Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Introduction

The financial statements of the Company and the information contained in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations are expressed in Canadian dollars ("Cdn$"). For the convenience of
the reader, in this Management's Discussion and Analysis, certain financial
amounts are also given in U.S. dollars ("US$"), converted at the Noon Buying
Rate in effect at the end of the period to which the amount relates, or the
exchange rate on the date specified herein. The Noon Buying Rates for November
30, 1998 and November 30, 1997 were Cdn$1.5237 and Cdn$1.4242 per US$1.00,
respectively. As the Noon Buying Rate fluctuates daily, financial comparisons
between periods expressed in U.S. dollars do not accurately reflect the true
difference in the Company's financial position or results of operations between
periods. Accordingly, the comparisons between periods presented below, both in
dollar amounts and as percentages from prior periods, are expressed in Canadian
dollars only.

General

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NTNIN, currently provides its
products and services through eight business units or subsidiaries. Of these,
two are considered to be the traditional core of the Company's business, that
is, directly related to multi-player interactive entertainment programs. The two
traditional core business units are the Hospitality Group ("Hospitality") and
the Corporate Products Group ("Corporate"). Five units, comprising the "Magic
Lantern Group", are (i) NTNIN's wholly-owned subsidiary Magic, which markets and
distributes an exclusively licensed library of educational video titles to
schools, school boards and Ministries of Education across Canada, (ii) Magic's
wholly-owned subsidiary Custom Video, which provides video dubbing and
conversion services, (iii) Custom Video's wholly-owned subsidiary BCLC, which
has traditionally operated under an exclusive arrangement with the British
Columbia Ministry of Education to provide marketing and fulfilment services for
educational video titles in the British Columbia school system, (iv) Magic's 75%
owned subsidiary Sonoptic, which operates a digital video facility that converts
analog video to digital video formats, and (v) Magic's 50% owned joint venture
Viewer Services, which was created to assume the inbound telemarketing and
product fulfilment services required by Canadian television broadcasters. The
eighth unit is Interlynx, which designs and develops educational and corporate
multimedia, web-based training programs, CD-ROMs and web sites.

Highlights of the Three Months Ended November 30, 1998

            During the first quarter, Magic launched a brand loyalty program
with Campbell's Soup aimed at over 12,000 Canadian schools. This program
represents revenues of in excess of $Cdn300,000 over three years.

            NTNIN signed three new sponsors to the NTN Entertainment Network
during the quarter. One of these was Universal Studios with its initial
marketing program surrounding the release of the movie Psycho. The Toronto Sun
newspaper sponsored a new sports challenge game on the Network. The third new
sponsor was Dyson Oil, manufacturers of Synergyn synthetic oil.
<PAGE>

            Interlynx developed web-based training software for a major Canadian
financial institution in the last quarter of 1998. During the first quarter of
Fiscal 1999, Interlynx has modified this product to be a generic software that 
is now being marketed to other potential customers.

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended November 30, 1998

            The Company's total revenues for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter were
Cdn$3,636,117 (US$2,386,373), compared to Cdn$3,737,114 (US$2,624,009) for the
1998 First Fiscal Quarter, a decrease of Cdn$100,997 or 2.7%. This decrease was
primarily the result of a weakened worldwide market for CD-ROMs resulting in
decreased revenues for Interlynx as well as a decrease in software sales by
Magic.

            Total cost of sales for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter was
Cdn$1,234,496 (US$810,196), compared to Cdn$1,436,020 (US$1,008,299) for the
1998 First Fiscal Quarter, a decrease of Cdn$201,524 or 14.0%. This decrease was
caused primarily by reducing production costs for CD-ROMs as a result of weaker
markets and a reduction in software purchases due to reduced software sales. As
a percentage of the Company's total revenues, cost of sales decreased to 34.0%
for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter from 38.4% for the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter.

            Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1999
First Fiscal Quarter were Cdn$1,731,046 (US$1,136,081), compared to
Cdn$1,609,775 (US$1,130,301) for the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter, an increase of
Cdn$121,271 or 7.5%. This increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses resulted from greater expenditures in the sales and marketing efforts
of NTNIN. In addition the 1998 selling, general and administrative expenses
include a foreign exchange gain of Cdn$81,541. As a percentage of the Company's
total revenues, such expenses increased to 47.6% for the 1999 First Fiscal
Quarter from 43.1% for the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter.

            Interest expense for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter was Cdn$43,025
(US$28,237), compared to Cdn$25,122 (US$17,639) for the 1998 First Fiscal
Quarter, an increase of Cdn$17,903 or 71.3%. This increase was as a result of
financing the purchase of the land and building at 10 Meteor Drive with bank
debt. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, interest expense
increased to 1.2% for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter from 0.7% for the 1998 First
Fiscal Quarter.

            Depreciation and amortization expenses for the 1999 First Fiscal
Quarter were Cdn$346,182 (US$227,198), compared to Cdn$274,402 (US$192,671) for
the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter, an increase of Cdn$71,780 or 26.2%. This increase
was the result of increased depreciation on rental and office equipment and
furniture and fixtures added during the period. Depreciation on the building
located at 10 Meteor Drive, which was acquired in April 1998, also contributed
to the increase. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, such expenses
increased to 9.5% for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter from 7.3% for the 1998 First
Fiscal Quarter.

            The minority interest share in losses for the 1999 First Fiscal
Quarter was Cdn$25,698 (US$16,866). This is compared to the minority interest
share in profits for the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter of Cdn$63,778 (US$44,781), an
overall decrease of Cdn$89,476 or 140.3%. As a percentage of the Company's total
revenues, the minority interest loss was 0.7% for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter.
<PAGE>

            As a result of all of the above, net income for the 1999 First
Fiscal Quarter was Cdn$190,951 (US$125,321), compared to Cdn$205,057
(US$143,980) for the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter, a decrease of Cdn$14,106 or
6.9%. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, net income decreased to
5.3% for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter from 5.5% for the 1998 First Fiscal
Quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At November 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of Cdn$4,358,464
(US$2,860,448), an increase of Cdn$284,629 from working capital of Cdn$4,073,835
(US$2,591,168) at August 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to cash
provided by operating activities.

For the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter, the Company had a net increase in cash flow
of Cdn$187,023 (US$122,743), compared to a net decrease of Cdn$636,813
(US$447,137) in the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter.

Cash provided by operating activities for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter was
Cdn$447,306 (US$293,566), compared to the Cdn$201,668 (US$141,601) provided by
operating activities in the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter. In 1999, the major
sources that contributed to cash being provided by operating activities were net
income of Cdn$550,752, decreases in short-term investments and inventory of
Cdn$43,441 and Cdn$114,993 respectively, and increases in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities and income taxes payable of Cdn$140,382 and Cdn$67,170
respectively. These sources were somewhat mitigated by increases in accounts
receivable and prepaid expenses of Cdn$170,940 and Cdn$298,492 respectively. In
1998, the major sources that contributed to cash being provided by operating
activities were net income of Cdn$492,878, decreases in inventory and prepaid
expenses of Cdn$312,291 and Cdn$25,145 respectively, and increases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable of Cdn$469,714 and
Cdn$2,567 respectively. These sources were somewhat offset by increases in
short-term investments and accounts receivable of Cdn$89,619 and Cdn$864,883
respectively, and a decrease in deferred revenue of Cdn$146,425.

Cash used in investing activities in the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter was
Cdn$246,835 (US$161,997), compared to the Cdn$843,462 (US$592,235) used in
investing activities in the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter. In 1999, cash was used in
the purchase of property and equipment. Cash was used in the comparable prior
period for the purchase of property and equipment and the acquisition of
Interlynx.

Cash used in financing activities in the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter was
Cdn$13,448 (US$8,826), compared to the Cdn$4,981 (US$3,497) provided by
financing activities in the 1998 First Fiscal Quarter. In 1999, cash was used to
meet scheduled debt principal repayments. In 1998, financing totaling
Cdn$324,311 was obtained, the majority of which was through the issuance of
common shares (Cdn$247,500). This cash was then used in the repayment of notes
payable and to meet scheduled debt principal repayments, which totaled
Cdn$319,330.

Management believes that the Company's working capital position provides the
necessary liquidity, on both a short and long term basis, for its planned
activities and that additional external financing will not be required for its
operating activities during the year ending August 31, 1999 (the "1999 Fiscal
Year"). However, any changes in such plans may require the Company to seek
outside financing. No arrangements are presently in place for outside financing
should the need arise.

Inflation

The rate of inflation has had little impact on the Company's operations or
financial position during the three months ended November 30, 1998, and
inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's
operations or financial position during the 1999 Fiscal Year.

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

Year 2000

      The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two
digits, rather than four, to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may
recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or some other date, resulting in errors when
information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems
may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something
other than a date. The effects of the Year 2000 Issue may be experienced before,
on, or after January 1, 2000, and if not addressed, the impact on operations and
financial reporting may range from minor errors to significant systems failure,
which could affect an entity's ability to conduct normal business operations. It
is not possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 Issue affecting
the entity, including those relating to the efforts of customers, suppliers, or
other third parties, will be fully resolved.
