                   THE SOUTHSHORE CORPORATION

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      December 31, 1996
                         (Unaudited)

(1)    Summary of Accounting Policies
       ------------------------------
     A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the 
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

     (a) General
         -------
      The Southshore Corporation ("Company") was incorporated under the laws 
of Colorado on March 26, 1990 for the purpose of engaging in any lawful
business.  The company operates a waterpark in southeast Denver metro area.

     (b) Unaudited Financial Statements
         ------------------------------
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the 
registrant without audit and are the responsibility of the Company's 
management.  Management is of the opinion that all adjustments that should be 
made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to present 
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash  flows for the 
periods presented have been made.

      Management has elected to omit substantially all the footnote
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

     The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
the Company's audited financial statements as of March 31, 1996.  The results
of operation for the period ended December 31, 1996 are not indicative of the 
operating results for the full year.

     (c) Property and Equipment
         ----------------------
      Property and equipment are stated at cost.  The original park water
features are depreciated using a straight line method based on a 7 year 
estimated useful life.  A 20 year estimated useful life on a straight line 
basis is utilized on the buildings.  Park improvements since 1994 have been 
depreciated using a modified accelerated cost recovery method over 31.5 years 
for buildings and 7 years for equipment.

                             -6-
<PAGE>



(2)    Liquidity and Capital Resources
       -------------------------------
      See Management's Discussion for disclosure related to liquidity and 
capital and the related contingencies and commitments.

(3)   Net Profit and Loss Per Common Share
      ------------------------------------
      Net profit and loss per common share for the three and six month period 
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 has been computed based on the weighted 
number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.

(4)   Bank Line of Credit -Note to President
      --------------------------------------
     On April 25, 1994, the Company issued a five year promissory note in the 
amount of $400,000 to its President.  The note was issued pursuant to an 
arrangement  whereby the President became personally obligated and personally 
secured a $400,000 bank line of credit, the proceeds of which were made 
available to the Company.  The Company is required to pay interest on the line 
at the bank's prime rate.  The Company's President has the right to purchase 
common stock at $2.25 per share in an amount equal to what he is at  risk on 
the bank line of credit.  On default of the note he may convert the 
outstanding balance to common stock at $1.00 per share.  At December 31, 1996, 
the balance was $340,000.

(5)   10% Secured Notes -$970,000
      ---------------------------
      The Company was required to pay down the principal balance of its 
outstanding 10% Secured Notes by 25% on September 30, 1994, June 30, 1995 and 
June 30, 1996 respectively.  The Company failed to make these payments, 
however it has obtained deferrals from holders of $735,000 in these notes as 
to payments of principal through September 30, 1997.  Additionally, the 
trustee under the Indenture relating to these notes resigned as trustee 
effective November 4, 1994.

    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
                      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      ---------------------
Financial Condition

     At December 31, 1996, working capital was a negative $1,712,372 as 
compared to a negative $1,084,935 at March 31, 1996.  The principal reasons 
for the working capital shortfall are unpaid and accrued property taxes of 
$411,548, trade payables, and $970,000 in notes due on or before September 
30, 1997.  The increase in negative working capital is primarily due to the
reclassification of $735,000 of notes payable due September 30, 1997 from 
long-term liabilities to current liabilities.  See "Liquidity and Capital 
Resources" below.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company's shareholders' equity was $471,929, 
down from $706,032 at March 31, 1996, due entirely to operating losses.

Results of Operations -Nine Months Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Nine 
Months Ended December 31, 1995

     Revenues for the current nine months were up over 26 % compared to the 
same period in 1995.  This increased is accounted for by increased attendance, 
increased ticket price, the park's increased lease percentage of concession 
and catering expeditures by the changing of our food service provider and 
more favorable weather conditions during June 1996 as compared to June 1995.

       Total operating expenses were down 8.2% as compared to the comparable 
period in 1995.  Salaries were down over 3%.  Payroll taxes decreased almost 
21%.  Advertising expenditures were down over 20% and the cost of outside 
services was down a whopping 79.5%.  Depreciation and amortization remained 
basically the same for the two periods.  The interest expense for period in 
1996 is consistent with the debt.  The relative low interest expense for the
period 1995 was an anomoly due to aggressive negotiation by management in 
the lien construction settlements.

     Management expects the Company to experience an additional approximate 
$270,000 in operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization) and 
interest expenses during the remainder of the fiscal year ended March 31, 
1997.  A non-cash item, $145,000 in depreciation and amortization constitutes 
approximately 54% of these operating expenses and interest expenses.  
Property taxes of $30,000 and interest expense of $45,000 constitute 
approximately 11% and 17% of such anticipated expenses.

Results of Operations -Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Three 
Months Ended December 31, 1995

     Revenues for the current three months and the comparable period in 1995 
were both insignificant, as both periods are in the off-season of the 
corporation's core business.

     Overall operating expenses for the period declined over 18%.  Salaries 
decreased by 3.6%, and payroll taxes declined by over 86%.  Advertising 
decreased for the period by 98%, 
 


                               -8-

<PAGE>
as more favorable terms and advertising efficiencies are being explored.  
Expenditures for outside services net a negative for the period as legal fees 
payable by the Company have been relieved.  Depreciation and amortization 
remained basically the same for the two periods.  Interest expense of 
$45,008 is consistent with the Company's debt.

     The net loss for the operating quarter is $308,574 as compared to the 
loss of $290,293 for the same quarter in 1995.  The increase in net loss is 
primarily due to an extraordinary charge of $60,966 taken by the Company 
through its interest in a haunted house on the waterpark's premises during 
October 1996.  The Company shared with its leasee and haunted house operator
(Phantoms, LLC) the operating loss of the venture as per agreement.  The 
Company has no intention at this time of operating, have interest in, or 
participating in similar ventures in the future.  In both quarters, 
depreciation and amortization, a non-cash item, accounted for approximately 
$145,000 of these losses.






                           -9-

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had $1,684,203 in current obligations, 
primarily composed of notes payables, and accrued and past due property taxes.  
Notes payable of $235,000 are due June 30, 1997, while $735,000 are due 
September 30, 1997. These notes are secured by a first mortgage on portions 
of the waterpark property.  The past due property taxes with interest will 
become due and payable and subject to foreclosure in November 1997.

     The Company has appealed its property tax evaluations with Arapahoe 
County, Colorado and the State of Colorado without much success.  The Company 
will continue appeals in the future in hopes of reducing its annual property 
tax assessment, however there is no assurance that it will be successful.

     Management is currently considering financing alternatives to relieve 
its current obligations and also provide capital to finance future additional 
park facilities.

     The Company continues to rely on its principal shareholders for capital 
infusion and short-term loans to fund some of the Company's operating 
expenses and pay creditors.  Failure to have these or similar funding 
available in the future could result in short-term cash flow and creditor 
problems.
