                             NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                       CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The pro forma condensed combined historical 
financial statements are based on the assumptions that the acquisition of 
Susan Burrowes, Ltd. ("SBL") was effected by American CinemaStores, Inc. 
("Company") providing $1,000,000 for working capital and 200,000 shares of 
the Company's common stock to the shareholder of SBL as the acquisition 
considerations, in exchange for all of the outstanding, capital stock of the 
SBL, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

2.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS OF THE TARGET COMPANIES. The Stockholder of SBL
had elected under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
to include the income of SBL as their own for income tax purposes. For pro forma
purposes, SBL has been treated as C-corporations. Considering the consolidated
tax loss of the Company, no taxes have been provided for. 

3.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENT. The decrease in cash for
the combined company is as result the Company providing $1,000,000 for working
capital to SBL, as part of the acquisition agreement, as well as investment and
legal fees of approximately $50,000.  

4.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENT.  A revaluation of 
fixed assets whereby a higher valuation for such assets has been established 
resulted from the review of the recent audit and purchase price allocation.

5.  GOODWILL - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENT. An analysis of the components of goodwill
is being made to determine the appropriate asset accounts to which such
components should be allocated. The resulting amount of goodwill will be
amortized over a period of 15 years.

6.  COMMON STOCK - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENT. The amount consist of (1) 200,000
shares issued upon the acquisition, less the elimination of the Target
Companies' common stock upon combination. 

7.  ADDITIONAL PAID IN CAPITAL - Accounts for the $1,000,000 working capital and
the 200,000 shares of common stock consideration for the acquisition.

8.  RETAINED EARNINGS - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENT. The amount consist of the
elimination of SBL's retained earnings upon combination.

9.  COST OF SALES AND SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - 
Adjustments to reflect reduced payroll expenses as a result of layoffs and 
terminations of more than 40 people which have taken place with SBLand the 
Company as well as well as the Company's corporate restructure which has 
resulted in reduced rent, utilities and other overhead expenses.

10.  INTEREST EXPENSE - Adjustment reflecting the virtual pay-off of factor bank
debt upon the acquisition.

11. NON-RECURRING EXTRAORDINARY ITEM - These charges were of a non-recurring
nature and should not be considered on a go forward pro forma basis.
