                 TBA ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.      THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

        TBA Entertainment Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
        diversified communications and entertainment company that produces a
        broad range of business communications, meeting production and
        entertainment services for corporate meetings, develops and produces
        integrated music marketing programs, manages music industry artists and
        develops and executes merchandising programs for entertainment and
        sporting events. The Company was incorporated in Tennessee in June 1993
        and reincorporated in Delaware in September 1997.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
        Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
        generally accepted in the United States for interim financial
        information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
        footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
        United States for complete year-end financial statements. The
        accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
        conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and related
        footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
        December 31, 1999.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
        recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
        the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2000, and the
        results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine month
        periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, have been
        included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended
        September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
        may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.


2.      BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

        2000

        On January 3, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of
        Romeo Entertainment Group, Inc. ("Romeo") for a maximum purchase price
        of $6,750,000. The purchase price paid at closing included a cash
        payment of $3,475,000, the issuance of 142,300 shares of common stock of
        the Company valued at $750,000 and the issuance of two promissory notes
        totaling $2,525,000. On April 5, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the
        common stock of EJD Concert Services, Inc. ("EJD"), for a purchase price
        of $600,000.

        1999

        The Company acquired TBA Merchandising and Design, formerly Karin Glass
        & Associates, Inc. and affiliated companies, on March 17, 1999 and Mike
        Atkins Management, Inc. on December 6, 1999.

        Each of these acquisitions has been accounted for under the purchase
        method of accounting. Operating results of each of these acquisitions
        are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
        from their respective acquisition dates. The following Pro Forma
        Condensed Statements of Operations Data represents the consolidated
        results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
        1999, as if these acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of 1999.
        The pro forma results reflect certain adjustments, including
        amortization of the excess purchase price over fair value of net assets
        acquired, interest expense on the acquisition debt and adjustments to
        salaries and ownership distributions to former owners.

4.      INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

        Through December 31, 1999, the Company owned a 50% interest in a joint
        venture with Warner Custom Music Corp. The joint venture, Warner/TBA,
        developed and coordinated live, sponsored music entertainment marketing
        tours and programs and related projects, and generated revenues
        primarily from third party corporate sponsorships. Warner/TBA recognized
        revenue by amortizing the contract sponsorship funds over the life of
        the related programs, which ranged from single day events to tours
        lasting several months.

        Effective December 31, 1999, the formal joint venture agreement with
        Warner reached the end of its term. Pursuant to an agreement with
        Warner, the net assets of Warner/TBA were distributed to TBA on January
        1, 2000. TBA will continue to execute entertainment marketing programs
        previously developed by Warner/TBA and will pay Warner a net profits
        interest for certain of the 2000 programs.

develops and executes merchandising programs for entertainment and sporting
events.

In April 1997, the Company acquired its first corporate communications and
entertainment company, TBA Entertainment Group Nashville, Inc., formerly Avalon
Entertainment Group, Inc. ("AEG"), including a 50% interest in the Warner/TBA
(formerly Warner/Avalon) joint venture. In 1998 and 1999, the Company grew its
operations through the acquisition of several additional corporate
communications and entertainment services, artist management and merchandising
businesses, including Titley Spalding & Associates, LLC ("TSA"), TBA
Entertainment Group Chicago, Inc., formerly Corporate Productions, Inc. ("CPI"),
Corporate Incentives, Inc. ("CII"), TBA Entertainment Group Phoenix, Inc.,
formerly Image Entertainment Productions, Inc. ("Image"), TBA Entertainment
Group Dallas, Inc., formerly Magnum Communications, Inc. ("Magnum"), TKS
Marketing, Inc. ("TKS") (collectively, the "1998 Acquisitions"); TBA
Merchandising and Design, formerly Karin Glass & Associates, Inc. and affiliated
companies (collectively, "KGA") and Mike Atkins Management, Inc. ("Atkins")
(collectively, the "1999 Acquisitions"). In 2000, the Company also completed the
acquisition of Romeo Entertainment Group, Inc. ("Romeo") and EJD Concert
Services, Inc. ("EJD") (collectively, the "2000 Acquisitions").

General

The Company classifies its operations in four major business segments. The
Company currently derives a majority of its revenues (58% and 68% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively) from the production
of business communications and entertainment events for corporate clients. The
Company works with its clients to develop creative programming to deliver
messages to the client's targeted audiences. The Company receives a fee for
providing these services, which may include developing creative content,
designing audio/visual presentations and arranging for live entertainment and
related production services, including lights and sound. Revenue is recognized
when the services are completed for each event. Costs of producing the events
are also deferred until the event occurs.

The remainder of the Company's revenues are generated from event merchandising
(12% and 23% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively), artist management (4% and 5% of total revenues for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively) and entertainment
marketing (25% and 3% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively). Event merchandising revenue is recognized when the
merchandise is shipped or sold to the customer. Cost of sales includes the
direct cost of acquiring or producing the merchandise. Artist management
revenue, which generally consists of commissions received from artists'
earnings, is recognized in the period in which the artist earns the revenue.
Generally, there are only minimal direct costs associated with generating artist
management revenue. Entertainment marketing revenues and cost of revenues are
recognized when the services are completed for each program or, for those
programs with multiple events, apportioned to each event and recognized as each
event occurs.

Through December 31, 1999, the Company also developed and produced entertainment
marketing programs and special events through Warner/TBA, a joint venture with
an affiliate of Time Warner. The Company accounted for these activities using
the equity method of accounting. Effective December 31, 1999, the formal joint
venture agreement reached the end of its term. Accordingly, beginning in January
2000, the Company has recognized all revenue and expenses associated with
entertainment marketing programs that were previously executed by the Warner/TBA
joint venture. TBA will pay Time Warner a net profits interest for certain of
the 2000 programs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

Results of operations of each of the 2000 Acquisitions and each of the 1999
Acquisitions are included from the corresponding acquisition dates.

Revenues increased $36,819,300, or 107%, to $71,290,400 in the 2000 period from
$34,471,100 in the 1999 period. Of the increase, $18,046,700 came from corporate
meeting and entertainment events. Although the number of corporate meeting and
entertainment events decreased to 315 in the period from 395 in the 1999 period,
the average revenue per event increased to $132,300 in the 2000 period from
$59,700 in the 1999 period. The Company continues to aggressively pursue larger
corporate meeting and entertainment events with Fortune 1000 companies. In the
2000 period, the Company produced 36 events with revenues in excess of $250,000
compared to 20 such events in the 1999 period.

Entertainment marketing revenues increased $17,110,700 to $17,971,800 for the
2000 period from $861,100 for the 1999 period, due primarily to the 2000
consolidation of Warner/TBA programs, which added approximately $9,061,800 of
revenues. In addition, the Company recognized revenues in the fairs and
festivals sector, resulting from the acquisitions of Romeo and EJD, which
contributed approximately $7,720,400 of revenues.

Event merchandising revenues increased $1,037,600 to $8,830,000 for the 2000
period from $7,792,400 for the 1999 period, due primarily to a full nine months
of merchandising activities from the acquisition of KGA, which occurred in March
1999. Artist management revenues increased $624,200 for the 2000 period over the
1999 period, resulting primarily from an increase in the Company's artist
roster due to the acquisition of Atkins.

Cost of revenues increased $27,927,200, or 126%, to $50,131,900 for the 2000
period from $22,204,700 for the 1999 period. Cost of revenues, as a percentage
of revenues, increased to 70% for the 2000 period from 64% for the 1999 period.
The increase in cost of sales is due primarily to the 2000 increase in
entertainment marketing activities through the consolidation of Warner/TBA
programs and the addition of fairs and festivals, both of which have overall
higher cost of sales than the Company's other lines of business. In addition,
the company also experienced higher costs of sales in its merchandising
activities, resulting from increased revenues in the premiums merchandise
business which have higher cost of sales then the event merchandise business.

Cost of sales in the Company's corporate communications and artist management
businesses remained relatively consistent between periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7,974,200, or 88%, to
$17,044,800 for the 2000 period from $9,070,600 for the 1999 period. The
increase results primarily from increased personnel and related operating
expenses associated with the increased corporate meeting and entertainment
business, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses associated
with the 1999 Acquisitions, the 2000 Acquisitions and the consolidation of
activities previously accounted for by the Warner/TBA joint venture. The
increase is further explained by increased personnel and related expenses
incurred to develop an administrative and accounting infrastructure to manage
the Company's growth during the past year.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $707,600, or 54%, to $2,025,700
for the 2000 period from $1,318,100 for the 1999 period. The increase results
primarily from the amortization of goodwill associated with the 1999
Acquisitions and the 2000 Acquisitions.

For the 1999 period, the Company's 50% joint venture interest in Warner/TBA
resulted in a loss of $31,900. Revenues and operating expenses for Warner/TBA in
the 1999 period were $7,231,000 and $7,409,000, respectively. As discussed
above, in the 2000 period, all programs previously produced by Warner/TBA are
now included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company.

For the 2000 period, net interest expense was $109,300 compared to net interest
income of $226,600 for the 1999 period. The change is attributable to less
interest income earned on decreasing cash balances resulting from cash used for
acquisitions, debt repayments and stock repurchases and by increased interest
expense associated with outstanding debt related to the 1999 Acquisitions and
the 2000 Acquisitions.

The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income taxes from continuing
operations before income taxes, is 54% for the 2000 period compared to 40% for
the 1999 period, which reflect statutory tax rates adjusted for estimated
book/tax differences. The 2000



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

rate is higher due to the 1999 use of the last of the Company's operating loss
carryforwards available to offset taxable income and to the increase of
nondeductible amortization of goodwill from certain of the Company's
acquisitions.

Net income from continuing operations decreased $339,100 to $907,700 for the
2000 period from $1,246,800 for the 1999 period due to the reasons described
above.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

Results of operations of each of the 2000 Acquisitions and each of the 1999
Acquisitions are included from the corresponding acquisition dates.

Revenues increased $19,162,300, or 149%, to $32,020,500 in the 2000 quarter from
$12,858,200 in the 1999 quarter. Of the increase, $5,507,100 came from corporate
meeting and entertainment events. Although the number of corporate meeting and
entertainment events decreased to 98 in the 2000 quarter from 130 in the 1999
quarter, the average revenue per event increased to $144,900 in the 2000 quarter
from $66,600 in the 1999 quarter. The Company continues to aggressively pursue
larger corporate meeting and entertainment events with Fortune 1000 companies.
In the 2000 quarter, the company produced 19 events with revenues in excess of
$250,000 compared to 7 such events in the 1999 quarter.

Entertainment marketing revenues increased $13,577,400 to $13,914,300 for the
2000 quarter from $336,900 for the 1999 quarter, due primarily to the 2000
consolidation of the Warner/TBA programs, which added approximately $7,225,200
of revenues. In addition, the Company recognized revenues in the fairs and
festivals sector, resulting from the acquisitions of Romeo and EJD, which
contributed approximately $6,378,100 of revenues.

Event merchandising and artist management had revenue increases of $9,700 and
$60,200, respectively, for the 2000 quarter over the 1999 quarter. The Company
continues to search for additional merchandising programs to enhance revenue
growth in the event merchandising division. In addition, the Company continues
to attract new artists and new artist managers to continue the revenue growth in
the artist management division.

Cost of revenues increased $15,828,700, or 201%, to $23,688,400 for the 2000
quarter from $7,859,700 for the 1999 quarter. Cost of revenues, as a percentage
of revenues, increased to 74% for the 2000 quarter from 61% for the 1999
quarter. The increase in cost of sales is due primarily to the 2000 increase in
entertainment marketing activities through the consolidation of Warner/TBA
programs and the addition of fairs and festivals, both of which have overall
higher cost of sales than the Company's other lines of business. In addition,
the Company also experienced higher costs of sales in its merchandising
activities, resulting from increased revenues in the premiums merchandise
business which have higher cost of sales than the event merchandise business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,751,500, or 78%, to
$6,284,500 for the 2000 quarter from $3,533,000 for the 1999 quarter. The
increase results primarily from increased personnel and related operating
expenses associated with the increased corporate meeting and entertainment
business, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses associated
with the 2000 Acquisitions and the consolidation of activities previously
accounted for by the Warner/TBA joint venture.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $240,200, or 52%, to $705,800
for the 2000 quarter from $465,600 for the 1999 quarter. The increase results
primarily from the amortization of goodwill associated with the 1999
Acquisitions and the 2000 Acquisitions.

For the 1999 quarter, the Company's 50% joint venture interest in Warner/TBA
resulted in a gain of $6,100. Revenues and operating expenses for Warner/TBA in
the 1999 quarter were $2,052,800 and $2,092,100, respectively. As discussed
above, in the 2000 period all programs previously produced by Warner/TBA are
now included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company.

For the 2000 quarter, net interest expense was $3,900 compared to net interest
expense of $10,900 for the 1999 quarter.

The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income taxes from continuing
operations before income taxes, is 54% for the 2000 quarter compared to 41% for
the 1999 quarter, which reflect statutory tax rates adjusted for estimated
book/tax differences. The 2000 rate is higher due to the 1999 use of the last of
the Company's operating loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income
and to the increase of nondeductible amortization of goodwill from certain of
the Company's acquisitions.

Net income from continuing operations increased $23,300 to $612,900 for the 2000
quarter from $589,600 for the 1999 quarter due to the reasons described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position, funding
acquisitions and working capital needs from cash reserves and out of operating
cash flow. At September 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$8,394,300 and working capital of $2,905,100, including $3,196,200 of short term
borrowings and the current portion of long-term debt. Cash provided by
continuing operations was $4,305,100 for the first nine months of 2000 compared
to cash provided by continuing operations of $1,055,300 for the first nine
months of 1999. The fluctuation in cash provided by continuing operations
between the 2000 and 1999 periods primarily reflects the timing of deferred
revenue and prepaid expenses associated with programs occurring in following
periods.

Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2000 was
$4,805,400, resulting primarily from cash used for the Romeo and EJD
acquisitions and expenditures for property and equipment. Cash used in investing
activities for the first nine months of 1999 was $300,300, resulting primarily
from cash received from the sale of discontinued businesses, offset by cash used
for the KGA acquisition and expenditures for property and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2000 was
$3,953,000, resulting primarily from the repayment of borrowings and the
purchase of treasury stock. Cash used in financing activities for the first nine
months of 1999 was $2,709,200, resulting primarily from the purchase of treasury
stock and the repayment of borrowings.

The Company has pursued an aggressive growth strategy since its formation in
1993. From the Company's inception through December 31, 1997, the Company
acquired and operated certain businesses that were sold in 1998. The Company
relied on external sources of funds, including public offerings of its common
stock and bank borrowings, to finance the acquisition of these businesses and to
fund the general operations of the Company. In 1998, the Company realized net
proceeds of $19,393,800 from the sale of discontinued operations, after
repayment of borrowings associated with these businesses and applicable
transaction costs. In 1999, the Company received the final $3,000,000 of net
proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations.

The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these operations to
fund part of the purchase of AEG in 1997, the 1998 Acquisitions, the 1999
Acquisitions and the 2000 Acquisitions. The remainder of the purchase prices of
these acquisitions was funded through the issuance of common stock of the
Company and debt. The acquisition notes are payable in various installments of
principal plus accrued interest at 8% through April 2005.

The Company expects to continue its aggressive growth strategy in certain
sectors of the entertainment industry. The Company anticipates that future
business acquisitions made by the Company will be completed through a
combination of cash, issuance of notes payable to the sellers and the issuance
of the Company's common stock to the sellers.

Management believes that cash flow from operations and current cash reserves are
adequate to meet its current working capital requirements. In addition, to
provide any additional funds necessary for the continued pursuit of the
Company's growth strategies, the Company may issue additional equity and debt
securities and may incur, from time to time, additional short-term and long-term
bank indebtedness. The availability and attractiveness of any outside sources of
financing will depend on a number of factors, some of which relate to the
financial condition and performance of the Company, and some of which will be
beyond the Company's control, such as prevailing interest rates and general
economic conditions. There can be no assurance that such additional financing
will be available or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
To the extent that the Company is able to finance its growth through internal
and external sources of capital, the Company intends to continue to grow its
operations through additional acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to acquire any additional businesses, that any businesses
that are acquired will be or will become profitable or that the Company will be
able to effectively integrate any such businesses into its existing operations.
