ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware on March 27, 1996, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bexy
Communications, Inc.  On April 16, 1996, the Company, pursuant to
the terms of an Asset Transfer and Assumption Agreement, acquired
the assets of Bexy totaling approximately $110,000, in exchange
for 452,000 shares of its common stock.  The Company, also under
the terms of the agreement, assumed liabilities of approximately
$84,000.

     As part of a Plan of Reorganization adopted by the Bexy
shareholders at a special meeting on July 2, 1996, the 452,000
Mar Venture shares were distributed to the stockholders of record
of Bexy as of July 2, 1996.  Each Bexy stockholder received one
share of Mar Ventures for every four shares of Bexy, held on the
record date.

Results of Operations

     License revenue from the Company's library for the quarter
ended February 28, 1997, was $1,500.  The low revenue was mainly
due to the Company's existing film library having previously been
licensed in most major territories, and that no new programming
was acquired by the Company during this period.  Management does
not anticipate any future significant increase in revenues from
the licensing of the Company's current film library.

     The Company's net loss for the three months ending February
28, 1997, was $67,855.  The majority of the loss was incurred as
a result of the amortization of the existing film library and the
fees paid for legal, accounting, and other professional
consulting services. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At February 28, 1997, the Company's cash and accounts
receivable were insufficient to insure the Company's continued
existence as a going concern.  During the six months ended
February 28, 1997, the Company had a negative cash flow from
operating activities of $45,759. During the period ending
February 28, 1997, the Company borrowed $19,500 from its majority
shareholder to fund current operations.  In addition, during the 


                               8
<PAGE>
period ending February 28, 1997, Mr. Young, the Company's
principal shareholder and Chief Executive Officer, converted
$46,625 of debt owed him by the Company, into equity.  Mr. Young
received 358,654 shares of common stock.  The shares were issued
to Mr. Young at a conversion price 10% above the price quoted on
the NASD Bulletin Board system, on the day of the conversion.  In
addition, the Company issued 221,150 shares for professional
services valued at $26,538.

     Management expects to meet its current cash requirements
through license revenues, borrowings from a related party as
necessary, and the sale of equity.  Management has and will
continue during the next twelve months to meet with investment
bankers and individual investors who may be attracted to the
Company's business plan.

There can be no assurances that the related party will
continue to advance funds in order to meet the Company's
requirements, or that the Company will be successful in
selling equity.
