                          SHOWSCAN ENTERTAINMENT INC.
            Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


Note 1--Introduction:

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Showscan Entertainment Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
March 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995.

Note 2--Equipment sales inventory:

         Equipment sales inventory, consisting primarily of film exhibition and
simulation system equipment and related components, is valued at the lower of
average cost or market.

Note 3--Investments in Owned and Operated theatres:

         In 1993, the Company began the development of Showscan motion
simulation attractions in which the Company has an ownership interest.  In
connection therewith, the Company and affiliates of certain of its directors
entered into two ventures, the Showscan CityWalk Venture (the "CityWalk
Venture") and the Showscan Attractions Venture.  In addition, General Cinema of
Framingham, Inc., a wholly owned Massachusetts subsidiary of General Cinema
Corp. of Massachusetts, entered into a venture with the Company (the "Framingham
Venture") in April 1995.  Showscan Framingham, Inc., a wholly owned Delaware
subsidiary of the Company, and General Cinema of Framingham, Inc. are equal
partners in the Framingham Venture.

         The CityWalk Venture's theatre opened in November 1993 at Universal
CityWalk adjacent to Universal Studios, Universal City, California.  The
CityWalk Venture is 50% owned by Showscan CityWalk, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.  The first Showscan Attractions Venture theatres
opened in September 1994 at Piccadilly Circus, London, England.  This
twin-theatre is held by a United Kingdom corporation which is 50% owned by
Showscan Attractions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The
Framingham Venture's theatres opened, in late May 1995, at a new 14 screen movie
multiplex owned and operated by General Cinema Corp. in Framingham,
Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston.

         The Company accounts for its investment in owned and operated theatres
under the equity method of accounting.

Note 4--Net income per common share:

         Earnings per common share, on a primary basis, has been determined
using 6,382,461 and 5,352,615 weighted average shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

         The primary earnings per share calculation uses weighted average shares
of common stock and common stock equivalents, which in this case assumes the
conversion of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock.  The assumed conversion of the Company's
outstanding warrants and options is not reflected in this calculation because of
their anti-dilutive nature.

         Income per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 is computed
using the "modified treasury stock method," which assumes the exercise of all
outstanding warrants and options and the use of the proceeds thereof to acquire
up to 20% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  Excess proceeds not
utilized for the assumed purchase of such shares are assumed to reduce the
outstanding balance of the subordinated note payable and increase net income for
the hypothetical interest expense savings ($13,000).  Earnings per common share
for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 also gives effect to the accretion ($42,000)
recorded on the Company's then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations:

         The principal sources of Showscan Entertainment Inc.'s (the "Company")
revenues are the licensing of the Showscan film library and technologies, the
sale and installation of projectors, screens, sound systems and other equipment
used to exhibit Showscan films, and the sale of motion bases and other equipment
used in most of the Company's motion simulation theatre attractions ("Showscan
Attractions").  The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material
impact on the Company's net revenues or on its results of operations for the
three most recent fiscal years.

         The Company's revenues and results of operations can fluctuate from
quarter to quarter within any fiscal year.  Such fluctuations are a function of
various factors, including the timing of delivery and installation of Showscan
Attractions to third party owners and operators (pursuant to percentage of
completion accounting), the specific configuration of the Showscan Attractions
sold, the timing of film library license periods, the owned and operated theatre
gross box office seasonality, and the timing of sales and marketing efforts and
related expenditures.  The Company believes that as its installed base of
Showscan Attractions continues to expand, these seasonality factors will slowly
diminish.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994:

         Revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 (the "1996
First Quarter") remained relatively unchanged in absolute terms from revenues
for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994 (the "1995 First Quarter").  The
increase in film rentals and royalty of $723,000 was offset by the decrease in
equipment sales and related services.

         Film rentals and royalties increased by 60% to $1.9 million in the 1996
First Quarter.  Approximately half of this increase was due to the increase in
the installed base of operating Showscan Attractions while the remainder of the
increase was the result of a specific-site license agreement. Revenues from film
rentals and royalties are expected to increase annually in the future as the
installed base of Showscan Attractions increases.

         Revenues from equipment sales and related services for the 1996 First
Quarter decreased to $2.2 million from $3.0 million in the corresponding prior
year period.  The decrease in the number of Showscan Attraction orders in the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 and the 1996 First
Quarter as compared to the corresponding prior year periods resulted in the
decrease in revenues.  The Company recognizes equipment sales under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, generally measured by the
percentage that the labor cost incurred to date bears to the estimated total
labor cost of each contract; accordingly, the recognition of revenue for such
sales is affected during the current and future quarters by (i) the timing of
such sales, (ii) the schedule of the build out of the Showscan Attractions and
(iii) the shipment and installation of the equipment and related services.





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
         Cost of revenues were 47% of revenues in the 1996 First Quarter as
compared to 60% in the 1995 First Quarter.  The resulting increase in gross
profit was principally the result of the significant increase in film rentals
and royalties, as the cost of revenues on equipment sales and related services
remained constant at 79% in the 1996 First Quarter and 80% in the 1995 First
Quarter.  The cost of the Company's film library is being amortized using the
individual film forecast method which is based on estimated future revenues, as
revised quarterly.  Amortization expense of the film library for the 1996 First
Quarter and the 1995 First Quarter was $200,000 and $100,000, respectively. The
increase in amortization was related primarily to the additions to the Company's
film library in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 and the corresponding
amortization of such films.

         General and administrative expenses of $1,771,000 for the 1996 First
Quarter represented a 27% increase over the prior year period.  The increase is
primarily attributable to the hiring of additional personnel for (i) the current
and anticipated sales needs, (ii) the enhancement of existing product lines and
(iii) the development of new product lines.

         Depreciation and amortization remained relatively unchanged in the 1996
First Quarter from the corresponding prior year period.

         The Company develops Showscan Attractions in which the Company has an
ownership interest, and accounts for such investments under the equity method of
accounting.  The loss of $39,000 on investment in owned and operated theatres is
primarily the result of (i) $29,000 of operating losses at the new Framingham
theatres (opened in late May 1995) which includes initial start-up and marketing
expenses (ii) site acquisition costs of $33,000 (for future owned and operated
theatre locations) incurred through the Showscan Attractions Venture, offset by
(iii) the combined operating profits from the Showscan CityWalk Venture and the
CineMania U.K. Ltd. Venture.

         The Company's net income increased in the current period to $115,000
from $57,000 in the corresponding prior year period.  The increase in film
rentals and royalties was the primary factor for the increased performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

         At June 30, 1995, the Company's working capital decreased to $3,528,000
from $4,875,000 at March 31, 1995.  The decrease in working capital was
primarily the result of funding provided by the Company in connection with the
establishment of the Showscan Attractions in Framingham, Massachusetts.

         Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1995 decreased by $4,120,000 from
March 31, 1995 primarily due to (i) the payment of $3,131,000 under a
subordinated note payable to Mr. Douglas Trumbull, the inventor of the Showscan
process and (ii) the funding of the Framingham Attractions as described above.
Accounts receivables, unbilled receivables on uncompleted equipment contracts
and equipment sales inventory increased by a combined 25%, while accounts
payable, customer advances on uncompleted equipment contracts and accrued
expenses and other current liabilities increased by 40%.  These changes are
primarily attributable to the timing of the





                                       11
<PAGE>   12
Company's Showscan Attractions sales and the specific contract terms of such
sales, which contract terms generally affect the timing of collections,
shipments to customers and related payment to vendors.

         Net cash used in the Company's investing activities was $494,000.
Substantially all of this amount was attributable to additions to the Company's
film library.

         Net cash used in financing activities was $3,186,000, of which,
$3,131,000 was attributable to the payment of the subordinated note as
described above.

         During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Company revised its
business focus and strategy.  The Company's current operations are not expected
to generate sufficient cash to fully implement its revised business strategy.
In order to obtain the necessary capital, the revised strategy calls for the
Company to generate additional funds through one or more of the following
means: the sales of securities; the incurrence of indebtedness; and/or the
formation of additional strategic alliances, joint ventures or similar
arrangements.  The Company is actively pursuing additional financing
alternatives; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain any of the above financing alternatives.  If the Company is unable to
generate sufficient funds from operations or is unable to raise additional
capital through any of the aforementioned alternatives, the Company will need
to curtail its revised business strategy, specifically with regards to the
timing of new film productions and the number of new owned & operated theatres.
