PART I
ITEMS 1 & 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
BUSINESS
Malibu Entertainment Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") owns and operates
multiple-attraction entertainment centers. The Company's original concept was
the family entertainment center ("FEC"), which generally included a combination
of several entertainment attractions at a single location such as miniature golf
courses, go-karts, bumper boats, batting cages, video game rooms, souvenir
concession stands and, in some parks, scaled grand prix style racetracks
utilizing the Company's proprietary Malibu Grand Prix race cars. As of March 27,
1998, the Company owned, leased or had a majority ownership interest in 29
traditional FECs, one of which was held for sale. In 1997, the Company
introduced its new SpeedZone concept. SpeedZones are primarily designed for
young adults and feature the Company's Malibu Grand Prix racing attraction,
go-kart-type racing attractions and the Company's new "Top Eliminator" dragster
attraction, together with a restyled clubhouse, miniature golf course, video
game room and meeting and party rooms to complement the racing attractions. The
implementation of the SpeedZone concept began in 1997 with the re-development
and opening, at the end of June, of the new SpeedZones in Dallas and Los Angeles
and a scaled-down version in Atlanta.
The new SpeedZones have been endorsed and promoted by six of the top
professional race car drivers in the world -- NASCAR drivers Mark Martin and
Jeff Burton, CART drivers Al Unser, Jr., Jimmy Vasser and Bryan Herta and a top
fuel drag racing winner on the NHRA circuit, Kristen Powell. In addition to
arranging such endorsements and promotions, the Company has engaged these race
car drivers to advise the company in providing the most realistic and
competitive racing experience possible for SpeedZone guests. Revenues for the
last six months of 1997 for the three SpeedZone parks were $3.8 million for
Dallas, $4.7 million for Los Angeles and $2.3 million for Atlanta, for a total
of $10.8 million, as compared to $0.9 million, $1.4 million and $1.0 million,
respectively, for a total of $3.3 million, for the same periods in 1996 when
these parks operated as FECs, a 227% overall increase in revenues for six
months. The initial focus on concept design and development was followed by the
implementation of operational service standards designed to assure the highest
possible level of guest satisfaction. Since then, the Company has focused on
effective group sales programs and other profit improvement programs.
The Company's primary focus in 1997 was the re-development and opening of
the three new SpeedZones, the repositioning of its base of traditional FECs
(which included the sale or closure of 16 FECs), redevelopment of the Company's
corporate infrastructure, including the downsizing and relocation of its
corporate headquarters to Dallas from Atlanta, and other initiatives designed to
improve the Company's results of operations. In 1998, the Company intends to
seek to obtain additional sources of debt or equity capital to provide funds to
develop additional SpeedZone parks once the concept has been proven and refined
and to further improve the results of operations of its SpeedZones and FECs. See
"Item 7 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources".
PROPERTIES
As of March 27, 1998, the Company operated 29 FECs located in 10 states.
One of the Company's operating FECs was held for sale. Excluding the FEC held
for sale, 11 of the Company's remaining FECs were owned, 15 were leased under
agreements expiring on various dates from 1998 to 2019 and two were owned by
limited partnerships in which the Company had majority ownership interests.
Payments under these leases totaled $4.0 million in 1997. The FECs not currently
held for sale are located in California (4), Florida (4), Georgia (3), New
Jersey (1), Nevada (1), Ohio (3), Oregon (1), South Carolina (1), Colorado (1)
and Texas (9), generally in large metropolitan areas and the Partnership FECs
are located in California and Texas.
The Company is currently operating one FEC which the Company has contracted
to sell and has two leased sites and two owned sites that have been closed for
disposition. The Company's total reserves for the sale or closure of these parks
was $1.1 million as of December 31, 1997. The FECs held for sale or closure
2
<PAGE> 3
were carried on the Company's books at $3.0 million as of December 31, 1997.
While the Company presently intends to seek to sell or discontinue these assets
in an orderly fashion during 1998, there can be no assurance that it will be
able to do so.
The Company also leases other properties incident to its business, none of
which is material.
CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report (including the documents incorporated by reference herein)
contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) and information relating to
the Company that are based on the beliefs of the management of the Company, as
well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the
management of the Company. When used in this report, the words "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend" and similar expressions, as they
relate to the Company or its management, identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements reflect the current views of the Company or its management with
respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions relating to the operations and results of operations of the Company
and the success of the Company's business plan, including as a result of the
availability, terms and cost of capital resources; competitive factors and
pricing pressures; general economic conditions; the failure of market demand for
the types of entertainment opportunities the Company provides or plans to
provide in the future and for family entertainment in general to be commensurate
with management's expectations or past experience; impact of present and future
laws; ongoing need for capital improvements; changes in operating expenses;
adverse changes in governmental rules or policies; changes in demographics and
other factors. Should one or more of these assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results or outcomes may vary materially from those described herein as
anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. Accordingly,
shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Due to the nature of the attractions at the Company's parks, the Company
has been, and will likely continue to be, subject to a significant number of
personal injury lawsuits, certain of which may involve claims for substantial
damages. The Company also is from time to time a party to other claims and legal
proceedings, and is subject to environmental, zoning and other legal
requirements. As of the date of this Report, the Company does not believe that
any such matter is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations. However, there
necessarily can be no assurance in this regard or that the Company will not be
subject to material claims or legal proceedings or requirements in the future.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders
during the fourth quarter of 1997.

(2) Operating expenses include non-recurring charges including losses on
impairment of assets and write downs of investments in affiliates of $20.9
million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1997

December 31, 1996. See "Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a discussion of other
non-recurring charges.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Noncomparability
Among other transactions and actions, during 1997, the Company opened the
three new SpeedZones mid-year, closed four FECs, disposed of 12 FECs, recorded a
$20.9 million charge for impairment of assets and a $0.6 million write down of
investments in affiliates and a $2.4 million charge for relocation of its
corporate headquarters, recorded a charge of $1.9 million for environmental
remediation costs and issued 19.4 million shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of certain convertible debt securities.
Similarly, during 1996, the Company effected a recapitalization (see Note 2
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), recorded a $21.0 million charge
for impairment of assets and a $2.6 million write down of investments in
affiliates, recorded a charge of $1.1 million for environmental remediation
costs, and ceased conducting syndication and development/construction activities
as separate businesses. In addition, $3.8 million of the Company's convertible
preferred stock and $3.0 million of the Company's convertible debt was converted
into Common Stock during 1996. In 1996, the Company changed its fiscal year end
from September 30 to December 31. The Company also acquired the partnership
interests that it did not already own in three FECs in August, 1996.
In light of the foregoing, the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company discussed herein are generally not directly comparable
period-to-period and are not necessarily indicative of the Company's future
results of operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto contained
elsewhere in this Report.
Fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 compared to fiscal year ended December 31,
1996.
The Company's operations resulted in a net loss of $59.3 million ($1.41 per
share) for the year ended December 31, 1997 ("1997") as compared to a net loss
of $47.6 million ($2.91 per share) for the year ended December 31, 1996
("1996").
The net loss for 1997 included $25.8 million ($0.61 per share) of
non-recurring charges and expenses, and the net loss for 1996 included $30.3
million ($1.74 per share) of non-recurring charges and expenses, associated with
the Recapitalization and the continued implementation and reassessment of the
Company's
5
<PAGE> 6
business plan due to adjustments in carrying value of assets, increases in
environmental reserves and, in 1997, the relocation of the Company's
headquarters.
Pursuant to the Company's business plan, 12 of the Company's non-strategic
FECs were sold during 1997, five FECs are held for sale or closure, the Company
is reviewing additional FECs for possible sale or closure, and the Company
recorded a charge totaling $20.9 million under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121") for impairment of assets and adjustments in
carrying values. In 1996 the Company recorded a charge totaling $21.0 million
under SFAS 121.
See "Items 1 and 2 -- Business and Properties" for a discussion of the
Company's business plan. In addition to the disposition of nonstrategic FECs and
operational improvements, the Company's business plan involves the development
and rollout of the Company's new "SpeedZone" concept. While the Company does not
presently anticipate additional material nonrecurring charges against its
existing asset base in 1998, and is taking steps to improve its results of
operations, with the time required to fully develop its SpeedZone concept, the
loss of operating revenues during the construction period for parks being
reconsidered for redevelopment and other factors, management does not expect
that the Company will return to profitability in 1998.
Operating Revenues
Entertainment revenues (revenues from the operation of FECs) increased by
$7.7 million, or 22%, to $43.5 million for 1997 from $35.8 for 1996. The
increase in entertainment revenues was due to (i) an increase in entertainment
revenue from the FECs which were operated in both years ($2.2 million), (ii) an
increase in entertainment revenues from the three FECs which were converted to
SpeedZones ($5.9 million), and (iii) three FECs purchased in August 1996 that
were only included in five months of 1996 ($2.3 million). These increases were
offset by the decrease in revenue ($2.3 million) from the FECs which were sold
in May 1997 and FECs closed in 1997 pending final disposition ($0.4 million).
Operating Expenses
Total 1997 operating expenses were $95.1 million, an increase of $17.9
million, or 23%, over 1996.
Entertainment expenses increased by $18.3 million, or 55%, to $51.8 million
for 1997 from $33.5 million for 1996. The increase is primarily a result of (i)
greater operating costs associated with the increase in operating revenues
generated by the new SpeedZone product, (ii) excess operating costs for the
SpeedZone parks to provide enhanced customer service in the initial months of
operations prior to the implementation of operational efficiencies, (iii)
expenses associated with the grand opening of the SpeedZone parks and pre-
opening costs such as promotion, advertising, training and non-recurring concept
refinement costs, travel and (iv) additional advertising expenses incurred to
revitalize customer awareness of all of the Company's FECs, and (v) the three
FECs purchased in August 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.8 million, or 23%, to
$9.2 million from $12.1 million for 1996. The decrease is primarily a result of
expenses the Company incurred in 1996 relating to recording (i) bad debt
reserves and various accruals of $1.6 million and (ii) costs associated with the
Company's 1996 recapitalization.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.8 million, or 61%,
primarily as a result of the acquisition of the three parks in August 1996 and
the depreciation recognized on the newly redeveloped SpeedZones.
During each of 1997 and 1996, the Company recognized a loss due to
impairment of assets of $20.9 million and $21.0 million, respectively,
principally as a result of adjustments in the carrying value of assets resulting
from the implementation of its new business plan and the determination that the
carrying value of certain of such assets was higher than their undiscounted
expected future cash flows. In addition, the Company adjusted the value of
investments in its limited partnerships based upon their net realizable values
which resulted in a loss on investments in affiliates of $0.6 million in 1997
and $2.6 million in 1996, recorded a charge of $1.1 million for environmental
remediation costs in 1996 and an additional environmental charge of $1.9 million
in 1997.

<PAGE> 7
Other (Expense) Income
During 1997, the Company began the relocation of its corporate headquarters
from Atlanta, Georgia to Dallas, Texas, which was completed March 1, 1998. In
connection with this relocation, the Company recognized office closing costs
(including $2.2 million in severance costs) of approximately $2.4 million in
1997.
Calendar Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September
30, 1995
The Company's operations resulted in a net loss of $47.6 million ($2.91 per
share) for the year ended December 31, 1996 ("1996"), as compared to a net loss
of $3.2 million ($0.53 per share) for the year ended September 30, 1995
("1995"). The net loss for 1996 included $30.3 million ($1.74 per share) of non-
recurring charges and expenses associated with the recapitalization and the
Company's new business plan.
Operating Revenues
Total operating revenues for 1996 declined by $8.8 million, or 19.0%, to
$37.4 million as compared to $46.2 million for 1995.
Entertainment revenues increased by $3.6 million, or 11.2%, to $35.8
million for 1996 from $32.2 million for 1995. The increase was principally due
to (i) the inclusion of 12 months rather than 10 1/2 months of revenues from 21
FECs acquired from Malibu in November 1994 and (ii) the inclusion of revenues
from five FECs acquired by the Company during 1996 in which the Company
previously had a minority interest. Entertainment revenues for the 18 FECs owned
and operated by the Company during both years decreased by $1.6 million, or
5.1%.
Other operating revenues declined by $.5 million, or 23.8%, primarily due
to the decrease in management fees and rental income previously received in
connection with the five FECs in which the Company had a minority interest.
Development and construction revenue declined by $10.3 million and
syndication revenue declined by $1.6 million as compared to 1995 because the
Company discontinued these business activities in 1996.
Operating Expenses
Total 1996 operating expenses were $77.2 million, an increase of $29.4
million, or 61.5%, over 1995.
Entertainment expenses increased by $7.6 million, or 29.3%, to $33.5
million in 1996, of which $6.3 million was due to the related increases in
entertainment revenues discussed above, with the remaining increase due to
higher maintenance costs resulting from previously deferred maintenance.
General and administrative expenses increased by $4.9 million, or 68.0%, to
$12.1 million for 1996, of which (i) $2.8 million related to consulting and
other costs incurred in the development of the Company's future business plan,
costs associated with the Recapitalization and employee severance arrangements
associated with the restructuring of the Company's administrative organization,
(ii) $0.7 million related to consulting and legal fees incurred in connection
with the Exchange Offer and discontinuance of the development and construction
businesses, and (iii) $1.6 million related to the recording of the bad debt
reserves and various accruals. Development and construction expenses declined by
$9.2 million due to the discontinuation of development and construction
activities for third parties.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.6 million, or 34.8%,
principally as a result of the FECs acquired during 1996, and the fact that the
newly acquired FECs operated for only 10 1/2 months in 1995.
A loss due to impairment of assets of $21.0 million recognized in 1996 is
principally a result of adjustments in the carrying value of assets determined
pursuant to SFAS No. 121. Additionally, the Company adjusted the carrying value
of investments in limited partnerships based upon their net realizable values
which resulted in a loss on investments in affiliates of $2.6 million and
recorded a charge for environmental remediation costs of $1.1 million.
7
<PAGE> 8
Other (Expense) Income
Interest expense increased by $2.5 million, or 61.0%, principally as a
result of increased outstanding indebtedness during 1996 as compared to 1995,
including convertible debentures issued in connection with the acquisition of
FECs in August 1996.
The loss on settlement of strategic alliance agreements of $1.0 million is
the result of the termination of two strategic alliance agreements in which the
Company had previously granted rights to third parties to acquire, construct and
own FECs internationally and domestically. The termination of these alliances
was effected in connection with the Recapitalization. The gain of $0.8 million
associated with the Company's development and construction division is related
to the reversal of an accrual for the costs of the disposal of its development
and construction division. The Company also recognized a gain of $0.4 million in
1996 associated with the cancellation of previously issued warrants.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal sources of liquidity in 1997 were funds advanced by
the Company's largest shareholder ($64.4 million) and third party debt ($25.4
million), and proceeds from the sale of non-strategic assets ($4.5 million). The
Company's principal uses of liquidity in 1997 were to finance operations ($19.4
million), SpeedZone redevelopment and land costs ($59.2 million), purchase of
property and equipment ($4.0 million) and the repayment of borrowings ($4.5
million).
The Company and its largest shareholder have amended the existing $9.5
million and $30.0 million promissory notes (as amended, the "Shareholder Notes")
to, among other things, increase the principal amount of the Shareholder Notes
to $10.0 million and $65.0 million, respectively, and to provide that the
Shareholder Notes are convertible at MEI Holdings' option into subordinated
notes that are convertible into Common Stock ("Convertible Notes") which will
have terms that an independent investment adviser advises the Company would
ensure that the proceeds of a sale at that time of the Convertible Notes would
be sufficient to repay the then-outstanding interest and principal on the
Shareholder Notes and all third-party costs incurred in connection therewith.
The amounts outstanding under the Shareholder Notes as of March 27, 1998, were
$8.5 million and $39.8 million, respectively. The Company's largest shareholder
is permitted, but is not required, to advance additional funds up to the face
amounts under the Shareholder Notes.
At December 31, 1997, the Company's total long-term debt was $95.7 million,
$1.1 million of which is due during 1998. Required amortization of the Company's
long-term debt during the next three years is as follows: 1999: $22.3 million;
2000: $4.0 million; and 2001: $67.5 million. The Company's $20.0 million term
and revolving credit loan facility matures in August 2001, with no required
principal amortization prior thereto.
The Company presently expects that the conversion of certain other FECs to
the SpeedZone concept and the development of new SpeedZone parks will require
the Company to secure additional capital resources, which could involve the
issuance of debt or equity securities, securitization of assets or other capital
transactions. The cost of conversion of existing FECs to the SpeedZone concept,
or the development of new SpeedZone parks, will be dependent upon various
factors, including land acquisition, construction and other costs, but is
expected to be substantial ($10-$20 million per facility). The pursuit of any
acquisition opportunities which may become available and the implementation of
the Company's business plan on a more rapid timetable than the Company presently
contemplates also may require the Company to issue additional debt or equity
securities or to consider possible changes in its capitalization or structure.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able fully to
implement its business plan or to pursue those or other opportunities that
otherwise might be available to the Company or as to the timing or terms
thereof.
In addition, the Company expects to seek to refinance its existing
indebtedness, including indebtedness held by its largest shareholder, during
1998. Any refinancing could involve the issuance of additional debt or equity
securities, or rights in respect thereof, the terms of which can not be
predicted but could involve, among
8
<PAGE> 9
other possible transactions, additional asset sales, spin-offs or other
transactions. There can be no assurance that such refinancing will be available
to the Company or as to the amount and terms thereof.
SEASONALITY
The business of the Company is highly seasonal. Approximately 64% of the
Company's revenues are generated during the six-month period of April through
September. As a result, the Company's operating income can be expected to be
substantially lower in the first and last three months of the year than the
second and third quarters. Furthermore, since many of the attractions at the
parks involve outdoor activities, prolonged periods of inclement weather result
in a substantial reduction of revenues during such period.
INFLATION
The effects of inflation, as measured by fluctuations in the consumer price
index, have not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or net income in
recent years.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Malibu Entertainment Worldwide, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MALIBU
ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE, INC. (A GEORGIA CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES as of

operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, the three months ended December 31, 1995, and the year ended
September 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Malibu
Entertainment Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the three months ended December 31, 1995, and the

MALIBU ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Malibu Entertainment Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") owns and operates
multi-attraction entertainment centers. The Company's original concept was the
family entertainment center ("FEC") which generally included a combination of
several entertainment attractions at a single location such as miniature golf
courses, go-karts, bumper boats, batting cages, video game rooms and souvenir
concession stands and, in some parks, scaled grand prix style racetracks
utilizing the Company's proprietary Malibu Grand Prix race cars. As of March 27,
1998, the Company owned, leased or had a majority ownership interest in 29
traditional FECs, one of which was held for sale. In 1997, the Company
introduced a new concept -- the "SpeedZone" parks -- primarily designed for
young adults. SpeedZones feature the Company's Malibu Grand Prix racing
attraction, go-kart-type racing attractions and the Company's new "Top
Eliminator" dragster attraction, together with a restyled clubhouse, miniature
golf course, video game room and meeting and party rooms to complement the
racing attractions. The implementation of the SpeedZone concept began in 1997
with the re-development and opening, at the end of June, of the new SpeedZones
in Dallas and Los Angeles, and a scaled-down version in Atlanta.
At the Company's annual meeting of shareholders on April 28, 1997, the
Company's shareholders approved the change in the name of the Company from
Mountasia Entertainment International, Inc. to Malibu Entertainment Worldwide,
Inc.
CHANGE IN YEAR END
On January 19, 1996 the Board of Directors approved a change in the
Company's fiscal year end from September 30th to December 31st.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUES
Entertainment revenue represents revenue from FECs operated by the Company
and is recognized when earned.
Prior to 1996, the Company developed and constructed FECs for limited
partnerships. Development and construction revenue from related parties
represents the revenue recognized for the preparation of detail design and
construction drawings and the construction of facilities for limited
partnerships in which the Company owns an interest. Revenue under these
construction agreements, exclusive of the percentage interest owned by the
Company, was recognized using the percentage-of-completion method.
In prior years, the Company assisted third parties in raising funds to
capitalize limited partnerships which constructed and owned FECs and the Company
received a limited partnership interest as compensation for syndication
activities performed. The Company recognized syndication revenue upon completion
of construction of the FEC (Note 4).
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investment securities purchased with an initial maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash is restricted in accordance with various agreements with
insurance carriers.
F-7
<PAGE> 20
MALIBU ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the
assets or the term of the lease. Depreciable lives range from two to thirty-nine
years and lease terms range from one to twenty-five years. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting and an
accelerated method for income tax purposes.
DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS
Costs associated with the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized
using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method
over the term of the related debt.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value
of assets acquired in connection with the acquisitions of various entities, is
being amortized over 30 years. Trademarks are capitalized and amortized over 17
years.
INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Investments in limited partnerships are accounted for under the equity
method. Under the equity method, the Company adjusts the carrying amount of its
investments for its share of the earnings or losses of the limited partnership
and reports the earnings or losses in income. Distributions from a limited
partnership reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVE
The Company has adopted a policy of providing a reserve for estimated costs
of site remediation of its underground storage tanks on a tank by tank basis as
soon as a potential liability is reasonably estimable. The Company's reserve is
periodically evaluated and adjusted as necessary based on the latest available
information.
NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss
applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the year. Potentially issuable shares under stock
options which were not included in the loss per share calculations because they
were anti-dilutive were approximately 16,000, 5,000, 1,000, and 3,000 shares
during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the three months ended
December 31, 1995 and the year ended September 30, 1995, respectively. Any
preferred dividends paid or accrued during the year are reflected as an increase
in net loss prior to the calculation of net loss per share of common stock.
During 1997 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, (SFAS 128). The effect of adopting SFAS 128 was not
material to the Company.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates that the fair value of its financial instruments,
primarily its debt instruments and notes receivable, approximates the
instruments carrying amounts based on the respective instruments terms and
maturities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE
DISPOSED OF
In January 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121. The effect of adopting this new
accounting pronouncement in January 1996 was determined not to be material to
the Company's financial position or results of operations. (Notes 9 and 23)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could vary from these estimates.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.
2. RECAPITALIZATION
On June 5, 1996, the Company and MEI Holdings, L.P. ("MEI Holdings")
entered into an Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") and related
documents, including a Warrant and the Standstill Agreement (together with the
Investment Agreement, collectively, the "Recapitalization Agreements"). The
transactions provided for in the Recapitalization Agreement (the
"Recapitalization") were completed on August 28, 1996.
Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, the Company (i) sold 11,727,970
shares of Common Stock to MEI Holdings (45.45% of the then-outstanding shares of
Common Stock after giving effect to such issuance and prior to the sale of 2.1
million shares of Common Stock to employees) and (ii) issued to MEI Holdings a
Warrant to acquire additional shares of Common Stock automatically upon the
occurrence of certain events. In addition, MEI Holdings is entitled to
additional Common Stock under certain post-closing adjustment provisions of the
Investment Agreement if certain events occur which vary adversely from the
parties valuation assumptions related to MEI Holdings investment in the Company
pursuant to the Investment Agreement.
As a part of the Recapitalization, among other things, (i) the Company
obtained the right to require MEI Holdings to invest up to an additional $22.7
million in the Company (the "Company Call Option") and (ii) MEI Holdings agreed,
subject to certain conditions, to provide up to an additional $30.0 million to
backstop certain future rights offerings. The Company exercised the Company Call
Option in December 1996 and subsequently issued 6,655,623 Common Shares to MEI
Holdings for $22.7 million.
In November 1996, MEI Holdings provided the capital required for the
Company to redeem the $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's
10% Debentures in exchange for which MEI Holdings received 213,551 shares of
Series G Preferred Stock (subsequently converted into 2,135,513 Common Shares).
3. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
In September 1995, the Company issued $8,500,000 principal amount of 10%
Debentures. During 1996 the 10% Debentures were amended and certain terms
modified. In connection with amending certain terms, the Company redeemed 30% of
the outstanding balance of its 10% Debentures and its Series B Preferred Stock
and the Company exchanged the remaining 70% outstanding balance under the Series
B Preferred Stock and its 10% Debentures into newly structured 10% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures (the "New
F-9
<PAGE> 22
MALIBU ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
10% Debentures"). The redemption of the 10% Debentures, along with the issuance
of the New 10% Debentures, resulted in the Company recognizing a loss on the
extinguishment of debt of approximately $663,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996 for the redemption premium of 20%, along with the write off of unamortized
debt issue costs.
4. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
Prior to 1996, the Company assisted third parties in raising funds to
capitalize limited partnerships which construct and own FECs, and the Company
received a limited partnership interest as compensation for syndication
activities performed. Prior to October 1, 1994, the Company recognized
syndication revenue when minimum cash or other equity was raised as specified in
the respective partnership offering circulars and after completion of activities
associated with determining the feasibility of a particular entertainment center
site, preparing preliminary site designs, and assisting the local general
partner in meetings with potential investors. The Company retained significant
involvement in limited partnerships that it syndicated for a period of time
while it performed the functions of a developer. Its exposure to future costs in
that capacity were estimated to be nominal for those syndications that closed
prior to October 1, 1994. However, FECs became increasingly more complex as a
wider variety of attractions were included in their design. As a result, the
Company's continued involvement during the pre-opening period was determined to
be greater. Accordingly, the Company believed it was preferable to defer
recognition of its syndication fees until completion of the construction of the
FEC, rather than recognizing such fees when the syndication had been capitalized
through non-refundable equity investments and adopted this change for its fiscal
year beginning October 1, 1994.
5. ACQUISITIONS
NATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT FUNDING L.P.
On April 3, 1996, the Company entered into Purchase and Sales Agreements
with the general and limited partners of National Entertainment Funding L.P.
("NEF") to acquire their partnership interests in NEF which owned three FECs in
McAllen, Texas; Henderson, Nevada; and Miami, Florida.
The total consideration paid was as follows:

the Company for the construction of enhancements to the infrastructure of the
Willowbrook FEC in order to construct additional amenities (i.e., Virage(R)
track or skating rink) adjacent to the Mountasia FunCenter in Willowbrook,

In October 1995, the Company purchased Brass Ring II's rights arising out
of the enhancements to the infrastructure for $1,090,000 in anticipation of the
purchase of the Willowbrook FEC (Note 5). During 1996, the Company purchased the
assets of Brass Ring II for a total purchase price of $2,109,375. The purchase

During 1997, the Company capitalized interest of $504,000 related to the

9. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE (SEE ALSO NOTE 23)
During 1996, the Company adopted a comprehensive business plan designed to
reposition the Company through investment in its best performing parks,
including additions of new attractions, upgrading FECs, selling or closing FECs
that are not believed to be strategic and the pursuit of internal and external
growth opportunities. In implementing this business plan, the Company determined
that it would initially sell or close 15 parks. The 15 parks to be sold
generated operating revenues of $4.5 million and had an operating loss of
$517,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. During 1997, the Company sold 12
of the FECs for a total sales price of $3.8 million. During 1997, the Company
closed an additional three FECs.
The Company estimated the values of certain FECs using their undiscounted
cash flows and recorded a writedown of $13.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1996. The values of FECs to be sold or closed were estimated using their
expected sales prices and resulted in a reserve for sale or closure of $3.3
million and a write down of $4.6 million to net realizable value for the year
ended December 31, 1996. The Company is currently marketing the FECs to be sold
and expects to dispose of these FECs within a year.
10. INVESTMENTS IN AND TRANSACTIONS WITH LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Prior to 1996, when the Company assisted third parties in raising funds to
capitalize limited partnerships which constructed and owned FECs, the Company
received a limited partnership interest as compensation for syndication
activities performed. Effective October 1, 1994, syndication revenue is
recognized upon comple-
F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
tion of construction of the FEC. Prior to October 1, 1994, syndication revenue
was recognized when minimum cash and other equity was raised and certain
services were performed by the Company for the limited partnership (Note 4).
During fiscal year 1994, the Company assisted with the raising of capital
for the NEF partnership and received fees of $550,000 for performing certain
syndication activities. The recognition of those syndication fees was deferred,
along with the related syndication costs of approximately $386,000, since the
NEF general partners held a put. The terms of the NEF Partnership Agreement
required a unanimous vote of the general partners in order to exercise the put.
In April 1995, two of NEF's three general partners entered into an agreement
with each other and the Company in which they irrevocably agreed not to exercise
or seek enforcement of the put. Therefore, as the Company did not have any
future obligations or risk related to NEF, the related net syndication fee of
$164,000 was recognized during fiscal 1995.
Under the terms of the Formation Agreement with NEF, the Company was to
build and operate FEC's in various locations, including Kendall, Florida, a
suburb of Miami. The Formation Agreement provided NEF with the right to purchase
any Company facility located within a specified radius of a proposed facility.
In connection with the Malibu Acquisition, the Company acquired a facility
within the specified radius of NEF's proposed facility in Kendall, Florida (the
"Miami Facility"). In December 1994, NEF exercised its right under the agreement
to purchase the Miami facility. NEF purchased the improvements, but not the
land, at the Miami Facility for its net book value, and fair value of
$1,250,000. In connection with the Company's agreement to cancel NEF's
obligation to fund the construction of a FEC in Kendall, Florida, the Company
and NEF executed an agreement providing for a fee of $1,250,000 which was
recognized as income for the year ended September 30, 1995, net of the Company's
ownership percentage. In August 1996 the Company purchased the general and
limited partnership interests in NEF (Note 5).
The Company charges fees for the management and operation of certain FEC's
in which the Company has ownership interests. Management fees for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the three month period ended December 31, 1995
and the year ended September 30, 1995 were $64,000, $153,000, $74,000, and
$347,000, respectively.
Prior to 1997, the Company has entered into game revenue sharing agreements
with limited partnerships in which the Company purchases games for the limited
partnerships' use and receives 40-50% of total game revenue. Total game sharing
revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 1996, the three month period
ended December 31, 1995 and the year ended September 30, 1995 was approximately
$209,000, $134,000, and $370,000, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company adjusted the
carrying value of its investments in limited partnerships which resulted in a
writedown of its investments by $605,000 and $2,570,000, respectively.

13. NOTES PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDER
During 1997, the Company entered into two promissory notes with MEI
Holdings with terms which management believed to be comparable to terms which
would be attainable from third parties. The initial amounts of the two
promissory notes were $9.5 million and $30.0 million, respectively. As
subsequently amended, the first promissory note is for $10.0 million with
interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis points and is payable in January 1999 and the
second promissory note is for maximum borrowings of up to $65.0 million with
interest at 10% and matures in August 2001. MEI Holdings has the option, but is
not obligated, to advance amounts in excess of the amounts presently outstanding
under the notes.
The notes are each convertible at MEI Holdings' option into subordinated
notes that are convertible into Common Stock ("Convertible Notes") which will
have terms that an independent investment adviser advises the Company would
ensure that the proceeds of a sale at that time of the Convertible Notes would
be sufficient to repay the then outstanding interest and principal on the $10.0
million and $65.0 million notes and all third-party costs incurred in connection
therewith. At December 31, 1997 the outstanding balance under the $10.0 million
and the $65.0 million was approximately $8.0 million and $40.3 million,
respectively. Accrued interest on the notes totaled approximately $1.094 million
as of December 31, 1997.
14. LINE OF CREDIT AND TERM LOAN REVOLVER
In 1996 the Company entered into a loan agreement ("Senior Credit
Facility"), which was amended during 1997, with a leading U.S. based financial
institution to provide $20 million in senior secured credit facilities. The
Senior Credit Facility is comprised of a $12.5 million senior secured term loan
and a $7.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Each credit
facility matures in August 2001 with no interim principal amortization. The
credit facilities are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and
bear interest at a floating reference rate plus 1.5%. At December 31, 1997 the
outstanding balance under the term loan and revolver was $10,000,000 and
$7,500,000, respectively.

The note payable to a former shareholder represents a note which bears
interest at 8% per annum. Under the terms of the note agreement, the Company is
required to remit all excess cash flow of certain FECs to the note holder and
has guaranteed a minimum principal and interest payment of $500,000 annually,
less any capital improvements made to these FECs. Under the terms of the note
agreement, principal will be reduced by 15% of capital improvements to the
facilities. Under the terms of the note agreement, certain shareholders must own
an aggregate of 750,000 Common Shares. In the event that such persons fail to
continue to own 750,000 Common Shares, the former shareholder may accelerate
payment of the note to a five-year term.
At December 31, 1996, there were two issues of Convertible Subordinated

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
In September 1995, two thousand (2,000) of the 6,000,000 authorized shares
of Preferred Stock were designated Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock ("Series
A Preferred Stock") of which the Company issued 1,150 shares for cash proceeds
of $10,637,500. At December 31, 1996 and 1995 the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock converted $310,126 and $7,034,931, including accrued dividends,

to purchase 111,034 Common Shares at $8.70 per share as compensation for
investment services. The warrants expire in September 2000. The warrants were
valued at $215,000 using an independent third party appraisal and were accounted
for as a stock issuance cost.
In December 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with certain of the
holders of $4,300,000 aggregate principal amount of the Series A Preferred Stock
in which the holders agreed to extend the conversion date in return for a
reduction of the fixed conversion price to $5.125. In connection with the above
change in the conversion price, the Series A Preferred Stock was converted into
Series B Preferred Stock.
SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
In December 1995, the Company's Board of Directors designated 2,000 shares
of Preferred Stock as convertible, non-voting Series B Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Preferred Stock"). As discussed above, the Series B Preferred Stock
was issued in exchange for the holder's Series A Preferred Stock. There were no
conversions of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock. However, in July 1996
the Company redeemed

SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK
In December 1995 the Company's Board of Directors designated 1000 shares of
Preferred Stock as Series C Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Preferred Stock"). The Company issued 500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for
$500,000. In 1996, the Company redeemed the 500 shares for the face value plus a
13% preferred dividend.
SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK
During 1996, the Company's Board of Directors designated 20,000 shares of
the Company's Preferred Stock as Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D
Preferred Stock"). During 1996, the Company issued 8,027 of Series D Preferred
Stock with a face value of $7,928,000 for $6,662,000. The Series D Preferred
Stock was convertible into the number of Common Shares equal to the Series D
Original Issue Price, divided by the lesser of (i) $6.00 or (ii) the average
closing bid price, as defined, for the five trading days immediately preceding
the date the Series D Preferred Stock is converted (the "Series D Conversion
Price"). The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock received dividends of 4%.
During 1996 $4,023,500 of the Series D Preferred Stock was redeemed and
$3,187,000 was converted into 1,331,367 Common Shares.
SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK
During 1996, the Company's Board of Directors designated 2,700,000 shares
of the Company's Preferred Stock as Series F Preferred Stock. Series F Shares
were convertible into Common Shares after Shareholder approval was given or
under certain other circumstances. The terms of the Series F Shares were
structured so that Series F Shares were substantially equivalent (except as to
voting) to Common Shares. Accordingly, the holders of the Series F Shares were
entitled when, as and if declared by the Board, to dividends or other
distributions payable or distributable on the date on which dividends or other
distributions were so payable or distributable on or in respect of Common
Shares, in an amount per Series F Share equal to the aggregate per share amount
of all cash dividends and the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of
all non-cash dividends or other distributions, declared on the Common Shares. If
the Company declared any dividend or other distribution on Common Shares payable
in Common Shares or any other capital stock of the Company having the right to
vote in the election of directors on a regular basis ("Other Voting Shares"),
then in each such case where Common Shares would have been payable, each holder
of Series F Shares would be entitled to receive a number of additional Series F
Shares equal to the number of Common Shares such holder would have received if
all of such holder's Series F Shares had been converted into Common Shares, and
in each such case where shares of Other Voting Shares would have been payable,
each such holder of Series F Shares would be entitled to receive such number of
shares of any series or class of Company shares as provides such holder all of
the relative rights, preferences and powers, except voting rights, that the
holder would have received as a holder of Common Shares if all of such holder's
Series F Shares had been converted into Common Shares. Subject to the prior and
superior rights of the holders of any shares of any senior preferred stock, if
the Company subdivides the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of
shares or combines the outstanding Common Shares into a reduced number of
shares, then in each case the outstanding Series F Shares would also be
subdivided or combined in the same proportion so that each Series F Share
continued to be entitled to ten times the amount of dividends and distributions
as each Common Share.
During 1997, upon Shareholder approval at the Company's 1997 annual
meeting, all such shares were converted into Common Stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK
During 1996, the Company's Board of Directors designated 213,551 shares of
the Company's Preferred Stock as Series G Preferred Stock. The Series G Shares
were (i) nonvoting, (ii) had a liquidation preference equal to the amount
received by the Company for their issuance, (iii) had a dividend rate of 7% per
annum with unpaid dividends to accrue but be payable only at such time as
dividends are declared and paid on the Common Shares, and (iv) were not
convertible into Common Shares unless and until Shareholder approval was given.
Dividends accrued but not declared would be lost upon conversion of the Series G
Shares into Common Shares.
During 1997, upon Shareholder approval at the Company's 1997 annual
meeting, all such shares were converted into Common Stock.
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
In September 1996 the Company sold 2,093,333 shares (the "Management
Shares") of Common Stock at a per share price equal to $2.6625 per share, for an
aggregate note receivable of $5,568,266, which price was the average of the
closing prices of the common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding
the sale to the participants in the Incentive Plan. Those persons eligible to
participate in the Incentive Plan are key employees designated by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. In order to participate in the
Incentive Plan the participants surrendered all options to acquire Common
Shares. During 1997, the Company purchased 291,875 Management Shares and issued
200,000 Common Shares.
Initially, all Management Shares are restricted such that they are not
subject to alienation or transfer by the participant and are subject to the
Company's repurchase option as set forth below. The Management Shares "vest",
thereby becoming unrestricted shares, at a rate of 1/48th per month, provided
the participant remains in the continuous full time employment of the Company.
If a participant's employment with the Company is terminated within five years
of the acquisition of such shares, the Company has the right to repurchase from
the participant, and the participant has the right to sell to the Company, all
of the participant's Management Shares which have not vested. If the participant
is terminated without cause, the per share purchase price to be paid by the
Company upon such repurchase will be equal to the initial per share purchase
price of such shares (plus accrued interest). If the participant is terminated
with cause or voluntarily terminates his or her own employment, the per share
purchase price to be paid by the Company upon such repurchase will be equal to
the lesser of (i) the average of the closing price on the principal securities
market on which the common stock is then included for each of the 15 trading
days immediately preceding the date on which the participant's employment is
terminated and (ii) the initial purchase price for such shares (plus accrued
interest).
To finance the purchase of the Management Shares, the Company made
available to each participant a five year recourse loan bearing interest
initially at 7.0% per annum and escalating to 8.5% annum secured by the Common
Shares acquired thereby. If a participant's employment with the Company is
terminated within five years of the acquisition of such shares, or if the
participant otherwise defaults on the loan, then the entire balance due under
such participant's financing becomes due and payable.
To secure payment of the loan, each participant entered into a pledge
agreement with the Company pursuant to which all of the Management Shares
acquired by the participants have been pledged to the Company. The Management
Shares will be released from pledge upon payment in full of the entire amount
due under the loan.
COMMON STOCK OPTIONS
On September 3, 1993, the Company adopted the Mountasia 1993 Incentive
Stock Option Plan (the Plan). The Plan was amended during fiscal 1995 and

Option Plan (the Director Plan), which was amended during the year ended
September 30, 1995, and reserved 250,000 Common Shares for issuance thereunder.
The Director Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to
purchase Common Shares to directors who are not employees of the Company. All

In conjunction with the purchase of Malibu Grand Prix Corporation, the
Company granted MGP Holdings, Inc., or its nominee, an option to acquire, for a
period of five years from November 15, 1994, 200,000 Common Shares at $12.00 per
share. No options have been exercised at December 31, 1997.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
during 1996. The Company has chosen the method of adoption whereby the previous
method of accounting (Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25) is followed
for financial statement purposes and the proforma effect of valuing options at
fair value is presented in the footnotes to the financial statements. The
significant assumptions used by the Company in this calculation were a risk free
interest rate of 6.9%, an expected dividend yield of 0% and expected lives of
options of ten years. The effect of implementing this statement
F-21

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
resulted in an increase in the proforma net loss for the year ended December 31,
1997 of $25,000 or $0.00 per share.
WARRANTS
In connection with the issuance of the 10% Debentures in September 1995,
the Company issued warrants to purchase 82,069 and 111,034 Common Shares at
$8.70 per share to the underwriter as compensation for investment services. The
warrants expire in September 2000. In connection with the amendments to the 10%
Debentures and the Preferred A Stock the Company reduced the exercise price on
79,607 of the warrants to $5.125.
In calendar year 1995, the Company entered into two financial advisory
agreements with investment firms for a specific period of time. As consideration
for their retention, the Company issued to the investment firms warrants to
purchase Common Stock. The warrants were valued and expensed over the terms of
the financial advisory agreements. During 1996 the Company terminated the
financial advisory agreements and the investment firms returned the warrants.
The Company recognized a gain of approximately $422,000 related to the warrant's
value which had previously been expensed.
18. 401(K) PLAN

22. LITIGATION
Due to the nature of the attractions at the Company's parks, the Company
has been, and will likely continue to be, subject to a significant number of
personal injury lawsuits, certain of which may involve claims for substantial
damages. The Company also is, from time to time, a party to other claims and
legal proceedings, and is subject to environmental, zoning and other legal
requirements. As of the date of this Report, the Company does not believe that
any such matter is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations. However, there
necessarily can be no assurance in this regard or that the Company will not be
subject to material claims or legal proceedings or requirements in the future.
23. FOURTH QUARTER CHARGES
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, during the
fourth quarters of each of 1997 and 1996, the Company recorded a loss due to
impairment of assets of $20.9 million and $21.0 million, respectively,
principally as a result of adjustments in the carrying value of assets resulting
from the implementation of its new business plan and the determination that the
carrying value of such assets was higher than their undiscounted expected future
cash flows. Additionally, the Company adjusted the value of its limited
partnerships based upon their net realizable values which resulted in a loss on
investments in affiliates of $0.6 million and $2.6 million in the respective
fourth quarters of 1997 and 1996.
During the fourth quarters of 1997 and 1996, the Company recorded charges
of $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for environmental costs based
upon analyses completed by the Company's environmental consultants.

ALL INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATED
PROMISSORY NOTE IS SUBORDINATED TO OTHER INDEBTEDNESS PURSUANT TO, AND
TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN, AND IS OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF,
THE AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JUNE 27,
1997, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED
FROM TIME TO TIME, BY AND AMONG MALIBU ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE, INC.,
AS BORROWER, MEI HOLDINGS, L.P., AS SUBORDINATED LENDER, AND FOOTHILL
CAPITAL CORPORATION, AS SENIOR LENDER.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE
$65,000,000 New York, N.Y.
March 27, 1998
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Malibu Entertainment
Worldwide, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order
of MEI Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with any
subsequent holder of this Note, "Holder"), at its offices located at c/o The
Hampstead Group, 2200 Ross Avenue., Suite 4200 West, Dallas, Texas 75201, or at
such other address or to such account as Holder may from time to time designate
in writing, the unpaid principal sum of all advances made by Holder to Maker
from time to time in an aggregate principal amount of up to Sixty Five Million
United States Dollars ($65,000,000), together with interest thereon from the
date hereof on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and otherwise as herein
provided. Unless otherwise specified by Holder in writing, all payments on this
Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds.
Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this
Note at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Accrued but unpaid interest
shall be compounded annually. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this
Note shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed, and a year of 360
days.
The unpaid principal amount of this Note and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon shall become due and be paid on August 31, 2001 (the
"Maturity Date"). Maker may, at its option and upon three (3) Business Days'
prior written notice from Maker to Holder, prepay in whole or in part the
outstanding principal balance of this Note without payment of any premium or
penalty.
Holder shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of Maker to Holder resulting from each advance made by Holder,
including the amount of
<PAGE> 2
principal and interest payable and paid to Holder from time to time hereunder.
The entries made in such account or accounts shall be prima facie evidence of
the existence and the amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that
any failure of Holder to maintain such account or accounts or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Maker to repay the advances
made by Holder to Maker in accordance with the terms of this Note.
Maker agrees and acknowledges that Holder has no commitment of
any kind to advance funds to Maker and that all advances previously made by
Holder to Maker and all advances, if any, that may be made by Holder to Maker in
the future have been made and will be made at the sole and absolute discretion
of Holder.
Maker shall use the proceeds of the loan evidenced by this
Note solely to fund its working capital requirements and to repay indebtedness
of the Maker the proceeds of which were used by Maker solely to fund its working
capital requirements.
If Maker fails to make any payment of principal, accrued and
unpaid interest or any other amount due hereunder on any due date therefor,
whether at stated maturity or otherwise, the unpaid amount (including, to the
extent enforceable at law, any unpaid amount of interest) shall bear interest
until paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum and the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum
Amount"). Maker shall also pay to Holder, in addition to the amount due, all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Holder in collecting or enforcing, or
attempting to collect or enforce this Note, including without limitation court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses on any appeal by either Maker or Holder and in any
bankruptcy proceeding).
With respect to the amounts due pursuant to this Note, Maker
waives demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment,
suit against any party, diligence in collection of this Note, and all other
requirements necessary to enforce this Note.
In no event shall any amount deemed to constitute interest due
or payable hereunder (including interest calculated at the Default Rate) exceed
the Maximum Amount, and in the event such payment is inadvertently paid by Maker
or inadvertently received by Holder, then such sum shall be credited as a
payment of principal or other amounts (other than interest) outstanding
hereunder, and, if in excess of the outstanding amount of principal or other
amounts outstanding hereunder, shall be immediately returned to Maker upon such
determination. It is the express intent hereof that Maker not pay and Holder not
receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of the Maximum Amount.
Holder may, at any time during the term of this Note
(including any extensions of the term hereof), by written notice to Maker,
convert this Note into one or more subordinated convertible notes (the
"Convertible SubNotes") having terms that the Investment Banker (as defined
below) advises Maker and Holder (which advice will be in the form of a written
term sheet but need not be given in the form of a formal opinion) would be
required to ensure that the
<PAGE> 3
proceeds to Holder of an immediate sale of the Convertible SubNote would be
sufficient to repay the sum of (i) the then-outstanding principal and interest
on this Note and (ii) all third party costs incurred by the Maker and the Holder
in an assumed secondary public offering by Holder of the Convertible SubNote,
including without limitation any SEC or other filing fees, printing expenses,
underwriting discounts and fees and other fees and expenses (including
attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses). Within 20 calendar days of
Maker's receipt of the foregoing notice, Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("ML") or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, another
nationally recognized investment banking firm will be selected by Holder and the
members of the Board of Directors of Maker not affiliated with Holder or
employed by Maker (ML or such other firm, the "Investment Banker"). In its
engagement of the Investment Banker, Maker will obtain the Investment Banker's
agreement to render such advice as promptly as is practicable. If Holder is
advised by legal counsel that shareholder approval of the issuance of the
Convertible SubNote or the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Convertible SubNote is required by law or stock exchange rule, Maker will seek
shareholder approval of the issuance of the Convertible SubNotes at the earlier
of the next annual or special meeting of shareholders after the date hereof. The
Convertible SubNote and any Shares issued to the holder thereof upon conversion
of the Convertible SubNote will be "Registrable Securities" under the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 28, 1996, by and between Maker
and Holder. Maker will be responsible for all of its and Holder's fees and
expenses (including the Investment Bankers' and any attorneys' fees and
expenses) in connection the execution and delivery of the amendment and
restatement of this Note and any other matters contemplated by this Note.
Holder shall not by any act, delay, omission, or otherwise be
deemed to have modified, amended, waived, extended, discharged, or terminated
any of its rights or remedies, and no modification, amendment, waiver,
extension, discharge, or termination of any kind shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by Holder. All rights and remedies of Holder under the terms
of this Note and applicable statutes or rules of law shall be cumulative, and
may be exercised successively or concurrently. Maker agrees that there are no
defenses, equities, or setoffs with respect to the obligations set forth herein,
and to the extent any such defenses, equities, or setoffs may exist, the same
are hereby expressly released, forgiven, waived, and forever discharged. The
obligations of Maker hereunder shall be binding upon and enforceable against
Maker and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Holder
and its successors and assigns.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Note is prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Note.
This Note was negotiated in New York, and made by Holder and
accepted by Maker in the State of New York, which State the parties agree has a
substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction
embodied hereby, and in all respects, including without limitation matters of
construction, validity, and performance, this Note and the
<PAGE> 4
obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of New York and any applicable law of the
United States of America. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maker hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claim to assert that the laws of any
other jurisdiction governs this Note, and this Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York pursuant to ss.
5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.
MAKER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO,
WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE. HOLDER MAY FILE A COPY OF
THIS WAIVER WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF MAKER'S KNOWING, VOLUNTARY,
AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY,
AND THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, ANY DISPUTE OR
CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER BETWEEN MAKER AND HOLDER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Maker may not assign or delegate this Note or any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior consent of Holder (which
consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of Holder). Holder may
assign or delegate this Note or any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without prior consent of or notice to Maker.
This Note amends and restates the $30,000,000 Amended and
Restated Subordinated Promissory Note, dated June 5, 1997, from Maker payable to
the order of Holder and is being issued in replacement of and in substitution
for such promissory note.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has caused this Note to be duly
executed on its behalf as of the day and year first above written.

EXHIBIT 10.13
AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
$10,000,000 Dallas, Texas
March 27, 1998
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, MALIBU ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE,
INC., a Georgia corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of MEI
Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with any subsequent
holder of this Note, "Holder"), at its offices located at c/o The Hampstead
Group, 2200 Ross Avenue., Suite 4200 West, Dallas, Texas 75201, or at such other
address or to such account as Holder may from time to time designate in writing,
the unpaid principal sum of all advances made by Holder to Maker from time to
time in an aggregate principal amount of up to Ten Million United States Dollars
($10,000,000), together with interest thereon from the date hereof on the unpaid
principal balance at the rate and otherwise as herein provided. Unless otherwise
specified by Holder in writing, all payments on this Note shall be made in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.
The unpaid principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall become due and be paid on January 20, 1999 (the
"Maturity Date").
Maker may, at its option and upon three (3) Business Days' prior
written notice from Maker to Holder, prepay in whole or in part the outstanding
principal balance of this Note without payment of any premium or penalty;
provided, however, that in the event that Maker makes any prepayment of such
principal balance on a day other than the last day of an interest period, Maker
shall reimburse Holder for any costs, fees or expenses incurred by Holder in
connection with such prepayment including, without limitation, costs, fees and
expenses associated with the unwinding of any LIBOR contract.
For purposes of this Note: (i) "Applicable Interest Rate" shall mean a
rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 350 basis points, which Applicable Interest
Rate for each one-month interest period shall be determined monthly on the
Determination Date immediately preceding such interest period; (ii) "Business
Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which
national banks in New York, New York are not open for business; (iii) "Default
Rate" shall mean a rate per annum (adjusted monthly on each Determination Date)
equal to the Applicable Interest Rate plus 500 basis points; provided, however,
in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law;
(iv) "Determination Date" shall mean the date which is two Eurodollar Business
Days prior to the first day of a calendar month; (v) "Eurodollar Business Day"
shall mean a Business Day on which banks in the City of London, England, are
open for interbank or foreign exchange transactions; and (vi) "LIBOR" shall mean
the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars, for
a one-month period, that appears on Telerate Page 3750 (or the successor
thereto) as of 11:00 a.m., London, England time, on the related Determination
Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page
<PAGE> 2
3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London, England time, on the related Determination Date,
LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (expressed as a
percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a one-month period that
appear on the Reuters Screen LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London, England time,
on such Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates so appear. If
fewer than two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBOR Page as of
11:00 a.m., London, England time, on such Determination Date, Holder shall
request the principal London, England office of any four major reference banks
in the London interbank market selected by Holder to provide such bank's offered
quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum) to prime banks in the London
interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars for a one-month period as of 11:00
a.m., London, England time, on such Determination Date for amounts of not less
than U.S. $1,000,000. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided,
LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such
offered quotations are so provided, Holder shall request any three major banks
in New York City selected by Holder to provide such bank's rate (expressed as a
percentage per annum) for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a
one-month period as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
applicable Determination Date for amounts of not less than U.S. $1,000,000. If
at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of
such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then LIBOR shall be
LIBOR as in effect on the Eurodollar Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Determination Date. LIBOR shall be determined in accordance with this
paragraph by Holder or its agent.
Maker shall pay interest, in arrears for each one-month LIBOR interest
period (or portion thereof) from and including the first Business Day of each
calendar month (or from the date hereof in the case of the initial interest
period) to but excluding the first Business Day of the immediately succeeding
calendar month, on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from time to time
outstanding at the Applicable Interest Rate determined for each such one-month
interest period on the immediately preceding Determination Date, on the first
Business Day of each calendar month during the term of this Note. The balance of
the unpaid principal of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon shall be paid on the Maturity Date, all in accordance with the terms and
provisions set forth herein. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this
Note shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed, and a year of 360
days.
Holder shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of Maker to Holder resulting from each advance made by Holder,
including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to Holder from
time to time hereunder. The entries made in such account or accounts shall be
prima facie evidence of the existence and the amounts of the obligations
recorded therein, provided that any failure of Holder to maintain such account
or accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of Maker to repay the advances made by Holder to Maker in accordance with the
terms of this Note.
Maker agrees and acknowledges that Holder has no commitment of any kind
to advance funds to Maker and that all advances previously made by Holder to
Maker and all advances, if any, that may be made by Holder to Maker in the
future have been made and will be made at the sole and absolute discretion of
Holder.

<PAGE> 3
If Maker fails to make any payment of principal, accrued and unpaid
interest or any other amount due hereunder on any due date therefor, whether at
stated maturity or otherwise, the unpaid amount (including, to the extent
enforceable at law, any unpaid amount of interest) shall bear interest at the
Default Rate until paid. Maker shall also pay to Holder, in addition to the
amount due, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Holder in collecting
or enforcing, or attempting to collect or enforce this Note, including without
limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses on any appeal by either Maker or Holder
and in any bankruptcy proceeding).
With respect to the amounts due pursuant to this Note, Maker waives
demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, suit
against any party, diligence in collection of this Note, and all other
requirements necessary to enforce this Note.
In no event shall any amount deemed to constitute interest due or
payable hereunder (including interest calculated at the Default Rate) exceed the
maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum Amount"), and
in the event such payment is inadvertently paid by Maker or inadvertently
received by Holder, then such sum shall be credited as a payment of principal or
other amounts (other than interest) outstanding hereunder, and, if in excess of
the outstanding amount of principal or other amounts outstanding hereunder,
shall be immediately returned to Maker upon such determination. It is the
express intent hereof that Maker not pay and Holder not receive, directly or
indirectly, interest in excess of the Maximum Amount.
Holder may, at any time during the term of this Note (including any
extensions of the term hereof), by written notice to Maker, convert this Note
into one or more subordinated convertible notes (the "Convertible SubNotes")
having terms that the Investment Banker (as defined below) advises Maker and
Holder (which advice will be in the form of a written term sheet but need not be
given in the form of a formal opinion) would be required to ensure that the
proceeds to Holder of an immediate sale of the Convertible SubNote would be
sufficient to repay the sum of (i) the then-outstanding principal and interest
on this Note and (ii) all third party costs incurred by the Maker and the Holder
in an assumed secondary public offering by Holder of the Convertible SubNote,
including without limitation any SEC or other filing fees, printing expenses,
underwriting discounts and fees and other fees and expenses (including
attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses). Within 20 calendar days of
Maker's receipt of the foregoing notice, Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("ML") or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, another
nationally recognized investment banking firm will be selected by Holder and the
members of the Board of Directors of Maker not affiliated with Holder or
employed by Maker (ML or such other firm, the "Investment Banker"). In its
engagement of the Investment Banker, Maker will obtain the Investment Banker's
agreement to render such advice as promptly as is practicable. If Holder is
advised by legal counsel that shareholder approval of the issuance of the
Convertible SubNote or the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Convertible SubNote is required by law or stock exchange rule, Maker will seek
shareholder approval of the issuance of the Convertible SubNotes at the earlier
of the next annual or special meeting of shareholders after the date hereof. The
Convertible SubNote and any Shares issued to the holder thereof upon conversion
of the Convertible SubNote will be "Registrable Securities" under the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 28, 1996, by and between Maker
3
<PAGE> 4
and Holder. Maker will be responsible for all of its and Holder's fees and
expenses (including the Investment Bankers' and any attorneys' fees and
expenses) in connection the execution and delivery of the amendment and
restatement of this Note and any other matters contemplated by this Note.
Holder shall not by any act, delay, omission, or otherwise be deemed to
have modified, amended, waived, extended, discharged, or terminated any of its
rights or remedies, and no modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
discharge, or termination of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by Holder. All rights and remedies of Holder under the terms of this Note
and applicable statutes or rules of law shall be cumulative, and may be
exercised successively or concurrently. Maker agrees that there are no defenses,
equities, or setoffs with respect to the obligations set forth herein, and to
the extent any such defenses, equities, or setoffs may exist, the same are
hereby expressly released, forgiven, waived, and forever discharged. The
obligations of Maker hereunder shall be binding upon and enforceable against
Maker and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Holder
and its successors and assigns.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Note is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the Note.
This Note was negotiated in Texas, and made by Holder and accepted by
Maker in the State of Texas, which State the parties agree has a substantial
relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction embodied hereby,
and in all respects, including without limitation matters of construction,
validity, and performance, this Note and the obligations arising hereunder shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State
of Texas and any applicable law of the United States of America. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, Maker hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any
claim to assert that the laws of any other jurisdiction governs this Note.
MAKER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, WAIVES TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY TORT
ACTION, BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE. HOLDER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS WAIVER
WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF MAKER'S KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED
FOR AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND THAT, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT THAT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER
BETWEEN MAKER AND HOLDER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Maker may not assign or delegate this Note or any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior consent of Holder (which consent may be
given or withheld in the sole discretion of Holder). Holder may assign or
delegate this Note or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without prior
consent of or notice to Maker.
