                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1999
                                   (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 transition period ended December 31, 1998 as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 IMAX  Entertainment  Complex.  The
Complex  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.  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 which
is also in the mall.  In 1994,  the company  began selling gift items related to
the films which were being exhibited in the theater or which are  representative
of the  lifestyle of the Ozark's.  This  operation has evolved into the Legacy &
Legends Gift Shop,  which is one of the Company's  most  profitable  and fastest
growing  departments.  Seventeen other shops and kiosks are currently  leased to
third parties.  In December 1997,  the Company  installed a new 35mm  projection
system,  in  addition  to its IMAX giant  screen  projection  system,  and began
showing  feature  35mm films each  evening in addition to the IMAX giant  screen
film presentations.

In March 1998, the Company  completed the construction of a 210 seat theater for
live  performances  in its Branson  complex.  The Mike Radford's - Remember When
Show and Jimmie Rodgers Remembers perform daily in this theater.

During the quarter ending September 30, 1998, the Company  completed an addition
to the McFarlain's  restaurant that increased seating by 133 people. This is the
second  expansion  of the  restaurant  during  the last two and a half years and
brings the total seating to over 600 people.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 decreased 9 percent to $578,066 as
compared to $635,435 for the same quarter of the previous  year.  This  decrease
was primarily as a result of a decrease in theater and restaurant revenue due to
severe weather conditions in early January.

Direct  expense for the quarter  ended  March 31, 1999  decreased  15 percent to
$540,829 as compared to $639,990 for the same quarter of the previous year. This
decrease was primarily as a result of a decrease in revenues.

The  operating  loss for the  reporting  quarter  was  $463,272  as  compared to
$519,093 in the same quarter of the prior year.

General  and  administrative  expense  for the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1999
decreased 28 percent to $200,562 as compared to $277,406 for the same quarter of
the previous year.  This  difference was primarily as a result of the accrual of
management  bonuses  during the first  quarter of 1998 for  calendar  year 1997.
Management bonuses were accrued during December of 1998 for calendar year 1998.

Interest expense was $82,101 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 as compared to
$84,422 for the comparable period of the prior year.

The net loss for the  reporting  quarter was $541,978  compared to a net loss of
$596,285  in the same  quarter  of the  previous  year.  It should be noted that
non-cash expenses equaled  approximately  $37,000 per month. Thus, the cash flow
used in operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was
approximately $430,900 and $485,285 respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1999 current assets totaled $491,636,  while current liabilities
totaled $708,193. The Company's current ratio at March 31, 1999 was .69 to 1.

The Company maintains a $200,000 line of credit facility with a commercial bank.
No borrowings  were made under the line of credit during the reporting  quarter.
This  credit  facility  is  secured  by a second  deed of  trust on the  theater
complex.

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.

The Company is in the process of ensuring that its internal computer systems are
Year  2000  compliant.  The  Company  does not  expect  any  material  Year 2000
compliance issues to arise related to its primary internal business  information
systems.  With respect to third-party  providers  whose services are critical to
the Company,  the Company intends to monitor the efforts of such  providers,  as
they become Year 2000  compliant.  Management is presently not aware of any Year
2000 issues that have been  encountered by any such  third-party  providers that
could materially affect the Company's operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
there can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will not  experience  operational
difficulties  as a result of Year 2000 issues,  whether  arising out of internal
operations,  or caused by third-party  service providers,  which individually or
collectively could have an adverse impact on business  operations or require the
Company to incur unanticipated expenses to remedy such problems.
