                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Owners of  Next Generation  Services,  LLC, Primary  Marketing Group and
Primary Marketing Group Limited:

We have audited the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheets of Next  Generation
Services,  LLC (a California limited liability  corporation),  Primary Marketing
Group, Inc. (a California corporation), and Primary Marketing Group Limited, (an
Irish limited  liability  company),  as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and
the related combined statements of operations, owners' equity and cash flows for
the years then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility
of the  Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on
these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the combined  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Next  Generation
Services,  LLC,  Primary  Marketing  Group  and  Primary Marketing Group Limited
as of December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                     As of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Sale of the Companies

On  February  4,  1998,  Primary   Marketing   Group  (PMG)  and Next Generation
Services,  LLC  (NGS)  were  merged  with and  into  Zomax  Services, Inc. (the
Subsidiary),  a   wholly   owned   subsidiary   of  Zomax  Optical  Media,  Inc.
(the  Registrant)  pursuant to  a  Merger  Agreement dated February 3, 1998 (the
Merger).  In the Merger,  all issued and outstanding  shares of PMG common stock
and membership  interests in NGS were converted into the right to receive shares
of  the  Registrant's  common  stock.  In  aggregate,   795,860  shares  of  the
Registrant's common stock were issued to Anthony Angelini,  Ronald Silzer, Brian
Fleury,  Andrew Berg and Blake White in connection with the Merger. Prior to the
Merger,  PMG's  business  consisted of providing  manufacturers'  representative
services in the  computer  industry  and NGS'  business  consisted  primarily of
providing returned merchandise authorization processing services in the computer
industry.  PMG and NGS operated  their  respective  businesses  from  facilities
located in and around San Jose,  California.  The Subsidiary  intends to provide
substantially  the same products and services that PMG and NGS provided prior to
the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, the Subsidiary succeeded to PMG's 78% ownership stake
in the capital stock of Primary Marketing Group Limited (PMG Limited), a company
incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Ireland.  Simultaneous  to the  Merger,  the
Subsidiary  acquired the remaining 22% of the  outstanding  capital stock of PMG
Limited in exchange for shares of the Registrant's  common stock pursuant to the
terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 3, 1998 (the Acquisition). In
aggregate,  4,142 shares of the Registrant's common stock were issued to Anthony
Angelini,  Ronald  Silzer,  Brain Fleury,  Andrew Berg,  Blake White and Patrick
Burke in connection with the Acquisition.  Prior to the Acquisition, PMG Limited
was a multimedia  manufacturing  and services company with operations in Dublin,
Ireland.  The Subsidiary  intends to continue to operate PMG Limited as a wholly
owned subsidiary providing substantially the same products and services that PMG
Limited provided prior to the Acquisition.

The transactions will be accounted for using the pooling-of-interests  method of
accounting.

Dividends

NGS  distributes  approximately  75% of its taxable  income to its members.  PMG
distributes 100% of its taxable income to its shareholders.

Pro Forma Income Taxes

As a result of the Companies'  legal  structure as a limited  liability  company
(NGS and PMG Limited) and S corporation (PMG), the Companies' net income or loss
is reported in the income tax returns of its individual owners.  Accordingly, no
provision  for  income  taxes  is  reflected  in  the  combined   statements  of
operations.

In  connection  with the  acquisition  discussed in Note 1, the  Companies  will
become taxable  entities.  Pro forma income taxes have been calculated  using an
effective tax rate of 41%.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The financial instruments with which the Companies are involved are primarily of
a  traditional  nature.  For  most  instruments,  including  cash,  receivables,
accounts  payable,  accrued  expenses and  short-term  debt,  the Companies have
assumed  that the  carrying  amounts  approximate  fair  value  because of their
short-term nature.

2.   Note Payable:

As of December 31, 1997, the Companies had an installment loan with a lender for
$83,333.  The interest rate is at the bank's reference rate plus 1.625% (10.125%
December 31, 1997).  The payment terms are monthly  payments of $1,667 due until
February, 2002.

The  Companies  had a note payable at December  31, 1997   totaling  $120,000 in
connection with the redemption of the equity  interests of a former owner.  This
note is scheduled to be paid off during 1998.


<PAGE>

3.   Commitments and Contingencies:

Litigation

The Companies  are involved in claims  arising in the normal course of business.
In management's  opinion, the final resolution of these claims should not have a
material effect on the Companies' financial position or results of operations.

Operating Leases

The  Companies  are  committed  under   operating   leases  for  the  rental  of
manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities. Rent expense for the years ended
December  31,  1997,  1996  and  1995  was  $495,668,   $289,262  and  $237,479,
respectively.   Minimum  future  lease  commitments  under  noncancelable  lease
agreements in excess of one year as of December 31, 1997 are as follows:

              1998                                         $428,550
              1999                                          402,428

           PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The  following  pro forma  unaudited  condensed  combined  financial  statements
include  the  historical  financial  statements  of Zomax  Optical  Media,  Inc.
(Successor to Zomax Optical  Media Limited  Partnership)  and give effect to the
transactions  and  events  described  in the  notes  accompanying  the pro forma
unaudited  condensed  combined  financial  statements as if the transactions and
events  referred  to therein  were  initiated  at the  beginning  of the periods
presented.

On  February  4,  1998,   Primary   Marketing   Group  (PMG) and Next Generation
Services,  LLC  (NGS)  were  merged  with and into  Zomax  Services,  Inc.  (the
Subsidiary), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zomax Optical Media, Inc. (the Company
or the  Registrant)  pursuant to a Merger  Agreement dated February 3, 1998 (the
Merger).  In the Merger,  all issued and outstanding  shares of PMG common stock
and membership  interests in NGS were converted into the right to receive shares
of  the  Registrant's  common  stock.  In  aggregate,   795,860  shares  of  the
Registrant's common stock were issued to Anthony Angelini,  Ronald Silzer, Brian
Fleury,  Andrew Berg and Blake White in connection with the Merger. Prior to the
Merger,  PMG's  business  consisted of providing  manufacturers'  representative
services in the  computer  industry  and NGS'  business  consisted  primarily of
providing returned merchandise authorization processing services in the computer
industry.  PMG and NGS operated  their  respective  businesses  from  facilities
located in and around San Jose,  California.  The Subsidiary  intends to provide
substantially  the same products and services that PMG and NGS provided prior to
the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, the Subsidiary succeeded to PMG's 78% ownership stake
in the capital stock of Primary Marketing Group Limited (PMG Limited), a company
incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Ireland.  Simultaneous  to the  Merger,  the
Subsidiary  acquired the remaining 22% of the  outstanding  capital stock of PMG
Limited in exchange for shares of the Registrant's  common stock pursuant to the
terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 3, 1998 (the Acquisition). In
aggregate,  4,142 shares of the Registrant's common stock were issued to Anthony
Angelini,  Ronald  Silzer,  Brain Fleury,  Andrew Berg,  Blake White and Patrick
Burke in connection with the Acquisition.  Prior to the Acquisition, PMG Limited
was a multimedia  manufacturing  and services company with operations in Dublin,
Ireland.  The Subsidiary  intends to continue to operate PMG Limited as a wholly
owned subsidiary providing substantially the same products and services that PMG
Limited provided prior to the Acquisition.

These transactions will be accounted for using the  pooling-of-interests  method
of accounting.

The pro  forma  adjustments  are  based on  available  information  and  certain
estimates and assumptions.  Therefore,  it is likely that the actual adjustments
will  differ from the pro forma  adjustments.  The  Company  believes  that such
estimates and assumptions  provide a reasonable  basis for presenting all of the
significant  effects  of the  transactions  and  events  and that the pro  forma
adjustments give  appropriate  effect to those estimates and assumptions and are
properly  applied  in the  pro  forma  unaudited  condensed  combined  financial
statements.

The pro forma unaudited  condensed combined financial  statements should be read
in  conjunction  with the  historical  financial  statements  and related  notes
included in the Company's Form 10-K. The pro forma unaudited  condensed combined
financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and should not
be construed to be  indicative  of the  Company's  results of  operations or the
Company's  financial  position had the  transactions  and events described above
been consummated on the dates assumed and do not project the Company's financial
position or results of operations for any future date or period.
