26% of the net loss reported by Image Dynamics for the five months ended
December 31, 1997 in its Statement of Operations for the six months ended
December 31, 1997. The value of the investment account has been reduced
accordingly.  Audited financial statements of Image Dynamics will be prepared as

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



GENERAL

  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and is qualified in its entirety by the
foregoing and by other more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere.

  As of August 1, 1997, the operations of the Company were transferred to Image
Dynamics and combined with the operations of Auto Photo Systems, Inc ("APS").
The president and chief financial officer of the Company assumed similar
positions with Image Dynamics.  Several key managers with APS, including
regional operation managers and marketing personnel took positions with Image
Dynamics.  Two APS executives and the Executive Vice President of the Company
resigned as of August 1, 1997.  Image Dynamics currently has approximately 100
fulltime employees.  The Company has closed its office in Houston and has
relocated approximately 10 employees to the former APS manufacturing facility
near Dallas which is now the corporate office and manufacturing facility for
Image Dynamics.  APS has closed its former corporate office in Tustin,
California.  Image Dynamics has regional support offices in California, Dallas,
Florida, Chicago and New York City.

  During the first five months of operations, the management focused on
consolidation of service routes and relocation of operations to Texas.  The full
benefit of cost reductions will not be achieved until March 1998.  Image
Dynamics' strategy is to reduce its site and route expenses by increasing the
density of operating equipment.  In this regard, 50 new Print Club photo sticker
machines were installed in late December 1997.  In addition, 50 color video foto
booths will be assembled and installed by April 1998.  This new equipment should
have a positive impact on the financial results of Image Dynamics.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  The statement of operations for the 1997 period includes revenue and cost of
services for the month of July 1997 only. For the months of August through
December 1997 all revenue, related operating expenses and interest expense on
long-term debt were recorded on the books of Image Dynamics.  As a result, a
comparison with the three month period and six month period ended December 31,
1996 for revenues, cost of booth services and selling general and administrative
expenses is not meaningful.

  For the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Company incurred a net loss
of $260,559.  The loss before minority interest in Image Dynamics of $44,909
includes approximately $40,000 of non-recurring expenses including severance
payments to terminated employees and rent on the closed Houston office of the
Company.  The loss was reduced by other income of approximately $80,000
resulting from a reduction in accruals for estimated sales tax and other
obligations attributable to operations prior to the formation of Image Dynamics.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

  During the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Company received cash
advances of approximately $100,000 to settle current obligations to creditors.
A large percentage of the remaining obligations of the Company are not currently
due or are disputed.  The Company believes that Image Dynamics will continue to
transfer funds to settle obligations when due.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

   On January 28, 1998, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders
which was adjourned until February 4, 1998. The matters acted on at the meeting
were:

   1  The election of three members of the Board of Directors, including Messrs.
      Lance P. Wimmer, John D. Higgins and Robert R. Salyard, to serve until the
      1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and in each case until their
      respective successors are elected and qualified. Each nominee for director
      received a vote of 3,654,540 shares for, 195,558 shares withheld and no
      shares abstaining; and

   2  The approval of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
      to effect a one-for-six reverse stock split of the Class A Common Stock.
      The proposal received a vote of 3,498,074 shares for, 326,964 shares
      against and 25,060 shares abstaining; as a result of such vote, the
      proposal failed to achieve the required vote of two-thirds of the
      6,443,215 shares outstanding and was not approved.
