Vispac, Inc., Visual Services, Inc., PSG International, Inc.,
BKNT Retail Stores, Inc., JD Dash, Inc., and BKNT, Inc.  Intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company effected mergers
with three affiliated companies by exchanges of stock for stock held by
affiliated stockholders.  Prior to the mergers, the Company and the
affiliated companies were all controlled by Mr. Steve Toth, Jr.
and his family.  These transactions were treated as a merger of
affiliated entities under common control, accounted for similar to a
pooling of interests and have been applied retroactively.  The merger
transactions are summarized as follows:

        .  On February 1, 1997, the Company acquired all
           outstanding shares of Advanced Animations, Inc.
           in exchange for 7,563,077 shares of the Company's
           common stock.  Visual Services, Inc. was the
           majority stockholder of Advanced Animations, Inc.

        .  On March 1, 1997, the women's retail apparel 
           operations of the Company were transferred into
           BKNT Retail Stores, Inc.

        .  On July 1, 1997, the Company, renamed VSI 
           Holdings, Inc., acquired all outstanding shares
           of Vispac, Inc. in exchange for 6,200,000 shares
           of the Company's common stock.

        .  On September 30, 1997, VSI Holdings, Inc. 
           exchanged 20,938,198 shares of its common stock
           for the outstanding shares of Visual Services, 
           Inc.; the 6,652,483 shares of VSI Holdings, Inc. 
           stock acquired by Visual Services, Inc. in the 
           Advanced Animations, Inc. merger were returned 
           to treasury stock.

As of March 31, 1998, the Company has 32,937,740 shares of outstanding,
excluding 7,743,605 shares of Treasury Stock.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders

The Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held April 8, 1998.
At the Meeting, shareholders approved the election of the Board of Directors,
the 1997 Restricted Stock Plan, and the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

In their reports to shareholders, management expects pre-tax income to
increase approximately 23 percent and revenues to increase 10 percent for
the current fiscal year ending September 30, 1998.  These growth rates are
projected to produce revenue of $163,000,000 and pre-tax income of
$11,500,000.  For the prior year, the Company had revenue of $148,000,000
and pre-tax income of $9,383,000.  Basic and Diluted proforma earnings per
share for 1998 are estimated to be approximately $.23 per share compared to
$.19 for 1997.

The Company attributes much of its projected growth to new business booked
to build during March 1998.  Significant projects include expansion of its
training programs for nearly 11,000 Ford Motor Co. dealership personnel as
well as a new training initiative for Jaguar, developing and implementing an
integrated customer dialogue program for Volvo and producing a large-scale
animatronic exhibit for a new resort attraction planned to open in Branson,
Missouri in 2000.

Management also reported that discussions had started that may result in the
sale of its retail women's apparel stores.  The retail stores had revenues
of $17,722,000 and a loss from operations of ($491,000) for the year ended
September 30, 1997.  The anticipated operating results of the retail stores
for 1998 are included in management's projections of 1998 results.

Stock Granted 

In November, 1997, the Company issued options to employees for 302,000 shares
of the Company's common stock.  One-half of the options are exercisable two
years from the date of grant, with the remaining options exercisable three
years from the date of grant.  The options have an exercise price of $6.20
and expire five years from the date of grant.

In December 1997, the Company granted approximately 426,000 shares of the
Company's common stock to employees as compensation pursuant to the Company's
Restricted Stock Plan.

Purchase of Performance Systems Group - The Company entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire the assets of Performance Systems Group for
approximately $5.1 million, consisting of 280,000 shares of the Company's
common stock and $3 million in cash.  Additional contingent consideration
of $900,000 may be due based on future earnings of the purchased business.
Performance Systems Group provides in-field consulting and change process
sustainment services primarily to automobile dealerships.  The acquisition
was accounted for under the purchase method, resulting in Goodwill of
$4,485,000.

Visual Services, Inc. on February 1, 1998 established the wholly-owned
subsidiary PSG International, Inc. ("PSGII") as the operating entity for
the acquisition.  Branches are being established in Canada, Mexico, Australia,
New Zealand, and Taiwan to facilitate the Company's operations outside of the
United States.  Accordingly, the quarter ended March 31, 1998 does include
the results of two months of PSGII operations.

Credit Line Established

Effective January 31, 1998, the Company completed the loan agreement for the
new Bank line of credit.  The Bank line of credit permits borrowings up to
$30,000,000 based on a fixed base plus a percentage of receivables at the
Bank's prime rate (8.5% at March 14, 1998) or a fixed rate equal to LIBOR
plus 1.5%.  The line is collateralized by all the assets of the Company.
The loan agreements contain certain covenants that require that, among
other things, the Company maintains certain levels of net worth, current
ratio and working capital and that the ratio of total liabilities to net
worth, and debt service ratio do not exceed certain amounts.  As of
March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $10,000,000 available to
borrow.  The Bank line of credit expires January 30, 1999.

Call Center Operational

The Company has relocated its Dialogue Marketing operation to its new
45,000 gross sq. ft. 440 station call center in Livonia, Michigan, acquired
in December 1997.  The facility supports integrating marketing programs and
receives more than 90% of its call volume inbound.

OPERATING RESULTS:

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $43,055,000 compared to

March 31, 1997 includes a pro forma provision for income taxes.  All income
prior to the mergers was taxed to their shareholders.  As of the date of the
mergers, these subsidiaries elected C Corporation status and will be included
in the consolidated tax returns of the Company.

For the six months, net income was $4,531,000 compared to pro forma net
income of  $2,972,000 last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company's working capital, cash position, and credit availability remain
adequate to maintain current and future operating levels.  The Company's
working capital at the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $4,858,000 and
at year ended September 30, 1997 was ($1,969,000) giving effect to
$20,659,000 in declared distributions to shareholders that had previously
been included as equity prior to the mergers.

To provide funds for future acquisitions and other corporate purposes,
the Company is considering a future public stock offering, or an expansion
of its credit facility to include some additional long-term borrowings.

During the second quarter, the Company settled the declared distributions
to shareholders of $20,659,000 by utilizing existing working capital and
the bank credit line.  A related party shareholder, who received a portion
of the distributions, satisfied a note receivable of $11,103,000 plus
interest.  The Company paid $92,000 and executed subordinated notes payable
of $9,313,000 in settlement of the remainder of the declared distributions.
