AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)\ March 31, 2000 and 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 GENERAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2000 (unaudited) and the unaudited results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-QSB and consequently do not include all the disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First National Entertainment Corp. (a Colorado corporation) and its subsidiaries, Equator Entertainment, First National Finance Corp., and First National Video Corp. (collectively referred to as the "Company"). Effective January 1, 1999, First National Finance Corp. has a wholly owned subsidiary, Prairie Business Credit, Inc., which is also included within the consolidated financial statements. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. On December 17, 1999 management decided to sell or otherwise dispose of this segment of the business. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Loans Receivable: Loans are stated net of the allowance for loan losses and unearned discount. Interest on loans is included in operating revenues over the term of the loan based upon the principal balance outstanding. Where serious doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan, the accrual of interest in discontinued. Loan fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the loan as a yield adjustment. The Company has a reserve for unfunded restoration costs which it holds in escrow. Payments are made from time to time as work is completed and documentation is presented to a title company for approval. Funds are disbursed upon a directive from the title company. 7 8 Allowance for Loan Losses: An allowance for loan losses has been established to provide for those loans which may not be repaid in their entirety. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Although a loan is charged off by management when deemed uncollectible, collection efforts may continue and future recoveries may occur. The allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations (including their financial position and collateral values) and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are not anticipated. Each impaired loan is carried at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to an impaired loan if the present value of cash flows or collateral value indicate the need for an allowance. For impaired loans and other loans, accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Cash collections on impaired loans are credited to the loan receivable balance, and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. Other Real Estate Owned: Real estate acquired in settlement of a loan is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the property or its fair value. Prior to foreclosure, the value of the underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan losses, if necessary. At the time of foreclosure, an allowance is established for estimated selling costs. Any subsequent write-downs required by changes in estimated fair value or disposal expenses are provided through this allowance and the provision is charged to operating expense. Carrying costs of such properties, net of related income, and gains and losses on their disposition are charged or credited to operating expense as incurred. Property, Plant, and Equipment: Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 3 to 7 years. Financial Instruments: The Company's financial instruments consist principally of loans receivable and notes payable and are carried at amounts which approximate fair value. Stock-Based Compensation: On October 23, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, the recognition of compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments to employees based on a fair value method of accounting. Companies are permitted to continue to apply the existing accounting rules contained in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APBO No. 25"); however, companies that choose to retain this method of accounting are required to provide expanded disclosures of pro forma net income and earnings per share in the notes to financial statements as if the new fair value method of accounting had been adopted. The Company has elected to continue to apply the accounting principles contained in APBO No. 25. Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the deferred asset and liability method as required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes are provided as temporary differences arise between the basis of asset and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax reporting. Loss Per Share: Earnings per common share (EPS) is computed under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss 8 9 available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net loss available to common shareholders is calculated by deducting dividends on preferred stock of subsidiary from net loss. Since the Company has experienced net operating losses, the outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock have an anti-dilutive effect. Therefore, options and warrants were not included in computing dilutive loss per share. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3 NOTES RECEIVABLE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 31, --------- 2000 ---- 10% note due August 15, 2000.

At June 30, 1996, the Company intended to amortize the remaining unamortized film costs for its Happily Ever After property over the next five years, subject to future market conditions altering this accounting estimate. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5 LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leasehold improvements and equipment consisted of the following at March 31, 2000 2000 ---- Office equipment 17,395 Furniture and fixtures 11,070 -------- 28,465 Less accumulated depreciation (17,852) --------- Net property and equipment $ 10,613 ========= 9 10 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 6 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock. At March 31, 2000, the Company had not issued any preferred shares. Common Stock: During the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, the Company issued 500,000 and 600,000 shares for employee compensation and professional fees valued at $4,000 and $6,000. In the second quarter of 1996, the Company initiated an equity restructuring program in which the Company issued 1,260,000 shares of its common stock (par value $.005) along with warrants to purchase an additional 1,260,000 shares of its common stock (par value $.005) at $1 share. Total proceeds from the offering amounted to $830,000. On October 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved and issued an Extension and Optional New Pricing Offer to the holders of these warrants. These 1,260,000 warrants originally entitled the holders to purchase an additional share each of the Company's common stock at a price of $1 through an expiration date of December 15, 1997. The Extension and Optional New Pricing Offer allows an extension until December 31, 1999, at a share price of $.15 for additional consideration of $.05 per warrant or an extension until December 31, 2000, at a share price of $.05 for additional consideration of $.10 per warrant. During the year ended June 30, 1997, warrants for 800,000 shares were extended to December 31, 1999 and warrants for 200,000 shares were extended to December 31, 2000. Additional paid-in capital of $60,000 was received from these transactions for the period ended June 30, 1997. During 1998, certain warrants previously issued in the six-month period ended December 31, 1998 were canceled and cash of $20,000 was returned. During the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 no warrants were issued as part of an executive compensation agreement The warrants are convertible to common stock at twenty-five cents a share. There were 29,325,000 warrants outstanding at March 31, 2000. Stock Options: On May 21, 1993, shareholders approved an incentive stock plan which reserved 3,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance under the 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISO") and the 1993 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan ("NQSO") (collectively referred to as the "1993 Plan"). The 1993 Plan provides incentives to officers, directors, employees, consultants, and advisors in the form of stock options, subject to certain restrictions. The Company's Board of Directors determines the granting of options under the 1993 Plan, including the exercise period, contingencies, vesting periods, and employee qualifications. Options to be issued under the ISO are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the 1986 Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), as amended. Options granted under the NQSO are subject to fewer restrictions than the ISO and are considered "Non-Statutory Stock Options" as defined in the Code. As of December 31, 1997, 25,000 options had been issued under the 1993 Plan. These options were issued in August 1993 at the exercise price of $1.53 per share. All of the outstanding options were exercisable at March 31, 2000. No options were exercised during the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Company implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan in 1994 which permits substantially all employees to acquire Company common stock. Participating employees may acquire stock at the end of each six-month period (June 30 and December 31 of each year) at a purchase price of 85% of the lower of fair market value at the beginning or end of the period. Employees may designate up to 10% of their base compensation for the purchase of stock under this plan. There are no charges to income in connection with this plan. 10 11 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 7 LEASES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company occupies certain office facilities and video stores under operating lease arrangements. Under terms of the leases, the Company is responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs on the facilities. Total rent expense under such arrangements was approximately $42,460, and $89,866 for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The leases expire from 2000 through 2003. Future minimum payments under noncancelable leases as of March 31, 2000 are as follows: Continuing Discontinued Operations Operations ---------- ---------- 2000 $ -- $185,091 2001 -- 212,742 2002 -- 214,440 2003 -- 180,870 ------------ -------- $ -- $793,143 ============ ======== ITEM 2. FIRST NATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW The Corporation continues to maintain three major wholly owned subsidiaries from which it derives current and anticipated revenues. FIRST NATIONAL FINANCE CORP. ("FNFC") which maintains a portfolio of short term loans for purchase and rehab of real estate, primarily in the Chicagoland area. During the quarter, FNFC has sold a number of seized non performing property loans from the prior year. The Company in almost all cases completed the rehab work. The cash from these sales have been used to maintain operations and invested in new performing loans, including a major condominium project. FNFC has a remaining inventory of approximately $1,000,000 of seized properties (See Current Assets: Real Estate Owned for Sale) at March 31, 2000. The Company anticipates selling these properties, without additional substantial loss of principal carrying value, within the following two quarters. The Company has initiated major policy and procedure changes to insure the core value of the portfolio has a value capable of sustaining operation costs. Interest revenues are recognized as properties are sold according to generally accepted accounting principles. Also, during the quarter, the Company did divest itself of Prairie Business Credit, Inc., a factoring company, which experienced a significant loss in 1999. 11 12 EQUATOR ENTERTAINMENT, INC. ("EEI") continues to develop significant project possibilities with North American Broadcasters, publishers and Internet providers in a variety of projects. Through EEI's alliance with Egmont Imagination - a leading European entertainment conglomerate. Mr. Peter Keefe, President, remains confident certain projects will reach fruition within the next six to twelve months. These projects along with EEI's own opportunities is situating the Company in a favorable position for future revenues. EEI did not generate any revenue during the quarter. FIRST NATIONAL VIDEO CORP. ("FNVC") d/b/a Windy City Video. On October 18, 1999, the Company entered into a plan to dispose of all the video stores. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first quarter the Corporation reduced loans to shareholders by $1,013,468 with cash and transfer of certain receivables. The reduction should save approximately $180,000 in interest annually. No additional outside financing was obtained during the quarter. FINANCING ACTIVITIES The Corporation is in the process of negotiating an extension of the $1,100,000 term loan. In addition, the Corporation has discussed expanding the loan amount with its current lender while exploring the option of working with additional lending institutions. (See Note 2 - Management's Future Plans of the 12/31/99 10K). OTHER IMPORTANT FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Corporation has completed its move to new headquarters at a substantial monthly rental savings in its continuing effort to reduce costs. The Chairman & President, Mr. Charles E. Nootens has initiated a substantial reduction in his annual salary in a further effort to make the Corporation profitable. The Business Plan established when current management assumed leadership of the company called for acquisitions which had synergy and profits. Management continues to pursue such acquisitions and has in its opinion a legal, and IRS plan to use as a platform. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Three months Ended March 31, 2000 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999. Consolidated Balance Sheet The significant decrease in Loans Receivable is attributable to an erosion of the portfolio due to performance, additional reserves and a reclassification of a portion of the portfolio to Real Estate Owned for Sale. Also, no factored receivables are outstanding as Prairie Business Credit, Inc. was sold in January, 2000. This amount is offset by a equal reduction in liabilities. Consolidated Statement of Operations Revenues fell to $50,269 from $208,609 due to closing or sale of Video store, sale of PBCI and reduction in interest income on short term loans. 12 13 Total operating costs were reduced by $44,168 from the same period last year. Net loss of ($281,605) compared to $(102,830) is due to reduced revenue in FNFC, certain video store shut down costs and continued support of the Equator Entertainment start-up. TAXES ON INCOME Taxes on income are zero due to the cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $30.6 million at March 31, 2000, for federal tax purposes. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in 2000. "Forward looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 may be included in this report. A variety of factors could cause the Corporation's actual results to differ from the reported results expressed in such forward looking statements. Investors are referred to the Corporations' most recent 10K. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Currently, in the normal course of business the company is involved in legal action taken against it by former employee Chinna Boddipalli regarding severance pay.
