                    International Sports Wagering Inc.
                       Notes To Financial Statements

Note 1 -  Basis of Presentation:

          The balance sheet at the end of the preceding fiscal year
          has been derived from the audited balance sheet contained in
          the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities
          and Exchange Commission and is presented for comparative
          purposes.  All other financial statements presented are
          unaudited.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments
          which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to
          present fairly the financial position for all periods
          presented have been made.  The results of operations for the
          quarter ended December 31,1997 are not necessarily
          indicative of the results expected for the entire year.

          Footnote disclosures normally included in financial
          statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with
          the published rules and regulations of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission.  These financial statements should be
          read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
          thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
          KSB.

Note 2 -  Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock:      

          During March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
          ("FASB") released Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
          128 establishes standards for computing and presenting
          earnings per share and is effective for financial statements
          for both interim and annual periods ending after December
          15, 1997.  Accordingly, effective December 31, 1997, the
          accompanying net loss per share information has been
          calculated and presented in accordance with the provisions
          of SFAS 128 and as further prescribed by the relevant Staff
          Accounting Bulletins of the Securities and Exchange
          Commission.

          Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by
          the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
          during the applicable reporting periods.  The computation of
          diluted net loss per share is similar to the computation of
          basic net loss per share except that the denominator is
          increased to include the number of additional common shares
          that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential
          common shares had been issued.  However, the Company's
          computations of dilutive net loss per share does not assume
          any conversion or exercise of securities as their effect is
          antidilutive for all periods presented.


                                     6

                    International Sports Wagering Inc.
                       Notes To Financial Statements

          The weighted average shares used in the net loss per share

   Note 3 -  Subsequent Events:

          In June 1997, the Company retained Yarlow, Inc. d/b/a Tom's
          Sunset Casino ("Yarlow") to operate the Company's
          SportXctionTM sports wagering system ("the System") until
          the later of June 1998 or such time as the Company received
          a Nevada gaming license as an operator of an inter-casino
          linked system ("OILS license"), permitting it to operate the
          System.  On January 13, 1998, the Company announced that
          Yarlow had suspended operation of Tom's Sunset Casino,
          including operation of the SportXctionTM System, as a result
          of financial difficulties unrelated to the System.  The
          System has not been in use since then.

                    International Sports Wagering Inc.
                       Notes To Financial Statements

          The Company applied for an OILS license in July 1997 and the
          investigation by the Nevada gaming authorities has been
          proceeding since early fall of 1997.  The process of
          obtaining an OILS license by the Company is expected to be
          completed during the third quarter of the fiscal year ended
          September 30, 1998.  There can be no assurance that the
          Company will receive such a license or that it will be
          issued in the time frame anticipated.  Should licensing be
          delayed or denied, this could have a material adverse affect
          on the Company and its prospects.  Until such time as the
          Company obtains the OILS license, it is not expected that
          the System will be operated.

          Revenues of $24,695 were reported for the three months ended
          December 31, 1997.  These revenues represented the Company's
          fees for use of the System during the quarter, in accordance
          with agreements between the Company, Yarlow, as hub
          operator, and the sports wagering establishments at which
          the System was in operation.  The Company is restricted to
          charging fixed fees for the use of the System until it
          obtains an OILS license which, among other things, will
          permit the Company to provide the System to sports wagering
          establishments in consideration for either a portion of the  
          revenue received by the establishment or on a transaction
          fee basis.  $20,459 of the revenues for the three months
          ended December 31, 1997, as well as $2,930 of the $3,580 in
          revenues reported for the year ended September 30,1997,
          reflecting operation of the System from September 21 through
          September 30, represented accounts receivable from Yarlow. 
          In view of Yarlow's financial difficulties and the
          suspension of operation of Tom's Sunset Casino, the Company
          has established a reserve to cover the full amount of these
          accounts receivable at December 31,1997.

          As of December 31, 1997, the Company has also reserved an
          additional $25,000, representing one half of the principal
          amount of a $50,000 loan made on October 20, 1997 to T & D,
          a Nevada general partnership that is an affiliate of Yarlow. 
          This loan is guaranteed by Yarlow, and by two principals of
          T & D.

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

     Live operation of the Company's SportXctionTM sports wagering system
(the "System") commenced on September 21, 1997. As of December 31, 1997,
the System was in operation at eight inter-linked casinos and gaming
establishments in Nevada, with simultaneous wagering conducted through
approximately 220 player betting stations installed at those eight
establishments. During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the System was
used for wagering on approximately ten sporting events each week, including
baseball, football, and basketball games.  For the period from September 21
through December 31, 1997, the total amount wagered through the System was
approximately $1,274,000.

     In June 1997, the Company retained Yarlow, Inc. d/b/a Tom's Sunset
Casino ("Yarlow") to operate the System until the later of June 1998 or
such time as the Company received a Nevada gaming license as an operator of
an inter-casino linked system ("OILS license"), permitting it to operate
the System.  On January 13, 1998, the Company announced that Yarlow had
suspended operation of Tom's Sunset Casino, including operation of the
SportXctionTM System, as a result of financial difficulties unrelated to
the System.  The System has not been in use since then.  

     The Company applied for an OILS license in July 1997 and the
investigation by the Nevada gaming authorities has been proceeding since
early fall of 1997.  The process of obtaining an OILS license by the
Company is expected to be completed during the third quarter of the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will receive such a license or that it will be issued in the time frame
anticipated.  Should licensing be delayed or denied, this could have a
material adverse affect on the Company and its prospects.  Until such time
as the Company obtains the OILS license, it is not expected that the System
will be operated.

      For the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Company had a net
loss of $976,239, or $0.13 loss per share on 7,749,762 weighted average
common shares outstanding, compared with a net loss of $641,082, or $0.10
loss per share on 6,366,660 weighted average common shares outstanding for
the three months ended December 31, 1996.  The loss during the three months
ended December 31, 1996 included $299,098 representing interest expense and
debt discount ascribed to warrants issued as part of a bridge financing
prior to the Company's initial public offering.  Revenues of $24,695 were
reported for the three months ended December 31, 1997, compared with no
revenues reported in the comparable prior year period.  These revenues
represented the Company's fees for use of the System during the quarter, in
accordance with agreements between the Company, Yarlow, as hub operator,
and the sports wagering establishments at which the System was in
operation.  The Company is restricted to charging fixed fees for the use of
the System until it obtains an OILS license which, among other things, will
permit the Company to provide the System to sports wagering establishments
in consideration for either a portion of the revenue received by the
establishment or on a transaction fee basis.  $20,459 of the revenues for
the three months ended December 31, 1997, as well as $2,930 of the $3,580  
                                       9


in revenues reported for the year ended September 30,1997, reflecting
operation of the System from September 21 through September 30, represented
accounts receivable from Yarlow.  In view of Yarlow's financial
difficulties and the suspension of operation of Tom's Sunset Casino, the
Company has established a reserve to cover the full amount of these
accounts receivable.

     The Company has also reserved an additional $25,000, representing one
half of the principal amount of a $50,000 loan made on October 20, 1997 to
T & D, a Nevada general partnership that is an affiliate of Yarlow.  This
loan is guaranteed by Yarlow, and by two principals of T & D.

     In addition to the bad debt expense which totaled $48,389, the
increased loss for the three months ended December 31, 1997 when compared
with the loss for the three months ended December 31, 1996 resulted
primarily from:  marketing expenses, which increased by $223,361 from the
comparable prior year period to $276,534, primarily reflecting advertising
to promote awareness of the SportXctionTM game; expenses of $140,631,
associated with the Company's application for an OILS license; salary
expense, which increased by $90,772 to $260,863, attributable to increased
administrative, marketing, and technical support activities; depreciation
expense, which increased by $70,639 to $101,739, reflecting the purchase of
additional computer equipment used in the operation of the System;
professional fees, which increased by $55,943 to $91,414; insurance
expense, which increased by $33,898 to $42,690; consulting fees of $18,915,
associated with product development; and rent expense, which increased by
$10,023 to $13,206, reflecting the new sales, support, and operations
office in Las Vegas, Nevada, which was opened in June 1997.

     The Company incurred approximately $263,963 in research and
development costs for the three months ended December 31, 1997, compared
with approximately $179,273 for the comparable prior year period.  This
increase is largely attributable to increased salary expenses, consulting
expenses, and patent application and maintenance costs.

     The Company continues to be in the development stage, with limited
revenues generated from the System.  As of December 31, 1997, the Company
had cumulative net losses since inception of $4,144,759.  It expects to
continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow at least
through calendar 1998.  Contributing to this are the fact that no revenues
are currently being generated, pending the resumption of the operation of
the System, and the Company's expectation that it will continue to incur
substantial research and development expenses for further product
enhancement and development activities.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Company had liquid resources totaling
$4,709,867.  These included cash and cash equivalents in the amount of
$371,415 and short-term investments in the amount of $4,338,452. 
Investments are limited to investment grade marketable securities with
maturities of 18 months or less.  Based upon its current proposed plans and
assumptions relating to its operations, the Company anticipates that
existing resources will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash
requirements for approximately 18 months.  Capital expenditures are
expected to be limited to purchases of additional computer equipment as
needed.  These will be funded by existing resources.

                                       10

     The Company believes that the response from players of the
SportXctionTM game while it was in operation was generally favorable,
although the number of players participating in wagering on each sporting
event did not meet the Company's expectations.  The Company believes that
this resulted from the fact that the game was entirely new, since wagering
during the course of a sporting event had not been tried previously, either
in Las Vegas or elsewhere, and because more promotion of the System is
required in order to have the wagering public become familiar with the
game.

     In order to encourage more potential players to wager through the
System, the Company adapted the System to permit limited time periods of
free play and practice betting during the course of a sporting event.  It
also introduced other new features and enhancements to the System to
attract additional players and increase wagering.  These features included
a form of parlay wager resulting in a larger potential payoff, smaller
minimum wagers, and new betting proposition features.  In January 1998, the
Company hired a Director of Marketing to develop and implement a new
marketing plan in order to attempt to increase public awareness and
participation in the SportXctionTM game.

     The Company is in the process of adapting the System for use in legal
wagering and non-wagering applications, including games and contests, over
the Internet.  The Company also intends to explore alternative applications
of its proprietary technology, including adaptation of the System for
activities conducted over cable television and other communications media.

     The Company's plan of operation during the next 12 months focuses
primarily on (i) obtaining an OILS license in Nevada which will enable the
Company to operate the System through the Hub and provide the System to
sports wagering establishments in exchange for a portion of the revenue
received by the establishment or on the basis of a transaction fee, (ii)
attracting additional players of the game, and increasing wagering through
the System, (iii) continued sales and marketing to casinos and other
sportsbook operators in Nevada, (iv) hiring  additional personnel in the
areas of sales and marketing, product development, equipment installation,
maintenance and training, (v) continued research and further product
enhancement and development, including adapting the System for new betting
propositions, (vi) securing further intellectual property protection,
including additional patent, trademark and copyright protections, and (vii)
exploring opportunities in foreign markets and  alternative applications of
the Company's proprietary technology, including adaption of the System for
use in non-wagering activities.
