NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The financial statements are unaudited, but
in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations
and cash flows for the interim three month and six month periods are not
necessarily indicative of what the results of operations and cash flows will be
for an entire fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
KSB for the year ended July 31, 1997.
NOTE 2 - VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, LLC
In August 1997, the Company, certain members of the board of directors
and an officer of one of the Company's subsidiaries organized Video
Communications Network, LLC ("VCN"). The Company acquired 83.3% of the initial
ownership of VCN in exchange for nominal consideration. In January 1998, the
Company sold a portion of its interest in VCN, representing 444 LLC shares, to
certain members of the board of directors for nominal consideration. As a
result, the Company's ownership in VCN was reduced to 77.2%.
VCN was organized for purposes of developing, managing and providing
programming for a network of Large Screen Video Display ("LSVD") operations in
domestic and international locations. VCN plans to develop LSVD operations that
deliver a mixture of programming, advertising and special events similar to the
present LSVD operation conducted by an unaffiliated company at Times Square in
the City of New York.
In January 1998, VCN commenced a private placement offering, under
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, of an aggregate of 1,110 LLC shares
in $100,000 units comprised of 222 LLC shares together with a warrant to
purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock at an exercise
price of $3.00 per share, exercisable through January 2001. As of March 16,
1998, VCN had received $200,000 from the sale of 444 LLC shares together with
100,000 warrants.
VCN has incurred expenses of $320,946 as of January 31, 1998. These
expenses have been funded by advances from the Company and interim proceeds of
VCN's private placement offering.
The Company consolidates the accounts of VCN and reflects a minority
interest in the remaining 22.8% interest in VCN in its consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 3 - DIVERSITY ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION/ATLANTA, LLC
In June 1997, VCN and its financial consultant organized Diversity
Entertainment Television/Atlanta, LLC ("DETV"). DETV was organized for the
purpose of installing and operating a LSVD operation in Atlanta, Georgia.
VCN acquired 6,762 of DETV's LLC shares, representing 98% of the
initial ownership, in exchange for nominal consideration. VCN agreed to
distribute to an officer of VCN, in consideration of his services to VCN, all of
the net cash or other assets received by VCN at any time in respect of 1,690.5
of its DETV LLC shares, representing 24.5% of DETV's outstanding shares. VCN
accounts for these LLC shares as a minority interest in its financial
statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In February 1998, DETV commenced a private placement offering, under
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, of an aggregate of 2,300 Preferred
LLC shares in $100,000 units comprised of 100 Preferred LLC shares. The
Preferred LLC shares are entitled to a preferred cash distribution from the cash
flows of the operation of DETV and a participation in certain cash flows that
may arise from any equity interest that VCN acquires in other LSVD operations
within a specified period in the future. As of March 16, 1998, DETV had not
sold any units being offered in this private placement offering.
VCN consolidates the accounts of DETV and reflects a minority interest
of 26.5% in its financial statements. VCN's minority interest in DETV is
reflected as a component of minority interest in the Company's consolidated
financial statements. DETV had not incurred a significant level of expenses nor
generated any revenues as of January 31, 1998.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In August 1997, the Company sold, to a member of the Company's board
of directors, 36,364 shares of Class A common stock, for $100,000, together with
warrants for the purchase of 37,000 shares of Class A common stock, exercisable
through June 2000 at a price of $2.80 per share.
During the three months ended January 31, 1998, 59,555 shares of the
Company's common stock were converted from shares of Class B common stock to
shares of Class A common stock; the par values of the Company's common stock
were adjusted to reflect this conversion.
NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE
In November 1997, the Company received an extension of the maturity
date for its unsecured installment note payable to bank. This installment
note's maturity date was extended to November 1998 with all other terms
remaining unchanged.
NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company adopted the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," effective January 31, 1998,
and has restated the earnings per share amounts for prior periods. Basic and
diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of net income or loss
divided by the weighted average number of common shares (Class A and Class B)
outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted earnings per share excludes the
effects of stock options and warrants (and is therefore the same as basic
earnings per share) as their effects would be anti-dilutive due to the net
losses. There were 3,018,972 and 2,356,085 anti-dilutive common stock options
and common stock warrants outstanding at January 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company completed the following transactions in February 1998:
(a) A member of the board of directors extended a loan of $75,000 to
the Company. The loan is due on demand and bears interest at the prime rate
plus 1%.
(b) The Company retired an unsecured $25,000 note owed to a member
of the board of directors.
(c) VCN sold one private placement unit to a member of the
Company's board of director for $100,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX AND THREE
MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997
Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1998 increased as compared to
revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1997, as a result of an increase in
commercial production revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The
increase in commercial production revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
was partially offset by a decrease in commercial production revenues in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998, as a result of which total revenues for the
second quarter of fiscal 1998 were lower than those of the earlier period.
Commercial production revenues were $1,907,038 for the first six months of
fiscal 1998, representing an increase of $309,563 or 19.4% from commercial
production revenues of $1,597,475 for the first six months of fiscal 1997. This
increase was due primarily to a significant increase in the average size of
awarded commercial production contracts in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Commercial production revenues decreased by $410,189 to $401,461 for the
three months ended January 31, 1998 from $811,650 for the three months ended
January 31, 1997. This decrease was the result of a decrease in the number of
bidding opportunities and successful bids.
The level of the Company's commercial production revenues in each period
will depend on the size and number of projects it is awarded, which can
fluctuate dependent on changes in levels of commercial advertising expenditures
by advertisers, the number and commercial appeal of the commercial producers and
directors with which the Company is working in any one period, and the success
the Company and those producers and directors have in competing for projects.
Accordingly, the level of commercial revenues or growth therein in any one
interim period may not be indicative of trends that will continue throughout the
fiscal year.
The number of directors utilized by the Company varies over time. One
individual, who directed commercial representing 61.8% of the Company's revenues
in fiscal 1997, ended her relationship with the Company in December 1997; the
Company intends to establish similar relationships with other directors in the
future.
Commercial production costs, as a percentage of related revenues, were
70.2% for the six months ended January 31, 1998 as compared to 74.5% for the six
months ended January 31, 1997. This decrease in commercial production costs,
relative to revenues, was primarily the result of an increase in the average
size of awarded commercial production contracts and resulting increased level of
gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Commercial production costs,
as a percentage of related revenues, were 74.5% for the three months ended
January 31, 1998 as compared to 73.6% for the three months ended January 31,
1997. Gross profits for commercial production were $568,899 and $407,662 for
the six months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Gross profits for
commercial production were $102,290 and $214,390 for the three months ended
January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
There were no film revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1998 as
compared to film revenues of $50,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1997,
and there were no film revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1998 as
compared to film revenues of $25,000 for the three months ended January 31,
1997. There were no film project releases during the first six months of fiscal
1998 and 1997, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $133,364 to
$795,520 for the six months ended January 31, 1998 from $662,156 for the six
months ended January 31, 1997 and increased $112,097 to $434,505 for the three
months ended January 31, 1998 from $322,408 for the three months ended January
31, 1997. These increases were primarily the result of the addition of several
staff positions related to the startup of Video Communications Network, LLC and
an increase in travel and related expenses incurred in efforts to strengthen the
Company's capital structure.
F-7
<PAGE>
Interest expense increased to $17,561 for the first six months of fiscal
1998 from $8,180 for the first six months of fiscal 1997 and increased to $9,054
for the three months ended January 31, 1998 from $6,941 for the three months
ended January 31, 1997. These increases were the result of an increase in
outstanding debt during the first six months of fiscal 1998.
Other expense of $90,000 for the six and three months ended January 31,
1997 resulted from an accrual for the anticipated settlement by the parties of a
pending arbitration dispute ultimately resolved in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1997.
As a result of the foregoing factors the Company incurred a net loss
$244,182 for the first six months of fiscal 1998 as compared to a net loss of
$336,950 for the first six months of fiscal 1997 and incurred a net loss of
$341,269 for the three months ended January 31, 1998 as compared to a net loss
of $202,068 for the three months ended January 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's strategic goal is to finance its operating (i.e. selling,
general and administrative) expenses from the gross profits generated by its
television film, commercial production and LSVD operations while utilizing
equity financing, pre-production license revenues, and co-producer contributions
to finance the production of feature films. Using this strategy, the Company
seeks to reduce or eliminate the burden of significant operating losses and
negative cash flows, while retaining the potential for significant profits and
positive cash flows from feature films. The success of such a strategy is,
however, dependent on the Company's ability to control operating expenses, to
obtain sufficient, and sufficiently profitable, commercial production contracts,
to produce profitable television film projects and to fully develop its LSVD
operations.
Operating cash flows were a negative $228,248 for the six months ended
January 31, 1998 and were primarily the result of a shortfall in the level of
commercial production revenues and a delay in commencement of the planned LSVD
operations of VCN and DETV.
Accounts receivable decreased by $372,213 as a result of reduced billings
and the receipt of several payments against existing accounts receivable; these
cash flows were used to reduce the related accounts payable and accrued expenses
by $285,041. Film costs increased by $71,446 due to the incurrance of pre-
production and production costs related to several television film and feature
film projects, including a co-production with Georgia Public Television ("GPTV")
scheduled for broadcast on GPTV and other public television stations in August
1998.
The negative operating cash flows for the first six months of fiscal 1998
were funded from a combination of proceeds from borrowings and the issuance of
Company and VCN equity securities.
Operating cash flows were a negative $171,863 for the six months ended
January 31, 1997, principally as the result of a $238,770 shortfall in the
coverage of SG&A expenses by television film and commercial production profits.
These operating cash flow shortfalls were financed with borrowings related to
new debt financing and from the proceeds of equity sales.
The Company may experience negative operating cash flows in periods when
television film and commercial production revenues fail to cover SG&A expenses.
Cash flows may also be negative in periods of profitable operations if growth in
the Company's level of operations causes costs to rise in advance of collections
and the increase is not offset by increases in accounts payable or accrued
expenses. Negative operating cash flows, from either cause, will constrain the
Company's liquidity, and necessitate the use of debt or equity financing.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses and
negative cash flows until the Company fully develops the planned LSVD operations
of VCN and DETV and/or develops a consistent level of production for its
television film and feature films projects.
F-8
<PAGE>
Notes payable and notes payable/related parties, including amounts borrowed
subsequent to the quarter ended January 31, 1998, aggregating approximately
$509,000 mature during fiscal 1998, resulting in a significant demand upon the
Company's operating cash flows. If operating cash flows are unavailable to
repay these notes, the Company will attempt to either negotiate an extension of
the due dates for these notes or attempt to raise additional funds through new
debt/equity financing or the sale of assets.
The development of the Company's LSVD projects will require significant
capital, which the Company generally anticipates raising through the issuance of
minority equity interest in the LSVD projects. The Company is currently
undertaking the private placement offering of minority interests in both Video
Communications Network, LLC, the subsidiary which will produce programming and
develop or hold the Company's interest in its overall LSVD activities, and in
Diversity Entertainment Television/Atlanta, LLC, the subsidiary which has been
organized to develop the Company's Atlanta, Georgia LSVD project (See Notes 2
and 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Accordingly, the
level of the Company's ownership of any or all of its LSVD projects may decrease
in the future as minority interests are sold to obtain development or operating
funds. However, there can be no assurance that these private placement
offerings will be successfully completed by the Company or that alternative
financing for the LSVD projects will be available from other sources.
The Company has had preliminary discussions concerning the financing for
the production of its first feature film project, currently titled False River.
The Company anticipates that it will organize a Limited Liability Company for
these purposes and, subject to availability of funds, plans to begin production
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
Additionally, the Company is currently considering asset based financing as
a means of addressing short-term operating cash flow requirements. There can be
no assurance that such a line of credit will be established nor that the terms
offered will be acceptable to the Company.
On the basis of its discussions to date with both potential investors and
financial advisors, the Company believes that it will be able to obtain capital
sufficient to finance its fiscal 1998 business plan through debt or equity
offerings together with the sale of minority interests in its LSVD operations.
However, there can be no assurances that any such debt or equity financing will
be available to the Company, or if available, that such financing would be
available on terms considered acceptable to the Company. The inability to obtain
such debt or equity financing as needed would require the Company to suspend or
materially reduce the scope of its operations.
