                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information  and Item  310(b) of  Regulation  SB. 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 only of normal  recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations for the periods
presented are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.  For further  information,  refer to the financial  statements of the
Company as of June 30, 1996,  and the notes  thereto,  included in the Company's
Form 10-KSB.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December  31, 1996 the Company  had a working  capital  surplus of  $143,965,
compared to a working capital deficiency  $976,147 on June 30, 1996. On December
31,  1996,  and June 30,  1996,  the  Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of
$75,351,  and  $22,759,  respectively.  The  increase in working  capital can be
attributed to a number of items.

In October 1996,  the Company  completed a private  placement of stock for gross
proceeds of $500,000.  The proceeds of this offering  resulted in an increase in
both  cash  and  working  capital.  The  Company  has  entered  into  consulting
agreements  with Cambria  Investment  Group,  Ltd. and  Continental  Capital and
Equity  Corporation  to assist  the  Company  with its  shareholder  and  public
relations.  The Company  prepaid these  agreements,  with cash and stock,  which
contributed to the increase in current assets,  and working  capital.  The stock
issued under these  agreements  was valued at $258,750,  which will be amortized
over the life of the agreements. Of the $50,000 in cash which was paid under the
agreements, $23,000 has been included in general and administrative expenses for
the 6 months ended December 31, 1996.

Also, an increase in the amount payable from affiliates increased current assets
and working  capital.  A portion of the amount due from affiliates is attributed
to the $60,000  earnest money deposits made under the Stock  Purchase  Agreement
described below under Results of Operations.

A note which was due to an affiliate of the Company,  in the amount of $426,141,
was  converted  into Class A Common  Stock,  resulting in a reduction of current
liabilities and an increase in working capital and stockholders' equity. Current
liabilities were $434,722 and $1,084,704 on December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996,
respectively.  On December 31, 1996, and June 30, 1996,  total  liabilities were
$730,171 and $1,084,704, respectively.


                                        6

<PAGE>



The differences in current  liabilities and total  liabilities  between June 30,
1996 and December 31, 1996, are attributable to the  reclassification of certain
debts, from current  liabilities to notes and loans payable,  and the conversion
of the note due to a stockholder into Class A Common Stock.

On December 31, 1996,  the Company had total  stockholders'  equity of $326,434,
contrasted  with a  stockholders'  deficit of  $438,961  on June 30,  1996.  The
private placement for $500,000,  along with the conversion into equity of a note
due to a  shareholder  and the stock  issued  under the  consulting  agreements,
contributed to the increase in stockholders'  equity. Also, the Company has sold
subscriptions for Series B Convertible  Preferred Stock which, until the Company
is authorized to issue this stock, has been accounted for as equity  investments
in Class A Common Shares.

Currently, the Company is dependent upon advances from shareholders and the sale
of stock to meet its financing needs. There is no guaranty that the Company will
be able to obtain additional financing from these sources.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  financial  statements  of the  Company as of  December  31,  1996,  are not
comparable  to the  Company's  financial  statements  on December 31, 1995.  The
financial  statements  dated December 31, 1996, are those of the Company and its
wholly-owned operating subsidiary,  Classic Restaurants  International,  Inc., a
Florida corporation, while the financial statements dated December 31, 1995 were
those  of what  was  formerly  known  as  Casinos  International,  Inc.  and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Great American Casinos, Inc.

For the three and six months ended  December 31, 1996, the Company had net sales
of $703,959 and  $1,115,833,  respectively.  In contrast,  net sales for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 were  $1,372,352.  For the six months ended  December
31, 1996, operating expenses were $1,688,334,  as compared to $1,800,238 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996. The Company  experienced a loss from  operations
of $572,501  and a net loss of $593,993,  for the six months ended  December 31,
1996.  In contrast,  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996,  the Company had a
loss from operations of $427,886 and a net loss of $446,467.

Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1996, were $921,604, in
contrast to  $1,247,567  for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The  Company's
general and  administrative  expenses  were  $694,941  and  $480,960 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively. Interest expense
for the six months ended December 31, 1996, was $28,902, compared to $18,881 for
the six months  ended June 30, 1996.  Due to the  seasonality  of the  Company's
business,  and the changes which the Company has undergone during the past year,
the  Company  does not  believe  that  expenses  for the the six  months  ending
December 31, 1996 and the six months ending June 30, 1996 are comparable.

On October 18, 1996, the Company  entered into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement with
Joseph  Rollins  to  purchase  a 67.5%  interest  in Jocks & Jills  Prado,  Inc.
("Prado") and a 60.75% interest in Divine Events,  Inc.  ("Divine").  Prado does
business under the name Frankie's Food - Sports - Spirits,  a sports bar located
in Atlanta,  Georgia.  The Company made an earnest  money deposit of $50,000 and
made an additional $10,000 deposit for an extension of the Closing Date.

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

                  Not Applicable.

ITEM 2.           CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

                  October 10, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors  authorized
                  the creation of a Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  and
                  the  issuance  of  20  shares  of  the  Series  A  Convertible
                  Preferred Stock along with a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for
                  an  aggregate  price of  $500,000.  The terms of the  Series A
                  Convertible Preferred Stock, require the Company to redeem the
                  shares  twelve (12)  months  after  issuance,  and entitle the
                  holder to a $25,000 liquidation preference over the holders of
                  the Company's equity securities.  The Series A Preferred Stock
                  holders  are  entitled  to vote with the Class A Common  Stock
                  holders,  and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the
                  number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series
                  A Preferred  Stock could be  converted  at the record date for
                  such a vote, or if no record date is  determined,  the date of
                  the vote or the date the written  consent of  shareholders  is
                  solicited.  The Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock may be
                  converted  into Class A Common  Stock 45 days after  issuance.
                  The  number of shares  into  which  the  Series A  Convertible
                  Preferred  Stock may be  converted is  calculated  by dividing
                  $25,000 by the "conversion  price," which is the lesser of the
                  closing  bid  price  on the  date of  subscription,  or  sixty
                  percent (60%) of the average closing bid price for a period of
                  three  (3)  trading  days  immediately  preceding  the date of
                  conversion.  The conversion price may be adjusted from time to
                  time by the Board of Directors as set forth in the Articles of
                  Incorporation.  No  fractional  shares  will  be  issued  upon
                  conversion,  instead  the  Company  will pay cash equal to the
                  fair value of the Class A Common  Stock as  determined  by the
                  Board of  Directors.  Pursuant  to the  terms of the  Series A
                  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  the  Company may not amend its
                  Articles of Incorporation in any manner which would materially
                  alter or change the powers,  preferences, or special rights of
                  the Series A Convertible Preferred  shareholders,  without the
                  approval  of  such  amendment  by  two-thirds   (2/3)  of  the
                  outstanding  shares of Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock,
                  voting  together as a class.  Also,  the Company is limited in
                  its redemption,  retirement,  purchase,  or acquisition of any
                  class or series of common stock, and the issuance of any class
                  or equity securities. The Company's Articles of Incorporation,
                  which  describe  in detail the  provisions  applicable  to the
                  Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  are  attached  as an
                  exhibit to this report.

                  The  purchaser of the Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,
                  Ocean Funding (BVI),  Ltd., is not a U.S. citizen,  therefore,
                  the Company issued these securities  pursuant to the exemption
                  provided by  Regulation S. Pursuant to the terms of the Common
                  Stock Purchase Warrant and the Series A Convertible  Preferred
                  Stock,  the Company has set aside and reserved  446,000 shares
                  of the Company's Class A Common Stock.

                  The  Common  Stock  Purchase  Warrant  entitles  the holder to
                  purchase up to 295,000 shares of the Company's  Class A Common
                  Stock.  The terms of the Common  Stock  Purchase  Warrant (the
                  "Warrant")  provide  that the  Company  will  reserve  295,000
                  shares of the Class A Common Stock for issuance  upon exercise
                  of the warrant. The Warrant could be exercised, until December
                  15, 1996, at a price of $1.70 per share,  and  thereafter at a
                  price of either $1.70 per share or sixty  percent (60%) of the
                  closing  bid for the  Class A Common  Stock.  The terms of the
                  Warrant also provide for an adjustment in the number of shares
                  the holder is entitled to purchase, and the purchase price, in
                  the event the Company  subdivides or combines its  outstanding
                  shares of common  stock.  Subsequent  to December,  1996,  the
                  holder  exercised its option to purchase  95,238 shares of the
                  Company's  common  stock for $ 0.525  per share  ($49,999.95).
                  This stock was issued pursuant to the  registration  exemption
                  provided by Regulation S.

                  The Board of Directors,  on October 28, 1996,  authorized  the
                  issuance of 130,000 shares of the Corporation's Class A Common
                  Stock to Continental Capital & Equity Corporation ("CCEC"), in
                  consideration for CCEC's services. Eighty thousand (80,000) of
                  these  shares  were  registered  on a Form S-8 filed  with the
                  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  The other 50,000 shares
                  were  not  registered,  based  on the  exemption  provided  by
                  Section 4(2) of the  Securities  Act.  Management  relied upon
                  this exemption  because of the  non-public  nature of the sale
                  and the sophistication of CCEC and its directors.

                  On December  16, 1996,  the Company  issued  30,000  shares of
                  Class A Common Stock to Dale  McMackin,  a shareholder  of the
                  Company,  at a price of $2.00 per share. The Company relied on
                  the  registration  exemption  provided by Section  4(2) of the
                  Securities Act, due to the non-public nature of the offering.

                  On  December  20,  1996,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors
                  authorized  the  issuance of 247,759  shares of Class A Common
                  Stock. These shares were issued as follows:

                           Employees received 2,250 shares as an annual bonus in
                           recognition  of loyal  service and as an incentive to
                           continue  with  the  Company.  These  employees  were
                           Arthur Barnes,  Ruth Barlow, Joe Camper,  Gary Wyatt,

                           Crown  Resources,  Inc.  ("Crown")  received  243,509
                           shares in payment of  $426,140.82  of debt.  Crown is
                           controlled  by James  Robert  Shaw, a director of the
                           Company.

                           Jerry W.  Carter,  a  director  of the  Company,  was
                           issued  2,000  shares  of Class A Common  Stock,  and
                           1,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,
                           when  authorized,   for  services   rendered  to  the
                           Corporation, valued at $18,500.

                           All of the Class A Common Stock shares were valued at
                           a $1.75 per share,  which was 70% of the  current bid
                           price of $2.50 per share.  The  Series B  Convertible
                           Preferred  Stock  will be valued at $15.00 per share.
                           The Company issued these shares without registration,
                           based upon the exemption  provided by Section 4(2) of
                           the   Securities   Act.   Management   believed  this
                           exemption  was  available  because of the  non-public
                           nature of the transactions and the shares were issued
                           to employees and directors.

         On December 10, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of
         10,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, for an aggregate
         price of $150,000. As of December 31, 1996,  subscriptions and payments
         for  2,918  shares  of Series B  Convertible  Preferred  Stock had been
         received by the Company,  including  the 1,000 shares which were issued
         to Jerry W. Carter, as previously  mentioned.  However,  as of December
         31,  1996,  the Company had not filed an  amendment  to the Articles of
         Incorporation  to authorize the Series B Convertible  Preferred  Stock.
         The payments which were received for the Series B Convertible Preferred
         Stock have been  accounted for as equity  investments in Class A Common
         Shares,  until  such time as the  Company  is  authorized  to issue the
         Series B Convertible  Preferred Stock. The Company intends to offer and
         sell the Series B Convertible  Preferred  Stock under the terms of Rule
         506 of  Regulation  D. The  Company  believes  that the sales  prior to
         December 31, 1996, may qualify for the registration  exemption provided
         by Section  4(2) given the  non-public  nature of the offering and that
         the  subscribers  are current  shareholders  of the  Company,  with the
         exception  of  Jerry  W.  Carter,  who is a  director  of the  Company.
         Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Convertible  Preferred Stock, the
         Company  has set aside and  reserved  100,000  shares of Class A Common
         Stock.

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         The  business  and  affairs of this  Corporation  shall be managed by a
Board of Directors which shall have all authority  granted to it by the Colorado
Corporation  Code. The number of directors may from time to time be increased or
decreased in such manner as shall be provided by the Bylaws of this corporation.
So long as the number of directors  shall be less than three,  no shares of this
corporation may be issued and held of record by more shareholders than there are
directors.  Any shares issued in violation of this  paragraph  shall be null and
void. In the event there are less than three  directors,  this  provision  shall
also constitute a restriction on the transfer of shares.

         The initial  board of directors  of the  corporation  shall  consist of
three  directors,  and the names and addresses of the persons who shall serve as
directors  until  the  first  annual  meeting  of  shareholders  or until  their
successors are elected and shall qualify are:

                                            Denver, Colorado 80231

         James A Hesman                     1210 South Parker Road, Suite 200
                                            Denver, Colorado 80231

         Larry D. Harvey                    5290 DTC Parkway, Suite 150
                                            Englewood, Colorado 80111

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         The corporation  shall indemnify any person who is or was a director to
the maximum extent provided by statute.

         The  corporation  shall  indemnify any person who is or was an officer,
employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the maximum extent
provided by law, or to a greater  extent if consistent  with law and if provided
by resolution of the corporation's shareholders or directors, or in a contract.

         The  corporation  may purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director,  officer,  employee,  fiduciary or agent of the
corporation and who while a director,  officer, employee,  fiduciary or agent of
the  corporation,  is or was  serving  at the  request of the  corporation  as a
director,  officer, partner, trustee, employee,  fiduciary or agent of any other
foreign or  domestic  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust,  other
enterprise or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted

                                       -3-

against or incurred by him in any such  capacity or arising out of his status as
such,  whether  or not the  corporation  would have the power to  indemnify  him
against such liability under provisions of the statute.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                        LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY

         A director of the  corporation  shall not be  personally  liable to the
corporation  or its  shareholders  for monetary  damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director,  except for liability  (i) for any breach of the  director's
duty of  loyalty to the  corporation  or to its  shareholders,  (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) for acts specified under Section 7-5-114 of the Colorado
Corporation Code or any amended or successor  provision thereof, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the directors derived an improper  personal  benefit.  If
the  Colorado  Corporation  Code is  amended  after  this  Article is adopted to
authorize   corporate  action  further  eliminating  or  limiting  the  personal
liability of  directors,  then the  liability  of a director of the  corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest  extent  permitted by the Colorado
Corporation Code, as so amended.

         Any  repeal  or  modification   of  the  foregoing   paragraph  by  the
shareholders  of the  corporation  shall  not  adversely  affect  any  right  or
protection of a director of the corporation  existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                             CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

         The  officers,  directors  and  other  members  of  management  of this
corporation  shall be subject to the  doctrine of corporate  opportunities  only
insofar as it applies to business  opportunities  in which this  corporation has
expressed an interest as determined from time to time by the corporation's Board
of Directors as evidenced by resolutions appearing in the corporation's minutes.
When such areas of interest  are  delineated,  all such  business  opportunities
within  such areas of  interest  which come to the  attention  of the  officers,
directors and other members of management of this corporation shall be disclosed
promptly to this  corporation  and made  available to it. The Board of Directors
may reject any business opportunity  presented to it and thereafter any officer,
director or other member of management  may avail  himself of such  opportunity.
Until  such  time as this  corporation,  through  its  Board of  Directors,  has
designated  an area of interest,  the  officers,  directors and other members of
management of this corporation shall be free to engage in such areas of interest
on their  own and the  provisions  hereof  shall  not  limit  the  rights of any
officer, director or other member of management of this

                                       -4-

                                    EXHIBIT A

         Classic  Restaurants  International,  Inc. (the  "Corporation") adds to
Article II of its Articles of Incorporation the following:

         SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         The Corporation designates twenty (20) shares of its Preferred Stock as
Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred  Stock"),  stated
value  $25,000  per  share,   with  the  following  rights,   preferences,   and
limitations:

         Section  1.  NUMBER.  The  number of shares  constituting  the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be twenty (20).

         Section 2. DIVIDENDS. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not
be entitled to receive dividends.

         Section 3. REDEMPTION. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemable
by the Corporation twelve (12) months after issuance (the "Redemption Date") for
$25,000 per share.

         Section  4.  LIQUIDATION  RIGHTS.  In the  event  of any  voluntary  or
involuntary  liquidations,  dissolution,  or winding up of the Corporation,  the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the assets
of the  Corporation  $25,000  per  share,  which  shall be paid or set apart for
payment  before the  payment or setting  apart for payment of any amount for, or
the  distribution  of any assets of the  Corporation  to, the  holders of common
stock  or  any  other  class  of  equity  securities  in  connection  with  such
liquidation,  dissolution, or winding up. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock
shall rank on a parity with each other share of Series A Preferred  Stock,  with
respect to the  respective  preferential  amounts fixed for such series  payable
upon any distribution of assets by way of liquidation,  dissolution,  or winding
up of the Corporation.  After the payment or the setting apart of payment to the
holders of Series A  Preferred  Stock of the  preferential  amount so payable to
them,  the holders of common  shares shall be entitled to receive all  remaining
assets of the Corporation.  The Corporation covenants and agrees that so long as
the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall not issue any
equity securities with a liquidation preference senior to the Series A Preferred
Stock.

         Section 5. VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of the Series A Preferred  Stock
shall be  entitled  to vote with the  holders of the Class A Common  Stock.  The
holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number
of votes  equal to the number of shares of Class A Common  Stock into which such
share of Series A  Preferred  Stock  could be  converted  at the record date for
determination  of the shareholders  entitled to vote on such matters,  or, if no
such record date is  established,  at the date such vote is taken or any written
consent of shareholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all
other shares of the  Corporation  having general voting power and not separately
as a class.  Except as otherwise provided by law or provided herein, the holders
of the Series A Preferred  Stock shall not be entitled to vote  separately  as a
class.





                                       A-1

<PAGE>



         Section 6.  CONVERSION  RIGHTS.  The  holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

                  (a) RIGHT TO CONVERT.  Each share of Series A Preferred  Stock
shall be convertible without the payment of any additional  consideration by the
holder thereof and, at the option of the holder  thereof,  at any time following
the  expiration  of  the  Restrictive  Period,  as  herein  defined  below.  The
Restrictive  Period shall be a period of forty-five (45) days following the date
of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, which date shall be the same as the
Closing  Date as that  term is  defined  in the  Subscription  Agreement  by and
between the Corporation and the holder thereof (the  "Subscription  Agreement").
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible  into such number of
fully  paid  and  nonassessable  shares  of  Class  A  Common  Stock  as will be
determined  by  dividing  the  amount of $25,000 by the  Conversion  Price.  The
Conversion  Price is defined as the lesser of (i) the  closing  bid price of the
Corporation's  Class A Common  Stock on the date of signing of the  Subscription
Agreement (the "Signing Date," as defined in the Subscription Agreement) or (ii)
sixty percent  (60%) of the average  closing bid price for a period of three (3)
trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.  The Conversion Price
of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as provided below.

                  (b) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of the Series A
Preferred  Stock  shall be  entitled  to convert the same into shares of Class A
Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor,  duly
endorsed,  at the office of the  Corporation  or of any  transfer  agent for the
Series A  Preferred  Stock  and  shall  give  written  notice  (the  "Notice  of
Conversion")  to the  Corporation  at such  office that he elects to convert the
same. The Corporation  shall, as soon as practicable  thereafter,  but not later
than 5 days,  issue and  deliver at such  office to such  holder of the Series A
Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates  for the number of shares of Class
A Common Stock to which he shall be entitled.  The conversion date on the Notice
of  Conversion  submitted to the  Corporation  shall be the date of  conversion;
however,  if the Corporation  does not receive the Notice of Conversion from the
holder  within five (5) business  days of the  conversion  date on the Notice of
Conversion,  the date of  conversion  shall be  deemed  to have been the date on
which the Corporation  received the Notice of Conversion.  The person or persons
entitled  to  receive  the  shares of Class A Common  Stock  issuable  upon such
conversion  shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date.

                  (c) FRACTIONAL  SHARES.  In lieu of any  fractional  shares to
which the holder of Series A Preferred  Stock would  otherwise be entitled,  the
Corporation  shall pay cash equal to such fraction  multiplied by the fair value
of one share of Class A Common Stock as  determined by the board of directors of
the  Corporation.  The number of whole shares  issuable to each holder upon such
conversion  shall be  determined on the basis of the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of the total number of shares of Series A
Preferred  Stock of each  holder at the time of  converting  into Class A Common
Stock.

         (d) ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION  PRICE. The Conversion Price of the Series
A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  (i) If the  Corporation  shall issue any Class A Common  Stock
other than "Excluded  Stock," as defined below,  for a  consideration  per share
less than the Conversion  Price in effect  immediately  prior to the issuance of
such Class A Common Stock (excluding stock dividends,  subdivisions,  split-ups,
combinations,  dividends,  or recapitalizations which are covered by subsections
6(d)(iii),  (iv),  (v),  and (vi)  below),  then,  and in each  such  case,  the
Conversion Price in effect  immediately after each such issuance shall forthwith
(except as  provided  in this  Section  6(d) be adjusted to a price equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing:

                           (AA)     an amount equal to the sum of

                                    (xx) the  total  number of shares of Class A
                           Common  Stock  outstanding  (including  any shares of
                           Class A Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of the
                           Series A  Preferred  Stock,  or  deemed  to have been
                           issued pursuant to subdivision  (C)(2),  (3), and (4)
                           of this clause (i) but excluding shares issuable upon
                           the  exercise  of  outstanding  options  or  warrants
                           otherwise  deemed  to  be  outstanding   pursuant  to
                           subdivision  (C)(1) of this clause  (i))  immediately
                           prior to such issuance  multiplied by the  Conversion
                           Price in effect  immediately  prior to such issuance,
                           plus

                                    (yy)  the  consideration   received  by  the
                           Corporation upon such issuance, by

                           (BB) the  total  number  of  shares of Class A Common
                  Stock  outstanding  (including  any  shares  of Class A Common
                  Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock
                  or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subdivision  (C)(2),
                  (3), and (4) of this clause (i) but excluding  shares issuable
                  upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants otherwise
                  deemed to be  outstanding  pursuant to  subdivision  (C)(1) of
                  this clause (i)) immediately  after the issuance of such Class
                  A Common Stock.

Except to the limited extent provided for in clauses (C)(3) and (C)(4) below, no
adjustment of any  Conversion  Price pursuant to this  subsection  6(d)(i) shall
have the effect of increasing such Conversion  Price above the Conversion  Price
in  effect  immediately  prior  to such  adjustment.  For the  purposes  of this
subsection 6(d)(i), the following provisions shall be applicable:

                                    (A) In the case of the  issuance  of Class A
Common  Stock for cash,  the  consideration  shall be deemed to be the amount of
cash paid therefor after deducting any discounts or commissions paid or incurred
by the Corporation in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

                                    (B) In the case of the  issuance  of Class A
Common  Stock for a  consideration  in whole or in part  other  than  cash,  the
consideration  other than cash  shall be deemed to be the fair value  thereof as
determined  by the board of directors of the  Corporation,  in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting treatment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, at the time
of such  determination,  the Corporation's Class A Common Stock is traded in the
over-the-counter  market or on a national or regional securities exchange,  such
fair market value as  determined  by the board of  directors of the  Corporation
shall not exceed the aggregate  "Current Market Price" (as defined below) of the
shares of Class A Common Stock being issued.

                                    (C)  In the  case  of  the  issuance  of (i)
options to purchase or rights to subscribe  for Class A Common Stock (other than
Excluded Stock), (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable
for Class A Common  Stock  (other  than  Excluded  Stock),  or (iii)  options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable  securities
(other than Excluded Stock):

                                             (1) the aggregate maximum number of
shares of Class A Common  Stock  deliverable  upon  exercise of such  options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Class A Common Stock shall be deemed to have
been  issued  at  the  time  such  options  or  rights  were  issued  and  for a
consideration  equal to the consideration  (determined in the manner provided in
clauses (A) and (B) above),

                                       A-3

<PAGE>



if any,  received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights
plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the Class
A Common Stock covered thereby;

                                             (2) the aggregate maximum number of
shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for
any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options
to  purchase  or  rights  to  subscribe  for such  convertible  or  exchangeable
securities and  subsequent  conversion or exchange  thereof,  shall be deemed to
have been  issued at the time such  securities  were  issued or such  options or
rights were issued and for a consideration  equal to the consideration  received
by the  Corporation  for any such  securities  and  related  options  or  rights
(excluding  any  cash  received  on  account  of  accrued  interest  or  accrued
dividends),  plus the  additional  consideration,  if any, to be received by the
Corporation  upon the conversion or exchange of such  securities or the exercise
of any  related  options  or  rights  (the  consideration  in  each  case  to be
determined in the manner provided in clauses (A) and (B) above);

                                             (3) upon any  change in the  number
of shares of Class A Common Stock  deliverable upon exercise of any such options
or rights or  conversion  of or exchange for such  convertible  or  exchangeable
securities,  or upon any change in the minimum  purchase  price of such options,
rights,  or securities,  other than a change  resulting  from the  anti-dilution
provisions of such options,  rights,  or securities,  the Conversion Price shall
forthwith be recomputed to reflect such change; and

                                             (4) on the  expiration  date of any
such  options  or  rights,  the  termination  of any such  rights to  convert or
exchange or the  expiration of any options or right related to such  convertible
or exchangeable  securities,  the Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted
to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had the adjustment made upon the
issuance of such options,  rights,  convertible  or  exchangeable  securities or
options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the
case may be,  been  made upon the basis of the  issuance  of only the  number of
shares of Class A Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities which
remain in effect)  actually  issued upon the exercise of such options or rights,
upon the conversion or exchange of such  convertible or exchangeable  securities
or upon the  exercise of the options or rights  related to such  convertible  or
exchangeable securities, as the case may be.

                           (ii)     "Excluded Stock" shall mean:

                                    (A)  all  shares  of  Class A  Common  Stock
issued and  outstanding  on the date this  document  is filed with the  Colorado
Secretary of State;

                                    (B) all shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock
and the Class A Common Stock into which such shares are convertible;

                                    (C) any shares reissued after  repurchase by
the  Corporation  from  officers,  employees,  directors,  or  consultants  upon
termination of services as provided by the terms of stock repurchase  agreements
approved  by the  board of  directors  provided  such  shares  are  reissued  to
officers, employees, directors, or consultants pursuant to approval by the board
of directors of the Corporation; and

                                    (D)  all  shares  of  Class A  Common  Stock
issued or issuable in connection with capital asset leases or borrowings for the
acquisition of capital assets  pursuant to approval by the board of directors of

<PAGE>



                           (iii) If the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding  at any time after the date hereof is increased by a stock  dividend
payable in shares of Class A Common  Stock or by a  subdivision  or  split-up of
shares of Class A Common  Stock,  then, on the date such payment is made or such
change is effective,  the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be appropriately  decreased so that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable on  conversion  of any shares of the Series A Preferred  Stock shall be
increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

                           (iv) If the number of shares of Class A Common  Stock
outstanding  at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination  of
the outstanding  shares of Class A Common Stock,  then, on the effective date of
such combination,  the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
appropriately  increased  so that the  number of shares of Class A Common  Stock
issuable on  conversion  of any shares of the Series A Preferred  Stock shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

                           (v) In case  the  Corporation  shall  declare  a cash
dividend  upon its Class A Common Stock payable  otherwise  than out of retained
earnings or shall  distribute  to holders of its Class A Common  Stock shares of
its capital stock (other than Class A Common Stock),  stock, or other securities
of other persons,  evidences of indebtedness  issued by the Corporation or other
persons,  assets  (excluding  cash  dividends)  or options or rights  (excluding
options to purchase  and rights to  subscribe  for Class A Common Stock or other
securities  of the  Corporation  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for Class A
Common  Stock),  then, in each such case,  the holders of shares of the Series A
Preferred  Stock shall  concurrent  with the  distribution to holders of Class A
Common  Stock,  receive a like  distribution  based upon the number of shares of
Class  A  Common  Stock  into  which  such  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  is then
convertible.

                           (vi) In case,  at any time after the date hereof,  of
any  capital  reorganization  or  any  reclassification  of  the  stock  of  the
Corporation (other than as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up
or combination of shares),  or the  consolidation  or merger of the  Corporation
with or into another person (other than a  consolidation  or merger in which the
Corporation is the continuing  entity and which does not result in any change in
the  Class A  Common  Stock),  or of the  sale or  other  disposition  of all or
substantially  all the properties and assets of the  Corporation,  the shares of
Series A Preferred  Stock shall,  after such  reorganization,  reclassification,
consolidation,  merger, sale, or other disposition, be convertible into the kind
and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation
or otherwise to which such holder would have been entitled if immediately  prior
to such reorganization, reclassification,  consolidation, merger, sale, or other
disposition  he had converted  his shares of such Series A Preferred  Stock into
Class A Common stock.  The provisions of this clause (vi) shall  similarly apply
to  successive  reorganizations,  reclassifications,   consolidations,  mergers,
sales, or other dispositions.

                           (vii) All calculations  under this Section 6 shall be
made to the  nearest  whole cent or to the nearest  one  hundredth  (1/100) of a
share, as the case may be.

                           (viii) For the purpose of any computation pursuant to
this Section 6(d), the "Current  Market Price" at any date of one share of Class
A Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the highest reported bid and
the lowest  reported offer prices on the preceding  business day as furnished by
the National Quotation Bureau,  Incorporated (or equivalent recognized source of
quotations);  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that if the Class A Common Stock is not traded
in such  manner  that the  quotations  referred  to in this  clause  (viii)  are
available  for the period  required  hereunder,  Current  Market  Price shall be
determined  in good faith by the board of directors of the  Corporation,  but if
challenged by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock, then as determined by an independent appraiser selected by the

                                       A-5

<PAGE>



board of directors of the  Corporation,  the cost of such  appraisal to be borne
equally by the Corporation and the challenging parties.

                  (e) MINIMAL ADJUSTMENTS. No adjustment in the Conversion Price
need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price
of less than $0.01. Any adjustment of less than $0.01 which is not made shall be
carried  forward  and  shall  be  made  at the  time of and  together  with  any
subsequent  adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of
$0.01 or more in the Conversion Price.

                  (f) NO  IMPAIRMENT.  The  Corporation  will  not  through  any
reorganization,  recapitalization,  transfer of assets,  consolidation,  merger,
dissolution,  issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,  avoid
or seek to  avoid  the  observance  or  performance  of any of the  terms  to be
observed or  performed  hereunder by the  Corporation,  but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying  out of all the  provisions  of this Section 6
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
to protect the  Conversion  Rights of the  holders of Series A  Preferred  Stock
against impairment.

                  (g) CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENT.  Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or  readjustment  of the Conversion  Rate pursuant to this Section 6,
the  Corporation  at its expense  shall  promptly  compute  such  adjustment  or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of Series A Preferred  Stock a certificate  setting forth such adjustment
or  readjustment  and showing in detail the acts upon which such  adjustment  or
readjustment is based. The Corporation  shall,  upon written request at any time
of any holder of Series A Preferred  Stock,  furnish or cause to be furnished to
such  holder  a  like  certificate   setting  forth  (i)  such  adjustments  and
readjustments,  (ii) the  Conversion  Rate of such series at the time in effect,
and (iii) the number of shares of Class A Common  Stock and the amount,  if any,
of other  property  which at the time would be received  upon the  conversion of
such holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

                  (h)  RESERVATION  OF  STOCK  ISSUABLE  UPON  CONVERSION.   The
Corporation  shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued  shares of Class A Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting
the  conversion  of the shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock such  number of its
shares  of Class A Common  Stock as shall  from  time to time be  sufficient  to
effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and
if at any time the number of  authorized  but unissued  shares of Class A Common
Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the  conversion of all then  outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred  Stock,  the  Corporation  will take such corporate
action as may, in the  opinion of its  counsel,  be  necessary  to increase  its
authorized but unissued  shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares
as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

                  (i) NO REISSUANCE OF CONVERTED  SHARES.  No shares of Series A
Preferred  Stock which have been  converted  into Class A Common Stock after the
original  issuance  thereof  shall ever again be reissued and all such shares so
converted shall upon such conversion cease to be a part of the authorized shares
of the Corporation.

                  (j) NOTICES OF RECORD DATE.  In the event of any taking by the
Corporation  of a record  of the  holders  of any  class of  securities  for the
purpose of  determining  the  holders  thereof  who are  entitled to receive any
dividend  (other  than a cash  dividend)  or other  distribution,  any rights to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other  securities or property or to receive any other right, the Corporation
shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred  Stock at least twenty (20) days
prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record
is to be taken for

                                       A-6

<PAGE>


the  purpose  of such  dividend  or  distribution  or right,  and the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution, or right.

                  (k) NOTICES.  Any notice  required by the  provisions  of this
Section 6 to be given to holders of shares of Series A Preferred  Stock shall be
deemed given if  deposited  in the United  States  mail,  postage  prepaid,  and
addressed to each holder of record at his address  appearing on the books of the
Corporation.

         Section 7.  REACQUIRED  SHARES.  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
acquired  by the  Corporation  in any manner  whatsoever  shall be  retired  and
canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof and may not be reissued.

         Section 8. RANK. The Series A Preferred  Stock shall rank, with respect
to the  distribution of assets,  senior to any and all other series of any other
class of Preferred Stock.

         Section 9. AMENDMENT.  The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation
shall not be amended in any manner  which would  materially  alter or change the
powers,  preferences, or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to
affect them adversely  without the  affirmative  vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding  shares of Series A Preferred Stock,  voting
together as a single class.

         Section 10.  PROTECTIVE  PROVISIONS.  In  addition to any other  rights
provided  by law,  so long as  shares  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  shall be
outstanding,  the Corporation  shall not, without  obtaining the vote or written
consent  of the  holders  of a majority  of the  outstanding  shares of Series A
Preferred Stock:

                  (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to,
the  Corporation's  Articles of  Incorporation  or bylaws if such  action  would
materially alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges, or powers of, or
the restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Series A Preferred Stock;

                  (b)   authorize  or  issue  any  class  or  series  of  equity
securities  having any  preference or priority as to voting or  distribution  of
assets upon liquidation, merger or otherwise which is superior to or on a parity
with any such preference or priority of the Series A Preferred Stock; or

                  (c) apply any of its  assets  to the  redemption,  retirement,
purchase, or acquisition,  directly or indirectly, of any shares of any class or
series of common stock,  except pursuant to Section 4 and except from employees,
advisors,  officers,  directors,  and  consultants  of, and  persons  performing
services for, this  Corporation  or its  subsidiaries  on terms  approved by the
board of directors upon termination of employment or association.

         Section  11.  EQUITY   SECURITIES.   "Equity   Securities"  shall  mean
securities  of any class of stock,  whether  preferred  or common,  and any debt
securities  which are convertible  into security of any class of stock,  whether
preferred or common.

         k) the financial statements provided to the Purchaser pursuant to
         Paragraph 6(a) of this Agreement are prepared according to GAAP and
         accurately reflect the assets, liabilities and financial condition of
         Prado and Divine as of the date(s) thereof.

         10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER. The Purchaser
represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement, and as the Closing
Date, the following:

         a) the Purchaser is a validly formed corporation in good standing under
         the laws of the State of Colorado, and all franchise taxes and fees
         required to maintain the Purchaser in good standing have been paid;

         b) the Purchaser is authorized to execute, deliver and perform this
         Agreement according to its terms.

         11. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. In the event of a termination of this
Agreement due to the exercise by Purchaser of its right to terminate the
Agreement in paragraph 6 herein, then neither party shall have any liability to
the other, including particularly for any incidental or consequential damages
which each may have incurred or suffer as consequence of the party's entry into
this Agreement, and the Earnest Deposit shall be promptly refunded to the
Purchaser in full. In view of the difficulty of determining Seller's damages in
the event of default by Purchaser if Closing does not occur because of
Purchaser's default (as distinguished from the exercise by Purchaser of an
express right to cancel or terminate as provided in paragraph 6 herein or the
failure of any of the conditions to Closing to be satisfied or waived), Seller
shall be entitled to retain the Earnest Deposit as full and complete liquidated
damages, and not as a penalty and, thereupon, no party shall have any further
obligation or liability hereunder nor any other remedy at law or in equity. If
the Closing does not occur on account of Seller's default by (i) failing to
provide any documents reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) voluntarily encumbering or causing title
defects to occur after the Agreement Date and failing to remove or satisfy such
encumbrances or title defects on or before Closing, or (iii) breaching any
warranty or representation set forth herein in a material respect, then the
Earnest Deposit shall be promptly refunded to the Purchaser and the Purchaser
shall be entitled to pursue any and all remedies afforded by law or in equity,
including but not limited to: (1) the right to have this Agreement specifically
enforced against Seller, and (2) the right to sue Seller for damages resulting
to Purchaser.

         12.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         a) NO WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of any party in
         exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy arising hereunder
         shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
         exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or
         future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
         privilege or remedy. No notice to or demand on any party in any case
         shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
         other circumstances.

         b) MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
         of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

         c) HEADINGS; INTERPRETATION. Section headings have been inserted in
         this Agreement as a matter of convenience and for reference only and it
         is agreed that such section headings are

         signed by all parties hereto.
