- -----------------------

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996
(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, 1995.  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 Ltd. ("TAO Europe") and Todd-AO's Land of the Future.  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 for each of the
     years presented including common share equivalents arising from the assumed
     conversion of any outstanding dilutive stock options.

4.   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.  Through February 29, 1996 Todd-AO Productions had invested
     $2,682 (consisting of cash, services and accrued interest) in the Venture,
     which has been dissolved.  In the event that certain projects developed by
     the Venture are ultimately produced or otherwise commercialized, a portion
     of the proceeds is payable to Todd-AO Productions.

5.   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 $6,966 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
     Chrysalis/Todd-AO Europe Ltd. ("Chrysalis") (formerly Chrysalis Television
     Facilities, Ltd.) from Chrysalis Holdings Ltd. ("CHL").  TAO Europe,
     Chrysalis and CHL are all corporations organized under the laws of the
     United Kingdom and headquartered in London.  Chrysalis 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 $1,364.  An additional

                                        8

<PAGE>

     cash settlement of $220 was paid in June 1995.  Concurrently with the
     acquisition, TAO Europe advanced and paid on behalf of Chrysalis its
     intercompany debt to CHL in the amount of $4,585.  Subsequent to the
     acquisition, TAO Europe advanced and paid on behalf of Chrysalis other debt
     in the amount of $1,562.  TAO Europe and Chrysalis 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 for the six months ended February 28, 1995 is presented as if
     the acquisitions of TSW and TAO Europe had occurred on September 1, 1994.
     Pro forma adjustments for TSW are primarily to operating expenses related
     to nonapplicable 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 are primarily to amortization expense
     relating to allocation of the purchase price, interest expense on
     borrowings in connection with the acquisition and income taxes.

                                                   ---------

6.   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 29, 1996, 785,146 shares had been
     repurchased.  All of these shares have been cancelled and returned to
     authorized but unissued status.

7.   On August 11, 1995 a 10% stock dividend was declared for holders of Class A
     and Class B stock, payable on September 29, 1995 to shareholders of record
     on September 8, 1995.

     The financial statements set forth herein, and applicable share and per
     share data for periods and dates included in the accompanying financial
     statements and notes, have been adjusted to retroactively reflect the stock
     dividend.

8.   The Company is in the process of organizing a limited liability company
     ("LLC") with United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc., an operator of motion
     picture theatres ("UATC") for the purpose of exploiting proprietary
     technology to conserve film stock and reduce the length of wide screen film
     release prints.  The technology, known as "Compact Distribution Print" or
     "CDP", is in the final stages of development.  It is anticipated that the
     Company and UATC will each have a 50% interest in any profits of the LLC,
     which is known as "CDP Limited Liability Company".

     In April 1996 the Company formed a limited liability company with Chace
     Productions, Inc. to preserve and restore motion picture soundtracks.  The
     new company, Todd-AO/Chace Preservation Services LLC is starting work on 80
     classic feature films.

                                        9

<PAGE>

     The Company announced in March 1996 that it is in negotiations to acquire
     Filmatic Laboratories, Ltd., a London based film processing and video post
     production company.

9.   In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 - Accounting For Stock Based
     Compensation.  The Company plans to adopt only the disclosure portions of
     the Statement and therefore does not expect the Statement to have a
     material effect on the financial statements.

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
     the sale/leaseback of certain equipment and a 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.  In April 1996,
     the Company signed an amendment to the long-term revolving and term loan
     credit agreement increasing the amount by an additional $6,000.  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 $24,000 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.

     As of February 29, 1996 the Company has $4,651 outstanding under the credit
     agreement.

     The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately $5,000 for its
     Los Angeles, New York City and London facilities in fiscal 1996.  These
     capital expenditures will be financed by bank leasing and credit facilities
     and by internally generated funds.

     increased 46.9% ($7,746).

     SOUND SERVICES:

     Sound studio revenues in California and New York increased $6,533.  Revenue
     increases due to the inclusion of the west side Los Angeles studios of
     Todd-AO Studios West ("TSW") ($5,007) acquired in February 1995 were
     augmented by revenue increases at the Los Angeles and New York studios due
     primarily to increases in feature film dubbing bookings.  In addition, a
     feature film stage which was closed for four months remodelling in the
     prior year was operational in the current year.

     Sound studio operating costs and expenses increased $3,578 due to the
     inclusion of TSW acquired in February 1995 and $103 related to the revenue
     increases at the Los Angeles and New York studios.

     VIDEO SERVICES:

     Total video services revenues increased $5,971.  Revenues increased $5,447
     due to the acquisition of Chrysalis/Todd-AO Europe, Ltd. ("Chrysalis") in
     March 1995.  Todd-AO Video Services ("TVS") and Todd-AO Digital Images
     ("TDI") also reported revenue increases in the current year.

     Increases in operating costs and expenses attributable to TVS, TDI and
     Chrysalis were $4,071 and are related to the revenue increases described
     above.

     CORPORATE:

     Depreciation and amortization increased 64.5% ($1,012) primarily due to the
     inclusion of TSW and Chrysalis in the current year.

     Equipment lease expense net of gain on sale of equipment in connection with
     a sale/leaseback agreement entered into in December 1994 with the Company's
     institutional lender is $344 and interest expense primarily due to
     borrowings in connection with the acquisition of Chrysalis is $386.

     A net increase in other income of $423 is primarily due to the following:
     a $77 increase in interest and dividend income primarily due to investing
     activities in connection with the proceeds from the sale/leaseback
     agreement; a non-recurring provision adjustment of $215 due to the
     favorable settlement of a contested claim; other provision adjustments and
     a prior year severance cost totalling $302; current year research and
     development costs ($89); a net loss from the disposition of assets and
     investments ($21); and a decrease of $71 due to stock appreciation rights
     provision adjustments in the current and prior year.

     As a result of the above, income before taxes increased $3,674 and net
     income increased $2,200.

     CURRENT QUARTER

     increased 31.8% ($2,715).

     SOUND SERVICES:

     increases due to the inclusion of the west side Los Angeles studios of
     Todd-AO Studios West ("TSW") ($1,537) acquired in February 1995 were offset
     by revenue decreases at the Los Angeles studios due primarily to decreases
     in feature film editing, television dubbing and scoring.  Revenues at the
     New York studios were relatively unchanged.

     Sound studio operating costs and expenses increased $1,240 due to the
     inclusion of TSW acquired in February 1995 and decreased $624 related to
     the revenue decreases at the Los Angeles studios.  Operating expenses at
     the New York studios were substantially comparable to the prior period.

     the expiration date of the 1986 Option Plan from August 31, 1996: (i) to
