NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996


1. In the opinion of Graff  Pay-Per-View Inc. and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries
and  majority-owned  affiliates (the "Company"),  the accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal
recurring  accruals)  necessary to present  fairly the financial  position as of
June 30, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six
months then ended.

2.       The results of operations for the three and six  months ended June 30,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
year.

3. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures
normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted   accounting   principles   have  been  condensed  or  omitted.   These
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's  December 31,
1995 annual report on Form 10K/A-1.

     4. In early  1995,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with AT&T to
provide satellite  services for its domestic  networks.  The purpose of this new
agreement was twofold:  1) to replace the existing service provider which was at
a  much  higher  per  transponder  rate  and,  2) to  transition  the  Company's
transponder  requirements  to  AT&T's  new  Telstar  402R  satellite  which  was
scheduled to be in  operation by December  1995.  During the  transition  period
(which  occurred  in the  first  half of 1995)  the  Company  incurred  from the
existing satellite provider  approximately $1.0 million of added satellite costs
by  providing  dual  satellite   coverage  to  its  customers  thereby  ensuring
continuous  service.  The accounting  treatment  accorded these additional costs
during the interim  periods of 1995 was  inconsistent  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  Accordingly,  the Company has  restated  the  quarterly
results of operations for 1995. The effect of this restatement was to reduce net
income for the six months and three  months  ended June 30, 1995 by $0.6 million
or $.05  per  share  and $0.3  million  or $.02 per  share,  respectively.  This
restatement  will  continue  for the third and fourth  quarters of 1995 when the
reduction  of net income  reflected  during the first half of 1995 will  reverse
itself.

     In addition,  in the second quarter of 1995,  The Home Video Channel,  Ltd.
("HVC") the Company's  wholly-owned  U.K.  subsidiary  received  free  satellite
services  as an  inducement  from  its  satellite  provider  to  move  from  one
transponder to another within the same  satellite  grouping.  The free satellite
time was not  reflected in the 1995  financial  statements  in  accordance  with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Accordingly,  the Company has also
restated  the  results of  operation  for 1995 to  properly  reflect  these free
satellite services.  The effect of this restatement was to reduce net income for
both the six months and three months ended June 30, 1995 by $0.2 million or $.02
per share.

the three and six  months  ended June 30,  1995 as  previously  reported  by the
Company with the amounts currently  presented in the Statement of Operations due
to the acquisition of Spector  Entertainment  Group,  Inc. ("SEG") on August 31,
1995  (which  was  accounted  for as a  pooling  of  interests)  as  well as the
correction of certain accounting treatments (see Note 4):

6. On March 6, 1996, the Company contributed the assets of the CABLE VIDEO STORE
network and certain  other assets to CVS  Partners,  a newly formed  partnership
owned 75% by the  Company and 25% by WilTech  Cable  Television  Services,  Inc.
("WCTV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The WilTech Group, Inc. ("WilTech"). WCTV
has two calls to acquire portions of the Company's  partnership  interest in CVS
Partners  at  formula  determined  prices;  if both  calls  are  exercised,  the
Company's partnership interest will be reduced to 20%.


         As  part of the  contribution,  the  Company  entered  into a  Services
Agreement with CVS Partners to provide certain sales, marketing,  administrative
and operational services to CVS Partners and granted CVS Partners a royalty free
license of the CABLE VIDEO STORE name and related identity.  WCTV is required to
contribute  approximately  $2.6 million to CVS Partners'  capital (of which $1.0
million has been  contributed  as of June 30, 1996),  part in cash and part by a
credit  for  services  to be  provided  to CVS  Partners  pursuant  to  Services
Agreement  between Vyvx, Inc., an affiliate of WCTV, and CVS Partners to provide
services relating to the installation and operation of video file services,


<PAGE>




transmission services,  satellite uplink services and local access services
from the playback to the uplink facility.


7. The Company,  Phillips Media B.V.  ("Phillips")  and Royal PTT Netherlands NV
("KPN") established TeleSelect B.V. ("TeleSelect"), a Netherlands joint venture,
to create joint ventures with European cable operators to enable them to provide
conditional  access services.  On April 3, 1996, the Company sold its TeleSelect
interest to Phillips and KPN for $3.2  million,  an amount  roughly equal to its
cash investment in TeleSelect. One million dollars of the proceeds were utilized
to pay down  long-term  debt  and the  remaining  funds  were  used for  working
capital.


8. The Company  has a line of credit from  Midlantic  Bank,  N.A.  ("Midlantic")
which at June 30, 1996 amounts to $14.6 million. No further funds are available.
At December 31,  1995,  the Company had violated  certain  financial  covenants.
Pursuant to a Third Amendatory Agreement dated March 29, 1996, Midlantic has (i)
extended  the term of the loan  until  January  2,  1997,  (ii)  waived  certain
financial  covenant  violations  through  the date of the  agreement  and  (iii)
eliminated  all of the  financial  covenants  for the balance of the loan's term
except  for the net worth  covenant  and a  covenant  requiring  the  Company to
maintain  specified levels of cash flows. The revised net worth covenant,  which
was revised in accordance with the Company's  projections,  requires the Company
to maintain a net worth of at least $6.75 million as of December 31, 1995, $5.75
million  from  January 1, 1996  through  June 29, 1996 and at least $6.0 million
through January 2, 1997. The cash flow covenant requires the Company to maintain
specified levels of cash flows in accordance with a cash flow report prepared by
the Company and  approved by  Midlantic.  Midlantic  also  consented  to certain
transactions relating to the restructuring and other transactions.

9. The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared  assuming that the
Company will be able to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business.
Management believes that the restructuring undertaken at the end of 1995 and the
during the first quarter of 1996 and further planned  reductions in overhead and
labor costs will contribute  towards achieving improved cash flows and operating
results.  The Company  reported  income from  operations of $297,000 for the six
months ending June 30, 1996 and currently  funds its operations from cash flows.
While  the  Company  is  servicing  the  interest  on its  line of  credit  from
Midlantic,  the Company does not currently have the resources available to repay
the principal of this  obligation  when it matures on January 2, 1997.  When the
loan matures,  the Company will be required to obtain  replacement  financing or
alternative  sources of capital.  There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to  obtain  such  financing  or,  if  obtained,  that the terms of any such
financing  or  alternative  sources of capital  will not be more costly then the
Company's  current cost of capital.  Midlantic has liens on substantially all of
the Company's assets. If the Company is unable to locate replacement  financing,
Midlantic  could exercise its rights as a secured  creditor and foreclose on its
lien or force the Company into bankruptcy.

10. The  accrued  restructuring  reserve at January 1, 1996,  March 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996 was  approximately  $3.7  million,  $3.0 million and $2.3 million,
respectively.  The accrued restructuring reserve is comprised of corporate level
restructuring and the suspension of production  activities formerly conducted by
CPV  Productions,  Inc.  ("CPV").  Each  component  involved  contraction of the
Company's workforce and facilities and other miscellaneous costs associated with
the  restructuring.  The balances of each component at December 31, 1995,  March
31, 1996 and June 30, 1996 were as follows:

     11. Pursuant to a joint venture  agreement dated June 28, 1995, the Company
formed American Gaming Network,  J.V.  ("AGN") with TV Games,  Inc.  ("TVG"),  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Multimedia Games, Inc. ("MGAM"),  to jointly develop
and promote  high stakes  proxy play Class II tribal  bingo  games.  The Company
contributed  approximately  $1.4  million of  intellectual  property and working
capital to AGN's  capital.  The Company had acquired the  intellectual  property
from MGAM for cash and notes. In related transactions,  the Company acquired for
cash and  notes  275,000  shares of MGAM's  outstanding  stock and a warrant  to
acquire an additional  175,000  shares at an exercise  price of $3.50 per share.
The  parties  were  unable to agree on a business  plan or a strategy  for going
forward with AGN.

         Pursuant  to a Purchase  Agreement  dated June 28,  1996,  the  parties
resolved  their  differences  with the Company giving up its interest in AGN and
the 275,000  shares of MGAM stock in  exchange  for (i) the  cancellation  of an
aggregate  of  $775,000  of  liabilities  owed to MGAM  and TVG,  (ii)  $100,000
pursuant to a note due on July 25,  1996 and (iii)  $400,000  due  pursuant to a
note due in three  years.  The  Company  retained a warrant  to acquire  175,000
shares of common stock of MGAM stock and the parties released each other. Due to
the likelihood  that the parties would not proceed  forward with AGN and as part
of the Company's  restructuring  at December 31, 1995, the Company wrote off its
investment in AGN and the MGAM stock. As a result of the foregoing  transaction,
the Company recognized a nonrecurring gain of $875,000 in the second quarter and
will  recognize an  additional  nonrecurring  gain of $400,000 when the $400,000
note is paid.


<PAGE>



12.  Pursuant to an Equipment  Lease dated August 14, 1996,  the Company  leased
approximately  $1.7 million of equipment from Vendor  Capital  Group.  The lease
will be accounted for as a capital  lease.  The equipment  included a Digicipher
encoder and  approximately  1,200 decoder boxes which are being  provided to the
Company's  cable systems  customers.  This  equipment will enable the Company to
digitally compress its domestic television networks, freeing up two transponders
for other uses.

Graff Pay-Per-View Inc. and Subsidiaries
Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

         The  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  include  the  results of
Spector Entertainment Group, Inc., ("SEG") a wholly-owned subsidiary,  which was
acquired by merger on August 31, 1995 and CVS Partners,  a partnership  in which
the Company owns,  since March 1, 1996, a 75% interest.  The SEG acquisition was
accounted for as pooling of interest,  whereby the financial  statements for all
the periods  prior to the  combination  were  restated  to reflect the  combined
operations.

Revenues

     Total  revenues  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  decreased  by
approximately  $6.0 million (22.5%) to  approximately  $20.7 million compared to
total revenues of approximately  $26.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  Total  revenues  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996  decreased by
approximately  $3.1 million (22.7%) to  approximately  $10.6 million compared to
total revenue of approximately $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in revenues
from the Company's adult networks in the domestic C-Band direct to home ("TVRO")
market,  the United Kingdom  direct to home markets and the  curtailment of film
and  television  production and  distribution  by CPV as a part of the Company's
restructuring  plan.  Offsetting  these declines were revenues from the domestic
direct broadcast  satellite system market and EUROTICA,  the Company's  recently
launched European satellite  delivered network, of $1.1 million and $0.6 million
for the six month and three month periods,  ending June 30, 1996,  respectively.
The Company did not realize  revenues  from either of these  sources  during the
corresponding prior year periods.

         In the domestic  C-band TVRO market,  several  competing adult explicit
services were launched during 1994 and 1995. The explicit adult services compete
directly with the SPICE and THE ADAM & EVE CHANNEL (the "SPICE Networks") in the
domestic  C-band  TVRO  market and have  resulted  in a decline in  revenues  of
approximately  $2.8  million and $1.3 million for the six and three months ended
June 30,  1996 as compared to the same  periods for 1995 in this  market.  These
explicit adult services are not distributed by cable operators and therefore, do
not have an impact on the SPICE  Networks'  revenues in the cable  market.  As a
result of this decline in  revenues,  the Company  will cease  distributing  the
SPICE  Networks as analog  services  commencing  September 1, 1996,  effectively
removing  approximately  $125,000 of revenues a month.  The Company is exploring
various strategies in the C-Band TVRO market to combat the loss of revenues.

Item 2:  Management Discussion and Analysis of
Graff Pay-Per-View Inc. and Subsidiaries
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued



         In the United  Kingdom,  two new competing adult services were launched
in the second half of 1995.  The new adult  services  compete  directly with THE
ADULT CHANNEL,  the Company's United Kingdom satellite  delivered adult network.
In addition,  THE ADULT CHANNEL  switched  satellites to a satellite which could
not be viewed by several of its  existing  subscribers.  These two factors  have
resulted in a decline in revenues of approximately $1.9 million and $1.0 million
for the six and three  months  periods  ended June 30,  1996,  respectively,  as
compared to the same period in 1995.

         Revenues   from  the  SPICE   Networks   cable   market   decreased  by
approximately  $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the six and three month periods
ended June 30, 1996 , respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The
Company was able to increase the number of addressable households with access to
the SPICE Networks at June 30, 1996 by approximately 11% over the number of such
addressable   households   at  June  30,  1995  even  though  the  Company  lost
approximately  8% of its  addressable  subscriber  base  on July  1,  1995.  The
increase in addressable  subscribers did not translate into greater revenues due
to normal delays in realizing  revenues from new  subscribers and a reduction in
the  Company's  share of revenues from cable sales of the SPICE  Networks.  This
reduction in license fees is a result of increased  competition in the Company's
market segment and the growing  concentration  in the ownership of cable systems
by multiple system operators ("MSOs"). Management expects this downward trend to
slow and for license fees to stabilize as a result of the Company  entering into
long-term agreements with several of the major MSOs.

Expenditures

         Salaries, wages and benefits decreased by approximately $0.2 million to
approximately $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
approximately  $5.3  million  for the same period in 1995.  Salaries,  wages and
benefits  for the three months  ended June 30, 1996  decreased by  approximately
$0.2 million to  approximately  $2.5 million as compared to  approximately  $2.7
million in the same period for 1995. Salaries did not decline  significantly for
the period ending June 30, 1996 compared to a similar period in 1995 because the
reduction in salaries from the restructuring plan were primarily attributable to
employees  hired  during the second  half of the year.  The  Company  expects to
realize  substantial  reductions  in  salaries,  wages  and  benefits  from  the
restructuring plan in the second half of 1996.

         Producer  royalties  and film  cost  amortization  in the six and three
months ended June 30, 1996 have  decreased by  approximately  $0.40  million and
$0.16 million as compared to the same periods in 1995.  The decline is primarily
attributable  to the  reduction  in film cost  amortization  resulting  from the
decision  to write down CPV's  film and  CD-ROM  costs in the fourth  quarter of
1995.  Offsetting the decline was an increase in producer  royalties  associated
with the CABLE  VIDEO  STORE  Network  resulting  from an  increase  in  network
revenues.

         In December,  1995, the Company  entered into a service  agreement with
AT&T for the use of 5 transponders  on Telstar 402R for the  satellite's  useful
life,  estimated  to be 12 years.  The  Company  is using the  transponders  for
broadcast  of its  domestic  networks  and the  SEG  services.  The  transponder
agreement is being  accounted for as a capital lease as required by Statement of
Financial and Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". As a result,
the Company is required to  establish  an asset and a  corresponding  offsetting
interest  bearing  obligation  equal to $58.7 million,  the present value of the
expected  future  minimum lease  payments at the lease  inception.  The asset is
depreciated, on the straight-line method, over the satellite's estimated 12 year
useful life.  The actual lease  payments are applied  against the  principal and
interest of the obligation similar to a fully amortizing  mortgage loan. For the
quarter ending June 30, 1996 the Company recognized total expenses  attributable
to the lease of approximately $5.2 million comprised of depreciation  expense of
approximately  $2.7 million and interest expense of approximately  $2.5 million.
Had the lease been accounted for as an operating  lease,  the Company would have
recognized approximately $1.0 million less in total expenses attributable to the
AT&T transponder lease during the first half of 1996.

         Satellite,  playback  and uplink  expenses for the six and three months
ended June 30,  1996 have  decreased  by  approximately  $4.4  million  and $2.1
million,  respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The decrease is
primarily  attributable to the capitalized AT&T transponder lease as compared to
the treatment during the first half of 1995 when domestic  transponder  expenses
were accounted as operating leases.

         Had the AT&T  lease  been  accounted  for as an  operating  lease,  the
Company's  satellite  expense for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 would have
been  approximately  the same as the same  period in 1995.  The  increase in the
number  of  domestic  and  foreign  transponders  used by the  Company  has been
effectively  offset by a reduction in the per  transponder  cost of its domestic
transponders.

         In February 1995, the Company launched  EUROTICA,  a European satellite
delivered  subscription  network  based in Denmark.  Certain  startup  costs and
satellite expenditures  associated with this service were deferred. The total of
these deferred costs and expenditures  amounted to approximately $0.7 million as
of June 30, 1995. During the third and fourth quarters of 1995 it was determined
that these deferred  startup costs had limited future value and were expensed as
operating costs.

         Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  for the six and three
months ended June 30, 1996 have decreased by approximately $2.8 million and $1.6
million,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods in 1995.  The decreases
are primarily attributable to the implementation of the restructuring plan.

         Depreciation  of fixed assets and the  amortization of goodwill for the
six and three months  ended  increased  by  approximately  $2.8 million and $1.4
million,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods in 1995.  Approximately
$2.7 million and $1.4 million for the six and three months, respectively,  ended
June 30, 1996 was attributable to accounting for the AT&T transponder lease as a
capital lease.

         Interest   expense   increased   by   approximately   $2.9  million  to
approximately $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
the same  period in 1995.  Interest  expense  increased  by  approximately  $1.4
million to  approximately  $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996
as  compared  to the same period in 1995.  Approximately  $2.5  million and $1.3
million  of the  increase  for the six and three  months  ended  June 30,  1996,
respectively,  is attributable to accounting for the AT&T transponder lease as a
capital lease and $0.4 million and $0.1 million of the increase is  attributable
to additional borrowings under the line of credit from Midlantic.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June  30,  1996,  the  Company  had a  working  capital  deficit  of
approximately  $18.3 million  compared to a $2.9 million deficit at December 31,
1995.  The  decrease  in  working  capital  is  primarily  attributable  to  the
classification  of all of the $14.6 million of the Midlantic  loan as current at
June 30, 1996 as compared to only $1.1 million  classified  as current and $14.5
million classified as long-term at December 31, 1995.

         The Company has a line of credit from Midlantic  which amounts to $14.6
million.  No further funds are available.  At December 31, 1995, the Company had
violated certain covenants. Pursuant to a Third Amendatory Agreement dated March
29,  1996,  Midlantic  has  waived  those  violations  through  the  date of the
agreement,  eliminated  all of the  financial  covenants  for the balance of the
loan's  term  except  for two  financial  covenants,  net  worth  and cash  flow
requirements,  which were revised in accordance with the Company's  projections,
extended  the term of the loan until  January 2, 1997 and  consented  to certain
transactions.

         The Company has reduced  expenses in the areas of salaries and overhead
which together with its sale of its  TeleSelect  interest  currently  allows the
Company to fund day-to-day  operations.  The Company plans to continue to reduce
expenses in the areas which the Company  projects will have a positive impact on
future  liquidity.  The Company is currently in discussions  with parties and is
evaluating its alternatives  concerning  additional  financing to repay its bank
debt and to fund the expansion of its core businesses and other future projects.
There  are no  assurances  that the  Company  will be able to  secure  alternate
financing and to repay all or a portion of the Midlantic  indebtedness with such
financing.

         The accrued  restructuring  reserve at January 1, 1996,  March 31, 1996
and June 30, 1996 was approximately $3.7 million, $2.5 million and $2.3 million,
respectively.  The accrued restructuring reserve is comprised of corporate level
restructuring and the suspension of production  activities formerly conducted by
CPV.

         The cash outflows  associated  with the accrued  restructuring  reserve
aggregated  approximately  $0.6 million for the first quarter of 1996,  and $0.7
million for the second quarter of 1996.  Company  management  estimates the cash
outflows  associated with the restructuring will aggregate $0.5 million and $0.4
million for the  quarters  ended  September  30,  1996 and  December  31,  1996,
respectively,  and $0.8 million in 1997,  and $0.7 million in 1998.  Anticipated
expense savings from the restructuring are estimated to aggregate  approximately
$6 million in 1996 when compared to 1995, with a majority of the expense savings
in 1996 to occur in the second half of the year.

         Stockholders'  equity at June 30, 1996 was  approximately  $6.3 million
compared to  approximately  $8.1 million at December  31,  1995.  The decline in
stockholders'   equity  was  primarily   attributable  to  interest  expense  of
approximately  $3.4  million  (see  "Transponder  Lease")  which  was  offset by
minority interest of approximately $0.5 million and a gain on disposition of AGN
of  approximately  $0.9  million.  The  Company's  income  from  operations  was
approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

         Net cash  provided  in  operating  activities  was  approximately  $1.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to net cash  provided
by operating  activities of approximately  $0.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.  The increase in cash from  operating  activities  was  primarily
attributable to the increased  depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and
the  decrease in film and CD-ROM costs for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995.  Also  contributing to the increase in cash
provided  by  operating  activities  was the  increase  in  amounts  owed to its
suppliers.  Offsetting  these  increases  to cash  provided  by  operations  are
outflows associated with the accrued restructuring reserve at December 31, 1995,
gain on disposition of AGN and losses  allocated to the minority  partner in CVS
Partners for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

         Net cash  provided  by  investing  activities  was  approximately  $1.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $4.8
million used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase in cash provided by investing  activities is primarily  attributable to
the sale of  TeleSelect in April of 1996.  Contributing  to the increase was the
decline in purchases of property and equipment  and  investment in TeleSelect in
the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.

         Net cash used in financing  activities was  approximately  $2.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $3.9 million
provided by financing  activities  for the six months  ended June 30, 1995.  The
decrease in cash provided from investing activities is primarily attributable to
repayments of a portion of the amount  borrowed from Midlantic in the six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to  additional  borrowings in the same period in
1995.  Contributing to the decrease in cash provided by financing activities was
the treatment of the  Company's  domestic  satellite  lease in 1996 as a capital
lease.  Offsetting these declines is the capital contribution to CVS Partners by
the minority partner.
