                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1.  Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

          In the opinion of management,  the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,  reflect all
     adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
     present  fairly the financial  condition,  results of  operations  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 Companys
     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 the 1995
     presentation.  The results of  operations  for the interim  periods are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the entire year.

Note 2.  Subsequent Event

          Subsequent  to June 30,  1996,  the  Company  issued  to a  consultant
     190,000 shares of its Common Stock in consideration of consulting  services
     rendered by such consultant.  Such shares were valued, in the aggregate, at
     approximately  $534,000,  which amount will appear as a charge  against the
     Companys earnings during the period to end September 30, 1996.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
              Results of Operations.

General

          The  discussion  below  pertains  to the  financial  condition  of the
     Company,  including  subsidiary  operations,  for the three  months and six
     months ended June 30, 1996,  and 1995,  as well as for each of the business
     segments of the Company for such periods.  The Companys  business segments
     are: (I) television  segment,  which includes the operation of a television
     station,  sales of copies of its film  library to  television  stations and
     production  of  infomercials  and  educational  programs;  (ii)  multimedia
     segment,  which includes  parental  education  programs,  computer hardware
     sales and cable television/internet  operations;  and (iii) import segment,
     which  involves  the import  and sale of  objects  of art and other  items,
     including  furniture.  Unless otherwise noted,  references to the Company
     include all of its subsidiaries.

Results of Operations

          Three Months  Ended June 30, 1996,  versus Three Months Ended June 30,
     1995.  Revenues  from the Companys  operations  for the three months ended
     June  30,1996  (Current  Period),  were  $1,121,660  (unaudited),  a  62%
     increase  in revenues  from the three  months  ended June 30, 1995  (Prior
     Period), of $694,506 (unaudited). This substantial increase in revenues is
     due to the Companys  exploitation  of its film library and  development of
     its Import Segment.  However, during the Current Period, the Companys cost
     of sales as a percentage of revenues increased  significantly,  from 20% in
     the  Prior  Period  to 70% in  the  Current  Period.  The  increase  in the
     Companys  cost of  sales  as a  percentage  of  revenues  is  attributable
     primarily to costs of duplicating for sale the Companys film library.  The
     Company  expects its cost of sales as a percentage of revenues to remain at
     its present level for the remainder of Fiscal 1996. The increase in cost of
     sales  caused  the  Company  to report a lower  gross  profit  of  $329,901
     (unaudited)  in the Current  Period  compared to a gross profit of $555,222
     (unaudited) for the Prior Period. The Companys  operating expenses for the
     Current  Period were $260,806  (unaudited),  a 27% reduction from the Prior
     Period, when operating expenses were $354,933  (unaudited).  This reduction
     in operating expenses is attributable to a 45% decrease in depreciation and
     amortization from the Prior Period,  which offset a 33% increase in general
     and administrative  expenses during the Current Period. The Company expects
     to continue to incur general and administrative  expenses at similar levels
     during the remainder of Fiscal 1996,  or about 10% of revenues,  until such
     time as its revenues  from the  Television  Segment  return to prior levels
     (see discussion below under Television  Segment).  Income from operations
     for  the  Current  Period  was off  66%  from  the  Prior  Period,  $69,095
     (unaudited)  from  $200,289  (unaudited),  while net income for the current
     period fell 78%, $44,304 (unaudited) from $197,280 (unaudited).  Subsequent
     to June 30, 1996 and pursuant to a consulting agreement, the Company issued
     to a  consultant  190,000  shares of its Common Stock in  consideration  of
     consulting  services  rendered on behalf of the  Company.  Such shares were
     valued at $2.8125 per share,  or $534,375,  in the  aggregate.  Such amount
     will appear in the  Companys  financial  statements  for the period to end
     September 30, 1996, as an expense and will,  therefore,  significantly  and
     negatively impact the Companys net income for such interim period.
<PAGE>


          Television  Segment - Current Period versus Prior Period.  Revenues of
     the  Television  Segment for the Current  Period were $104,360  (unaudited)
     compared  to  revenues  of  $694,506  (unaudited)  for  the  Prior  Period.
     Additionally, the Television Segments Current Periods reduced revenues is
     even more dramatic when compared to its revenues for the three months ended
     March 31,  1996,  of  $2,408,135  (unaudited).  This  dramatic  decrease in
     revenues  of the  Television  Segment  is  attributable  to  the  Companys
     television  station  being  removed from the local cable  operators  basic
     package.  The Company  believes  such  removal to have been  wrongful and a
     breach of its  agreement  with the local  cable  operator;  the  Company is
     attempting  to have its  stations  signal  reinstated  to the local  cable
     operators  basic  package,  but no prediction can be made as to whether or
     when that would occur, if ever.  Should the Company not return to the local
     cable operators basic package within the very near future,  it is possible
     that the Company would institute legal proceedings  against the local cable
     operator to recover  damages and to have its signal  again  included in the
     basic cable package. There can be no prediction with respect to the outcome
     of any such litigation,  should  litigation be commenced in this situation.
     The Current Periods reduced revenues from sales of television  advertising
     is a result of an adjustment in the Companys pre-sold  advertising,  which
     adjustment was negotiated as a result of the Companys television stations
     having been removed from the local cable  operators  basic package.  It is
     not expected that revenues from sales of television advertising will return
     to prior levels unless and until the Companys station returns to the local
     cable operators  basic package.  However,  in an effort boost  advertising
     sales in the near and  short  term,  the  Company  will,  in the  immediate
     future, place its television  stations signal on the internet,  which will
     be available to internet participants  worldwide. No prediction can be made
     as to the level of success  such a  strategy  will  have.  Also  within the
     Television  Segment  during  the  Current  Period,  sales of  copies of the
     Companys film library were  dramatically  down from the three months ended
     March 31, 1996. The Company anticipates that sales of its film library will
     continue to be inconsistent,  with some reporting  periods showing dramatic
     increases  while  others  dramatic  decreases.  Because  sales  of the film
     library are  expected to be sporadic  in nature,  the  fluctuation  of this
     business within the Television  Segment will, for the  foreseeable  future,
     result in  fluctuations  in the Companys  overall  performance  during any
     particular reporting period.

          Multimedia  Segment - Current  Period  versus  Prior  Period.  For the
     Current Period, the Company had revenues of $117,300  (unaudited)  compared
     to no revenues for the Prior Period. Substantially all of the revenues from
     the Current  Period were  derived from sales of computer  hardware  made in
     connection  with the Companys  Parent  Academy  Network (the  Network)
     project currently underway in the Baltimore,  Maryland,  school system. The
     Network provides  interactive  teaching materials to member schools,  based
     upon a  video  and  computer  platform,  utilizing  educational  materials,
     certain of which are,  and will be,  produced by the  Companys  Television
     Segment.  The Network  attempts to bring  parents,  teachers  and  students
     together  in an  educational  learning  partnership,  all  with a  view  to
     increasing student attendance and parental involvement, as well as reducing
     delinquency  and  crime  in  participating  schools  and  their  respective
     communities.  The Company, through a subsidiary,  is the exclusive provider
     of technical support and consultant to the Network. There are currently six
     schools participating in the Network, and the Company is to be paid for its
     services to each such school on a monthly basis.  However,  the Company has
     not been paid currently by every  participating  school,  and, in addition,
     has had no  communication  from its  partner in the  Network.  The  Company
     expects to be forced to institute  litigation  to recover some  $323,000 it
     has invested in the Network,  as well as for an accounting,  because of the
     lack of  communication  from its Network  partner.  During the remainder of
     Fiscal 1996,  the Company  expects to generate  additional  revenues in the
     Multimedia  Segment through sales of design  services  relating to internet
     pages and  through  the  exploitation  of a concept  known as an  Internet
     Business Center.  There is no assurance that such activities will generate
     significant cash flow during the remainder of Fiscal 1996.

          Import  Segment.  The  Import  Segment is a newly  operating  business
     segment.  During the Current  Period,  the Import  Segment had  revenues of
     $900,000 (unaudited).  The Import Segment conducts is business by importing
     works of art and  other  items of a  cultural  nature,  then  selling  such
     merchandise  in  cooperation  with  Southebys  Auction  House and Hoffstra
     University,  Hempstead,  New York. The Company  expects that it will report
     increasing revenues attributable to the Import Segment for the three months
     to end September 30, 1996,  and for the remainder of Fiscal 1996.  Further,
     it is expected that the Company will gain significant  liquidity during the
     period  to end  September  30,  1996,  as result  of the  Import  Segments
     operations, although there is no assurance that such will be the case.
<PAGE>

          Six Months Ended June 30, 1996, versus Six Months Ended June 30, 1995.
     Overall,  revenues from the Companys  operations  for the six months ended
     June   30,1996   (Interim   1996),   were   $3,595,795   (unaudited),   a
     over-threefold increase in revenues from the six months ended June 30, 1995
     (Interim 1995), of $1,052,506  (unaudited).  This substantial increase in
     revenues  is due to the  Companys  exploitation  of its film  library  and
     development of its Import  Segment.  However,  during the Interim 1996, the
     Companys   cost  of  sales  as  a   percentage   of   revenues   increased
     significantly.  The increase in the Companys cost of sales as a percentage
     of revenues is attributable  primarily to costs of duplicating for sale the
     Companys  film  library.  In spite of the  increase in cost of sales,  the
     Company  to report a higher  gross  profit of  $1,904,490  (unaudited)  for
     Interim 1996 compared to a gross profit of $751,841 (unaudited) for Interim
     1995.  The  Companys  operating  expenses for Interim  1996 were  $556,072
     (unaudited), a 19% increase from Interim 1995, when operating expenses were
     $451,757 (unaudited).  This increase in operating expenses is commensurate
     with the Companys  overall  increase in revenues  achieved  during Interim
     1996. General and administrative expenses during Interim 1996 were $254,935
     (unaudited), a doubling of similar expenses incurred during Interim 1995 of
     $111,990 (unaudited).  The Company expects to continue to incur general and
     administrative  expenses at similar, or slightly higher,  levels during the
     remainder  of Fiscal  1996,  and until such time as its  revenues  from the
     Television  Segment  return to prior  levels.  Income from  operations  for
     Interim  1996 was up over 400% from  Interim  1995,  while net  income  for
     Interim  1996  was  up  approximately  300%  from  Interim  1995,  $887,352
     (unaudited) from $296,664 (unaudited). The Company expects that income from
     operations  and net income results from the second half of Fiscal 1996 will
     not keep pace with the levels achieved during Interim 1996.

          Television  Segment - Interim 1996 versus Interim 1995.  Revenues from
     the Television Segment for Interim 1996 were $2,512,495 (unaudited), a more
     than 200% increase in revenues from Interim 1995. Approximately 80% of such
     revenues  were derived from sales of its film library to a single  European
     customer.  It is expected  that the trend of large  sales to few  customers
     will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company also expects that any
     future  sales of its film  library  will be made to  customers  in  Europe,
     although  the Company has  continued to market its film library to domestic
     television stations and expects to experience  increased sales domestically
     in the near future. However, no assurance can be made in this regard.

          Multimedia  Segment - Interim 1996 versus  Interim  1995.  For Interim
     1996, the Multimedia Segment had revenues of $183,300  (unaudited) compared
     to revenues of $13,000  (unaudited) for Interim 1995.  Substantially all of
     the revenues from Interim 1996 were derived from sales of computer hardware
     made in  connection  with the  Network  project  currently  underway in the
     Baltimore,  Maryland,  school system.  During the remainder of Fiscal 1996,
     the Company  expects to  generate  additional  revenues  in the  Multimedia
     Segment  through sales of design  services  relating to internet  pages and
     through  the  exploitation  of a  concept  known as an Internet  Business
     Center.   There  is  no  assurance  that  such  activities  will  generate
     significant cash flow during the remainder of Fiscal 1996.

          Segment Information - Domestic/Foreign  Revenues. During Interim 1996,
     approximately  60% of the  Companys  revenues  were  derived from a single
     foreign customer,  World Wide Trading of Venice, Italy, while the remainder
     of its revenues were derived from domestic  sources.  Approximately  25% of
     the  Companys  revenues  during  Interim  1996 were  derived from a single
     domestic customer, Da Verona, Inc., Corpus Christi, Texas.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          June 30, 1996.  Since  December 31, 1995,  the  Companys  position of
     liquidity has  deteriorated.  At June 30, 1996, the Companys cash and cash
     equivalents  were  $9,030  (unaudited),  down from  $177,450  (audited)  at
     December 31, 1995. However,  the Companys overall working capital position
     was  improved at June 30,  1996,  to  $3,765,979  (unaudited),  compared to
     working capital of $3,489,557 (unaudited) at March 31, 1996, and $2,670,719
     (audited)  at  December  31,  1995.  This  increase  in working  capital is
     attributable  to a 68%  increase  in accounts  receivable,  which more than
     offset the decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 1995, to
     June 30, 1996. As described above, the Companys  working capital available
     for use in  operations  was  significantly  impaired at June 30, 1996,  and
     continues  to be so  impaired  currently,  due  primarily  to the  loss  of
     revenues  from sales of  television  advertising  occurring  during the six
     months ended June 30,  1996.  The Company  expects that its Import  Segment
     will, during the last part of September 1996, begin to generate significant
     positive cash flow,  which will alleviate the existing lack of liquidity of
     the Company.  The Import  Segment  expects to derive its positive cash flow
     based on an agreement  (currently  oral in nature,  which is expected to be
     reduced to writing) with an unaffiliated third party whereby the Company is
     to receive  approximately $10 (market value) of mostly Italian  merchandise
     for every $1 of Company accounts receivable, up to $20,000,000. The Company
     believes that this credit exchange  arrangement will allow the Company to
     generate cash on a very short-term basis, rather that having to wait one to
     two years for its accounts receivable to mature and be collected.  To date,
     approximately  $2,000,000 of  merchandise  has been received by the Company
     under such arrangement.

          Cash Flow from Operating Activities. The Companys operations provided
     $133,214  (unaudited) in cash for Interim 1996,  substantially all of which
     cash was provided by the Television  Segment.  Management expects that cash
     flows from  operating  activities  will  increase  during the  remainder of
     Fiscal  1996 and the first half of Fiscal  1997.  It is  expected  that the
     Import Segment will be the primary source of such increased cash flows,  if
     such an increase is achieved.

          Cash Flow  from  Investing  Activities.  Investing  activities  of the
     Company  used  cash in  Interim  1996  of  $301,285  (unaudited).  $255,394
     (unaudited)  of  such  amount  was  used  for  purchases  of  property  and
     equipment,  of which  $45,891  (unaudited)  was  invested in the  Companys
     Parent  Academy  Network (the  Network)  project.  During the  remainder of
     Fiscal  1996,  the Company  expects to  purchase  additional  property  and
     equipment  as needed,  which  purchases  are expected to be  comparable  in
     nature and amount as occurred  during Interim 1996,  while the Company does
     not anticipate  further  investment in the Network,  unless and until it is
     able to reestablish a working relationship with its partner in the Network.
     No return on such  investment  is expected to be received by the Company in
     the foreseeable future.

          Cash Flow from  Financing  Activities.  The Company had no significant
     financing  activity  during  Interim  1996.  The Company does not currently
     intend to seek any financing  sources  during the remainder of Fiscal 1996.
     Nevertheless,  should an  opportunity  relating to financing  arise,  it is
     possible that the Company would avail itself of such an opportunity.

Capital Expenditures

          The  Company  does not expect to  acquire  any  capital  assets in the
     foreseeable  future.  However,  the Company has announced that its Board of
     Directors has  authorized  exploratory  discussions  relating to a business
     combination   transaction  with  Dallas,   Texas-based   TeleWorld.   These
     discussions  are very  preliminary in nature and there can be no prediction
     made with respect to the result of such discussions.
