             NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             ------------------------------------------------------


GENERAL
- -------

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting of normal reccurring  accruals)
necessary  to present  fairly the  financial  position  of the  Company  and the
results of its operations and changes in its financial  position for the periods
reported.  The results of  operations  for interim  periods are not  necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Inventories  at December  31, 1997  consisted of $654,563 of raw  materials  and
service parts and $6,229,556 of finished goods.

The Market Exclusivity Fee of approximately  $974,000  represents the first four
installments  of a fee to be paid by the  Company  to  Loewe  Opta  GmbH for the
exclusive right to market and distribute  Loewe Opta direct view  televisions in
North America. The total fee will be amortized on a straight line basis over the
initial term of the agreement which ends on January 1, 2003.  Amortization  will
begin  with  deliveries  of product to the  Company,  anticipated  for the third
quarter of fiscal 1999.

Goodwill of approximately  $170,000 resulting from the April 1995 acquisition of
the predecesor to the Company's Security Products Division is being amortized on
the straight line basis over ten years.

The  Company  is engaged  in one  business  segment,  the  design,  development,
marketing and licensing of electronic video communication  products. The Company
currently  derives most of its revenues from the design,  marketing,  sale,  and
distribution of several models of its Dual-Deck  videocassette recorder. For the
nine months ended  December  31,  1997,  Sam's Club,  Circuit  City,  and Costco
Warehouse  represented 24%, 14%, and 10% of the Company's revenue  respectively.
Accounts  receivable  from Sam's Club,  Circuit City, and Costco  Warehouse were
$1,410,305, $1,012,903, and $600,811, respectively, at December 31, 1997.

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the prior financial  statements to
conform to the current classifications.

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  recently  issued  SFAS No.  130 on
"Reporting  Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131 on "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." The "Reporting  Comprehensive Income"
standard is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997. The
standard  changes  the  reporting  of certain  items  currently  reported in the
stockholder's  equity  section of the balance  sheet.  The Company is  currently
evaluating  what  impact  this  standard  will have on the  Company's  financial
statements.  The  "Disclosure  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information" standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. This standard  requires that public companies  report certain  information
about operating  segments in their  financial  statements.  It also  establishes
related  disclosures  about products and services,  geographic  areas, and major
customers.  The Company is currently  evaluating  what impact this standard will
have on its disclosures.

Results of Operations

Three  months  ended  December  31, 1997  compared  with the three  months ended
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 1996:
- ------------------

Net  sales  increased  21.7% to $14.2  million  during  the three  months  ended
December 31, 1997 from $11.7 million  during the three months ended December 31,
1996.  The  increase in net sales was  primarily  due to a 17% increase in units
sold of Dual-Deck  VCR's (DDVCR's) and the addition of $1.2 million of net sales
from the Company's  Security Product  Division.  The increase in net DDVCR units
sold and the increase in net sales of the Company's  Security  Products Division
was primarily due to the expansion of sales into the warehouse  clubs.  Sales of
the Company's Security Product Division were 8% of the total net sales.

Gross  profit was $3.8  million  and $3.3  million  for the three  months  ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing a 12.5% increase in gross
profit dollars. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.5% for
the three month  period  ended  December 31, 1997 from 28.6% for the three month
period ended  December 31, 1996. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of
sales was  primarily  due to a 3%  decrease  in  average  selling  prices of its
DDVCR's  during the three months ended  December 31, 1997  compared to the three
months ended  December 31, 1996  resulting  from a shift in sales mix toward the
Company's lower cost models.

Sales and marketing expense increased 39.5% to $1.6 million for the three months
ended  December 31, 1997 from $1.1  million for the three months ended  December
31, 1996. As a percentage of sales,  sales and marketing expenses increased from
9.7% in the three months ended  December 31, 1996,  to 11.2% in the three months
ended  December  31,  1997.  The  increase  in sales and  marketing  expense was
primarily due to a $320,000  adjustment recorded for bad debt expense for Nobody
Beats The Wiz, a retail  customer  of the Company  who filed for  bankruptcy  in
December,  and  higher  marketing  expenses  related  to  the  expansion  of the
Company's direct-to-consumer marketing activities.

Research  and  development  expense was $0.1  million for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 and the three months ended  December 31, 1996. As a percentage
of  sales,  research  and  development  expense  was 1.1% and 1.0% for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

General and  administrative  expense was $0.7 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. As a percentage  of net sales,  general
and  administrative  expense  decreased  from  6.2% for the three  months  ended
December 31, 1996 to 5.1% for the three months ended December 31, 1997.

As a result of the above,  the Company  recorded  operating profit of $1,305,815
for the three months ended December 31, 1997 compared with  operating  profit of
$1,345,333 for the three months ended  December 31, 1996.  The Company  recorded
net other  expense of $212,564  for the three  months  ended  December  31, 1997
compared  with net other  expense of  $288,643  for the same period of the prior
year. The decrease in net other expense was primarily due to the decrease in the
average effective interest rate on the Company's line of credit,  offset in part
by an increase in the average  daily loan  outstanding  during the three  months
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 1996.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1997 was $1,073,251  compared
with net income of $1,036,690  for the three months ended December 31, 1996. The
Company  recorded a provision  for income  taxes of $20,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996
                                       11

representing its estimated alternative minimum tax liability.

Nine months ended December 31, 1997 compared with the nine months ended December
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31, 1996:
- ---------

Net sales increased 24.0% to $36.3 million during the nine months ended December
31, 1997 from $29.3 million  during the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The
increase  in net  sales  was  primarily  due to a 30%  increase  in net units of
DDVCR's  sold for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997  compared to the nine
months  ended  December  31,  1996,  offset in part by a 6%  decrease in average
revenue  per  unit for the two  periods.  The  increase  in net  units  sold was
primarily  due to  increased  demand  for the  Company's  current  model line of
DDVCR's,   particularly  the  Company's  lowest-priced  DDVCR  models,  and  the
expansion of sales into  warehouse  clubs.  Net sales of the Company's  Security
Products  Division were  approximately 6% of total net sales for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997.

Gross  profit  was $9.2  million  and $7.4  million  for the nine  months  ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing a 26.9% increase in gross
profit dollars. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to higher
unit sales of the current DDVCR model lines.  Gross margins  generally  remained
consistent with the comparable period,  increasing slighty to 25.5% for the nine
month period ended  December 31, 1997 from 25.1% for the nine month period ended
December 31, 1996.

Sales and marketing  expense increased 26.8% to $3.7 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 from $2.9 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1996. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses increased from 9.9%
in the nine months ended  December  31, 1996,  to 10.2% in the nine months ended
December 31, 1997. The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily due
to an  adjustment  of $320,000  for bad debt expense for Nobody Beats The Wiz, a
retail  customer of the Company who filed for bankruptcy in December,  increased
marketing for the Security Products Division,  and increased  commission expense
due to higher sales.

Research and development  expenses  increased 64.3% to $0.7 million for the nine
months  ended  December  31, 1997 from $0.4  million  for the nine months  ended
December 31, 1996. As a percentage of sales,  research and  development  expense
increased  from 1.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 to 1.8% for the
nine months ended  December 31, 1997.  The increase in research and  development
expense was primarily due to increased  personnel expense and increased expenses
incurred in connection  with the Company's  development  of digital  direct view
televisions.

General and administrative expenses increased 20.0% to $2.3 million for the nine
months  ended  December  31, 1997 from $1.9  million  for the nine months  ended
December 31, 1996. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative  expense
decreased  from 6.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 to 6.3% for the
nine months ended December 31, 1997. The increase in general and  administrative
expense was primarily due to increased  personnel  expense and increased  travel
during the nine months ended December 31, 1997.

As a result of the above,  the Company  recorded  operating profit of $2,613,963
for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997 compared with  operating  profit of
$2,137,368 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The Company recorded net
other  expense of $494,906 for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997 compared
with net other  expense of $600,287  for the same period of the prior year.  The
decrease in net other  expense is  primarily  due to the decrease in the average
effective interest rate on its line of credit,  offset in part by an increase in
the average  daily loan  outstanding  during the nine months ended  December 31,
1997 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1996.

<PAGE>
Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was  $2,084,057  compared
with net income of $1,517,081  for the nine months ended  December 31, 1996. The
Company  recorded a  provision  for income  taxes of $35,000 and $20,000 for the
nine  months  ended  December  31, 1997 and  December  31,  1996,  respectively,
representing its estimated alternative minimum tax liability.

Seasonality
- -----------

The Company's  primary  product lines  compete  within the consumer  electronics
industry,  which generally  experience  seasonality in sales.  Accordingly,  the
Company  generally  expects  to  experience  peaks in its sales  from  September
through December, which covers the holiday selling season.

Future Results
- --------------

The Company's  expectations for results of operations and other  forward-looking
statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q, particularly the timing of the
Loewe  Opta GmbH  product  introduction  and the  successful  completion  of the
California  Audio Labs  transaction  and the  integration  of the two companies,
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could affect
future  operating  results are the  following:  business  conditions and general
economic  conditions;  competitive  factors,  such as the pricing and  marketing
efforts  of  rival  companies;  timing  of  product  introductions;  success  of
competing  technologies;  ability to  negotiate  reduced  product  manufacturing
costs;   and  the  pace  and  success  of  product   research  and  development,
particularly  with  overseas  distributors  of the Dual-Deck and the direct view
digital television development with Loewe Opta GmbH.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------

Net cash provided by operating  activities  was $0.2 million for the nine months
ended  December 31, 1997 compared to cash provided by operations of $1.3 million
for the nine months  ended  December  31,  1996.  The more  significant  factors
comprising  the net cash  provided  were $2.1  million  of net  income  and $0.5
million  of  depreciation  and  amortization  offset  in part by a $1.9  million
increase in inventory. The increase in the inventory balance from March 31, 1997
to December  31, 1997 was  primarily  due to the  increased  number of inventory
models carried by the Company at December 31, 1997 compared to March 31, 1997.

The Company had net working capital of $8.8 million and $7.0 million at December
31, 1997 and March 31, 1997,  respectively.  At December 31, 1997, the Company's
current ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was 2.6 to 1.

The  Company's  sales  seasonality  requires  incremental  working  capital  for
investment primarily in inventories and receivables, which the Company currently
funds through a line of credit with Congress Financial.  The financing agreement
was entered  into in October  1992 and was last  amended in November  1996.  The
maximum line of credit,  as amended,  is $14.0  million,  limited by a borrowing
base determined by specific  inventory and receivable  balances and provides for
cash  loans,  letters of credit and  acceptances.  The  agreement,  as  amended,
expires in November 1999 with a prepayment (if  applicable)  fee of 1.0%.  Loans
are  priced  at the  lender's  prime  lending  rate  plus  1.0%.  The  lender is
collateralized  by all assets of the Company.  The unused and available  line of
credit  at  December  31,  1997 was  approximately  $7.1  million.  The  Company
capitalized  $0.5  million  of closing  costs  related  to the  origination  and
amendment  of the  financing  agreement.  These  costs were fully  amortized  at
December 31, 1997.  Management  believes its current  financial  resources to be
adequate to support operations over the next twelve months.

The Company sold $1.5  million of  convertible  subordinated  notes in a private
placement with  institutional  holders in August 1996. Notes  outstanding  after
August 1999 must be converted to
                                       13
<PAGE>
common stock at the option of the Company.  As of December 31, 1997, $375,000 of
the notes had been converted into common stock.

The Company entered into an agreement with Loewe Opta GmbH of Kronach,  Bavaria,
Germany,  to develop and market a line of digital  television  products designed
specifically for the North American Market.  The initial  agreement is effective
through  January 1, 2003 with built in five year  extensions.  The Company  will
incur fees totaling  $1.7 million and Deutsche  Marks  1,050,000  (approximately
$580,000  as of  February  12,  1998)  for the  exclusive  right to  market  and
distribute  Loewe Opta direct view  televisions  in North  America.  The fee, as
structured,  is due in installments  through August 1998. The Company expects to
receive the first  shipments of product  from Loewe during the third  quarter of
its fiscal year 1999.

The Company  announced on January 4, 1998 that it intends to acquire  California
Audio  Labs,  LLC.   California  Audio  designs,   develops,   manufactures  and
distributes  digital audio and video products  marketed to the  high-performance
home theater market under the California  Audio Labs and Cinevision brand names.
The  anticipated  purchase  price is $775,000 plus  assumption of liabilities of
$1.3 million. The closing of the transaction is subject to the parties executing
a definitive  purchase  agreement,  entering into a manufacturing  and licensing
agreement, and other standard conditions. The Company expects to incur increased
expenses related to the integration and development of the California Audio Labs
business.

The Company leases a 33,000 square foot executive office and warehouse  facility
in north Scottsdale, Arizona, which is fully utilized and in good condition. The
lease began in January 1996 and has a term of seven  years,  with one three year
extension at the option of the Company. The Company is currently considering its
space requirements in relation to its business plan which anticipates  increased
needs for personnel,  office, and warehousing space. As such, the Company may be
required to seek additional  space,  which would increase the Company's  overall
rental costs.

Inflation has had no material  effect on the  Company's  operations or financial
condition.
