NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  Operating results for the three-month period ended October
31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending January 31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the audited
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1996.  Prior
period financial statements have been restated to reflect the acquisition on
June 28, 1996 of Satastar Corporate Services, Inc. which was accounted for as a
pooling of interests.  (See Note B)

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS

On April 4, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of all the capital stock
of Centercom, Inc. and Centercom South, Inc. (collectively "Centercom"), a
videotape duplicator with facilities in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois;
and Tampa, Florida.  The effective date of acquisition was April 1, 1995, and
was accounted for by the purchase method of the accounting and, accordingly,
results from operations have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from April 1, 1995.

The purchase price was $6,420,000 including $5,250,000 of cash and 180,000
shares of Vaughn Communications, Inc. common stock valued at $1,170,000.  In
addition, the selling shareholders of Centercom collectively will be paid
$200,000 a year for seven years under non-compete and consulting agreements.
Goodwill recorded in this transaction will be amortized over 15 years using the
straight-line method.

On January 1, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all
of the assets of Advanced Audio/Video Productions, Inc., a video tape duplicator
located in Denver, Colorado.  The acquisition has been accounted for by the
purchase method of accounting and the consolidated statement of income for the
year ended January 31, 1996 includes the results of Advanced Audio/Video from
January 1, 1996.

The purchase price was approximately $282,000 including a cash payment by the
Company of approximately $182,000 and long-term debt to the seller of $100,000.
Goodwill recorded in this transaction will be amortized over 15 years using the
straight-line method.

On January 31, 1996, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Indian Arts and Crafts, Inc., a gift product business located in
Seattle, Washington.  The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended January 31, 1996 reflect the purchase of the business, but do not include
any results from operations since the transaction was completed on the last day
of the fiscal year.

The purchase price was approximately $2,332,000 including approximately $82,000
of cash, 145,138 shares of Vaughn Communications, Inc. common stock valued at
$1,250,000, and long-term debt to the seller of $1,000,000.  Goodwill recorded
in this transaction will be amortized over 10 years using the straight-line
method.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

On June 28, 1996, the Company acquired Satastar Corporate Services, Inc. by the
issuance of 165,357 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding capital stock of Satastar.  The business combination has been
accounted for as a pooling of interest, and, accordingly, the financial
statements include the combined results of operations from the date Satastar
commenced operations.  The historical results of Satastar are not deemed to be
material to the Company's performance, therefore, the following relates to the
results of operations on a proforma basis only.

Net sales increased 3% in the third quarter of 1996 to $16,400,000, an increase
of $400,000 from the third quarter of 1995.  For the first nine months of 1996,
sales of $54,000,000 were $9,700,000, or 22% greater than the same period last
year.  Gross margins in the third quarter decreased slightly in 1996 to 32.2%
from 32.6% in 1995.  Year to date, gross margins have remained the same as the
prior year.  Operating expenses as a percentage of sales have increased to 25%
in the first nine months of 1996, from 19% in the same period of 1995, while
interest expense has decreased slightly in the first nine months of 1996 due to
lower borrowing levels.  Net income decreased 47% in the third quarter of 1996
to $344,000, while for the first nine months net income in 1996 increased 8% to
$1,652,000.  The contribution each division made to these results is discussed
below.

COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION

The Communications Division's net sales of $14,791,000 in the third quarter of
1996 were a slight increase over last year's third quarter sales of $14,779,000.
For the first nine months of 1996, sales were approximately $41,700,000, an 8%
increase over the previous year's sales of $38,500,000.  The majority of the
increase in sales over the previous year occurred in the first quarter, as sales
have been flat for the last six months.  Management believes that the slowdown
in sales occurred throughout the videotape duplication industry and that an
increase in sales growth will occur in the fourth quarter of 1996.  Gross
margins as a percentage of sales increased slightly in the third quarter of 1996
to 35% compared to 34% in the third quarter of 1995.  For the first nine months
of 1996, the gross margin was 33%, the same percentage as the comparable period
last year.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the
first nine months of 1996 to 26% compared to 24% in the first nine months of
1995.  The increase was due in part to additional costs associated with the
acquisition of Satastar, costs incurred in the opening of a new branch office in
Seattle, Washington, and costs associated with anticipated sales growth

The flat sales level, combined with an increase in operating expenses, resulted
in an 11% decrease in pretax income, from $1,364,000 in the third quarter of
1995 to $1,210,000 in the third quarter of 1996.  For the first nine months
pretax income decreased from $2,643,000 in 1995 to $2,198,000 in 1996.

PRODUCTS DIVISION

The Products Division's net sales increased 37% in the third quarter of 1996 to
$1,579,000.  Sales in the first nine months of 1996 were $12,262,000, a 114%
increase over the previous year.  The increase was due to the acquisition of
Indian Arts and Crafts (IAAC) on January 31, 1996.  Sales from the IAAC product
line were $6,977,000 for the first nine months of 1996 and offset an 8% decrease
in sales from the preexisting operations.  The operations of the Products
Division are seasonal, with approximately 80% of the sales occurring in the
first half of the year to serve the summer tourist industry.

Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased from 27% in the first nine
months of 1995 to 29% in 1996.  The improvement can be attributed to a slight
decrease in raw material costs and improved leveraging of fixed costs due to the
increase in sales.

                                        - 7 -

<PAGE>

The increased costs associated with the consolidation of operations in Seattle,
Washington resulted in a 79% increase in selling and administrative expenses in
the third quarter, from $387,000 in 1995 to $693,000 in 1996.  For the first
nine months operating expenses as a percentage of sales have decreased from 25%
in 1995 to 23% in 1996.

The pretax loss in the third quarter of 1996 was $611,000 compared to last
year's third quarter loss of $207,000.  The increase in the amount of  loss was
due primarily to the additional costs incurred in consolidating operations.
Pretax income for the first nine months of 1996 was $682,000 compared to $61,000
for the same period last year, due to the increase in sales and the improvement
in gross margins.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

The Company generated approximately $4,560,000 of cash from operating activities
in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $2,880,000 in the same period of
1995.  The increase was due primarily to improved working capital management.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity continue to be operating income,
long-term debt secured by specific equipment, and its revolving credit facility.
At October 31, 1996, approximately $10,000,000 of this facility was available.
The Company believes that the liquidity provided by the sources described above
will be adequate to meet its normal operating requirements over the near term.
The Company continues to investigate potential acquisitions, and depending on
the size and structure of the transaction, additional funding may be required.
As of November 30, 1996, no definitive agreements have been reached regarding
any such acquisitions.
