                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

THE SHAREHOLDER OF GENERAL ELECTRIC 
  CAPITAL COMPUTER LEASING 
  CORPORATION

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Total Audio Visual Services (a
division of General Electric Capital Computer Leasing Corporation) as of
December 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations and divisional
equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Total Audio Visual Services as
of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
   
Total Audio Visual Services ("TAVS" or the "Company") is a division of General
Electric Capital Computer Leasing Corporation ("GECCLC"), which is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric Company ("GE").  TAVS is a provider
of audio visual equipment rentals and staging services to companies, as well as
hotel audio visual outsourcing services in the United States.  TAVS enters into
short-term rentals of equipment on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.  TAVS also
sells equipment to customers.    

GECCLC acquired TAVS in September 1994 for a purchase price of approximately
$15,000,000. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  The excess of the purchase price over the  fair value of net assets
of the business acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized
straight-line over 15 years.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue at the end of the rental period for rental and
service agreements.  Sales of equipment are recognized in the period sold.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The December 31, 1995 accounts receivable balance includes unbilled revenue of
approximately  $750,000.

RESALE INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-
out method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of related assets.  The estimated useful lives of the
assets are five years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-
line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated life.

ACCOUNTING  FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO
BE DISPOSED OF

In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121 ("SFAS No. 121"), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.  SFAS No. 121 also addresses
the accounting for long-lived assets that are 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
expected to be disposed of. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 121 in 1996;
however, they do not believe the adoption will have a significant impact on the
Company.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
businesses acquired and is amortized over a 15 year period using the straight-
line method. Amortization expense for 1995 totaled approximately $278,000.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $34,000 for 1995.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivable.  The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions.
The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of
those financial institutions to minimize credit risk. Concentrations of credit
risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large
number of entities comprising the Company's customer base.  The Company performs
periodic evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does
not require collateral.  At December 31, 1995, accounts receivable from hotel
and convention centers approximated $4,359,000.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable
and accounts payable approximate their fair values.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
    
Taxes and interest paid in 1995 were settled through the "Due to GECCLC" account
and thus no cash was remitted by the Company for these items.
     
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    
The amount payable to GECCLC represents a net amount due to various entities of
GECCLC for services provided or expenses paid by GECCLC on behalf of the Company
offset by cash remitted to GECCLC.  GECCLC charged interest to TAVS based upon
their monthly budgeted net investment in TAVS using an interest rate of
approximately 7.25%.
     
                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
GECCLC and several of its divisions provide substantial services to the Company,
including treasury, tax, financial reporting, legal, payroll, marketing, and
information systems.  GECCLC charged the Company $180,000 for these services in
1995.  These charges are allocated based upon headcount, direct cost or the
number of transactions processed. In addition, certain employees of GECCLC, work
exclusively for the Company.  As a result, the payroll and related benefits for
these employees are rebilled to TAVS.

Management believes that the basis used for allocating these services is
reasonable.  However, the terms of these transactions may differ from those that
would result from transactions among unrelated parties.

Certain employees are eligible for GE benefits related to health care, pension
and a savings and security plan.  GECCLC charges the Company a percentage of
labor costs for these benefits.  Payroll expenses in 1995 includes approximately
$2,800,000 of charges for these benefits.

and the year ended September 30, 1995, the transactions described in the
preceding paragraph had occurred on October 1, 1994.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based upon the
historical consolidated financial statements of each of the Company, Spectrum
and TAVS and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and
the related notes thereto, all of which are included elsewhere in this Form 
8-K/A or in the Company's other filings with the Commission.

Spectrum's fiscal year-end (June 30) differed from the Company's fiscal year-end
(September 30).  The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended September 30, 1995
include Spectrum's historical results of operations for Spectrum's eight months
ended May 31, 1996 and its year ended June 30, 1995, respectively. The
historical financial information of Spectrum referred to above has been adjusted
to conform to the generally accepted accounting principles of the United States
and has been translated into United States dollars based upon the applicable
exchange rates. The Company's historical results of operations for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996 include the results of operations of Spectrum since
June 1, 1996, its effective date of acquisition.
     

TAVS' fiscal year-end (December 31) differed from the Company's fiscal year-end
(September 30).  The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended September 30, 1995
include TAVS' results of operations for its nine months ended June 30, 1996 and
its year ended December 31, 1995, respectively.  As a result of the differing
year ends of the Company and of TAVS, the results of operations of TAVS for the
three months ended December 31, 1995 are included in both periods.  Certain
amounts in TAVS' Statement of Operations have been reclassified to conform to
the presentation of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
