                   Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                March 31, 1998
                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

International Tourist Entertainment Corporation (the "Company") commenced 
operations in October 1993.  The accompanying interim condensed financial 
statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair 
presentation of the results for such periods.  The results of operations for 
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the respective 
full year.  These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's 
annual report of form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1997 as filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.



NOTE 2.  NET INCOME OR LOSS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128).  SFAS 
128 became effective for financial statements with interim and annual periods 
ending after December 15, 1997.  Accordingly, the Company has adopted SFAS 128 
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

SFAS 128 establishes a different method of computing earnings (loss) per share 
than was required under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 
No. 15.  Under SFAS 128, entities with publicly held common stock are required 
to present basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per 
share.  Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings (loss) for the 
period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting
period.  Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings (loss) for the 
period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting
period and to each share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance
of common share equivalents outstanding during the period.  

Prior periods have been restated for presentation in accordance with SFAS 128.

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

ITEC Attractions (the trade name of the Company) began operations with the 
opening of its giant screen theater and mall facility in Branson, Missouri in 
October, 1993.  This facility is known as the OZARKS DISCOVERY IMAX THEATER AND
MALL (also as IMAX Entertainment Complex.)  It contains a 532 seat IMAX theater
with a screen that is 62 feet tall and 83 feet wide.  In addition, the 
facility includes an enclosed shopping mall with approximately 22,000 square 
feet of retail space, all of which is leased.  MCFARLAIN'S, a family restaurant
in the mall, has been owned and operated by the Company since May 1, 1995.  
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company acquired assets to begin 
the operation of McFarlain's Back Porch, an express deli and bakery in the 
mall. Seventeen other shops and kiosks are currently leased to third parties. 
One kiosk in the mall is owned and operated by the Company.  In December 1997, 
the Company installed a new 35mm projection system, in addition to its IMAX 
giant screen projection system, and began showing feature films each evening.  
 
In March 1998, the Company completed the construction of a 210 seat theater for
live performances in its Branson complex.  The Mike Radford - Remember When 
Show performs daily in the theater.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased 17 percent to $605,171 
as compared to $517,050 for the same quarter of the previous year.  Revenues 
for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 increased 26 percent to 
$4,193,101 compared to $3,317,865 in the prior year period.  The Company 
reported revenue increases in every segment of its operation, with the largest 
increases coming from the McFarlain's restaurant operation and from ticket 
sales due to the addition of the 35mm feature films.  Revenues also increased 
due to the addition of the McFarlain's Back Porch deli and bakery.     

Costs and expenses increased 32 percent to $1,124,536 for the reporting quarter
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to expenses of $849,341, for the comparable 
period of the previous year.  Costs and expenses for the nine-month period 
ended March 31, 1998 increased 32 percent to $4,219,421 compared to $3,206,571 
in the prior year period.  Costs and expenses increased due to several 
factors including license fees for 35mm feature films which exceeded $40,000, 
increased labor including bonuses paid to management in the amount of $58,500 
pursuant to the Company's Plan of Reorganization, start-up expenses associated 
with the Remember When Show, increased depreciation expenses due to additions 
made to the facility, expenses of moving the Company's offices and headquarters
to Branson, Missouri which exceeded $20,000, expenses related to public 
compliance and investor relations which did not exist the previous year, the 
increased costs related to the increased level of business generated at the 
theater and McFarlain's Restaurant, and the addition of the McFarlain's Back 
Porch deli. 
<PAGE>
The operating loss for the reporting quarter was $519,365 as compared to 
$332,291 in the same quarter of the prior year.  The operating loss for the 
nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 was $26,320 compared to operating income
of  $111,294 in the previous year period.  The increase in expenses mentioned 
above is the primary cause of the increase in operating losses.  

Interest expense decreased to $84,421 for the quarter and $254,140 for the 
nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $199,338 and $576,788 
respectively in the comparable periods of the prior year due to the 
implementation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization which relieved the 
Company of approximately $2.2 million of long-term debt. 

The net loss for the reporting quarter was $596,285 compared to a net loss of 
$526,002 in the same quarter of the previous year.  The net loss for the 
nine-month period was $253,905, as compared to  $448,176 in the prior year 
period.  The increase in net loss for the reporting period was due to the 
increased direct operating costs and SG&A expenses described above, some of 
which are non-recurring in nature.  It should be noted that non-cash expenses 
equaled approximately $48,000 per month.  Thus, the cash flow from 
operations for the nine-month period was approximately $222,635.

The nature of the entertainment business in Branson is seasonal in nature.  The
period of January through March is very slow with little tourist traffic.  The 
Company has determined that it is practical to remain open during this period 
because the additional costs of being open for business are covered by 
revenue.   

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1998 current assets totaled $621,267,  while current 
liabilities totaled $506,777.  The Company's current ratio at March  31, 1998 
was 1.2 to 1. 

During the reporting quarter, the Company secured a $200,000 line of credit 
facility with a commercial bank.  No borrowings were made under the line of 
credit during the reporting quarter.

Going forward, the Company expects to be able to finance its operations and 
immediate capital requirements from currently available capital, cash flow from
operations, and available sources of borrowings including the line of credit.
