Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position of NTN Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries
(collectively "the Company") and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the interim periods presented. Management has elected to omit
substantially all notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements as
permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the
year ended December 31,1999.
The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31,
1999 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K,
filed for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Certain items in the prior period consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock representing
approximately 5,374,000, and 15,448,000 potentially dilutive common shares have
been excluded from the computations of net loss per share for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, as their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company anticipates issuing 218,400 additional shares of common stock in the
second quarter of 1999 to certain investors pursuant to certain anti-dilution
provisions of the Company's agreement with the investors.
Reflected in the net loss available to common shareholders for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 is the accretion of the beneficial conversion
feature on the Series B Preferred Stock in the amount of $564,000. The amount of
the beneficial conversion feature is measured at the date of issue of the
convertible security as the difference between the conversion price and the
market value of the common stock into which the security is convertible. This
amount is accounted for as a non-cash dividend on the convertible preferred
stock with the same amount credited to additional paid-in capital, allocated
over the period from issuance to first convertibility. Therefore, there is no
impact to shareholders' equity. The beneficial conversion feature was fully
accreted as of June 30, 1998.
On January 11, 1999, the Company reacquired the Series B Preferred Stock
in exchange for 7% senior convertible notes and warrants. The notes were issued
in aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,913,000 and are due on
February 1, 2001. In consideration of the debt for stock exchange, the Company
issued the Preferred Stock holders warrants expiring February 1, 2001 to
purchase an aggregate of one million shares of common stock. The warrants have
an initial exercise price of $1.25 per common share which will be subject to
reduction in the event that the common stock trades at levels significantly
above the exercise price. An allocation has been made between the 7% senior
convertible notes payable and the warrants based on the relative fair values of
the securities at the time of issuance. A discount of approximately $464,000 has
been recorded against the 7% senior convertible notes payable due to the
allocation. To recognize the discount over the term of the notes, additional
interest expense of approximately $47,000 has been accreted for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. As a result of this exchange, the Company will record
interest expense, at an effective interest rate of 11% per year, throughout the
terms of the notes which began in the first quarter of 1999.

4. Subsequent Events
The following significant events have occurred subsequent to March 31,
1999:
Effective April 23, 1999 the Company acquired the assets and rights to
certain technology, hardware and video games used in the Internet game business
from Sikander, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The technology enables NTN to link
the viewer/participants on its existing network to coin-operated Internet
stations, thus providing out-of-home access to the Web and video games for
patrons in restaurants, hotels and other public venues. In consideration for
these assets, the Company paid Sikander, Inc. $40,000 in cash and executed a 10%
promissory note for $360,000 payable in twelve equal quarterly installments of
$30,000, plus interest, commencing on June 30, 1999. Additionally, the Company
granted Sikander, Inc. options to purchase up to a maximum of 600,000 shares of
common stock at $.625 per share subject to earn-out provisions, under which all
the options will be earned in the event that the Internet game business
generates a minimum of $10 million in revenues by April 30, 2000. The number of
options are reduced ratably if this target is not met and further reduced if
gross margins over a four-year period do not meet or exceed 50%. Once they have
been earned, the options will become exercisable in four installments of 25%
each as of April 30, 2000 through 2003.
As part of the acquisition, NTN has added Sikander, Inc. CEO, Edward
Bevilacqua, to its management team. Bevilacqua together with Siemens, IBM,
Frogdesign and other key firms developed a public access e-commerce platform
utilizing games, a digital jukebox and other features as magnet applications.
His previous management positions have been with PlayNet Technologies and Sport
Active Television, both interactive entertainment delivery platforms designed
specifically for the hospitality industry. In connection with Mr. Bevilacqua's
employment with the Company, he was granted 400,000 options at fair market value
to purchase common stock under the Company's 1995 stock option plan.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward looking statements, including
statements relating to the success of the DITV network, future growth and
successful implementation of Internet station strategy which are subject to
risks and uncertainties including, the impact of the Y2K remediation costs,
product demand, market acceptance, and other risk factors detailed in the
Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Company's
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
General
NTN Communications, Inc. develops, produces and distributes individual
and multi-player interactive programs to a variety of media platforms. The
Company broadcasts to a variety of delivery platforms 24 hours a day, providing
entertainment and informational programming, including multi-player sports and
trivia games. The NTN networks distribute programming to more than 17.7 million
viewer/participants per month in the United States through hospitality
locations, such as hotels, bars and restaurants. Additionally, NTN distributes
programming to approximately 500 sites in Canada through its Canadian licensee.
NTN has launched the Company's new DITV network, which was installed in
the first NTN subscriber location late in March, 1999. The hospitality
industry's initial reaction to DITV has been positive. The launch of the DITV
network, coupled with the purchase of the assets of Internet access station
developer, Sikander, Inc., is NTN's first step in capitalizing on its national
infrastructure of relationships and experienced sales and customer service teams
to expand its hospitality product portfolio.
In addition to the introduction of NTN's DITV network and the purchase of
the assets related to the Internet game business, the Company's Internet
business plan will make it possible for consumers to access NTN's interactive
content from a complete range of delivery systems including NTN's two
hospitality networks, the Internet, America Online, interactive cable services
and other interactive delivery systems.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998
Total revenues decreased 8% to $5,687,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 from $6,172,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
primarily due to declines in Online/Internet revenues.
Revenue from Online/Internet services decreased 51% to $290,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 from $597,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998. The decrease was largely due to revenue recognized for production
services provided in 1998 that did not occur in 1999. Additionally, the Company
entered into a new contract in the second quarter of 1998 with its Internet
partner, America Online. The contract provides for a flat monthly fee rather
than fees based on AOL member usage of the Company's content which resulted in a
reduction of revenue of $55,000 for the first quarter of 1999 compared to the
first quarter of 1998.
Other revenues decreased 9% to $497,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 from $544,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The first
quarter of 1998 included approximately $285,000 in sales generated by LearnStar,
Inc. (LearnStar) As a result of the sale of an 82.5% interest in LearnStar in
June 1998, no such revenue was recorded for the three months ended March 31,
1999. Other revenues for the current period consist primarily of revenue
resulting from the Company's license agreement with its Canadian licensee.
Excluding the revenue generated by LearnStar in 1998, other revenue increased
92% primarily due to an increase in revenue generated from the Canadian
licensee.
Direct operating costs increased 7% to $1,145,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from $1,066,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
This increase related to technical site service fees
9
10
being paid at a higher rate than in the three months ending March 31, 1998 and
freight from existing sites increasing in January 1999 to accommodate the need
for additional Playmakers(R) at the sites for the Company's interactive football
strategy game, QB1. This increase is partially offset by decreases related to a
reduction in site visit fees, installations and other field expenses due to the
Company's decreased reliance on independent representatives in favor of employed
field and marketing personnel.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 21% to $2,858,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $3,619,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The first quarter of 1998 included approximately
$276,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by LearnStar.
As a result of the sale of an 82.5% interest in LearnStar in June 1998, no such
expenses were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Additionally,
effective March 31, 1999 the company significantly curtailed its operations of
its subsidiary, IWN, Inc., thereby reducing selling, general and administrative
expenses by approximately $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. Other decreases included
office lease expenses due to the sublet of office space beginning in September
1998 which was previously occupied by the Company and a decrease in promotional
and marketing material expenses. Bad debt expense also decreased significantly
as the Company has placed a greater emphasis on collecting outstanding amounts
due. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in employee-related
costs associated with the shift from independent representatives to employed
field and marketing staff.
Stock-based compensation expenses decreased 76% to $39,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $165,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The 1999 charges resulted from the issuance of stock, warrants
and options to non-employees and can vary from period-to-period.
Research and development expenses were $135,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, compared to $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The current period expenses result from the Company's research and development
efforts related to the development of the DITV network.
Interest expense increased 169% to $202,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 from $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
increase was primarily due to interest expense recorded in 1999 related to
convertible notes payable and additional capital leases for equipment
acquisitions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,658,000
and working capital (current assets in excess of current liabilities) of
$2,032,000, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $4,560,000 and working
capital of $2,400,000 at December 31, 1998. Net cash used in operations was
$73,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and net cash used in
operations was $446,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The principal
uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were to fund the
Company's net loss and for severance payments made by the Company in compliance
with management resignation agreements with former officers totaling $385,000.
The uses were offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $221,000,
depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges. Net cash used in
investing activities was $856,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
$534,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Included in net cash used in
investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $875,000 in
capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities was $27,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and net cash used in financing activities
was $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 included proceeds
of $150,000 from the exercise of stock options, which was offset by principal
payments under capital leases of $123,000.
The Company has launched a second hospitality network, the DITV network,
which includes improvements to its Playmakers(R) and a Windows-based platform.
The Company believes that its cash on hand and anticipated cash flows from its
operations will be sufficient to meet its operating needs through 1999. It is
likely the Company will require additional financing to completely implement its
plan to convert its entire existing customer base to the new DITV network, to
expand the DITV network, implement the Company's Internet station strategy and
expand the Company's Internet business. Capital financing possibilities may
include borrowing arrangements under fixed and revolving credit agreements or
sale of additional equity securities. The Company began to convert existing
customers to the new DITV network in April 1999, replacing Playmakers(R) and
broadcast equipment with new technology. The Company plans to continue operating
the DITV network and the NTN
10
11
original network concurrently for approximately 15 more months. The Company has
evaluated the estimated useful lives of the equipment and technology relating to
the original Network. Accordingly, beginning in February 1999, the Company began
depreciating these amounts over the estimated remaining life of 18 months.
In October 1998, the holders of the Company's outstanding Series B
Preferred Stock agreed to exchange their remaining $5,600,000 of Preferred Stock
(and accrued dividends) for 7% senior convertible subordinated notes due
February 1, 2001 with a fixed conversion price of $1.275 per common share. On
January 11, 1999, the exchange was completed and notes were issued in aggregate
principal amount of approximately $5,913,000. In consideration of the debt-for-
stock exchange, the Company issued the Preferred Stock holders warrants expiring
February 1, 2001 to purchase an aggregate of one million shares of common stock.
The warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.25 per common share which will
be subject to reduction in the event that the common stock trades at levels
significantly above the exercise price. An allocation has been made between the
7% senior convertible notes payable and the warrants based on the relative fair
values of the securities at the time of issuance. A discount of approximately
$464,000 has been recorded against the convertible notes due to the allocation.
To recognize the discount over the term of the notes, additional interest
expense of approximately $47,000 has been accreted for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. As a result of this exchange, the Company will record interest
expense, at an effective interest rate of 11% per year, throughout the terms of
the notes which began in the first quarter of 1999.
The Company, with the assistance of independent outside consultants, has
been assessing its "Year 2000" computer readiness and exposure to Year 2000
issues, which relates to the inability of computer software programs to
recognize the arrival of the year 2000 because of a common software design
feature that describes the current year by only its last two digits. In
connection with such assessment, the Company initiated a review of the
information technology systems utilized in the Company's business and
operations. Based on this review, the Company has segregated its systems into
two categories: mission critical and support systems. Mission critical systems
are characterized as hardware and applications contributing to the income of the
business. Support systems are characterized as systems that organize and create
efficiencies for the corporation, but are not critical to its operations. The
Company has completed the assessment phase and is starting the renovation phase
which should be completed by the third quarter of 1999.
The Company's mission critical systems are segregated between systems
located in our hospitality sites (Locations) and back-end systems which support
both the DITV network and the NTN original network, for which the Company will
incur expected costs of approximately $1,000,000 to ensure Year 2000 compliance.
The Company intends to fund these costs with cash on hand, leases from vendors
and internally generated funds. The Company has incurred costs specific to
remediation efforts of approximately $50,000 through March 31, 1999. Certain
compliance issues have been eliminated as a result of the DITV network and the
new equipment purchased related to DITV including back-end equipment. The
Company is testing Year 2000 compliance at the system BIOS, operating system and
application levels. The Company has determined that 25% of Location systems may
not be Year 2000 compliant due to the inaccurate roll over of the system BIOS
which could compromise content scheduling. It is estimated that the replacement
of these systems will cost a total of approximately $725,000 for all affected
Locations. All Location systems in the DITV network are Year 2000 compliant. The
Company has identified key back-end systems that will require an upgrade of
commercial hardware and data base software. As can be determined thus far, the
operating systems and Company-developed applications are not affected, but are
being verified for compliance. The Company has also initiated a review of Year
2000 compliance by its principal vendors, and this estimate assumes that the
Company will not incur significant Year 2000 related costs on behalf of its
vendors or other third parties.
Concerning the support systems, all corporate personal computers and
servers have been deemed Year 2000 compliant. The operating systems and
commercial software packages have been upgraded to compliant versions.
The Company's most likely worst-case scenario would be if the Company were
unable to broadcast its program to its network services customers. Network
services revenue represents 85% of total revenues

for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company has not yet established a
contingency plan in the event that this occurs. As a result, a widespread or
extended failure of the Company's internal systems, or systems of third parties,
to be Year 2000 compliant would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or operating results.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
In October 1998, the holders of the Company's outstanding Series B
Preferred Stock agreed to exchange their remaining $5,600,000 of Preferred Stock
(and accrued dividends) for 7% senior convertible subordinated notes due
February 1, 2001 with a fixed conversion price of $1.275 per common share. On
January 11, 1999, the exchange was completed and notes were issued in aggregate
principal amount of approximately $5,913,000. In consideration of the debt for
stock exchange, the Company issued the Preferred Stock holders warrants expiring
February 1, 2001 to purchase an aggregate of one million shares of common stock.
The warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.25 per common share which will
be subject to reduction in the event that the common stock trades at levels
significantly above the exercise price. An allocation has been made between the
7% senior convertible notes payable and the warrants based on the relative fair
values of the securities at the time of issuance. A discount of approximately
$464,000 has been recorded against the convertible notes due to the allocation.
To recognize the discount over the term of the notes, additional interest
expense of approximately $47,000 has been accreted for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. As a result of this exchange, the Company will record interest
expense, at an effective interest rate of 11% per year, throughout the terms of
the notes which began in the first quarter of 1999. The convertible notes and
warrants were issued to the two institutional holders of the outstanding Series
B Preferred Stock in reliance on the exemption form registration under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for transactions not involving a public
offering.
