
<PAGE>
The Company does not currently provide any other post employment or retirement
benefits.
(8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
In the normal course of its business, the Company conducts business with certain
stockholders and their respective affiliates. In the opinion of management, the
transactions with related parties are equivalent to terms from unrelated
parties.
Fees paid by the Company for accounting, general management, office and other
administrative services to entities controlled by certain principal stockholders
were $25,750, $53,218, and $75,378 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are
reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.
The Company entered into three noncancelable operating leases for office space
with related entities. The Company is required to pay taxes, maintenance,
insurance and utility costs. Payments under these leases totaled $80,504,
$89,924 and $91,526 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See Note 10 for a
summary of future minimum commitments under these noncancelable operating
leases.
Included in due from affiliates and due to affiliates are the net balances of
receivables and payables due from entities controlled by certain stockholders
and minority partners and due to certain stockholders. Receivables with an
outstanding balance, including accrued interest, totaled $75,945 and $678,949 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Payables due to certain stockholders
with an outstanding balance, including accrued interest, totaled $72,732 and
$828,977 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
(9) INCOME TAXES:
The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
1996
--------------
Current $ 185,822
Deferred 411,394
--------------
$ 597,216
==============
Federal $ 514,028
State 83,188
--------------
$ 597,216
==============
There is no provision for income taxes for 1995 and 1994 as prior to July 29,
1996, the stockholders included their proportionate share of the Company's
income in their respective tax returns. Pro forma income taxes represent the
estimated tax provision, at 39%, which would have been recorded had the Company
been a taxable entity for all periods presented.
17
<PAGE>
A reconciliation of the difference between the expected provision for income
taxes using the statutory Federal tax rate and the Company's actual provision is
as follows:
1996
--------------
Provision using statutory rate of 34% $ 1,071,424
State income taxes 50,745
Income earned in period prior to July 29, 1996 (1,161,758)
Deferred income taxes recorded at July 29, 1996 548,525
Other 88,280
--------------
$ 597,216
==============
Deferred taxes are due to timing differences in reporting of certain income and
expense items for book purposes and income tax purposes. Deferred taxes at
December 31, 1996 consist primarily of the impact, prior to July 29, 1996, of
the Company reporting its income on a cash basis.
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
LITIGATION
In October 1994, a former independent contractor filed a complaint against a
partnership of the Company in the Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia County
seeking consequential damages of $5,000,000 arising from the termination of an
employment contract. The Company believes that the claim is without merit, and
that the matter will be resolved without a material adverse effect to the
Company's financial position.
The Company filed a complaint against a former financial advisor for rescission,
fraud and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with a consulting agreement.
The individual filed a counter claim and seeks damages relating to his
involvement in the private placement of the Company. See Note 12.
GENERAL MANAGER AGREEMENTS
The Company entered into management agreements with Niko Associates ("Niko"), an
unrelated entity, to manage the daily general operations during the entire
periods of production of Dolliko, Judas and Impossible. Management fees are
calculated based on fixed weekly fees ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 per
performance week plus reimbursement of certain overhead related costs.
Management fees paid by the Company to Niko amounted to $635,000, $309,498 and
$238,408 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are reflected in production
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
18
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT OPERATING AGREEMENT
In May 1992, the Company and the City of North Miami, Florida (the "City")
entered into an agreement to develop, construct, manage and operate a cultural
facility for the performing and visual arts exclusively on behalf of the City.
The project will be owned by the City and is expected to be funded through the
issuance of 40 year industrial development revenue bonds without recourse to the
City. The term of the agreement will commence on the date of occupancy (expected
to begin in 1998) and will continue for a period of 30 years.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will receive gross revenues, as defined,
generated by the facility and has agreed to pay to the City; (i) an annual
minimum return of $200,000 adjusted annually to reflect changes in the consumer
price index, but not to exceed $500,000 per annum, (ii) a use fee charge
equivalent to 5% of box office ticket sale revenue, and (iii) 5% of the gross
monies actually received by the Company for concessions and parking. In
addition, the Company has agreed to deposit with the City upon the approval by
all federal, state, county and local regulatory and administrative agencies with
jurisdiction over the project the refundable sum of $1,500,000, which is to be
applied toward the payment of construction, operation and monitoring costs of
the facility. In the event the cash flow generated by the facility is not
sufficient to pay the interest and principal on the bonds, the management rights
will revert to the City. See Note 12.
OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases office space from affiliated entities under operating lease
agreements which extend through June 2001. The following is a schedule of
approximate future minimum lease payments required under such noncancelable
operating leases at December 31, 1996:
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, TOTAL
----------------------- ------------
1997 $ 116,009
1998 80,730
1999 83,286
2000 85,842
2001 25,560
------------
$ 391,427
============
The Company has month-to-month leases with unaffiliated entities. Rent expense
amounted to $161,140, $155,200 and $153,821 for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and is included in general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
ROYALTY AGREEMENTS
The Company has royalty agreements with certain authors, actors, directors and
choreographers and their respective unions. These agreements are for the length
of the shows and may include incentive bonuses based upon specified goals. The
aggregate commitment for future royalties, excluding bonuses, as of December 31,
1996, was approximately $1,724,000.
19
<PAGE>
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with key personnel that
require future minimum payments as follows:
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, TOTAL
------------------------ ------------
1997 $ 1,119,167
1998 1,191,667
1999 1,291,667

2001 800,000
------------
$ 5,544,168
============
(11) STOCK OPTIONS:
At the discretion of management, the Company may grant options to purchase the
Company's stock to employees, directors, consultants, and other unrelated
parties. In 1996, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of
216,500 shares as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
OPTIONS EXERCISE PRICE

============ ==============
Options exercisable, December 31, 1996 162,500
==========
</TABLE>
The Company applies APB 25 and its related interpretations in accounting for
options granted to employees. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized related to such grants. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock
options been based on fair value at the grant dates for awards granted,
consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's 1996 pro forma net
income and pro forma income per share would have been reduced to the amounts
indicated below:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Pro forma net income As reported $ 1,404,005
Pro forma for the impact of SFAS 123 $ 1,384,146
Pro forma income per share As reported $ .06
Pro forma for the impact of SFAS 123 $ .06
</TABLE>
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected
volatility of 25.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, expected dividends of $0
and expected terms of 3 years.
20
<PAGE>
In 1996, the Company recorded expense of $94,000 related to 200,000 stock
options granted to nonemployees of the Company. In determining the expense to be
recorded, the Company applied the Black-Scholes model using the same assumptions
described above.
(12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
(a) Merger
In January 1997, TAG completed the merger of its operations with another booking
office to form The Booking Group, LLC, (the "Booking Group"). TAG will
participate as a 33.33% partner. TAG will account for its investment in the
Booking Group using the equity method.
(b) Litigation
In January 1997, the Company filed suit against the City for failure to perform
under the current operating management agreement (see Note 10). The City filed a
counter claim alleging the Company had breached the management contract. The
Company intends to vigorously defend its position in the counter suit and
believes that the matter will be resolved without a material adverse effect to
the Company's financial position.
In March 1997, KAS Enterprises, Incorporated ("KAS"), which represents a
performer, filed suit against the Company for breach of contract and declaratory
relief seeking damages in excess of $850,000. On March 14, 1997, the Company
filed a suit for breach of contract, fraud in the inducement and rescission. The
Company intends to vigorously defend its position and believes that the matter
will be resolved without a material adverse effect to the Company's financial
position.
(c) Settlement Agreement
On March 25, 1997, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a former
financial advisor concluding and dismissing all claims see Note 10. The advisor
was permitted to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at the
current market price in exchange for a note payable. The note will be secured by
the shares of stock acquired.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") acted as the independent auditors
for certain of the Company's predecessors in connection with the Private
Placement transaction that closed on July 31, 1996 and in connection with a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 which was filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 1996. On November 6, 1996, the
Company dismissed Ernst & Young as its independent auditors and in connection
therewith retained Arthur Andersen LLP to act as its new independent auditing
firm. The audit committee of the Company's Board of Directors recommended and
approved the change in the Company's independent auditors.
Ernst & Young's reports on the combined financial statements of
Magicworks Entertainment and the combined financial statements of Magic
Promotion, Inc. for the two years ended December 31, 1995 and the financial
statements of Diamond Bullet Merchandising for the year ended December 31, 1995
did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, nor were any of
such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting

SPACE AGENCY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- - - ---------------------------------------
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Space Agency, Inc. (the "Company") promotes live theatrical entertainment. On
December 31, 1996, the Company was acquired by Magicworks Entertainment
Incorporated, an unaffiliated entity. In connection with the acquisition, all
the Company's outstanding capital stock was exchanged for 1,320,001 shares of
common stock of Magicworks. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
pooling of interests method of accounting.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in short-term highly
liquid financial instruments, primarily time deposits and money market accounts,
with original maturities of three months or less. Due to the short maturity
period of the cash equivalents, the carrying amount of these instruments
approximates their fair values. Included in cash and cash equivalents are
interest bearing deposits of $835,536 and $3,735,202 at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
PREPRODUCTION COSTS
Preproduction costs consist mainly of pre-opening advertising, printing and
rental deposits incurred prior to the first performance of the theatrical
productions. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective shows,
which range from 12 to 24 months.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease terms if shorter as follows:
Leasehold improvements Life of the lease
Furniture and equipment 5 to 7 years
Repairs of property and equipment and minor replacements and renewals are
charged to maintenance expense, which is included in general and administrative
expenses, as incurred.
REVENUES
Revenues are recognized when earned, which is generally at the time of the
theatrical performance or entertainment events. Cash received in advance of a
performance is reflected as advance ticket sales in the accompanying balance
sheets. Promotion revenues represent the Company's share of performance
operating results where the Company serves as promoter.
F-28
<PAGE>
Receivables include amounts due from shows which the Company acts as the
promoter, advances to shows for start-up costs which will be repaid from profit
distributions, and amounts due from theaters for ticket sales. The Company
provides an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on a monthly
review of the outstanding receivables and evaluation of their collectibility. At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, no allowances were recorded.
A substantial portion of the Company's revenues are derived from the promotion
of live theater in Salt Lake City, Utah and Vancouver and Calgary, Canada.
Changes in the entertainment preferences of the general populations could affect
the Company's future revenues.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has elected S Corporation status for Federal income tax reporting.
Accordingly, the stockholders include their proportionate share of the Company's
income in their respective tax returns.
Pro forma income taxes represent the estimated tax provision, at 39%, which
would have been recorded had the Company been a taxable entity for all periods
presented.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amount of accounts receivable,
other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair
value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company has no significant off balance sheet concentration of credit risk.
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). The
impact of adopting SFAS 121 in 1996 was immaterial.
(2) MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
- - - ---------------------------------------
Marketable securities at December 31, 1996 and 1995, represent U.S. Treasury
Bills with maturities of less than seven months. The U.S. Treasury Bills had an
interest rate of 5.4% in 1996 and 4.75% in 1995. The treasury bills were valued
at year-end by subtracting the amortized discount from their face value.

=========== ===========
</TABLE>
(4) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
- - - ---------------------------------------
The Company has a qualified profit sharing plan for the employees. Contributions
to the plan are determined by the Board of Directors each year, and are limited
to an amount not to exceed 15% of eligible compensation paid to participants for
the year. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after one year if
they are over 21 and work at least 1,000 hours each year. The Company made
contributions to the plan of $59,222, $53,408 and $35,983 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
The Company does not currently provide any other post employment or retirement
benefits.
(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
- - - ---------------------------------------
In the normal course of its business, the Company conducts business with certain
stockholders and their respective affiliates. In the opinion of management, the
transactions with related parties are equivalent to terms from unrelated
parties.
The Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease for office space with a
related stockholder. The Company is required to pay taxes, maintenance,
