                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     [Unaudited]



[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-X 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 month  periods  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997 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-K for the year ended March 31, 1998.



Plant and Equipment  and  Depreciation  - The  Company's  plant and equipment is
shown net of  accumulated  depreciation  of $1,992,862 as of June 30, 1998,  and
$2,007,893 as of March 31, 1998.



[2] Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share was calculated based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding  during the periods.  The 292,396  shares held in Treasury  have not
been  included in the weighted  average  shares  outstanding  during the year as
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  The effect of outstanding stock options
was  not  included  in  the  calculations  as  their  inclusion  would  also  be
anti-dilutive.



[3] Notes Payable

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.

The note holder has threatened to commence legal action,  however management has
advised the note holder that no amount is due at the present time as the Company
has not  generated  positive  cashflow.  Counsel has advised the Company that no
litigation  has  commenced  and counsel is unable to assess a possible  outcome,
should litigation be commenced.



[4] New Authoritative Pronouncements

The  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board  ("FASB")  has  issued  Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS No.
130 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  Earlier
application is permitted.  Reclassification of financial  statements for earlier
periods  provided  for  comparative  purposes is  required.  SFAS No. 130 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company.

The FASB has issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  About Segments of an Enterprise
and  Related  Information".  SFAS No. 131  changes how  operating  segments  are
reported  in  financial  statements  and  requires  the  reporting  of  selected
information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial  reports issued to
shareholders. SFAS No. 131 is effective for periods beginning after December 15,
1997 and comparative  information for earlier years is to be restated.  SFAS No.
131 need not be applied to interim  financial  statements in the initial year of
its  application.  SFAS No. 131 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company.

                               [Unaudited, continued]
[5] Going Concern

The Company commenced commercial operations on May 24, 1993 and as of August 10,
1998 the Company has been  unsuccessful in generating net cash from  operations.
The net cash used by the  Company in  operating  activities  in the three  month
period  ended June 30,  1998 was  $50,607.  The  Company  incurred a net loss of
$77,777 for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 and has a working capital
deficit as of June 30, 1998 of $934,355.

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 generate net
cash from operations or to raise funds through debt and/or equity financing. The
Company's  recurring  operating losses and net working capital deficiency raises
substantial  doubt about the  entity's  ability to continue as a going  concern.
Management's  plans include  improving the revenues from the CityWalk Studio and
continuing the reduction of expenses.  There can be no assurance that management
will be successful in these  endeavors and if not, the Company will be dependent
upon  the  willingness  and  the  ability  of the  majority  stockholder,  Photo
Corporation  Group Pty  Limited  ("PCG"),  to  continue  to  provide  additional
financing.

PCG has  advised the Company  that it is not  committed  to continue to fund the
Company and may at any time decide that it will not advance any additional funds
to the Company.  In such event,  it is likely that the Company will be unable to
meet its current obligations, which may result in the commencement of insolvency
proceedings   with  respect  to  the  Company.   The  Board  of  Directors  has,
accordingly,  commenced exploration of alternative courses of action, to address
this contingency.

[6] 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 paid over the period through April 17, 1998.
The  outstanding  liability  as of March 31, 1998 of $1,347 is  presented on the
balance sheet as "Compensation  Payable Related  Parties".  Interest expense was
incurred  at the prime rate of  interest  (approximately  8.5%) and in the three
months ended June 30, 1998, was $4.

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.

The amount Due to Related Party of $766,814  ($721,227 as of March 31, 1998) was
advanced by PCG.  The balance  consists of $750,500  advanced to the Company and
$16,314 of expenses paid by Photo Corporation of Australia Pty Limited ("PCA") a
subsidiary of PCG, on behalf of the Company (March 31, 1998:  $715,500  advanced
to the Company and $5,727 of expenses paid on behalf of the Company).  The funds
advanced  to the  Company  have been used  predominantly  to fund the day to day
operations  of the business  and to fund the payments due to former  officers of
the  Company.  The amount Due to Related  Party is  unsecured  and is payable on
demand. Interest expense is charged at a rate of 10% per annum and for the three
months  ended June 30,  1998,  was  $21,360.  As of June 30,  1998,  interest of
$77,812 was accrued.

The weighted  average interest rate on short term borrowings as of June 30, 1998
was approximately 10%.

[7] Capital Stock Transactions - Escrow Shares

In  March,  1992,  1,900,000  shares  were  issued  to  the  Company's  founders
("Founders")  and  deferred  compensation  of  $364,800  was  recorded  for  the
1,900,000 shares.  Included in the 1,900,000 shares were 1,150,000 shares issued
to the  Founders  for  services  in  connection  with the  incorporation  of the
Company.  Accordingly,  $220,800 was amortized as compensation  expense in 1992.
The  remaining  750,000  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock were placed into
escrow for the benefit of the Founders.  As the Company's  pre-tax  earnings did
not equal or exceed the  required  threshold  level,  in May of 1998 the Company
requested  that the shares be returned to the Company to be placed in  Treasury.
The  financial  statements  reflect the  reversal of the  deferred  compensation
attributable to these shares,  however the share data will be adjusted as of the
date the shares are returned.

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  Out-Takes  Inc.  ("the  Company")  and notes  thereto
included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.


Overview


The Company currently operates a photographic  portrait studio,  which opened on
May 24, 1993 at the MCA/Universal CityWalkSM project in Los Angeles,  California
("the CityWalk Studio").  The Company opened a second studio on December 9, 1995
at The Entertainment Center at Irvine Spectrum located in Irvine, Orange County,
California  ("the Irvine  Studio").  The Irvine Studio closed on April 22, 1998.
The following table summarizes the Company's results for the three month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997.

                                                 Three months ended June 30,

                                                     1998           1997
                                                     ----           ----

Closing Bid Price per Share
  of Common Stock                               $   0.011         $    0.06


As noted in the table presented above, the Company continues to operate at a net
loss.  The Irvine  Studio  incurred  net losses of  $1,058,283  from the date of
opening in December 1995 until closure in April 1998.  Management  believes that
the closure of the Irvine  Studio will have a positive  impact on the  Company's
operating  results as no further  losses will be incurred by the Irvine  Studio.
The Company's  short term  objectives are to improve  revenues from the CityWalk
Studio and continue the reduction of expenses.  Notwithstanding,  net losses are
expected to  continue  unless and until the  revenue  stream  from the  CityWalk
Studio increases substantially.

On April 22, 1998,  following  extensive  negotiations  with the  landlord,  the
Company  closed the Irvine Studio and the lease was  terminated  with no further
obligations  to the  Company.  Costs  associated  with the closure of the Irvine
Studio totaled  $164,745 and were accrued as of March 31, 1998.  Included in the
$164,745 was  approximately  a $135,000  non-cash  loss on disposal of leasehold
improvements  and write off of  equipment  identified  as only  being of use for
spare  parts  for  the  CityWalk  Studio  and an  estimated  $14,000  additional
operating losses for the period April 1, 1998, through the date of closure.

To assist the Company in funding its day to day  operations,  Photo  Corporation
Group Pty Limited  ("PCG")  provided the Company with $35,000 of cash during the
period April 1, 1998 to August 10,  1998.  In  addition,  effective  December 1,
1996, PCG agreed not to charge  management  fees for services  provided by it or
its related  parties  pursuant to the Personnel  Consulting  Agreement  with the
Company dated June 28, 1995, for a period of two years. The Company has recorded
a capital  contribution of $2,200 for management fees for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 based upon management's belief that this represents the reasonable
cost of doing  business,  for services  performed by PCG  personnel in the three
month period ended June 30, 1998.

In the fiscal  quarter ended June 30, 1998,  the Company  generated  $245,918 in
revenues,  compared to revenues of $333,149  during the same period last year, a
net  decrease of  $87,231.  Of this  decrease,  $86,033 is  attributable  to the
closure of the Irvine Studio.

CityWalk  Studio revenues  remained  consistent at $245,918 for the three months
ended June 30,  1998  compared  with  $247,116  for the same  period  last year.
Management  continues  to explore  promotional  opportunities  to  increase  the
Studio's sales.

Despite  management's  substantial  efforts to increase  the  revenues  from the
Irvine  Studio,  management  concluded  in the fourth  quarter of the year ended
March 31, 1998 that the only way to stop the negative  cashflow effect generated
by the Irvine  Studio was to close the Studio.  Following  lengthy  negotiations
with the  Studio's  landlord,  the  landlord  agreed  to allow  the  Company  to
terminate its lease at the Irvine  Entertainment  Center and the Company  closed
the Irvine Studio on April 22, 1998.  The costs  associated  with the closure of
the Studio totaled  $164,745.  This included  approximately a $135,000  non-cash
loss on disposal of leasehold improvements and write off of equipment identified
as only being of use for spare parts for the CityWalk  Studio and  approximately
$14,000 in  operating  losses  for the period  from April 1, 1998 to the date of
closure.

Cost of revenues  decreased to $218,238  overall during the fiscal quarter ended
June 30, 1998,  compared to $405,428 for the same period last year.  $185,421 of
the $187,190 decrease is due to the closure of the Irvine Studio.

Cost of revenues for the CityWalk Studio remained  constant for the two periods,
decreasing  by  $1,769,  or 1% in the  fiscal  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998 to
$218,238 as compared to $220,007 in the same period last year. Cost of revenues,
as a percentage of sales,  remained  constant between the two quarters at 89% of
sales.  Compensation  and related  benefits for the CityWalk  Studio were $5,692
higher  than in the fiscal  quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  an  increase  of 7%.
Depreciation  for the CityWalk  Studio was lower than the fiscal  quarter  ended
June 30, 1997, by $5,692 as a consequence  of many of the Studio's  assets being
fully  depreciated by June 1998. Rent for the CityWalk Studio was lower than the
fiscal  quarter  ended June 30, 1997 by $4,243.  Rent of $35,158 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997  included  approximately  $780 per month for  storage  space
rented at Universal CityWalk and parking permits. There were no such expenses in
the quarter to June 30, 1998.  Other cost of revenues  for the  CityWalk  Studio
increased by $2,474 or 4%. The CityWalk Studio earned

                                      8

gross income of $27,680  during the fiscal  quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared
to gross  income of $27,109 for the same period last year,  an increase of $571,
or 2%.

Overall, the Company generated gross income of $27,680 during the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 1998 compared to a gross loss of $72,279 for the same period last
year.  The increase in gross income of $99,959  comprises the  additional  gross
income of $571  generated  by the  CityWalk  Studio and the fact that the Irvine
Studio was closed and did not incur a gross loss  similar to the  $99,388  gross
loss incurred for the three months to June 30, 1997.

General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by  $44,984 to $84,120 in the
quarter  ended June 30,  1998 from  $129,104  in the same  period  last year,  a
decrease of 35%.  Compensation  and  related  benefits  decreased  by $15,943 to
$19,729 as compared to $35,672 for the same period last year, a decrease of 45%.
This decrease was predominantly the result of the cessation of employment of the
Operations  Manager in the quarter ended  December 31, 1997.  Professional  fees
increased in the fiscal  quarter  ended June 30, 1998 to $34,703 from $32,153 in
the same period last year, an increase of $2,550 or 8%.  Included in the $34,703
is  approximately  $11,000 of costs  associated  with  engaging a consultant  to
assist with the training  and  development  of the  CityWalk  Studio staff in an
effort to increase the level of revenues  generated by the CityWalk Studio.  The
prior year figure of $32,153 includes  approximately  $7,700 of costs associated
with engaging a consultant in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 to work with staff
at the  Irvine  Studio in an effort to expand  the  Studio's  customer  base and
increase revenues.  General and  administrative  expenses for the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 1998 include $2,200 of management fees. A capital contribution of
$2,200 has been recorded to reflect the reasonable cost of doing  business,  for
services  performed by PCG personnel.  There is no corresponding  expense in the
quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Rent increased by $6,969 to $15,669 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 from $8,700 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Included in
the rent  expense of  $15,669 is $5,625  relating  to the  Irvine  Studio.  This
represents  the  forfeiture  of the  security  deposit  held by the  landlord in
relation to the Irvine  premises.  Also included in the category of rent expense
is the cost of the storage facility that the Company rents to temporarily  store
certain items of equipment,  furniture and materials. During the quarter to June
30, 1998, the Company was advised that the storage facility was to close and the
Company was required to find an  alternative  facility.  Costs of  approximately
$1,300 were  incurred to move all of the  equipment,  furniture and materials to
another storage facility, located at 8540 Cedros Ave, Panorama City, California.
During the quarter to June 30, 1998 the Company  derived a profit on disposal of
plant and equipment of $20,000. The Company sold to subsidiaries of PCG, certain
items of equipment,  deemed by management to be surplus following the closure of
the Irvine Studio,  for $20,000.  This equipment  originally cost $68,927 and at
the time of sale had nil book value and an  estimated  market  value of $20,000.
Depreciation  and  amortization  costs were lower by $5,394 as many of the fixed
assets were fully  depreciated  by June 1998.  Other general and  administrative
expenses  decreased by $15,366 to $14,919 for the fiscal  quarter ended June 30,
1998, compared to $30,285 for the same period last year.

The loss from  operations  of the Company for the three month  period ended June
30, 1998 was $56,440,  compared with a loss from  operations for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997, of $201,383,  a decrease in the loss from operations
of $144,943.

Interest  charges totaling $21,364 were incurred on the loan from PCG and on the
Compensation payable to former officers of the Company,  compared with $8,842 of
charges during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1997.

The net loss of the  Company  for the fiscal  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998 was
$77,777 as compared to a net loss of $210,136,  incurred in the same period last
year, a decrease in the net loss of $132,359.

As of June 30,  1998,  the  Company  has net  operating  loss carry  forwards of
approximately $10.8 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 acquisition by PCG in June 1995 of in excess
of 50% of the Common  Stock of the  Company.  The losses  will  expire in March,
2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 30,  1998,  the  Company  had a working  capital  deficit of $934,355 as
compared  to a working  capital  deficit  on March  31,  1998 of  $918,299.  The
increase of $16,056 is attributable to the net loss from operations  incurred in
the three month period ended June 30, 1998.

Net cash used in  operating  activities  was $50,607 for the three  months ended
June 30, 1998, compared to $102,014 for the same period last year. This decrease
is primarily  attributable  to the reduction in the loss from operations for the
three months ended June 30, 1998  compared  with the three months ended June 30,
1997.

The Company currently has no specific commitments for capital expenditure.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability
to  generate  net cash from  operations  or to raise funds  through  debt and/or
equity  financing.  The  Company's  recurring  operating  losses and net working
capital  deficiency  raises  substantial  doubt  about the  entity's  ability to
continue as a going concern.  Management's  plans include improving the revenues
from the CityWalk Studio and continuing the reduction of expenses.  There can be
no assurance that  management  will be successful in these endeavors and if not,
the  Company  will be  dependent  upon the  willingness  and the  ability of the
majority stockholder,  PCG, to continue to provide additional financing. PCG has
advised the Company that it is not committed to continue to fund the Company and
may at any time  decide that it will not  advance  any  additional  funds to the
Company. In such event, it is likely that the Company will be unable to meet its
current  obligations,  which  may  result  in  the  commencement  of  insolvency
proceedings   with  respect  to  the  Company.   The  Board  of  Directors  has,
accordingly,  commenced exploration of alternative courses of action, to address
this contingency.

In the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  $35,000 of funds were loaned to the
Company by PCG for working  capital  requirements.  No further amounts have been
loaned to the Company in the period July 1, 1998 to August 10, 1998.

Despite its working  capital  deficiency,  the Company has maintained  generally
good relations with its vendors.
