To the Shareholders of
  Video Symphony, Inc, and Affiliate


     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Video Symphony,
Inc, and Affiliate (referred to as the "Company"), as identified in Note 1 to
the Notes to Combined Financial Statements as of December 31, 1995, 1996 and
1997, and the related combined statements of operations, equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997.  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 combined financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined 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 combined financial position of Video
Symphony, Inc. and Affiliate as of December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, and the
results of their combined operations and their combined cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                       VIDEO SYMPHONY, INC. AND AFFILIATE

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                        

1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying combined financial statements consist of Video Symphony,
Inc., a California S-Corporation, and Digital Doctors, Inc., a California S-
Corporation.  These entities are collectively referred to as Video Symphony,
Inc. and Affiliate (the "Company").

     The accompanying combined financial statements have been presented on a
combined basis due to common ownership and business. The combination was
accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interest. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The combination
excludes a certain entity under common ownership or control of the shareholders,
since it engages in unrelated business lines and will not be subject to
acquisition noted herein.

     The Company was formed in 1995 as one partnership between Mike Flanagan,
Greg Howard and Eugene Huang.  The Company is in the business of renting and
selling computer video editing equipment, primarily to the television and motion
picture industry.  On July 1, 1996, the Company repurchased the partnership
interest from Eugene Huang for $435,000.  Effective December 1, 1996, both
companies combined herein were incorporated under the laws of the State of
California.  All shareholders of the Company have equal percentages of ownership
in both entities combined herein.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is earned through rental and sales of
     -------------------                                                
equipment. Equipment rentals are accounted for as short-term operating leases
and revenues are recorded as earned under the terms of the rental or leasing
contract. Revenues from equipment sales are recognized when a product is
shipped.

     Property and Equipment.  Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are
     ----------------------                                                     
recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized while
maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

     Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation of property and equipment is
     -----------------------------                                            
computed by use of the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life
of 5 years of the respective assets, except for leasehold improvements, which
are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the improvement or
the length of the lease, whichever is shorter.  When properties are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to
operations.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

     Income Taxes.  Effective December 1, 1996, the Company converted to an S-
     -------------                                                           
Corporation for income tax purposes.  As a result of S-Corporation status, the
Company is not subject to federal income tax at the corporate level, and
California state franchise taxes are assessed at a rate of 1.5%, and are
included in the provision for income taxes in the Company's statements of
operations.

     Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     -----------------                                                       
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions for the reporting period and as of the financial
statement date.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

     Fair Value.  In accordance with the reporting requirements of Statement of
     -----------                                                               
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments," the Company calculates the fair value of financial
instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the
combined financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying
value of those financial instruments.  When the fair value reasonably
approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made.

     Advertising.  The Company reports the costs of all advertising as expenses
     -----------                                                               
in the periods in which those costs are incurred.  Advertising expense was $0,
$2,440 and $31,143 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

3.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivable.  The Company places its cash with high-credit, quality institutions
which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to
$100,000.  At December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company had no accounts with
any lending institution in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC.

3.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK, CONTINUED

     The Company grants credit to its customers, substantially all of whom are
in the entertainment industry.  Credit risk with respect to trade accounts
receivable is generally diversified due to the large number of entities
comprising the Company's customer base.  The Company controls credit risk
through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.  Credit is
extended based on an evaluation of each customer's financial condition, and
generally collateral is not required.  The Company did not have any customers or
group of customers which accounted for a significant amount of revenues for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.

9.  RELATED PARTIES, CONTINUED

     The Company entered into an operating lease for facilities and certain
capital leases for equipment on behalf of VSE.  The facility and the equipment
under the capital leases are used solely by VSE and the Company does not
recognize any sublease income from VSE.  Rent expense for facilities and the
capital lease assets and obligations and associated amortization and interest
expense are not included in the combined financial statements of the Company.
In addition, the Company funded certain operational expenses and repayments of
capital lease obligations of VSE.  As a result, at December 31, 1995, 1996 and
1997, the Company has receivables form VSE totaling $0, $601,269 and $1,327,957,
respectively.  The shareholders of the Company have personally guaranteed the
receivables from VSE.  The receivable amounts from VSE in each of the years are
shown in the statement of equity as receivables from the shareholders of the
Company, as it is uncertain whether VSE will have the ability to repay such
receivables.


10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     In December 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Four Media
Company ("4MC") whereby 4MC will acquire the business operations, certain assets
and assume certain liabilities of the Company.  The acquisition will be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and is expected to be
completed during the second quarter of 1998.

                               FOUR MEDIA COMPANY
        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                        

     On May 4, 1998, Four Media Company ("4MC") through its wholly owned
subsidiary VSDD Acquisition Corp., acquired all of the outstanding ownership
interests in Symphonic Video LLC and Digital Doctors LLC from their parent
companies Video Symphony, Inc. and Digital Doctors, Inc. (collectively "VSI").
In this transaction, 4MC effectively acquired all of the operations of VSI.  The
purchase price totaled approximately $3.1 million paid in 4MC common stock.

     On February 2, 1998, 4MC acquired all the outstanding shares of capital
stock of Visualize, a California corporation d/b/a Pacific Ocean Post ("POP").
The purchase price of the shares was $26.4 million of which $23.3 million was
paid in cash, and $3.1 million is represented by promissory notes.  Additional
adjustment contingent on and related to the amounts of tax refunds or payments
may become due upon realization.  Substantially all of the cash was provided by
4MC's new $200 million credit facility.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 3, 1998
gives effect to the VSI acquisition as if it had occurred on May 3, 1998.  The
4MC historical balance sheet at May 3, 1998 includes the balance sheet of POP.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the year ended August 3, 1997 and for the nine months ended May 3, 1998 give
effect to the VSI and POP acquisitions as if they had occurred on August 5,
1996.  The 4MC historical statement of operations for the nine months ended May
3, 1998 includes the results of POP from the February 2, 1998 acquisition date.

     The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase accounting method
and, accordingly, the purchase price of each transaction will be allocated to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market value of
such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.  The unaudited condensed
pro forma balance sheet and results of operations are based on available
information and certain assumptions regarding the allocation of purchase price,
which could change significantly based on the realizable value of certain
assets, the potential to incur additional transaction related costs, and other
analyses.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements may not
be indicative of actual results which would have been obtained if the
acquisitions had been completed and in effect for the periods indicated, nor of
the results that may be obtained in the future.

    debt facility at average interest rate of 8.10%.
