                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
               For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
                                   (Unaudited)
 
Note 1.      Interim consolidated financial statements.

     In the  opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 and 1995,  reflect all
adjustments  (consisting  only of normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to
present fairly the financial condition,  results of operation, and cash flows of
Definition,  Ltd., and subsidiaries  (the "Company") and include the accounts of
the Company and all of its subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions
and balances are eliminated.

     The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  It is suggested that these unaudited financial  statements be read
in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain  reclassifications  and
adjustments  may have been made to the financial  statements for the comparative
period of the prior fiscal year to conform with 1995  presentation.  The results
of  operations  for the interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative of the
results to be obtained for the entire year.

Part I - Item 2
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



(1)          Results of Operations

     The  three-month  period  ended  March 31,  1996 shows an  increase  in the
operations of its major  operating  subsidiary,  Interactive  Systems,  Inc. The
three months ended March 31, 1996 generated revenues of approximately $2,474,135
compared to revenues of  approximately  $358,000 for the same period ended March
31, 1995. The 1996 revenues were primarily a result of the design and production
of commercials, "infomercials" and interactive programming for both domestic and
international distribution. The principal reason contributing to the increase in
revenue is the  acquisition and  utilization of the broadcast  resource  library
that was acquired to produce  commercials,  infomercials and programming for the
various  activities of the company.  The additional media,  resources along with
the sales of airtime,  have enhanced the Companys ability to attract customers,
especially foreign customers, for production and sale of commercials, movies and
other programming developed from the broadcast resource library now owned by the
Company.

     The cost of sales for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996  increased to
approximately  $899,500,  as compared  to  approximately  $161,400  for the same
period in 1995.  This  increase is directly  related to the costs of airtime and
the production, development and editing of the programming indicated above.

     Also,  the  Company   increased   general  and   administrative   costs  by
approximately  $40,900  from  approximately  $27,500 for the three  months ended
March 31, 1995 to approximately  $68,400 for the comparable  period in 1996. The
reason for the increase was an increase in sales and production activity for the
period.  Due to the fact  that the  Company  contracts  out the  production  and
development of the commercials, infomercials and programming, the administrative
costs have been  maintained  at lower  levels.  The  Company  believes  that the
increased  sales will not cause a  proportional  increase in future  general and
administrative  costs  of  the  Company.   Depreciation  and  amortization  also
increased  significantly  due to the placement in service of significant  assets
purchased  to  be  utilized  in  the  development  of  the   "infomercials"  and
interactive  programming.  Depreciation  for  the  first  three  months  of 1996
increased over the first three months of 1995 by approximately $83,300.

     Earnings per share from operations  increased by $0.15 per share from $0.02
per share for the three months ended March 31, 1995,  to $0.17 per share for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.

(2)          Liquidity

     As of March 31,  1996,  the  Company  had a  positive  working  capital  of
approximately  $3,490,600 as compared to working capital as of December 31, 1995
of approximately $2,670,700.  The improvement in the working capital position is
related to the increase in trade accounts  receivable  and a lesser  increase in
the accounts payable.

     Management  anticipates  that the payment term  structure of trade accounts
receivable  will be  sufficient  to support the cash flow needs of the Companys
operations  and  debt  service  on the  mortgage  note  related  to  the  office
condominium purchase in January 1995.

(3)          Capital requirements

     The Company acquired an office condominium during January 1995 and does not
anticipate  further  significant  acquisition of corporate capital assets during
Calendar  1996.  Management  is of the  opinion  that any future  capital  asset
acquisitions  will be directly related to the  implementation of the interactive
computer-based  television  network (the  Parent  Academy  Network),  which is
anticipated  to  provide   programming  into  various  schools  and  educational
facilities  located in the eastern United  States.  These  acquisitions  will be
directly funded as a component of future  contracts,  if any, with the purchaser
of the Company's services.
