CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 1999 AND JUNE 30, 1998
(unaudited)

[1] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements are presented on
an accrual basis.  Revenues are recognized when merchandise is sold and expenses
are recognized when incurred. Where applicable, the figures for the years ended
March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998 have been reclassified in order to facilitate
comparison with the figures for the current year.

Plant and Equipment and Depreciation - Plant and equipment consists primarily of
generators, computers,  photography equipment and leasehold improvements,  and
are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful asset
lives using the straight-line  method over 5 years for all  equipment and
furniture.  Leasehold improvements  are  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis
over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease.
Maintenance, repairs and minor purchases are expensed as incurred.

Royalties - Royalties  are  calculated  as a percentage of sales as specified in
each License  Agreement and are expensed  over the life of the agreement  except
where this amount is less than the minimum guarantee  provided by the agreement.
In the latter  situation,  royalty  expense is equal to the  minimum  guarantee,
amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over the period of the  guarantee.  Where
royalties have been paid in advance, such amounts are disclosed on the Company's
balance sheet as prepaid royalties, net of amounts expensed.

Stock  Options - The  difference  between the fair market value and the exercise
price, if below fair market value, of a stock option granted under the Company's
Employee  Stock  Option  Plan is  charged  to expense in the period in which the
option  is  granted.  All  transactions  in  which  goods  or  services  are the
consideration  received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for
based on the fair value of the  consideration  received or the fair market value
of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable

Inventories  -  Inventories  consisting  principally  of frames,  bags,  mattes,
chemicals, paper products and other supplies are priced at cost determined using
the FIFO method.

Cash and Cash  Equivalents  - The  Company  classifies  all highly  liquid  debt
instruments,  readily convertible to cash and purchased with a maturity of three
months or less at date of purchase, as cash equivalents. The Company had no cash
equivalents at March 31, 1998.

Risk  Concentrations  - Financial  instruments,  which  potentially  subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist  principally of cash. At March
31, 1998, the Company had no deposits in financial  institutions  which exceeded
the $100,000  federally insured limit. The excess of the  institution's  deposit
liability to the Company over the federally insured limit was therefore zero.

A significant part of the Company's ability to generate revenues is dependent on
the continuation of the License Agreements with the various Licensors.  Three of
the  License  Agreements  provide  a  portfolio  of images  that each  result in
approximately 15% of the revenues of the Company.  While the Company has License
Agreements  relating to the use of the images there can be no assurance that the
License  Agreements will be renewed or renewed on commercially  acceptable terms
after their current  expiry dates.  In such event,  unless  alternative  License
Agreements  can be  obtained,  the loss of the License  Agreements  would have a
material adverse affect on the Company (see note 3[A]).

Use of Estimates - The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts. Accordingly, actual
amounts could differ from those estimates.

Advertising   -  Advertising   costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.   Advertising
expenditure  for the years  ended  March 31,  1998,  1997  $21,069, $28,552
respectively.

Loss per share - The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB") has issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS")  No. 128,  "Earnings  Per
Share" which is effective for  financial  statements  issued for periods  ending
after December 15, 1997.  Accordingly,  earnings per share data in the financial
statements  for the year ended March 31, 1998 has been  calculated in accordance
with SFAS No. 128. Prior periods earnings per share data have been  recalculated
as necessary to conform prior years data to SFAS No. 128.

SFAS No. 128 supersedes  Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings
per Share" and replaces its primary earnings per share with a new basic earnings
per share representing the amount of earnings for the period available to each
share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.  SFAS No. 128
also requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in the
face of the statement of operations  for all companies with complex capital
structures.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the amount of earnings for the
period  available to each share of common stock  outstanding  during the
reporting  period,  while giving effect to all dilutive  potential common shares
that were outstanding during the period, such as common shares that could result
from the potential exercise or conversion of securities into common stock. The
computation  of diluted  earnings  per share  does not  assume  conversion,
exercise or contingent  issuance of securities  that would have an  antidilutive
effect on earnings  per share (i.e.  increasing  earnings  per share or reducing
loss per share). The dilutive  effect of  outstanding  options and warrants and
their   equivalents  are  reflected  in  dilutive  earnings  per  share  by  the
application  of the treasury  stock method which  recognizes the use of proceeds
that could be  obtained  upon  exercise of options  and  warrants  in  computing
diluted  earnings  per share.  It  assumes  that any  proceeds  would be used to
purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and
warrants will have a dilutive  effect only when the average  market price of the
common  stock  during the period  exceeds the  exercise  price of the options or
warrants.  Potential common shares of 125,000 are not currently dilutive, but
may be in the future.

Deferred  Taxes - There  are no  material  differences  between  the  accounting
methods used for financial and tax purposes. The Company has sustained losses in
recent years and has a large net operating loss carryforward.  No deferred taxes
are reflected in these financial statements.

[5] Related Party Transactions

Mr Robert Shelton,  Vice President  Development  and Mrs Leah  Peterson-Shelton,
Vice President Operations, ceased employment with the Company from and effective
September 1, 1996.  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 on September 1, 1996, and were repaid over
the period to April 17, 1998.  This  liability is presented on the balance sheet
as  "Compensation  payable - Related  Party".  The  liability  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
Photo Corporation Group Pty Limited ("PCG"), the majority stockholder.  Interest
expense is incurred at the prime rate of  interest  (approximately  8.5%) and in
the period to March 31, 1998 interest expense totaled $3,618.
As of March 31, 1998, interest of $67 was accrued and unpaid.

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. No  consulting  fees were incurred or paid
during the year ended March 31, 1998.

During  the  year to March  31,  1997,  PCG  charged  the  Company  $131,000  in
management fees pursuant to the Personnel  Consulting Agreement with the Company
dated  June 28,  1995.  Effective  December  1,  1996,  PCG agreed not to charge
management fees for services  provided by it or its related parties for a period
of two years.  The Company has  recorded a capital  contribution  of $31,200 for
management  fees for the year to March 31, 1998.  Management  believes that this
represents the reasonable cost of doing business,  for services  provided by PCG
personnel in the year to March 31, 1998.

At March 31, 1998 the $721,227 "Due to Related Party"  ($260,500 as of March 31,
1997) was  advanced by PCG.  This balance  consists of $715,500  advanced to the
Company  and  $5,727 of  expenses  paid by PCA on behalf of the  Company  (1997:
$7,343 "Due from  Related  Party"  representing  monies  advanced by the Company
during  fiscal 1997 on behalf of PCA).  The funds  advanced to the Company  have
been used  predominantly to fund the day to day operation 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
incurred at a rate of 10% per annum on the

funds advanced to the Company and for the year ended March 31, 1998 was $48,581.
As of March 31, 1998, interest of $56,452 was accrued.

The weighted average interest rate on short term borrowings as of March 31, 1998
was approximately 10.0%.


[6] Capital Stock Transactions

[A] 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.

[B] Stock Option Plan

Under the Company's Amended and Restated 1992 Stock Option Plan, incentive stock
options may be granted to purchase  shares of the Company's stock at a price not
less than the fair  market  value of the Common  Stock at the date of the grant.
Non-qualified  stock  options may be granted at a price not less than 85% of the
fair market value.  No option may be exercised  after ten years from the date of
the grant.  In  September  of 1997,  options for  175,000  shares were issued to
employees and consultants of the Company.

                                 =========

The exercise price for the options outstanding at March 31, 1998 is $0.06 with a
vesting period of three years and a contractual  life of ten years.  The company
estimates that approximately 100% of such options will eventually vest.

On September 15, 1997,  the Board of Directors  granted to four  individuals,  a
total of 175,000 stock options to purchase company stock at an exercise price of
$0.06 per share for past  services  performed.  The  options  are to vest over a
three year period,  50% the first year and 25% the remaining two years,  with an
expiration  date of September  15, 2007.  The company  applies APB Opinion 25 in
accounting for its fixed and performance based stock option  compensation plans.
Compensation  cost of $3,250,  $0 and $0 was charged to operations for the three
years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996  respectively.  Had compensation  cost
been  determined on the basis of fair value  pursuant to FASB Statement No. 123,
net income and earnings per share would have been recorded as follows:

The fair value of each option  grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes   option   pricing  model  with  the  following   weighted-average
assumptions  used for  grants  in 1998:  dividend  yields  of $0 for each  year,
expected  volatility  of  approximately  106% for each year,  risk free interest
rates of 5.83% and an expected  life of five years.  The  weighted-average  fair
value of options granted was $0.06 for the year ended March 31, 1998.

[7] Closure of Irvine Studio

In the third quarter of the Company's  fiscal year,  management  determined that
despite its  substantial  efforts to increase the revenues of the Irvine Studio,
it would be in the best  interests of the Company to contain the  negative  cash
flow incurred by the Company, by determining an exit plan for the Irvine Studio.
In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year,  the Company  finalized its exit plan.
Following  lengthy   negotiations  with  the  landlord  of  the  Irvine  Studio,
management  reached an  agreement  with the  landlord to close the  Studio.  The
closure  was  effected  without  the  payment of any  additional  amounts to the
landlord. The Studio closed on April 22, 1998. Costs associated with the closure
of the studio totaled $164,745 and included approximately $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; $3,000 in termination
payments  to staff;  $5,000 to remove  equipment  from the studio and vacate the
premises; $7,000 in property tax obligations; and estimated additional operating
costs  of  approximately   $14,000  through  to  the  date  of  closure.  It  is
management's  opinion that as of March 31, 1998, all costs  associated  with the
closure of the Irvine Studio have been accrued.

[8] Commitments

Lease  Agreements - The Company leases its CityWalk Studio premises under a five
year lease,  with an option to extend the lease for a period of seven years. The
initial  lease term  expired on May 31, 1998 and the Company has  exercised  its
option to renew the lease for a further seven years.  The lease  provides for an
annual  rental  payment  of  $123,250  and the  payment  of 10% of annual  store
revenues in excess of $881,177.  In addition,  pursuant to the lease  agreement,
the Company pays annual  allocated  property  taxes for the  CityWalk  Studio of
approximately $600. Both the base rental amount and the percentage rental cut-in
point are adjusted  annually for changes in the consumer price index.  The lease
may be  terminated  by the lessor if the Company does not meet a minimum  annual
sales requirement of $587,000.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable  operating leases as of March
31, 1999 are shown in the table below.

In the year to March 31, 1998 the Company  paid  $101,098 in rent for the Irvine
Studio.  Following closure of the Irvine Studio on April 22, 1998, the lease was
terminated.  There is no further  obligation  on the Company with respect to the
lease.

The Company has a month to month  commitment  of $2,450 per month for  corporate
office  space and a month to month  commitment  of $650 per  month  for  storage
facilities.

Total rental  charged to  operations  for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998,

                                ========     ========      ========

The  additional  rent is a result of sales being in excess of the $881,177 sales
threshold.

Consulting   Agreement  -  the  Company  has  a  consulting  agreement  with  an
unaffiliated  entity for the maintenance of the image technology at the CityWalk
Studio.  Effective  October 1, 1997 the  agreement  provides  for the payment of
$50,000 per annum of consulting fees and a discretionary performance bonus of up
to 10% of the fees paid.  The agreement may be terminated by either party with a
minimum of one  month's  notice.  For the year ended  March 31, 1998 the Company
expensed $49,000 in payments to this unaffiliated entity.

[9] Net Loss Per Share

Net  loss  per  share  was  calculated  based  on the  weighted  average  shares
outstanding  during the year.  Potential common shares have not been included as
their inclusion would be antidilutive.

[10] Trademark Registrations and Patent Applications

The  Company  has  registered  the  marks  Out-Takes(R),  So You  Want  to be in
Pictures(R) ,  Photomation(R)  and Create the Moment(R) with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office and has registered the  Out-Takes(R)  service mark in Japan, in
both Japanese and English.

[11] Income Taxes

As of March 31,  1998,  the Company has a net  operating  loss carry  forward of
approximately  $10,700,000.  The ability to offset  $8,275,000  of these  losses
against future  taxable income has been  restricted as a result of the change in
control  which  occurred  on June 28, 1995 when a majority  shareholding  in the
Company was acquired by PCG. As of March 31, 1998,  the Company has deferred tax
assets of  approximately  $729,000  arising  from  these  operating  loss  carry
forwards  which will expire in March,  2011.  However,  due to uncertainty as to
whether the Company will  generate  income in the future  sufficient to fully or
partially  utilize these loss carry forwards,  an allowance of $729,000 has been
established  to offset  this  asset.  The  Company  recorded  an increase in its
valuation allowance of $66,000 over the allowance at March 31, 1997.
[12] Notes Payable

The Note  Payable  of  $48,000  is  unsecured  and 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  litigation,  however  management has
advised the note holder that no amount is due at the present time as the Company
has not  generated  positive  cash flow.  Counsel has advised the Company that
no
litigation has commenced and counsel is unable to assess a possible outcome.

[13] New Authoritative Pronouncements

The FASB has issued 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 annual  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.

[14] Going Concern

The Company  commenced  commercial  operations on May 24, 1993 and as of May 29,
1998, the Company has been  unsuccessful in generating net cash from operations.
The net cash used by the Company in operating activities in the year ended March
31, 1998 was $482,207.  The Company  incurred a net loss of  $1,082,306  for the
year ended March 31, 1998 and has a working capital deficit as of March 31, 1998
of $918,299.

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.  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,
continuing  the reduction of expenses  throughout  the Company and continuing in
its efforts to find  suitable  locations  in which to open  additional  studios.
There can be no assurance that  management will be successful in these endeavors
and if it is not,  the Company  will be  dependent  on the  willingness  and the
ability  of the major  stockholder,  PCG,  to  continue  to  provide  additional
financing and no assurance can be given that such  additional  financing will be
provided.


PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

THIS ANALYSIS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING COMMENTS WHICH ARE BASED ON CURRENT
INFORMATION. ACTUAL RESULTS IN THE FUTURE MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY.

The Company is engaged in the business of providing digital photography
portraiture.  The Company opened its first portrait studio on May 24, 1993 at
the MCA/Universal CityWalk project in Los Angeles, California.  The Company
opened a second studio on December 9, 1995 at the Entertainment Center at Irvine
Spectrum located in Irvine, California.  The Company closed the Irvine Studio on
April 22, 1998.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 1999 Compared to three months ended June 30, 1998

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $77,777,
compared with $89,032 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.  The primary
reasons for the increase in the net loss was lack of revenues from the
continuation  of the photo studio operations at a loss due to increased
competition and reduced  MCA/Universal CityWalk traffic.  The Company's lease
formerly provided that it was the only such photo studio permitted to operate at
CityWalk.  Since the renewal of the lease, that provision has been eliminated
and the landlord has allowed competing business to lease space at CityWalk.

The Company overall generated  $245,918 in revenues in the three months ended
June 30, 1998, compared to revenues  of  $45,328  in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1999.  Management  attributes  this  decline to the increase in competition
and lack of foot traffic at Universal CityWalk.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,378,788 as
compared  to a working  capital  deficit  on June 30, 1998 of $702,274.  The
increase  is primarily  attributable  to operating  losses  incurred. Funds have
been  provided by PCG during the year to enable  the  Company  to meet the costs
associated  with its day to day operations  and to fund the payments due to
former  officers of the Company.

Net cash used in  operating  activities  was  $40,990  for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to the utilization of $48,300 of cash for the same
period   last year.

The Company does not anticipate  that it will have any problems in meeting its
obligations  for  continuing  fixed  expenses,   materials  procurement  or
operating  labor.
