                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of
Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31,
1996 included in the Annual Report as filed on Form 10-KSB with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission.

  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

  The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year
ending October 31, 1997.

NOTE (A) - The Company:
- ---------------------- 

     UC Television Network Corp. ("the Company") is a broadcasting company which
owns and operates the College Television Network ("CTN"), a proprietary
interactive commercial television network operating on college and university
campuses, through single-channel television systems placed primarily in campus
dining facilities and student unions.  Substantially all of the Company's
revenues are derived from advertising displayed on CTN.  At July 31, 1997, CTN
was installed or contracted for installation at approximately 250 locations in
various colleges and universities throughout the United States.

     The Company's revenues are affected by the pattern of seasonality common to
most school-related businesses.  Historically, the Company generates a
significant portion of its revenues during the period of September through May
and substantially less revenues during the summer months when colleges and
universities do not hold regular classes.


NOTE (B) - Private Placement:
- ---------------------------- 

     Pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement dated as of April 25, 1997
between the Company and U-C Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Purchaser"), for an aggregate purchase price, net of issuance
costs,  of $15,424,789, the Company issued to the Purchaser 29,090,909 shares of
Common Stock and a Class C Warrant to purchase 3,863,662 shares of Common Stock
for $.55 per share.  In addition, the Company and the Purchaser entered into
certain equity protection agreements to protect the Purchaser's percentage
ownership interest in the Company from dilution from third party exercises of
outstanding warrants and options to acquire the Company's Common Stock.  Such
agreements provide the purchaser with the right to acquire additional shares of
the Company's Common Stock.
<PAGE>
 
NOTE (C) - Commitments and Contingencies:
- ---------------------------------------- 

  On July 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with 360, Inc. to
develop and execute marketing and promotional programs for the Company.  The
initial term of the agreement is one year with fees aggregating $390,000 during
that period.  After the initial term, the agreement will continue on a month-to-
month basis and may be canceled by either party upon 60 days written notice.

     The Company executed an equipment rental agreement with Hughes Network
Systems on November 6, 1996.  The agreement calls for the installation of 200
systems for receiving satellite transmissions with payments aggregating $328,032
over a three year period.  At the end of such period, the Company may purchase
the equipment for $1.00.  A total of $227,084 has been classified as capital
lease obligations, representing equipment placed into service through July 31,
1997.

  In connection with the acquisition of certain assets, the Company agreed to
pay two former shareholders of the seller an aggregate of $100,000, one-half
being payable at such time the Company's net pre-tax income equals at least
$500,000, and the balance being payable at such time as the Company has an
additional $500,000 in net pre-tax earnings.

  Sales increased to $149,083 and $1,810,508 for the three and nine-month
periods ended July 31, 1997, respectively, versus $77,000 and $1,196,213 for the
comparable periods last year.  Increased commitments from existing customers
combined with new customers were the primary sources of this increase.  The
Company anticipates continued sales growth during the year ending October 31,
1997 ("Fiscal 1997"), with advertising commitments for Fiscal 1997 as of August
31, 1997 at approximately 50 percent above commitments for Fiscal 1996 at the
same date last year.

  The cost of sales increased to $561,111 and $1,466,157 for the three and nine-
month periods ended July 31, 1997, respectively, from $294,792 and $972,162 for
the comparable periods last year.  The increase over the prior year is primarily
attributed to increased depreciation expense relating to the retrofit of
existing systems to utilize satellite transmission technology and preventative
maintenance performed at all sites during the summer of 1997.  Additional
programming costs were also incurred during Fiscal 1997 with the commencement of
news and sports programming provided by Turner Private Networks, Inc. in April
1997.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1,132,374 and
$2,563,413 for the three and nine-month periods ended July 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to $741,532 and $2,096,885 for the comparable periods
last year.  The Company has added additional personnel during the three month
period ended July 31, 1997 as part of its effort to increase its network and
advertiser base.  A significant portion of the increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 1997
was related to additional payroll, benefits and other associated expenditures as
a result of the increase in employees.  In addition, fees and commissions based
on a percentage of sales, generally paid to agencies representing advertisers on
CTN, increased during the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 1997.
These increases were directly attributed to increased sales over the same
periods.

  Interest expense related to an equipment rental agreement with Hughes Network
Systems totaled $948 for the 3rd Quarter 1997 and $7,634 for the nine months
ended July 31, 1997.  Interest income increased to $206,136 and $236,305 for the
three and nine-month periods ended July 31, 1997, respectively, as compared to
$31,925 and $42,911 for the comparable periods last year.  The increase is
related to proceeds from the private placement described below.

  The net loss increased to $1,339,214 and $1,990,391 for the three and nine-
month periods ended July 31, 1997, up from $927,399 and $1,829,923 for the
comparable periods last year.  The Company has incurred substantial losses since
commencement of its operations and anticipates that such losses will continue in
Fiscal 1997.  In order to reach the stage where the Company is profitable, the
Company will need to continue to expand into additional college dining
facilities.  The Company plans to use the proceeds of the private placement
described below to expand its network and advertiser base.  To achieve these
objectives, the Company has added additional personnel and expects to incur
additional costs for expanded marketing efforts, improved programming and
equipment for new locations in advance of recognizing additional revenues.
Management anticipates the financial results to be impacted by these additional
expenditures through at least the end of the current fiscal year.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

  At July 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $14,942,356.  At such
date, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $15,134,920.

  Cash used in operations decreased to $940,578 during the nine months ended
July 31, 1997 from $980,456 for the comparable period last year.  The impact of
increased sales during the nine month period ended July 31, 1997 was
substantially offset by additional expenditures related to personnel added as
part of the Company's effort to expand its network and advertiser base.
<PAGE>
 
  Purchases of property and equipment increased to $689,236 during the nine
months ended July 31, 1997 from $240,016 for the comparable period last year due
to the ongoing conversion of CTN to a satellite delivered network.

     The Company executed an equipment rental agreement with Hughes Network
Systems on November 6, 1996.  The agreement calls for the installation of 200
systems for receiving satellite transmissions with payments aggregating $328,032
over a three year period.  At the end of such period, the Company may purchase
the equipment for $1.00.  A total of $227,084 has been classified as capital
lease obligations, representing equipment placed into service through July 31,
1997.

  Pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement dated as of April 25, 1997
between the Company and U-C Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Purchaser"), for an aggregate purchase price of $16,200,000, the
Company issued to the Purchaser 29,090,909 shares of Common Stock and a Class C
Warrant to purchase 3,863,662 shares of Common Stock for $.55 per share.  In
addition, the Company and the Purchaser entered into certain equity protection
agreements to protect the Purchaser's percentage ownership interest in the
Company from dilution from third party exercises of outstanding warrants and
options to acquire the Company's Common Stock.  Such agreements provide the
purchaser with the right to acquire additional shares of the Company's Common
Stock.  The net proceeds of this private placement of $15,424,789 is expected to
be used, among other things, to expand the network and the advertiser base by
adding additional personnel, improving the programming shown on the network and
acquiring additional equipment for new locations.  Management believes that this
private placement will be sufficient to finance the planned expansion, however
there is no assurance that the Company will achieve its anticipated revenue
levels or profitability.
