              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)      The  unaudited  financial  statements  and the related  notes have been
         prepared  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the Securities and
         Exchange  Commission.  Accordingly,  certain  information  and footnote
         disclosures  normally  included  in  financial  statements  prepared in
         accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have been
         omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations..

         The  consolidated   financial   statements   include  the  accounts  of
         LottoWorld,  Inc.  and its wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Lottery  Players
         Publishing  Company,  Inc. (The "Company").  These unaudited  financial
         statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the audited  financial
         statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 1995.

         The information furnished reflects,  in the opinion of management,  all
         adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring accruals,  necessary for a
         fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.  All
         intercompany   transactions   and  balances  have  been  eliminated  in
         consolidation.

(2)      The net (loss) per common share amounts are computed using the weighted
         average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.

Item 2.           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                  Condition and Results of Operations


         The losses for the nine months and three  months  ended  September  30,
1996 are 33.7% and 42.7% less than the  comparable  periods  last year;  namely,
$(2,825,325) and $(4,258,228); $(1,177,653) and $(2,055,779) respectively before
dividends paid to preferred shareholders.

         The  Company  declared a  dividend  in the amount of $.15 per share for
record  holders of its Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock as of the close of
business on September 30, 1996 payable on October 31, 1996.

         The  reduction  of the  loss is  attributable  to the  cut-back  of its
LottoWorld  magazine  from every two weeks to a monthly  frequency  as well as a
more than 50% reduction in  circulation  and  marketing  and promotion  expenses
attributable  to the national  newsstand  launch of its  LottoWorld  magazine in
1995.  There were seven issues of  LottoWorld  magazine in the third  quarter of
1995 as compared to three issues in the comparable quarter of 1996.

         Expenses  were  reduced more than 25% for the nine months and more than
41% for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 when  compared to the same
periods in 1995.  The Company  anticipates  further  significant  reductions  in
expenses applicable to its LottoWorld magazine as the circulation growth rate of
this magazine from  subscription  sales outpaces the rate of growth of newsstand
circulation.

         The Company, through its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  launched its second
magazine,  the New York Lottery Players Monthly.  This new magazine is published
under a  three-year  exclusive  agreement  with the New York State  Division  of
Lottery. With a circulation of 1,100,000 copies per month, the October issue was
the largest  magazine  launch in the United  States  since 1990 and  immediately
ranks as the third largest magazine in New York, ranked by circulation. As it is
the policy of the Company to recognize an issue as published  when it is shipped
from the  printer,  the Company  has  included  this issue in the quarter  ended
September 30, 1996. As a controlled  circulation  magazine (free to the reader),
the Company  will  depend on the sale of  advertising  to make this  publication
profitable.  As with most new publications,  the sale of advertising lags behind
the  introduction  of a magazine . The  Company  recognized  a loss in excess of
$200,000 attributable to this first issue.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Although the Company sold 371,496  shares of its $.001 common stock and
derived $543,300 in additional capital,  the Company feels it will need to raise
$2,000,000  of  additional  capital  in the  next  six  months  to  fulfill  its
objectives in regard to the State Lottery Digest Program,  of which the New York
Lottery Players Monthly, is the first edition.
