                                AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Shareholders of Hill And Cassidy Retail Corp.:

We have  audited  the  balance  sheet of Hill And  Cassidy  Retail  Corp.  as at
November 30, 1996 and the statements of income, retained earnings and changes in
financial position for the year then ended.  These financial  statements are the
responsibility of the company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain  reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit also includes  assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our  opinion,  these  financial  statements  present  fairly in all  material
respects,  the financial position of the company as at November 30, 1996 and the
results of its operations and the changes in its financial position for the year
then ended in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  As
required  by the  Company  Act for  British  Columbia,  we report  that,  in our
opinion,  these  principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of
the preceding year.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

                                November 30, 1996
                                -----------------


General
- -------

The company was  incorporated  under the laws of British  Columbia and commenced
operations on October 28, 1974.  The company's  principal  business  activity is
video rentals and sales.

Accounting Policies
- -------------------

      (a)      Inventories
               -----------

               Inventories  are  valued at the lower of cost and net  realizable
               value.

      (b)      Rental Inventory
               ----------------

               Rental  movies and games are  amortized on a straight  line basis
               over six months,  net of residual  value.  The residual value for
               rental  movies is $8 per unit and the  residual  value for rental
               games is $15 per unit.  The  residual  value is  classified  as a
               long-term asset.

      (c)      Long-Term Investments
               ---------------------

               Investments  in shares  are  recorded  at cost,  except  when the
               decline  in the  value of the  investments  is deemed to be other
               than a  temporary  decline.  In this  case  the  investments  are
               accounted for at market value.

               Investments  in companies  subject to  significant  influence are
               accounted for using the equity method.

      (d)      Capital  Assets, Depreciation and Amortization
               ----------------------------------------------

               Capital  assets are  recorded  at cost and are  depreciated  over
               their estimated  useful lives.  Depreciation is calculated on the
               straight-line basis at the following annual rates:

                       Furniture, fixtures and equipment -         20%
                       Leasehold improvements -                    20%
                       Computer hardware and software -            33%

               In the year of  acquisition,  depreciation  is  calculated at one
               half the above rates.

      (e)      Goodwill
               --------

               Goodwill is amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years.

      (f)      Income Taxes
               ------------

               Income  tax  expense   includes  full  provision  for  all  taxes
               currently  payable as well as for those which have been  deferred
               to  future  years  as a  result  of  timing  differences  in  the
               measurement of income for accounting and income tax purposes. The
               balance sheet  provision for deferred  income taxes  reflects the
               cumulative effect of all such deferments.

                     PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                          YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AND
                       NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997

                                  INTRODUCTION

In April 1997,  the Company  acquired  certain assets of Hill and Cassidy Retail
Corp. d.b.a.  Superior Video, a twenty-seven  store video retail chain in Canada
for approximately  $9,000,000 in cash and the issuance of 50,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock.  The purchase  method of accounting has been used to account for
the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma  financial  statements  reflect the  following:  (i) the
combination of the financial statements of the acquisitions;  (ii) an adjustment
to allocate the purchase price based upon the estimated fair value of the assets
acquired and the obligations  assumed;  (iii) a provision for income taxes as if
the combined  operations  had been taxed as a C corporation  for all the periods
presented (statement of income only).

The  unaudited  combined  pro forma  balance  sheet shows the effect of Hill and
Cassidy Retail Corp.  acquisition as of January 31, 1997 and were prepared as if
the transaction had occurred as of such period end.

The unaudited pro forma  combined  statements of income for the year ended April
30,  1996 and the nine  months  ended  January  31,  1997 give effect to (i) the
acquisition of Hill and Cassidy Retail Corp. and (ii) video stores acquired from
unrelated sellers during the year ended April 30, 1996 and the nine months ended
January 31, 1997 (see  Registrant's  Registration No. 333-7929 on Form S-3 dated
September 27, 1996 and Form 8-K/A dated March 6, 1997), treated as purchases for
accounting  purposes and were prepared as if the transactions had occurred as of
the beginning of the respective periods.

The historical  statements of income for acquisitions are presented for the year
ended April 30, 1996 and the nine months ended January 31, 1997.

In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary to present
fairly such pro forma financial statements have been made based on the terms and
structure of the transaction. The Company anticipates,  however, that changes in
the  composition  of the  assets  acquired  as of January  31,  1997 will not be
materially different as of the date of the transaction.  Therefore,  the Company
believes any related change in adjustments will not be material to the pro forma
financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma financial  statements are not necessarily  indicative of
the actual results had the acquisitions  occurred at the beginning of the fiscal
year ended April 30, 1996 and at the  beginning of the nine months ended January
31, 1997 nor do they purport to indicate the results of future operations of the
Company.

The unaudited pro forma financial  statements  should be read in connection with
the audited historical  financial  statements and notes thereto of Video Update,
Inc.  and Hill and Cassidy  Retail  Corp.  for the year ended April 30, 1996 and
November 30, 1996, respectively.
