  The Accompanying Notes are an Integral Part of These Financial Statements


<PAGE>


[1]      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Presentation - The accompanying  interim financial  statements
are  unaudited and have been prepared in  accordance  with the  requirements  of
Regulation S-K and Form 10-Q and, therefore,  do not include all information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.  However, in the opinion of the management of the Company,
all adjustments  consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair  presentation of financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows
for the three and nine month periods ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995 have been
made.  The  results of  operations  for any interim  period are not  necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year. These financial  statements  should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained
in the annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 1996.

         Property,   Plant  and  Equipment  and  Depreciation  -  The  Company's
property,  plant and  equipment  is shown  net of  accumulated  depreciation  of
$1,638,857 as of December 31, 1996, and $1,331,100 as of March 31, 1996.

 [2]     Net Loss Per Share

         Net loss per share was calculated  based on the weighted average number
of shares  outstanding  during the periods.  Neither the 292,396  shares held in
Treasury nor the 750,000 shares held in escrow  pursuant to an escrow  agreement
between the  founding  stockholders  and the Company  have been  included in the
weighted average shares  outstanding during the year as their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.  The effect of  outstanding  stock  warrants  and options was not
included in the calculations as their effect would also be anti-dilutive.

[3]      Notes Payable

         Notes  payable of $15,036 at March  31,1996  represented  the remaining
outstanding balance of a Promissory Note of $173,425 due to the former corporate
counsel to the Company  pursuant to an agreement  dated May 1, 1995. The balance
has been  repaid  in full and the  Promissory  Note  has been  discharged  as of
December 31, 1996.

         A note payable of $48,000 is due to a former  financial  consultant  to
the Company  pursuant to a settlement  agreement dated August 17, 1994. The note
is  non-interest  bearing and payment is subject to  availability of future cash
flows from the Company's operations.

[4]      Capital Stock Transactions

         A.       Authorization for Issuance of Additional Shares

         On April 24, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up
to 3  million  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock for a price of $0.20 per
share,  which  represented  the Board of  Directors'  determination  of the fair
market value for restricted shares of stock on April 24, 1996.

         On November 29, 1996 the Board of Directors  agreed to reduce the price
for any  additional  issuance  of  shares  of Common  Stock to  $0.09375,  which
represented the fair market value at that time.

          [4]     Capital Stock Transactions (continued)

         B.       Stock Subscription

         On May 6 and 7, 1996, the Company received stock subscriptions from six
investors  totaling  $130,000 for 650,000  shares of Common  Stock.  The Company
received total payment on these subscriptions as of June 6, 1996.

         C.       Debt to Equity Conversion

         On May 7, 1996, the majority stockholder,  Photo Corporation Group Pty.
Ltd.  ("PCG"),  converted  $130,000 of its  $649,500  loan  payable into 650,000
shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  This  represented a value of $0.20 per
share of Common Stock,  which represented the Board of Directors'  determination
of the fair  market  value on this date and the same  price also paid by the six
independent investors in May 1996 (See Capital Stock Transactions, Note [4B]).

         On November 29, 1996, PCG converted  $519,000 of the remaining $519,500
note payable, together with $261,000 of accrued management fees payable to Photo
Corporation  of Australia  Pty Limited  ("PCA"),  which debt was assumed by PCG,
into 8,320,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. This represented a value of
$0.09375 per share of Common Stock,  which the Board of Directors  determined to
be a fair price at that time. In addition,  PCG suspended  management fees to it
or its related parties pursuant to the Personnel  Consulting  Agreement with the
Company  dated June 28,  1995 for a period of two years  commencing  December 1,
1996.

         D.       Increase in Authorized Number of Shares

         On July 24, 1996, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company,
the  stockholders   approved  an  amendment  to  the  Company's  certificate  of
incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company from 25,000,000 to 35,000,000.

[5]      Going Concern

         The Company incurred a net loss of $6,990,000 for the cumulative period
from March 18, 1992,  (inception)  to December 31, 1994, the period during which
the Company was  considered to be a development  stage  enterprise.  The Company
commenced  commercial  operations on May 24, 1993 and the revenues  generated by
such  operations   have  been   insufficient  to  cover  all  of  the  Company's
non-operating overhead.

         The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared on a going
concern basis which  contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of  liabilities  and   commitments  in  the  normal  course  of  business.   The
continuation  of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
have a successful commercial operating history.

[6]      Impairment of Long Lived Assets

         During  the  fiscal  year  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Company  adopted
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard (SFAS) No. 121,  Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.


                               OUT-TAKES, INC.


                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           [Unaudited, continued]



[6]      Impairment of Long Lived Assets (continued)

         As a  result  of the  Company's  continuing  operating  losses  and the
information  obtained  during  research and the development of the studio at The
Entertainment  Center at Irvine  Spectrum  located  in  Irvine,  Orange  County,
California (the "Irvine Studio"), the Company reviewed the carrying value of the
assets at its studio at  MCA/Universal  CityWalk  (the  "CityWalk  Studio")  for
impairment in the June 1995 quarter.  Management  determined  that an impairment
loss of $722,000 should be recognized. This loss was determined as the excess of
carrying value over fair value.  Fair value was determined by reference to costs
for similar assets for the Irvine Studio.


[7]      Related Party Transactions

         Robert  Shelton,  Vice  President  Development  and a  Director  of the
Company, and Leah Peterson Shelton, Vice President Operations, ceased employment
with the Company and Mr.  Shelton  also ceased as a director of the Company from
and effective September 1, 1996.

         Deferred  salaries  owing to Mr.  Shelton  and Mrs.  Peterson  Shelton,
accrued interest on deferred salaries,  accrued vacation pay and amounts payable
on termination  totaling  $274,373 were consolidated into a loan on September 1,
1996,  which is being repaid over the period through April 17, 1998. The loan is
presented on the balance sheet as "Loan Payable - Related Parties".  The loan is
secured by the  assets of the  Company  pursuant  to the  Settlement  and Mutual
Release  Agreement as of September 1, 1996,  between the Company,  Mr.  Shelton,
Mrs. Peterson Shelton and PCG. Interest expense is incurred at the prime rate of
interest  (approximately  8.25%) and in the nine months ended December 31, 1996,
was $2,823. As of December 31, 1996, interest of $554 was accrued.

         The Settlement  and Mutual  Release  Agreement  inter alia provides for
 Mr.  Shelton and Mrs.  Peterson  Shelton to act as consultants to the Company
 as requested by the Company and as agreed to by them.

         Management  fees of $261,000  payable to PCA, were accrued  pursuant to
the Personnel  Consulting  Agreement with the Company dated June 28, 1995. These
charges  cover  the  period  from  July 1,  1995,  through  November  30,  1996.
Management  fees for the two months ended  November 30, 1996,  were $35,000.  On
November 29, 1996 PCG  suspended  management  fees to it or its related  parties
pursuant to the Personnel  Consulting  Agreement with the Company dated June 28,
1995 for a period of two years from December 1, 1996. On November 29, 1996,  the
accrued  management fees of $261,000 were converted into shares of the Company's
Common Stock (See Capital Stock Transactions Note [4C]).

         The Loan from Related Party of $50,500  ($649,500 as of March 31, 1996)
was advanced by PCG. The proceeds of the $649,500  loan were used  predominantly
to fund the  construction  of the Irvine Studio and to upgrade the technology in
relation to the studio's operation. Of the $649,500 loan, $649,000 was converted
into shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock on November  29, 1996 (See  Capital
Stock  Transactions,  Note [4B]). A further  $50,000 cash was advanced by PCG in
the quarter  ended  December 31, 1996.  The Loan from Related Party is unsecured
and is payable  on demand.  Interest  expense is  incurred  at a rate of 10% per
annum and in the three  months  ended  December  31,  1996,  was  $8,080.  As of
December 31, 1996, interest of $4,071 was accrued.

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

         The  following  discussion  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
historical  financial  statements  of the  Company  and notes  thereto  included
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

         The Company currently operates two photographic  portrait studios,  the
first  of which  was  opened  on May 24,  1993 at the  MCA/Universal  CityWalkSM
project in Los Angeles,  California ("the CityWalk  Studio").  The second studio
opened on  December  9,  1995 at The  Entertainment  Center  at Irvine  Spectrum
located in Irvine, Orange County,  California ("the Irvine Studio"). The Company
engaged a consultant during the quarter ended December 31, 1996 to work with its
technical  staff  to  determine  whether  the  Travelling  Studio  could be made
operational and after some effort and expenditure the Travelling Studio has been
used in two, two day promotions.  The following  table  summarizes the Company's
adjusted  results for the three and nine month periods  ended  December 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995.

1   As indicated in the following notes, the figures have been adjusted in order
 to facilitate 1 comparison:
2   The net loss  for the  nine  month  period  ended  Dec.  31,  1996  excludes
 termination  payments totaling 2 $51,250 paid to officers of the Company.  Such
 payments were expensed prior to October 1, 1996.

3   The net loss for the nine month  period  ended Dec. 31, 1995  excludes
    $110,000 of  non-recurring professional  costs  associated  with  closing
    the Photo  Corporation  Group  Pty.  Ltd.  ("PCG") transaction. These costs
    were incurred prior to October 1, 1995.

    The net loss for the nine month period  ended Dec. 31, 1995 also  excludes a
    $722,000  non-recurring  loss on impairment of long-lived assets, a non-cash
    accounting adjustment pursuant to the adoption of SFAS No. 121. The loss was
    recorded prior to October 1, 1995.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

         As noted in the table presented above, the Company continues to operate
at a net loss. This is  predominantly  due to the poor performance of the Irvine
Studio.

         Management's  focus is on improving  revenues from the Irvine Studio by
developing   marketing  programs  to  attract  more  customers  and  creating  a
background image portfolio suitable for the market in which the Irvine Studio is
located.  There is no assurance  that this program for the Irvine Studio will be
successful.

         The Company is committed to continuing to minimize  overheads to reduce
the negative cash flow from operations.

         The Company's short term objectives are to increase the revenues of the
Irvine Studio, source additional opportunities and venues for the utilization of
the  Travelling  Studio,  continue to reduce  operating  expenses  and  minimize
overhead costs and as a consequence improve cash flows to reduce liabilities and
to enable  additional  studios to be opened in the  future.  Net  losses  (which
include  depreciation  expenses  of  approximately  $103,000  per  quarter)  are
expected to continue until the Company opens additional studios or revenues from
the existing studios, especially the Irvine Studio, increase substantially.

         On April 24, 1996 the Board of Directors  authorized the issuance of up
to 3  million  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock for a price of $0.20 per
share, which represented the fair market value of the stock on April 24, 1996 as
determined  by the  Company's  Board of  Directors.  On May 6 and 7,  1996,  the
Company received stock  subscriptions  from six investors  totaling $130,000 for
650,000 shares of Common Stock with all of the subscriptions  being paid by June
6, 1996.  On May 7, 1996,  PCG  converted  $130,000 of its $649,500 loan payable
into 650,000 shares of Common Stock. This represented a value of $0.20 per share
of Common Stock, which was the fair market value on this date and the same price
paid by the six independent investors.

         On  November  29,  1996  PCG  converted  an  additional  $780,000  into
8,320,000  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  This  represented a loan of
$519,000 and accrued management fees of $261,000 payable to Photo Corporation of
Australia Pty Limited  ("PCA"),  a subsidiary of PCG,  which debt was assumed by
PCG. This  represented a value of $0.09375 per share of Common Stock,  which the
Board of Directors'  determined,  after  extensive  deliberations,  to be a fair
price,  after taking into account,  among other things, the market price for the
Company's Common Stock, the company's financial  condition,  the illiquid nature
of the shares to be issued to PCG, and the benefits to be dervied by the Company
by the  conversion  of the debt  into  equity.  In  addition  PCG has  suspended
management  fees  to it  or  its  related  parties  pursuant  to  the  Personnel
Consulting  Agreement  with the Company dated June 28, 1995, for a period of two
years from December 1, 1996.

in the fiscal  quarter  ended  December  31,  1996 to  $287,651  as  compared to

Compensation  and related  benefits for the CityWalk  studio were $37,267 higher
than in the fiscal  quarter  ended  December  31, 1995 as a  consequence  of the
increase in revenues.  Cost of  revenues,  as a  percentage  of sales,  remained
constant between the two quarters at 79% of sales. Depreciation for the CityWalk
Studio was higher than the fiscal  quarter ended December 31, 1995, by $3,243 as
a result of the purchase, and consequent depreciation,  of additional equipment.
Rent for the CityWalk  Studio was higher than the fiscal  quarter ended December
31, 1995 by $4,095, as a result of the Company paying rent based on a percentage
of  revenues,  such  revenues  being  higher  than in the fiscal  quarter  ended
December 31, 1995 by $41,155.  Other cost of revenues  for the  CityWalk  Studio
decreased  by $12,543  as a result of  tighter  controls  over the  ordering  of
supplies, and expenditure in general. The CityWalk Studio earned gross income of
$78,163  during the fiscal  quarter  ended  December 31, 1996  compared to gross
income of $69,070 for the same period last year, an  improvement  of $9,093,  or

portfolio  of  products  available  at the  Irvine  Studio  as well as  pursuing
business  opportunities  through corporate accounts and marketing  activities to
consumers  in the  greater  Orange  County  area in an  endeavor  to improve its
revenues.

         Following  continued  modification to and development of the Travelling
Studio during the preceding  months,  limited operation of the unit commenced in
the fiscal  quarter ended December 31, 1996.  The  Travelling  Studio  generated
$5,045 of  revenues  during  the  quarter,  from two,  two day  promotions,  and
incurred $8,196 of costs, resulting in a gross loss of $3,151. Development costs
associated  with the  Travelling  Studio  have  been  included  in  General  and
Administrative  expenses.  The Travelling  Studio is  administered by the Irvine
Studio and the Company is  committed  to finding  additional  opportunities  and
venues for the utilization of the Travelling Studio.

         Overall,  the Company  earned gross income of $15,081 during the fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to gross income of $15,721 for the same
period last year. The reduction in gross income of $640 comprises the additional
gross loss of $6,582  incurred  by the  Irvine  Studio and the gross loss of the
Travelling  Studio of $3,151,  offset by the  increase in gross income of $9,093
earned by the CityWalk Studio.

         General and administrative expenses decreased by $49,885 to $176,708 in
the quarter ended  December 31, 1996 from $226,593 in the same period last year,
a decrease of 22%.  Compensation  and related  benefits  decreased by $34,560 to
$61,782 as compared to $96,342 for the same period last year.  This decrease was

profit of $658 was recorded  following the sale of surplus plant and  equipment.

non-producing  assets being put into  production  in the  Travelling  and Irvine
Studios and the  consequential  depreciation  charge  being  reported in cost of
revenues.  Other  general and  administrative  expenses  increased  by $2,656 to

         In the nine months  ended  December  31,  1996,  the Company  generated
$1,646,496  in  revenues,  compared to revenues  of  $1,177,775  during the same
period last year,  for a net  increase of  $468,721.  CityWalk  Studio  revenues
increased by $83,304 to $1,210,027,  an increase of 7%. Revenues from the Irvine
Studio in the nine months ended December 31, 1996 were  $431,424.  Revenues from
the Travelling Studio were $5,045.

         Cost of revenues  increased by 51% to $1,486,254 during the nine months
ended  December  31,  1996,  compared to $991,443 for the same period last year.
This increase is  predominantly  due to the inclusion of the Irvine Studio for a
full  nine  months  in the  period  to  December  31,  1996  compared  with only
twenty-three days of operation in the period to December 31, 1995.

         Cost of revenues for the CityWalk Studio  decreased by $13,542 or 2% in
the nine months  ended  December 31, 1996 to $873,500 as compared to $887,042 in
the same period last year.  Compensation  and related  benefits for the CityWalk
studio  were,  despite the increase in revenue,  only $4,745  higher than in the
nine months ended December 31, 1995 predominantly as a result of tighter control
over the number of hours  worked in the studio.  Depreciation  for the  CityWalk
Studio was lower by $43,355 as a result of the adoption in June 1995 of SFAS No.
121 and the  recognition  pursuant  thereto of a $722,000  loss on impairment of
CityWalk  Studio assets.  Rent for the CityWalk Studio was higher as a result of
the Company  paying rent based on a percentage of revenues,  such revenues being
higher  than in the  previous  year by $83,304.  Other cost of revenues  for the
CityWalk  Studio  increased by $14,462 as a result of the allocation of costs to
the studio which in the nine months ended December 31, 1995 had been  classified
as general and administrative  expenses. The CityWalk Studio earned gross income
of $336,527  during the nine months ended  December 31, 1996 compared to a gross
income of $239,681 for the same period last year, an improvement of $96,846,  or
40%.

         Cost of revenues  for the Irvine  Studio was  $604,558,  resulting in a
gross  loss  of  $173,134.   Included  in  cost  of  revenues  was  $133,135  of
depreciation,  a non-cash  expense.  The Irvine Studio is performing  well below
expectation  and the Company is  continuing to develop the portfolio of products
available  at the  Irvine  Studio  as well as  pursuing  business  opportunities
through corporate accounts and marketing  activities to consumers in the greater
Orange County area in an endeavor to improve its revenues.

         Overall,  the Company  earned gross income of $160,242  during the nine
months ended December 31, 1996 compared to gross income of $186,332 for the same
period  last  year.  The  reduction  in gross  income of $26,090  comprises  the
increase in gross loss of $119,785  incurred by the Irvine  Studio and the gross
loss of $3,151  incurred by the  Travelling  Studio,  offset by the  increase in
gross income of $96,846 earned by the CityWalk Studio.

         General and administrative  expenses for the nine months ended December
31, 1995 includes a $722,000  non-cash  loss on impairment of long-lived  assets
and $110,000 of  non-recurring  professional  cost expenses  relating to the PCG
transaction.  General and  administrative  expenses  for the nine  months  ended
December 31, 1996 include  $131,000 of management fees payable to PCA,  pursuant
to the  Personnel  Consulting  Agreement  dated June 28,  1995 (as  compared  to
$100,000  for the same  period  last year) and  termination  payments  to former
officers of the Company totaling  $51,250.  After adjusting for the above items,
the  Company's  general  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by $13,742 to
$482,122 in the nine months ended  December  31, 1996 from  $495,864 in the same
period last year, a decrease of 3%. Compensation and related benefits, excluding
the  termination  payments to former officers of the Company  totaling  $51,250,
increased  by $41,165 to $251,116  as  compared to $209,951  for the same period
last year.  This increase was the result of the full  allocation of costs of the
Vice  President  Operations  and the Vice  President  Development to general and
administrative  expenses  up until  the time of their  cessation  of  employment
together  with the  costs  associated  with  the  appointment  of an  Accounting
Assistant and costs  associated with the  development of the Travelling  Studio.
Professional  fees  decreased  in the nine  months  ended  December  31, 1996 to
$60,644 from $75,847  (excluding the $110,000  non-recurring  professional costs
referred to above) in the same period last year.  Depreciation  and amortization
costs were lower as a result of previously  non-producing  assets being put into
production in the Irvine Studio and the Travelling  Studio and the consequential
depreciation  charge  being  reported in cost of revenues and as a result of the
impact of the Company's  adoption of SFAS No. 121. The Company recorded a profit
of $658  upon the  sale of  surplus  plant  and  equipment.  Other  general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased  by $19,732 to $71,727  for the nine  months
ended  December 31, 1996,  compared to $91,459 for the same period last year due
to tighter  cost  controls  and the  allocation  of costs to the  studios  which
previously had been classified as general and administrative expenses.

         During the months of July through November,  1995, the Company designed
and  constructed  the  Irvine  Studio.  In  connection  with  this  work and the
Company's  continuing  operating  losses,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets. In this regard, the Company
reviewed the carrying  value of its CityWalk  Studio assets for  impairment  and
determined  that an  impairment  loss of $722,000  should be  recognized in June
1995.  This loss was reflected in the Company's  statement of operations for the
nine months ended  December 31, 1995.  The loss was  calculated as the excess of
carrying value over fair value, the latter determined by reference to prices for
the Irvine Studio assets.  This adjustment did not affect the Company's  working
capital.

         The loss from  operations  of the  Company  for the nine  months  ended
December 31, 1996, excluding the non-recurring  termination payments of $51,250,
was  $452,880,  compared with a loss from  operations  for the nine month period
ended  December 31, 1995,  excluding  the  non-recurring  loss on  impairment of
long-lived assets of $722,000 and the $110,000  non-recurring  professional cost
expense relating to the PCG transaction was $409,532, an increase in the loss of
$43,348 over the same period last year.

         Interest charges  totalling  $45,691 were incurred on the loan from PCG
and on the deferred salaries accrual owing to former officers of the Company.
There were no such charges in the prior year.

         The net loss of the Company for the nine months ended December 31, 1996
was $549,680 as compared to a net loss of $1,238,628 incurred in the same period
last year.

         As of December  31,  1996,  the Company  has net  operating  loss carry
forwards of approximately  $9.5 million.  The ability to utilize $8.3 million of
these losses to be offset  against  future  taxable  income is  restricted  as a
result of the change in control  arising  from the PCG  transaction.  The losses
will expire in June, 2011.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         On December  31,  1996,  the Company had a working  capital  deficit of
$420,619  as  compared  to a  working  capital  deficit  on  March  31,  1996 of
$1,216,713.  The reduction in working  capital deficit of $796,094 was primarily
attributable to the cash proceeds of stock subscriptions  received in the fiscal
quarter  ended June 30, 1996 from six  investors  totaling  $130,000 for 650,000
shares of Common Stock, together with the conversion of a $649,000 loan from PCG
and $261,000 of accrued  management  fees payable to PCA, which debt was assumed
by PCG, into 8,970,000 shares of Common Stock.

         Net cash used in operating  activities was $164,033 for the nine months
ended  December  31,  1996,  compared to $259,379 for the same period last year.
This decrease was primarily a result of the reduction in the Company's net loss.
It was also the result of the Company having virtually  completed the previously
agreed  repayments  over time of certain  long  outstanding  trade  payables and
accrued liabilities. These agreements were entered into in fiscal 1995.

         The Company currently has no commitments for capital expenditure.

         In the three  months ended  December  31,  1996,  $50,000 of funds were
loaned  to the  Company  by PCG for  working  capital  requirements.  A  further
$120,000 has been loaned to the Company in the period to February 6, 1997.

         The Company does not currently have any  established,  external sources
of funding.  To the extent that the Company requires  additional funds, it would
currently seek to raise such funds through the sale of securities or through new
borrowings from PCG.  However,  no assurance can be given that additional  funds
can be obtained from such sources.


Other Matters

         On August 31, 1996, Michael C. Roubicek, Vice President of the Company,
was elected to the Board of Directors of the Company to fill the vacancy created
by Mr. Robert Shelton's cessation as a director of the Company.
