NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - COMMENTS
- -----------------
First Colonial Ventures, Ltd. ("FCVL" or "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Utah on March 25, 1985, for the purpose of acquiring
interests in various business opportunities.
On January 10, 1995, FCVL elected to become an Investment Company pursuant
to the Investment Company Act of 1940. On June 27, 1995, FCVL elected to become
a "Business Development Company" (BDC), as that term is defined in the Small
Business Investment Incentive Act of 1980, which Act is an amendment to the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The election resulted in FCVL becoming a
specialized type of investment company. Consistent with this change in type of
business entity, the Company changed its method of financial reporting and
valuation of investments from cost to fair value.
The financial statements include only the accounts of FCVL because,
pursuant to industry practice, an investee of a business development company is
not consolidated unless such investee is a small business investment company or
a wholly-owned business development company. The consolidated financial
statements for 1994 and prior included the accounts of FCVL and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of
the management of the Registrant, contain all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position at
March 31, 1998, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1998, and the changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of
the Registrant believes that the information presented therein is not
misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1998, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the
full year ending December 31, 1998.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY DEBT:
- ----------------------------
Related party debt owing to Contemporary Resources, Inc. increased by
$105,020 during the three months ended March 31, 1998 due to working capital
needed by Acclaim Studios.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition - March 31, 1998
- ------------------------------------
The Registrant's investments at March 31, 1998 were substantially the same
as at December 31, 1997, with the exception of advances to STS Communications, a
Television production company. Overall, liabilities increased due to the
inability of the Company to obtain working capital.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Registrant's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
substantially greater than the loss for the same period in the prior year due to
increased administrative expenses associated with operating the Acclaim
businesses and due to the write-off as realized losses of all advances made to
Acclaim.
SIGNATURES
----------
In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Registrant
caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized.
