1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 1995, the
consolidated statements of operations for the six months and quarters ended
February 28, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
the six months then ended have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows at February 28, 1995 and for all periods presented
have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto in the Company's August 31, 1994 Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The results of operations for the
six months ended February 28, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.

2.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the six months ended February 28, 1995, stockholders' equity increased
due to net income of $489,000, from a reduction in unearned employee benefit
expense of $107,000 and additional paid in capital of $17,000 resulting from the
allocation of ESOP shares and from the purchase of employee stock under the
stock purchase plan in the amount of $17,000.

3.  RECLASSIFICATION

Gain on disposal of fixed assets and amortization of goodwill were reclassified
for fiscal 1994 to conform with the current year presentation.

4.  PER SHARE DATA

Per share data for the quarter and six months ended February 28, 1995 and 1994
is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  In the
quarter and six months ended February 28, 1995, unreleased Employee Stock
Ownership Plan shares are not considered outstanding for earnings per share
calculations.  (See Note 5).






5.  401(K) EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings and stock ownership plan (the "Plan")
which requires the Company to match employee contributions to the 401(k) portion
of the Plan in shares of the Company's Common Stock up to the maximum amount set
forth in the Plan.  Effective September 1, 1994, the Company has adopted the
provisions of Statement of Position 93-6, "Employer's Accounting for Employee
Stock Ownership Plans" ("SOP 93-6").


                                        8

<PAGE>

In 1987, to purchase 115,849 shares of the Company's stock, the Plan obtained
financing from a bank amounting to $1,250,000.  In 1991 the Plan purchased
25,810 shares of the Company's stock financed by a $229,193 loan from the
Company.  The Plan is funded by the Company as required to provide the Plan with
the funds necessary to meet its debt service requirements.  The loan obligations
of the Plan are considered unearned employee benefit expense and are recorded as
a separate reduction of the Company's shareholders' equity.  The bank financing
is guaranteed by the Company.

The Plan's shares are released and allocated to participant accounts based upon
Company contributions and certain payments made to reduce the Plan debt.  The
Company reports compensation expense based on the dollar value of the 401(k)
match expense.

The Plan's compensation expense was $87,810 and $43,905 for the six months and
quarter ended February 28, 1995, respectively.  A summary of the Plan's shares
as of February 28, 1995 is as follows:

                                                 --------
</TABLE>

Prior to adoption of SOP 93-6, the unreleased shares were considered outstanding
for the earnings per share computation.  Accordingly, for the six months ended
February 28, 1995, 43,614 shares were no longer considered outstanding.  The
effect of adopting SOP 93-6 was not material on the net income, and resulted in
an increase of 1% on the net income per share for the six months and quarter
ended February 28, 1995.

6.  GC & CO. ACQUISITION

On February 24, 1995, the Company purchased the business and assets of GC & Co.
for a purchase price of $6,750,000 consisting of $6,000,000 in cash and $750,000
of convertible subordinated promissory notes.  The notes bear interest at the
rate of 1% over prime and the entire principal balance is due in August of 1997.
The notes are subordinated to all debt of the Company owing to Chemical Bank and
The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., the Company's primary bank lenders, and are
convertible into the Company's common stock, based on the principal of the
notes, at a rate of $10.00 per share. The cash portion of the purchase price was
financed by a $4,700,000 five year capital lease with a fixed rate of interest
of 8.2%, payable in sixty equal monthly payments of principal and interest of
$82,000 and a balloon payment at the end of the lease period of $940,000.
Additionally, the Company obtained a $1,800,000 loan with a fixed interest rate
of 9.3% payable in sixty equal monthly payments of principal and interest of
$33,000 and a balloon payment at the end of the five year period of $360,000.
The $500,000 available to the Company from these two financings after the
payment of the cash portion of the GC & Co. acquisition price was used to repay
a $500,000 note payable to Banta Corporation from the purchase of the Editel Los
Angeles building.  The purchase price includes goodwill of $2,000,000 which will
be amortized over a 15 year period.

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 7, 1995 the Company announced that it terminated negotiations with
Modern Videofilm, Inc., a Burbank, California provider of post-production
services, for the sale to Modern of the business and assets of the Unitel-
Hollywood division of the Company.  The Company and Modern had previously
announced an agreement in principle for the sale of the Unitel-Hollywood
division for approximately $7,000,000 in cash, subject to the completion of
definitive documentation, the completion of financing arrangements by Modern,
and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.  The Company terminated
negotiations when the parties were unable to agree on a number of matters that
the Company considered central to the successful completion of the proposed
transaction.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital expenditures were $1,229,000 and $2,348,000 during the quarter and six
months ended February 28, 1995, (exclusive of the acquisition of GC & Co.
described below) and $3,232,000 and $8,510,000 for the quarter and six months
ended February 28, 1994.  During the first six months of fiscal year 1995
capital expenditures were made primarily for the modernization of the Company's
Editel-Los Angeles building and film to tape facilities.  Equipment used in post
production and graphics was also purchased for use throughout the Company.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended February
28, 1995 was $2,936,000 and during the six months ended February 28, 1994 was
$4,355,000.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended
February 28, 1995 was offset by $3,317,000 of cash used in investing activities,
which consisted primarily of capital expenditures and the acquisition of the
assets of GC & Co. and was supplemented by net cash provided by financing
activities of $266,000, resulting in a net decrease in cash available of
$115,000.

In May 1992, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement
with its two primary bank lenders.  The facility includes a term loan portion
that is payable in equal monthly payments of $250,000 through October 1998, and
a $10,000,000 revolving credit portion which is due in full in May 1995.  As of
February 28, 1995, $823,000 was available under the revolving credit portion of
the loan.  The revolving credit portion of the long-term debt is included in
current liabilities and the Company is currently negotiating to extend the term
of the revolver.

In February 1995, the Company purchased the business and assets of GC & Co.
(formerly known as Greene, Crowe & Company), a Burbank, California based
supplier of "on-location" services for the videotaping and live telecasting of
concerts, cultural and other events, including the "Academy Awards", the "Grammy
Awards" and "The American Music Awards".  The purchase price was $6,750,000,
consisting of $6,000,000 in cash and $750,000 of convertible subordinated
promissory notes.  The notes bear interest at 1% over prime and are due in full
in August 1997 and are also convertible into the Company's common stock at
$10.00 per share.  The cash portion of the purchase price was financed by a
$4,700,000 five year capital lease with a fixed rate of interest of 8.2%,
payable in sixty equal monthly payments of principal and interest of $82,000 and
a balloon payment at the end of the lease period of $940,000.  Additionally, the
Company obtained a $1,800,000 loan with a fixed interest rate of 9.3% payable in
sixty equal monthly payments of principal and interest of $33,000 and a balloon
payment at the end of the five year period of $360,000.  The $500,000 available
to the Company from these two financings after the payment of the cash portion
of the GC & Co. acquisition price was used to repay a $500,000 note payable to
Banta Corporation from the purchase of the Editel Los Angeles building.

On April 7, 1995 the Company announced that it terminated negotiations with
Modern Videofilm, Inc., a Burbank, California provider of post-production
services, for the sale to Modern of the business and assets of the Unitel-
Hollywood division of the Company.  The Company and Modern had previously
announced an agreement in principle for the sale of the Unitel-Hollywood
division for approximately $7,000,000 in cash, subject to the completion of
definitive documentation, the completion of financing arrangements by Modern,
and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.  The Company terminated
negotiations when the parties were unable to agree on a number of matters that
the Company considered central to the successful completion of the proposed
transaction.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales were $20,581,000 and $18,806,000 for the quarters ended February 28, 1995
and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of 9%.  The sales increase was
due primarily to greater revenues generated by the Company's studio production
facilities. Sales were $41,814,000, and $40,363,000 for the six months ended
February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994, respectively.

The Company's net income for the quarter ended February 28, 1995 was $50,000,
compared to the net loss of ($451,000) for the comparable quarter of fiscal year
1994.  The increase in net income was due to an increase in sales of $1,775,000
during the second quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in the prior year,
as well as a significant decrease in general and administrative expenses.  The
Company's net income was $489,000 and $284,000 for the six months ended February
28, 1995 and February 28, 1994, respectively.

Production costs, the main component of cost of sales, consist primarily of
direct labor, equipment maintenance expenses and occupancy costs.  The Company's
production costs, as a percentage of sales, were 71% for the quarter ended
February 28, 1995, as compared to 70% for the quarter ended February 28, 1994
and were 69% and 67% for the first six months of fiscal years 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The increase in production costs for the quarter and six months
ended February 28, 1995 as compared with the same period in the prior year, is
due primarily to a significant increase in studio production revenues which
incur expense at a higher rate than the Company's other services.

Depreciation, as a percentage of sales, was 12% and 13% for the quarters ended
February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994, respectively, and 11% and 12% for the
first six months of the 1995 and 1994 fiscal years, respectively.  The decrease
in the quarter and six months ended February 28, 1995 compared to the same
periods in the prior year was a result of a reduction in depreciation as a
result of a gain on disposals of $274,000 as compared to a gain of $81,000 in
1994.  Additionally, certain assets of the Company's Mobile and Windsor
divisions became fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 1994.

Selling expenses for the quarters ended February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994
were 3.6% and 3.7% of sales, respectively, and 3.6% and 3.5% for the six months
ended February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994, respectively.  The increase in
the six months ended February 28, 1995 compared to the comparable period in
fiscal year 1994 was due to an increase in the sales staff at the Company's
Editel divisions.

General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the quarters
ended February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994 were 10% and 14%, respectively,
and 10% and 13% for the six months ended February 28, 1995 and February 28,
1994, respectively.  The decrease in the quarter and six months ended February
28, 1995 compared to the same period in fiscal 1994 is due primarily to an
ongoing company wide effort to reduce administrative costs.

Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, for the quarters ended February 28,
1995 and February 28, 1994 was 3.6% and 3.1%, respectively, and 3.5% and 3.0%
for the six months ended February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994.  The increase
in the quarter and six months ended February 28, 1995 as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1994 was due to additional interest expense incurred relating
to the mortgage financings obtained on the studio purchased by the Company in
October 1993 and on the Editel-Los Angeles building purchased by the Company in
June 1994, equipment financing obtained in December 1993 and financing obtained
as a result of the GC & Co. acquisition.  Additionally, interest rates were
significantly higher in the first six months of fiscal 1995 as compared to the
same period in the prior year resulting in higher interest payments on the
floating rate portion of the Company's debt.

The Company's effective tax rate was 47% for the first six months of both fiscal
1995 and 1994.  The effective tax rate exceeded the federal statutory rate of
34% due to state and local taxes.
