THE TODD-AO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 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") and Todd-AO Studios West ("TSW").  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 February 28, 1995, the Company owned 306,500 QSound shares.  On
     February 28, 1995, the closing QSound NASDAQ stock price was $3.0625.

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 of each
     other's designated projects.  Through February 28, 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.

     The following represents condensed financial information of the Todd-AO/TAE
     joint venture as of and for the six months ended February 28, 1995 and

     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.

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 February 28, 1995 is
     as follows:

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 February 28, 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.  On March 16, 1995, FCB 1120, Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the
     Company)("FCB") acquired all of the outstanding shares of Chrysalis
     Television Facilities Ltd. ("CTV") from Chrysalis Holdings Ltd ("CHL").
     FCB, CTV and CHL are all corporations organized under the laws of the
     United Kingdom and headquartered in London.  The transaction has been
     accounted for as a purchase and the acquisition price was equal to the sum
     of: (i) $1,966 (paid at closing); (ii) an amount equal to CTV's net asset
     value as at February 28, 1995 less $240 (expected to be approximately
     $1,360) payable $480 on each of the first and second anniversaries and $400
     on the third anniversary of the completion date (March 16, 1995), with
     interest on the unpaid balance at the National Westminster Bank base rate
     plus 1 1/2%.  Any difference between CTV's net asset value (less $240) and
     $1,360 will be settled after the closing when the net asset value is
     determined.  Concurrently with the acquisition, FCB advanced and paid on
     behalf of CTV its intercompany debt in the amount of $4,585.  FCB's
     obligations have been guaranteed by the Company.

     Subsequent to the acquisition, FCB advanced and paid on behalf of CTV debt
     due to the Bank of Scotland in the amount of $1,336.

     CTV specializes in the collation of television programming for satellite
     broadcast in Europe and also provides post production video and other
     services to a variety of clients.  It is anticipated that CTV will be
     renamed "Chrysalis/Todd-AO Europe Ltd." and FCB will be renamed "Todd-AO
     Europe Holding Company Ltd.".

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 $3,700 for its Los Angeles and New York City facilities in
     fiscal 1995.  These capital expenditures will be financed by bank leasing
     and credit facilities and by internally generated funds.

     As of February 28, 1995 the Company has $600 outstanding under the credit
     agreement.

2.   Material Changes in Results of Operations

     YEAR-TO-DATE

     Total revenues increased 14.5% ($2,389) and operating costs and expenses
     increased 28.3% ($3,649).

     SOUND SERVICES:

     Sound studio revenues in California and New York decreased $1,148.  Revenue
     increases due to the inclusion of the Santa Monica and West Los Angeles
     Studios of Todd-AO Studios West ("TSW") ($1,068) 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 and a different
     customer mix reflecting productions with limited budgets.  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 $776 due to the
     inclusion of TSW beginning in February 1995.  In addition, sound studio

                                       11


<PAGE>

     operating costs and expenses related to the revenue decreases described
     above increased $45 primarily due to union contract increases.

     VIDEO SERVICES:

     Revenues increased $3,548 due to the inclusion of Todd-AO Video Services
     ("TVS") ($3,042) and Todd-AO Digital Images ("TDI") ($506) 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 visual effects services to the same
     industries.

     Operating costs and expenses for TVS and TDI were $2,818.

     CORPORATE:

     Depreciation and amortization increased 27.3% ($337) due to the inclusion
     of TVS, TDI and TSW in the current year.

     Equipment lease expense net of amortization of deferred gain on sale of
     equipment in connection with a sale/leaseback agreement entered into on
     December 30, 1994 with the Company's institutional lender is $149.

     A net decrease in other income of $488 is primarily due to the following: a
     $174 increase due to stock appreciation rights provision adjustments
     related to fluctuations in the Company's stock price; a $130 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 ($122) and non-recurring severance
     costs ($121); and a decrease of $529 due to gains on sales of investments
     in the prior year.

     Losses from the Company's entertainment project development joint venture
     decreased $458 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 decreased $1,876.  Net income
     decreased $975 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 34.6% ($2,586) and operating costs and expenses
     increased 33.5% ($2,145).

     SOUND SERVICES:

     Sound studio revenues in California and New York decreased $498.  Revenue
     increases due to the inclusion of the TSW facilities ($1,068) beginning in
     February 1995 were offset by revenue decreases at the Los Angeles and New
     York studios which primarily reflect decreases in feature film dubbing
     bookings due to scheduling irregularities and the remodelling of a feature
     film stage.

     Sound studio operating costs and expenses increased $776 due to the
     inclusion of TSW beginning in February 1995.  Offsetting this increase,

                                       12


<PAGE>


     sound studio operating costs and expenses related to the revenue decreases
     described above decreased $158.

     VIDEO SERVICES:

     Revenues increased $2,096 due to the inclusion of Todd-AO Video Services
     ("TVS") ($1,749) and Todd-AO Digital Images ("TDI") ($347) in the current
     year.

     Operating costs and expenses for TVS and TDI were $1,511.

     CORPORATE:

     Depreciation and amortization increased 19.4% ($120) due to the inclusion
     of TVS, TDI and TSW in the current year.

     Equipment lease expense net of amortization of deferred gain on sale of
     equipment in connection with a sale/leaseback agreement entered into on
     December 30, 1994 with the Company's institutional lender is $149.

     A net decrease in other income of $746 is primarily due to the following: a
     $593 decrease due to stock appreciation rights provision adjustments
     related to fluctuations in the Company's stock price; a $121 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 ($122) and non-recurring severance
     costs ($121); and a decrease of $136 due to gains on sales of investments
     in the prior year.

     Losses from the Company's entertainment project development joint venture
     decreased $231 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 decreased $397 and net
     income decreased $227.
