                          Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                            (Unaudited)



 
(1)  Basis of Presentation
 
         In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited condensed 
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments  (consisting of normal
recurring  items)  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of  
Laser-Pacific Media Corporation  ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of 
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the consolidated  results of  operations  
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,  and the  
consolidated  statements of cash flows for the six month  periods  ended  June 
30,  1995 and 1996.  The  Company's  business  is  subject  to the prime  time
television  industry's typical seasonality.  Historically,  revenues and income 
from operations have been highest during the first and  fourth  quarters,  when
production  of  television  programs  and demand for the  Company's  services  
is at its highest.  The net income or loss of any interim quarter is seasonally
disproportionate  to revenues since selling,  general and administrative  
expenses and certain operating expenses remain relatively constant during the 
year.  Therefore,  interim results are not indicative of results to be expected 
for the entire fiscal year.

         The 1995 financial data has been reclassified to conform with the 
current year's presentation.

         In accordance  with the directives of the Securities and Exchange  
Commission  under Rule 10-01 of Regulation  S-X, the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements  and  footnotes  have  been  condensed  and  do not  
contain  certain information included in the Company's annual consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto.

(2) Loss per Share
 
         Net loss per common and common  equivalent  shares are based upon the 
weighted  average number of common and common equivalent  shares  outstanding.  
The outstanding  stock options,  warrants and convertible  notes have not been 
included in the calculations as their effect would not be material or would be 
anti-dilutive.

 (3)  Income Taxes
         The Company did not provide for income  taxes for the six month  period
ending June 30, 1996 due to the  operating losses incurred and estimates of the 
effective tax rate for the full fiscal year.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

         Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased to  
$12,463,000  from  $13,717,000  for the same year-ago period,  a decrease of  
$1,254,000  or 9.1%.  This  decrease in revenues is comprised of a decrease of 
$86,000 in Production Services,  a decrease of $150,000 in Film  Production  
Services and a decrease of  $1,018,000 in Post  Production  Services.
The  Revenues  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 at the  Company's  U.S.  
facilities  decreased  $1,060,000  versus the year-ago period,  while revenues 
from  International  Operations  decreased $194,000 versus the year-ago period. 
The decline in revenues was primarily  caused by a reduction in Spectra Edit 
System  rentals and related  services  brought about by the technological 
advancement of competing editing systems.

         Revenues  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996  decreased  to  
$4,940,000  from  $5,366,000  for the same  year-ago period,  a decrease of 
$426,000 or 7.9%.  The decline in revenues for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996 
was  primarily due to the decline in Spectra Edit System rentals cited above.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company  recorded a gross 
profit of $697,000  compared  with  $2,504,000 for the same year-ago  period.  
Operating costs for six months ended June 30, 1996 were $11,766,000  versus  
$11,213,000 for the  year-ago  period.  Operating  costs,  as a  percentage  of 
revenues  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 were 94.4% compared  with 
82.7% for the same  year-ago  period.  The  increase in  operating  costs is  
primarily  the  consequence  of accelerated  depreciation  resulting from 
obsolescence and an increase in labor expense,  partially offset by a reduction 
in health insurance costs.

         For the quarter  ended June 30, 1996 the Company  recorded a gross loss
of $669,000  compared to a gross  profit of $215,000  for the same  year-ago  
period.  Operating  costs for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1996 were  
$5,609,000  versus $5,152,000 for the year ago period.  Operating  costs,  as a 
percentage of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were 113.5% compared 
with 98.8% for the year ago period.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  (S, G & A), and other  expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $2,403,000 as compared to 
$2,160,000 during the same year-ago period, an increase of  $243,000 or 11.3%.

         S, G & A, and other  expenses  for the three  months  ended June 30, 
1996 were  $1,099,000  as compared to $725,000 during the same  year-ago  
period,  an  increase  of $374,000 or 51.6%.  The  increase in S, G & A, and 
other  expenses  was primarily due to one-time  credits  applied,  resulting  
from legal  settlements,  which were applied  against  professional expenses 
during the second quarter of 1995.
 
         Interest  expense for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 was $754,000
compared to $916,000 for the same  year-ago period,  a decrease of $162,000 or 
17.7%.  Interest  expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $357,000
compared to $447,000 for the same  year-ago  period,  a reduction of $90,000 or 
20.1%.  The  reduction in interest  expense  resulted from  negotiation of lower
variable  interest rates from the Company's  principal lender and decreases in 
the prime interest rate.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company and its  subsidiaries  are operating  under a loan 
agreement with The CIT  Group/Credit  Finance with a maturity date of August 3, 
2000. The maximum  credit under the  agreement is $9 million.  The loan  
agreement  provides for borrowings up to $5.4 million under the term loan 
(limited to 85% of eligible  equipment  appraisal  value) and $3.6 million
under the revolving  loan (limited to 85% of eligible  accounts  receivable).  
The term loan ($4.8 million at June 30, 1996) is payable in monthly  
installments  of $106,000  plus interest at prime plus 2% through May 15, 2001.
The  revolving  loan ($305,000 at June 30, 1996) bears interest at prime plus 2%
which is payable monthly.  The loan contains  automatic  renewal provisions  for
successive  terms of two years  thereafter  unless  terminated as of August 3, 
2000 or as of the end of any renewal  term by  either  party by  giving  the 
other  party at least 60 day  written  notice.  The  loans  are  secured  by
substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

        The  Company  has  outstanding  borrowings  at June 30,  1996 of $50,000
with the Bank of  California.  The loan is secured by certain real property and 
Pacific Video Canada stock,  payable in monthly  installments  of $50,000 plus 
interest at prime plus 3% through August 1996. The loan  agreement  contains  
restrictive  covenants,  including  limits with respect to capital  expenditures
and termination of real property  leases,  written consent prior to issuance of 
warrants and stock, and that the Company  provide  written  notice to the bank 
of the  occurrence  of default.  The Company was not in technical compliance 
with the above mentioned  covenants,  however,  those defaults are not of a 
material nature. On July 26, 1996 the Company made the final payment on the 
loan and the Bank of California released the security.

        The Company has an outstanding  real estate loan  agreement  with Bank 
of America dated February 29, 1996,  which is secured by the building where the 
Company  provides film  processing  and sound  services.  This loan  agreement  
matures on December  31, 1998 with an option to extend the  maturity an  
additional  year upon payment to the Bank of America a $25,000 loan extension 
fee prior to December 31, 1998.

        The  Company's  principal  source  of funds is cash  generated  by  
operations.  On an  annual  basis,  the  Company anticipates that existing cash 
balances and  availability  under existing loan agreements and cash generated 
from operations will be  sufficient to service  existing  debt. To fund  
expenditures  relating to the upgrading of the Company's  plant and equipment  
the Company will seek  additional  financing  from new sources  and/or  
restructure  current  debt with  existing lenders.
