                      Independent Auditor's Report


Board of Directors
Visual Services, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Visual 
Services, Inc. and VSI-AA, L. L. C. (a limited liability company 
doing business as Advanced Animations) as of September 30, 1996 and 
the related combined statements of income, changes in stockholders? 
and members? equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These 
combined financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Companies? management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these combined financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 combined financial statement presentation.  We believe that 
our audit provides 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 Visual Services, Inc. and Advanced Animations at 
September 30, 1996 and the combined results of their operations and 
their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 -	NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)

Advanced Animations records revenue on display contracts on 
the basis of the Corporation?s estimates of the percentage 
of completion of individual contracts.  A percentage of 
completion of contract price determined by the ratio of 
incurred costs to total estimated costs is included in 
revenue and the incurred costs are charged against this 
revenue.  Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the 
course of the work are reflected in the accounting period 
in which the facts that require the revision become known. 
 At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire 
amount of the estimated ultimate loss is accrued.

Income Taxes - Visual Services, Inc. elected S Corporation 
status, effective April 1, 1989, under which income will be 
taxed to its stockholders.  Advanced Animations is a 
limited liability corporation whose income will be taxed to 
its members.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes 
has been made for the year ended September 30, 1996.

addition, the majority stockholder of Visual Services, 
Inc., through indirect ownership, held an 89 percent

investment in VSI Consulting, L.L.C. from 11 percent to 99

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 
revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual 
results could differ from those estimates.

Board of Directors
Visual Services


We have audited the combined financial statements of Visual 
Services, Inc. and VSI-AA, L. L. C. (doing business as Advanced 
Animations) for the year ended September 30, 1996.  Our audit was 
made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The information on page 14 
is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a 
required part of the combined financial statements.  Certain costs 
and revenue have been allocated between divisions based on 
estimates.  Although the methods of allocation used are considered 
appropriate, other methods could be used that would produce 
different amounts.  This information has been subjected to the 
procedures applied in the audit of the combined financial 
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material 
respects in relation to the combined financial statements taken as 
a whole.
