                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

General

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Dycam Inc. (the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance the generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from
the interim financial statements presented in this report. 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, the financial statements reflect all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation and all such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. For further information refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1996 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Basis of Presentation

Since 1994, the Company has suffered substantial recurring losses from
operations and has an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 1997. These
matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its
ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to
attain profitable operations. The Company's operating plan for calendar year
1997 includes increased sales, higher margins on certain segments of the custom
products and licensing business, reduced expenses as a percentage of revenues,
and improved cash flows sufficient to cover the Company's financing needs. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these regards. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Property and Equipment

Included in property and equipment is camera equipment held under lease to Hasco
International ("Hasco") in the amount of $201,000. Equipment under operating 
leases is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Such camera 
equipment is being depreciated over four years.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net
assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods
to be benefited. Dycam assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by
determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining
life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The
amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value and is
charged to operations in the period in which goodwill impairment is determined
by management. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
expected 20 year life. During 1996 and 1995 Dycam recorded $278,000 and $278,000
of amortization expense, respectively. Goodwill amortization of $208,000 was
recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At
September 30, 1997 no impairment of goodwill was determined by management.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from camera sales is recognized upon shipment of products.  Contract 
engineering fees are recognized when the service is performed.  License fee 
revenue is recognized when earned.  Revenue from camera equipment leased to 
Hasco is included in camera sales and is being recognized when earned.

Loss Per Common Share

Loss per common share has been computed on the weighted average number of common
and equivalent shares outstanding.  Primary and fully diluted net loss per share
are approximately the same.  Dycam has granted certain options which have been 
treated as common share equivalents in calculating net loss per share, unless 
antidilutive.  The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128"), which is 
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 
1997.  The effect of adopting SFAS 128 has not yet been determined.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATIONS
- -----------------------

Major Customers/Vendors

One customer accounted for 22% of camera sales for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997.  A separate customer accounted for 20% of camera sales for 
the three months ended September 30, 1996.  No customer accounted for more than 
10% of camera sales for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 
1996.

One customer accounted for $41,000 of contract engineering fees (75% of contract
engineering fees) for the three months ended September 30, 1997, and $126,000 of
contract engineering fees (65% of contract engineering fees) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.  A different customer accounted for $33,000 of 
contract engineering fees (77% of contract engineering fees) for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996, and $156,000 of contract engineering fees (89% 
of contract engineering fees) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Dycam purchased materials from one vendor for $72,000 and from a different 
vendor for $175,000, which represented 21% and 57% of all materials purchased 
during the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  
Substantially all of such purchases are related to standard digital camera 
products.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATIONS, continued
- ----------------------------------

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial investments which potentially expose the Company to a concentration of
credit risk as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105, 
consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash 
with high credit quality institutions but at times has amounts in one 
institution in excess of the federally insured limit of $100,000.  Concentration
of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the diversity
of the Company's customer base.  Generally, the Company does not require 
collateral or other security to support customer receivables.  Management 
consistently monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce the 
risk of loss.

NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH STYLES
- ---------------------------------

Note Receivable from Styles on Video Inc.

On December 14, 1994, Dycam loaned to Styles $500,000.  On January 25, 1995, 
Dycam loaned an additional $500,000 to Styles.  Styles signed an amended and 
restated promissory note dated January 25, 1995 for the full $1,000,000 note, 
bearing interest at 2% above a bank's prime rate, interest payable monthly, with
a maturity date of September 1, 1995.  Dycam subsequently extended the maturity 
date of the note to December 31, 1998, and fixed the interest rate at 10%.  The 
interest is payable monthly.  The Note is secured by a pledge of 1,916,667 
shares of the common stock of Dycam owned by Styles.  The note receivable has 
been reflected as an offset to stockholders' equity in the accompanying 
statements of stockholders' equity due to uncertainty regarding its ultimate 
collectability.  As of November 11, 1997 interest payments for the period March 
through October of 1997 are past due.  Styles has informed Dycam that it is 
unable to satisfy the past due payments and related penalties due under the 
Note, and Dycam has notified Styles that a condition of default under the terms 
of the Note has occurred.  The parties have reached an agreement in principle, 
subject to finalizing a definitive agreement, under which approximately 80% of 
the Common Stock of Dycam owned by Styles will be retired in order to satisfy 
the outstanding balance due on the Note.

Revenues

Included in the accompanying September 30, 1997 and 1996 statements of 
operations under camera sales is $72,000 and $53,000, respectively, of revenues 
related to camera equipment formerly leased to a subsidiary of Styles and 
currently leased to Hasco.

Deferred revenues

Commencing April 1996, Dycam and a subsidiary of Styles entered into an 
agreement to defer certain license revenues due Dycam for a period of up to 12 
months.  Deferred revenues (net of expenses) in the amount of $221,000 were 
received from Forever Yours in June, 1997.

- -------------------------------------------

Sale of Forever Yours Inc.

On December 13, 1996, Styles signed a letter of intent to sell substantially all
of the net assets of Forever Yours, the subsidiary of Styles that leases the 
cameras. The buyer is Hasco International ("Hasco"), a competitor of Forever 
Yours in the newborn hospital photographic business. Effective January 31, 1997,
Styles executed definitive agreements with the buyer for the sale, which closed 
in June, 1997.

At the closing, Forever Yours and Dycam terminated their existing contractual 
relationships involving the use of Dycam's cameras, software, and other 
supporting goods and services, and Hasco and Dycam entered into a Master 
Agreement (the "Dycam Master Agreement") with respect to the assumption of 
Forever Yours' digital camera lease obligations to Dycam, the leasing by Hasco 
of additional Dycam digital cameras, and a royalty-free license of certain 
digital camera technology by Dycam to Hasco, certain hardware and software 
support services to be provided by Dycam for a three-year period commencing on 
the closing date and certain additional terms. Under the Dycam Master Agreement,
Hasco will be required to pay Dycam specified leasehold payments for leased 
cameras, a $300,000 fee (payable quarterly over a three-year period) for the 
support services, and the cost of certain hardware upgrades.

Styles has agreed to deliver to Hasco an option permitting Hasco to purchase 
from shares owned by Styles that number of shares of Dycam common stock equal to
4.9% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Dycam on the Closing date 
(approximately 152,921 shares as of September 30, 1997). The exercise price of 
this three year option to be granted to the buyer is $0.25 which is equal to the
average closing price for Dycam common stock during the period from January 13, 
1997 through June 13, 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

General

     The Company commenced operations in April 1988, and was incorporated in
Delaware July, 1988. The Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Styles
Video Inc. a publicly traded Delaware corporation (Styles) on February 7, 1994.
Effective June 21, 1994, the Company effected an underwritten Rights Offering of
1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock. From and after the close of the Rights
Offering, Styles owned approximately 55% of the Company's common stock. Since
its inception, the Company's business has been the design, manufacture and sale
of digital cameras and associated hardware and software products primarily for
use with personal computers. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are
derived from sales of digital cameras and supporting software and accessory
products, technology licensing fees, and contract engineering work.

     Certain statements made in this Form 10-QSB which are not historic facts
constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Securities
Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties and, in some cases, are based upon various factors beyond Dycam's
control. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the ability
of Styles on Video to satisfy its outstanding indebtedness owed to Dycam, the
market reception for digital cameras in general and Dycam's products
specifically, the impact of competition from other companies in the digital
camera industry, developments which may render Dycam's products and services
obsolete or less attractive, Dycam's ability to finance growth from its working
capital, and its ability to obtain third party financing if its working capital
is not sufficient to meet its needs. Furthermore, Styles on Video and Hasco
International ("Hasco"), have completed a transaction under which substantially
all of the assets of Forever Yours have been purchased by Hasco. Concurrently
with the closing of this asset purchase transaction, Dycam and Hasco entered
into a 3 year agreement under which Dycam will receive quarterly payments for
continuing camera maintenance and development services, and camera lease
payments from certain leased camera payment obligations assumed by Hasco.
Payment of deferred license fees due Dycam from Forever Yours was satisfied from
the proceeds of the Forever Yours sale. This transaction and the continuing
agreement with Hasco may result in substantially lower revenues to Dycam than
would have been realized under the original agreements with Forever Yours.

     The Company believes that its existing cash balances and cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through June 1998,
after which time it may be required to raise additional capital. In addition, to
the extent Dycam experiences growth in the future, or its cash flow from
operations is less than anticipated, Dycam may be required to obtain additional
sources of cash. The ability of the Company to raise additional funds and
ultimately achieve positive operating cash flow is uncertain and, therefore,
this raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations

    Three months ended September 30, 1997 and compared to the three months
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                           ended September 30, 1996
                           ------------------------

      Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were 
$579,000. Total revenues increased $11,000 (2%) from revenues of $568,000 for 
the three months ended September 30, 1996. Revenues from camera sales were 
$499,000 (86% of total revenue) in the three months ended September 30, 1997 as 
compared to $525,000 in 1996 (92% of total revenue). Revenues from contract 
engineering were $55,000 (10% of revenue) in the period as compared to 
$43,000 (8% of revenue) in the same period of 1996. $25,000 (4% of revenues) of 
license fee revenues were recognized in the period ended September 30, 1997. No 
license fee revenues in the period ended September 30, 1996 were recognized.

     Dycam intends to continue to pursue its standard product strategy by
facilitating the use of general purpose digital cameras, and selling a range of
Dycam branded and third party digital cameras products, software, and
accessories to selected targeted markets. Dycam, however, will continue to
increase its efforts to license its technology to others and expand the custom
product line to exploit opportunities to design products that combine custom
built digital cameras with specialized software, hardware or packaging in order
to satisfy an identified business opportunity. During 1996, Dycam devoted a
substantial portion of its resources to pursuing custom engineering business
with the goal of generating future sales. One example of this strategy is
Dycam's former relationship with

                                      10



<PAGE>
 
Forever Yours and continuing relationship with Hasco International which
purchased substantially all of the assets of Forever Yours. The core element of
the Forever Yours camera system is a specialized digital camera subsystem
engineered and produced by Dycam under an exclusive contract with Forever Yours.
In addition to the sale of cameras to Forever Yours, Dycam's arrangement with
Forever Yours provided that, in exchange for certain development and maintenance
services, Dycam would receive a 7.5% royalty on all Forever Yours sales.
Subsequent to the sale of Forever Yours to Hasco International, such fees have
been fixed at $25,000 per quarter for 12 quarters, after which time Dycam's
service obligations expire and no further license fees will be paid by Hasco.
However, Dycam believes arrangements such as its Forever Yours agreement and the
ongoing agreement with Hasco International may lead to additional contract
engineering revenues and custom camera sales opportunities.

     Gross profits are comprised of revenues less direct costs of products and 
services.  Gross profits as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 decreased to 34%, compared to 42% in the three months ended 
September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of lower gross margins on camera 
sales.  Gross margins may continue to remain at lower levels if the Company's 
custom products business does not contribute a significant portion to the 
Company's revenues or if increased service revenues are not realized.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of administrative 
expenses at the Company headquarters, the salaries of corporate officers and 
sales personnel, advertising and promotion, accounting, legal and other 
professional expenses, rent and occupancy costs.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses decreased $17,000 for the three months ended September 
30, 1997 to $274,000 (47% of revenues) from $291,000 (51% of revenues) for the 
same period in 1996.  The decrease resulted primarily from decreased Sales and 
Marketing expenses.

     Product development and research expenses decreased $20,000 to $117,000 
(20% of revenues) in the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 
$137,000 (24% of revenues) in 1996.  This decrease is attributable to reductions
in personnel, and the completion of certain developments of products introduced 
for sale in 1996.  The Company believes that continuing research and development
is essential to maintaining its competitive position, and expects to continue to
expend funds in this area.

     Inventories decreased by $241,000 to $153,000 at September 30, 1997 when 
compared to December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of continuing sales of 
older products, including the Forever Yours camera system, from inventory, and a
write down of the carrying value of that unique inventory associated with the 
Forever Yours camera system of $61,000.

     The net loss per common share was ($0.10) for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 compared to net loss per common share of ($0.09) for the 
three months ended September 30, 1996.

    Nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the Nine months ended 
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                              September 30, 1996
                              ------------------

     Revenues are derived from sales of digital cameras and supporting software
and accessory products, technology licensing fees, and contract engineering
work. Sales during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 were
$1,738,000. Total sales decreased by $345,000 (17%) from $2,083,000 for the
period ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to
decreased sales of camera equipment, increased competition, lower sales prices,
and phase out of the Model 10-C product as it approaches end of life.

     Gross profits are comprised of revenues less direct costs of products and 
services.  Gross profits as a percentage of revenues was 38% in the first nine 
months of 1997 and 40% for the comparable period in 1996.  Without receipt of 
deferred license fee payments, gross profits as a percentage of revenues would 
have decreased to approximately 31% in the first nine months of 1997, primarily 
due to lower margins on camera sales.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of administrative 
expenses at the company's headquarters, the salaries of corporate officers and 
sales personnel, advertising and promotion, accounting, legal and other 
professional expenses, rent, and other occupancy costs.  Selling, general, and 
administrative costs increased by $23,000 for the first nine months of 1997 to 
$912,000 (52% of revenues) from $889,000 (43% of revenues) for the first nine 
months of 1996.  The increase resulted primarily from an increase in one time 
expenses associated with restructuring the sales and marketing organization of 
the company in the first quarter of 1997.  Product development expenses 
decreased $75,000 to $360,000 (21% of revenues) for the nine month period 
compared to $435,000 (21% of revenues) for the same period in 1996.  The 
decrease is attributable to reductions in personnel, and the completion of 

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
cerain developments of products introduced for sale in 1996.  Depreciation and 
amortization costs for the first nine months of 1997 were $374,000.

     Net loss per common share was ($0.31) for the first nine months of 1997 and
($0.23) for the first nine months of 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 1997, Dycam had cash and short-term investments on hand of
$356,000, a decrease of $234,000 from $590,000 at December 31, 1996.

     Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased 
$58,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

     Camera equipment related to operating leases to Forever Yours, increased by
$19,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  Such camera equipment 
will be depreciated over the life of the leases.

     Current liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 1997 
increased by $34,000 to $271,000, primarily as a result of increases in payroll 
liabilities of $29,000 and deferred revenues of $17,000, offset by a decrease in
accounts payable of $19,000.

     Dycam's working capital at September 30, 1997 was $417,000 a decrease of 
$607,000 when compared to $1,024,000 at December 31, 1996.  Working capital 
decrease was primarily the result of net losses of $958,000.  The current ratio
at September 30, 1997 was 2.5 to 1 compared to 5.3 to 1 at December 31, 1996.

Dycam does not have any long term indebtedness and does not currently maintain 
                            any credit facilities.

     On December 14, 1994, Dycam loaned to Styles $500,000.  On January 25, 
1995, Dycam loaned an additional $500,000 to Styles.  Styles signed an amended 
and restated promissory note dated January 25, 1995 for the full $1,000,000 
note, bearing interest at 2% above a bank's prime rate, interest payable 
monthly, with a maturity date of September 1, 1995. Dycam subsequently extended
the maturity date of the note to December 31, 1998, and fixed the interest rate
at 10%. The interest is payable monthly.

     The Note is secured by a pledge of 1,916,667 shares of the common stock of 
Dycam owned by Styles.  Interest income of $0 and $25,000 respectively is 
included in the accompanying 1997 and 1996 three month statement of operations 
related to the Styles loan.  The note reveivable has been reflected as an offset
to stockholders' equity in the accompanying statement of stockholders' equity 
due to uncertainty regarding its ultimate collectability.  As of November 11, 
1997 interest payments for March through October of 1997 are past due.  Styles 
has informed Dycam that it is uable to satisfy the past due payments and related
penalties due under the Note, and Dycam has notified Stles that a condition of 
default under the terms of the Note has occurred.  The parties have reached an 
agreement in principle, subject to finalizing a definitive agreement, under 
which approximately 80% of the Common Stock of Dycam owned by Styles will be 
retired in order to satisfy the outstanding balance due on the Note.  Dycam has 
offset the Note interest receivables with an accrued expense for bad debt.

     Since the closing of the Rights Offering, Dycam has expended approximately
$4,900,000 of the moneys raised in that offering, which amount includes the 
above-referenced $1,000,000 secured loan to Styles.  Commencing in the second 
quarter of 1994, Dycam embarked on a program to market and sell its standard 
digital camera products to select markets.  Although Dycam was able to generate 
short term increases in sales in these markets, it has determined that a large 
market does not currently exist for its standard digital camera systems.  
Consequently, during the first quarter of 1995, Dycam decided to de-emphasize 
the sale of its internally designed standard products and will, in the future, 
concentrate its efforts on custom product development, value added distribution 
of standard digital cameras produced by others for Dycam, and cooperative 
ventures.  These cooperative ventures include Dycam's ongoing relationship with 
Hasco International and its past relationship with Forever Yours Inc., for whom 
Dycam has developed a digital imaging system designed for taking photographs of 
newborn infants.

     Dycam anticipates that its operating and research and development 
activities in fiscal 1997 will continue to

                                      12
<PAGE>
 
use cash and expects that its cash balance in fiscal 1997 will continue to 
decline.  However, Dycam believes that its existing cash balances and cash flow 
from operations will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through June 
1998, after which time it may be required to raise additional capital.  In 
addition, to the extent Dycam experiences growth in the future, or its cash flow
from operations is less than anticipated, Dycam may be required to obtain 
additional sources of cash.  The ability of the Company to raise additional 
funds and ultimately achieve positive operating cash flow is uncertain and, 
therefore, this raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going 
concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include 
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
