Accumulated depreciation and amortization pertaining to rental equipment
amounted to $3,587,000 in 1998 and $3,065,000 in 1997.


NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has a $2,500,000 credit facility with Foothill Capital Corporation
("Foothill"), consisting of (1) $1,250,000 term loan, (2) $750,000 revolving
line of credit and (3) $500,000 finished goods inventory line of credit, with
interest at reference rate plus 2% (effective rate of 10.5% at June 30 ,1998),
maturing January 15, 2000. The term loan requires monthly principal reductions
of $25,000. Outstanding balances at September 30, 1998 totaled $918,000,
$734,500 and $423,516 under the term loan, revolving credit facility and
finished goods inventory line, respectively.

As part of the purchase of PSA and Akela (completed in April and June 1998,
respectively), Foothill provided $2.25 million in funding, amortizing over sixty
months, with interest at reference rate plus 2% (effective rate of 10.5% at
September 30, 1998). The outstanding balance at September 30, 1998 was
$2,144,000.

All the Foothill loans are cross-collateralized and are secured by substantially
all of the assets of the Company.

The Company is financing its remaining obligation on its purchase of the
worldwide rights to the "Enlouva" patents and trademark over thirty-five equal
monthly installments of $1,000, including



                                      -7-

                      CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

interest at 10%. The note matures December, 1999.

The Company is obligated under a promissory note due to the former shareholders
of PSA of $500,000, bearing interest at 8% payable quarterly, principal all due
and payable April, 2001. The note is secured by a subordinate lien on the
purchased assets.

The Company is obligated under a promissory note due to the former shareholders
of Fluid Images, Inc. of $750,000, bearing interest at 10%, interest payable
quarterly, with annual principal payments of $250,000. The note is unsecured.

The Company has a $250,000 unsecured obligation to the former majority
shareholder of the Company, bearing interest at the Bank of Boston reference
rate (8.5% at September 30, 1998) which was due and payable together with
accrued interest thereon on April 11, 1998. Demand has been made on the note,
and discussions have been initiated concerning extensions and accommodations.

In January, 1998 the Company financed the purchase of Third Encore by its wholly
owned subsidiary, Shotmaker Sound, Inc., with a $150,000 convertible promissory
note, interest payable monthly at reference rate plus 2% (10.5% at September 30,
1998), with principal due January, 1999. The principal amount of the note is
convertible into up to 600,000 share of the Company's common stock upon fifteen
days prior written notice. The holder of the note has asserted a default and
demanded payment in full. The Company believes the default was cured, and is
negotiating with the noteholder.


NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Beginning in September, 1998, a principal shareholder of the Company agreed to
provide sufficient funding (approximately $200,000) to VA Industries, the
manufacturer of the Company's new hydraulic dolly, to complete the first
production run of twelve dollies. In addition, the shareholder has provided
funds to the Company for working capital purposes. The VA Industries loan is
being administered by the Company, and is secured by the construction in process
of the dollies at VA Industries and by a pledge of the shares Shotmaker Sound,
Inc., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary.


NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments
In 1993, the Company entered into a five-year distribution agreement with
Panther GmbH. This agreement may be extended annually for up to eight years if
certain conditions are met at the end of the distribution term and subsequent
annual extension periods. The first extension of this agreement has been
exercised by the Company, and negotiations with Panther regarding the extension
are underway. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has been granted exclusive



                                      -8-

                      CAMERA PLATFORMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

distribution rights for all Panther products in North and South America. The
distribution agreement has certain minimum purchase requirements. The Company
has met it minimum requirements under the agreement.


NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income taxes. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the
differences are expected to reverse. At September 30, 1998, the Company has
federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $23 million for tax
purposes, which expire from 2000 to 2011. Because of statutory ownership
changes, the amount of net operating losses which may be utilized in future
years is subject to significant annual limitations. The Company has California
net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7 million for tax purposes,
which expire from 1997 to 2001. The Company also has federal research and
development credits of approximately $64,000, expiring in 2001 and 2002, which
may be used to offset future tax liabilities. At September 30, 1998, total
deferred tax assets, consisting principally of net operating loss carry
forwards, amounted to approximately $8 million. For financial reporting
purposes, a valuation allowance has been recognized in an amount equal to such
deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding their ultimate
realization.

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate principally
due to the valuation allowance recognized due to the uncertainty surrounding the
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.


NOTE 9 -  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 10 and 11, 1998 the Company and Foothill held an auction of
substantially all of the equipment which had been acquired from PSA in May,
1998. The Company was advanced $300,000 by the auctioneers against proceeds from
the sale. Preliminary auction figures indicate that the auction will net
sufficient funds to repay Foothill's lien, and pay the auctioneer's fees and
expenses, including the advance.

Based on these preliminary results, the Company expects to record a $450,000
loss on disposition of the assets in the fourth quarter.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Unaudited)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In October, 1997, the Company obtained a $2.5 million credit facility
from Foothill Capital Corporation consisting of a $1,250,000 term loan, a
$750,000 revolving line of credit and a $500,000 inventory equipment line of
credit. The loan matures in January, 2000. Subsequently, Foothill provided
financing for the acquisitions of Production Services-Atlanta ("PSA") and Fluid
Images, Inc.("Akela"), totaling $2.25 million. The loans require monthly
principal reductions in the amount of $62,500, together with monthly interest
payments. By agreement with Foothill Capital, certain principal and interest
payments were not current at September 30, 1998.

         The Company believes that working capital and continued operations will
be impaired unless the Company realizes a significant improvement in sales and
rentals in the fourth quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following analysis compares the three months ended September 30,
1998, with the three months ended September 30, 1997, and the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, with the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

Third quarter 1998 results compared with third quarter 1997

         The Company's revenue for the third quarter decreased by 3% compared
with the same period of 1997. However, excluding rental revenues associated with
the Atlanta/Nashville operation (since closed), the Akela crane rentals, and
Shotmaker Sound (Third Encore), revenues decreased 44%. Dolly, crane and
accessory rentals were down 42% compared with the same period last year, while
camera car rentals decreased by 39%.

         Dolly, crane and accessory sales revenues decreased 48% from $309,000
to $159,000, while the gross margin on sales increased to 63% in the third
quarter of 1998 from 39% in the same period of 1997.

         The gross margin decreased from $85,000 in 1997 to $(195,000) in 1998,
due to a combination of lower revenues on rentals of camera cars, dollies and
cranes in the North Hollywood operation, and the increased costs associated with
the operations in Nashville/Atlanta and New York (both since closed) and the
Akela crane, relative to their revenue contributions.

         Selling and general and administrative expenses increased approximately
100% over the

same quarter of 1997. The increase was primarily due to the effect in the third
quarter of 1997 of a credit to legal expenses associated with recognizing the
contribution of Cinemeccanica Italiana, Srl., and offsetting previously
recognized legal expenses associated with the Company's successful defense of a
patent infringement suit brought against Cinemeccanica by Leonard Studio
Equipment Inc. and defended by the Company.

         The Company continued to experience foreign currency exchange gains
because of the strength of the U.S. Dollar against European currencies.

         The net loss for the quarter was $650,000 compared with income of
$10,000 for the same period of 1997.

Nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared with nine months ended September
30, 1997

         The Company's year-to-date revenues were 10% lower than 1997. Excluding
the revenues of Atlanta/Nashville, New York, Akela, and Shotmaker Sound,
however, revenues decreased by 46%. Year-to-date sales of dollies, cranes and
accessories decreased $977,000, or 66%. Camera car rental revenues decreased
$268,000, or 34%. North Hollywood dolly and crane rentals decreased 5%
year-to-date.

          Cost of camera car rentals increased from 68% of revenues in 1997 to
101% of revenues in 1998, because of the fixed nature of departmental costs and
the significantly lower revenue base. Cost of sales of dolly and cranes rentals
in North Hollywood decreased from 116% of revenues in 1997 to 108% in 1997.
Departmental expenses were down 13%.

         Year-to-date, Atlanta/Nashville, New York and Akela had rental expenses
of $960,000 on revenues of $491,000.

         Selling expenses were $27,000 lower than the same period in 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased by $448,000. Advertising,
depreciation, insurance, legal and accounting, payroll, and travel expenses
increased across the board.

         Interest expense increased from 47,000 in 1997 to $335,000 in 1998, due
to the debt incurred in the acquisitions of PSA and Fluid Images, as well as the
increased debt the Company has incurred to fund ongoing operational losses.

         The year-to-date net loss of $1,840,000 well exceeds the $156,000 loss
experienced by the Company for the first nine months of 1997.

International Sales

         International sales are not a material component of the Company's total
revenues.

Inflation

         Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's operations to
date, and the Company believes it will not have a material effect on operations
in the next twelve months.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Litigation.

         As previously reported, the Company prevailed on July 10, 1997 in an
action brought by Leonard Studio Equipment, Inc. (manufacturers of the Chapman
dolly line) against Cinemeccanica Italiana, Srl., designers of the Company's
?Blue? line of dollies. Leonard Studio Equipment, Inc. filed an appeal in the
matter. On October 19, 1998, the Company learned that the appeal by Leonard
Studio Equipment was unsuccessful.

         On July 2, 1997, the platform of a Panther Pegasus crane which had been
leased by the Company to Mighty Joe Young Productions, Inc. (?MJY?) fell,
injuring the two operators who were on the platform. The Company's insurance
carrier has assumed the defense of the matter, which is in the preliminary
stages of litigation. The Company is vigorously defending against the claims,
and believes that the cause of the accident was due to operator error. In
addition to its own insurance policies, the Company is an additional named
insured on the policies of MJY with respect to the lease of the crane.
Management believes that exposure, if any, is fully covered by insurance.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

         The Company filed a report on Form 8-K dated June 11, 1998, disclosing
the purchase of Fluid Images, Inc. and its subsequent liquidation into the
Company. The report included no audited financial statements as required.

         The Company filed a report on Form 8-K/A dated August 11, 1998 to amend
the report dated June 11, 1998 by providing two years audited financial
statements as required.

         The Company filed a report on Form 8-K dated June 23, 1998, disclosing
the action without meeting of the majority shareholder to reduce and
subsequently reappoint the Board of Directors of the Company.
