                      MALIBU ENTERTAINMENT WORLDWIDE, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 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 three
month period ended March 31, 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.

         The contract to sell four other properties by the Company entered into
in March 2000 has been cancelled by the purchaser according to their rights
under the agreement. The Company is continuing to negotiate with the purchaser
under the cancelled agreement as well as other purchasers to sell these and
other assets to raise cash to meet the requirements of the Company's primary
lender. However, there can be no assurance that any transaction will occur or
as to the timing of any such transaction.


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 requirements for the past
several years. The Company historically funded its operations and capital
expenditures principally through external financing, including financing from
its largest shareholder, and cash flow from operations. The Company presently
expects that it will not have sufficient cash resources to fund its operations
after December 2000 unless it is able to generate cash through asset sales or
other transactions. Furthermore, the Company will not have sufficient cash
resources to fund its debt obligations through June 2000 without selling
assets, obtaining other financing or in modifying the terms of its existing
indebtedness. Therefore, the Company is seeking to sell certain non-core
assets. If the Company is unsuccessful in selling these non-core assets, in
obtaining other financing, 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.



                                       2
<PAGE>   6


    At March 31, 2000, the Company had $20.4 million of current assets
(including $1.5 million of restricted cash) and $ 20.9 million of current
liabilities (including $12.0 million of current debt), or negative working
capital of $0.5 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 three months ended March 31,
2000 were to fund operations ($1.7 million), pay debt ($0.1 million) and
interest ($0.6 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
Company financed its operations primarily through borrowings from its primary
lender ($2.4 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 three months ended
March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the Company's future results
of operations.

Results of Operations

    For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had a net loss to
common shareholders of $4.5 million ($0.08 per common share), compared to a net
loss of $5.3 million ($0.11 per common share) for the comparable period last
year.

    Entertainment revenue increased by $0.5 million (or 6%) for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $8.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999 to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The
increase in revenue is primarily due to having a group sales force that was
fully staffed 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 facility that was sold in February 2000.

    Entertainment expenses and general and administrative expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 were essentially unchanged from the
comparable period in 1999.

    Depreciation and amortization for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
decreased by $0.9 million due principally the writedown of assets at year-end
in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121.

    Interest expense decreased by $1.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000, as compared to the comparable periods in the prior year due to the
recapitalization completed in 1999 described in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K.

Amex Listing

    The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the American Stock
Exchange ("AMEX"). The Company has been notified that it does not currently meet
the published guidelines of the AMEX for continued listing and that the AMEX has
initiated delisting procedures. However, the generation of cash through sales of
non-core assets is intended to improve the Company's financial position and
results of operations. Accordingly, the Company has appealed the AMEX's initial
determination to delist its common shares and requested that AMEX continue the
listing. There can be no assurance that the AMEX will continue the Company's
listing.

    If the AMEX were to delist the Company's common shares, it is possible that
the shares would continue to trade in the over-the-counter market or that price
quotations would be reported by other sources. The public market for the
Company's common shares and the availability of such quotations would, however,
depend on the number of holders of Company common shares at that time and the
interest in maintaining a market for the common stock on the part of securities
firms. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that there would be a market for
the shares or that any securities firm would maintain a market in or quote
prices for the shares. If AMEX were to delist the Company's common shares, the
market for the shares could be adversely affected.





                                       3
<PAGE>   7





    The Company's common shares are currently "margin securities," as that term
is defined under the rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. Because they are margin securities, among other things, brokers are
allowed to extend credit on the collateral of the shares. If the shares were to
be delisted by the AMEX and were not otherwise publicly traded or quoted, it is
possible that the shares would no longer constitute margin securities and,
therefore, could no longer be used as collateral for loans made by brokers.

Impact of Year 2000 Issues

    The Company was required to modify or replace portions of its computer
software and certain hardware so that those systems would properly utilize
dates beyond December 31, 1999. The costs of those modifications and
replacements were $40,000. With modifications or replacements of existing
software and certain hardware, the year 2000 issues did not materially
adversely affect the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    A portion of the Company's long-term debt as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 terms and outstanding amounts of the
Company's borrowings at March 31, 2000, the Company has determined that there
are no material interest rate risk exposures to the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows as of such date.

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.


ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

Forward-Looking Statements

    This Report (including any 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

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, economics and other factors. Should
