NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY
VDI MultiMedia ("VDI" or the "Company") is a leading provider of video
and film asset management services to owners, producers and distributors of
entertainment and advertising content. The Company provides the services
necessary to edit, master, reformat, archive and ultimately distribute its
clients' video content.
The Company provides physical and electronic delivery of commercials,
movie trailers, electronic press kits, infomercials and syndicated
programming to thousands of broadcast outlets worldwide. The Company provides
worldwide electronic distribution, using fiber optics and satellites, through
its Broadcast One -Registered Trademark- network. Additionally, the Company
provides 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 seeks to capitalize on growth in demand for the services
related to the distribution of entertainment content, without assuming the
production or ownership risk of any specific television program, feature film
or other form of content. The primary users of the Company's services are
entertainment studios and advertising agencies that generally choose to
outsource such services due to the sporadic demand of any single customer for
such services and the fixed costs of maintaining a high-volume physical plant.
Since January 1, 1997, the Company has successfully completed seven
acquisitions of companies providing similar services. The latest of these
acquisitions occurred in November 1998 when the Company acquired the assets
of Dubs, Inc. ("Dubs"), one of the Company's largest direct competitors in
Hollywood. The Company will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities to
enhance its operations and profitability. As a result of these acquisitions,
VDI believes it is one of the largest and most diversified providers of
technical and distribution services to the entertainment industry, and is
therefore able to offer its customers a single source for such services at
prices that reflect the Company's scale economies.
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 adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. 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, 1998, as amended.
NOTE 2 - STOCK REPURCHASE
In February 1999, the Company commenced a stock repurchase program. The
board of directors authorized the Company to allocate up to $4,000,000 to
purchase its common stock at suitable market prices. As of August 13, 1999,
the Company has repurchased 573,000 shares of the Company's common stock in
connection with this program.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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, 1998, outlined cautionary
statements identifying important factors that could cause the Company's
actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking
statements 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, 1998, as amended,
and the risk factors set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19,
1997 and Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on June 29, 1998. Factors that could cause future results
to differ from the Company's expectations include, but are not limited to,
the following: competition, customer and industry concentration, dependence
on technological developments, risks related to expansion and acquisition of
new businesses, dependence on key personnel, fluctuating results and
seasonality and control by management.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998.
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $4.4 million or 30.1% to $18.7 million
for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $14.3 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 1998. This increase in revenue was due
to increased volume resulting from (i) the acquisitions of All Post, Inc.
("All Post"), Dubs, and The Dub House ("Dub House") and (ii) substantially
increased marketing of the Company's services.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $2.1 million or 37.8% to $7.8
million for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $5.7
million for the three month period ended June 30, 1998. As a percent of
revenues, gross profit increased from 40.0% to 42.1%. The increase in gross
profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the lower cost of
direct materials resulting from scale purchasing discounts.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $1.2 million, or 40.6%, to $4.2 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $3.0 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expense increased to 22.4% for the three month
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to 20.9% for the three month period ended
June 30, 1998. This increase was due to higher administrative wages at All
Post and Dubs as well as increased amortization costs associated with
acquisitions.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $1.0 million or 34.7% to
$3.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $2.7
million for the three month period ended June 30, 1998.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 301%, to
$0.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $0.1
million for the three month period ended June 30, 1998. This increase was due
to increased borrowings under the Company's debt agreements related to the
acquisitions of the Dub House, All Post and Dubs.
INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 41% for the second
quarter of 1999 and 1998.
<PAGE>
NET INCOME. Net Income for the three month period ended June 30, 1999
increased $0.3 million or 20.1% to $1.8 million compared to $1.5 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 1998.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998.
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $12.5 million or 48.5% to $38.4 million
for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $25.9 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1998. This increase in revenue was due to
increased volume resulting from (i) the acquisitions of All Post, Inc. ("All
Post"), Dubs, and The Dub House ("Dub House") and (ii) substantially
increased marketing of the Company's media services.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $5.8 million or 57.1% to $16.0
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $10.2
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1998. As a percent of
revenues, gross profit increased from 39.4% to 41.7%. The increase in gross
profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the lower cost of
direct materials resulting from scale purchasing discounts.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $3.7 million, or 66.6%, to $9.2 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $5.5 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expense increased to 23.8% for the six month
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to 21.2% for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998. This increase was due to higher administrative wages at All
Post and Dubs as well as increased rent and amortization costs associated
with acquisitions.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $2.2 million or 46.0% to
$6.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $4.7
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1998.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 342%, to
$1.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $0.2
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1998. This increase was due
to increased borrowings under the Company's debt agreements related to the
acquisitions of the Dub House, All Post and Dubs.
INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 41% for the first
six months of 1999 and 1998.
NET INCOME. Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
increased $0.8 million or 29.7% to $3.4 million compared to $2.6 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1998.
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, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1998.
At June 30, 1999 the Company's cash and cash equivalents aggregated
$2.6 million. The Company's operating activities provided cash of $5.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The Company's investing activities used cash of $5.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. The Company spent approximately $4.1 million
for the addition and replacement of capital equipment necessary to
consolidate newly acquired companies, 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 fixed assets in order to increase capacity or replace existing
equipment. The Company expects to spend approximately $3.0 million on capital
expenditures during the last six months of 1999 to complete the consolidation
of newly acquired facilities, upgrade and replace equipment and upgrade the
Company's management information systems.
The Company's financing activities provided cash of $0.3 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1999. Cash flows from financing activities include
a $5.7 million increase in the Company's revolving credit agreement with
Union Bank of California (the "Bank"), used primarily to fund capital
expenditures related to the integration and consolidation of acquired
companies and to repurchase the Company's common stock in accordance with the
Company's stock repurchase program.
The Company has a $6.0 million revolving credit agreement with the
Bank, which expires on November 1, 1999. There was $5.9 million outstanding
under the credit agreement at June 30, 1999. The Company also had $25.1
million outstanding on a term loan with the Bank at June 30, 1999.
Additionally, the Company had $1.0 million outstanding on a separate term
loan with Union Bank at June 30, 1999 which was repaid in July 1999.
Management believes that cash generated from its ongoing operations and
existing working capital will fund necessary capital expenditures and provide
adequate working capital for at least the next twelve months.
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.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE ISSUE
The Company is currently working to resolve the potential impact of the
Year 2000 problem on its computer systems and computerized equipment. The
Year 2000 problem is a result of computer programs having been written using
two rather than four digits to identify an applicable year. Any information
technology systems that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The problem also
extends to non-information technology systems that rely on embedded chip
systems.
The Company has divided the Year 2000 readiness task by the following
functional areas: IT infrastructure, business systems, operational systems,
facilities, and business partners. IT infrastructure includes the Company's
wide area networks, local area networks, servers, desktop computers, and
telephone systems. Business systems include mainframe and midrange computer
hardware and applications. Operational systems include equipment used for the
Company's day-to-day operations in the post-production business and editing
and graphics equipment. Facilities include fire, life, and safety equipment,
elevators and alarm systems. Business partners include suppliers and vendors,
financial
<PAGE>
institutions, benefit providers, payroll services, and customers. The Company
has appointed a task force chaired by its chief financial officer and
coordinated by its information systems director.
The Company has developed a four-phase approach to resolving the Year
2000 issues that are reasonably within its control. The four phases of the
program include inventory, assessment, remediation and testing, and
implementation. The inventory phase consists of a company wide inventory of
computer hardware, software, business applications, and operational and
facilities equipment. The inventory is then used to generate a master
assessment list and identify equipment vendors. The assessment phase consists
of identifying at-risk systems and products and ranking the products by
criticality to the business. Each product is then assigned to a task force
member to determine whether the product is in compliance and, if not, whether
the system should be upgraded or replaced. The remediation and testing phase
consists of developing a project plan, defining and implementing steps
required to bring the systems or products into compliance, defining a test
plan to verify compliance, and documenting the test results. The final phase
is implementing remediation on systems and products company wide.
The Company has been in the process of analyzing and upgrading its
information technology ("IT") systems (i.e., its IT infrastructure and
business systems) since early 1998, including upgrading all of its PC
hardware, operating systems, and office automation software. With respect to
the remaining IT systems, the Company has completed its inventory, assessment
and testing phases. With respect to non-IT systems, including operational
systems and facilities systems, the Company has completed its inventory phase
and anticipates completion of the assessment phase by August 31, 1999.
The Company anticipates completion of all phases of its compliance
program in both IT and non-IT systems by the end of the fourth quarter of
1999.
THIRD PARTIES. Like every other business, the Company is at risk from
potential Year 2000 failures on the part of its major business counterparts,
including suppliers, vendors, financial institutions, benefit providers,
payroll services, and clients, as well as potential failures in public and
private infrastructure services, including electricity, water,
transportation, and communications. The Company has initiated communications
with significant third party businesses to assess their efforts in addressing
Year 2000 issues and is in the process of determining the Company's
vulnerability if these third parties fail to remediate their Year 2000
problems. There can be no guarantee that the systems of third parties will be
timely remediated, or that such parties' failure to remediate Year 2000
issues would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
COSTS. Costs incurred to date in addressing the Year 2000 issue have
not been material and are being funded through operating cash flows. The
Company anticipates that it may incur significant costs associated with
replacing non-compliant systems and equipment. In addition, the Company
anticipates that it will incur additional costs in the form of redeployment
of internal resources from other activities. The Company does not expect
these redeployments to have a material adverse effect on other ongoing
business operations of the Company. Based upon the information currently
available to the Company, costs associated with addressing the Year 2000
issue are expected to be between $350,000 and $500,000.
RISKS. System failures resulting from the Year 2000 problem could
potentially affect operations and financial results in all aspects of the
Company's business. For example, failures could affect all aspects of the
Company's videotape duplication and distribution, post production and
ancillary operations, as well as inventory records, payroll operations,
security, billing, and collections. At this time the Company believes that
its most likely worst case scenario involves potential disruption in areas in
which the Company's operations must rely on third parties whose systems may
not work properly after January 1, 2000. As a result of Year 2000 related
failures of the Company's or third parties' systems, the Company could suffer
a reduction in its operations. Such a reduction may result in a fluctuation
in the price of the Company's common stock.
<PAGE>
CONTINGENCY PLAN. The Company does not currently have a comprehensive
contingency plan with respect to the Year 2000 problem. However, the Company
has created a task force comprised of financial and technical employees that
is prepared to address any Year 2000 issues as they arise. The Company will
continue to develop its contingency plan during 1999 as part of its ongoing
Year 2000 compliance effort.
