ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-----------------------
Cinema Ride, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in April
1993. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" in
this report refer to Cinema Ride, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The
Company is in the business of developing and operating rides consisting of
motion simulator attractions which combine projected three-dimensional action
films of approximately four minutes duration with computer-controlled,
hydraulically-mobilized seating platforms that are programmed to move in concert
with the on-screen action. Each attraction is designed to provide the viewer
with a realistic feeling of being a participant in the action on the screen. To
date, the Company has completed construction and installation of three
facilities. The first facility (the "Las Vegas Facility") commenced operations
in October 1994 and is located in the Forum Shops at Caesars (the "Forum
Shops"), a high traffic tourist mall which is located between Caesars Palace
Hotel & Casino and the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The second facility
(the " West Edmonton Mall Facility") commenced operations in August 1995 and is
located in the West Edmonton Mall, Alberta, Canada. The third facility (the "
Times Square Facility") commenced operation in September 1996 and was located in
Times Square in New York City, New York. The Times Square Facility was closed
during January 1998 (See "Description of Property - The Times Square Facility").
The Company's executive offices are located in Studio City, California.
The current hours of operation for the Facilities are typically 11:00 a.m.
to 11:30 p.m. The average ticket prices have typically been less than four
dollars due to the Company's pricing of its multiple features, and due to the
use of coupons and other discounts.
EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY
Each of the Company's rides is comprised of two basic elements: (i) a motion
simulator which consists of an enclosed capsule and related equipment and
computer programming (the "simulator"), and (ii) the 3-D films viewed by
audiences in the simulator.
Simulators
The Company utilizes a simulator which it believes to be both space and cost
effective. Each simulator includes an enclosed 15-seat capsule in which
audiences are seated during a given ride. Inside the capsule, each seat faces a
screen at the front of the capsule, onto which the ride film is projected.
Company attractions consists of one or more capsules, the number of which will
vary depending on the size and desired seating capacity of a particular
location. The Las Vegas Facility consists of four capsules of 15 seats each and
the West Edmonton Facility consists of one capsule.
-2-
<PAGE>
Capsules are mounted on top of a motion base consisting of six independent
hydraulic cylinders which control the movement of the attached capsule. The
motion bases allow an audience to experience a full six degrees of motion
(pitch, roll, heave, yaw, surge and sway). Through the use of the motion base,
capsules have a maximum range of motion of approximately six feet and can be
programmed to move in a wider and, as a result, more realistic range of motions
than is possible with the three degrees of motion (pitch, roll and heave)
utilized in many existing motion simulator rides. The motion bases used by the
Company are constructed by a manufacturer of military and commercial flight
simulators as well as motion simulators, such as the ones utilized by the
Company.
Each simulator combines the motion base and capsule with two projectors and
audio systems which provides a visual and audio presentation without the
degeneration of picture and sound that is common to film formats under heavy
usage. In addition, the use of laser disk players enables the Company to avoid
delays associated with rewinding traditional film and enables the Company to
change ride films with the push of just one bottom. The projection equipment
used by the Company is capable of projecting both 3-D and standard ride films.
All of the mechanical equipment comprising the simulator is coordinated by a
computer system. A time code is added to each laser disk in order to enable the
film data to correspond with the movement of the motion bases. As the
projectors receive the film and sound data from the laser disks, the simulator's
computer receives the time code which enables the computer to synchronize the
filmed action with the movement of the motion bases and the operation of the
wind machine.
The equipment utilized by the Company contains relatively standard hydraulic
components which are readily available through the vendors that currently
service the simulators. The Company believes that, should the need arise, other
vendors are available that could manufacture and maintain its equipment.
Moreover, because each simulator is completely independent of the other
simulators in a given location, the Company is able to perform routine
maintenance and make any necessary repairs to simulator equipment without
hindering the operation of the entire attraction at facilities with more than
one capsule.
3-D Films
Each of the Company's attractions utilizes 3-D technology in the exhibition
of ride films. 3-D technology creates the illusion of three-dimensional images.
The technology involves the filming and simultaneous projection of images that
are slightly offset from each other which, when viewed with special polarized
glasses, create an illusion of depth and off-screen effects which are not
possible with traditional 2-D filmed entertainment.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had completed production of six ride
films for exhibition in its attractions. The Company produces the ride films by
contracting with independent film production companies. During March 1998, the
Company released a new ski and snowboard film which was produced by Warren
Miller Entertainment, and a roller coaster film which was produced by the
Company.
The typical ride film lasts approximately four minutes. Each capsule is
able to feature approximately nine to twelve attractions per hour. The Company
does not anticipate that any of its attractions will operate at or near maximum
capacity.
SALES OF RIDE TICKETS
The Company currently generates virtually all of its income from the sale of
ride tickets. Customers purchase the ride tickets at the ticket booth. Prior
to the showing, ticket-holders are led through an entry where their tickets are
taken and they are handed 3-D glasses and led into a Pre-Show area. While the
previous audience is inside the capsule viewing the ride film, ticket-holders in
the Pre-Show area watch a short film on a video monitor outlining safety
instructions and other information regarding the ride.
Once the previous showing has been completed, ticket-holders are led into
the capsule. Each seat in the capsule has a safety belt that audience members
are required to wear for the duration of the ride film. The
-3-
<PAGE>
audience and the area surrounding the capsule are monitored via video cameras by
the ride operator during each showing for the safety of audience members. Upon
completion of the ride film, audiences exit back into the lobby area where the
3-D glasses are deposited into a return basket for cleaning.
SALE OF SYSTEMS TO THIRD PARTY OPERATORS AND JOINT VENTURE
The Company plans to pursue customers for the sale or joint venture of its
simulator systems. The Company also intends to lease its film library to buyers
of its simulator systems for an annual fee based on a percentage of gross
revenues generated by the sold capsules with a minimum rental fee due annually.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to
sell its capsules to third party operators, or to joint venture its simulator
systems.
COMPETITION
The Company faces intense competition in the development and marketing of
attractions. Such competition extends to gaining access to desirable locations
for attractions as well as to selling or leasing simulators and ride films.
Each of IMAX Corporation, Iwerks Entertainment, Inc., Showscan Corporation and
other companies develop and market simulators which compete with the simulators
and related filmed entertainment being developed and marketed by the Company.
Many of these corporations have greater financial and marketing resources than
the Company and have established reputations for success in the development and
marketing of products that are competitive with those of the Company. In
addition, there are no significant barriers to entry which would prevent
additional competitors from competing with the Company in the development and
operation of attractions on a site-by-site basis. During 1997, Iwerks
Entertainment and Showscan Corporation entered into a merger agreement which if
approved by the shareholders of both companies could be finalized in 1998 and
will produce what the Company believes will be the largest motion simulator ride
company.
The Company also competes with existing motion simulators on a site-by-site
basis. The Company is aware of several competing motion simulator attractions
either currently existing or planned to be opened in the vicinity of its
Facilities, including a motion simulator attraction developed by Caesars Palace
Hotel & Casino with IMAX Corporation which was opened during December 1997 in
the new expansion of the Forum Shops. In addition, the Excalibur Hotel in Las
Vegas has a simulator ride facility which has been operational for many years.
The MGM Grand Hotel and Casino Theme Park , the Hilton Hotel Casino, and the
Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas offer motion simulator attractions. Other
hotels or theme parks in Las Vegas may also acquire motion simulator
attractions. The Company also competes for customers to some extent with theme
parks, traditional motion pictures and other forms of filmed or computer
entertainment. Similarly the West Edmonton Facility competes with existing
motion simulators within the immediate geographical area. The Company's
attractions compete with other attractions and entertainment alternatives in a
given region on the basis of location, price and content of its ride films.
The Company believes that the real estate experience of its management will
assist it in effectively competing in locating and acquiring favorable locations
for its attractions. In addition, the Company believes that the compact size
and realistic motion capabilities of its simulators as well as the unique and
entertaining thematic elements and effects of its ride films will enable it to
effectively compete for customers for the sale and leasing of its simulators and
ride films.
TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS AND PATENTS
The Company does not currently hold any patents or similar intellectual
property protection for the technology or equipment used in its attractions.
Although the Company has a patent application pending under appeal with the
United States Patent Office for the combined use of 3-D ride films in motion
simulators, there can be no assurance that a patent will be granted or, if
granted, that it will be effective in preventing competitors from developing
similar simulator systems.
During 1996, the Company obtained a trademark for "Cinema Ride" and a
trademark for "Ride Guy". In addition, the Company holds copyright protection
for each of the ride films owned by the Company. While
-4-
<PAGE>
the Company believes that patent, copyright and other protection are desirable,
the Company believes that they are less significant to the Company's success
than factors such as the location and marketing of attractions and the
production or acquisition of entertaining ride films.
INSURANCE
The Company maintains comprehensive general liability and excess liability
coverage of $16,000,000, business personal property coverage including leasehold
improvements of $6,550,000, business income loss coverage of $5,700,000, and
comprehensive automobile insurance of $1,000,000. The Company believes such
insurance will adequately insure all of its current operations. Additional
insurance may be required in connection with the opening of additional
attractions by the Company.
The Company also maintains $1,000,000 "key-man" life insurance on the life
of Mitch Francis, its President and Chief Executive Officer, as to which the
Company is the sole beneficiary. The Company also maintains director's and
officers' liability insurance insuring the directors and officers of the Company
for up to $2,000,000.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
The Company is subject to certain governmental regulations which has
established standards for the design, construction, installation, alteration,
maintenance, operation and inspection of amusement rides such as the Company's
attractions. The Company successfully obtained all necessary permits and
approvals pursuant to such regulations.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 19, 1998, the Company had four full-time employees at its
corporate offices (including its officers), twenty nine employees at its Las
Vegas Facility and seven employees at its West Edmonton Facility. The addition
of new attractions will necessitate the Company's hiring of additional employees
to manage and operate the new facilities. In addition, the Company anticipates
entering into contracts with independent sales representatives to locate
potential purchasers of simulators and licensees of ride films. As the
Company's operations and sales efforts expand, the Company expects that it will
hire additional management personnel to oversee and coordinate the Company's
development and sales efforts. The Company believes that its relations with its
employees are satisfactory.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
-----------------------
THE LAS VEGAS FACILITY
In October 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a site in
the Forum Shops which houses the Company's Las Vegas Facility. The Las Vegas
Facility lease has a term of 10 years with an option to extend the term of the
lease for an additional five years at then current market rates.
The lease for the Las Vegas Facility granted the Company the exclusive right
to operate a motion simulator attraction within the Forum Shops. However,
pursuant to an amendment between the Company and the lessor of the Forum Shops,
the Company agreed to permit a themed simulator attraction into the mall in
exchange for a number of concessions from the landlord.
Certain disputes have risen with respect to the obligation to the lessor of
the sign at the Las Vagas Facility, and, commencing with the lease payment for
the month of April 1997, the Company has withheld making payments. During March
1998, the Company reached an agreement with the lessor of the sign to amend the
lease agreement to extend the term of the lease by eleven months with the first
payment becoming due on March 1, 1998.
-5-
<PAGE>
THE WEST EDMONTON MALL FACILITY
During July 1995, the Company entered into a five year lease agreement to
install and operate one capsule in the West Edmonton Mall, Alberta, Canada. The
rent is based on the greater of a minimum monthly payment of CA$5,000 (in
Canadian Dollars) or twenty percent of gross sales. The West Edmonton facility
is operated by Cinema Ride Edmonton, Inc., a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of
the Company. This facility commenced full operations on August 1, 1995,
employing approximately seven employees.
The West Edmonton Mall consists of 5,200,000 square feet of rentable space,
combining recreation, entertainment and retail shops. The mall also includes a
360 room hotel, a gambling casino, several restaurants, an ice skating ring, a
dolphin show, a water park, 20 aquariums, a miniature golf course, a roller
coaster, and a motion simulator. The Company's facility is located within the
food court of the mall, thus capitalizing on the traffic that the food court
generates especially in the high tourist season.
THE TIMES SQUARE FACILITY
During August 1995, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Three
Times Square Center Partners, L.P., (the "Landlord") to install three capsules
in Times Square, New York City. The lease term is for approximately ten years
with two five year renewal options. The Times Square Facility commenced
operations in September 1996. The total cost of design, construction and
installation of the Times Square Facility was approximately $3.2 million
excluding signage.
The Company entered into an agreement dated October 28, 1997 with the
Landlord to terminate the lease due to the intended demolition of the existing
building where the Facility was located. The agreement, among other things,
required the Company to vacate the premises by February 28, 1998 and waive the
security deposit previously made to the Landlord. In consideration, the
Landlord 1) paid the Company $500,000 upon the execution of the agreement, 2)
agreed to a rent concession for the period from April 1997 through October 1997
, 3) waived its right for all future rents following execution of the agreement
to include the months of November 1997 through February 1998, and 4) agreed to
pay the Company an additional $500,000 upon the timely delivery of possession of
the premises to the landlord on or before February 28, 1998. The Company
informed the landlord on February 26, 1998 that the Company had vacated the
premises, and the remaining $500,000 payment was received on March 5, 1998. The
Company is currently seeking a new location to replace this Facility. For the
year ended December 31, 1997, the Company recorded $275,548 in impairment losses
due to the write-down of signage, equipment and other costs.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company entered into a lease
agreement for a sign to be installed at the Times Square Facility. The lease
term was for sixty months commencing the first month following installation of
the sign. Certain disputes have risen with respect to the obligation to the
lessor of the sign, and, commencing with the lease payment for the month of
April 1997, the Company has withheld making payments. During March 1998, the
Company reached an agreement with the lessor of the sign whereby both parties
agreed to terminate the lease and for the Company to purchase the sign for
$100,000 in cash. In return, the lessor agreed to return to the Company 93,482
shares of the Company's common stock, which were previously issued to the lessor
during December 1996.
CORPORATE OFFICES
The Company is leasing office space for its corporate headquarters in Studio
City, California. The current lease of office space is for a period of five
years commencing in July 1995 with one option to renew for a three year period
at ninety-five percent of the then fair market rental value. The base rent
requires monthly payments of $5,029 for the first thirty-six months, payment of
$5,334 for the following eighteen months, and payments of $5,639 thereafter.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------
The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that it
believes could have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse
effect on its business or financial condition.

Company's securities will be subject to de-listing. On February 3, 1998, the
Company filed a request for a written hearing with Nasdaq which was scheduled
for March 5, 1998. On March 11, 1998, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq
notifying the Company that Nasdaq determined to delist the Company's securities
effective with the close of business March 11, 1998 due to the Company not being
in compliance with the minimum bid price and market value of the public float
requirements. The Company's securities are eligible to trade on the OTC
Bulletin Board.
In addition, the Company was informed by Nasdaq on October 1, 1997 that the
Company's warrants were de-listed from the exchange due to the Company's no
longer having any active market makers registered to trade the securities.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
------------------------------------------------------------
Although the Company was formed in April 1993, operations of the Company did
not commence until October 1994 when the Las Vegas Facility was opened. The
Company opened its other locations, the West Edmonton Mall Facility and the
Times Square Facility, in August 1995 and September 1996 respectively. The
Company closed and vacated the Times Square Facility on February 26, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 VS. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996:
Revenues increased by 17% or $565,132 from $3,310,163 in 1996 to $3,875,295
in 1997. The increase is due to an increase in revenues at the Times Square
Facility (which opened during September 1996) by 184% or $1,028,211 from
$558,229 in 1996 to $1,586,439 in 1997 due to the facility being open for the
full year in 1997 which was partially offset by 1) a decrease in revenues at the
Las Vegas Facility by 17% or $432,289 from $2,501,512 in 1996 to $2,069,223 in
1997, which management believes was due to lower attendance at the Forum Shops
resulting from the construction of the new wing and the opening of other
casinos, and 2) a decrease in revenues at the West Edmonton Mall Facility by 12%
or approximately $30,900 from approximately $251,300 in 1996 to approximately
$220,400 in 1997. In addition, the Company raised the price of a single ticket
at the Las Vegas and Times Square Facilities to eight dollars from seven
dollars, which partially offset the decrease in revenues due to the lower
attendance. The average ticket price remained under four dollars due to
discounts offered through multiple purchases of tickets. Management believes
that the trend in decreased revenues at the Las Vegas and West Edmonton
Facilities is not expected to continue in 1998. The closure of the Times Square
Facility in 1998 is expected to reduce the Company's revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 14% or $441,891
from $3,107,375 in 1996 to $3,549,266 in 1997. This increase is mainly due to
an increase in overall expenses of approximately $637,000 relating to the new
Times Square Facility, which was opened in September 1996 and was fully
operational in 1997, which was offset by 1) a decrease in corporate expenses by
approximately $74,000 due to decreases in compensation of approximately $148,700
and decreases in other administrative expenses of $55,000 which was offset by an
increase of approximately $112,000 in fees and costs in part relating to costs
incurred in connection with the Company's registration of newly issued shares of
common stock in 1997, 2) a decrease in expenses at the Las Vegas Facility of
approximately $71,000 relating to decreases in advertising expense of
approximately $126,000 which was offset by increases in labor costs incurred in
staffing the newly installed remote ticket booth and due to increases in repairs
and maintenance, and 3) a decrease in expenses at the West Edmonton Mall
Facility of approximately $65,000 mainly due to decreases in wages, advertising,
and other administrative expenses. The closure of the Times Square Facility in
1998 is expected to reduce the Company's expenses.
Impairment loss of $275,548 relates to the closure of the Times Square York
Facility in 1998 as more fully described in Note 6 to the financial statements.
The amount of loss recognized in 1997 represents an impairment loss due to the
write-down of signage, equipment and moving expenses.
-8-
<PAGE>
Depreciation and amortization increased by 26% or $220,007 from $831,927 in
1996 to $1,051,934 in 1997 due to the new Times Square Facility which
contributed to an increase of $381,291 in 1997, which was partially offset by a
decrease of approximately $125,000 relating to the write off of certain assets
in 1996.
Interest expense increased by $218,557 from $246,800 in 1996 to $465,357 in
1997 mostly due to the Company incurring $215,863 in interest on the loan from
lender in 1997.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 VS. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995:
Revenues increased by 48% or $1,079,908 from $2,230,255 in 1995 to
$3,310,163 in 1996. The increase is due to 1) the opening of the Times Square
Facility in September 1996 which contributed $558,229 in revenues for the
partial year it was open, and 2) an increase in revenues at the Las Vegas
Facility by 22% or $448,324 from $2,053,188 in 1995 to $2,501,512 in 1996.
Revenues from the West Edmonton Mall Facility which opened in August 1995
increased by 41% or $73,355 from $177,655 in 1995 to $251,010 in 1996. In
addition, the Company raised the price of a single ticket to seven dollars from
five dollars. The average ticket price remained under four dollars due to
discounts offered through multiple purchases of tickets. The Company has been
successful in marketing the sale of multiple features tickets which had a
positive contribution to revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 6% or
approximately $199,500, from $3,306,863 in 1995 to $3,107,375 in 1996. This
decrease is due to 1) a decrease in expenses at the Las Vegas Facility of 28% or
approximately $490,000 (from approximately $1,743,715 in 1995 to approximately
$1,254,257 in 1996) relating primarily to decreases in wages, advertising, and
administrative expenses, 2) a decrease in corporate expenses of 15% or
approximately $191,500 (from $1,328,278 in 1995 to $1,136,550 in 1996) relating
primarily to decreases in professional fees, insurance reimbursements,
advertising and other administrative expenses, 3) a decrease in expenses at the
West Edmonton Mall Facility of approximately $26,000 (from $232,200 in 1995 to
$206,195 in 1996) relating primarily to decreases in advertising, and
administrative expenses and 4) an increase in overall expenses of approximately
$508,000 relating to the opening of the Times Square Facility in September 1996.
Depreciation and amortization increased by 124% or approximately $461,000,
from $371,007 in 1995 to $831,927 in 1996 due to 1) the opening of the West
Edmonton Mall Facility in August 1995 which contributed to an increase of
approximately $78,000 in depreciation in 1996, 2) the opening of the Times
Square Facility in September 1996 which contributed to an increase of
approximately $205,000, 3) an increase of approximately $131,000 relating to
write off of certain assets at the Las Vegas Facility, and 4) and an overall
increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $40,000 primarily
relating to amortization of film library and pre opening costs relating to the
Las Vegas and West Edmonton Mall facilities.
Interest expense increased by $244,195 from $2,605 in 1995 to $246,800 in
1996 mostly due to the Company's incurring of interest on loans in 1996 and the
amortization of $20,825 in financing costs relating to the Company's issuance of
stock and warrants to lenders in connection of obtaining some of these loans as
discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, in
connection with the issuance of the warrants relating to the Company's financing
during December 1996, the Company incurred, based on a valuation of these
warrants which were issued to the Lender and the brokers who arranged the
financing, $47,498 as deferred financing costs which will be amortized over the
life of the loan.
Interest income decreased by 80% or $61,000, from $76,150 in 1995 to $15,150
in 1996 mainly due to utilization of cash previously available to the Company
from the proceeds of the Company's public offering.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $1,327,437 from
$1,275,224 in 1996 to $52,213 in 1997. The decrease of $1,327,437 was primarily
due to 1) a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,415,995, 2)
an increase in losses of $593,756, 3) a decrease in accrued interest on notes
payable of $101,094 and 4) a decrease in deferred rent of $170,905 which was
partially offset by 1) receipt of $500,000 relating to the lease termination for
the Times Square Facility, 2) an increase in depreciation and amortization of
$220,007, and 3) an increase of losses due write-off of certain assets related
to the lease termination of $275,548.

<PAGE>
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1,775,153 from
$1,874,503 in 1996 to $99,350 in 1997. The decrease is primarily due to
payments made by the Company to complete the construction of its capsules during
the prior year, and to costs associated with the lease and build out of the
Times Square Facility in 1996.
Net cash used in financing activities was $643,211 during the year ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to the cash provided by financing activities of
$1,850,718 for the same period during the prior year. The decrease of $2,493,929
was primarily due to 1) the Company successful funding of the loan from lender
during December 1996 amounting to approximately $1,475,000, 2) the Company
obtaining $600,000 in short term borrowing in 1996, and 3) the Company obtaining
$437,500 in short term borrowing from investors in 1996.
The Company has relied on the proceeds of sales of Common Stock, Redeemable
Warrants, loans and equipment leasing to provide it with the cash necessary to
develop its facilities and ride films and to operate its business.
The Company generates the majority of its revenues from the Las Vegas
Facility. In connection with the December 1995 amendment to the Las Vegas
Facility lease, the Company waived its exclusivity right within the Forum Shops
by allowing an IMAX Simulator Theater to be installed within the center.
However, the Company obtained the right to terminate its lease if the Company's
sales for any full lease year after IMAX's opening do not equal or exceed
$2,000,000, and in return the landlord has the right to terminate the lease if
sales for any full lease year do not equal or exceed $1,500,000. The IMAX
Simulator Theater opened during December 1997 and the Company has not
experienced any decreases in its revenues as of March 21, 1998. However, there
can be no assurances that revenues at the Las Vegas Facility will not decrease
in the future below $1,500,000 annually and that the landlord will not terminate
the lease.
On March 6, 1996, Cinema Ride Edmonton, Inc. obtained a $40,328 loan
($55,000 Canadian dollars) from a Canadian bank at prime plus two percent. The
loan has a term of four years requiring monthly payments of approximately $1,027
($1,400 Canadian dollars) and is guaranteed by the Company. The lender has
first security interest in the equipment and improvements located at the West
Edmonton Facility. The loan also restricts transfer of funds to the Company
other than amounts in excess of cash flow. The loan may be prepaid at any time
without any penalties. As of December 31, 1997, $22,144 remains unpaid on this
loan.
As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, during the
quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company obtained loans aggregating
$437,500 bearing interest at 15% per annum paid monthly with the principal
balance due at the earlier of one year or at the time the Company successfully
obtains permanent financing. These loans are secured by certain equipment
owned by the Company and by the net cash flow of the Las Vegas Facility. In
connection with obtaining these loans, the Company issued 437,500 shares of the
Company's common stock to the lenders. In connection with the issuance of the
shares to the lenders, the Company recognized $250,469 in financing costs which
is deferred and is amortized as interest expense over the life of these loans.
During the fourth quarter of 1996, some of lenders elected to convert $100,000
of the above notes to common stock at the then fair market value of $.40 per
share. Accordingly, the Company issued 250,000 additional shares relating to
the conversion of these notes. As of December 31, 1997, all remaining notes and
accrued interest have been paid.
On December 31, 1996, the Company closed a financing agreement with Finova
Technology Finance, Inc. ( the "Lender") structured as a sale leaseback
transaction of certain equipment owed by the Company. Based on the substance of
this transaction, this financing agreement was accounted for as a note payable
for financial reporting purposes. The gross loan amount was for $1,575,027 to
be paid over a four year term at $40,903 per month with a balloon payment of
$157,503. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 15.7%. The financing
agreement requires the Company to repurchase the equipment at the end of the
lease for $1. In connection with obtaining the financing, the Lender required
the Company to raise a minimum of $500,000 through a combination of equity,
subordinated debt, or conversion to equity of existing notes/liabilities. As of
March 21, 1998, the Company has issued 444,285 shares of the Company's common
stock to various vendors and 250,000 shares to existing note holders in lieu of
amounts owed by the Company, enabling the Company to meet the Lender's
requirement. The Company also issued 100,000 warrants to the Lender at an
exercise price of $2.00 per share, and an aggregate of 265,643 warrants to the
brokers who arranged the financing at an exercise price of $.41 per share
representing approximately 110% of the market value at the closing date of the
financing.
-10-
<PAGE>
During April 1997, the Company obtained a $50,000 loan from a related party
bearing interest at 18% per annum with both principal and interest due in six
months. In connection with obtaining this loan, the Company issued 25,000
warrants at an exercise price of $.28 per share. The note, along with any
accrued interest, was fully paid during 1997.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a positive working capital of
$367,196. The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 1997 were
$705,630 as compared to $1,395,978 at December 31, 1996. Accordingly, in order
for the Company to continue its operations as presently constituted and to
fulfill its business plan described below, the Company must obtain additional
working capital either in the form of debt, equity, or a combination thereof.
In this connection, the Company has engaged the investment banking firm of L.H.
Friend, Weinress, Frankson & Presson, Inc., to serve as the Company's exclusive
financial advisor and investment banker. No assurance can be given, however,
that the Company will be successful in raising capital. Additionally, the
Company has and is continuing to take steps to reduce its expenses without
materially impacting its operations.
COMPANY OUTLOOK:
IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP NEW SITES FOR ATTRACTIONS
The Company is currently seeking additional locations for attractions. The
Company's goal is to open approximately three more facilities over the next two
years. In general, the Company will attempt to locate sites for its attractions
(i) which are in large metropolitan areas or which are at tourist destinations
which attract more than three million persons per year, (ii) at which the
Company can lease high-profile, high-traffic space at a reasonable cost, (iii)
which are in areas with a large number of permanent residents and which do not
have extreme seasonal attendance patterns, and (iv) which are at or near other
complementary tourist attractions.
The Company believes that each new attraction will take approximately four
to six months from lease execution to commencement of operations. Total cost of
developing new attractions, including construction, fixtures, equipment and
start-up costs after completion are estimated to be at least $1,250,000 per two-
capsule site. These costs will vary depending on the leased space, the scope of
any tenant improvements required to be performed by the Company in connection
with leasing a given location and the number of capsules installed, as well as
the size and location of the planned attraction. The Company anticipates that
three more locations will be added in the next two years. Accordingly, the
Company expects to spend approximately at least an additional $3,750,000 on the
acquisition and installation of three more locations in the next two years. In
addition to the cost of the equipment necessary to establish a new attraction
location, the Company expects to add approximately twenty employees per each
additional two-capsule location that it owns and operates. However, the Company
currently has five capsules in its inventory which are available for
installation at future sites which should reduce the capital required to open at
least the next two facilities.
In order to reduce the out-of-pocket costs in the development of
attractions, the Company may also explore joint venture arrangements with third
parties. The Company and its co-venturer would then split the profits, if any,
from the attraction based on their respective contributions to the venture.
SIMULATOR SALES, JOINT VENTURES, AND RIDE FILM LEASING
The Company intends to pursue the sale or joint venturing of simulator
equipment to property owners and businesses that wish to operate attractions of
their own. The sale of simulators to third parties would provide the Company
with an additional source of revenues and profits with a lower degree of risk
than is associated with owning and operating systems. Additional revenues would
be generated from the leasing of the Company's library of ride films to
purchasers of the Company's simulators or to operators of already existing
simulators. The Company does not intend to sell simulators or license ride
films into markets in which it expects to operate its own attractions.
It is expected that the Company's management will continue to be responsible
for the marketing of the Company's simulators and ride films for sale and/or
leasing. However, the Company may retain the services of outside or in-house
sales representatives to locate potential purchasers of simulators and licensees
of ride films.
-11-
<PAGE>
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
Because of the seasonal nature of tourist traffic, attendance patterns at
attractions may vary. The degree of this seasonality varies among attractions
depending on the nature of tourist and local traffic patterns at a given
location as well as the nature of entertainment alternatives available to
audiences. The Company expects that attendance at its facilities to be the
highest in June through September (the height of the tourist season) and lowest
during January and February. The West Edmonton Mall Facility is more effected by
seasonality as compared to the Las Vegas Facility due to the extreme weather
conditions during the Winter months in Alberta, Canada. Similarly, the Times
Square Facility was affected by seasonality during the slower Winter months. As
a result, the Company's results of operations at its facilities depends upon
sales generated from the peak tourist periods and any significant decrease in
sales for such periods could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
operations.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARD
As of December 31, 1997, for federal income tax purposes, the Company has
approximately $5,264,000 in net operating loss carry forwards expiring through
2012. The net operating loss carry forwards result in deferred tax assets of
approximately $1,790,000. Due to management not being able to conclude that it
is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized, a 100%
valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount. Under Section 382 of
the Internal Revenue Code, certain significant changes in ownership that the
Company had been undertaking and may currently undertake may restrict the future
utilization of the tax loss carry forwards.
EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 3, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 128. Earnings per share (SFAS 128). This pronouncement provides a different
method of calculating earnings per share than is currently used in accordance
with APB 15, Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 provides for the calculation of Basic
and Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution
and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could
share in the earnings of the entity, similar to fully diluted earnings per
share. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
after December 15, 1997; early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted
this accounting standard and its effects on the financial position, results of
operations and earnings per share were immaterial.
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130) issued by the FASB is effective for
financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Early
application is permitted. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. The Company has not determined the effect on its
financial position or results of operations, if any, from the adoption of this
statements.
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131) issued by the
FASB is effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 1997.
The new standard requires that public business enterprises report certain
information about operating segments in complete sets of financial statements of
the enterprise and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued
to shareholders. It also requires that public business enterprises report
certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas in
which they operate and their major customers. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 131 to have a material effect, if any, on its Results of
Operations.

<S> <C>
BUSINESS ACTIVITY Cinema Ride, Inc. (the "Parent") and Subsidiaries (the "Company")
was incorporated in Delaware in April 1993. The Company is in the
business of developing and operating rides consisting of motion
simulator attractions ("attractions" or "rides") and filmed
entertainment ("ride films") that combines projected
three-dimensional ("3-D") action films of approximately four minutes
duration with computer-controlled, hydraulically-mobilized capsules
that are programmed to move in concert with the on-screen action.
The Company opened its first attraction in Las Vegas in October,
1994. The Company's executive offices are located in Studio City,
California.
During 1995, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary,
Cinema Ride Edmonton, Inc., a Canadian corporation that operates one
motion simulator ride Facility located at the West Edmonton Mall in
Alberta, Canada. During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
revenues, losses and identifiable assets for Cinema Ride Edmonton,
Inc. were less than 5% of the consolidated amounts, therefore
segment information is not disclosed.
During 1995, the Company also established a wholly owned subsidiary,
Cinema Ride Times Square, Inc., that operates one motion simulator
ride Facility consisting of three capsules, located at New York
Times Square which commenced operation in September 1996. On
October 28, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with its
landlord to terminate the lease and discontinue operations at New
York Times Square (Note 6).
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
CONCENTRATION OF The Company maintains cash balances at various financial
CREDIT RISK institutions. Deposits not to exceed $100,000 for each institution
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had uninsured cash and cash
equivalents in the amount of $399,379 and $1,101,770.

PROPERTY AND Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided
EQUIPMENT at the time property and equipment is placed in service using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
which range from five to ten years.
FILM PRODUCTION Film production costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or
COSTS market. Upon completion, film production costs are amortized on an
individual production basis in the proportion that current gross
revenues bear to management's estimate of total gross revenues with
such estimates being reviewed at least quarterly.
DEFERRED LEASE COSTS Deferred lease costs represent amounts paid in connection with the
successful negotiation of the Company's leases. Costs are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
PRE-OPENING COSTS The Company capitalizes pre-opening costs (primarily rent, salaries
and insurance) incurred in connection with potential new locations.
These costs are amortized over the twelve months following
commencement of operations, or charged to expense when the project
is abandoned. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, unamortized
pre-opening costs of $0 and $258,701 are included in other assets.
INCOME TAXES The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards 109 ("SFAS 109"), Accounting for
Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on the difference
in earnings determined for tax and financial reporting purposes and
result primarily from differences in methods used to amortize
production costs.
FAIR VALUE OF The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 107,
FINANCIAL Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Statements, which is
INSTRUMENTS effective December 31, 1995. This statement requires the disclosure
of estimated fair values for all financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate fair value.

FAIR VALUE OF The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and
FINANCIAL cash equivalents, receivable from Times Square landlord, other
INSTRUMENTS receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of
(CONTINUED) their short maturity.
The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value
because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the rate
the Company could borrow at December 31, 1997.
The fair value of receivables from officers cannot be determined due
to their related party nature.
FOREIGN CURRENCY Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities of subsidiaries
TRANSLATION with local functional currencies are translated to United States
dollars at year-end exchange rates. The effects of translation are
recorded in the cumulative translation component of shareholders'
equity. Such translations in 1997 and 1996 were minimal.
STOCK-BASED Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
COMPENSATION for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) establishes a fair
value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and
for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from
nonemployees in exchange for equity instruments. The Company
adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 1996. SFAS 123 also
encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation
cost for stock-based employee compensation. The Company has chosen
to continue to account for stock-based compensation utilizing the
intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the
excess, if any, of the fair market price of the Company's stock at
the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire
the stock.

LOSS PER SHARE On March 3, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 128. Earnings per share (SFAS 128). This
pronouncement provides a different method of calculating earnings
per share than is currently used in accordance with APB 15, Earnings
per Share. SFAS 128 provides for the calculation of Basic and
Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of
the entity, similar to fully diluted earnings per share. This
pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
after December 15, 1997; early adoption is not permitted. The
Company has adopted this pronouncement during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997 and it had no effect on loss per share.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, common equivalents
representing 913,500 outstanding stock options and 3,176,567
outstanding warrants are not included since their effect would be
anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 1996, common stock
equivalents representing 910,000 outstanding stock options and
2,800,000 outstanding warrants are not included since their effect
would be anti-dilutive.
STATEMENT OF CASH For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
FLOWS all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

SEASONALITY OF Because of the seasonal nature of tourist traffic, attendance
BUSINESS patterns at attractions may vary. The nature and degree of this
seasonality varies among attractions depending on the nature of
tourist and local traffic patterns at a given location, as well as,
the nature of entertainment alternatives available to audiences.
The Company expects that attendance at its facilities will be the
highest in June through September (the height of the tourist season)
and lowest during January and February. The West Edmonton Mall
Facility is more affected by seasonality as compared to the Las
Vegas Facility due to the extreme weather conditions during the
winter months in Alberta, Canada. As a result, the Company's
results of operations at its facilities will depend upon sales
generated from the peak tourist periods and any significant decrease
in sales for such periods could have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's operations.
ACCOUNTING 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 amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
IMPAIRMENT OF Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
LONG-LIVED ASSETS the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed of" (SFAS No. 121) establishes new guidelines regarding
when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include plant and
equipment, and certain identifiable intangible assets, should be
recognized and how impairment losses should be measured. The
Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 1996 and its
effects on the financial position and results of operations were
immaterial.

NEW ACCOUNTING Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
PRONOUNCEMENTS Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130) issued by the FASB is effective
for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. Early application is permitted. SFAS No. 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
The Company has not determined the effect on its financial position
or results of operations, if any, from the adoption of this
statement.
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure
about Segments of an enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No.
131) issued by the FASB is effective for financial statements
beginning after December 15, 1997. The new standard requires that
public business enterprises report certain information about
operating segments in complete sets of financial statements of the
enterprise and in condensed financial statements of interim periods
issued to shareholders. It also requires that public business
enterprises report certain information about their products and
services, the geographic areas in which they operate and their major
customers. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 131
to have a material effect, if any, on its Results of Operations.

1. RECEIVABLES FROM During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company made loans
OFFICERS AND to two of its officers in the amount of $50,000. The loans
CONSULTING AGREEMENT beared interest at a rate of 8% per year and were due on the
earlier of June 30, 1998 or six months after the officer ceases
to be an employee of the Company. Principal payments of $5,000
per loan were due on June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997, with the
balance due on June 30, 1998. Each note was secured by the
higher of 40,000 shares or the number of shares equivalent to the
unpaid value of the note.
On February 1, 1997, the Company's Chief Operating Officer
resigned and agreed to be available to the Company on a
consulting basis for the period between February 1, 1996 and
September 30, 1997. Additionally, he agreed to be available to
the Company on a limited consulting basis for the five years
following September 30, 1997 in consideration for the release
from one fifth each year of his balance on his loan to the
Company and the waiver of accrued and future interest on the
unpaid balance.
The Company is amortizing the balance of the consulting agreement
over the period of the consulting contract. As such, $51,021 was
transferred from receivables from officers to other receivables.
The balance of the remaining loan from officer at December 31,
1997 is $47,962, which includes $7,962 of accrued interest
2. MANAGEMENT PLANS During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company
incurred losses of $1,454,595 and $860,789. The Company has and
is continuing to take steps to reduce its expenses without
impacting its operations. Management believes that the existing
funds, combined with the Company's ability to generate cash from
its operations and through lease or debt financing of the
Company's existing equipment, or through equity financing, will
be adequate to finance current levels of activity. Additional
funds will be required to finance the opening of additional
locations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in obtaining the necessary funds to finance the
opening of any additional locations.
