Addendum III.

To the Stockholders of
Production Arts Lighting, Inc. and Affiliates

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Production Arts
Lighting, Inc., and Affiliates as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and the
related combined statements of income, retained earnings 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 did
not audit the 1997 financial statements of Production Arts Europe, Inc., which
statements reflect total assets of $1,265,185 as of December 31, 1997 and
total operating revenues of $822,988 for the year then ended. Those statements
were audited by chartered accountants in England whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included
for Production Arts Europe, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and for the year then
ended, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined financial position of Production Arts Lighting, Inc.
and Affiliates as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and the combined
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                         MANGINI & COMPANY, P.C.

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements
                       December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Combination

The combined financial statements include the accounts of Production Arts
Lighting, Inc. (the Company) and its affiliates, Production Arts Lighting
West, Inc. (Lighting West) and Production Arts Europe, Inc. (Europe) (the
Companies), all of which are owned by the same shareholders. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination.

Nature of Operation

The Companies rent, design and sell custom lighting systems and equipment and
sell accessories and used equipment to the theatre industry. Significantly all
of the accounts receivable are from theatre companies throughout the United
States and Western Europe.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost,
determined by specific identification, or market.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed by
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss
is recognized in the period.

Income Recognition

The Company leases its equipment to theatre companies under operating leases
with terms of up to one year. Accordingly, income is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease.

Gain on sales of used rental equipment is included in operating revenues.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the companies consider all liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Advertising

The Companies expense advertising costs as incurred in accordance with the
provisions of SOP 93-7. Advertising costs for the years 1997, 1996 and 1995
totaled $500,895, $245,743 and $332,587, respectively.

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements
                       December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


Foreign Operations

Production Arts Europe, Inc. maintains its books and records in British
pounds. The accounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot rate as
of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted average
exchange rate for revenues and expenses. The resulting translation adjustment
is reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company and its European affiliate enter into transactions for the
purchase of equipment and other production expenses denominated in foreign
currencies. The Company records the transaction in the appropriate functional
currency (U.S. dollars or British pounds) on the transaction date. Changes in
exchange rates from the transaction date to the payment date result in foreign
currency gain or loss which is included in other income (expenses) in the
accompanying Statements of Income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
financial statement dates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note B - Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent accounts at a national bank and
at the bank's U.K. affiliate. The U.S. accounts are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. The total amount of
uninsured balance as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $720,473,
$619,821 and $330,204, respectively.

Note C - Property and Equipment

Major classifications and estimated useful lives of property and equipment are
as follows:

                                           1997          1996          1995

                                       -----------   -----------   -----------

                                       $16,618,090   $13,550,879   $12,907,771
                                       ===========   ===========   ===========

Substantially all of the property and equipment is pledged as collateral for
notes payable.

Depreciation and amortization charged to expense in 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
$1,501,291, $1,192,994 and $892,223, respectively.

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements
                       December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


The Company is the beneficiary of insurance policies on the lives of its
president, vice president (who own all of the stock of the companies) and a
former stockholder, bearing face value amounts of $1,960,000, $590,000 and
$650,000, respectively, as of December 31, 1997. The life insurance contracts
are accompanied by mandatory stock purchase agreements. In the event of the
insured's death, the "purchase price" of the stock will, by previous action,
be established. The insured's estate will be obligated to sell, and the
Company will be obligated to purchase the insured's stock up to, but not in
excess of the purchase price. In the event that the insurance proceeds shall
be less than the purchase price, the balance thereof shall be paid by the
Company in five equal annual installments, the first such installment to be
due on the anniversary of death, provided that any insurance proceeds received
subsequent to said closing shall be immediately applied against the
installment(s) first coming due. The purpose is to protect the Company against
an abrupt change in ownership or management.

At December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 notes payable to the insurance company in
the amounts of $360,905, $345,349 and $328,732, respectively, were
collateralized by the cash value of the policies.
