Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The financial statements of the Company and the information in this analysis
include the operations of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, NTN Interactive
Network Inc.


The financial statements of the Company are expressed in Canadian Dollars. The
information contained in this analysis is expressed in both Canadian and United
States Dollars, the conversion rate being Cdn $1.3616 per US$1.00 for fiscal
1996 and 1.3794 per US$1.00 for fiscal 1995.

Highlights of the Three Months ending May 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------



During the quarter, the Company signed an agreement with TSN The Sports Network,
Canada's leading sports broadcaster, to bring live NTN interactive sports
programming and sports trivia games to TSN's World Wide Web site. In addition
the Company's Hospitality Network launched two new interactive programs -
including Blue Jays 20th Anniversary Trivia (sponsored by the Toronto Blue Jays
Baseball Club). At May 31, 1996, there were 473 installed sites, an increase of
20 sites over the previous quarter.

The Company's Corporate Products group delivered interactive programmes during
the quarter for Coca Cola, to tie in with their Olympics involvement; for the
Invest in Kids Foundation at a black tie fundraising event for 500 of Toronto's
corporate elite; for General Motors Quebec, Trizec, and America OnLine Canada.

In a subsequent event, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary NTN Interactive
Network Inc. entered into a Letter of Intent on June 3, 1996 to acquire 100% of
the shares of Magic Lantern Communications Ltd. for a total consideration of Cdn
$2,350,000 (US$1,725,911) made up of a combination of stock and cash. Magic
Lantern is Canada's leading distributor of educational video programming and is
currently collaborating with New Brunswick Telephone to develop Educational
Video-on-Demand in New Brunswick's pioneering interactive television initiative.
Magic Lantern has also established a state-of-the-art centre of encoding and
repurposing analog video content into digital MPEG format.


Results of Operations in the First Three Quarters
- ---------------------------------------------------------


During the nine months ended May 31, 1996, the Company's revenues totaled Cdn
$4,732,916 (US$3,475,996), an increase of Cdn $1,408,872 (US$1,034,718) or 42.4%
from the same period in 1995. The primary contributor to the increase in
revenues was the addition of 71 Hospital sites during the period. The
Hospitality Network numbered 473 live and installed sites at May 31, 1996, 



<PAGE>


up from 376 a year earlier.


Cost of sales of Cdn $1,841,773 (US$1,352,653) in the first nine months
increased Cdn $403,544 (US$296,375) or 28.1% from Cdn $1,438,229 (US$1,042,648).
The major contributing factor to this increase was increased broadcast fees
which are directly related to the number of hospitality sites.

General and administrative expenses increased Cdn $593,769 (US$436,082) or 37.8%
over the same period last year. The major factors causing this increase included
a Cdn $387,704 (US$284,741) increase in salaries due to additions of personnel
to meet the demands of the Company's growth. Advertising and promotion
expenditures increased Cdn $102,664 (US$75,400) due primarily to the development
of a frequent player program. Other increases in general and administrative
expenses result from increased business volumes reflected in the Company's
increased revenues.

The unrealized foreign exchange gain for the first three quarters of fiscal 1996
was Cdn $18,008 (US$13,226) greater than the first three quarters of 1995. This
gain results primarily from fluctuations in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange
rate as it related to U.S. dollar temporary investments held by the Company.

Net income was Cdn $510,933 (US$375,245), an increase of Cdn $235,467 (or 85%)
from the first three quarters of fiscal 1995.

Results of Operations
The Third Quarter
- ---------------------------------------


During the three months ended May 31, 1996, the Company's revenues totaled Cdn
$1,647,442 (US$1,209,931), an increase of Cdn $403,782 (US$296,550) or 32% from
the same period in 1995. The primary reason for increased revenue was the
addition of 20 hospitality sites during the quarter as well as increased
sponsorship revenue.

Cost of sales of Cdn $714,173 (US$524,510) in the third quarter increased Cdn
$215,679 (US$158,401) or 43.3% from Cdn $498,494 (US$361,385). The major
contributing factors to the increase in cost of sales includes increased
broadcast fees which are directly related to the number of hospitality sites as
well as an increase in depreciation expense on an increased rental equipment
base.

General and administrative expenses of Cdn $717,574 (US$527,008) increased Cdn
$183,447 (US$134,729) or 34.3% from Cdn $534,127 (US$387,217). The major factors
causing this increase include a Cdn $108,193 (US$79,460) increase in salaries
due to the addition of personnel to meet the demands of the company's growth.
Advertising and promotion expense increased Cdn $22,695 (US$16,668) due to
increased expenditures on point of sales materials and the costs associated with
the frequent player program. Other increases in general and administrative
expenses result from the Company's increased business volumes.

financing activities provided Cdn $4,331,694 (US$3,140,274), representing the
proceeds from issuing common shares of Cdn $4,315,365 (US$3,131,160).

Investing activities used cash in both the first three quarters of 1996 (Cdn
$608,878; US$447,178) and 1995 (Cdn $1,100,327; US$797,685). Cash used in the
first three quarters of 1996 was less than in 1995 because the land and building
owned by the company was purchased in the first quarter of 1995. There have been
no similar transactions in fiscal 1996.

The Company believes that its working capital position provides the liquidity,
on both a long and short term basis, required for its growth strategy.

The Company is substantially dependent on the continued existence of NTN
Communications, Inc. Based on published reports on its first quarter ended March
31, 1996, the consolidated revenues for NTN Communications, Inc. increased 44%
to US$8,275,000 from US$5,738,000 for the same period last year. NTN
Communications, Inc. reported first quarter consolidated profit of US$273,000 as
compared to a loss of US$1,897,000 in the first quarter in 1995. NTN
Communications, Inc. had current assets of US$22,337,000 and shareholders'
equity of US$31,379,000 as at March 31, 1996.

Inflation
- ----------------------------


The rate of inflation has had little impact on the Company's results of
operations and is not expected to have a significant impact on continuing
operations.

The Company pays a number of its suppliers in US dollars. Therefore fluctuations
in the value of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar will have an impact on
gross profit as well as the net income of the Company. If the value of the
Canadian dollar falls against the US dollar, the cost of sales of the Company
will increase, thereby reducing gross profit and net income. Conversely, if the
value of the Canadian dollar rises against the US dollar, gross profit and net
income will increase.
