PART I
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
General
Skyline Multimedia Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") is a holding
company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on November 2,
1993, which owns all of the outstanding stock of its operating subsidiaries, New
York Skyline, Inc. ("Skyline") and Skyline Virtual Reality, Inc. ("SVR"). The
Company is engaged in the development and operation of state-of-the-art
simulator attractions and high-technology and family entertainment at
established tourist sites in New York City. The Company's operating strategy is
to capture a large portion of the existing tourist traffic at these sites and to
expand its operations to other popular locations primarily in the United States.
All references to the "Company" contained herein include Skyline and SVR, except
where specifically noted.
On December 22, 1994, the Company commenced operations of its first
attraction, New York Skyride, which is located in the Empire State Building in
New York City. New York Skyride is an exhilarating simulated "aerial tour" of
New York City in a futuristic "spacecopter". New York Skyride features two 40
passenger flight simulators and related computer-controlled film projection
technologies to provide visitors with a complete "New York" experience,
including an extensive pre-show area featuring interactive multimedia exhibits
depicting the various tourist sites and attractions in and around the New York
Metropolitan area, and culminating in a seven and a half minute aerial
"adventure" in and around New York City. Passengers will not only experience the
sensations of an actual aerial flight, but will also experience visual images
projected on screens within the simulator that envelop the viewer with a variety
of sights and sounds. New York Skyride is intended to provide visitors with a
sensation of taking a "once in a lifetime" aerial adventure around New York
City. The Company believes that New York Skyride is identified with the focal
point of the tourism industry in New York City and one of the world's most
famous "must-see" attractions.
On December 27, 1996, the Company commenced operations, through SVR, of
an interactive virtual reality entertainment center, XS New York, which is
located in the heart of Times Square in New York City. XS New York features the
latest in virtual reality hardware and software, simulation technology and
interactive participation game experiences. Additionally, the facility includes
a "cybercafe" which offers light food and refreshments and computer terminals
which are linked to the World Wide Web and the Internet. XS New York was opened
on a preview basis until March 20, 1997, the date of its official Grand Opening.
Accordingly, revenues generated by XS New York during the 1997 fiscal year are
disproportionate to the expenses incurred to commence operations and the normal
overhead expenses attributable to such operations during such fiscal year.
During December 1996, the Company had signed a letter of intent to
develop a simulator attraction, similar to New York Skyride, to be located at
the base of the tower above the Centrepoint Shopping Center which adjoins the
world famous Sydney Tower (the "Tower") in Sydney, Australia. Centrepoint is the
leading shopping and tourist attraction in Sydney, Australia, and will be the
2
<PAGE>
merchandising and promotional center for the 2000 Olympics, which will take
place in Sydney. However, the Company was not successful in finalizing lease
negotiations with the landlord of the Tower or arranging for adequate financing
for its "Sydney Skyride" project. The Company was informed that the location was
subsequently leased to a group of investors whose intentions are to develop a
simulator attraction similar to New York Skyride. The Company is in the process
of seeking to license or sell to such investor group or other entertainment
companies the Australian-themed film footage taken by the Company. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully license or sell such
film to these investors or other entertainment companies.
The Company intends to use the expertise and experience which it gained
from the operation of New York Skyride and XS New York to develop these and
similar attractions at other locations primarily in the United States. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining
rights to other "prime" locations, procuring necessary financing or developing
these attractions in a timely and profitable manner.
The Company's revenues are generated primarily from ticket sales for
New York Skyride and game revenue at XS New York, with additional revenues
generated from the sale of food, beverages and souvenir merchandise. The Company
has entered into corporate sponsorship and advertising arrangements with certain
consumer product companies which provide additional revenues and marketing
exposure.
The Company's principal executive office is located at the Empire State
Building, 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10118 and its telephone number is
(212) 564-2224.
The New York Skyride Experience
New York Skyride is an adventure that is directly related to the New
York City tourist experience. The Company believes that New York Skyride
enhances a visit to the Empire State Building and to New York City by providing
an exciting, bird's-eye view of the landmarks and sites that cannot be seen from
any other vantage point.
Upon entering New York Skyride, visitors are treated as first-class
passengers about to depart on a futuristic helicopter flight and will proceed
into the pre-show heliport area (approximately 7,500 sq. ft.) where they are
introduced to multimedia displays depicting major New York City tourist
attractions as well as informational and entertaining film clips. These displays
have been designed and installed by certain of the Company's sponsors.
The pre-show area has interactive multimedia exhibits which provide the
background of certain tourist attractions in the New York City area. These
exhibits provide the visitor with useful knowledge about New York City and its
many popular tourist sites and a feeling of participation in the New York
Skyride experience.
Following a preflight briefing about "spacecopter" travel, passengers
will enter into one of the two spacecopters , which are 40 passenger
computer-controlled flight simulators. At the front of each simulator is a large
18' x 18' screen upon which a fast-paced film is displayed. The simulator
3
<PAGE>
also contains an advanced 8-channel digital sound system, with 4 dual
amplifiers, 400 watts per channel each (or 3,200 watts of total sound), to
provide passengers with an enhanced audio/visual experience.
Once the passengers are seated in the spacecopter, they begin a seven
and a half minute simulated flight that treats them to an array of New York City
scenes. Spectacular adventures await the passengers throughout their excursion.
For example, the spacecopter crashes into FAO Schwarz, the world's largest toy
store, passes directly under the Brooklyn Bridge, "dives" into a tunnel, crashes
into the East River, has a run-in with a New York City traffic cop, among other
exciting adventures. The spacecopter also visits many of New York City's other
tourist attractions, including Fifth Avenue, the World Trade Center Towers,
Central Park, Times Square and the Statue of Liberty. Since New York Skyride is
intended to be a family-oriented attraction, the film is designed to appeal to
the broadest audience and not purely the most adventurous thrill-seekers. The
film makes the Empire State Building the focal point of the attraction, with a
liftoff and landing taking place from atop the Empire State Building.
Once the spacecopter flight has been completed, passengers exit the
simulators and proceed to the exit lobby which contains a beverage, food and
souvenir concession area. All passengers are able to purchase souvenirs of their
visit to New York Skyride.
The XS New York Experience
XS New York is an interactive virtual reality entertainment center
located in the heart of Times Square in New York City. XS New York presents the
latest in entertainment technology, featuring cutting-edge virtual reality
hardware and software. Upon entering XS New York, guests are immediately
immersed in futuristic graphics, lighting, audio and video treatments. Guests
are introduced to interactive show action equipment and special effects areas
that offer each guest an opportunity to experience the latest in virtual reality
and related technologies. Some offer competition between players while others
will provide exploratory experiences. Tickets are purchased from a centrally
located ticket area. XS New York also features a "Cybercafe" which offers light
food and refreshments and computer terminals which are linked to the World Wide
Web and Internet.
Some attractions include a 3-dimensional action and visual presentation
allowing guests to view their own activity, the activity of competitors and the
attractions' vital statistics on giant overhead monitors and projection screens.
Some of the interactive virtual reality equipment can be programmed to function
as stand alone units or in conjunction with other players at other locations.
Simulator and Virtual Reality Technologies
The Company's motion simulator attractions utilize computer-controlled
aircraft flight simulators. Simex, Inc. (formerly Interactive Simulation, Inc.),
a Canadian company experienced in simulation technology, provided the
sophisticated computer hardware and software that coordinates the movements of
the simulator platform with the images projected on the screen. The range of
motion for the simulators is along six axes (that is, the simulators can create
up and down
4
<PAGE>
motions, right and left motions, angled motions to simulate turning or banking
while climbing or descending at varying degrees and a spin motion, or some
combination of the above). The movable platforms on which the simulators rest
and which move in synchronization with the film were developed by Moog, Inc., a
large defense contractor experienced in the adaptation of flight simulator
technology to the entertainment market.
A key component of the simulator technology is the "show control
system", which is a PC-based computer program that coordinates and manages the
motion and gyration of the simulator with the film and audio elements of the
program. For example, when the film image shows the spacecopter banking to the
right, there must be a precise, coordinated movement of the simulator in that
direction to both convince the passengers' senses that they are flying in a
spacecopter and prevent passenger disorientation. The speed of the film through
the projection system is faster than normal film, television or video footage,
which enhances the passengers' perception of motion and movement. The film is in
super 35mm format projected at 30 frames per second rather than standard 24
frames per second, which provides a sharper, more intense image. The projection
equipment is a fully automated system that eliminates the need for a projector
operator. The film was developed in conjunction with Chromavision Corp., a
production studio with extensive experience in fast-paced concept films.
XS New York features a wide assortment of the latest in entertainment
and virtual reality hardware and software technologies. The interactive virtual
reality technologies which are showcased at XS New York include: Alpine Racer -
a simulated slalom ski race, Daytona Speedway - a simulated car racing
experience, and Full Swing Golf - a simulated golf experience featuring the most
famous golf courses in the world; and a virtual PC-based game and sports "battle
ground" where players compete on-line and in person on stage. XS New York also
features a contemporary Cybercafe which serves food and beverages while
providing access to the World Wide Web and Internet from table-based PC computer
stations.
XS New York also features a retail area, which provides "XS" related
merchandise as well as specialty souvenirs. Since XS New York requires the use
of magnetic debit cards, a comprehensive database will be created indicating
customer demographics and preferences, which information the Company will use
for future software development, special event promotions and merchandise
selection.
The Empire State Building Location
New York Skyride is located on the second and third floors of the
Empire State Building, in a 21,800 square foot site that wraps around the south
and west sides of the building with an entrance situated adjacent to the main
lobby escalator that takes all visitors to the waiting area for the Observatory
elevators. Signs in the Empire State Building's lobby and in the Observatory
ticket purchase area make visitors to the Empire State Building aware of New
York Skyride. Most importantly, visitors who purchase tickets to the Observatory
are offered the choice of purchasing a combined Observatory/New York Skyride
ticket at a reduced price from separate purchases of tickets to both
attractions. The cost of an adult ticket to New York Skyride is $11.50, and the
cost of a combined ticket with the Observatory is $14.00 (the cost of a ticket
to the Observatory is $6.00).
5
<PAGE>
Children's rates, group rates and senior discounts are also offered along with
other promotional discounts.
The Empire State Building is a focal point for the tourism industry in
New York City. The Observatory, which opened in 1933 and is located on both the
102nd and the 86th floors, has achieved worldwide recognition and publicity, and
is a primary destination for a large percentage of New York City's tourist
traffic. Estimated paid attendance figures provided by management of the Empire
State Building for the last five years for the Observatory are summarized below.
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING OBSERVATORY
ADMISSION TICKET SALES (000'S)
YEAR 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
TOTAL ATTENDANCE 2,650 2,915 3,350 3,350 3,675
The Company believes that combined ticket sales at the Observatory's
ticket facilities together with the Company's marketing and promotional
campaigns will enable New York Skyride to attract approximately 20-25% of all
visitors to the Observatory; however, there can be no assurance that these
levels will be achieved. For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company's capture
rate of Observatory visitorship averaged approximately 16%, down from an average
of approximately 19% for the year ended June 30, 1997. The Company believes that
the decrease in the capture rate is a direct result of issues involving
management of the Empire State Building as set forth in a pending lawsuit by the
Company against the Empire State Building Company and others. See "Legal
Proceedings." The Company is currently engaged in discussions with management of
the Empire State Building to resolve this situation. However, there can be no
assurance that satisfactory resolution of any issues will be achieved or that
the capture rate will increase to previous levels.
The Times Square Location
The Company has leased approximately 13,000 square feet of space at
1457-1463 Broadway (at 42nd Street), New York, New York in the Business
Improvement District Entertainment Zone located in Times Square in New York
City. This space is being utilized for the Company's latest attraction, XS New
York, an interactive virtual reality entertainment center. Ideally situated in
the heart of Times Square, XS New York is part of the exciting revitalization of
Times Square along with such other notable names as Disney's New Amsterdam
Theater, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and AMC's 26-Plex Movie Theater, and is
located directly across from the World Famous Disney Store. The Times Square
area is visited by approximately 20 to 30 million tourists annually, employs
250,000 people and accommodates 1.5 million daily commuters. This incredible
density of people with significant disposable income continues to grow each year
and is expected to grow at a more significant rate as a result of the
revitalization efforts mentioned above. In addition, Times
6
<PAGE>
Square in New York City is the most popular place in the world on New Year's
Eve, particularly so as the millennium approaches.
Advertising and Promotional Plans
The Company intends to capitalize on the strength of its existing
locations with a multifaceted marketing, public relations and advertising
program that will heighten awareness about New York Skyride (including the fact
that it is the first such motion simulator attraction in New York City) and XS
New York among the more than 25 million persons, including tourists and
residents from the surrounding New York area, who visit New York City every
year. Advertising and promotional activities include a careful mix of paid
advertising and promotional and public relations activities.
In connection with New York Skyride, efforts to attract attendees from
the Observatory are focused within the Empire State Building itself. The
management of the Observatory has agreed to sell combined Observatory and New
York Skyride discounted admission tickets and to identify other opportunities
for shared promotional programs and other joint marketing activities. Pursuant
to the terms of the license agreement with the Observatory, any discount as a
result of combined ticket sales are deducted from the admission price of a New
York Skyride ticket. The non-discounted price of a New York Skyride ticket is
$11.50 for adults and $9.50 for children under the age of 12 years.
Promoting New York Skyride and XS New York to tourist boards (such as
The New York Convention & Visitors Bureau), travel agents, managers of group
activities and visitors to New York City, represents a primary focus of the
Company's marketing efforts for these attractions. Since tourists and visitors
are a primary target, special volume discounts are offered to groups such as
conventions and trade associations, as well as through travel agent packages.
School groups are also a significant market for New York Skyride and XS New
York, and special programs are being implemented to target these audiences,
especially during the slower tourist periods in the fall and winter months.
The Company will continue to market and promote its activities through
traditional print advertising in publications that go to New York City tourists
and others, as well as broaden its advertising and promotional programs to the
general public through local radio and newspaper advertising.
Corporate Sponsors
Management expects to continue to supplement ticket and game revenue
from its attractions by soliciting corporate sponsorships from certain consumer
product companies. It is expected that these sponsorships will generate
additional revenue for the Company through joint marketing and promotional
programs with these leading consumer product companies. As of June 30, 1998, the
Company had two major sponsorship agreements in connection with New York
Skyride, one with Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of New York, Inc. ("Pepsi"), a
major soft drink distributor, and one with Fuji Photo Film U.S.A. ("Fuji"), a
major distributor of photographic and magnetic imaging merchandise. The Fuji
sponsorship agreement expired in August 1998 and the Pepsi sponsorship
7
<PAGE>
agreement expires in May 1999. The Company believes that such arrangements will
result in greater market awareness and acceptance through the association of New
York Skyride with such corporate sponsors and their products. Corporate
sponsorships in connection with XS New York are being developed and the Company
expects such sponsorships to be a significant source of revenue and provide
significant marketing exposure.
Leases and License Agreements
The Company, through Skyline, entered into both a lease (the "Lease")
and an exclusive license agreement (the "License Agreement") with the Empire
State Building Company, the operator of the Empire State Building in New York
City, on February 26, 1993. The Lease of the premises located at the Empire
State Building is for a term of 20 years and contains rent escalation provisions
as described under "Description of Property" below and certain other provisions
relating to additional rent, taxes, utilities, prohibition against assignment
and cross-default provisions in the event of a default under the License
Agreement. The Company negotiated a modification to the Lease extending the term
of the Lease through June 30, 2016 to coincide with a new lease for an
additional 35,000 square feet of space adjacent to the New York Skyride
location. The term of the License Agreement has also been extended to coincide
with the new lease for additional space. See "Description of Property."
The License Agreement provides for the joint sale of tickets to the
Observatory and New York Skyride provided payments by the Company are made
monthly at an annual rate of $150,000 from April 1, 1995 through March 31, 1998;
$175,000 from April 1, 1998 through March 31, 2002; $200,000 from April 1, 2002
through March 31, 2006; $225,000 from April 1, 2006 through April 30, 2013, and
$186,000 from May 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016. The License Agreement also
provides for the reimbursement by the Company of certain costs and expenses
relating to the joint ticket sales and contains cross-default provisions in the
event of a default under the Lease.
Additionally during April 1996, the Company signed a ten-year renewable
lease for approximately 13,000 square feet of space in the Business Improvement
District Entertainment Zone located in Times Square in New York City. The rent
commencement date was February 1, 1997 and the lease provides for annual rental
payments of $560,345 for each of the first five years of the lease and $644,000
for each of the last five years of the lease. During June 1997, the Company
negotiated a lease amendment which included an additional 5,760 square feet at
an annual rental of approximately $29,000.
During September 1996, the Company entered into a 15 year lease
commencing September 1, 1997 for space to house its second interactive virtual
reality entertainment center in the Woodfield Mall located outside of Chicago in
Schaumberg, Illinois. In connection with the execution of the lease, the Company
was required to provide a standby letter of credit in the amount of $200,000 in
favor of the landlord. As a result of construction delays due to the lack of
sufficient funding, the Company did not commence operations on the date required
in the lease. In December 1997, the Company received notice that the landlord
had re-entered the premises occupied by the Company as a result of certain
defaults and has declared such lease terminated. In June 1998 the Company
entered into a Settlement Agreement with the landlord whereby the Company agreed
to pay $50,000
8
<PAGE>
(which amount was paid subsequent to year-end) in consideration of such lease
termination. The landlord, in return, has released the Company from any
obligations in connection with the lease. The Company has expensed the
unamortized portion of the cost incurred in connection with obtaining the lease
of approximately $640,000, including accrued rent, security deposits and other
assets relating to the project.
Patents and Trademarks
The Company does not hold any patents relating to New York Skyride or
XS New York and their related technologies. Accordingly, the Company's concept
is not proprietary and is subject to duplication and competition from entities
with greater resources and strengths than the Company. The success of the
Company's business relies heavily on the strength of its location and lease
terms. The Company has obtained a registered trademark for the name "New York
Skyride" and "XS". However, during November 1997, the Company agreed to sell the
"XS" trademarks and related intellectual property rights to an equipment
supplier. In return, the Company renegotiated its revenue sharing agreement to
provide for a significantly lower percentage of revenue payable to such
supplier. In connection with the revised revenue sharing arrangement, the
equipment supplier forgave approximately $427,000 owed by the Company. The
Company, pursuant to a three-year renewable license agreement, can continue to
use the "XS" trademarks and related concepts at its Times Square location.
Competition
New York Skyride and XS New York compete with all other New York City
tourist attractions and cultural events such as museums, Broadway shows and
other landmarks. These attractions are quite different "experiences" from that
of a trip aboard the spacecopter (which the Company believes is the first
attraction of its type in New York City) or an experience encompassing the
latest in virtual reality and simulator technologies, but they present intense
competition for attendance and visitor dollars. These other attractions are
generally more established, and are owned and operated by entities that have
greater financial resources and managerial expertise than the Company.
Additionally, a major entertainment complex is being developed at Times Square
which will include entertainment attractions from companies such as Disney,
American Cinema, Madame Tussaud and other large entertainment companies.
Further, a simulator attraction opened in March 1997 at the World Trade Center
Towers and a non-New York related simulator opened in October 1996 on the lower
level of the Empire State Building, which ceased operations in February 1998.
There can be no assurance that other virtual reality and simulator attractions
will not commence operations in the New York area in the future.
Insofar as motion simulation technologies, including show control
systems (and related projection and audio technologies), are subject to
improvements and enhancements, it is possible that competitive attractions will
be able to offer a more technologically advanced "experience" to a customer than
the experience offered by New York Skyride. Also, the Company believes that a
number of attractions, utilizing so-called "virtual reality" imaging
technologies, or large film format technologies with enhanced 3-dimensional
projection technologies, are likely to open in the New York area within the near
future. These attractions do not depend on motion simulators for their
9
<PAGE>
special effects, and they are also likely to be developed and operated by
companies that have significantly greater financial, managerial and promotional
experience and resources than the Company. While these attractions may not offer
a directly competitive "product" to New York Skyride (i.e., an aerial adventure
in New York City) or XS New York, their presence will certainly create
significant competition for the Company to attract visitors to New York Skyride
and XS New York. The Company will compete with these entities primarily on the
basis of location, uniqueness of product, marketing and price.
To the extent the Company develops similar attractions at landmark
locations in other cities, it is likely to face intense competition from
established cultural and historical attractions owned and operated by entities
with significantly greater resources than the Company. The Company is also
likely to face intense competition for the right to operate at other landmark
locations.
Employees
As of September 25, 1998, the Company employed nine management persons
(other than the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officers) on a full-time basis. The
Company also employs approximately 156 non-management personnel who typically
work one of three shifts during a 95 hour work week. In August 1997, the
employees of XS New York voted in favor of union representation. Accordingly,
the Company is currently negotiating with representatives of the union with
respect to a variety of issues to be embodied in a formal contract upon
conclusion of negotiations. The Company does not believe that such union
representation or contract negotiations will have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Company's executive offices are located at the Empire State
Building at 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York. These offices consist of 4,400
square feet leased at an annual base rental of $101,000, beginning September 1,
1994, escalating to $110,000 over the five year term of the lease.
On February 26, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with the
operator of the Empire State Building for the lease of approximately 17,800
square feet on the second floor of the Empire State Building for a term of 20
years. However, the Company negotiated a modification of the lease extending the
term through and including June 30, 2016 to coincide with its lease for
additional space as described below. Annual base rent through March 31, 1998 was
$338,371; from April 1, 1998 through March 31, 2002 is $391,798; from April 1,
2002 through March 31, 2006 is $445,225; from April 1, 2006 through March 31,
2009 is $498,642; from April 1, 2009 through April 30, 2013 is $534,270; from
May 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016 is $441,663. Such annual rent is payable
monthly and subject to additional amounts for taxes and utilities. The Company
was not required to pay the first 21 months rent which is being amortized over
the term of the Lease.
The Company also leases an additional 4,000 square feet located above
the primary leased premises. The Company uses such additional space to
accommodate a larger screen (18' X 18') on which to show the New York Skyride
film. The term of this lease coincides with the term of the
10
<PAGE>
Lease and License Agreement, as modified, at an annual base rental for such
additional space of $76,000 escalating to $120,000 over the term of the lease.
During April 1996, the Company signed a 20 year renewable
lease for an additional 35,000 square feet within the Empire State Building
adjacent to the New York Skyride facility. The lease term commenced July 1, 1997
and provides for rental payments by the Company at an annual rate of $529,000
through July 31, 1997; $565,000 from August 1, 1997 through July 31, 1998;
$600,000 from August 1, 1998 through July 31, 1999; $619,000 from August 1, 1999
through July 31, 2000; $741,000 from August 1, 2000 through July 31, 2004;
$811,000 from August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2007; $882,000 from August 1, 2007
through July 31, 2010; $953,000 from August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2013; and
$1,023,000 from August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2016. This lease contains rent
escalation provisions and certain other provisions relating to additional rent,
taxes, utilities, and prohibitions against assignment. Included in the lease is
a rent credit of $1,363,000 to be applied in equal monthly installments against
the base rent over the first 60 months of the lease. The Company had intended to
utilize the additional space in the Empire State Building to create a mixed use
location based entertainment center which would likely require a partner with
significantly greater financial resources than the Company. However, development
plans for the additional space have been deferred until the Company resolves its
litigation with the Empire State Building Company. See "Legal Proceedings." It
is likely, however, that the Company will be unable to develop this additional
space in the near term, in which event, the Company will be forced to surrender
this space to the Empire State Building or assign or sublet such space. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Additionally during April 1996 the Company entered into a ten year
renewable lease with the owners of 1457-1463 Broadway, New York, New York for
approximately 13,000 square feet of space. The Company currently occupies the
ground floor and mezzanine level and commenced full operations of its
interactive virtual reality entertainment center in March 1997. See "The XS New
York Experience". The rent commencement date was February 1, 1997 and annual
rental payments are $560,345 for each of the first five years and $644,000 for
each of the last 5 years of the lease. During June 1997 the Company amended the
lease to include 5,760 square feet of additional space at an annual rental of
approximately $29,000. Such annual rent is payable monthly and subject to
additional amounts for taxes. The lease contains a cancellation clause
exercisable at any time in the event the landlord commences construction of
office buildings and uses incidental thereto on the site at some future date.
Should the landlord exercise the cancellation clause, the Company would be
required to vacate the space within six months after notice, but would be
entitled to reimbursement during the first five years of the lease of a portion
of its out-of-pocket construction costs, not to exceed $125 per square foot. In
the event the lease is canceled, the Company will incur a charge to earnings
equal to the unamortized portion of its investment (adjusted for assets which
are sold and reimbursed construction costs) at the time of such lease
cancellation. The Company has become aware of plans by the landlord to sell the
property to a developer. The Company is not certain of the timing of the sale of
such property or whether such developer will construct office buildings and uses
incidental thereto on the site. The Company has not received notice of exercise
of the cancellation clause and believes that the site may continue to operate
through June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had taken a write-down
of approximately $3,644,000 of the carrying value of
11
<PAGE>
its assets at XS New York. However, there can be no assurance that the landlord
will not cancel the lease earlier. Cancellation of the lease will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial condition
taken as a whole.
The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its current
and expected future levels of operations.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Knightsbridge, Ltd.,
a construction contractor hired by the Company in connection with its XS New
York project. The action, commenced in June 1997, in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York has been settled subsequent to the fiscal year end. Plaintiff
alleged, among other things, non-payment of approximately $1,500,000 due under a
construction contract with the Company plus costs and fees. The Company has
settled this action by paying plaintiff and one of its subcontractors an
aggregate of $750,000, except that three subcontractors hired by plaintiff have
refused to become parties to such settlement and maintain that the Company owes
them an aggregate of $195,000, against which the Company has established an
adequate reserve. Accordingly, the Company believes that the outcome of any
remaining claims of the subcontractors will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
On December 23, 1997 the Company filed an action in the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, County of New York, against Empire State Building
Company ("ESBCo"), Empire State Building Associates, Helmsley-Spear, Inc.
et.al., seeking, among other things, injunctive relief to prohibit the ESBCo
from terminating the Company's Lease and the License Agreement relating to the
New York Skyride and also seeking damages from the ESBCo. The basis for the
Company's claims are, among other things, the lack of cooperation by the ESBCo
and its staff in violation of the Lease and the License Agreement, as well as
bad faith, fraud and self-dealing on the part of the ESBCo and certain members
of its management staff. The Company has received a preliminary injunction,
which, among other things, prohibits the ESBCo from terminating or canceling the
Lease and the License Agreement and restrains the ESBCo from interfering with
the Company's business or commencing any proceedings with respect to the Lease
and the License Agreement. A hearing with respect to the temporary restraining
order was held on February 6, 1998. The decision by the Judge was received on
April 3, 1998, which ordered the Company to pay $838,000 in undisputed rent,
submitted the determination of disputed rent amounts to a referee pursuant to a
hearing currently scheduled in October 1998, and granted the Company's motion
for a preliminary injunction. The Company intends to proceed with discovery with
respect to its other claims for damages against the ESBCo and its affiliates.

PART II
Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON EQUITY
Prior to February 14, 1994, the date of the Company's initial public
offering, there was no public market for the Units, Common Stock, Class A
Warrants or Class B Warrants (as defined below). Until December 31, 1997, each
of these classes of securities were quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under
the symbols "SKYLU," "SKYL," "SKYLW" and "SKYLZ," respectively. Only the Common
Stock and the Units remain listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. However, on
September 3, 1998, representatives of the Company and its institutional lenders
met with Nasdaq in connection with a hearing to determine the Company's
eligibility to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market. Nasdaq's hearing panel requested the Company to furnish it with
additional information with respect to the amount of time within which it will
take for the Company to accomplish its proposed plan of compliance. The Company
has submitted such additional information to Nasdaq on September 15, 1998 and is
hopeful that a decision will be rendered by the hearing panel by early October
1998. There can be no assurance that a decision will be rendered by such time or
that such decision will be favorable to the Company. Further, such decision may
be subject to conditions or other restrictions which the Company may not be able
to comply with or which may make it more difficult to trade in the Company's
securities. An unfavorable decision will result in the immediate delisting of
the Company's Common Stock from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market irrespective of the
Company's ability to appeal such decision. Any such delisting will have an
adverse impact on the liquidity of the Company's securities, which may then
trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or the over-the-counter market, which may make
it more difficult to trade in the Company's securities or liquidate an
investor's holdings. Also, such delisting may make it more difficult for the
Company to raise additional capital.
The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for the
Units, Common Stock, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants for the fiscal
periods indicated as reported by Nasdaq or in the over-the-counter market. The
quotations shown represent inter-dealer prices without adjustment for retail
mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions, and may not necessarily reflect actual
transactions.

The per share closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported by
Nasdaq on September 22, 1998 (the date of the last reported sale) was $.50. As
of September 22, 1998, the Company had in excess of 400 beneficial shareholders
and 21 shareholders of record.
Item 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operational Overview
From its inception until December 22, 1994, the Company's primary
activities consisted of developmental activities, including the preparation of
plans relating to the design of New York Skyride; negotiation of a lease and a
license agreement with the operators of the Empire State Building (the location
for New York Skyride); working with engineers, architects, contractors,
designers, and other parties in connection with the construction and operation
of New York Skyride; developing software and video films in connection with New
York Skyride; developing marketing
14
<PAGE>
strategies; initiating marketing and corporate sponsorship activities by
identifying and contacting potential strategic alliances; selecting a management
team; and obtaining financing.
On December 22, 1994, the Company commenced operations of New York
Skyride and began generating revenue from ticket sales to the attraction and the
sale of merchandise at its souvenir/concession area. New York Skyride was opened
on a preview basis until February 21, 1995, the date of its official Grand
Opening.
For the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the facility was visited by
approximately 600,000 and 670,000 customers, respectively. Revenues generated
during the year ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 aggregated $10,834,000 and
$8,774,000, respectively, consisting of $9,532,000 and $7,223,000, respectively,
from ticket sales and game revenue, $1,031,000 and $1,200,000, respectively,
from the sale of food and merchandise at its souvenir/concession areas, and
$271,000 and $351,000, respectively, from sponsorship income. During the year
ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred a net loss of ($3,369,000). The net
loss of ($8,235,000) for the year ended June 30, 1998 was due, in part, to a net
loss at New York Skyride of approximately ($644,000) as a result of a decrease
in attendance at New York Skyride, approximately $740,000 in rent expense
relating to the additional space in the Empire State Building, approximately
$275,000 for legal fees in connection with its financing agreement with its
institutional investors and legal proceedings against the ESBCo and
approximately $180,000 relating to the proposed warrant exchange offer, which
was terminated on November 4, 1997. Additionally, the Company incurred a net
loss at XS New York of approximately ($1,373,000) and was required to record an
impairment loss and write-down approximately $3,644,000 of the carrying value of
its assets at XS New York as a result of the existence of the cancellation
clause in its lease and the published reports of a sale of the property. The
Company also recorded a loss of approximately $224,000 relating to the
retirement of certain virtual reality equipment at XS New York.
During September 1996, the Company entered into a 15 year lease for
approximately 21,000 square feet of space in the Woodfield Mall outside of
Chicago, in Schaumberg, Illinois. The Company, through a subsidiary, had plans
to develop an interactive virtual reality entertainment center similar to the XS
New York project. In connection with the execution of the lease, the Company was
required to provide a $200,000 irrevocable letter of credit as security for the
performance of the Company's obligations under the lease. As a result of
construction delays due to the lack of sufficient funding, the Company did not
commence operations on the date required in the lease. The Company received
notice on December 22, 1997 that the landlord had re-entered the premises
occupied by the Company as a result of certain defaults and had declared such
lease terminated. In June 1998 the Company entered into a settlement agreement
with the landlord whereby the Company agreed to pay $50,000 (which amount was
paid subsequent to year-end) in consideration of such lease termination. The
landlord, in return, has released the Company from any obligations in connection
with the lease. The Company has expensed the unamortized portion of the cost
incurred in connection with obtaining the lease of approximately $640,000,
including accrued rent, security deposits and other assets relating to the
project.
During December 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to develop
a simulator attraction, similar to New York Skyride, to be located at the base
of the Tower above the Centrepoint
15
<PAGE>
Shopping Center which adjoins the world famous Sydney Tower in Sydney,
Australia. However, the Company was not successful in finalizing lease
negotiations with the landlord of the Tower or arranging for adequate financing
for its "Sydney Skyride" project. The Company was informed that the location was
subsequently leased to a group of investors whose intentions are to develop a
simulator attraction similar to New York Skyride. The Company is in the process
of seeking to license or sell to such investor group, or other entertainment
companies, the Australian-themed film footage taken by the Company. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully license or sell such
film to these investors or other companies, in which event, the Company may be
required to write-off the full amount of the $990,000 expended in connection
with this project as of June 30, 1998 (of which more than half has already been
written off).
Results of Operations
Revenues. Revenues generated for the year ended June 30, 1998 were
$10,834,000 as compared to $8,774,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. The
increase in revenues from the prior year is primarily due to a full year of
operations from the Company's XS New York facility, which accounted for total
revenues of $4,810,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
$2,449,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Management expects to continue to supplement its primary revenue stream
from ticket sales for New York Skyride and game revenue at XS New York by
soliciting corporate sponsorships from consumer product companies. During the
years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company earned approximately $271,000
and $351,000, respectively, in sponsorship income as a result of monthly fees
and capital improvements received from sponsors. Current agreements with the
Company's sponsors (one of which expired in August 1998 and one of which expires
in May 1999) are expected to provide annual sponsorship fees aggregating
approximately $75,000 for the year ending June 30, 1999.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses incurred for the year ended June
30, 1998 aggregated $17,901,000 as compared to $11,325,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1998. The increase is due, in part, to an increase of approximately
$740,000 in rent expense relating to the additional space in the Empire State
Building and approximately $275,000 for legal fees in connection with its
financing agreement with its institutional investors and legal proceedings
against the ESBCo. The Company was required to record an impairment loss and
write-down approximately $3,644,000 of the carrying value of its assets at XS
New York as a result of the existence of the cancellation clause in its lease
and the published reports of a sale of the property. The Company also recorded a
loss of approximately $224,000 relating to the retirement of certain virtual
reality equipment at XS New York. In addition, the Company has, as a result of
negotiations with certain creditors, recorded an extraordinary gain from
restructuring of liabilities of approximately $659,000 for the year ended June
30, 1998. Additionally, as a result of defaults on the Woodfield Mall lease and
the Sydney Skyride project, the Company incurred expenses for the year ended
June 30, 1998 relating to these projects aggregating approximately $1,155,000.
These costs included rent accrued during the period as well as the write-off of
all assets acquired and project costs and expenses relating to these facilities.
Also, included in operating expenses for the
16
<PAGE>
year ended June 30, 1998 is approximately $180,000 relating to the proposed
warrant exchange offer, which was terminated on November 4, 1997.
Net Loss and Loss Per Share. Basic and diluted net loss and loss per
share available to common shareholders before deferred taxes were ($8,235,000)
and ($4.92) for the year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to ($3,029,000) and
($1.75) for the year ended June 30, 1997. The net loss for the year ended June
30, 1998 included a net loss of approximately ($1,373,000) related to XS New
York (see "Operating Expenses" above), a net loss of approximately ($644,000)
from New York Skyride, and a net loss of approximately ($1,155,000) related to
expenses incurred as a result of defaults on the Woodfield Mall lease and
project costs in connection with the Sydney Skyride project. However, for the
year ended June 30, 1998, New York Skyride had net income from operations
(before interest expense and taxes) of approximately $270,000 (excluding legal
fees from its financing agreement and legal proceedings with the ESBCo,
impairment loss, warrant exchange offer expenses and rent on additional space at
the Empire State Building), as compared to a net loss from operations (before
interest expense and taxes) of approximately ($168,000) for the year ended June
30, 1997. Net income from operations at New York Skyride improved from the
previous year as a result of a reduction in overhead at New York Skyride. XS New
York incurred a net loss from operations (before interest expense and taxes) of
approximately ($658,000) for the year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to a net
loss from operations (before interest expense and taxes) of approximately
($2,171,000) for the year ended June 30, 1997. XS New York was opened on a
preview basis until March 20, 1997, the date of its official grand opening.
Accordingly, revenues generated by XS New York during the 1997 fiscal year are
disproportionate to the expenses incurred to commence operations and the normal
overhead expenses attributable to such operations during such fiscal year.
As a result of operating loss carry forwards from prior years, the
Company recognized a net deferred tax expense of $340,000 or $.19 per share for
the year ended June 30, 1997. For the year ended June 30, 1998 there was a
provision for certain state and local taxes on capital aggregating $12,000 with
no benefit recognized for net operating loss carry forwards.
Working Capital Deficiency. Working capital deficiency at June 30,
1998, was approximately ($4,911,000) compared to a working capital deficiency of
approximately ($4,210,000) at June 30, 1997. The increase in working capital
deficiency is primarily the result of the loss from operations for the year
ended June 30, 1998 which included rent expense relating to the additional space
in the Empire State Building of approximately $740,000, legal fees in connection
with its financing agreement with its institutional investors and legal
proceedings against the ESBCo of approximately $275,000 and costs relating to
the proposed warrant exchange offer, which was terminated on November 4, 1997,
of approximately $180,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In February 1994, the Company consummated an initial public offering
("IPO") of 1,495,000 Units (the "Units") (including exercise of the
over-allotment option in April 1994), each Unit consisting of one share of
Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), one Redeemable Class A
Warrant (the "Class A Warrants") and one Redeemable Class B Warrant (the "Class
B Warrants"). Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase, at
any time until February
17
<PAGE>
14, 1999, one share of Common Stock and one Class B Warrant at an exercise price
of $6.01, as adjusted. Each Class B Warrant entitles the holder thereof to
purchase, at any time until February 14, 1999, one share of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $7.91 per share, as adjusted. The Class A Warrants and Class B
Warrants are subject to redemption under certain conditions. The Company
received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $6,200,000 in connection with
this offering, which proceeds were used principally for the development of New
York Skyride.
Further, 670,000 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Class A
Common Stock (which is identical to the Common Stock in all respects, except
that each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to five votes per share)
were forfeited, pursuant to an escrow arrangement entered into in connection
with the Company's IPO, as the Company failed to attain certain pretax earnings
targets or per share market price targets as of June 30, 1998.
On July 7, 1995, in order to pay the Company's creditors, provide
capital for future growth and expansion and allow for an extensive promotional
and marketing campaign, the Company consummated a private placement with
Prospect Street NYC Discovery Fund, L.P. ("Prospect Street") whereby 1,090,909
shares of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock") were sold for gross proceeds of $2.75 per share aggregating $3,000,000.
The Preferred Stock was convertible into Common Stock of the Company at any time
on a share-for-share basis, which was substantially adjusted to a conversion
rate of 6.91 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock. The
holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to an aggregate of up to 24.9% of
the outstanding voting power of the Company on all matters which come before the
shareholders. Additionally, so long as 272,727 shares of Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, the holders thereof will have the ability to obtain up to 50.1% of
the outstanding voting power of the Company and elect a majority of the Board of
Directors in the event the holders of the Preferred Stock determine in good
faith that such action is reasonably necessary for the protection of their
investment. Since Prospect Street is a Small Business Investment Company subject
to the regulatory oversight of the Small Business Administration ("SBA"), the
exercise of this control provision cannot be made arbitrarily and is subject to
SBA review. The Preferred Stock is subject to a Registration Rights Agreement
granting both demand and piggyback registration rights.
At June 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
approximately ($4,911,000) compared to a working capital deficiency of
($4,210,000) at June 30, 1997 which was due primarily to the loss from
operations for the year ended June 30, 1998 which included rent expense relating
to the additional space in the Empire State Building of approximately $740,000,
legal fees in connection with its financing agreement with its institutional
investors and legal proceedings against the ESBCo of approximately $275,000 and
costs relating to the proposed warrant exchange offer, which was terminated on
November 4, 1997, of approximately $180,000. Since inception, the Company spent
approximately $6,613,000 related to capital expenditures with respect to New
York Skyride and approximately $7,955,000 related to capital expenditures and
leasing costs with respect to XS New York. However, as of June 30, 1998, the
Company recorded an impairment loss and has taken a write-down of approximately
$3,655,000 of the carrying value of its assets at both New York Skyride and XS
New York and recorded a loss of approximately $224,000 relating to the
retirement of certain virtual reality equipment. Additionally, the Company had
expenditures of approximately
18
<PAGE>
$873,000 for security deposits, financing costs and leasing costs associated
with the XS New York project.
As a result of the Company's development of XS New York, the Company
incurred capital expenditures of approximately $7,860,000, consisting of
$847,000 in design and consulting fees, $5,162,000 in construction and theming,
$253,000 for signage and approximately $1,598,000 for equipment purchases. As of
June 30, 1998, the Company has taken a write-down of approximately $3,619,000 of
the carrying value of these assets and a loss of approximately $224,000 relating
to the retirement of certain virtual reality equipment. In order to complete the
construction of XS New York and provide additional working capital for growth
and expansion, the Company raised additional secured and unsecured debt through
its relationships with its institutional investors and lenders as described
below.
The Company entered into a revenue-sharing arrangement with the major
equipment supplier of the games and attractions at XS New York. For the period
ended June 30, 1997, amounts earned by such supplier under the revenue-sharing
arrangement aggregated approximately $427,000. However, during November 1997,
the Company agreed to sell the "XS" trademarks and related intellectual property
rights to such supplier. In return, the Company renegotiated its revenue-sharing
agreement to provide for a significantly lower percentage of revenue payable to
such supplier. In connection with the revised revenue-sharing arrangement, the
equipment supplier also forgave approximately $427,000 owed by the Company. The
Company, pursuant to a three-year renewable license agreement, will continue to
use the "XS" trademarks and related concepts at its Times Square location.
On December 20, 1996, the Company entered into a Senior Credit
Agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement") with Prospect Street and Bank of New
York, as Trustee for the Employees Retirement Plan of the Brooklyn Union Gas
Company ("BUG"), to obtain up to $4,100,000 in senior unsecured subordinated
debt which accrues interest at an annual rate of 14% and requires the payment of
both principal and interest five years from the date of issuance. The Senior
Credit Agreement was subsequently amended to increase the amount of the
subordinated debt to $4,450,000 and to provide for the inclusion of additional
lenders. Of such increased amount $2,500,000 was received by the Company from
BUG and a related pension fund and $1,950,000 was received by the Company from
Prospect Street and its affiliates. In connection with the Senior Credit
Agreement, BUG and its related pension fund received warrants to purchase up to
an aggregate of 243,904 shares of Common Stock and Prospect Street and its
affiliates received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 190,242 shares of
Common Stock, each exercisable until December 20, 2006 at an exercise price of
$4.25 per share. A purchase price of $1.00 per warrant was allocated from the
subordinated debt proceeds received by the Company. As part of this financing,
on November 6, 1996, Prospect Street provided the Company with a demand loan of
$1,500,000, at an annual interest rate of 14%, which loan was exchanged for a
portion of the subordinated debt under the Senior Credit Agreement.
During June 1997, the Company received an additional $500,000 loan from
Prospect Street. During December 1997, the Company received a $500,000 loan from
a bank bearing interest at the rate of 7.6% per annum that is secured by a
Certificate of Deposit from Prospect Street.
19
<PAGE>
On April 15, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a
Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with the Bank of New
York, as Trustee for the Employees Retirement Plan of Keyspan Energy Corp.
("Keyspan") and Prospect Street (together with Keyspan, the "Institutional
Investors") relating to the financing of an aggregate of $935,000 ($500,000 from
Keyspan and $435,000 from Prospect Street) (the "Financing"), in exchange for
receipt by the Institutional Investors of senior secured promissory notes (the
"Notes") and the issuance of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Company (the "Warrants"). The Notes matured on July 15, 1998 (the "Maturity
Date"), accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 14% and are secured (with
certain exceptions) by all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Notes and the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Warrants are also
collateralized by a pledge of the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. In
connection with the Credit Agreement, Keyspan also received the right to appoint
two members to the Company's Board of Directors. Further, as a result of the
issuance of Warrants in connection with the Financing, the conversion rate of
the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") held by Prospect Street was
adjusted from a conversion rate of one share of Common Stock for each share of
Preferred Stock to a conversion rate of 6.91 shares of Common Stock for each
share of Preferred Stock. On May 29, 1998, the credit agreement was amended to
increase the loan amount funded by Keyspan from an aggregate of $500,000 to
$1,850,000 which increased the total financing from $935,000 to $2,285,000.
Additionally, subsequent to June 30, 1998, the financing was further amended to
include under its terms the $500,000 demand loan to the Company from Prospect
Street in June 1997.
The Warrants are exercisable for 94% of the fully diluted Common Stock
of the Company (after issuance) at an exercise price of $.375 per share.
Accordingly, the exercise of such Warrants by the Institutional Investors will
result in a significant change in the ownership of the Company. The Company
approved this transaction after consideration of its alternatives and financial
situation. The Warrants are exercisable for approximately 173 million shares of
Common Stock for an exercise price of approximately $64.9 million, or, at the
option of the holder, pursuant to a cashless exercise feature, the difference in
shares between 173 million shares and that number of shares having a market
value equal to $64.9 million (i.e. at a market price per share of $.40, an
aggregate of 10.8 million shares of Common Stock will be issued) resulting in
significant dilution to existing shareholders.
In connection with the Financing, Zalman Silber, the Company's former
President and Chief Executive Officer, agreed to relinquish all positions in the
Company and its subsidiaries held by him and to deliver to the Company for
cancellation all of his options and warrants in the Company in exchange for the
forgiveness of amounts previously agreed to be refunded by Mr. Silber to the
Company in the amount of $750,000 and payment by the Company to Mr. Silber of
$206,250, and to transfer to Prospect Street all of his 960,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock (670,000 shares of which have been forfeited to the Company on
June 30, 1998 pursuant to existing escrow arrangements) in consideration for an
aggregate of $100 and the Financing by the Institutional Investors. The Company
and Mr. Silber also exchanged general releases. Mr. Silber has granted an
irrevocable proxy with respect to the vote of such Class A Common Stock to
Prospect Street until the remaining 290,000 shares of Class A Common Stock,
which are currently pledged as collateral in connection with a loan, can be
transferred upon release of such pledge. Mr. Silber has also agreed not to
compete with the Company or its subsidiaries in New York City for a period of
ten years.

Steven Schwartz, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, assumed a portion of the
responsibilities of the Office of the Chief Executive and has been designated as
Executive Director of Operations and Finance. The Company has hired Jay Berkman
as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Marketing and Business
Development, who will also assume a portion of the responsibilities of the
Office of the Chief Executive. The Board of Directors also appointed Steven
Vocino as Chairman of the Board.
A portion of the proceeds of the Financing were used to pay certain
undisputed rental amounts owing to the ESBCo pursuant to an order issued by the
Supreme Court of the State of New York on April 3, 1998 requiring the Company to
pay $838,000. With respect to the current legal proceedings, the judge granted
the preliminary injunction against the ESBCo and its affiliates. The issues with
respect to disputed rental amounts (approximately $800,000) were referred to a
referee for final determination pursuant to a hearing currently scheduled in
October 1998. The Company intends to proceed with discovery with respect to its
other claims for damages against the ESBCo and others.
On September 2, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a
Debt to Equity Conversion Agreement (the "Conversion Agreement") with its
Institutional Investors. Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, the Institutional
Investors have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to convert all of their
respective indebtedness of the Company (the "Debt"), approximately $7.235
million principal amount plus approximately $1.225 million of accrued interest
thereon (the "Initial Conversion Value") into approximately 8,460 shares of
Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series B
Preferred Stock"). The Institutional Investors have agreed to such conversion in
an effort to comply with certain Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq") net worth
criteria to maintain the listing of the Company's Common Stock on Nasdaq and to
make the Company's balance sheet and capital structure more attractive to
potential investors and the financial community. Provided the Company's listing
of its Common Stock on Nasdaq is maintained, the conversion of the Debt will be
subject to the approval of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock by the
shareholders of the Company at the next annual meeting of shareholders or,
alternatively, receipt from Nasdaq of a waiver of such shareholder approval
requirement.
The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to a
10% cumulative dividend when, as and if declared by the Board. The shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible by the holders thereof into that number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company calculated by dividing $1.30 into the
Initial Conversion Value of the Series B Preferred Stock (i.e., $1,000 per share
or an aggregate of $8.46 million), subject to adjustment, plus any accumulated
dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company, in whole
or in part, at any time upon payment of the Initial Conversion Value per share
(as adjusted from time to time), plus any accumulated dividends. The
Institutional Investors also have certain registration rights with respect to
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Additionally, on September 3, 1998, representatives of the Company and
the Institutional Investors met with Nasdaq in connection with a hearing to
determine the Company's eligibility to maintain the listing of its Common Stock
on Nasdaq. Nasdaq's hearing panel requested the Company to furnish it with
additional information with respect to the amount of time within which
21
<PAGE>
it will take for the Company to accomplish its proposed plan of compliance. The
Company has submitted such additional information to Nasdaq on September 15,
1998 and is hopeful that a decision will be rendered by the hearing panel by
early October 1998. There can be no assurance that a decision will be rendered
by such time or that such decision will be favorable to the Company. Further,
such decision may be subject to conditions or other restrictions which the
Company may not be able to comply with or which may make it more difficult to
trade in the Company's securities. An unfavorable decision will result in the
immediate delisting of the Company's Common Stock from Nasdaq irrespective of
the Company's ability to appeal such decision. Any such delisting will have an
adverse impact on the liquidity of the Company's securities, which may then
trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or the over-the-counter market, which may make
it more difficult to trade in the Company's securities or liquidate an
investor's holdings. Also, such delisting may make it more difficult for the
Company to raise additional capital.
During November 1996, an institutional lender agreed to finance the
acquisition of certain of the equipment for the Company's XS New York site up to
an aggregate of $1,327,000. Pursuant to this transaction, the Company received
proceeds of approximately $832,000 and an additional $495,000 is being held by
the lender as security. Such security is to be released after 24 months subject
to a satisfactory payment history by the Company. The lender has a first
security interest in all equipment financed and the Company's former president
has personally guaranteed up to $750,000 of the loan amount. The amount financed
will bear annual interest at 11 1/2% and is to be repaid in 48 monthly
installments. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued to such
institutional lender warrants to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.
During March 1997 the Company signed an agreement with its
institutional lender to finance the acquisition of additional equipment for XS
New York aggregating approximately $256,000. The terms of the loan are the same
as described in the previous paragraph except that the security amount withheld
by the lender is $51,000 and the personal guarantee from the Company's former
president is $125,000.
During December 1996, the Company refinanced certain loans on the
equipment located at its New York Skyride location for aggregate proceeds of
$1,500,000 of which approximately $491,000 was applied to satisfy amounts due
under the original loan. The loan bears annual interest at 11 1/2% and is to be
repaid in 48 monthly installments and is secured by a first lien on all
equipment at New York Skyride. The Company's former president has guaranteed up
to $250,000 of this loan.
During fiscal 1997, pursuant to the Company's stock buy-back program,
110,000 shares were purchased by the Company for an aggregate of approximately
$601,000. Such shares have been placed in treasury. The Company's stock buy-back
program, which authorized the purchase of up to 300,000 shares, has been
suspended.
The lease for the XS New York location contains a cancellation clause
exercisable at any time in the event the landlord commences construction of an
office building and uses incidental thereto on the site at some future date.
Should the landlord exercise the cancellation clause, the Company would be
required to vacate the space within six months after notice, but would be
entitled to
22
<PAGE>
reimbursement during the first five years of the lease of a portion of its
out-of-pocket construction costs, not to exceed $125 per square foot. In the
event the lease is canceled, the Company will incur a charge to earnings equal
to the unamortized portion of its investment (adjusted for assets which are sold
and reimbursed construction costs) at the time of such lease cancellation. The
Company has become aware of plans by the landlord to sell the property to a
developer. The Company is not certain of the timing of the sale of such property
or whether such developer will construct an office building on the site. As of
June 30, 1998, the Company was required to record an impairment loss and
write-down approximately $3,644,000 of the carrying value of its assets at XS
New York as a result of the existence of the cancellation clause in its lease
and the published reports of a sale of the property. The Company has not
received notice of exercise of the cancellation clause and believes that the
site may continue to operate through June 30, 2000. However, there can be no
assurance that the landlord will not cancel the lease earlier. Cancellation of
the lease will have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and
financial condition taken as a whole.
The Company's independent auditors have included an explanatory
paragraph in their report on the Company's financial statements to the effect
that certain matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, which is contingent upon, among other things, the
Company's ability to restucture its liabilities and attain profitable
operations. See Financial Statements.
The Company's long term goal is to develop simulator and other
location-based entertainment attractions in other major cities primarily in the
United States. There are, however, only a limited number of locations in a small
number of cities that are suitable for such attractions, and there can be no
assurance at all that the Company could obtain a lease at any such locations or
develop a successful attraction at such locations. Also, development of
additional attractions will require the Company to obtain financing for such
ventures, and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available,
or available on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the Company.
Additionally, it is possible that the Company would find it necessary to have
one or more local partners involved in any additional attractions it might
attempt to develop, further limiting the revenues that the Company could
generate from development of simulator or entertainment attractions at other
locations.
The Company continually explores expansion opportunities both in the
United States and abroad. From time to time, the Company may be involved in
negotiations for additional sites or other entertainment-based projects or
financing opportunities therefor, however, current negotiations, if any, are too
preliminary to warrant disclosure at this time. The Company will keep investors
informed as such negotiations mature.
Inflation
The Company believes that the impact of inflation on its operations
since its inception has not been material.
23
<PAGE>
Seasonality
The Company's business is seasonal in nature, based in part, on higher
volumes of tourists in the New York City Metropolitan area during the spring and
summer months and during the December holiday season. The Company will direct a
portion of its marketing and promotional efforts in the New York City
Metropolitan area to (i) attracting a larger percentage of the Observatory
traffic at the Empire State Building, thereby increasing volume to New York
Skyride and (ii) attracting visitors to XS New York, particularly during
non-peak seasons.
Year 2000 Compliance
There are issues associated with the programming code in existing
computer systems as the year 2000 approaches. The "year 2000 problem" is
pervasive and complex, as virtually every computer operation will be affected in
some way by the rollover of the two digit year value of 00. The issue is whether
computer systems will properly recognize date sensitive information when the
year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information
could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail. The Company has not
verified that companies doing business with it are year 2000 compliant. The
Company does not anticipate that it will incur significant operating expenses or
be required to invest heavily in computer system improvements to be year 2000
compliant. The Company believes that its attraction, ticketing, accounting and
other computer systems are currently year 2000 compliant. However, significant
uncertainty exists concerning the potential costs and effects associated with
year 2000 compliance. Any year 2000 compliance problem the Company encounters
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Skyline Multimedia Entertainment, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Skyline
Multimedia Entertainment, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
(capital deficiency) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
then ended. 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 financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Skyline Multimedia
Entertainment, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the
years in the two-year period then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A the Company has
experienced significant losses for each of the past two years ended June 30,
1998 and as of June 30, 1998 is in a negative working capital position. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE A - THE COMPANY
Skyline Multimedia Entertainment, Inc. ("SME") is a holding company engaged in
the development and operation of state-of-the-art entertainment attractions, and
together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, New York Skyline, Inc. ("NYSI"),
Skyline Virtual Reality, Inc. ("SVR"), and Skyline Chicago, Inc. ("SCI") are
referred to as the "Company". Its first site, which is located in the Empire
State Building in New York City, is owned and operated by NYSI which commenced
operations of its "New York Skyride" facility on December 22, 1994. The second
site, which is located in Times Square ("XS") in New York City, is owned and
operated by SVR which commenced operations of its interactive virtual reality
entertainment center on December 27, 1996.
The Company's business is somewhat seasonal in nature, based in part on higher
volumes of tourists during the spring and summer months and holiday seasons.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has
experienced recurring losses from operations and as of June 30, 1998 has a
working capital deficiency of $4,911,000 and a capital deficiency of $3,684,000.
Subsequent to the end of the year the Company has entered into an agreement with
certain of its debtholders to convert their debt to equity contingent upon
stockholders' approval and continued listing on the NASDAQ small cap market. The
Company is also currently in negotiations to restructure and settle certain of
its liabilities, and is postponing or not going forward with certain projects.
There is no assurance, however, that the conversion of debt to equity will take
place or that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate the
restructuring or settlement of certain liabilities. The above factors give rise
to substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements have not been adjusted to give
effect to the amount or classification of recorded assets or the classification
and amount of liabilities if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[1] Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Material intercompany
transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
[2] Loss per share:
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No.
128"). SFAS No. 128 requires the reporting of basic and diluted
earnings/loss per share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares
during the year. Diluted per share data includes the dilutive effects of
options, warrants and convertible securities. As all potential common
shares are anti-dilutive, they are not included in the calculation of
diluted loss per share. Loss per share for the year ended June 30, 1997
has been presented to conform to SFAS No. 128. There was no effect of
adoption of SFAS No. 128 on the financial statements.
[3] Inventory:
Inventory consists of clothing, souvenirs and food sold in the Company's
gift shop and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
[4] Property, equipment and leasehold improvements:
Property and equipment, including assets under capital leases are stated
at cost, less accumulated depreciation unless impaired, in which case a
charge is recognized to write-down such asset to its net realizable
amount. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets from three to twelve years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over
the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.
[5] Rent expense:
The Company, for financial accounting purposes, spreads scheduled rent
increases and rent holidays over the term of the lease using the
straight-line method.
[6] Management 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
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
[7] Stock-based compensation:
During fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 the Company implemented Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). The provisions of SFAS No. 123 allow
companies to either expense the estimated fair value of employee stock
options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" ("APB 25"), but disclose the pro forma effects on net loss
and net loss per share had the fair value of the options been expensed.
The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its
employee stock option incentive plans. (See Note J[4]).
[8] Impairment of long-lived assets:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of ("SFAS 121"), during the fiscal year end June
30, 1997. SFAS 121 established accounting standards for recognizing and
measuring the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
assets and goodwill related to those assets. The Company periodically
reviews all its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable.
[9] Recent pronouncements:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure," No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." The Company believes that the above pronouncements will not
have a significant effect on the information presented in the
consolidated financial statements.

[10] Reclassifications:
Certain items have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.
NOTE C - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains all of its cash with highly capitalized financial
institutions. Such balances often exceed the FDIC limit and are not insured.
NOTE D - PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
[1] Property, equipment and leasehold improvements is summarized as follows:
Equipment and fixtures $ 1,588,000
Simulation equipment 1,065,000
Simulation film 2,312,000
Leasehold improvements 5,654,000
--------------
10,619,000
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 3,332,000
--------------
$ 7,287,000
==============
[2] In accordance with SFAS 121, the Company recorded impairment losses in
connection with certain of its operations and prospective ventures. The
circumstances relating to these matters indicated that the undiscounted
future cash flows from these matters would be less than the carrying
value of certain long-lived assets. Such calculation reflects the
possible cancellation of the lease at one of the Company's locations.
Accordingly, in June 1998, the Company recognized an asset impairment
loss of $3,854,000. The loss is the difference between the carrying value
of the long-lived assets and the fair value of these assets based on
discounted estimated future cash flows.
NOTE E - CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
[1] During November 1996 the Company entered into a loan agreement with an
institutional lender to finance the acquisition of certain equipment for
its XS New York site. The Company received approximately $1,024,000 with
$495,000 held by the lender as security. Such security is to be released
after 24 months subject to a satisfactory payment record by the Company.
The amount financed bears interest at 11 1/2% per annum compounded
monthly and was initially to be repaid in 48 monthly installments but
during November 1997, the term was modified to provide for an accelerated
payback over 36 months from the date of issuance. The institutional
lender obtained a first security interest in the equipment and up to
$750,000 of the loan is personally guaranteed by the Company's former
president. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued five
year warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
an exercise price of $6.00 per share, which the Company valued at
$35,000.

[2] On December 31, 1996, the Company refinanced its existing equipment at
its New York Skyride location with aggregate proceeds of $1,500,000. The
new note bears interest at 11 1/2% per annum compounded monthly and is to
be repaid in 48 monthly installments secured by a first security interest
in all of the equipment at the New York Skyride location. Additionally,
up to $250,000 of the loan is personally guaranteed by the Company's
former president.
[3] During March 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an
institutional lender to finance the acquisition of additional equipment
for XS New York. Pursuant to this transaction, in April 1997 the Company
received $559,000 with an additional $51,000 held by the lender as
security. Such security is to be released after 24 months subject to a
satisfactory payment record by the Company. The amounts financed bear
interest at 11 1/2% per annum compounded monthly and was initially to be
repaid in 48 monthly installments but during November 1997, the term was
modified to provide for an accelerated payback over 36 months from the
date of issuance. The institutional lender obtained a first security
interest in the equipment and up to $125,000 of the loan is personally
guaranteed by the Company's former president.

[1] The Company borrowed in the aggregate $4,450,000 from an institutional
investor which accrues interest at an annual rate of 14% and requires the
payment of both principal and interest five years from the date of
issuance. In connection with the subordinated debt, the lender received
warrants to purchase up to 434,146 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $4.25 per share which the Company valued at approximately
$278,000 using the Black Scholes pricing model.

===========
[2] On June 30, 1997, the Company borrowed $500,000 from the institutional
investor referred to above due on demand at an interest rate of 14% per
annum.
[3] In December 1997, the Company borrowed $500,000 from a financial
institution. The loan is due on demand and bears interest at an annual
rate of 7%. The loan is collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the
amount of $500,000 pledged by one of its institutional investors.
[4] In May 1998, the Company borrowed $1,350,000 from an institutional
investor which accrues interest at an annual rate of 14% and requires the
payment of both principal and interest on July 15, 1998.
[5] In May 1998, the Company entered into an equity financing agreement (the
"credit agreement") with the institutional investors referred to in [1]
and [4] above to borrow an aggregate of $935,000 in exchange for receipt
by the Institutional Investors of senior secured promissory notes and the
issuance of warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company.
The Notes mature on July 15, 1998 and accrue interest at a per annum rate
equal to 14% and are secured by all the assets of the Company. The notes
and the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Warrants are also
collateralized by a pledge of the stock of the Company. In connection
with the Credit Agreement, one of the institutional investors received
the right to appoint two members of the Company's Board of Directors. The
Warrants are exercisable for approximately 94% of the fully diluted
common stock of the Company (after issuance) at an exercise price of
$.375 per share. Accordingly, the exercise of such Warrants by the
institutional investors will result in a significant change in the
ownership of the Company. The Warrants are exercisable for approximately
173 million shares of common stock for an exercise price of approximately
$64.9 million, or, at the option of the holder, pursuant to a cashless
exercise feature, the difference in shares between 173 million shares and
that number of shares having a market value equal to $64.9 million (i.e.
at a market price per share of $.40, an aggregate of 10.8 million shares
of common stock will be issued) resulting in significant dilution to
existing stockholders. The value of these Warrants have been valued at
the full value of the financing or $935,000. The conversion rate of the
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") held by one of the
institutional investors will be adjusted from a conversion rate of one
share of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock to a conversion
rate of 6.91 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock in
the event the Warrants are exercised for 94% of the fully diluted common
stock of the Company.

NOTE F - SUBORDINATED NOTE PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
[6] Subsequent to June 30, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement with
certain of debtholders of the Company to convert all the amounts owed to
them into shares of convertible 10% cumulative preferred stock of the
Company at a rate of $1,000 per preferred share of stock. The agreement
is contingent upon stockholder approval and the Company maintaining its
listing with the NASDAQ Small Cap Market (see Note O[1]).
The preferred stock will be senior to all other classes of preferred
stock and other equity and will be convertible into common stock at the
rate of one share of common stock for each $1.30 of debt converted in the
initial conversion to preferred stock plus any accumulated dividends at
the option of the holders over a ten-year period. The preferred stock is
redeemable at the option of the Company upon payment of liquidation
preference and accrued but unpaid dividends. The liquidation preference
is equal to the debt amount converted plus cumulative dividends. The
preferred stock will have identical voting rights as the Company's common
stock. The preferred stockholders would also be granted certain demand
and piggyback registration rights.
NOTE G - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. They are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such
differences are expected to reverse. The likelihood of realization of the net
deferred tax asset cannot be established.

NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
[1] The Company leases office premises and space for its entertainment
attractions from the Empire State Building Company pursuant to operating
leases expiring at various dates through 2016. Certain of the leases
contain renewal options. The leases provide for free rent or rent credits
for various periods; rental expense is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the leases.
During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company entered into a ten-year
renewable lease for space to house its interactive virtual reality
entertainment center. The lease terms also provide for two five-year
renewal options. In addition, the lease contains a cancellation clause in
the event that the landlord commences construction of office buildings on
the site during the lease term. Should the landlord exercise the
cancellation clause, the Company would be required to vacate the space
within six months after written notice, but would be entitled to
reimbursement during years 1 - 5 of a portion of its out-of-pocket
construction costs, not to exceed $125 per square foot. Rental expense
will be recognized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the
initial ten-year term of the lease.
During September 1996, the Company entered into a 15 year lease
commencing September 1, 1997 for space to house its second interactive
virtual reality entertainment center. In connection with the execution of
the lease, the Company was required to provide a standby letter of credit
in the amount of $200,000 in favor of the landlord under terms of the
lease. As a result of construction delays due to the lack of sufficient
funding, the Company did not commence operations on the date required in
the lease. The Company received notice in December 1997 that the landlord
had re-entered the premises occupied by the Company as a result of
certain defaults and has declared such lease terminated. In June 1998,
the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the landlord for
$50,000 payable before September 1, 1998 in consideration of such lease
termination. The landlord, in return, has released the Company from any
obligations in connection with the lease; such amount is included in
liabilities as of June 30, 1998.
The Company has expensed the unamortized portion of the cost incurred in
connection with obtaining the lease.

NOTE I - EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
[1] During April 1998, the Company and its President entered into a
separation agreement. Pursuant to its terms, the President agreed to
relinquish all positions in the Company held by him and deliver to the
Company for cancellation all of his options and warrants in the Company
in exchange for the forgiveness of amounts previously advanced. The
Company agreed to make payments of approximately $206,000 and forgave
approximately $318,000 in loan receivables. The Company, in turn,
received 670,000 shares of Class A common stock then held in escrow, as
well as the return and cancellation of Class B warrants for 280,000
shares and options to purchase 1,400,000 shares of common stock. The
Company exchanged general releases and the former President has granted

NOTE J - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
[1] In connection with the Company's public offering of securities in 1994,
the underwriter required that an aggregate of 670,000 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock be placed into escrow. Some or all of such
escrow shares were eligible to be released up to the year ended June 30,
1998 if the Company had met certain minimum earnings thresholds, as
defined, or if certain minimum per share market prices of its common
stock were attained.
Since neither the earnings requirement nor the minimum per share market
price requirement were met, the escrow shares reverted to the Company on
June 30, 1998.
[2] On July 7, 1995, the Company consummated a stock purchase agreement with
the Prospect Street NYC Discovery Fund, L.P. (the "Fund"), pursuant to
which the Company sold 1,090,909 shares of Series A convertible
participating preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, for $3,000,000.

[9] The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB") 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee
stock options. Under APB 25, where the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on
the date of grant, no compensation is recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as
required by SFAS No. 123 has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of
that statement. The effect of applying SFAS No. 123 on 1998 and 1997 pro
forma net loss is not necessarily representative of the effects on
reported net loss for future years due to, among other things: (1) the
vesting period of the stock options and the (2) fair value of additional
stock options in future years. Had compensation cost for the Company's
stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant
date for awards under the plans consistent with the methodology prescribed
under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss in 1998 and 1997 would have
been approximately $(8,332,000) and $(3,413,000) or $(4.97) per share and
$(1.97) per share, respectively. The weighted average fair value of the
option and warrants granted during fiscal 1998 and 1997 are estimated as
$.16 and $.67, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend
yield of 0% in both of the years, expected volatility of 40% in both of
the years, risk-free interest rate between 5.53% and 6.00% for 1998 and
between 5.94% and 6.95% for 1997 and estimated life of 1 to 10 years in
1998 and 1997.
The exercise price for warrants and options issued in connection with
services rendered by nonemployees or financing arrangements is determined
by negotiations between the Company and the third party. Generally,
warrants and options are issued to employees with an exercise price of not
less than the quoted market price of the stock.
NOTE K - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
[1] During fiscal years 1998 and 1997, the Company employed an individual
related to the president of the Company to manage the souvenir/concession
area of the attraction. The agreement provided for annual compensation of
$80,000. During June 1998, the Company and this individual terminated the
employment contract. The termination agreement provided for a severance
payment of $18,000.

NOTE K - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
[2] The Company has an agreement with a marketing consulting firm, whose
principal was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, to
act as the Company's sales agent in soliciting and negotiating
sponsorships and commercial endorsements. Sponsorship commissions and
consulting fees earned by said firm for the years ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 aggregated $48,000 and $40,000, respectively.
[3] The Company incurred legal fees to a law firm, one of whose employees was
a director of the Company. Such fees related primarily to general
corporate services. Legal fees for the year ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
aggregated $283,000 and $85,000, respectively.
NOTE L - REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS
The Company has been provided with certain equipment for use in its XS facility
in exchange for a percentage of the revenues generated therefrom. During
November 1997, the Company and its major equipment supplier renegotiated their
revenue sharing agreement. (See Note N.)
Pursuant to such agreements approximately $630,000 and $594,000 was earned by
the vendors for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which
amounts are included in revenues and selling, general and administrative
expenses.
NOTE M - CONTINGENCIES
[1] Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company entered into a settlement
agreement with the general contractor of its interactive virtual reality
entertainment center ("XS"), whereby the Company settled certain of its
obligations for less than the carrying amount. The general contractor has
reserved its right for reimbursement for costs incurred by them in
relation to work performed by three trade subcontractors. The Company is
disputing the subcontractors' claim regarding the amounts billed for
their work. The Company believes that it has recorded an adequate
liability in connection therewith, and does not believe that the
resolution of this matter will have a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
[2] The Company is subject to three lawsuits and claims totaling
approximately $100,000, with respect to matters arising out of the
ordinary conduct of its business. Management believes that it has
meritorious defenses to the above claims and is vigorously contesting
them. Litigation counsel for the Company has advised that at this time
they cannot offer an opinion as to the ultimate probable outcome of these
matters. The lawsuits are in the early stages. In addition, in the
ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various other
matters and negotiations. In the opinion of management, the resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

NOTE M - CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
[3] In October 1997, the Empire State Building Company (the "ESBCo") sent
notices of default to the Company with respect to the Company's various
leases at the Empire State Building (the "ESB") for failure to pay rent.
The Company believed it had valid claims and offsets against a portion of
the rents claimed by ESBCo.
In December 1997, the Company commenced an action against the ESBCo
seeking injunctive relief to prohibit the ESBCo from terminating the
Company's leases and the license agreement relating to the New York
Skyride location and also seeking damages from the ESBCo. The Company
asserts that the ESBCo violated the terms of the leases and the license
agreement. The Company has received an injunction, prohibiting the ESBCo
from terminating or canceling the leases and the license agreement and
restraining the ESBCo from interfering with the Company's business or
commencing any proceedings with respect to the leases and the license
agreement. The court ordered the Company to pay $838,000 in undisputed
rent. The Company intends to defend its position vigorously with respect
to its other claims for damages against the ESBCo.
NOTE N - EXTRAORDINARY GAIN FROM RESTRUCTURING OF LIABILITIES
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company settled $439,000 of
liabilities to vendors for $165,000. $274,000 was recognized as a gain from such
settlements. In November 1997, the Company agreed to sell its XS trademarks and
related property rights to its major equipment supplier at its XS site. The
Company, pursuant to a three-year renewable license agreement, can continue to
use the "XS" trademarks and related concepts at its Times Square location. In
connection therewith the supplier agreed to reduce its revenue sharing
percentage from and forgave approximately $427,000 owed by the Company. The
Company recognized a gain of $385,000 from the settlement of the liability net
of the assets sold. Total gain from restructuring of these liabilities amounted
to $659,000.
NOTE O - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
[1] The Company's securities may be delisted from the Nasdaq Small Cap Market
as a result of failure to comply with the Nasdaq maintenance criteria of
a minimum bid price of $1.00 for the Company's common stock, and
maintaining a market value of its public float in excess of $1,000,000.
In September 1998 the Company was advised by Nasdaq that a decision about
its listing status is expected to be made in October 1998.
[2] Subsequent to the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company settled $65,000
of liabilities to vendors for $14,000. A gain of $51,000 will be recorded
by the Company in its first quarter.
