              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                               September 30, 1995

(1)      Basis of Presentation

         The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly
the results of operations for the periods presented.

         The information contained in this Form 10-QSB should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements filed as part of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.

(2)      Income (Loss) Per Common Share

         Income (loss) per common share has been computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.  In 1995 (loss)
per common share has been computed after deducting the dividend requirement of
the Series A Preferred Stock from net (loss). In 1994 average shares
outstanding gives effect to dilutive stock options and warrants. The assumed
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or the assumed exercise of
outstanding stock options and warrants has not been included in 1995 because
the effect would be anti-dilutive.

(3)      Dividend on Series A Preferred Stock

         During the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Company paid the
dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 by
issuing 155,662 shares of Common Stock. The par value of these shares ($155)
has been charged to additional paid-in capital.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




                                       6

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The amount of revenues earned by the Company in any one period is
dependent on, among other things, the number of projects completed during any
such period and the distribution of completed projects. Revenues from producers
and other fees are primarily dependent on the number of projects being produced
and the agreements relating to such projects. Accordingly, the amount of
revenues earned by the Company in any period are not necessarily indicative of
future revenues.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

         Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1995 consisted of
production and distribution fees from completed projects, including previously
deferred revenues that were recognized upon the completion of a television
series during the quarter. Revenues for the three months ended September 30,
1995 also included producer fees from television series and personal management
fees. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1994 included
production and distribution fees from a television series that was completed
during that quarter, producer fees from television series and personal
management fees.

         Amortization of film costs for the three months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994 were $634,000 and $2,191,734, respectively and was computed using
the individual film forecast method.

         General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 were $813,322 as compared to $983,569 for the three months
ended September 30, 1994 or a decrease of $170,242. The primary reasons for
this decrease were the termination of certain unprofitable operations of DSL,
including related compensation and other expenses, somewhat offset by legal
fees incurred in connection with lawsuits with the former President and owner
of DSL. The level of general and administrative expenses is dependent on the
level of the Company's future operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of September 30, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$293,984 and accounts receivable of $515,690 (aggregate - $809,674. At
September 30, 1995, the Company also had accounts payable and accrued expenses
of $629,823. During the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the Company used
$470,808 of cash in its operations.

         The Company's cash receipts are principally derived from exhibition
and distribution of its completed projects, producers fees and personal
management fees. These cash receipts are affected





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
by various factors including the timing of the completion, exhibition and
distribution of its completed projects and the number of projects produced.
Therefore, the Company is unable to accurately predict the level or timing of
its future cash receipts.

         The Company's cash commitments for the next twelve months include
compensation to its officers and others of approximately $1,125,000 and minimum
office rent of $220,000 (aggregate - approximately $1,345,000). The Company
also incurs overhead and other costs such as salaries, related benefits, office
expenses, professional fees and similar expenses. For the three months ended
September 30, 1995, general and administrative expenses, which includes
compensation and rent, but does not include the effects of the new employment
agreements agreed to be entered into by the Company, aggregated approximately
$813,000. The Company also expends funds on the production and development of
projects.

         The dividend on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 was subsequently paid by the Company issuing 154,662
shares of its common stock.

         The Company has no arrangements for external sources of liquidity such
as bank lines of credit and has no material commitments for capital
expenditures. Management believes that the Company's present and future
resources will be sufficient for its needs for at least the next twelve months.
