                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

     Set forth below is the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of
Operations Data for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997.  The Unaudited Pro
Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended May 31,
1997 (i) gives pro forma effect to the acquisition of Intersound, Inc.
("Intersound" or the "Acquisition") and (ii) reflects the debt borrowed to
finance the Acquisition, both as if such transaction had occurred on June 1,
1996.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet at May 31, 1997 is
herein incorporated by reference to the Company's Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), on August 29, 1997 as
the Company's actual consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 1997 reflects the
Acquisition.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data presented herein is
based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations does not purport
to represent what the Company's results of operations would have been if the
events described above had occurred as of the date indicated or what such
results will be for any future periods.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial data is based upon assumptions and adjustments that the Company
believes are reasonable.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data
and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with (i) the
historical financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto,
which are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
August 29, 1997 and (ii) the historical financial statements of Intersound,
including the notes thereto, which are included in its Form 8-K/A filed with
the SEC on April 21, 1997.

(a)  The historical statement of operations data for Intersound represents the
     unaudited results of operations from June 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996. 
     The operations of Intersound for the months of January through May 1997 are
     reflected in the Platinum amounts.  The Acquisition has been accounted for 
     as a purchase totaling $41,000,000 which exceeds the fair value of the 
     assets acquired by $6,098,000, which represents goodwill. See financial 
     statements and notes thereto of Intersound, Inc. incorporated herein by 
     reference.

(b)  The pro forma adjustments include the unaudited activities of Red Rewmar
     Music, Inc., Rappel Music, Inc. and Spec Twelve Music, Inc. for the 
     six month period ended December 31, 1996 that were acquired simultaneously
     with the Acquisition and not reflected in the historical Intersound 
     amounts. Such adjustments increased licensing, publishing and other 
     revenues, cost of artist project and other revenues, and selling, general 
     and administrative expenses by $61,000, $41,000 and $2,000, respectively.

(c)  The adjustment to depreciation and amortization consists of an increase in
     amortization of music catalog, music publishing rights and goodwill
     acquired from Intersound, Inc. over a 25-year period, as if such purchase
     had occurred on June 1, 1996.

(d)  The adjustment to interest expense reflects additional interest expense
     that would have been incurred had the consideration in the form of debt
     related to the Acquisition been incurred on June 1, 1996 ($2,183,000).
     The interest expense related to additional debt incurred by the Company in
     connection with the Acquisition is based on bank borrowings of $28,856,000
     with an average interest rate of 12.00% per annum and convertible
     debentures of $5,000,000 with an interest rate of 8.00%.  In addition, the
     historical interest expense incurred by Intersound ($194,000) has been
     eliminated as the related debt was paid in full upon the closing of the
     Acquisition.
