                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1997


NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY

     VDI MEDIA (the "Company") is a provider of high quality, value-added 
video distribution and duplication services including distribution of 
national television spot advertising, motion picture trailers and electronic 
press kits. The Company's services consist of (i) the physical and electronic 
delivery of broadcast quality advertising, including spots, trailers, 
electronic press kits and infomercials, and syndicated television programming 
to television stations, cable television and other end-users nationwide and 
(ii) a broad range of video services, including the duplication of video in all 
formats, element storage, standards conversions, closed captioning and 
transcription services, and video encoding for air play verification purposes. 
The Company also provides its customers value-added post production and editing 
services. The Company is headquartered in Hollywood, California and has 
additional facilities in Los Angeles, California; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Chicago, 
Illinois; New York, New York and San Francisco, California.

     In the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the sale of 
3,120,000 common shares, no par value ("Common Stock"), in an initial public 
offering (the "Offering").  Prior to the Offering, the Company had elected S 
Corporation status for federal and state income tax purposes.  As a result of 
the Offering, the S Corporation status terminated.  Thereafter, the Company 
has paid federal and state income taxes as a C Corporation.  The termination 
of the Company's S Corporation status resulted in the establishment of a net 
deferred tax liability calculated at normal federal and state income rates, 
causing a one-time non-cash charge of $185,000 against earnings for 
additional income tax expense in the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

     In May 1996, the Company effected a 333-for-1 common stock split and 
increased the number of authorized shares to 50,000,000 shares of common 
stock. All share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been 
retroactively restated to reflect this split.

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Securities 
and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for reporting interim 
financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered 
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of 
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.  
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements and related notes contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2 -- WOODHOLLY PRODUCTIONS AND MULTI-MEDIA ACQUISITIONS

      On January 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the assets of Woodholly 
Productions.  Woodholly Productions provides full service duplication, 
distribution, video content storage and ancillary services to major motion 
picture studios, advertising agencies and independent production companies 
for both domestic and international use.  As consideration, the Company will 
pay the partners of Woodholly Productions a maximum of $9.0 million, net of 
adjustments, of which $4.0 million was paid in the first quarter of 1997.  
The remaining balance is subject to earn-out provisions which are predicated 
upon Woodholly Productions attaining certain operating income goals, as set 
forth in the purchase agreement, in each quarter through December 31, 2001.  
To date, the Company has made earn-out payments totaling $0.6 million for the 
first three quarters of 1997.

      On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of 
Multi-Media Services, Inc. ("Multi-Media Services"), a duplication and 
distribution company specializing in commercial advertisers and major ad 
agencies.  As consideration, the Company paid a purchase price of $6.8 
million, net of adjustments.  In addition, the 


                                       5

<PAGE>

purchase agreement calls for earn-out payments of up to $2.0 million 
(exclusive of interest) in the event Multi-Media Services meets specified 
financial goals.

      The Company has accounted for both of these acquisitions as purchases. 
Goodwill arising from these transactions is being amortized over twenty 
years. The contingent purchase price for each of these transactions, to the 
extent earned, will be recorded as an increase to goodwill.

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
of Woodholly Productions, Multi-Media Services and the Company.  All material 
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  The 
consolidated statement of income includes both Woodholly Productions and 
Multi-Media Services' results of operations from the effective date of their 
acquisitions.

     The following table reflects unaudited pro forma combined results of 
operations of the Company, Woodholly Productions and Multi-Media Services as 
if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1996:

NOTE 3 -- S CORPORATION DISTRIBUTION

     In connection with the termination of its S Corporation status (see Note 
1), the Company distributed $5.6 million of the net proceeds of the Offering 
("S Corp Distribution") to its three shareholders in respect of previously 
taxed and undistributed earnings of the Company.  A final distribution of 
approximately $0.3 million is expected to be paid on or before November 30, 
1997 to the Company's pre-offering Shareholders.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     In connection with the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private 
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company, in its Annual Report 
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, outlined cautionary 
statements identifying important factors that could cause the Company's 
actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking 
statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.  Such forward-looking 
statements, as made within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, should be 
considered in conjunction with the information included in the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the risk 
factors set forth in the Company's prospectus filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission dated February 18, 1997.     

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 
30, 1996

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased by $10.4 million or 57.0% to $28.5 million 
for the nine month period ended  September 30, 1997 compared to $18.2 million 
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. This increase in revenue 
was due to increased volume resulting from (i) new clients and the availability 
of new services and capacity resulting from the acquisition of Woodholly 
Productions and Multi-Media Services and (ii) substantially increased 
marketing of the Company's national distribution capabilities through the 
Broadcast One/Multi-Media Services division.  

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased $3.9 million or 55.3% to $11.0 
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $7.1 
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996.  As a percentage 
of revenues, gross profit decreased from 39.1% to 38.6%.   The decrease in 
gross profit as a percentage of revenues was attributable to an increase in 
direct labor costs and depreciation charges resulting from the acquisition of 
Woodholly Productions and Multi-Media Services. These amounts were partially 
offset by lower shipping expenses for the services provided by Woodholly 
Productions which are generally distributed to fewer locations. 

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE.  Selling, general and 
administrative expense increased $2.5 million or 60.6% to $6.8 million for 
the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $4.2 million for 
the nine month period ended September 30, 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, 
selling, general and administrative expense increased to 23.7% for the nine 
month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to 23.1% for the nine month 
period ended September 30, 1996. This increase is due to increased headcount 
in the Company's sales and marketing departments and an increase in 
depreciation and amortization charges resulting from the acquisition of 
Woodholly Productions and Multi-Media Services. In addition, selling, general 
and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 
includes salaries paid to the four former owners of Woodholly Productions. 

     OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income increased $1.4 million or 47.7% to 
$4.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to 
$2.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996.

     INCOME TAXES.  Prior to the Offering, the Company operated as an S 
Corporation.  As such, the Company was not responsible for federal income 
taxes and provided for state income taxes at reduced rates.  As a result of 
the Offering, the Company's S Corporation status terminated.  Accordingly, 
the Company will, in future periods,  provide for all income taxes at higher 
statutory rates.  These factors are estimated to result in an effective tax 
rate for periods subsequent to the Offering of approximately 40%.  For the 
nine month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded a one-time 
non-cash charge of $0.2 million for deferred taxes based upon an increase in 
the effective tax rate for the Company's S Corporation status (1.5%) to C 
Corporation status (40%) applied to the temporary differences between the 
financial reporting and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities.

     NET INCOME.  Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 
1997 remained constant at $2.6 million compared to the nine month period 
ended September 30, 1996. Net income did not rise proportionately to the 
increase in operating income as the Company currently provides for taxes at 
a higher effective rate of approximately

40%.  In the prior comparable period the Company was taxed as an S 
Corporation and provided for income taxes at an effective rate of 1.5%.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased by $4.4 million or 63.6% to $11.2 million 
for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $6.9 million 
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996. This increase in revenue 
was due to increased volume resulting from (i) new clients and the availability 
of new services and capacity resulting from the acquisition of Woodholly 
Productions and Multi-Media Services and (ii) substantially increased 
marketing of the Company's national distribution capabilities through the 
Broadcast One/Multi-Media Services division. 

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased $1.3 million or 43.8% to $4.2 
million for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $2.9 
million for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.  As a percentage 
of revenues, gross profit decreased from 42.0% to 36.9%.  The decrease in 
gross profit as a percentage of revenues was attributable to an increase in 
direct labor costs, depreciation charges and outsourcing costs resulting from 
the acquisition of Multi-Media Services. These amounts were partially offset 
by lower shipping expenses for the services provided by Woodholly Productions 
which are generally distributed to fewer locations.  

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE.  Selling, general and 
administrative expense increased $1.0 million or 70.2% to $2.5 million for 
the three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1.5 million for 
the three month period ended September 30, 1996.  As a percentage of 
revenues, selling, general and administrative expense increased to 22.4% for 
the three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to 21.5% for the 
three month period ended September 30, 1996. This increase in selling, 
general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues was primarily 
due to the increased headcount resulting from the acquisition of Multi-Media 
Services and an increase in depreciation and amortization charges resulting 
from the acquisition of Woodholly Productions and Multi-Media Services, and 
was offset by the spreading of fixed overhead expenses over a higher revenue 
base in the three month period ended September 30, 1997 than to the 
comparable period in 1996.

     OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income increased $0.2 million or 16.1% to 
$1.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to 
$1.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.

     INCOME TAXES.  Prior to the Offering, the Company operated as an S 
Corporation.  As such, the Company was not responsible for federal income 
taxes and provided for state income taxes at reduced rates.  As a result of 
the Offering, the Company's S Corporation status terminated.  Accordingly, 
the Company will, in future periods,  provide for all income taxes at higher 
statutory rates.  These factors are estimated to result in an effective tax 
rate for periods subsequent to the Offering of approximately 40%.

     NET INCOME.  Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 
1997 decreased $0.4 million or -27.2% to $1.0 million compared to $1.3 
million for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.  Such decrease 
is not proportionate to the increase in operating income as the Company 
currently provides for taxes at a higher effective rate of approximately 40%. 
In the prior comparable period the Company was taxed as an S Corporation and 
provided for income taxes at an effective rate of 1.5%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     
     This discussion should be read in conjunction with the notes to the 
financial statements and the corresponding information more fully described 
in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
     
     Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations through 
internally generated cash flow, borrowings under lending agreements with 
financial institutions and, to a lesser degree, borrowings from related 
parties. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the Offering of  
3,120,000 shares of Common Stock, 200,000 of which were sold on behalf of a 
selling shareholder. The net proceeds of the Offering to the Company 


                                       8

were approximately $18.0 million.

     At September 30, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents 
aggregated $3.6 million.  The Company's operating activities provided cash of 
$4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $3.3 million 
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     The Company's investing activities used cash of $12.5 million for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1997 including $4.7 million for the 
acquisition of Woodholly Productions and $6.8 million for the acquisition of 
Multi-Media Services.  The Company also spent approximately $1.0 million for 
the addition and replacement of capital equipment necessary to accommodate 
increased customer demands for the Company's services, and for investments in 
management information systems.  The Company's business is equipment 
intensive, requiring periodic expenditures of cash or the incurrence of 
additional debt to acquire additional videotape duplication equipment in 
order to increase capacity or replace existing equipment. The Company expects 
to spend approximately $1.0 million on capital expenditures during the fourth 
quarter of 1997 to acquire additional equipment and management information 
systems.

     The Company's financing activities provided cash of $10.8 million in the 
nine months ended September 30, 1997.  Cash flows from financing activities 
during such nine month period include the effect of the Offering which raised 
net proceeds of approximately $18.0 million.  Using the proceeds of the 
Offering, the Company repaid $1.8 million outstanding under its term loan 
with a bank.  In addition the Company paid the first two installments of the 
final S Corporation distribution to its shareholders.  Such distribution 
represents previously taxed and undistributed earnings of the Company while 
an S Corporation. The final installment, which is currently estimated to be 
approximately $0.3 million, is expected to be paid on or before November 30, 
1997 to the Company's pre-offering Shareholders.

     In January 1997 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and 
assumed certain liabilities of Woodholly Productions (the "Woodholly 
Acquisition").  The purchase price consisted of an initial payment of $4.0 
million, net of adjustments, plus an undetermined contingent purchase price.  
The contingent purchase price is to be earned and paid based on the total 
operating income (as defined) resulting from the financial results of 
Woodholly Productions as a separate division of the Company.   The contingent 
purchase price, in total, is limited to $5.0 million. To date, the Company 
has made earn-out payments totaling $0.6 million for the first three quarters 
of 1997.  The excess of the initial consideration over the fair value of the 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed of approximately $1.8 million has 
been allocated to goodwill.
     
     In August 1997 the Company acquired substantially all of the outstanding 
capital stock of Multi-Media Services (the "Multi-Media Acquisition").  The 
purchase price consisted of an initial payment of $6.8 million, net of 
adjustments, plus an undetermined contingent purchase price.  The contingent 
purchase price is to be earned and paid based on the total operating income 
(as defined) resulting from the financial results of Multi-Media Services as 
a separate division of the Company.  The contingent purchase price, in total, 
is limited to $2.0 million.  The excess of the initial consideration over the 
fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of approximately 
$5.0 million has been allocated to goodwill.  

     Goodwill arising from the Woodholly Acquisition and Multi-Media 
Acquisition (the "acquisitions") will be amortized over 20 years.  The 
contingent purchase price for the acquisitions, to the extent earned, will be 
treated as an increase in goodwill.  The acquisitions were accounted for by 
the Company under the purchase method of accounting.

     The Company had a $2.0 million revolving credit agreement with Union 
Bank which expired on June 30, 1997.  Management is in the process of 
negotiating a new credit facility.   Additionally, in connection with the 
purchase of Multi-Media, the Company assumed responsibility for a $0.5 
million revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (the "Wells Fargo 
Credit Agreement") which expires on January 10, 1998.  The amount currently 
outstanding under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement is $0.4 million.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - (CONTINUED)     

     Management believes that cash generated from the Offering, ongoing 
operations, and its existing working capital will fund necessary capital 
expenditures and provide adequate working capital for at least the next 
twelve months.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - (CONTINUED)     


     The Company, from time to time, considers the acquisition of businesses 
complementary to its current operations.  Consummation of any such 
acquisition or other expansion of the business conducted by the Company may 
be subject to the Company securing additional financing.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128") 
which will become effective in the fourth quarter of 1997, FAS 128 replaces 
the presentation of earnings per share reflected on the Statement of Income 
with a dual presentation of Basic Earnings per Share ("Basic EPS") and 
Diluted Earnings per Share ("Diluted EPS").  FAS 128 does not permit early 
application; however, it requires, when implemented in the fourth quarter of 
1997, restatement of previously reported earnings per share for each income 
statement presented.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 128 to 
have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" 
("FAS 130") which will become effective in fiscal 1998.  The Company does not 
expect the adoption of FAS 130 to have a material impact on its financial 
condition or results of operations.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an 
Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131") which will become effective 
in fiscal 1998.  FAS 131 establishes standards for the way publicly-held 
companies report information about operating segments as well as disclosures 
about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  However, 
the Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 131 to have a material impact 
on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
