                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the shareholders of miro Computer Products AG:


   
We have  audited the  accompanying  combined  statements  of certain  assets and
liabilities  of the  Digital  Video  Editing  (DVE)  division  of miro  Computer
Products AG (the "Division", as described in Footnote 1) as of December 31, 1995
and 1996 and the related  combined  statements of revenues and expenses and cash
flows for the three years then ended. These statements are the responsibility of
the management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
    

We conducted  our audit in  accordance  with U.S.  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable   assurance  about  whether  the  statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the statements.  An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As  discussed  more fully in Note 3, the Division was sold on August 29, 1997 to
Pinnacle Systems, Inc., a California corporation.

   
In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, certain assets and liabilities of the Division as of December 31, 1995
and 1996 and its  statements  of revenues  and  expenses  and cash flows for the
three years then ended in conformity  with U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                     (As described in footnote 1)

              Notes to the Combined Financial Statements


NOTE 1

Principles of Combination

The combined statements of certain assets and liabilities include certain assets
and  liabilities of the Digital Video Editing (DVE) Division (the  "Division" or
"DVE") of miro  Computer  Products  AG ("miro  AG") and miro AG's  wholly  owned
subsidiaries in the United States,  France,  The Netherlands and United Kingdom.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Refer to Note 2,
Basis of Presentation.

Company

The DVE Division of miro AG designs,  develops,  manufactures  and sells certain
digital video products.


NOTE 2

Basis of Presentation

The combined statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles and are stated in U.S. dollars.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

As a result of the DVE's  relationship  with miro AG the financial  position and
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have
occurred,  had the  Division  been a  stand-alone  entity.  Additionally,  these
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of future financial position
or results of operations.

Combined statement of certain assets and liabilities 

The combined  statements of certain assets and liabilities  consist of the items
being  sold  to  or  assumed  by  Pinnacle  and  other  assets  and  liabilities
specifically  identifiable  or allocable to the DVE  Division,  but that are not
being sold to Pinnacle.

The assets and liabilities sold to or assumed by Pinnacle include:

o     all  tangible  property  (such as  machinery,  equipment,  inventory,  raw
      materials,  supplies,  manufactured and purchased parts, work in progress,
      finished goods, furniture, automobiles and tools), relating to the Digital
      Video Group Assets;

o     the  capital  stock of (i) miro  Computer  Products  SARL,  a  corporation
      organized  under the laws of France and a wholly-owned  subsidiary of miro
      AG, and (ii) miro Computer Products BV, a corporation  organized under the
      laws of The Netherlands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of miro AG;

o     certain  accounts   receivable  of  miro  Computer   Products  Inc.,  USA,
      pertaining  to  the  Digital Video Group Assets in an amount equal to U.S.
      $150,000.

The liabilities sold or assumed by Pinnacle are limited to:

o     all  liabilities  of miro AG under certain  employee  benefit plans to the
      extent such contracts are assumed by the buyers; and

o     existing  obligations  of the sellers to perform end user warranty  repair
      and  replacement  services for products  sold on or prior to the effective
      date.

The agreement  states that the  liabilities of the acquired  subsidiaries  shall
remain liabilities of these subsidiaries.

Other specifically  identifiable  assets and liabilities  related to miro AG but
not being sold to Pinnacle mainly include:  land, buildings and related property
owned  by  miro  AG  in  Braunschweig,  furniture  and  fixtures  of  miro  AG's
Braunschweig  facilities,  remaining  accounts  receivable  in  excess  of  U.S.
$150,000 and other miscellaneous assets and the majority of all liabilities.


Combined statement of revenues and expenses

The combined statements of revenue and expenses reflect substantially all of the
DVE  Division's  revenues  and  expenses  associated  with the normal  course of
business.  These costs include direct expenses and certain expenses  incurred by
miro AG on the DVE Division's behalf. Refer to Note 5, Supplementary Information
on the Basis of Allocation,  for further details. Expenses that are not incurred
for the benefit of the DVE Division are not allocated.

NOTE 3

Asset Purchase Agreement

On August 29, 1997, miro AG entered into an agreement (the  "Agreement") to sell
certain  assets,  liabilities  and  obligations  of the DVE division to Pinnacle
including  all of the issued and  outstanding  stock of miro  Computer  Products
SARL,  a  corporation  organized  under  the laws of  France  and miro  Computer
Products  BV, a  corporation  organized  under the law of The  Netherlands.  The
assets  sold  included,  among  other  things,  various  machinery,   equipment,
inventory, books and records, intellectual and intangible property.

miro AG has no financial  interest in the DVE division after the date of sale to
Pinnacle  except to  settle  outstanding  liabilities  and  collect  outstanding
receivables  which were not sold to Pinnacle.  In  addition,  miro AG may remain
liable  after  the sale to  Pinnacle  for  certain  known and  unknown  existing
obligations and liabilities that are not transferred to and assumed by Pinnacle.

In connection  with the Asset Purchase  Agreement  Pinnacle signed a service and
rent  agreement  with miro AG for  certain  service  and  office  facilities  at
Braunschweig.


NOTE 4

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and cash Equivalents

For purposes of the  Statement of Cash Flow,  the Division  considers all highly
liquid financial investments purchased with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.

Valuation of Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
moving average method for all inventories. Inventory costs consist of materials,
labor and factory overhead.

Fixed assets, amortization and maintenance

Fixed assets,  consisting of machinery and  equipment,  are stated at cost.  The
company   computes   depreciation   on  fixed  assets  using   principally   the
straight-line method. The estimated useful lives used in computing  depreciation
range from 3 to 10 years for machinery and office  equipment.  Expenditures  for
maintenance and repairs are expensed; expenditures for renewals and improvements
are generally capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the related cost
and accumulated  depreciation or amortization  are removed from the accounts and
any gain or loss is  recognized.  In the  event  that  facts  and  circumstances
indicate that assets may be impaired,  an evaluation of recoverability  would be
performed.

Intangible assets

Research and  development  costs,  including  costs  incurred to  establish  the
technological  feasibility of computer software products to be sold, are charged
to income as incurred. Once the technological  feasibility of a software product
has been established, costs of coding, testing and producing product masters are
capitalized.  Capitalization  ceases and amortization begins when the product is
available  for release.  Amortization  generally  is based on the straight  line
method over  periods  ranging  from 1 to 3 years.  The net  realizable  value of
unamortized  costs is evaluated based on the estimated  future revenues from the
software  product,  net of estimated future costs of completing and disposing of
the software product.  Unamortized software costs were $1,047,000 and $1,044,000
at the end of 1996 and 1995, respectively. Amortization was $ 919,607, $ 790,182
and $ 669,459 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.


Foreign currency translation

For the European  operations  of the  Company,  the  functional  currency is the
applicable local currency.  The accounts of these operations are translated into
United  States  dollars  as  follows:  all  asset  and  liability  accounts  are
translated at year-end  exchange rates;  income and expense items are translated
at  the  average  exchange  rates  during  the  year.   Cumulative   translation
adjustments resulting from such translation of the financial statements of these
operations   to  United  States   dollars  are  included  in  assets   exceeding
liabilities.


Income taxes

The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 109  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes".  This  standard
requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and income tax
reporting based on enacted tax rates.


Revenue recognition

The  company`s  revenues are composed of product sales and other  revenues.  The
Company records product sales when the goods are sold to a customer. Service and
other revenues are recorded at the time the services are performed.

Highly liquid financial investments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents,  receivables, accounts payable
and  short-term  debt  approximate  the fair market values due to the short-term
maturities of these instruments.

NOTE 5

Supplementary information on the basis of allocation

Generally,  miro AG had not prepared separate  financial  statements for the DVE
division in the past.

miro's operations are composed of the display, the  multimedia/graphics  and the
DVE  division.  The  accompanying  statements  of certain  assets,  liabilities,
revenues and expenses  relating to the DVE division had to be  identified  on an
item-by-item basis or allocated to the DVE division from miro AG by a reasonable
method.

Inventories,  sales  and  cost  of  sales  relating  to the  DVE  division  were
individually  identifiable  whereas the remaining assets and liabilities and the
remaining operating, general and administrative expenses of the DVE division had
to be allocated.

The method of allocation mainly used the following criteria:

Accounts receivables of the DVE division are derived from the related identified
sales portion of consolidated miro sales.

Fixed assets of miro AG are allocated to the DVE division  using the  percentage
of DVE  employees  compared  to total  headcount  at  Braunschweig  based on the
assumption  that most of the fixed assets can be allocated based on the usage by
the divisions'  employees.  For  subsidiaries for which the business is only the
distribution of products, the DVE sales portion had been used. Although specific
identification  of the assets to be sold has not been completed and is therefore
subject to change,  management estimates that the book value of such assets will
approximate the amount  determined in the manner described  above.  Depreciation
expense related to fixed assets of miro AG that are used by the DVE division but
not being sold and interest expense on debt secured by such assets are allocated
to the DVE division  but not being sold and interest  expense on debt secured by
such assets are  allocated  to the DVE  division  using the  approach  described
above.

Accounts  payable are allocated in relation to the percentage of DVE inventories
to total inventories.

Short-term  borrowings  are  allocated  to the DVE  division  in relation to the

Miro AG and all its subsidiaries  presently prepare  individual tax returns;  no
tax pooling or consolidated tax returns had been filed in the past. Accordingly,
the DVE  division  calculated  the current and deferred  taxes,  for purposes of
these  statements,  as if it filed individual tax returns for each  consolidated
DVE entity regardless to the fact that certain legal entities realized losses in
1995 and subsequent years.

Corporate  income tax rate on miro AG's results in Germany are  depending on the
actual decision to distribute or retain earnings;  these rates are 30 percent or
45 percent, respectively.  Considering  also the municipal trade tax the Company
has assumed an income tax rate of 50 percent for the income of the DVE  division
in Germany and its European  subsidiaries  and 40 percent for the income of miro
Inc., USA.  Deferred tax assets have been considered for miro Inc. on its losses
in 1994 and 1995.

Differences  between  the 50 percent  tax rate in Germany  and the  consolidated
effective tax rates are due to  differences  between the German tax rate and the
tax rates in other countries.

Deferred  income  taxes were  provided  when tax laws and  financial  accounting
standards  differ with  respect to the amount of income  calculated  for a given
year and the  basis of  assets  and  liabilities.  Generally,  income  taxes are
ultimately paid by and are the  responsibility  of miro AG and each of its legal
subsidiaries.  In fact,  as a result of the  losses in 1995 and 1996,  no income
taxes had to be paid by miro AG.

Deferred  income taxes of U.S.  $524,000 and U.S.  $522,000 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, relate to the amortization of software development cost.

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The interim financial  statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
     (consisting  only of normal  recurring  accruals)  that,  in the opinion of
     management,  are necessary for a fair  presentation  of the results for the
     interim  periods.  The results of operations for the current interim period
     are not  necessarily  indicative  of results to be expected for the current
     year or any other period.

     These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
     annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.   Inventories

     Inventories as of June 30, 1997, consisted of the following (in thousands):

     Raw materials.............................     $1,377

               Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information
                                   (Unaudited)

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed  financial  statements give
effect  to  the  acquisition  by  Pinnacle  Systems,  Inc.  ("Pinnacle"  or  the
"Company") of certain assets and  assumption of certain  liabilities of the miro
Digital Video  Editing  Division  ("Miro")  from Miro Computer  Products AG in a
business  combination  accounted for by the purchase  method.  The unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial  statements are based on historical financial
statements of Pinnacle as of June 30, 1997.

         The unaudited pro forma combined  condensed  balance sheet gives effect
to the  business  combination  as if it had  occurred  on  June  30,  1997.  The
unaudited pro forma combined  condensed  statement of operations gives effect to
the business  combination  as if it had occurred on July 1, 1996.  The pro forma
adjustments are based upon available  information and certain  assumptions  that
management  believes are reasonable under the  circumstances.  In the opinion of
management,  all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly
the pro forma data.  Final amounts  could differ from those set forth below.  In
the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  recorded  a charge  of
$16,960,000  representing  the fair value of in process research and development
acquired from Miro. Such charge has not been included in the unaudited pro forma
combined condensed statement of operations.

         The following  unaudited pro forma condensed  financial  statements are
not necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of the Company or
the results of  operations  which would have  resulted  had the Company and Miro
been combined during the period  presented.  In addition,  the pro forma results
are not intended to be a projection of future  results.  The unaudited pro forma
combined condensed  financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated  financial statements of Pinnacle for the year ended June 30, 1997,
and the financial statements of Miro appearing elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

                      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
                         CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.    Basis of Presentation

         On August 31, 1997,  Pinnacle  completed the purchase of certain assets
and the assumption of certain liabilities of Miro, pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement  dated  August  29,  1997  (the  Agreement).  Under  the  terms of the
Agreement,  the Company will pay  approximately  $15.2 million in cash and issue
approximately  203,565  shares  of common  stock  valued  at $4.4  million.  The
Agreement  also  includes an  "earnout"  in which Miro will  receive  additional
consideration if the acquired  operating group achieves certain sales and profit
levels  during  the  earnout  period,  which is the  first  twelve  full  months
following the acquisition.  Specifically,  the earnout  consideration will equal
50% of sales  generated in excess of $37 million during the earnout  period,  as
long as operating  profit  exceeds 3% of sales,  increasing  to 85% of sales for
those sales  which  exceed $59 million  during the  earnout  period,  as long as
operating profit exceeds 3% of sales. In the event such amounts are earned, such
earnout  payments  will be paid in common stock of the Company,  and  additional
goodwill will be recorded.  The Pinnacle  statement of  operations  for the year
ended June 30, 1997,  has  been combined  with the Miro  statement of operations
for the twelve-month  period ended June 30, 1997,  giving effect to the business
combination  as if it had  occurred  on July 1,  1996.  The pro  forma  combined
condensed  balance  sheet as of June 30,  1997,  gives  effect  to the  business
combination as if it had occurred on June 30, 1997.

Note 2.     Pro Forma Adjustments

         Under purchase  accounting,  the total purchase price will be allocated
to the Company's  assets and  liabilities  based on their  relative fair values.
Allocations   are  subject  to  valuations  as  of  the  date  of  the  purchase
transaction.  The amount and  components of the estimated  purchase  price along
with the  preliminary  allocation  of the  estimated  purchase  price to  assets

         Net assets acquired........................................... $20,607
                                                                        =======

         The  Company  recorded  a charge of  $16,960,000  for the fair value of
acquired in process research and development related to the net assets acquired.
Such charge has not been included in the unaudited pro forma combined  condensed
statement of  operations.  The pro forma  adjustments  applied to the historical
statement of operations to arrive at the pro forma combined condensed  statement
of operations reflects  amortization expense of $624,000 related to goodwill and
other   intangibles.   The  pro  forma  adjustments  also  reflect   incremental
depreciation  expense of $114,000  associated  with the  adjustment  in basis of
