- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long term capital lease obligations        $109,239             $114,585
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

The Company leases certain production and office equipment under the terms of 
capital leases.  The capitalized value of the leased equipment was $287,324 
at September 30, 1998 and $226,757 at March 31, 1998.  The related 
accumulated depreciation was $101,739 at September 30, 1998 and $48,824 at 
March 31, 1998. These amounts are combined with similar equipment in the 
accompanying condensed financial statements.  Lessors have a security 
interest in all equipment classified as a capital lease.

The Company maintains a line of credit in the amount of $250,000 with a bank, 
which matured August 1998.  The bank granted an extension of the maturity 
date to October 31, 1998.  If drawn upon, the indebtedness bears interest at 
the bank's prime rate plus two percent per annum (10.0% at September 30, 1998 
and 10.5% at March 31, 1998).  The Company's accounts receivable secure any 
amounts drawn under the line of credit.  As of September 30, 1998 and March 
31, 1998, the balance outstanding was $60,000 and $200,000, respectively.

NOTE 4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing 
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect 
the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the 
entity.  For purposes of computing diluted earnings per share, dilutive 
securities represented 60,000 and 43,333 common stock equivalents at 
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

Net sales for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 were 
$939,870 and $2,002,444, respectively.  Net sales for the corresponding 
periods ended September 30, 1997 were $788,538 and $1,549,133, respectively.  
The increase in sales for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 
1998 as compared to the corresponding periods ended September 30, 1997 were 
19% and 29% respectively.  The increase in revenues during the first and 
second quarters of fiscal 1998 was primarily due to an increase in core 
business revenues of 37%.  Core business revenues are primarily earned from 
providing animation and video presentation services to the litigation support 
market.  Litigation support customers include law firms, corporations, 
insurance companies and certain government agencies.  The Company also earns 
revenues from the rental and service of an advanced electronic courtroom 
presentation system consisting of proprietary software in combination with 
off-the-shelf hardware.  The system has been named "VuPoint" and the Company 
has received trademark protection of the name.  The Company has applied for 
patent protection for the software. Revenues from the rental of the VuPoint 
system and corresponding service revenues earned during the three and six 
month periods ended September 30, 1998 were $0 and $19,385 as compared to 
$49,993 and $99,137 for the same periods during fiscal 1998.  The decrease 
in revenues from VuPoint rental and service was due to fewer trials utilizing 
the system during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1999 as compared to 
the same periods during fiscal 1998. Management anticipates that sales 
volume, including VuPoint rental and service revenue will increase during the 
third quarter of fiscal 1999 as a result of increased client trial activity. 

OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

Income from operations was $18,051 and $124,711 for the three and six-month 
periods ended September 30, 1998.  Income (loss) from operations was $(855) 
and $16,577 for the corresponding three and six month period ended September 
30, 1997.  The increase in operating income during the three and six month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 
1997 was due to the 19% and 29% increase in revenues noted above.  
Corresponding operating expenses increased by 17% and 23% for the three and 
six month periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three and six 
month periods ended September 30, 1997.
                                       


                                    6 of 11

<PAGE>

PRODUCTION EXPENSES

Production expenses were $398,057 and $813,052 for the three and six-month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $351,146 and 681,458 for the 
three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1997.  These results 
represent an increase of 13% and 19% for the three and six-month periods 
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal 
year. The increase is consistent with the increase in core business revenues 
and was primarily due to the higher expenditures in labor needed to produce 
the resulting revenue levels.  Production costs for direct contract labor and 
other billable expenses will vary directly with sales levels.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenses were $72,533 and $116,450 for the three and 
six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $40,680 and $68,848 
for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1997.  These results 
represent an increase of 79% and 69% for the three and six-month periods 
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal 
year. The increase is due to addition of a Director of Software Development 
during the second quarter of the current fiscal year.  This management level 
position was added in order to provide a technical level of management 
support over the Company's software development activities.  Research and 
development costs are incurred as the Company continues to refine and enhance 
the VuPoint system. Management considers VuPoint to have significant 
long-term revenue potential and will continue further developments in the 
foreseeable future.  Research and development expenses are expected to 
continue at their current level through out the remaining quarters of the 
current fiscal year.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $183,949 and $379,257 for the three 
and six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $157,445 and 
$311,273 for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1997.  These 
results represent an increase of 17% and 22% for the three and six-month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods of the prior 
fiscal year. The increase is due to an increase in the cost of office space 
rental, additional professional fees for management consulting activities and 
an increase in the reserves booked for accounts receivable.

MARKETING EXPENSES

Marketing expenses were $201,710 and $444,456 for the three and six-month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $181,989 and $357,886 for the 
three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1997.  These results 
represent an increase of 11% and 24% for the three and six-month periods 
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal 
year.  The additional expense is due to an increase in salespersons 
commissions and is directly proportional to the 19% and 29% increase in 
revenues for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1998.  Sales 
commissions are calculated as a percentage of revenues.

DEPRECIATION EXPENSE

Depreciation expenses were $65,570 and $124,518 for the three and six-month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $42,635 and $82,662 for the 
three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1997.   The increase is due 
to additions to property and equipment in the amount of $339,910 during the 
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 as well as additions to property and 
equipment in the amount of $141,083 during the six month period ended 
September 30, 1998.  

AMORTIZATION OF PRIOR YEARS' SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The decrease in amortization costs was due to amortization of capitalized 
software development costs related to VuPoint in the amount of $15,498 and 
$30,429 for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1997.  These 
costs were fully amortized by fiscal year ended March 31, 1998; accordingly, 
no amortization costs were recorded for the three and six-month periods ended 
September 30, 1998.
                                       


                                    7 of 11

<PAGE>

OTHER EXPENSE

Other expense was $8,944 and $16,112 for the three and six-month periods 
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $6,746 and $15,283 for the three and 
six-month periods ended September 30, 1997.  The increase of 33% for the 
three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period ended 
September 30, 1997 was due to loss on disposal of computer equipment.  The 
overall decrease of 5% in other expenses for the six month period ended 
September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 1997 is 
due to lower interest costs as certain debt obligations were paid off during 
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax (expense)/benefit was $(3,400) and $(36,100) for the three and six 
month periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $2,300 and $(700) for 
the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in 
income tax expense for the first two quarters of the current fiscal year is 
the result of the increase in income from operations noted above.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $96,890 at September 30, 1998 as 
compared to $132,575 at March 31, 1998.  The decrease in the deferred tax 
asset was the direct result of the corresponding increase in the Company's 
income before taxes for the six months ended September 30, 1988.  The Company 
has established a valuation allowance of $14,000 at September 30, 1998 and 
March 31, 1998 against the deferred tax asset as management believes that it 
is more likely than not, that the deferred tax asset related to the tax 
credits and a portion of the loss carryforwards may not be realized before 
all carryforward expiration dates.

NET INCOME

Net income was $5,707 and $72,499 for the three and six month periods ended 
September 30, 1998 as compared to $(5,301) and $594 for the three and six 
month periods ended September 30, 1997.  Basic earnings per share were $0.002 
and $0.019 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared 
to $(0.001) and $0.000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997. 
Diluted earnings per share were $0.001 and $0.019 for the three and six month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $(0.001) and $0.000 for the 
three and six month periods ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in net 
income, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the 
current fiscal year is due to the higher level of operating income than in 
the prior fiscal year for the same periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, the Company's working capital position was $708,323, 
an increase of $18,166 during the current quarter and an increase of $92,008 
over the position at March 31, 1998.  The year-to-date increase is attributed 
to positive cash flows from operations.  Cash flow from operations was 
$139,834 for the six months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $174,588 
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and $290,829 for the six months 
ended September 30, 1997.  The majority of the Company's cash flow from 
operations during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1999 was used to 
paydown the line of credit, purchase new equipment and make normal payments 
on capital lease obligations. It is management's opinion that through cash 
management and other measures, working capital for the foreseeable future 
will be sufficient to meet operating requirements.

Capital additions were $33,455 and $141,083 during the three and six-month 
periods ended September 30, 1998; $60,567 of these additions were financed 
through capital lease arrangements.

Debt and capital lease payments were $180,724 for the six-month period ended 
September 30, 1998.  Debt and capital lease payments are reported at net of 
borrowings.  The proceeds from borrowing during these periods were used for 
financing normal operations and acquisition of new production equipment.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

GENERAL

Many older computer systems, software products and embedded chips that are in 
use today were programmed to accept two digit entries in the date code field 
(e.g. "98" for "1998").  These systems, software and embedded chips need to 
be modified or upgraded to distinguish twenty-first century dates (e.g. 
"2002") from twentieth century dates (e.g. "1902"), in order to avoid the 
possibility of erroneous results or systems failures.

The Company's management has launched an effort to address any potential Year 
2000 compliance issues relating to its 1) internal operating systems, 2) 
vendors, facilities and other third parties and 3) software products that it 
licenses to customers.  Management believes that adequate resources have been 
allocated to this effort and expects that any Year 2000 considerations will 
not materially impact the Company's internal operations.  Year 2000 
considerations may have an affect on some of the Company's customers and 
suppliers, and thus indirectly affect the Company. 

CORPORATE INFRASTRUCTURE STATE OF READINESS

Management is addressing the Year 2000 issues with respect to the software 
product ("VuPoint") which it intends to license to existing and potential 
customers. VuPoint currently is Year 2000 compliant and any modifications or 
rewrites of the software code will be tested to be assured that they are also 
Year 2000 compliant.  Management is also evaluating the Company's internal 
critical business systems that have date sensitivity.  Any internal critical 
business systems that are not Year 2000 compliant will be replaced or 
modified before their potential "failure date". Management will be 
communicating with major vendors, suppliers, landlords and other third 
parties regarding Year 2000 compliance of embedded processors in the 
Company's computers and facilities, software and other information 
technology, and other products and services which the Company obtains from 
third parties.

COSTS

The Company has not incurred any significant costs associated with Year 2000 
compliance evaluations or modifications.   Management has not estimated the 
possible future cost of replacing or modifying critical business systems as 
the extent to which any of these systems might be non-compliant has not been 
completely determined.  However, based on the evaluations completed to date, 
none of the Company's critical business systems will require significant 
modification or replacement.

RISKS

The VuPoint software that the Company intends to offer to its customers under 
licensing arrangements, might contain undetected errors or failures when 
first introduced or when new versions are released, even though the product 
is intended to be Year 2000 compliant.  While the Company is assessing, 
correcting and testing VuPoint in regard to Year 2000 compliance, there can 
be no assurances that the product or future releases of the product will not 
contain undetected date sensitivity errors.  If the Company is unable or is 
delayed in making the necessary date code changes to VuPoint or future 
releases of the product, there would not be a material adverse effect upon 
the Company's business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

There can be no assurances that the systems of other parties upon which the 
Company relies will be made Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis.  The 
Company utilizes third party vendor equipment, telecommunications products, 
and software products.  Management intends to take steps to address the 
impact, if any, of the Year 2000 issue surrounding such third party products. 
However, third parties' Year 2000 compliance efforts are not within the 
control of the Company. The failure of any critical technology components to 
operate properly may have a material impact on business operations or require 
the Company to incur unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems.

The most substantial operational risks are those that are beyond the 
Company's control, including the progress of government agencies and 
compliance efforts of utility companies.  It is possible that interruptions 
in vital services due to Year 2000 non-compliance will interfere with normal 
business operations.  Such failures could materially and adversely affect the 
Company's results of operations.
