MARQUEE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
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 the
restated Form 10K for the year ended September 30, 1996.
The results of operations for the six month period ended March 31,
1997 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.
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 March 31, 1997, 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
8

Note 1 - cont...
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 at September 30, 1996, 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. 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.
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. 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.

<PAGE>
MARQUEE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - cont...
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 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.
As of March 31, 1997 the Company had $18,392 available to meet
operating requirements. In addition, it had net accounts
receivable of $202,760. 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
10
<PAGE>
MARQUEE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - cont...
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.
Disclosing fair value of financial instruments as set forth under
FAS 107 does not appear to apply to the Company's financial
instrument as presented on its 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 could have
a fair value different than its stated value but it does not appear
determinable.
FAS 123, when adopted, will not have a material impact on the
financial statements of the Company.
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.
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
11
<PAGE>
MARQUEE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - cont...
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 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
1997 1996
------ ------
Royalty Revenue 21,931 61,206
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. As of March 31,
1997 the Company's furniture and fixtures were fully depreciated.
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 unsecured promissory notes bearing interest of
12

10% and due over a period of four years. The balance of $50,000 at
March 31, 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 computed using common stock equivalents at
March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1996 common stock equivalents were
not used because they would be antidilutive. Net loss per share is
computed using the weighted average number of shares for the three
and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997.

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
15

Note 6 - cont...
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
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 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-
qualified stock options to purchase a maximum of 625,000 shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 1997, the Company had
a profit of $164,086 and $40,105, respectively. The Company's
shareholders' deficit decreased from $866,237 at September 30, 1996
to $826,132 at March 31, 1997. The Company's cash position
decreased by $10,429 since September 30, 1996.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenue for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 was $396,925,
an increase of $264,969 as compared to the six month period ended
March 31, 1996. This increase is due to a license of films in the
United Kingdom of $243,750 and in Germany for $50,000. With the
recognition of this revenue, deferred income, revenue to be
recognized in a future period, decreased by $80,996.
Operating expense for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 was
$21,425, a decrease of $8,473 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. This decrease was due to offsetting factors: less
print costs of $4,000, less depreciation expense of $5,400 and an
increase in freight costs of $1,000. These reductions reflect less
digital conversion of the Company's films, the fully depreciated
aspect of the Company's assets and an increase in sales activity
that caused more shipments of film material.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six month
period ended March 31, 1997 were $315,788, an increase of $40,795,
or 15%, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 1996. There
were two significant areas of increase as compared to the prior
period. One was a bad debt of $14,400 that occurred as a result of
a licensee making a down payment but then never taking delivery of
the film nor making the final payment. After making several
attempts to contact the licensee, with no success, the account was
deemed uncollectible and written off. The second was an increase
in salaries and payroll tax in 1997 of $30,000. In 1996 the
Company analyzed the payroll tax accrual that had been accruing at
the rate of 10% per period, and it was found to be excessive due to
reaching the maximum for social security. The amount in excess of
social security should have been accrued at the medicare rate of
1.45% that has no ceiling.
There were other offsetting factors in the other areas of the
accounts: professional fee decreased by $12,000 due to legal
expenses incurred with respect to the Company's unsuccessful
attempt in placing a private placement; messenger/courier expense
19

MARQUEE ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
ITEM 2. (Continued)
increased by $1,600 due to increased sales activity; auto expense
increased by $1,600 due to one Company lease car needing a new set
of tires and a tune-up; dues and subscriptions increased by $600
due to the subscription to AOL and some additional industry
publications; and telephone expense increased by $1,200 due to
increased sales activity.
Although the above mentioned results of operations indicate a
profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997 of $164,086, this
is not a trend that will necessarily continue, but rather a profit
based on certain available territories and rules under FAS 53 and
recognition of revenue.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had $18,392 available to meet
operating requirements. In addition, it had net accounts
receivable of $202,760. 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, 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. 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 it was unavailable and has been
returned to the individual investors. There has been no further
discussions with KPAL TV or Barr Media.
The Company's Board of Directors and management continue to have
discussions with investment bankers. These discussions relate to
20

ITEM 2. (Continued)
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 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.
