equity securities to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes
in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Executive
officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of any class of the

Employment Agreements
Messrs. Kushner and Locke. In March 1994, Messrs. Kushner and Locke each
agreed to an amendment to his respective employment agreement with the Company
to (i) extend the term of the agreement to September 1998 and (ii) reduce the
maximum annual performance bonus that each may receive to 4% of pre-tax
earnings for the applicable period up to a maximum of $200,000 in fiscal 1994,
$220,000 in fiscal 1995, $250,000 in fiscal 1996, $270,000 in fiscal 1997 and
$290,000 in fiscal 1998. Under the then revised employment agreements, Messrs.
Kushner and Locke each were entitled to a base salary of $425,000 in fiscal
1996 through fiscal 1998, subject to potential increase upon review by the
Company's Board of Directors after fiscal 1995.
In order to induce Messrs. Kushner and Locke to enter into the March 1994
amended employment agreements, the Company granted to each, as of March 7,
1994, options to purchase 150,000 adjusted shares of Common Stock at an
adjusted exercise price per share equal to $5.04 (the last reported sale price
of the Common Stock on the date of the initial closing of the 8% Debentures).
The options vest over a five year period, with 20% vesting respectively on
each of the five annual anniversary dates following the date of the grant
(subject to possible acceleration following a "change-in-control" as defined
in the Company's 1988 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan")). Options to purchase
up to 120,000 shares of Common Stock have vested as to each officer as of
January 27, 1999.
As of October 1, 1997, Messrs. Kushner and Locke each agreed to a further
amendment to his respective employment agreement with the Company to extend
the term of the agreement to October 2002. Under the revised employment
agreements, Messrs. Kushner and Locke each continue to be entitled to an
annual base compensation of $425,000 in fiscal 1997, and are entitled to
$25,000 annual increases beginning with the second employment year
(commencing October 1998) under the amended agreement up to a maximum of
$525,000. In the event the Company achieves earnings before income taxes
prior to the profit bonuses in excess of $2,000,000, each of Messrs. Kushner
and Locke are entitled to certain profit bonuses at graduated rates ranging
from 5% of such annual earnings before income taxes (from the first dollar of
earnings before income taxes) up to $4,000,000 to increasing percentages up to
7.5% of annual earnings before income taxes in excess of $8,000,000, but not
to exceed two times annual base compensation.
In addition, the Company granted to each of Messrs. Kushner and Locke, as of
August 1, 1997, options to purchase 83,333 (post reverse split) shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $1.875 (the last reported
sale price of the Common Stock on the date prior to the award date, as
adjusted). These options (time vesting options) vest over a five year period,
with 20% vesting respectively on each of the five annual anniversary dates
following the date of the grant (subject to acceleration in the event of
termination of optionee's employment agreement by such optionee for "cause"
(as defined therein) or wrongfully by the Company or upon certain "Events" (as
defined under the Plan), including termination following a "change-in-control"
as defined in the Plan). The Company also granted to each of Messrs. Kushner
and Locke options to purchase an additional 83,333 (post reverse split) shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $1.875, vesting at the
rate of 20% per year, but exercisable only upon (i) the achievement of at
least 85% of certain annual earnings before income tax targets to be set by
the board of directors or (ii) the Company's Common Stock reaching certain
public trading prices ranging from $3.00 to $6.00 per share. Such performance
options are also subject to accelerated vesting and exercisability under the
circumstances described above for the time-vesting option tranche.
The Company also provides Messrs. Kushner and Locke with certain fringe
benefits, including $3,500,000 of term life insurance with a split dollar
ownership structure and disability insurance for each person. If the
employment agreement is terminated by employee for "cause" or wrongfully by
the Company, the Company is required to pay the present value of all unpaid
premiums on the split dollar policy for the ten (10) year period ending
February 2007. The Company also agreed to assign any key-man life insurance
policy to the employee after certain terminations of the employment agreement.
The agreements permit Messrs. Kushner and Locke to collect outside
compensation to which they may be entitled and to provide incidental and
limited services outside of their employment with the Company and to receive
compensation therefor, so long as such activities do not materially interfere
with the performance of their duties under the agreements. Each of Messrs.
Kushner and Locke also may require the Company to change its name to remove
his name within one year after the expiration or termination of his employment
agreement, except that the Company may continue to use such name for a period
of one year after such notice, or for such longer period of time as is
reasonably necessary to cause the Company not to default under any
indebtedness for borrowed money or other material agreement. In the event
Messrs. Kushner's or Locke's employment agreement is terminated following a
change of control, as such term is defined therein, such executive would be
entitled to a lump sum payment equal to all compensation and benefits provided
for in the agreement for the remainder of the term, discounted at the rate of
10% per annum.
Mr. Lilliston. On September 14, 1996, the Company entered into an employment
agreement with Bruce St. J. Lilliston pursuant to which the Company employed
Mr. Lilliston as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company
effective October 1, 1996 for a three year term. As part of the agreement,
Mr. Lilliston will be paid a base salary of $400,000 per year. In addition,
the Company loaned him $100,000 on September 3, 1996 and $200,000 in October
1996. The loan was made to assist Mr. Lilliston in the transition from his
private law practice to his duties as Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
The loan accrues simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum and will be repaid
over a five year period at certain specified dates ending October 1, 2001.
Mr. Lilliston has the right to receive bonuses equal to the amount of the
payments, including interest, due for such loan if Mr. Lilliston is still
employed by the Company (including the renewal of his employment agreement if
applicable) on certain dates (the "Employment Bonus"). Beginning October 1,
1997, so long as Mr. Lilliston is then employed by the Company (including the
renewal of his employment agreement if applicable), he shall be entitled to
receive a bonus of $100,000 the first time the adjusted "Average Closing
Price" (the average closing price of the common stock over a thirty calendar
day period) is $6.00 or more greater than the "First Day Price" (the average
closing price of the Common Stock, as adjusted, over the thirty calendar day
period immediately prior to October 1, 1996). Thereafter, if Mr. Lilliston is
still employed by the Company (including the renewal of his employment
agreement if applicable), he shall be entitled to receive an additional
$100,000 bonus the first time the Average Closing Price exceeds the First Day
Price by $12.00 or more, as adjusted, and each whole six-dollar amount through
and including $60.00, as adjusted, (each such bonus, a "Stock Bonus"). The
aggregate of such bonuses shall not exceed $1,000,000. The Stock Bonuses
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Employment Bonus up to $150,000
plus interest payable thereon from September 3, 1996. As of September 30,
1998 Mr. Lilliston had received an Employment Bonus of $80,049 but no Stock
Bonus.
If the Company realizes pre-tax operating profits or earnings per share for
any fiscal year during Mr. Lilliston's employment greater than 100% of the
Company's largest pre-tax operating profit or earnings per share amount for
any of the preceding years of Mr. Lilliston's employment under his employment
agreement or in any of the five fiscal years immediately preceding the
commencement of such agreement, and if Mr. Lilliston is still employed by the
Company at the end of the applicable fiscal year, then Mr. Lilliston shall be
entitled to receive a bonus of $50,000 for each such event. No bonus was
earned or paid for fiscal 1998.
As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to grant Mr. Lilliston options
to purchase up to 41,667 adjusted shares of Common Stock, with 20,834 of such
options having been granted and vested upon the authorization by the
shareholders of the Company of additional shares of common stock in November
1996. Options to purchase an additional 8,333 shares of common stock and
12,500 shares of common stock were granted and vested on October 1, 1997 and
October 1, 1998, respectively, as Mr. Lilliston reached the performance
criteria established by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. If Mr.
Lilliston's employment is extended for a second term pursuant to such
agreement (the "Second Term"), the Company has agreed to grant Mr. Lilliston
options to purchase up to an additional 83,334 shares of Common Stock, 41,667,
16,667, and 25,000 of such options to be granted upon commencement and one,
and two years, respectively, after the commencement of the Second Term with
one-half of each such grant to vest immediately upon grant and the remainder
thereof to vest upon Mr. Lilliston reaching certain performance criteria to be
established by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. If Mr.
Lilliston's employment is extended beyond a Second Term, the Company has
agreed to grant Mr. Lilliston options to purchase up to an additional 41,667
shares of Common Stock as adjusted, with such options granted in full upon
such employment extension with one-half of such grant to vest immediately upon
grant and the remainder thereof to vest upon Mr. Lilliston reaching certain
performance criteria to be established by the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof. In the event the performance goals are not met, such
options vest at a fixed date in the future, contingent solely on future
employment. The exercise price for such options shall be equal to the closing
price of the Common Stock on the applicable date of grant. Finally, as part
of Mr. Lilliston's agreement, he is allowed to maintain not more than two
independent outside legal consultancy client relationships, subject to
approval by the Co-Chief Executive Officers, with earnings from such
consultancies limited to $150,000 per year.

anniversary date of the Effective Date.
1998 Stock Incentive Plan
The 1998 Stock Incentive Plan adopted by the Board of Directors in October
1988 (the "Plan") authorizes the granting of stock incentive awards ("Awards")
to qualified officers, employees, directors, key employees and third parties
providing valuable services to the Company, e.g., independent contractors,
consultants and advisors to the Company. In November 1996, the shareholders of
the Company voted to increase the adjusted authorized number of shares
available under the Plan from 750,000 to 1,250,000. The Plan may be
administered by a committee appointed by the Board and consisting of two or
more members, each of whom must be Non-Employee Directors. A Non-Employee
Director is defined as a director who is not employed by the Company or its
subsidiaries, does not receive compensation from the Company or its
subsidiaries other than as a director, except for compensation in an amount
less than $60,000, and is generally disinterested. The Plan is currently
administered by the entire board of directors, who determine the number of
shares to be covered by an Award, the term and exercise price, if any, of the
Award and other terms and provisions of Awards.
The Plan is designed to help the Company attract and retain qualified persons
for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide certain key
employees and consultants with an additional incentive to contribute to the
success of the Company. As of January 27, 1999, options to purchase 944,692
shares of the Company's Common Stock were outstanding under the Plan. Under
the Plan options to purchase 296,556 shares had been exercised, options to
purchase 411,279 shares had expired or been canceled and options to purchase
8,752 shares remained available for grant under the Plan.
Awards can be Stock Options ("Options"), Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"),
Performance Share Awards ("PSAs") and Restricted Stock Awards ("RSAs"). The
number and kind of shares available under the Plan are subject to adjustment
in certain events. Shares relating to Options or SARs which are not exercised,
shares relating to RSAs which do not vest and shares relating to PSAs which
are not issued will again be available for issuance under the Plan.
An Option may be an incentive stock option ("ISO") or a nonqualified Option.
The exercise price for Options is to be determined by the Committee, but in
the case of an ISO is not to be less than fair market value on the date the
Option is granted (110% of fair market value in the case of an ISO granted to
any person who owns more than 10% of the Common Stock). The purchase price is
payable in any combination of cash, shares of Common Stock already owned by
the participant for at least six months or, if authorized by the Committee,
a promissory note secured by the Common Stock issuable upon exercise. In
addition, the award agreement may provide for "cashless" exercise and payment.
Subject to early termination or acceleration provisions, an Option is
exercisable, in whole or in part, from the date specified in the related award
agreement (which may be six months after the date of grant) until the
expiration date determined by the Committee (not to exceed 10 years from the
date of grant).
An SAR is the right to receive payment based on the appreciation in the fair
market value of Common Stock from the date of grant to the date of exercise.
In its discretion, the Committee may grant an SAR concurrently with the grant
of an Option. An SAR is only exercisable at such time, and to the extent, that
the related Option is exercisable. Upon exercise of an SAR, the holder
receives for each share with respect to which the SAR is exercised an amount
equal to the difference between the exercise price under the related Option
and the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise
of the SAR. The Committee in its discretion may pay the amount in cash, shares
of Common Stock, or a combination thereof.
An RSA is an award of a fixed number of shares of Common Stock subject to
restrictions. The Committee specifies the prices, if any, the recipient must
pay for such shares. Shares included in an RSA may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered until they have
vested. The recipient is entitled to dividend and voting rights pertaining to
such RSA shares even though they have not vested, so long as such shares have
not been forfeited.
A PSA is an award of a fixed number of shares of Common Stock, the issuance
of which is contingent upon the attainment of such performance objectives, and
the payment of such consideration, if any, as is specified by the Committee.
The Plan also provides for certain tax-offset bonuses and tax withholding
using shares of Common Stock instead of cash.
Upon the date a participant is no longer employed by the Company for any
reason, shares subject to the participant's RSAs which have not become vested
by that date or shares subject to the participant's PSAs which have not been
issued shall be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the related Award
agreements. Options which have become exercisable by the date of termination
of employment or of service on the Committee must be exercised within certain
specified periods of time from the date of termination, the period of time to
depend on the reason for termination. Options which have not yet become
exercisable on the date the participant terminates employment or service on
the Committee for a reason other than retirement, death or total disability
shall terminate on that date.
The Board of Directors may, at any time, terminate, amend or suspend the
Plan. In addition, the Committee may, with certain exceptions, amend any
provision of the Plan.
All employees, officers and directors of, and consultants to, the Company are
eligible to participate in the Plan. The Committee determines which persons
shall be granted options, the extent of such grants and, consistent with the
Plan, the terms and conditions thereof. As of December 31, 1998, approximately
60 employees of the Company, and three directors of the Company who are not
also employees of the Company, are eligible to receive option grants under the
Plan. Options granted under the Plan may be either ISOs or options which are
not intended to qualify as ISOs, except that ISOs may only be granted to
employees of the Company.
The aggregate fair market value (determined on the date of grant) of the
shares of Common Stock for which ISOs may be granted to any participant under
the Plan and any other plan by the Company or its affiliates which are
exercisable for the first time by such participant during any calendar year
may not exceed $100,000.
The options granted under the Plan become exercisable on such dates as the
Board determines in the terms of each individual option. Options are subject
to termination in the event of a disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets or capital stock of the Company by means of a sale, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or otherwise; unless the Committee
arranges for a continuation of the Plan or for the optionee to receive
payment or new options covering shares of the corporation purchasing or
acquiring the assets or stock of the Company, in substitution of the options
granted under the Plan. The Committee in any event may, on such terms and
conditions as it deems appropriate, accelerate the exercisability of options
granted under the Plan. An ISO to a holder of more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company must expire no
later than five years from the date of grant. A nonqualified stock option must
expire no later than ten years from the date of the grant.
The options granted under the Plan are not transferable other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution. Unexercised options generally lapse 3
months after termination of employment other than by reason of retirement,
disability or death (except in the case of ISOs) in which case it terminates
one year thereafter.
The Plan provides for anti-dilution adjustments which are applicable in the
event of a reorganization, merger, combination, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split; however,
no such adjustment need be made if it is determined that the adjustment may
result in the receipt of federally taxable income to optionees or the holders
of Common Stock or other classes of the Company's securities. Upon the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or
consolidation of the Company as a result of which the Company is not the
surviving entity, the Plan shall terminate, and any outstanding awards shall
terminate and be forfeited unless assumed by the successor corporation.
The Plan currently provides that the Board may amend the Plan at any time
without obtaining shareholder approval to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law or regulation, and, in the event the Board determines that
shareholder approval is required by applicable law or regulation, than such
amendments would be effective once approved by the Board and the holders of a
majority of the shares of Common Stock.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
From October 1, 1997 through June 18, 1998 the Compensation Committee
consisted of Messrs. Hersch, Braun and Coppersmith. On June 18, 1998, at the
Company's annual shareholders meeting, Messrs. Braun and Coppersmith did not
stand for reelection and Messrs. Friedman and Lannan were elected to the Board
odf Directors. In a subsequent Board meeting on June 18, 1998, Messrs.
Friedman and Lannan were appointed to the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee participated in deliberations and decisions regarding
executive compensation. However, the full Board of Directors of the Company
participated in deliberations and decisions regarding grants of new options
to certain directors and certain employees in connection with new employment
agreements and amendments and extensions of employment agreements with the
Company. Other than Messrs. Kushner and Locke, no member of the Board of
Directors was, during the fiscal year or formerly, an officer or employee of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, however Stuart Hersch, a director, is
paid $7,500 per month pursuant to a consulting contract. During fiscal year
1998, Mr. Locke served as Co-Chairman of the Board, and Co-Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, and Mr. Kushner served as Co-Chairman of the Board,
Co-Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary of the Company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
In fiscal 1993, the Company entered into a domestic home video distribution
agreement with WarnerVision for the feature film Deadly Exposure. Stuart
Hersch, a Director of the Company, was President of WarnerVision at that time.
The distribution agreement provides for payment by WarnerVision to the
Company of an advance in exchange for certain domestic home video rights,
subject to certain back-end participation rights of the Company, and payments
by the Company to WarnerVision of 30% of the Company's net revenues derived
from Canadian home video and broadcast television exploitation of Deadly
Exposure. Through September 30, 1998, no payments had been made by the Company
to WarnerVision pursuant to such agreement.
In fiscal 1994, the Company entered into certain joint ventures with
WarnerVision whereby WarnerVision and the Company share production costs and
expenses and any resulting revenues with respect to certain motion pictures.
The Company has also entered into domestic home video distribution agreements
with WarnerVision for the feature films Lady-in-Waiting and Last Gasp. These
agreements provide for the payment by WarnerVision to the Company of $510,000
and $530,000 in exchange for WarnerVision receiving participation rights with
the Company in the revenues derived from the exploitation of Lady-in-Waiting
and Last Gasp, respectively. The Company also agreed to license to
WarnerVision domestic distribution rights to Wes Craven Presents: Mind Ripper
for a recoupable minimum guaranty payment against revenues.
In fiscal 1994, the Company entered into a five picture joint venture with
WarnerVision similar to the Lady-in-Waiting and Last Gasp joint ventures.
Through September 30, 1998, the Company had received approximately $924,000
from WarnerVision towards the production costs and expenses of these films
pursuant to such joint ventures. The Company believes that the terms of the
forgoing transactions are no less favorable to the Company than those that
could have been obtained in transactions with unaffiliated third parties.
On September 14, 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Bruce St. J. Lilliston pursuant to which the Company agreed to hire Mr.
Lilliston as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company
effective October 1, 1996. As part of such agreement, Mr. Lilliston is
allowed to maintain not more than two independent outside legal consultancy
client relationships, subject to approval by the Chief Executive Officers.
Prior to his employment, Mr. Lilliston provided various legal services to the
Company through the Law Offices of Bruce St. J. Lilliston. During fiscal
1996, the Company paid Mr. Lilliston $180,000 for such legal services. In
addition, Mr. Lilliston had provided various legal services to certain of
Kushner-Locke International's distributing licensees as well as August
Entertainment. See Item II, Executive Compensation - Employment Agreement -
Mr. Lilliston for a further description of Mr. Lilliston's employment
arrangement with the Company.
During fiscal 1998 the Company paid to WarnerVision $1,543,000, a
previously accrued payment obligation, and settled certain disputes with
WarnerVision.
In April 1996, the Company entered into a month-to-month consulting agreement
with Stuart Hersch which provides for a monthly fee of $7,500 to be paid to
Mr. Hersch. Mr. Hersch assists the Company in analyzing potential strategic
acquisitions and provides the Company consulting services in connection with
the Company's infomercial operations.
In February 1998 the Company paid I. Friedman Equities, Inc. $24,000 pursuant
to Mr. Friedman's consulting agreement.
In August 1997, Mr. Locke acquired an option to purchase 45% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of 800-U.S.Search ("Search") from Robert L.
Rich pursuant to an option agreement (the "Rich Option"). In November 1997,
Mr. Locke exercised the Rich Option in exchange for Mr. Locke's entering into
an indemnification agreement whereby he agreed to personally indemnify Mr.
Rich against certain liabilities to which Mr. Rich may have been subject in
connection with Search (the "Indemnified Liabilities"). Mr. Locke
subsequently transferred the shares to Dayton Way V, Inc., a California
corporation and affiliate of the Company ("Dayton Way"), in exchange for
indemnification by Dayton Way from the Indemnified Liabilities. In October
1997, the Company purchased 35% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Search from Nicholas Matzorkis in exchange for the Company's agreement to
indemnify Mr. Matzorkis against certain liabilities to which Mr. Matzorkis may
have been subject in connection with the Indemnified Liabilities. The
indemnification obligation included substantially the same liabilities as the
Indemnified Liabilities under the Rich Option. Subsequently, the Company
assigned its rights under this agreement to Dayton Way, and Dayton Way
acquired the shares, bringing its total ownership to 80% of the outstanding
common stock of Search. In connection with these transactions, Dayton Way
granted to the Company an option to purchase the 80% interest for $100 and the
Company's agreement to indemnify Dayton Way against the Indemnified
Liabilities. The Company exercised this option in January 1998.
From May 1997 to October 1997, Mr. Locke personally loaned Search $187,000,
bearing interest at 10% per annum, payable upon demand. This loan was
subsequently repaid in full. In addition, Search paid $35,000 in consulting
fees to Mr. Locke for services rendered from May 1997 through December 1997.
The Company believes that the terms of the foregoing transactions are no less
favorable to the Company than those that could have been obtained in
transactions with unaffiliated third parties.
Each of Messrs. Friedman and Lannan were granted options to purchase 16,667
shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.84 in June
1998.
In July 1998, Messrs. Braun and Coppersmith, each of whom was director of the
Company until June 1998, each entered into a one year consulting agreement
with the Company providing for payments totalling $20,000. In addition, the
board of directors fully vested the options previously granted to Messrs.
Braun and Coppersmith.

Warrants
In September 1997, in connection with a consulting agreement, the Company
issued warrants to Allen & Company, Incorporated to purchase up to 500,000
shares of common stock of the company at $2.0625 per share. Of this total,
warrants for 166,667 shares were immediately exerciseable, an additional
166,667 became exerciseable in september 1998, and the remaining 166,666
become exerciseable in September 1999, the latter event subject to Allen &
Company, Incorporated still being engaged as consultants by the Company. The
warrants expire in September 2004. Also in September 1997 the Company issued
warrants to a financial consultant to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common
stock at $2.0625 per share. The terms of that warrant are the same as that
pertaining to Allen & Company, Incorporated. The fair value of such warrants
are amortized over the term of the consulting agreement.
Options
At September 30, 1998, the range of exercise prices and weighted average
remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $1.86 - $15.78 and 6.4
years, respectively. At September 30, 1998, options covering 33,752 shares of
common stock remained available for future grant under terms of the Company's
stock incentive plan.
