PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ----------------
Background of the Company
- -------------------------
Marquee Entertainment, Inc., formerly Lway Productions, (the
"Company") was incorporated on June 26, 1979, as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Exacta, Inc. ("Exacta") under the laws of the State
of Nevada and was inactive from 1981 until February 1987 when it
completed a public offering of its common stock. Exacta retained
a 50% ownership in the outstanding shares of the Company after the
public offering. In December 1987, Exacta transferred its shares
of Common Stock in the Company to an affiliated company, Peregrine
Entertainment, Ltd. ("PEL"), formerly EMI Television. From
February, 1987 to January, 1989, the Company engaged in the
funding, as a co-producer, of the development and production of
television programming for domestic and foreign exhibition.
On November 2, 1990 the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Acquisition Agreement") with PEL and its subsidiaries to acquire,
for $650,000 and the assumption of certain liabilities,
substantially all of the assets of PEL and its subsidiaries. Among
other things the Company acquired was foreign distribution rights
in twenty nine films and certain accounts receivable from Peregrine
Producers Group ("PPG"), a PEL subsidiary. The consummation of the
Acquisition Agreement was on March 12, 1991. The Acquisition
Agreement required the payment of $475,000 in cash and the delivery
of notes for the balance of $175,000 payable over four years. A
balance of $50,000 remains outstanding on the note and is in
default. (See Item 7, Capital Resources and Liquidity.)
In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition Agreement
the Company repurchased and retired 30,000,000 shares of its common
stock owned by PEL. Concurrently, the Company sold to Mr. Harold
Brown and Mr. Ralph T. Smith, officers and directors of the
Company, 15,700,100 and 8,453,900 newly issued shares respectively,
representing an aggregate of 45% of the Company's outstanding
shares of common stock.
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
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
2
<PAGE>
and options to purchase 105,000 shares at $1.00 per share and
130,000 shares at $1.50 per share. As of September 30, 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.
The following table identifies the third parties that have been
issued the Company's common stock in lieu of cash for services:

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.
Since the consummation of the Acquisition Agreement the Company's
primary business activity has been film distribution, of the
acquired films, and the Company is no longer solely engaged in the
funding of development and production of television programming for
domestic and foreign exhibition.
Business of the Company:
- -----------------------
Film Distribution. The Company continues operating as a film
distributor, licensing the PPG films acquired from PEL in 1991.
3
<PAGE>
Licensing of the PPG Films is limited to the available foreign
territories only and since many of these territories had been
previously licensed, the Company is re-licensing these territories
when they become available.
During fiscal year 1997 the Company experienced an increase in
revenue of $229,258 as compared to fiscal year 1996. Even though
revenue increased to $469,115, it remains inadequate to sustain the
Company's operations. Although certain major territories remain
available for licensing, there can be no assurances that revenue
will increase during fiscal year 1998. Most of the rights owned by
the Company are already licensed and market conditions will dictate
the outcome as to the unlicensed territories. (see ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS for further discussion) The Company is
currently seeking to acquire additional motion pictures for
distribution. 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.
There were two customers representing greater than 10 percent of
film revenue for fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.

</TABLE>
Competition and Markets. Competition in the television and motion
picture industry is intense. There are several major film studios
and independent distribution companies with which the Company must
compete for the acquisition of distribution rights and distribution
of products.
Nearly all of the Company's competitors have far greater financial
and creative resources than the Company and this places the Company
at a competitive disadvantage in most areas.
Regulation. Television networks and stations impose restrictions
on the content of television programming. In addition, foreign
governments often restrict exhibition and/or edit the contents of
television programming. The Company has experienced no significant
impact on sales as a result of these restrictions.
Labor Relations. The Company employs three persons, two in sales
and one in administration, is not a party to any collective
bargaining agreements and believes its relationship with employees
to be excellent.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
- -------------------
The Company presently occupies approximately 3000 square feet of
office space at 9044 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, California,
pursuant to an 80 month lease, (through December 31, 1997). The
office space is located in a well maintained three-story office
building. The Company is currently looking for new office space as
a result of its lease expiration.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The Company experienced a loss of $213,923 for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1997 resulting in an increased accumulated
deficit to $1,080,160. The loss of $213,923 in 1997, although less
than the loss in 1996 of $947,309 by $733,386, reflects the
Company's films continuing diminishing revenue generating capacity.
In an effort to build the Company's revenue base, subsequent to
7
<PAGE>
September 30, 1997 on October 21, 1997 the Company made an offer
that was accepted to purchase a film post production company, Of
Sound Mind, Inc. ("OSM"). The Company filed a Form 8-K regarding
this matter on October 31, 1997 (for further information see
"Capital Resources and Liquidity" in this report).
The cash position of the Company at September 30, 1997 was $23,826,
a decrease of $4,995 as compared to September 30, 1996. Accounts
receivable at September 30, 1997 were $38,007, a decrease of
$57,484 as compared to September 30, 1996. The aging of accounts
receivable at September 30, 1997 was 29 days as compared to 144
days at September 30, 1996, a decrease of 115 days. This decrease
is due to 92% of the accounts receivable and license fees
recognized during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 fully
paid whereas only 60% were paid during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the year ended September 30, 1997, film revenue was $469,115,
an increase of $229,258 as compared to September 30, 1996. Gross
profit before selling, general and administration of $604,256 was
$431,108, an increase of $243,232 as compared to September 30,
1996. The loss of $213,923 at September 30, 1997 is due to a
continuing lack of sales to cover the Company's overhead. The
Company is continuing to negotiate licensing of certain major
territories that are or will be available during fiscal year 1998.
However, there can be no assurances that these sales will be made
or that they will be adequate to cover the total cost of operations
(for further comments see "Capital Resources and Liquidity" in this
report).
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1997 versus Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Film revenue for fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 was $469,115
representing an increase of $229,257 as compared to September 30,
1996. This increase was primarily due to one major territory,
United Kingdom, film license of $243,750, whereas during fiscal
1996 no major territories were sold.
Operating cost decreased by $13,974, or 27%, during fiscal year
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to fiscal year 1996. There
are certain offsetting factors: print cost increased by $2,000 due
to prints provided to licensees on loan at the Company's expense;
freight cost increased by $2,000 due to the higher volume of sales;
8
<PAGE>
depreciation expense decreased by $7,200 due to all fixed assets
becoming fully depreciated; and development cost decreased by
$10,000 in 1997 as one abandoned project was written off in 1996
and none in 1997.
Selling, general and administration costs decreased by $67,508 for
fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 as compared to fiscal year
ended 1996. The primary reason for the decrease was that in 1996
the Company attempted a private placement that turned out to be
unsuccessful. However, the Company still incurred the related
legal and public relations costs associated with this private
placement.
Professional fees for public relations decreased for fiscal year
1997 by $19,500 as compared to 1996 due to the private placement
costs in 1996; legal fees for fiscal year 1997 decreased by $38,000
as compared to fiscal year 1996 also due to private placement costs
in 1996; shareholder related expenses decreased by $2,500 during
fiscal year 1997 as compare to 1996 due to a need in 1996 to obtain
several shareholders lists deemed necessary during our private
placement efforts; auto lease expense decreased for fiscal year
1997 by $9,000 as compared to 1996 as a result of leases of lesser
valued automobiles; advertising and promotion expense in fiscal
year 1997 decreased by $1,700 as compared to fiscal year 1996 due
to less print and art material needed for marketing efforts; travel
and entertainment during 1997 decreased by $2,100 as compared to
1996 due to less travel; insurance expense in fiscal year 1997
decreased by $2,100 as compared to fiscal year 1996 due to lesser
premium cost on auto insurance, lesser valued cars, and reduction
in the cost of errors and omissions insurance on the Company's
films due to their age; and a decrease in bad debt expense in
fiscal year 1997 of $10,600 as compared to fiscal year 1996 due to
a write off of a note in 1996 of $25,000 offset in 1997 of a write
off of one license of $14,400 as a result of the licensee not
taking delivery of its films and non-payment. The grand total of
decrease costs in fiscal year 1997 as compared to fiscal year 1996
was $85,500. These decreases were offset by certain increases in
costs in fiscal year 1997 over 1996 as follows: salary expense
increased by $1,900 in fiscal year 1997 as compared to 1996 due to
a bonus and salary increase to one employee; accounting expense in
fiscal year 1997 increased by $5,500 over fiscal year 1996 due to
the Company refiling and restating its 1996 Form 10-K, December 31,
1996 Form 10-Q and March 31, 1997 Form 10-Q as a result of
accounting adjustments and additional financial disclosures deemed
necessary for proper reporting and to be in compliance with the
Security and Exchange Acts of 1933 and 1934 as amended; auto
expense in fiscal year 1997 increased by $3,900 over fiscal year
1996 due to one older auto needing to replace its cooling system
and a new set of tires; payroll tax increased by $1,300 in fiscal
9
<PAGE>
year 1997 over 1996 due to salary increases and a higher social
security base in 1997; postage expense increased by $1,600 during
fiscal year 1997 over fiscal year 1996 as a result of higher sales
activity; telephone expenses increased by $1,500 in fiscal year
1997 over fiscal year 1996 due to increased sales and film delivery
activity; tax expense increased by $600 due to a redevelopment tax
imposed by the city; dues and subscriptions increased by $800 due
to internet services new in 1997; and other expenses increased by
$900 during fiscal year 1997 over fiscal year 1996.
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1996 versus Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1995
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Film revenue for fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 was $239,857
representing a decrease of $210,050, or 42%, as compared to
September 30, 1995. The decline in film sales is the result of no
new product to augment the Company's aging film library.
Operating costs and film amortization decreased by $48,569, or 48%,
in fiscal year 1996 as compared to fiscal year 1995. This decrease
was due to a decrease in print cost of $21,000, a result of less
digital remastering in fiscal 1996 of the Company's films; a
decrease in depreciation expense of $7,000 in fiscal 1996 as assets
became fully depreciated; commission expense decrease by $11,000 in
fiscal 1996 as the Company only had nominal outside sales help
during the period; development cost decrease by $9,500 in fiscal
1996 as three abandoned projects were written off in fiscal 1995
and only one in fiscal 1996.
Selling, general and administration costs increased by $60,103 in
fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995. There were offsetting
factors that caused this increase in fiscal 1996; salary expense
decreased by $3,700 due to having two administrative assistants
during part of fiscal 1995 and an adjustment to payroll taxes as a
result of an over accrual of tax on Mr. Brown and Mr. Smith's gross
beyond social security wage base; professional fees increased
by$48,539 due to the legal and public relations fees incurred in
association with an attempted private placement and a Form S-8
filing; auto expense decreased by $5,000 due to fewer repairs;
copier expense decreased by $3,200 as the Company purchased the
copier after the lease ended in June of 1995; car lease expense
decreased by $2,200 due to the expiration of the old leases and the
new leases are for lesser amounts; advertising and promotion
expense decreased by $2,470 due to less sales activity; temporary
help cost decreased by $1,750 due to the Company not hiring any
additional part-time help; travel and entertainment expense
increased by $3,000 due to an increase in business lunches
associated with the Company's efforts to raise capital for
10
<PAGE>
acquisitions; insurance expense increased by $5,400 due to the cost
of an errors and omission policy; foreign remittance tax expense
decreased by $3,500 due to no sales being made subject to
remittance tax; bad debt expense increased by $25,000 due to the
Company entering into a note receivable that matured on June 20,
1996 that was not paid.
In regard to the $25,000 note receivable, it was entered into with
Four Pals Community Broadcasters, Inc. and its President,
individually, on March 20, 1996, due no later than June 20, 1996.
It was unsecured and bore interest at 10 percent. Four Pals
Community Broadcasters, Inc. owns KPAL-TV, (see Capital Resources
and Liquidity for further discussion regarding KPAL-TV) and the
loan was made based on a potential future relationship that did not
materialize. Since there has been no effort on the part of Four
Pals Community Broadcasters, Inc. and its President to satisfy this
obligation, the matter has been turned over the Company attorney
for evaluation and the Company wrote off the $25,000 as bad debt
expense.
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1995 versus Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1994
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Film revenue decreased by $96,554 or 16 percent in fiscal year 1995
as compared to fiscal year 1994. This decrease was primarily
related to a distributor correcting a royalty report in 1994
resulting in a one-time payment of $152,000. Certain major markets
have become available and are exploitable for fiscal year 1996, but
there can be no assurance film revenue will equal or exceed 1995
film revenue as a result.
Operating costs and film amortization decreased by $40,055 or 28
percent in fiscal year 1995 compared to fiscal 1994. There were
offsetting factors that caused this decrease; amortization expense
in fiscal 1994 was $118,100 that fully amortized the Company's film
library so that in fiscal 1995 amortization was zero; print cost in
fiscal 1994 was $5,000 versus $53,000 in fiscal 1995 an increase of
$48,000 that reflects the digital remastering of certain of the
Company's films; commission expense in fiscal 1994 was $12,000 over
fiscal 1994 paid to assist the Company for a sale of a third
party's film; development cost in fiscal 1995 increased by $18,000
over 1994 as a result of write offs of three abandoned projects.
Selling, general and administration costs decreased by $91,278 or
13 percent in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994. Salary
expense decreased by $42,000 in fiscal 1995 versus fiscal 1994 as
a result of recording a vacation accrual in fiscal 1994;
professional services decreased by $24,500 in fiscal 1994 versus
11
<PAGE>
fiscal 1994 as a result of minimizing the amount of outside legal
and accounting services during the year; rent expense decreased by
$32,000 in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 as a result of an
adjustment to the Company's standard journal entry for rent in
fiscal 1994 and this adjustment indicated an additional $1,000 per
month should be recorded. The prior years would have been affected
as follows:
1991 $ 4,000
1992 $12,000
1993 $12,000
Due to the quantitative and qualitative nature of the adjustment,
management believes it unnecessary to restate prior years'
financial statements.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------
As of September 30, 1997 the Company had $23,826 available to meet
operating requirements. In addition, it had net accounts
receivable of $38,103. This cash position is not adequate to meet
the Company's operational needs.
The Company has no significant immediate liabilities that it is
unable to satisfy, because at the present time the Company's
Chairman and President continue to accrue their full 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. In addition, the principal
payment of $50,000 due on December 31, 1995 on the PEL note has not
been paid and is in default.
During the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company's Board of
Directors (the "Board") and management continued the mandate of
investigating for strategic companies for potential acquisition or
merger that would add asset value and revenue to the Company. In
July and August of 1997 discussions were held with a company Of
Sound Mind, Inc. ("OSM"). OSM is a private company involved in
picture and sound post production in the motion picture and
television industry. After several meetings and exchanges of
information, the Company entered into a letter of intent on
September 19, 1997 proposing a purchase of 100% of the outstanding
stock of OSM in exchange for 700,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. On October 21, 1997, subsequent to the Company's September
30, 1997 year end, the Company and OSM signed a more definitive
purchase agreement that was outlined in a Form 8-K filed by the
Company on October 31, 1997. The purchase is subject to OSM being
able to provide audited financial statements.

<PAGE>
The company has diversified sound services that include theme park
projects, interactive games, internet projects, propriety systems
development, and THX studio complex design/installation on an
international level. In addition, OSM offers complete picture and
sound post production packages to independent film makers.
On October 21, 1997, the Company also closed an offering of
$150,000 principal amount convertible subordinated debentures (the
"Debentures") and 150,00 Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable
at $.50 (the "Warrants"). Each Debenture bears interest at the
rate of 8% per annum and matures on November 1, 1998. Each
Debenture is convertible into shares of the Registrant's common
stock at the lesser of a thirty five percent discount to the
average high closing bid price of the Registrant's common stock on
the five consecutive trading days ending two days before the date
of conversion or a thirty five percent discount to the average high
closing bid price of the common stock on the date of Closing. Each
Warrant is exercisable into the Registrant's common stock at a
price of $.50 per share at any time on or after October 31, 1997
and expiring on October 31, 1999.
The capital raised, through the convertible debenture, of $150,000
is not adequate for the overall needs of the Company. The
Company's Board and management continue to have discussions with
investment bankers to raise funds for expansion of the Company and
additional possible acquisitions. These discussions relate to
establishing acquisition or merger criteria that would benefit all
parties involved. The essential element is to add revenue
generating assets to the Company and to strengthen the balance
sheet. Currently, and management believes that over the next
twelve months, the Company's film library will continue to generate
the cash necessary to pay the Company's overhead excluding the full
salaries of the President and Chairman.
The revenues from the library of films currently owned by the
Company were not adequate in fiscal 1997 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.

Compensation and Stock Option Plans
- -----------------------------------
1986 and 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan
- -----------------------------------------
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.
17
<PAGE>
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. As of
September 30, 1997 21,250 options have been granted under the plan,
none have been exercised.
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
outstanding voting securities of the Company. Options under 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 at least 20% per year over five years
from the date the option is granted. 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.
Upon their election as a Director and on October 30th of each
subsequent year while 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-
qualified stock options to purchase a maximum of 625,000 shares.
The 1993 Non-Qualified Plan limits the percentage of the total
number of options which may be granted to Officers and Directors to
50% or 312,500 shares.
18
<PAGE>
The 1993 Non-Qualified Plan provides that no options shall be
granted thereunder after March 7, 2003. The Board of Directors may
amend, suspend or terminate the 1993 Non-Qualified Plan at any
time. As of September 30, 1997 26,250 options have been granted
under the plan, none have been exercised.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
----------------------------
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Marquee Entertainment, Inc.:
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Marquee Entertainment, Inc. as of September 30, 1997 and 1996
(restated) and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended September 30, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide
a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Marquee Entertainment, Inc. as of September
30, 1997 and 1996 (restated), and results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years ended in the three-year period
ended September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The
Company has incurred significant losses for each of the years ended
September 30, 1997. The Company has a current cash position which
may be inadequate to meet its future operating needs and additional
financial support will be required during fiscal 1998. Given these
factors, there is substantial doubt concerning the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are discussed in Note 1. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies:
Organization:
Marquee Entertainment, Inc., formerly Lway Productions, (the
"Company") was incorporated on June 26, 1979, as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Exacta, Inc. ("Exacta") under the laws of the State
of Nevada and was inactive from 1981 until February 1987 when it
completed a public offering of its common stock. Exacta retained
a 50% ownership in the outstanding shares of the Company after the
public offering. In December 1987, Exacta transferred its shares
of Common Stock in the Company to an affiliated company, Peregrine
Entertainment, Ltd. ("PEL"), formerly EMI Television. From
February, 1987 to January, 1989, the Company engaged in the
funding, as a co-producer, of the development and production of
television programming for domestic and foreign exhibition.
On November 2, 1990 the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Acquisition Agreement") with PEL and its subsidiaries to acquire
substantially all of the assets of PEL and its subsidiaries. Among
other things the Company acquired was foreign distribution rights
in twenty nine films and certain accounts receivable from Peregrine
Producers Group ("PPG"), a PEL subsidiary. The consummation of the
Acquisition Agreement was on March 12, 1991. In connection with
the consummation of the Acquisition Agreement the Company
repurchased and retired 30,000,000 shares of its common stock owned
by PEL.
Since the consummation of the Acquisition Agreement the Company's
primary business activity has been film distribution, of the
acquired films, and the Company is no longer solely engaged in the
funding of development and production of television programming for
domestic and foreign exhibition.
Company Business:
Effective with the consummation of the PEL asset acquisition the
Company commenced licensing acquired film rights in all currently
available territories. The Company's customers consist of foreign
subdistributors with long standing reputations in their respective
markets.

Basis of Presentation:
The balance sheets are presented in an unclassified format in
accordance with FAS No. 53.
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
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 September 30, 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.
In addition, a significant nonrecurring adjustment of $441,259 to
interest expense representing additional financing cost and credit
to additional paid-in capital was required to adjust the conversion
price of $.25 of the 8% convertible debenture to $.50, the market
value at the time of issuance of the 8% convertible debenture.

Going Concern:
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 KPAL TV, a low power
television station located in Palmdale, California and the other
was Barr Media, a film producer and distributor of educational and
specialty film product. As of November 25, 1996, the letters of
intent to acquire these companies had 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 it was
returned to the individual investors as the minimum was not
achieved.
The Company's Board of Directors and management continue to have
discussions with investment bankers. These discussions relate to
establishing acquisition or merger criteria that would benefit all
parties involved. The essential element is to add revenue
generating assets to the Company and to strengthen the balance
sheet (see Note 9, Subsequent Events for Further Discussions).
Currently, and management believes that over the next twelve
months, the Company's film library will continue to generate the
cash necessary to pay the Company's overhead excluding the full
salaries of the President and Chairman.
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.
The revenue from the library of films currently owned by the
Company were not adequate in fiscal 1997 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.

Note 1 - cont...
As of September 30, 1997 the Company had $23,826 available to meet
operating requirements. In addition, it had net accounts
receivable of $38,103. 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.)
Management believes that with maintaining reductions in operational
costs, and increased sales activity from the current library and
new acquired motion pictures, the Company may be able to continue
as a going concern. However, at this time, there is substantial
doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is disclosure regarding the fair value as compared to
carrying value under the guidelines of FAS 107 and how it applies
to the financial instruments as presented on the Company's balance
sheet. The assets of the Company are carried at their net
realizable value, namely cash, accounts receivable and other, that
are prepaids and rent deposit. On the liability side, accounts
payable and accrued expenses are stated at fair value. Deferred
income is at fair value. Notes payable is at fair value. The 8%
convertible debenture has a fair value different than its stated
value. The conversion of the 8% convertible debenture at $.25 a
share would yield 1,981,068 and 1,835,628 shares of the Company's
common stock at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
market value of the common stock at September 30, 1997 and 1996 was
$.44. The carrying value and fair value of the 8% convertible
debenture is as follows:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 123, that became
effective January 1, 1997, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS 123) establishes financial accounting and
reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans as
well as transactions in which an entity issues its equity
instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees.
However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure
compensation cost based on APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has determined that the
fair value of stock transactions is similar to the issue price at
the time of granting and, accordingly, the adoption of this

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. Film revenue for fiscal years ended
September 30 from the following customers and geographic areas
representing greater than 10 percent are as follows:

There were no customers representing greater than 10 percent of
revenue during the period.
In addition to television license agreements, the Company receives
royalty revenue and other revenue participation in its films. This
revenue is reported quarterly, biannually and in some cases
annually by outside third parties. The Company is not able to
project, estimate, define, or determine revenue from these sources
until a report from these third parties is received indicating the
amount of revenue they have calculated is owed, if any, to the
Company and it is accompanied with a check for a like amount.

Accordingly, since revenue is not determinable or definable in a
future context, it cannot be accrued and is recorded on a cash
basis when received. The following table represents royalty
revenue over fiscal years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

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:
Amortization is based on the income forecast method utilizing the
relationship revenue realized in the period bears to estimated
future revenue and the new cost basis (Note 2). Such estimated
revenue will be revised periodically by management and estimated
losses, if any, will be provided for. 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 September
30, 1997, which was due December 31, 1995, has not been paid and is
therefore in default.
Note 3 - Net Loss Per Share:
Net loss per share is not computed using common stock equivalents
at September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 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

If the net loss carryforward were to be realized, a deferred tax
asset of approximately $1,500,000 would be set forth. However, due
to the unlikely realization of such an asset, a valuation reserve
of $1,500,000 would be required and no benefit would be recorded
until the loss carryforward is realized.

Pursuant to employment agreements between the company and Harold

annual compensation is $150,000 and $140,000 respectively. The
term of the agreements is one year; the term is automatically

Note 9 - Subsequent Events:
During the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company's Board of
Directors (the "Board") and management continued the mandate of
investigating for strategic companies for potential acquisition or
merger that would add asset value and revenue to the Company. In
July and August of 1997 discussions were held with a company Of
Sound Mind, Inc. ("OSM"). OSM is a private company involved in
picture and sound post production in the motion picture and
television industry. After several meetings and exchanges of
information, the Company entered into a letter of intent on
September 19, 1997 proposing a purchase of 100% of the outstanding
stock of OSM in exchange for 700,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. On October 21, 1997, subsequent to the Company's September
30, 1997 year end, the Company and OSM signed a more definitive
purchase agreement that was outlined in a Form 8-K filed by the
Company on October 31, 1997. The purchase is subject to OSM being
able to provide audited financial statements.
The company has diversified sound services that include theme park
projects, interactive games, internet projects, propriety systems
development, and THX studio complex design/installation on an
international level. In addition, OSM offers complete picture and
sound post production packages to independent film makers.
On October 21, 1997, the Company also closed an offering of
$150,000 principal amount convertible subordinated debentures (the
"Debentures") and 150,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants
exercisable at $.50 (the "Warrants"). Each Debenture bears
interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on November 1,
1998. Each Debenture is convertible into shares of the
Registrant's common stock at the lesser of a thirty five percent
discount to the average high closing bid price of the Registrant's
common stock on the five consecutive trading days ending two days
before the date of conversion or a thirty five percent discount to
the average high
