                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's 
Consolidated Financial Statements, including the footnotes.

    The Company has changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. 
The current year will now end on December 31, 1996, and the Company will now 
report results of operations for nine months rather than twelve months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO MARCH 31, 1996

ASSETS

    The Company substantially increased its investment in net property and 
equipment during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Property and equipment 
increased 40% from $5,156,217 at March 31, 1996 to $7,212,563 at June 30, 
1996.  This increase reflects the Company's substantial investment at the 
Virginia Renaissance Faire. Note receivables increased by $184,647 as a 
result of promissory notes issued to the Company by craft vendors for the 
Virginia Faire to reimburse the Company for capital improvements it made for 
the benefit of certain craft vendors.

    Cash and equivalents decreased by $285,465 from $631,063 at March 31, 
1996 to $345,598 at June 30, 1996.  The decrease in cash and equivalents is 
due in part to the operating losses for the quarter and in part due to the 
increased purchases of property and equipment for the Virginia Renaissance 
Faire.  Accounts receivable was reduced by $70,977, reflecting payment from 
outside vendors as the Faires in Southern California and Virginia ended their 
seasonal runs in mid-June.  Inventory increased by $111,068 from $116,222 to 
$227,289.  The Company's merchandise division purchased additional inventory 
to gear up for its Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin, the New York 
Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, and the Northern California Renaissance Pleasure 
Faire near San Francisco.  Prepaid expenses decreased 42% from $979,769 to 
$567,818.  This change reflects the recognition of expenses as the Faire 
season progresses.  Goodwill decreased by $400,120 from $1,046,285 to 
$646,165.  This is due to yearly amortization and a decrease in goodwill of 
$380,000 for the Southern California Faire.  The lack of operating profits in 
Southern California for the past two years caused management to reduce 
goodwill.  In summary, CURRENT ASSETS decreased by 30%, from $2,119,867 as of 
March 31, 1996 to $1,492,665 as of June 30, 1996.  TOTAL ASSETS increased by 
1.3% from $10,433,469 to $10,571,180.  This is due to the capital 
construction of the Virginia Renaissance Faire.

LIABILITIES

    The Company's TOTAL LIABILITIES increased by $1,334,339 or 28.8%, for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Accounts payable increased by $854,733 to 
$2,035,823, in part due to the cyclical increase in accounts payable owing to 
the completion of the Southern California and Virginia Renaissance Faires and 
the start-up of the Bristol and New York Renaissance Faires.  The current 
portion of the notes payable increased by $694,503 to $1,132,459 from 
$437,956 at March 31, 1996.  The Company drew cash from its operating liness 
of credit to finance both capital improvements at the Virginia Renaissance 
Faire and its operating losses.  Unearned income decreased by $182,503 to 
$303,295. The Company recognized deposits from vendors as income once the 
Southern California Faire and Virginia Faire completed their seasonal run.  
Based on these events, the Company's CURRENT LIABILITIES increased by 64.9% 
to $3,471,577 at June 30, 1996 from $2,104,844 at March 31, 1996.


                                                                   8

LIQUIDITY

    The changes in current assets and liabilities resulted in a decrease in 
working capital of $1,993,935 from $15,023 at March 31, 1996 to $(1,978,912) 
at June 30, 1996.  The decrease in working capital is primarily due to use of 
cash to fund the Virginia construction project, which transfers assets out of 
working capital and into long-term assets, as well as cash outflow required 
from its operations during the 1996 Renaissance Faire.  The Company's future 
liquidity is highly dependent on results of the remaining three Faires to be 
held in the summer and fall of 1996. It is management's opinion that cash 
flow from operations will not be adequate to fund the Company's existing 
short-term and long-term obligations owed to lending institutions. 

    Except for approximately $100,000 of capital improvements to complete the 
construction of the Virginia Renaissance Faire, the Company has no current 
commitments for any material capital expenditures for the balance of the 
year.  The Company currently owes $250,000 to Bank One Kenosha and $750,000 
to Bank One Boulder for its operating lines of credit that are due on 
September  1, 1996.  Based on recent discussions with these lenders, 
management believes that a sixty day extension will be granted  by both 
lenders.  There can be no assurance that the extensions will be granted. 
Management has begun discussions with its current lenders and other outside 
sources to increase its lines of credit and/or refinance its existing lines 
of credit to accommodate the cyclical nature of the Company's operations.  
Management believes that it will be necessary to raise approximately 
$1,500,000 of additional working capital either through debt or equity to 
fund its short-term cash flow problems. Efforts are currently underway to 
accomplish that goal.  However, there can be no assurance that additional 
capital will be available to the Company, or if available, available on terms 
acceptable to the Company.   There is a possibility that the Company may need 
to raise equity capital at a price significantly lower than the current 
market price for the Company's common stock.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    Shareholders' equity decreased $1,196,628 or 20.6% from $5,797,438 at 
March 31, 1996 to $4,600,810 at June 30, 1996.  Equity was reduced $924,764, 
due to the net operating loss for the quarter.  Equity decreased $380,000 due 
to the write off of goodwill for the Southern California Faire and equity 
increased by $108,136 due to the exercise of warrants and employee stock 
options.


                                                                   9

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE 
                           MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

    The results of operations of the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 
1996, reflect operations of the full nine week run of the Southern California 
Faire, the full seven week run of the Virginia Renaissance Faire, and one 
weekend of the Bristol Renaissance Faire.

    Revenue increased from $4,486,726 for the three months ended June 30, 
1995 to $5,316,083 for the three months ended June  30, 1996. This is an 
increase of 18.5%.  The increase in revenues related to the opening of the 
Virginia Faire during the quarter.  The increased revenues from the run of 
the Virginia Faire were offset by a decrease in revenues of $489,087 for the 
Southern California Faire as compared to last year. Unusually inclement 
weather in both Virginia and Southern California reduced the expected 
revenues from Faire operations.

    Operating expenses increased by $1,642,332 in 1996 compared to 1995.  
This is partially due to the increased costs of starting a new Faire in 
Virginia and six months of operating expenses for the New York Renaissance 
Faire, which was purchased by the Company in February 1996.  Due to the 
pooling of interests between Creative Faires, Ltd. (The New York Renaissance 
Faire) and the Company and the different fiscal year ends of Creative Faires, 
Ltd. and the Company, the Company is accounting for six months of operations 
for the New York Faire in this three month quarter.  The Company wrote down 
$380,000 in Goodwill for the Southern California Faire, based on its poor 
performance for the past two years.  

    The Company incurred a NET LOSS of $1,304,764 for the three months ended 
June  30, 1996 compared to a NET INCOME of $56,424 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in net  income is due to: a) losses 
incurred with the opening of the Virginia Faire, reflecting the industry 
experience that it can take two or more years for a new Faire to become 
profitable; and b) to the decrease in revenues from the Southern California 
Faire.  The Company believes that it will be necessary to find a new 
permanent location for the Southern California Faire in order to improve its 
operating results.  While the Company is currently investigating new sites 
for this Faire, there can be no assurance that a new site will be available 
or, if available, available on terms acceptable to the Company.

    Net  loss per share was ($.30) compared to net income per share of $.02 
in June of 1995.  This reflects the operating losses for the Virginia Faire, 
start-up costs for the Virginia Faire, the reduction of revenue from the 
Southern California Faire, six months of operating expenses for the New York 
Faire, and the write-down of $380,000 of goodwill for the Southern California 
Faire.


                                                                     10
