Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Total Technical Excellence, Inc.
("Company") conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to
general practices of contractor accounting. The following is a description
of the more significant of those policies.
Business
The Company was incorporated as a Subchapter S Corporation on February 20,
1989. The Company is a fabricator and supplier of scenery and provides
automated motion and show control equipment for the live entertainment
(theater, concert touring and special events), corporate events (trade and
industrial shows) and retail marketing environments. The Company provides
its services to corporate clients throughout the United States.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change relate to the recognition of contract revenue and
related costs.
Contract Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for
contract revenue. Under this method, revenue recognized is that percentage
of estimated total revenue that costs incurred to date bear to estimated
total costs. A provision is made for the entire amount of future estimated
losses (if any) on contracts in progress at the time such losses become
known. Amounts received in advance on sales, which exceed revenue
recognized to date, are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when
earned. Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of billings to date are
recorded as work in progress. No revenue is recognized on contracts which
have not progressed to a point where experience can be used to estimate
final results.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs, and those
indirect costs related to contract performance. Selling, general and
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability,
including those arising from contract penalty provisions, claims, and
final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income,
and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Credit Risk
Items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash on deposit with banks and accounts
receivable. The Company maintains deposit relationships exclusively with
high credit quality financial institutions. The Company's receivables
result primarily from the sale of special order fabricated scenery to a
large number of corporate clients throughout the United States. The
Company provides an allowance for doubtful receivables based on factors
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and
other information. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant
credit related losses.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation
which is computed using both accelerated and straight-line methods over
the estimated remaining useful lives of the respective assets.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while
major additions and improvements are capitalized. Upon disposition, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Income Taxes
Since February 20, 1989, the Company has operated as a Subchapter S
Corporation and is, therefore, not subject to federal, state and local
income taxes. Income taxes are payable by the individual shareholders of
the Company based on their respective shares of the Company's income and,
accordingly, have not been reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, deposits with banks, and certain highly liquid investments
purchased with a maturity of less than three months.
(2) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable at December 31, 1998, consist of the following:

(9) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Employee Benefit Plans
The Company maintains a qualified 401(k) plan and a qualified profit
sharing plan for the benefit of all eligible employees. The 401(k)
plan does not provide for employer matching contributions. The
Company's annual contribution to the profit sharing plan is determined
by the Board of Directors. The approved annual contribution for 1998
was $85,582.
(b) Contractual Commitments
The Company enters into various contractual commitments to deliver
products and services in the ordinary course of business. The Company
believes that all such contractual commitments will be met or
renegotiated and no material adverse financial impact will result from
these commitments
(10) Year 2000
The Year 2000 issue relates to limitations in computer systems and
applications that may prevent proper recognition of the Year 2000. The
potential effect of the Year 2000 issue on the Company and its business
partners will not be fully determinable until the Year 2000 and thereafter.
If the Year 2000 modifications are not properly completed by the Company or
entities with which the Company conducts business, the Company's revenues
and financial condition could be adversely impacted.
(11) Subsequent Events
On August 31, 1999, Production Resource Group, LLC ("PRG") acquired
substantially all of Company's assets and assumed substantially all of the
Company's liabilities. The assets acquired by PRG now operate as a division
