                  				    TM CENTURY INC.

             			 NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

	                    	MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
 
	    1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

	    The interim  financial  statements of  TM  Century, Inc.  (the
	    "Company") at  March 31,  1996, and  for  the three  and  six 
	    months ended  March  31, 1996  and  1995,  are unaudited,  but
	    include all adjustments  (consisting only of  normal recurring
	    adjustments) which the Company considers necessary  for a fair
	    presentation.   The  September  30,  1995  balance  sheet  was
	    derived from  the  balance  sheet  included in  the  Company's
	    audited financial statements as  filed on Form 10-KSB  for the
	    year ended  September 30,  1995.   Certain amounts  previously
	    reported in  prior  interim  financial  statements  have  been
	    reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

	    The accompanying  unaudited interim  financial statements  are
	    for  interim  periods  and  do  not  include  all  disclosures
	    normally provided in  annual financial statements,  and should
	    be read in  conjunction with  the Company's  audited financial
	    statements.   The  accompanying  unaudited  interim  financial
	    statements for the three  and six months ended  March 31, 1996
	    are not  necessarily indicative  of the  results which  can be
	    expected for the entire fiscal year.

	    2. STOCK OPTION PLAN

	    On December 3,  1991, the Board  of Directors approved  a Long
	    Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which provides for grants of 
	    Incentive Stock Options to  selected employees and  for grants
	    of Nonqualified  Stock  Options  to  any  persons who  in  the
	    opinion of the Board of Directors perform significant services
	    on behalf of  the Company.   Each  member of  the Compensation
	    Committee who is  not an employee  or full-time  consultant of
	    the Company is automatically granted in December of each year,
	    commencing in 1991, for five years (but only for so long as he
	    or she  remains a  member of  the  Compensation Committee),  a
	    Nonqualified Stock Option for 2,500 shares. The maximum number
	    of shares  which may  be issued  pursuant to  the exercise  of
	    options under the Plan was 187,500  shares.  Effective October
	    28, 1993, the Board of Directors approved  an amendment to the
	    Plan which increased the  total number of shares  which may be
	    issued to 250,000 shares of common stock.

	    The option price of  Incentive Stock Options is  not less that
	    the fair  market value  of the  common  stock at  the date  of
	    grant.  All  outstanding Incentive Stock  Options vest  over a
	    period of five years from the date of grant.

<PAGE>

	    The option price of outstanding Nonqualified  Stock Options is
	    $1.20 per share.   All outstanding Nonqualified  Stock Options
	    are 20% vested upon grant, 50% vested after year one, and 100%
	    vested after two years.

	    3. INCOME TAXES

	    Deferred  income  taxes  are  provided,  when  applicable,   on
	    temporary differences  between  the recognition  of income  and
	    expense for  tax  and  for  financial accounting  purposes  in
	    accordance with  Statement of  Financial Accounting  Standards
	    No. 109 ("SFAS 109").  Temporary differences which give rise    
	    to deferred taxes  include basis  differences of  property and
	    equipment, accelerated  tax  depreciation  in excess  of  book
	    depreciation, and valuation  allowances provided in  excess of
	    amounts deductible for tax purposes.   Under the provisions of
	    SFAS 109, recognition of deferred tax  assets is permitted for
	    such amounts which can  be carried  forward to future  periods.
	    The Company  has recorded  a deferred  tax  asset of  $157,000   
	    reflecting the  benefit of  $340,000 in  net operating  losses
	    which is available for  carryforward until 2008.   Realization
	    is dependent on generating sufficient taxable  income prior to
	    expiration of the loss carryforwards.  Although realization is
	    not assured, management  believes it is  more likely  than not
	    that all  of the  deferred tax  asset will  be realized.   The
	    amount  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  considered  realizable,
	    however, could be  reduced in  the near  term if  estimates of
	    future taxable  income  during  the  carryforward  period  are
	    reduced.

<PAGE>
	    4.  RENEWAL OF LINE CREDIT

	    Effective February 28, 1996, the Company  renewed its $300,000
	    revolving line of credit  (the "Line of Credit") for a one year 
	    term.  Borrowings under the Line of Credit bear a fluctuating
	    interest rate of prime plus 1.5%, payable monthly , and the  
	    Company provides  a negative  pledge on  all accounts receivable, 
	    contract  rights, and  inventory  of the  Company.  The Line of 
	    Credit, which bears  a commitment fee  of .5% per  annum, is 
	    renewable annually,  subject to the consent  of both parties.  
	    No  borrowings were drawn  under the  Line of  Credit during the   
	    six  months  ended  March  31,  1996.  Refer  to discussion in 
	    subsequent event below.

	5.  EDS AGREEMENT

	    On February  9, 1996  the  Company entered  into  a five  year
	    marketing agreement with  Electronic Data  Systems Corporation
	    ("EDS"), which provides the Company with the exclusive  right
	    to distribute and sublicense  the EDS CoSTAR Trademark "(TM)" 
	    hard   disk audio  storage  and  retrieval   system to  radio  
	    stations within  the United States and  its territories.  The 
	    CoSTAR(TM)  system  is a  collection  of integrated  software 
	    applications that  allows  a broadcaster  to  digitally   record  
	    and  edit  material  for distribution  within a  facility  on a 
	    local  area  network (LAN) or  to  remote sites via a wide area 
	    network (WAN).  The growing trend  to  multi-station  facilities  
	    and  the  expansion  of broadcast  groups allow broadcasters  to 
	    take advantage  of  the  cost  savings of consolidation and the 
	    marketing  opportunities  of   multimedia technologies.  The  
	    agreement provides exclusive distribution rights  to the Company 
	    through  December 31, 2000, subject to  meeting  certain annual  
	    performance  goals.   The Company also anticipates entering into 
	    service  agreements  with  end users of  the  CoSTAR(TM) system. 
	    The CoSTAR(TM) system  is not expected to impact revenues  until 
	    the first quarter of fiscal 1997 due to further development needs 
	    and support systems.

	    6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

	    In May 1996 the Company entered into a lease agreement for the
	    financing of an upgrade of  its computer hardware and software
	    systems.  The lease will have a term of three  years and will
	    be backed by  a letter  of credit in  the amount  of $200,000.
	    The letter  of  credit  reduces  the  availability  under  the
	    Company's revolving Line of Credit from $300,000 to $100,000.   
	    The cost of the project is estimated at $500,000  and is 
	    anticipated to be completed by the end of the fiscal year.

                          				   TM CENTURY, INC.

                 			MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

          		     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


	    TM  Century,  Inc.  is  primarily  engaged  in  the  creation,
	    production, marketing, and  worldwide distribution  of compact
	    disc   music   libraries,   production    libraries,   station
	    identification  jingles,  computer  software   used  in  music
	    scheduling, specialized computer  equipment and  software, and
	    compact disc players for radio stations.

	    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

	    The Company  relies  upon current  sales  of music  libraries,
	    jingles, and  specialized computer  equipment and  software on
	    terms  of cash  upon   delivery  for   operating  liquidity.
	    Liquidity is also  provided by  monthly revenues  under three-
	    year contracts for production libraries and under weekly music
	    service contracts having one month to  three-year terms.   The
	    Company is obligated to  provide music updates  throughout the
	    contract terms for its  weekly music service contracts.  Sales
	    of  music   libraries,  jingles,   and  specialized   computer
	    equipment and  software  and  the  payments  under  production
	    library and weekly  music service  contracts will  provide, in
	    the  opinion  of   management,  adequate  liquidity   to  meet
	    operating requirements at least through the end of fiscal year
	    1996.   

	    During the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company made
	    capital expenditures  of $19,000 for the purchase  of property
	    and  equipment  and  incurred  product  development  costs  of
	    $76,000 for  software development,  new  music libraries,  and
	    music library updates.  Funds for operating needs, new product
	    development  and  capital  expenditures, for the  period  were
	    provided from cash reserves.   The Company's  expenditures for
	    property, equipment,  and  development  of  new  products  are
	    discretionary.  In May  1996 the Company entered  into a lease
	    agreement for the  financing of  an upgrade  of   its  computer
	    hardware and  software  systems, which  is anticipated  to  be
	    completed by  the end  of the  fiscal  year. The  cost of  the
	    project is estimated at $500,000, payable over the term of the
	    lease at  an effective  interest rate  of approximately  8.5% .
	    The term of the lease will  be three years and  the lease  will
	    be backed by  a letter  of credit in  the amount  of $200,000.
	    The letter  of  credit  reduces  the  availability  under  the
	    Company's revolving Line   of  Credit   from   $300,000  to   
	    $100,000.  Management anticipates that cash flow from operations 
	    and cash reserves  will  be   sufficient to meet these capital 
	    requirements at least through the end of fiscal year 1996.


					    

<PAGE>


					    
	    The Company's revolving Line of Credit  with a bank provides a
	    negative pledge on  all accounts receivable,  contract rights,
	    and inventory of  the Company.   Borrowings under the  Line of
	    Credit bear a  fluctuating interest  rate of  prime plus 1.5%,  
	    payable monthly   The Line of Credit, which bears a commitment
	    fee of 0.5% per  annum, is renewable annually, subject  to the
	    consent of  both parties.  The Line  of  Credit was  renewed
	    effective February 28, 1996.   No borrowings were drawn  under
	    the Line of Credit during the quarter.


	    RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

	    Comparison of the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1995 and
	    1996

	    Revenues declined approximately 21% in the  three month period
	    ended March 31, 1996  as compared to  the same period  for the
	    previous year.  The decrease was due primarily to a decline in
	    compact disc  music  library  sales  prices  and  declines  in
	    production library,  and  specialized  computer equipment  and
	    software sales volume.

	    As the  compact disc  music library  market matures,  sales of
	    compact discs are  generated primarily  from changes  in music
	    formats rather  than from  conversions to  compact disc  music
	    delivery technology.  Management believes that  the decline in
	    compact disc  music  library  revenues  may  continue  as  the
	    compact disc music  library market  has reached  a substantial
	    level of maturity  in the United  States, which is  the market
	    from which  the  Company derives  most  of  its music  library
	    revenues.  A decline in revenues from  music library sales may
	    result in  a  proportionately  greater  decline  in  operating
	    income because music libraries provide higher margins than the
	    Company's other products.

	    The decrease in production library  revenue resulted primarily
	    from the expiration  of three-year  contracts entered  into by
	    the Company with  customers in prior  years.  The  decrease in
	    revenues resulted from a reduced demand  for new contracts and
	    the nonrenewal  of  expired contracts  in  the United  States.
	    Although production library  revenues may continue  to decline
	    as additional three-year contracts expire, management believes
	    that  production  libraries   will  continue  to   generate  a
	    significant portion  of  overall revenues  from  sales of  new
	    products as well as existing products.  Renewals and new sales
	    growth are subject to customer acceptance of the new products.

	    Management believes that  the decline in  specialized computer
	    equipment sales was the result of the training time devoted by
	    the technical sales force to the new EDS CoSTAR(TM) hard  disc
	    audio storage and retrieval system.  The CoSTAR(TM) system is 
	    not expected to impact revenues  until the first quarter of 
	    fiscal 1997 due to further development needs and support systems.



<PAGE>

	    The decline in software revenue  was due to the  change in the
	    software  supplier   and  the   difficulty  in   transitioning
	    customers to  a  new  software.    During  January  1996,  the
	    Company's agreement  with its  previous  supplier of  computer
	    software used by customers in programming music play sequences
	    and for  automated  music  playback  systems  was  terminated.
	    Negotiations with  another  supplier  were  finalized  in  the
	    second quarter of fiscal year 1996.  Due  to the difficulty in
	    transitioning customers  to  a  new  software,  revenues  from
	    software sales are  expected to be  below 1995 levels  for the
	    remainder of fiscal year 1996.   Revenues of computer software
	    comprised 7% of revenues during fiscal year 1995.

	    Production, programming and  technical costs decreased  as the
	    result of restructuring and cost reduction measures which were
	    initiated during the second quarter of fiscal year 1995.  This
	    included a  reduction  of  personnel  and other  cost  cutting
	    measures  as  well  as  the  discontinuation  of  unprofitable
	    product lines.

	    General and administrative costs also decreased as a result of
	    restructuring  and  cost  reduction  measures  these.  This
	    decrease was  partially offset by a settlement of approximately  
	    $60,000 with  a long distance service  carrier   relating to  
	    long   distance  calls fraudulently charged  to  the  Company's 
	    toll  free  telephone numbers.  The Comapany has taken steps to 
	    prevent the occurence of such fraud in the future.  The Company 
	    has discontinued its toll free telephone numbers and has 
	    experienced  no reduction  in incoming  sales calls.

	    Selling costs decreased  due to  decreases in  advertising and
	    promotion expenses.

	    Other expenses decreased as  a result of a  provision for loss
	    on the  sale of  certain production  equipment in  fiscal year
	    1995.

	    Comparison of the Six  Month Periods Ended March  31, 1995 and
	    1996

	    Revenues declined approximately  22% in  the six  month period
	    ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period for the
	    previous year.  The decrease was due primarily to a decline in
	    specialized  computer  equipment  sales  volume.    Management
	    believes that  the decline  in specialized  computer equipment
	    sales was due  primarily to a restructuring  of the  marketing
	    staff in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to create a separate
	    technical sales  department and to the training time devoted by 
	    the   technical sales  force to  the  new EDS CoSTAR(TM)  hard  
	    disc   audio  storage  and   retrieval  system.   Revenues also 
	    declined due  to declines in compact  disc music library sales  
	    volume and  prices and  declines in  production library and  
	    station identification jingle sales.  Refer  to discussion above 
	    concerning compact disc music libraries and production libraries 
	    for  the three  month period  ended March 31, 1996.  Sales of 
	    weekly music services increased during the period partially  
	    offsetting  the  overall decrease  in  music library revenues.
<PAGE>

	    Production, programming and  technical costs decreased  as the
	    result  of restructuring  and  cost  reduction  measures 
	    discussed above  for the  three month  period ended  March 31,
	    1996.

	    Selling costs decreased  due to  decreases in  advertising and
	    promotion expenses  as  well  as  convention  and  convention-
	    related advertising expenses incurred in October  of the prior
	    year.

	    General and administrative costs decreased as  a result of  the
	    restructuring and cost reduction measures  discussed above and
	    compensation, legal  and  other  professional fees  associated
	    with the resignation of a director and  officer of the Company
	    in November, 1994.

	    Other  expenses  decreased  as  a  result  of  one-time  costs
	    associated with the resignation  of an officer of the Company 
	    in November, 1994.
