              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000,
the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the six month periods then ended have been prepared by the Company,
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist
solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial
position, results of operations and changes in cash flows for all periods
presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1999 annual report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $26,178,000, a decrease
of $3,311,000, or 11% over the same period of the prior year. This decrease
resulted primarily from CD-ROM manufacturing sales decreasing $2,689,000 to
$24,881,000 for the three months ended, or 10%. This decrease was primarily the
result of the Company's emphasis on higher margin product, and reduction in
lower margin sales. Radio syndication sales decreased $350,000, or 37%, to
$586,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of some
customers choosing to use CD-Recordable as a distribution method for smaller
size orders. DVD sales accounted for $456,000 during the three months ended June
30, 2000, as compared to $64,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $53,815,000, a decrease of
$6,741,000, or 11% over the same period of the prior year. This decrease
resulted primarily from CD-ROM manufacturing sales decreasing $5,628,000 to
$50,860,000 for the six months ended, or 10%. This decrease was primarily the
result of the Company's emphasis on higher margin product, and reduction in
lower margin sales, and, during early 2000, delayed software releases caused by
Y2K concerns and the anticipated release of Windows 2000. Radio syndication
sales decreased $498,000, to $1,428,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
a decrease of 26% from the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result
of some customers choosing to use CD-Recordable as a distribution method for
smaller size orders. The Company expects this trend to continue in the
foreseeable future. DVD sales accounted for $945,000 during the six months


                                  Page 8 of 12

<PAGE>   9


ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $193,000 for the same period in the prior
year.

Gross profit was 28% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to 26% of net sales for the same period of the prior year. This
increase was primarily attributed to the reduction in lower margin sales. Gross
profit was 29% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared
to 29% of net sales for the same period of the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $6,048,000, or 23% of
net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $7,791,000,
or 26% of net sales, for same period of the prior year. This expense reduction
was primarily attributed to restructuring and work force reductions which
occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. SG&A expenses were $13,035,000, or
24% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
$15,614,000, or 26% of net sales, for same period of the prior year. This
expense reduction was primarily attributed to restructuring and work force
reductions which occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Investment income was $10,000 and $8,000 for the three month periods ended June
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Investment income was $22,000 and $22,000 for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $1,152,000 as
compared to $688,000 for the same period of the prior year. Interest expense for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $2,208,000 as compared to $1,428,000 for
the same period of the prior year. The increase in interest expense was due to
increased borrowings under revolving loan and term loan facilities, as well as
increases in interest rates.

The income tax expense was $59,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, or
an effective tax rate of 46%, as compared to a tax benefit of $358,000 for the
same period of the prior year, or an effective tax benefit of 39%. The income
tax benefit was $77,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to a
tax expense of $302,000 for the same period of the prior year.

As a result of the foregoing, net earnings for the three months ended June 30,
2000 were $70,000, or net earnings per common share of $.01, as compared to net
losses in the same period of the prior year of $557,000, or net losses per
common share of $.09. Net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
$98,000, or net losses per common share of $.02, as compared to net earnings in
the same period of the prior year of $301,000, or net earnings per common share
of $.05.

FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company financed its business during the six months ended June 30, 2000
through cash generated from operations, the use of debt, and the use of
available cash balances. Cash flow from operating activities was $6,923,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $6,302,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $992,000 as of
June 30, 2000.

The Company has a term loan facility and a revolving loan facility (the "Credit
Facilities") with Huntington National Bank and Bank One, N.A. In March 2000, the
Credit Facilities were



                                  Page 9 of 12

<PAGE>   10
modified, with the revolving loan facility being reduced from $20,000,000 to
$13,000,000 and the term loan facility being increased to $21,250,000. As of
June 30, 2000, $10,100,000 was outstanding under the revolving loan facility.
The revolving loan facility is payable September 11, 2003, and the term loan
facility matures on June 30, 2003. The following is a summary of the other terms
of the Credit Facilities. The term loan facility is payable in monthly principal
payments which escalate over the term of the loan. The term loan facility and a
portion of the revolving loan facility were used to finance the purchase of the
assets of the CD-ROM services business acquired from Imation Corporation.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Company's option,
at either the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or prime rate plus the
alternative base rate margin (whichever of the two is higher), or the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin based upon the Company's debt
coverage ratio (which ranges from not less than 100 basis points to not more
than 325 basis points). The Credit Facilities are secured by a first lien on all
non-real estate business assets of the Company and a pledge of the stock of the
Company's subsidiaries. The Company is required to comply with certain financial
and other covenants. The Company is currently not in compliance with one of its
financial covenants, and the bank has waived compliance with this covenant
through June 30, 2000. The banks have agreed to modify the financial covenants.
The Company anticipates being in compliance with the amended covenants through
the remainder of 2000.

The Company has a $19,000,000 loan facility with Huntington Capital Corp which
is payable in monthly principal and interest payments based upon a thirty year
amortization schedule and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.2%. This term loan
facility was used to permanently finance the Company's new Dublin, Ohio
distribution center and to pay down other bank debt. This loan facility is
payable in monthly installments over 10 years, with a 30 year amortization
period, and is secured by a first lien on all real property of the Company and
letters of credit in favor of the lender, in an aggregate amount of $1,650,000.

Management believes that current cash balances, plus the funds available under
its current credit facilities, plus cash to be generated from future operations
should provide sufficient capital to meet the current business needs of the
Company for the foreseeable future.
