THE TODD-AO CORPORATION
- -----------------------

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1995
(Dollars in Thousands, except per share amounts)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If complete notes were to accompany these statements they would be substantially
in the same form as those to the Company's Financial Statements for the Year
Ended August 31, 1994.  In addition the following notes are applicable:

1.       In the opinion of management for the Company, all adjustments (which
         comprise only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
         presentation of the results of operations have been included.

2.       The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its
         wholly owned subsidiaries Todd-AO Studios East, Inc. ("Todd-AO East"),
         Todd-AO Productions, Inc., Todd-AO Digital Images, Inc. ("TDI"),
         Todd-AO Video Services, Inc. ("TVS"), Todd-AO Studios West ("TSW"),
         Todd-AO Europe Holding Co., Ltd. ("TAO Europe") and Chrysalis/Todd-AO
         Europe, Ltd. ("CTAO").  All significant intercompany balances and
         transactions have been eliminated.

3.       Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average
         number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding including
         common share equivalents arising from the assumed conversion of any
         outstanding dilutive stock options.

4.       The Company is an investor in QSound Labs, Inc. ("QSound"), formerly
         Archer Communications, Inc., which engages in the development and
         licensing of a sound imaging audio technology known as QSound.
         QSound's principal facilities are located in Calgary, Alberta (Canada)
         and its shares are listed on the Vancouver and Toronto Stock Exchanges
         and are traded over NASDAQ.

         As of May 31, 1995, the Company owned 306,500 QSound shares.  On May
         31, 1995, the closing QSound NASDAQ stock price was $3.3125.

5.       During 1992, Todd-AO Productions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
         the Company, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Trans-Atlantic
         Enterprises, Inc., for the development of motion picture and television
         projects.  Todd-AO Productions and the Venture are each distinct from
         the Company's sound studio operations.  The Joint Venture Agreement was
         extended and amended in October 1993 and in September 1994.  In
         accordance with the amendments, the Development Phase of the Venture
         expired on October 31, 1994 and the Venture's entertainment projects
         (which consist primarily of rights to scripts and screenplays) were
         divided between Todd-AO Productions and TAE, which are now each
         entitled to independently exploit their respective projects (the
         "Todd-AO Projects" and the "TAE Projects").  Dissolution of the Venture
         is being finalized.

         Todd-AO Productions is entitled to recoup its capital contributions
         from 50% of any compensation received by TAE or its affiliates from
         exploitation of the TAE projects, and is deemed to have recouped its
         capital contributions to the extent of 50% of any compensation received
         by Todd-AO Productions or its affiliates from the Todd-AO projects.
         Todd-AO Productions and TAE also have a 25% interest in the net profits


                                        8

<PAGE>

         of each other's designated projects.  Through May 31, 1995 Todd-AO
         Productions had contributed $2,426 in cash and services to the Venture.
         The Company is accounting for this investment under the equity method
         of accounting as they do not control either voting or financial
         rights. Although negotiations continue there are no binding
         agreements in effect with respect to the commercial exploitation
         of any Todd-AO Project or, to the Company's best knowledge, any
         TAE Project.

         The following represents condensed financial information of the
         Todd-AO/TAE joint venture as of and for the nine months ended May 31,
         1995 and 1994.

6.       On August 31, 1994, TVS (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company)
         acquired certain of the assets and liabilities of Film Video Masters
         ("Paskal").  TVS provides post production video services to the film
         and television industries.  In consideration of the purchase, TVS paid
         Paskal $1,150 in cash and issued a note in the amount of $750.

         On February 15, 1995, TSW (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company)
         acquired substantially all of the property, equipment and inventory of
         Kaytea Rose, Inc. (dba Skywalker Sound South)("SSS").  TSW provides
         post production sound services to the film and television industries.
         In consideration of the purchase, TSW paid $6,878 in cash.  TSW is
         included in the Company's results of operations from February 1995.

         On March 16, 1995 TAO Europe (formerly FCB 1120, Ltd.)(a wholly owned
         subsidiary of the Company) acquired all of the outstanding shares of
         CTAO (formerly Chrysalis Television Facilities, Ltd.) from Chrysalis
         Holdings Ltd. ("CHL").  TAO Europe, CTAO and CHL are all corporations
         organized under the laws of the United Kingdom and headquartered in
         London.  CTAO specializes in the collation of television programming
         for satellite broadcast and also provides post production video and
         other services to a variety of clients.  In consideration of the
         purchase, TAO Europe paid CHL $1,966 in cash at closing and issued a
         note in the amount of $1,360.  An additional cash settlement of
         approximately $211 was paid in June 1995.  Concurrently with the
         acquisition, TAO Europe advanced and paid on behalf of CTAO its
         intercompany debt to CHL in the amount of $4,585.  Subsequent to the
         acquisition, TAO Europe advanced and paid on behalf of CTAO other debt
         in the amount of $1,336.  TAO Europe and CTAO consolidated are
         included in the Company's results of operations from March 1995.

         The acquisitions are being accounted for under the purchase method of
         accounting.  The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
         information is presented as if the acquisitions had occurred on
         September 1, 1993.  Pro forma adjustments for TVS for 1994 are
         primarily to depreciation expense relating to the acquisition of
         assets, interest expense on issued debt and income taxes.  Pro forma
         adjustments for TSW for 1994 and 1995 are primarily to operating
         expenses related to non-applicable allocations made by the parent
         corporation of SSS, depreciation expense relating to the acquisition of
         assets, interest expense on borrowings in connection with the
         acquisition and income taxes.  Pro forma adjustments for TAO Europe for
         1994 and 1995 are primarily to depreciation expense relating to
         allocation of the purchase price, interest expense on borrowings in
         connection with the acquisition and income taxes.

7.       In December 1994 the Company signed an agreement with its bank to
         implement a lease intended as security (sale/leaseback of certain
         equipment) in the amount of $15,000.  The agreement terminates on
         December 30, 1999 and is being treated as an operating lease for
         financial statement purposes.  On December 30, 1994 an aggregate of
         $11,218 was sold and leased back.  The total deferred gain on the
         transaction to be amortized over five years is $7,345.  The annual
         lease cost is expected to be approximately $2,400.

         The net equipment lease expense for the period ended May 31, 1995 is as

8.       The Company has a stock repurchase program under which 1,300,000 shares
         may be purchased from time to time in the open market or in private
         transactions.  As of May 31, 1995, 726,954 shares had been repurchased.
         All of these shares have been cancelled and returned to authorized but
         unissued status.

9.       The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         ("SFAS") No. 115 which must be applied for fiscal years beginning after
         December 15, 1993.  SFAS No. 115 addresses the accounting and reporting
         for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable
         fair values and for all investments in debt securities.  Management has
         classified these investments as available for sale.

10.      During April and May 1995 the Company, with the approval of the Stock
         Option/SAR Committee, implemented a program to encourage the holders of
         Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") under the 1991 Stock Appreciation
         Rights Plan (the "1991 SAR Plan") to exchange their SARs for stock
         options.  Under accounting rules applicable to SAR Plans, the potential
         cash liability for the unexercised portion of SAR awards must be taken
         into account in determining earnings, which accordingly are affected by
         fluctuations in the market value of the Class A Stock.  Stock option
         plans do not involve a cash liability to the Company and changes in the
         market value of the underlying stock do not affect earnings.

         Of the 373,400 SARs outstanding under the 1991 Plan, all but 10,000
         were exercised, resulting in a cash payment of $579.  An aggregate of
         275,788 incentive stock options and 75,112 nonqualified stock options
         were issued at exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $5.625.  The total
         number of options issued is less than the number of SARs exercised
         because of employee terminations.

         Under the program, each SAR holder who exercised the vested portion of
         a SAR award during the April-May window period was entitled to exchange
         the entire SAR award for a replacement stock option under the 1995
         Stock Option Plan.  The replacement options were issued at exercise
         prices equal to the fair market value of the Class A stock on the
         respective dates of the SAR exercises, with an expiration date of
         August 31, 2004 (instead of the August 31, 2000 expiration date
         applicable to SAR awards) and with vesting restrictions no more
         favorable to the holder than those applicable to the exchanged SAR.
         The effect of the exchange was to preserve the appreciation potential
         of the SAR award but with a longer exercise period and, in the case of
         incentive stock options, potentially more favorable income tax
         treatment to the holder.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations.

1.       Material Changes in Financial Condition

         In December 1994 the Company signed agreements with its bank to
         implement a lease intended as security (sale/leaseback of certain
         equipment) and a new long-term revolving and term loan credit agreement
         in amounts of $15,000 and $10,000 respectively.  In March 1995 the
         Company signed an amendment to the long-term revolving and term loan
         credit agreement increasing the amount by $8,000.  The sale/leaseback
         agreement terminates on December 30, 1999.  An aggregate of $11,218 was
         sold and leased back on December 30, 1994.  Under the new credit
         agreement, the Company may borrow up to $18,000 in revolving loans
         until November 30, 1997 when all revolving loans become term loans for
         the remainder of the agreement which expires November 30, 2000.  These
         credit facilities are available for general corporate purposes, capital
         expenditures and acquisitions.  Management believes that the proceeds
         from the sale/leaseback and the borrowings available under the new
         credit facility will be sufficient to meet the needs of the Company for
         the foreseeable future.

         In February 1995 the Company used $6,878 of the proceeds from the
         sale/leaseback agreement to acquire substantially all of the property,
         equipment and inventory of Skywalker Sound South.

         In March 1995 the Company used $7,726 under the credit agreement in
         connection with the acquisition of Chrysalis Television Facilities Ltd.


         In addition to the above, the Company expects capital expenditures of
         approximately $2,511 for its Los Angeles, New York City and London
         facilities in fiscal 1995.  These capital expenditures will be financed
         by bank leasing and credit facilities and by internally generated
         funds.

         As of May 31, 1995 the Company has $7,726 outstanding under the credit
         agreement.

2.       Material Changes in Results of Operations

         YEAR-TO-DATE

         Total revenues increased 42.8% ($11,125) and operating costs and
         expenses increased 46.4% ($9,318).

         SOUND SERVICES:

         Sound studio revenues in California and New York increased $2,935.
         Revenue increases due to the inclusion of the Santa Monica and West Los
         Angeles studios of Todd-AO Studios West ("TSW")($5,282) beginning in
         February 1995 were offset by revenue decreases at the Los Angeles and
         New York studios due primarily to decreases in feature film dubbing
         bookings.  A threatened strike in Los Angeles during 1994 accelerated
         major feature film product which resulted in scheduling irregularities
         through December 1994.  In addition, one feature film stage was closed
         for remodelling through early January 1995.

         Sound studio operating costs and expenses increased $3,208 due to the
         inclusion of TSW beginning in February 1995.  In addition, sound studio


                                       12

<PAGE>

         operating costs and expenses related to the revenue decreases described
         above increased $490 due to union contract increases.

         VIDEO SERVICES:

         Revenues increased $8,211 due to the inclusion of Todd-AO Video
         Services ("TVS")($4,716), Todd-AO Digital Images ("TDI")($1,002) and
         Chrysalis/Todd-AO Europe, Ltd. ("CTAO")($2,493) in the current year.
         TVS, which acquired certain assets and liabilities of Film Video
         Masters, Inc. on August 31, 1994, provides post production video
         services to the film and television industries.  TDI, which was formed
         in the latter half of fiscal 1994, provides computer graphics services
         to the same industries.  Todd-AO Europe Holding Co., Ltd., a wholly
         owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding shares
         of CTAO in March 1995.  Both corporations are based in London and
         organized under the laws of the United Kingdom.  CTAO specializes in
         the collation of television programming for satellite broadcast and
         also provides post production video services.

         Increases in operating costs and expenses attributable to TVS, TDI and
         CTAO were $5,641.

         CORPORATE:

         Depreciation and amortization increased 59.6% ($1,126) due to the
         inclusion of TSW, TVS, TDI and CTAO in the current year.

         Equipment lease expense net of gain on sale of equipment in connection
         with a sale/leaseback agreement entered into on December 30 with the
         Company's institutional lender is $371 and interest expense primarily
         due to borrowings in connection with the acquisition of CTAO is $320.

         A net decrease in other income of $447 is primarily due to the
         following:  A $214 increase due to the Company's stock appreciation
         rights exchange program; a $228 increase in dividend and investment
         income primarily due to investing activities in connection with the
         proceeds from the sale/leaseback agreement; current year research and
         development costs ($281) and non-recurring severance costs ($122); and
         a decrease of $486 due to gains on sales of investments in the prior
         year.

         Losses from the Company's entertainment project development joint
         venture decreased $680 primarily due to the termination of the
         development phase of the venture in the current year.

         As a result of the above, income before taxes increased $230.  Net
         income increased $366 which includes the reversal of a $100 provision
         made for contested 1983-86 California Franchise Taxes for which, in the
         Company's judgement, there is no ongoing liability.

         CURRENT QUARTER

         Total revenues increased 91.4% ($8,736) and operating costs and
         expenses increased 82.3% ($5,812).

         SOUND SERVICES:

         Sound studio revenues in California and New York increased $4,383.
         Revenue increases due to the inclusion of the Santa Monica and West Los


                                       13

<PAGE>

         Angeles studios of Todd-AO Studios West ("TSW")($4,214) were augmented
         by revenue increases at the Los Angeles and New York studios.

         Sound studio operating costs and expenses increased $2,875 primarily
         due to the inclusion of TSW.

         VIDEO SERVICES:

         Revenues increased $4,663 due to the inclusion of Todd-AO Video
         Services ("TVS")($1,674), Todd-AO Digital Images ("TDI")($496) and
         Chrysalis/Todd-AO Europe, Ltd. ("CTAO")($2,493) in the current year.
         Todd-AO Europe Holding Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
         Company, acquired all of the outstanding shares of CTAO in March 1995.
         Both corporations are based in London and organized under the laws of
         the United Kingdom.  CTAO specializes in the collation of television
         programming for satellite broadcast and also provides post production
         video services.

         Increases in operating costs and expenses attributable to TVS, TDI and
         CTAO were $2,823.

         CORPORATE:

         Depreciation and amortization increased 120.5% ($789) due to the
         inclusion of TSW, TVS, TDI and CTAO in the current year.

         Equipment lease expense net of gain on sale of equipment in connection
         with a sale/leaseback agreement entered into on December 30 with the
         Company's institutional lender is $222 and interest expense primarily
         due to borrowings in connection with the acquisition of CTAO is $220.

         A net increase in other income of $184 is due primarily to an increase
         in dividend and investment income from investing activities in
         connection with the proceeds from the sale/leaseback agreement and a
         $40 increase due to the Company's stock appreciation rights exchange
         program.

         Losses from the Company's entertainment project development joint
         venture decreased $222 primarily due to the termination of the
         development phase of the venture in the current year.

         As a result of the above, income before taxes increased $2,106 and net
         income increased $1,341.
