NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and disclosures required for annual financial statements.  These 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended June 30, 1996 
included in the Form 10-KSB for the year then ended.

In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of 
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial 
position as of March 31, 1997, and the results of operations and cash flows 
for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997, and 1996 have been 
included.

The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 
1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
full fiscal year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated 
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's  Form 10-
KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended 
June 30, 1996.

Earnings per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding.  Stock options have been excluded as common 
stock equivalents because they are either antidilutive, or their effect is not 
material.

DUE FROM OFFICER/RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY

On  November 20, 1995, the Company's Chief Executive Officer entered into a 
promissory note with the Company in the amount of $194,876, bearing interest 
at 7.25% per annum. The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued 
interest is due on May 20, 1997.

MERGER AGREEMENT WITH VIDESSENCE, INC.

On January 10, 1997, the Company completed its previously announced 
acquisition of Videssence, Incorporated ("Videssence") through the merger of 
Videssence into NDEI.  This transaction was completed pursuant to an Agreement 
and Plan of Merger (the "Plan") dated April 26, 1996 between Videssence and 
NDEI which was approved by NDEI's shareholders at a Special Meeting held on 
August 5, 1996.  This merger was accounted for as a purchase.  Under the Plan, 
NDEI acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Videssence in exchange 
for 522,221 shares of NDEI's Common Stock, valued at $9.00 per share. The 
Videssence shareholders can earn up to an additional maximum of 788,000 shares 
of the Company's Common Stock upon Videssence achieving certain performance 
based criteria over the next five years.  Acquisition costs amounted to 
$479,910.  As a result of the merger, Videssence shareholders have become 
shareholders of NDEI and Videssence is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NDEI.  For 
the purpose of these statements, the effective date of the merger is January 
1, 1997.

General
- -------

Historically, the Company has operated primarily as a provider of production 
services to distributors such as Warner Bros. and The Walt Disney Company and 
to networks such as ABC and NBC.  Through its wholly owned subsidiary, 
Videssence, the Company now also designs, manufactures and distributes 
lighting products in the television, video, motion picture, theater and theme 
park industries.

In its production related activities, it has been the Company's practice to 
arrange for the distributor or network to provide production funding, while 
retaining a back-end producer's profit participation.  Employing this 
strategy, the Company reduces the risk of production by generating production 
fees to cover all production expenses.  This approach has limited the 
Company's ongoing revenue participation, however, as the distributor or 


                                 Page 7 of 13

<PAGE>
network retains a significant portion of the rights to the main and ancillary 
markets in return for assuming the risk of production.  Revenues are 
recognized when earned, which is typically upon receipt.  Costs associated 
with these revenues are recognized on the same basis.  These revenues are 
primarily dependent on the number of projects being produced by the Company 
and the agreements relating to such projects.  Accordingly, year to year 
comparisons of production revenues from these sources are not necessarily 
indicative of future revenues.

To increase production margins, the Company has invested in additional in-
house post production and computer graphics/animation facilities that were 
implemented in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996 and the first 
quarter of fiscal 1997.  These leading-edge production technologies are used 
intensively to create the visual effects for "Babylon 5" and the Company's 
other production activities enabling it to generate more special effects per 
season than previously possible.  By investing in cost-effective technologies, 
the Company has been able to significantly reduce the need for contracting out 
to third party vendors, thus allowing it to realize higher margins on its 
services.  With these expanded facilities now in place, the Company is 
positioned to offer its technology services to outside companies, thus 
creating a potential new revenue stream.  Of course, there can be no assurance 
that such new revenues will be achieved by the Company.

The Company retained the merchandising rights for the Hypernauts Production of 
13 episodes, which were sold to the ABC Network and aired in Spring, 1996.  
Pursuant to the Hypernauts agreement with the ABC Network, the Company 
established a merchandising licensing division which included a master toy 
license with a major toy manufacturer.  The merchandising of "Hypernauts" was 
suspended when the production was not renewed for the 1996 Fall television 
season.  The merchandising division overhead was eliminated in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1997.  The production and merchandising of "Hypernauts" will 
only be reinstated if and when the Company is successful in finding an 
alternative distributor to finance the production.  The Company is not 
currently engaged in any discussions with any alternative distributor.

Videssence designs, manufactures and distributes lighting products, which 
incorporate Videssence patented SRGBtm light technology, for the illumination 
of studios, stages and production environments in the television, video, 
motion picture, theater and theme park industries.  Videssence's high-speed 
fluorescent lighting products emit energy-efficient, low-heat light that is up 
to 90% more efficient than traditional incandescent lighting.  Videssence 
currently utilizes a combination of direct marketing with trade promotions and 
advertising to reach its customer base.  Videssence employs newsletters, 
direct mail, trade show appearances, a website domain on the Internet, and 
traditional display advertising to promote its products.  Videssence believes 
that by combining these means with its own full time dedicated regional sales 
managers, and a network of established third party dealers it can adequately 
service its markets.  To date, Videssence sales have been primarily to 
television studio and video production operations.  The Company is currently 
in the process of developing products for entry into the film production 
markets.  Of course, there can be no assurance that the Company will 
successfully enter these markets.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Net Revenues.  Net Revenues decreased 22% to $17.1 million for the nine months 
ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $22.0 million in net revenues for the 
nine months ended March 31, 1996.  Although the acquisition of Videssence 
contributed a new source of revenues in the third quarter, specifically $1.2 
million for the quarter, net revenues were down for the nine month period 
primarily due to two factors.  First, the production of the fourth season of 
"Babylon 5" started on  August 26, 1996 compared to July 31, 1995 for the 
third season, causing revenues to decrease approximately $2 million for the 
nine months ended March 31, 1997.  Second, additional revenue was generated in 
the previous fiscal year with the production of the children's series, 
"Hypernauts", which was not renewed for the Fall 1996-97 season.  For the 
three month period ended March 31, 1997, net revenues were down 8% to $7.65 
million, as compared to net revenues of $8.28 million for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1996, primarily due to the "Hypernauts" nonrenewal.  
The difference in the "Babylon 5" start date primarily affected the first 
quarter, as revenues for this production remained consistent in the third 
quarters of both periods.  The decrease in revenue from "Babylon 5" will be 
recouped in the fourth quarter as the total number of episodes to be produced 
is the same in both years.

Gross Margin.  The Company's gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 
1997 was $2,307,744, or 13.5% of net revenues, compared with $908,731, or 4.1% 
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  For the three month period ended 
March 31, 1997, the company's gross profit was $1,375,483, or 18.0% of net 
revenues, compared with $463,719, or 5.6% of net revenues, for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1996.  Although revenues declined compared to last 
year, the Company has been able to attain not only higher margins but higher 
gross profits in terms of absolute dollars.  This has occurred for two 
reasons.  First, the aforementioned expansion of the post production and 
graphics/animation facilities has allowed the company to significantly reduce 
the need for outside production services. Thus, through the integration of 
technology at its facilities, the Company is able to achieve top quality 
productions while realizing higher gross margins.  Second, gross margins have 
been boosted through the merger of Videssence, Inc. which is involved in a 
higher gross margin business.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses 
increased 146% to $2,275,051, or 13.3% of net revenues, for the nine months 
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $923,271, or 4.2% of net revenues, for the 
nine months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was caused by the creation of 
the project development group, the expansion of the Company's technology 
operations, and the staffing, legal, regulatory, accounting and other expenses 
that resulted from being a publicly traded company as of November 1995.  In 
addition, the inclusion of Videssence's operations for the first time 
accounted for a significant portion of these expenses, specifically $762,601.  
The Company  also incurred operating expenses during the first quarter in 
connection with the curtailment of the merchandising activities for the  
"Hypernauts" project totaling approximately $70,000.

Other Income and Expenses.  Interest income increased to $71,271 for the nine 
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $46,131 for the nine months ended 
March 31, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to interest earned on proceeds 
from the Company's initial public offering which was completed in November 
1995 and from interest earned on advances made to Videssence prior to the 
closing of the acquisition.
                                 Page 9 of 13

<PAGE>
Provision for Income Taxes.  The Company is reporting $52,373 of net income 
for the nine month period ending March 31, 1997.  At normal statutory tax 
rates, this would require a tax provision of approximately $21,000.  As the 
company currently possesses net operating loss carryforwards in excess of this 
amount, and as the Company has chosen in the past not to capitalize these tax 
benefits, no provision is currently necessary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

In addition to distributor and network funding of production activities 
described in "General" above, the Company has funded its operations to date 
primarily through cash flows from operations, through the initial public 
offering of Common Stock and Warrants completed in November 1995 which 
generated net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million, and from the proceeds 
received from exercises of stock warrants, which have generated approximately 
$300,000.

In October 1996, the Company commenced a "limited public offering" of Class 
A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock marketed over the Internet and 
IPONet.  This offering, managed by an investment banking firm acting as 
placement agent, was intended to raise a minimum of $2 million and a maximum 
of $5 million to be used for expansion and for working capital for 
Videssence's operations.  The offering was later amended to eliminate the $2 
million minimum.  On February 28, 1997, the Company closed the offering with 
gross proceeds of $424,300.

Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $118,349 for the nine 
months ended March 31, 1997.  The primary source of operational cash was net 
income, as adjusted for depreciation and amortization.

Investments in capital equipment totaled approximately $626,286 for the nine 
months ended March 31, 1997,  primarily for additions of computer graphics and 
post production equipment for the expansion of the technology group, primarily 
for post production and 3D animation activities.

Management believes that its present cash position and overall liquidity will 
enable the Company to meet its operating commitments for the next twelve 
months.  As of March 31, 1997, the Company's sources of liquidity included 
cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $1.3 million.  The Company 
has $349,483 of outstanding debt as of March 31, 1997, all of which was 
assumed as part of the closing of the merger with Videssence.

The Company's sources of working capital for its current production activities
are principally derived from contract production receipts from a major studio
for the production of "Babylon 5."  These monies are received by the Company in 
installments spread over the year for the production of "Babylon 5."  The
Company currently has funding commitments for "Babylon 5" through the 
end of season four which ends in July 1997.  Discussions are currently
underway for a possible fifth season of "Babylon 5" and/or a spin-off series.
However, there can be no assurance that "Babylon 5" or a spin-off will be
renewed for additional seasons which could adversely affect the Company's
working capital.  The Company, however, does have funding commitments for two
"Babylon 5" made for television movies scheduled for delivery in October 1997.




                                Page 10 of 13

<PAGE>
The Company also has several other projects in development.  In the past, the
Company has been able to secure production financing from a major studio or
distributor for all of its projects that go into production.  While the Company
believes that similar financing arrangements can be made for future productions,
there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in obtaining such
production financing.  In that event, its working capital will be reduced
accordingly. Moreover, as the Company continues to develop new forms of high
technology production activities and projects for new entertainment and
multimedia ancillary markets, it may elect to make additional commitments for
these new projects and to cover the resulting increased overhead for these
endeavors.  These financial commitments may create additional risk for the
Company as to whether it will recover the costs of investment and generate a
profit.

Videssence has traditionally relied on cash flow from operations and the 
financing of accounts receivable for its working capital needs.  The Company 
is seeking a source of additional working capital for the contemplated growth 
of the Videssence operations.  Although the Company is currently in 
discussions with various financial institutions for this purpose, there can be 
no assurance that the Company will obtain such additional working capital; in 
this case, the Company's expansion plans and growth could be adversely 
affected.
