NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited, but
in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the
information included therein in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with
instructions to Form 10Q and rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The accompanying financial should be read in
conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and related
footnotes thereto which are incorporated by reference in Form 10K
for the year ended September 30, 1996.
The results of operations for the three month period ended December
31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
The balance sheets are presented in an unclassified format in
accordance with FAS No. 53.
As of December 31, 1996 the Company had $22,830 available to meet
operating requirements. In addition, it had net accounts
receivable of $79,635. This cash position is not adequate to meet
the Company's operational needs. The Company's Chairman and
President continue to accrue their salaries and to receive cash
compensation only based on their determination that there are
adequate funds available. If the Chairman and President change
their position and demand full payment, the Company will be unable
to satisfy these liabilities.
The Company, with respect to its note payable to PEL, was unable to
meet its $50,000 principal payment at December 31, 1995 and
accordingly is in default under the terms of its agreement with
Peregrine Entertainment, Ltd. (See Note 2.)
The Company's Board of Directors, on March 7, 1996, authorized a
reverse stock split of 1 for 40 of its issued and outstanding
common stock reducing the outstanding shares from 54,154,000 to
1,353,716. The reverse became effective for stockholders of record
on March 22, 1996. In addition, the authorized number of shares
was reduced from 250,000,000 to 25,000,000. On May 28, 1996, the
Company issued to a public relations firm 20,000 restricted shares
7
<PAGE>
MARQUEE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

of its common stock in lieu of fees for May and June 1996. On
September 18, 1996 the Company issued to another public relations
firm 25,000 free trading shares of its common stock in lieu of fees
and options to purchase 105,000 shares at $1.00 per share and
130,000 shares at $1.50 per share. As of December 31, 1996, none
of the options were exercised and there were 1,398,716 shares of
the Company's common stock outstanding. In connection with the
25,000 free trading stock and 235,000 stock option the Company
filed a Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that
became effective September 13, 1996.
On March 31, 1996, the Company entered into two 8% Convertible
Debentures due March 31, 1999, one in favor of Harold Brown in the
principal amount of $239,450 and the other in favor of Ralph Smith
in the principal amount of $201,807. The Debentures were issued as
of April 1, 1996 as evidence of past due salary owing to Messrs.
Brown and Smith through March 31, 1996. The Debentures are
convertible, in whole or in part, into common stock of the Company
at any time by delivery of written notice. The Conversion Price is
$0.25 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain changes in the
capital stock of the Company. The Company has the right to call
the Debentures for prepayment at any time, and the right to convert
shall expire upon the call date.
During the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company prepared a
private placement memorandum in an attempt to raise from $250,000
to $750,000 with a 20% override provision. The use of this funding
was for the acquisition of two private companies that the Company
had letters of intent to acquire. One was a low power television
station located in Palmdale, California and the other was a film
producer and distributor of educational and specialty film product.
As of December 31, 1996, these letters of intent to acquire these
companies have expired due to the Company's inability to raise the
minimum of $250,000 in the private placement. Approximately
$70,000 had been raised, but since this amount did not reach the
minimum level necessary, all monies have been returned to the
individual investors. Accordingly, the Company is not making any
further attempt, at this time, to acquire these companies.
Sales activity has continued and the Company's personnel is
negotiating some major market licenses. There can be no assurance
of consummating these negotiations at this time.

Note 1 - cont...
The revenue from the library of films currently owned by the
Company were not adequate in fiscal 1996 to meet the expenses of
the Company and it is not anticipated that it will be adequate in
the long term. Management believes that the Company must acquire
additional motion pictures for distribution and is currently
seeking to make such acquisitions. However, there can be no
assurance as to the Company's ability to find such additional
motion pictures on terms favorable to the Company or, if found, as
to the Company's ability to finance the acquisition of any such
pictures, given the limited funds available to the Company and the
commercial lending and economic climate in general.
Management believes that with maintaining reductions in operational
costs, and increased sales activity from the current library and
new acquired motion pictures, the Company will be able to continue
as a going concern. However, at this time, there can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to continue as a going
concern.
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Marquee Entertainment, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiary Delta-Gamma Film Distribution. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation and no adjustments with respect to the uncertainty
regarding going concern basis have been made.
Film Revenue Recognition:
Revenues from television license agreements are recognized as each
film becomes available for telecasting by the licensee. Revenues
from other contractual agreements are recognized when the films
delivered are free of any conflicting licenses in respective
territory. Funds received prior to revenue recognition are
recognized as deferred income.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable consist of the unpaid portion of license
agreements received from customers on a worldwide basis. The
Company's management performs credit evaluations of all customers

and reserves for any potential credit losses. The standard
procedure when entering into a licensing agreement requires 20%
payment upon signing and the 80% balance to be paid prior to
delivery of films licensed. Accordingly, uncollected amounts are
not a significant problem for the Company.
Furniture and Fixtures:
Depreciation of furniture and fixtures is being provided by
utilization of the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lines of the assets which range from 3 to 5 years.
Film Costs and Amortization:
As of September 30, 1994 the Company's film inventory was fully
amortized.
Note 2 - Notes Payable:
On March 12, 1991 the Company concluded an Acquisition Agreement
with Peregrine Entertainment, Ltd. (PEL) and its subsidiaries
resulting in the acquisition of certain assets, including 29 made-
for-television motion pictures. The purchase price for these
assets consisted of $475,000 in cash and $175,000 paid by the
delivery of three promissory notes bearing interest of 10% and due
over a period of four years. The balance of $50,000 at December
31, 1996, which was due December 31, 1995, has not been paid and is
therefore in default. At the request of PEL interest on the note
has been paid through December 31, 1996.
Note 3 - Net Loss Per Share:
Net loss per share is not computed using common stock equivalents
at December 31, 1996 and 1995 because they would be antidilutive.
Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares retroactively adjusted for the 1 for 40 reverse stock split
for the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as
follows:
1996 1,398,716

If the net loss carryforward were to be realized, a deferred tax
asset of approximately $1,350,000 would be set forth. However, due
to the unlikely realization of such an asset, a valuation reserve
of $1,350,000 would be required and no benefit would be recorded
until the loss carryforward is realized.

Effective April 30, 1993 the Company's shareholders adopted the
1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan. No further options will be
granted under the 1986 plan. Under the previous plan options were
granted to purchase 54,375 shares during fiscal year 1992; none
have been exercised, 54,375 have been terminated as of September
30, 1996.
The 1993 Incentive Plan is administered by the Board of Directors
of the Company, or a Committee of not less than two members
thereof, which, except as set forth below with respect to the
Directors themselves, has the authority to determine the persons to
whom the options may be granted, the number of shares to be covered
by each option, the time or times at which the options may be
granted or exercised and, for the most part, the terms and
provisions of the options. Under the 1993 Incentive Plan, the
option exercise price may not be less than 100% (or 110% if the
optionee owns 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of
the Company) of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant; the exercise price of options granted to Officers
and Directors will be 100%of fair market value on the date of
grant, or 110% if the Officer or Director owns 10% or more of the
outstanding voting securities of the Company. No option under the
1993 Incentive Plan may be exercised (i) within one year of the
date of grant, but must be exercisable at the rate of at least 20%
per year over five years from the date of grant, or (ii) more than
ten years from the date of grant except that options granted to

optionees owning 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities
of the Company may not be exercised more than five years from the
date of grant.
On October 30th of each year while the 1993 Incentive Plan is in
effect, all eligible Directors of the Company will receive options
to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock if they served as a
Director during the previous fiscal year (or a pro-ratable amount
if they served for less than all of the fiscal year) which shall
expire five years from the date of grant. Options granted to
Directors will be exercisable at the rate of 50% in each of the
second and third years from the date of grant on a cumulative
basis. All grants of options to Directors under the 1993 Incentive
Plan will be automatic without any discretion on the part of the
Board or the Committee, as the case may be, with respect to the
grantee, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to options to
be granted, the term of the options, and the exercise price of the
options.
The 1993 Incentive Plan provides for the granting of incentive
stock options to purchase a maximum of 625,000 shares. The 1993
Incentive Plan limits the percentage of the total number of options
which may be granted to Officers and Directors to 50% or 312,500
shares.
The 1993 Incentive Plan provides that no options shall be granted
thereunder after March 7, 2003. The Board of Directors may amend,
suspend or terminate the 1993 Incentive Plan at any time.
1993 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
Shareholders adopted the Marquee Entertainment 1993 Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan ("1993 Non-Qualified Plan") on April 30, 1993.The
1993 Non-Qualified Plan is administered by the Board of Directors
of the Company, or a committee of not less than two members
thereof, which, except as set forth below with respect to the
Directors themselves, has the authority to determine the persons to
whom the options may be granted, the number of shares to be covered
by each option, the time or times at which the options may be
granted or exercised and, for the most part, the terms and
provisions of the options. Under the 1993 Non-Qualified Plan, the
exercise price may not be less than 85% (or 110% if the optionee
owns 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company) of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
of grant; the exercise price of options granted to Officers and

Directors will be 100% of the fair market value on the date of
grant, or 110% if the Officer or Director owns 10% or more of the

1993 Non-Qualified Plan cannot be exercised within one year or
later than five years from the date of grant and must be
exercisable at the rate of 50% in each of the second and third
years from the date of grant on a cumulative basis.
Upon their election as a Director and on October 30th of each
subsequent year while in the 1993 Non-Qualified Plan is in effect,
all Directors (including employee-Directors) of the Company will
receive options to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock if they
served as a Director during the previous fiscal year (or a pro-
ratable amount if they served for less than all of the fiscal year)
which shall expire five years from the date of grant. All grants
of options to Directors under the 1993 Non-Qualified Plan will be
automatic without any discretion on the part of the Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, with respect to the grantee, the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to options to be granted,
the term of the options, and the exercise price of the options.
The 1993 Non-Qualified Plan provides for the granting of non-

The 1993 Non-Qualified Plan limits the percentage of the total
number of options which may be granted to Officers and Directors to

For the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company had a
loss of $127,218. The Company's net worth deficit increased to
$971.147. The Company's cash position decreased by $5,991 since
September 30, 1996.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenue for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 was
$59,173, an increase of $9,219, or 18%, as compared to the three
month period ended December 31, 1995. This increase was due to an
increase in licenses during the period. Deferred income increased
by $55,001 to $245,393 representing income to be recognized in
future periods.
Operating expense for the three month period ended December 31,
1996 was $16,713, an increase of $11,386 as compared to the same
period in the prior year. There were offsetting factors that
caused this increase: print cost increased by $14,000 due to the
conversion expense in making new NTSC masters and there was a
decrease in depreciation expense of $3,000 as most of the Company's
furniture and fixtures have been fully depreciated.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month
period ended December 31, 1996 were $159,925, an increase of
$11,118, or 7%, as compared to the three month period ended
December 31, 1995. This increase was due to certain offsetting
factors between the periods, such as an increase in salaries and
employee benefits of $4,500 due to one employee salary increase and
higher payroll tax; professional fees increased by $1,100 due to an
increase in audit cost; messenger/courier expense increased by
$1,100 due to an increase in overnight mailings overseas; auto
expense increased by $3,300 due to a timing difference resulting in
a change in an auto insurance carrier; postage expense increased
$1,000 due to an increase in marketing activity and related
mailings; car lease expense decreased by $2,900 due to new car
leases at lesser cost; dues and subscription expense increased by
$700 due to ordering certain marketing publications; telephone
expense increased by $400 due to increased activity; insurance
expense increased by $1,400 due to timing difference in payment of
life insurance premium for one employee.

ITEM 2. (Continued)
Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had $22,830 available to meet
operating requirements. In addition, it had net accounts
receivable of $79,635. This cash position is not adequate to meet
the Company's operational needs.
The Company is unable to satisfy the principal payment of $50,000
due in relation to the PPG films, with extension, on February 22,
1996. However, the Company intends to pay this obligation as soon
as possible and no action has been taken by the lender at this
time. The Company has no other significant immediate liabilities
that it is unable to satisfy.
Sales activity on the Company's owned library of films is
continuing to be relicensed as territories become available and the
Company's personnel is negotiating some major market licenses.
There can be no assurance of consummating these negotiations at
this time.
The revenues from the library of films currently owned by the
Company were not adequate in fiscal 1996 to meet the expenses of
the Company and it is not anticipated that they will be adequate in
the long term. Management believes that the Company must acquire
additional motion pictures for distribution and is currently
seeking to make such acquisitions. However, there can be no
assurance as to the Company's ability to find such additional
motion pictures on terms favorable to the Company or, if found, as
to the Company's ability to finance the acquisition of any such
pictures, given the limited funds available to the Company and the
commercial lending and economic climate in general.
Management believes that with maintaining reductions in operational
costs, and continuing sales activity from the current library and
new acquired motion pictures, the Company will be able to continue
as a going concern. However, at this time, there can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to continue as a going
concern.
