NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 1 - COMMENTS
In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position at December 31, 1995, the results of operations for the quarter and
six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the cash flows for the six
months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Although management of the Company
believes that the disclosures in the financial statements are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995.
The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended December
31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the full year ending June 30, 1996.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
period's presentation.
NOTE 2 - LICENSE AGREEMENT
In August 1995, the Company entered into a $800,000 licensing agreement
whereby the Company will produce and deliver eight colorized one-half hour
episodes. In exchange, the Company will receive foreign licensing fees which
will be recognized as revenue upon delivery to the customer. As such, the
Company will maintain certain domestic distribution rights and is currently
pursuing licensing those rights. In October, 1995, the Company amended the
agreement to produce an additional 18 (eighteen) one-half hour episodes under
similar terms and conditions. The Company delivered four episodes in the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 and sixteen episodes in the quarter ended
December 31, 1995. The Company anticipates delivering the remaining six
episodes by fiscal year end June 30, 1996.
NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE
In July 1995, the Company obtained short term financing by entering into
a $500,000 note payable. The note bears interest at 12.50% and the principal
and accrued interest are due November 1, 1995. The note is convertible at
the option of the creditor into shares of the Company's common stock. The
Company also issued 750,000 warrants to the creditor. The warrants are
exercisable at $0.65 per share. The exercise price will be reduced to $0.50
per share if the note payable is not repaid in full by November 1, 1995. The
note is secured by certain fixed assets of the Company. In November, 1995,
$250,000 of the note was converted into 500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. The maturity date of the remaining $250,000 of the note and
applicable accrued interest was extended to February 1, 1996. As of February
5, 1996, the Companies were negotiating payment terms for the remaining
$250,000 note and applicable accrued interest.

<PAGE>
NOTE 4 - LOANS PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
In July 1995, Mr. Jonathan D. (Jody) Shapiro issued a short-term loan to
the Company for $100,000 at an interest rate of 10.25%. Principal and
interest was due on demand subject to certain terms and conditions. The loan
was secured by certain fixed assets of the Company. In November 1995, the
Company repaid the principal and accrued interest due to Mr. Shapiro. In
December, 1995, Mr. Shapiro again loaned the Company $50,000 under similar
terms and conditions of the first loan. As of February 5, 1996, the loan was
still outstanding.
NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT
The Company obtained a line of credit and term loan with Coast Business
Credit. The line of credit is for $750,000 and is based on valid trade
receivables. The term loan portion is also for $750,000, and will be due
three years from loan inception. The interest rate is approximately prime
+2.5% and 3%, respectively and minimum monthly payments of $25,000
will be due regardless of outstanding balances. The line of credit and term
loan are secured by the majority of the assets of the Company.
NOTE 6 - GERMAN LICENSING AGREEMENT
In November, 1995, the Company entered into a long-term licensing
agreement with Munich based BMG Ariola Muechen GmbH ("BMG") and Bavaria
Kopierwerk GmbH ("Bavaria") to represent CST's technology to a nine-country
network in Europe. As part of the agreement, BMG will install CST's patented
software at its studio facility in Munich and be linked to CST's facility via
phone lines. Services are expected to be on-line in the first quarter of
1996. In conjunction with the licensing agreement, the Company received a
$200,000 advance, and in turn recognized an expense for $160,000 based on the
terms of the agreement.
NOTE 7 - PATENT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT
On January 25, 1996, the Company announced that it had filed a lawsuit
against Silicon Graphics, Inc., Eastman Kodak Co. and LucosFilm, Ltd. that
alleges infringement of CST's patented technology entitled Priority Masking
Techniques for Video Special Effects. The patent was issued to CST by the
U.S. Patent & Trademark Office as U.S. Patent No. 4,642,676 on February 10,
1987.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of California, alleges that each of the defendants had been making, using
and/or selling devices that embody CST's proprietary technology and otherwise
inducing others to infringe its technology. CST is seeking an injunction to
halt further infringement, an accounting of damages and the payment of
attorney fees.
NOTE 8 - REPURCHASE OF ANIMATION SOFTWARE RIGHTS
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company repurchased the
animation rights to the software previously sold to Toreal Holdings Limited,
in consideration for which the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Coloring revenue for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995
decreased approximately 50%, as compared to 1994. At September 30, 1995, the
two colorizing projects included in work-in-process which were awaiting
customer approval for approximately $425,000 (188 minutes) were delivered.
Furthermore, in the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the Company delivered
over $1,000,000 of "The Little Rascals" colorized product (approximately 585
minutes), and over $1,800,000 (approximately 964 minutes) for the six months
ended December 31, 1994. There were no such significant coloring contracts
for the first six months of fiscal 1996, consistent with the Company's
diversification of its sales.
The increase in Licensing/royalty income in 1995 is due primarily to the
results of the Featurizations division. The Company did not complete any
projects for its Featurizations division during the quarter ended September
30, 1995. However, the Company did license its four previously completed
30-minute science fiction anthology segments (See Note 2). Furthermore,
during the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company completed and
delivered 16 episodes of programming. In addition, the Company also
recognized $200,000 in licensing revenue related to the BMG/Bavaria agreement
(See Note 6).
The decrease in software sales income for the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1995 is due to the sale of the Company's animation
software in December, 1994. The Company had no such sale in the quarter or
six months ended December 31, 1995.
The average price per minute delivered increased 22% and 37% in the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994. The
difference is the result of the Company steadily increasing its rates charged
for services.
Delivered minutes decreased 12% and 40% in the quarter and nine months
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994. Minutes produced decreased 10%
and 16% in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to
1994. The decreases in 1995 are attributable to the differences in the
Company's operations in 1995 as compared to 1994 as described above. Also, in
November 1995, the Company reduced its labor force by changing from three
eight-hour shifts to two eight-hour shifts.
The ratio of cost of production to color conversion revenue decreased 28%
and increased 15% in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 as
compared to 1994 and is partly attributable to the differences in the Company's
operations in 1995 as compared to 1994 as described above. This increase is
also due primarily to costs incurred in the completion of the
licensing projects in the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
The average cost of minute produced increased 9% and 12% in the quarter
and six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994 and is
attributable to the differences in the Company's operations in 1995 as
compared to 1994 as described above.
Production expense decreased significantly in the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1995 due to the change in the Company's revenue base. In
the quarter and six months ended, December 31, 1995, a significant portion of
the revenue was licensing and royalty income. As such, capitalizable costs
associated with these projects are being amortized in acordance with
Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 53.
Research and development costs decreased 39% and 25% in the quarter and
six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994. The decreases are
the result of more of the Company's research and development personnel in
1994 being deployed to provide alternative adaptions and enhancements of
animation and coloring software.
General and administrative expenses decreased 6% and 16% in the quarter
and six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 1994. The decreases
resulted mainly from the employment of fewer corporate personnel in the
Company's three additional operating divisions.
Participation and licensing expense increased for the quarter and six
months ended December 31, 1995, due to the new licensing agreements entered
in August and November, 1995 (See Note 2 and 6). In the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, the increase was due to the Company recording a $280,000
license fee expense in conjunction with the delivery of the four 30-minute
science fiction anthology segments described above. In the quarter ended
December 30, 1995, the Company recorded a $160,000 licensing expense in
conjunction with the foreign license agreement entered into with BMG/Bavaria.

Interest expense decreased 66% and 61% in the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994. The decrease is primarily the
result of interest costs incurred in financing arrangements entered into in
the quarter ended September 30, 1994 whereby Company receivables were sold at
discounted values. The decrease was slightly offset by the increase in
interest incurred on the note and loans payable.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 57% and 60% for the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995. The decrease is attributed
to the allocation of depreciation and amortization expense to production
products and many of the assets becoming fully depreciated during the current
and previous quarter. Depreciation and amortization expense before
capitalization to production products was $191,182 and $174,893 for the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995.
The increase in film amortization expense in the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1995 is a direct result of amortization costs associated
with licensing revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital position as of December 31, 1995 was a
positive $75,348 as compared to a negative $1,346,777 as of December 31,
1994. The Company has experienced significant negative cash flows from
operations and the Company's independent certified public accountants
included an explanatory paragraph in their last fiscal year-end report with
respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The following are the Company's plans for improving operations:
securement of production work; securement of working capital; production
capacity expansion; development of Featurization products and other products
for its own library; expansion of the Company's Color FX division; animation
"inking and painting" production; and animation software sales.
The Company has secured some contracts for color conversion work. The
Company continues to negotiate for contracts on substantial amounts of color
conversion work. Future color conversion revenues and profits are dependent
upon the successful attainment of these contracts, neither of which can be
assumed.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the Company completed the
color conversion of the final picture for credit under its commitment
obligation and recognized revenue of $273,258.
During the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Company expended
$22,185 on property and equipment for leasehold improvements and other
equipment. The Company anticipates it will have capital expenditures over
the next twelve months of between $100,000 and $300,000 for additional
work-stations and/or upgrade of current work-stations.
The Company expended $95,099 on the adaption of animation software for
alternative uses and $88,886 on the enhancement of coloring software in the
six months ended December 31, 1995. The Company expects to devote additional
resources in the current fiscal year for the production and enhancements of
its proprietary software.
During the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Company produced and
completed 16 productions for its film library. Furthermore, the Company
delivered the Science Fiction Anthology "Attack of the Killer "B" Movies" to
a foreign distributor. The Company anticipates future expenditures of $3 to
$4 million over the next twelve months for future library products.

Should the Company be successful in obtaining the contracts currently
under negotiation, the Company anticipates cash flows from operations to be
positive over the next twelve months. The Company believes it will cover any
needed cash requirements over the next twelve months through operating cash
flow, pre-sales of its library products, sales of software products,
placements of the Company's equity securities or other financing arrangements
which the Company is currently pursuing (See Note 5).
The Company received proceeds of $3,800 from the exercise of stock
options. The Company does not anticipate significant amounts of warrants or
employee stock options will be exercised in 1996 as the majority of the
Company's outstanding warrants and options are at an exercise price greater
than the current market price of the Company's common stock.
Future color conversion revenues and profits are dependent upon the
successful attainment of contracts currently in negotiations. The Company
has not yet attained annualized operating profitability. There can be no
assurance that the Company's efforts will be sufficiently successful to
ensure the ultimate viability of the Company.
