Note 5.  Business Acquisition - GalaVu Entertainment Network Inc.

On September 13, 1999, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of the
10th day of September, 1999, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
GalaVu, acquired, effective as of September 13th, 1999, substantially all of the
property and assets [excluding accounts receivable] of GalaVu Entertainment Inc.
for a purchase price of $2,958,058 calculated on a discounted basis. This
acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price of $2,958,058 has been allocated to property and
equipment. The purchase price was satisfied by the issuance of 100,000 common
shares of the Company and the issuance of a promissory note [the "Note"]. The
Note is secured by a general security interest in all of GalaVu's present and
after-acquired assets. The Note is payable in cash or in common shares of the
Company annually, for the term consisting of each of the next five fiscal years
in an amount equal to 50% of the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization of GalaVu for the immediately preceding annual period. Pursuant
to the provisions of the Note, the minimum amount to be received by the holder
of the Note is as follows: fiscal 2001 - $300,000, fiscal 2002 - $500,000,
fiscal 2003 - $750,000, fiscal 2004 - $875,000 and fiscal 2005 - $875,000.

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.

General

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NTNIN, currently provides its
products and services through nine 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 fulfillment 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 wholly-owned subsidiary
Viewer Services, which was created to assume the inbound telemarketing and
product fulfillment services required by Canadian television broadcasters. The
eighth unit is Interlynx, which designs and develops web-based training
programs. The ninth unit is GalaVu, which delivers Pay-TV and movies to small to
medium sized hotels.

Highlights of the Three Months Ended November 30, 1999

On September 13, 1999, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of the
10th day of September, 1999, Networks North Inc., through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, GalaVu Entertainment Network Inc., acquired, effective as of
September 13th, 1999, substantially all of the property and assets (excluding
accounts receivable) of GalaVu Entertainment Inc.

During the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter, Magic Lantern Communications Ltd.
fulfilled a contract to provide over 245 hours of educational programming to
Canada's national educational television specialty channel, Canadian Learning
Television.

Results of Operations for the Three Months ended November 30, 1999

The Company's total revenues for the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter were $5,535,596,
compared to $3,636,117 for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter, an increase of
$1,899,479 or 52.2%. The major factor impacting the revenue increase was the
addition of GalaVu to the company. GalaVu's revenue for the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter was $1,836,700 or 96.7% of the total increase.
<PAGE>

Total cost of sales for the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter were $1,807,190, compared
to $1,234,496 for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter, an increase of $572,694 or
46.4%. The increase is commensurate with the increased sales levels experienced
above. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales decreased in the 2000 First
Fiscal Quarter to 32.6% from 34% in the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter were $2,587,398, compared to $1,731,046 for the 1999 First Fiscal
Quarter, an increase of $856,352 or 49.5%. As a percentage of the Company's
total revenues, such expenses decreased to 46.7% for the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter from 47.6% for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter. The increase was caused
mainly by the addition of GalaVu, which accounted for $605,200 of the increase.
In addition there was an increase due to increased staffing and salaries,
primarily in the development of Interlynx's Profis software.

Interest and bank charges for the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter were $80,179,
compared to $43,025 for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter, an increase of $37,154.
The increase was the result of increased debt arising from the purchase of
GalaVu in the First Fiscal Quarter. As a percentage of the Company's total
revenues, interest and bank charges increased to 1.4% for the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter from 1.2% for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter.

Total depreciation and amortization expense for the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter
was $499,477, compared to $346,182 for the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter, an
increase of $153,295 or 44.3%. This increase was the result of additional
depreciation on fixed assets added in 2000 and depreciation on the newly
acquired assets of GalaVu of $168,135.

A provision of income taxes of $298,458 was recorded in the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter compared with a provision for income taxes of $103,000 for the 1999
First Fiscal Quarter, a change of $195,458. As the tax provision for the Company
is based solely on the taxable income of NTNIN and GalaVu, it is unaffected by
losses experienced in other divisions. For this reason, the tax provision is
reflective of the income incurred by NTNIN and GalaVu in the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter but is not decreased by the losses incurred by the other companies.

The minority interest share in losses for the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter was
$4,253. This is compared to the minority interest share in losses for the 1999
First Fiscal Quarter of $25,698, an overall change of $21,444. The minority
interest share of losses results from the losses incurred by Sonoptic in the
2000 First Fiscal Quarter. In addition there is no longer a minority interest in
Interlynx as the remaining ownership was purchased in Fiscal 1999. Interlynx
posted a minority interest loss in the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter.

As a result of all of the above, the net income for the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter was $262,607, compared to net income of $190,951 for the 1999 First
Fiscal Quarter, an increase of $71,756. In summary, the 2000 First Fiscal
Quarter income increase over the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter income resulted
primarily from the addition of GalaVu to the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At November 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $4,138,239, an increase
of $101,179 from working capital of $4,037,060 at August 31, 1999.
<PAGE>

For the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter, the Company had a net decrease of cash of
$1,444,692 compared to a net increase of $187,023 in the 1999 First Fiscal
Quarter.

Cash used by operating activities for the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter was
$1,079,902, compared to $447,306 provided by operating activities in the 1999
First Fiscal Quarter. In 2000, the major items that contributed to cash being
provided by operating activities were as follows: net income with non-cash
expenses added back of $805,353, decreases in income taxes receivable and
inventory of $157,464 and $13,441 respectively; and increases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable of $685,912 and
$133,542 respectively. The major uses of operating funds included increases in
accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $2,626,013 and $248,728
respectively. These changes primarily relate to the inclusion of GalaVu results
in Fiscal 2000. In 1999, the major sources that contributed to cash being
provided by operating activities were net income with non-cash expenses added
back of $550,752, a decrease in inventory of $114,993 and an increase in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable of $140,382
and $67,170 respectively. These sources were somewhat offset by increases in
accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $170,940 and $298,492 respectively.

Cash used in investing activities in the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter was $374,757,
compared to the $246,835 used in investing activities in the 1999 First Fiscal
Quarter.

Cash provided by financing activities in the 2000 First Fiscal Quarter was
$9,967, compared to the $13,448 used in the 1999 First Fiscal Quarter. In 2000,
cash was provided by long-term debt arising from the purchase of GalaVu offset
by repayment of other debt. In 1999, cash was used in the repayment of notes
payable and bank debt, totalling $13,448.

Management believes that the Company's working capital position and current
borrowings provide the necessary liquidity, on both a short and long term basis,
for its planned activities. Additional external financing will not be required
for its operating activities during the year ending August 31, 2000 (the "2000
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, 1999 and 1998 and
inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's
operations or financial position during the 2000 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.
<PAGE>

Year 2000 Compliance

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.

The Company had undertaken various initiatives intended to ensure that its
computer equipment and software will function properly with respect to dates in
the year 2000 and thereafter. For this purpose the term "computer equipment and
software" includes systems that are commonly thought of as information
technology ("IT") systems. Non-IT systems refers to other miscellaneous systems,
not thought of as IT systems, such as alarm systems and fax machines. In
addition, the Company had been determining the extent to which the systems of
third parties with whom the Company has significant relationships may be
vulnerable to year 2000 issues and what impact, if any, these year 2000 issues
would have had on the Company. As part of these assessments, a compliance plan,
which included the formation of a steering committee and a timetable for
identifying, evaluating, resolving and testing its year 2000 issues, was
developed.

The timetable provided for the Company's completion of its remediation of any
year 2000 issues by the end of September 1999. This target has been met. Costs
for systems maintenance and modification were expensed as incurred while
spending for new hardware, software or equipment has been capitalized and will
be depreciated over the assets' useful lives. The Company has funded its year
2000 expenditures out of its cash flows from operations. The Company has not
encountered any year 2000 compliance problems.
