                      MALIBU ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates and
for the periods presented. The Company's business is seasonal in nature,
therefore, operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000.

         For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999. Among other things, the auditor's opinion accompanying
the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes
a going-concern qualification.


2. ASSET SALES

          In February 2000, the Company sold its McAllen, Texas facility for a
profit participation based on future income earned at the location for the next
5 years. In calendar year 1999, this facility generated $0.8 million of net
revenues and $0.2 million of operating losses. Substantially all of the assets
were transferred to the new owner.

         In the third quarter, two raw land properties were sold for total net
proceeds of $686,000. In addition, the Company sold an operating park for total
net proceeds of $486,000. Proceeds from all three sales were used to pay down
the Company's primary lender. In November 2000, the Company closed the sale of
another property for approximately $4.5 million. The net proceeds of the sale
were used to pay down the Company's primary lender in accordance with the
amended loan agreement and to fund working capital requirements.


3. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

         In September 2000, the Company and its primary lender amended the
Company's credit agreement to (i) restructure the repayment schedule of $20.4
million of secured debt; (ii) eliminate all covenants that require the Company
to maintain financial ratios and similar financial requirements; (iii) remove
certain restrictions on the Company in connection with asset divestitures; (iv)
in all but one case, require 80% of the proceeds of divestitures to repay this
debt instead of specific dollars amounts; and (v) establish a specific asset
marketing and disposition plan. In addition, the restructured agreement requires
the debt to be reduced as follows: to $17 million by November 30, 2000, to $9
million by April 30, 2001 and to $5 million by June 30, 2001. The Company closed
on the sale of a property in November which provided the funds sufficient to
satisfy the November 30, 2000 repayment requirement.

         The Company also restructured its debt obligations with another lender,
which resulted in debt forgiveness of approximately $485,000 during the second
quarter.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Recent Developments

    The Company's internally generated cash has been insufficient to fund its
working capital, debt service and capital expenditure



                                       5

requirements for the past several years. The Company historically funded its
operations and capital expenditures principally through external financing,
sales of non-core assets, and cash flow from operations.

         In September 2000, the Company and its primary lender amended the
Company's credit agreement to (i) restructure the repayment schedule of $20.4
million of secured debt; (ii) eliminate all covenants that require the Company
to maintain financial ratios and similar financial requirements; (iii) remove
certain restrictions on the Company in connection with asset divestitures; (iv)
in all but one case, require 80% of the proceeds of divestitures to repay this
debt instead of specific dollars amounts; and (v) establish a specific asset
marketing plan. In addition, the restructured agreement requires the debt to be
reduced as follows: to $17 million by November 30, 2000, to $9 million by April
30, 2001 and to $5 million by June 30, 2001. The Company closed on a property
sale in November 2000 which provided the funds sufficient to satisfy the
November 30, 2000 repayment requirement. The amended credit agreement requires
the Company to generate cash to fund its working capital, debt service, capital
expenditure requirements and to repay indebtedness. If the Company is
unsuccessful in selling assets, in obtaining other financing, in modifying the
terms of its existing indebtedness or if the proceeds of such sales are
significantly less than their recorded value, the Company will be required to
take extraordinary steps to preserve cash and satisfy its obligations or to
restructure its obligations, including seeking to curtail normal operations at
various facilities, liquidating assets or significantly altering its operations.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to take such actions or,
if so, as to the timing, terms or effects thereof. If the Company is unable to
take such actions or they are not sufficient to permit the Company to continue
to operate, the Company may seek or be forced to seek to restructure or
reorganize its liabilities, including through proceedings under the federal
bankruptcy laws.

         At September 30, 2000, the Company had $21.4 million of current assets
(including $1.5 million of restricted cash) and $ 28.9 million of current
liabilities (including $20.9 million of current debt), or negative working
capital of $7.5 million (compared to working capital of $0.8 million at December
31, 1999, which included $1.5 million of restricted cash).

         The Company's principal uses of cash during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were to pay debt ($1.5 million) and capital expenditures
($0.7 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company
financed its operations primarily through borrowings from its primary lender
($2.8 million) and disposition of property ($1.3 million).

Seasonality

         The business of the Company is seasonal. Approximately two-thirds of
the Company's revenues have historically been 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 quarters 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
periods. Accordingly, the Company believes that the results of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
Company's future results of operations.

Results of Operations

         For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had a net
loss to common shareholders of $1.9 million ($0.03 per common share), compared
to a net loss of $3.6 million ($0.07 per common share) for the comparable period
last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had net
loss to common shareholders of $8.1 million ($0.14 per common share), compared
to a net loss of $12.5 million ($0.26 per common share) for the comparable
period last year.

         Entertainment revenue increased by $0.2 million (1%) and $1.3 million
(4%) respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 from
$12.9 million and $33.6 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999 to $13.1 million and $34.9 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000. The increase in revenue is primarily due to a fully staffed
group sales force in 2000, price increases implemented in the first quarter of
2000 and increased revenues from the parks on which significant renovations were
performed in the latter part of 1999. The increase was partially offset by the
loss in revenues on the facilities that were sold in 2000.

         Entertainment expenses decreased by $1.1 million (11%) and $1.6 million
(6%) respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 from
$10.2 million and $27.4 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999 to $9.1 million and $25.8 million for the comparable periods in 2000.
The decrease is primarily due to reductions in payroll and operating costs.

         General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were essentially unchanged from the comparable period in
1999.

         Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 decreased by $0.9 million and $2.6 million respectively, due
principally to the writedown of assets during the fourth quarter of 1999 in
compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121.

         Interest expense decreased by $3.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to the comparable period in the prior year due
to the recapitalization completed in 1999 described in the Company's 1999 Form
10-K.

Stock Listing

         In June 2000, the Company withdrew its appeal of the American Stock
Exchange's ("AMEX") decision to de-list the Company's stock. As previously
reported, the Company did not meet the published guidelines for continued
listing on the AMEX. The Company ceased trading on the AMEX on June 25, 2000.
Currently, the Company's common shares are quoted on the National Association of
Securities Dealers' ("NASDAQ) Electronic Bulletin Board (the "OCTBB"). The new
trading symbol for the Company is "MBEW".


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         A portion of the Company's long-term debt as of September 30, 2000 bore
interest at variable rates and the Company is exposed to market risk from
changes in interest rates primarily through its borrowing activities, which are
described in the "Notes Payable" section to the Financial Statements included in
the Company's 1999 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2000, the Company did not hold
any derivatives related to interest rate exposure for any of its debt facilities
and it does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative
purposes. Based on the Company's borrowings at September 30, 2000, if the prime
rate were to increase by 1%, the Company's cash flow and interest expense would
increase by approximately $0.2 million. However, management has determined that
this does not materially effect the Company's financial position or results of
operations. In addition, because the Company does not use financial instruments,
it does not expect the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of
operations.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Due to the nature of the attractions at the Company's entertainment
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 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.
