DIRECTORS' REPORT

The directors present their annual report and the audited financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 1998.

ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the group is the research, design, manufacture and
sale of electronic projectors.

REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Digital Projection International produces and sells high brightness, large
screen electronic projectors. These projectors utilise the Digital Micromirror
Device produced by Texas Instruments, Dallas, USA. The company's headquarters
are in Middleton, Manchester where products are developed and manufactured.
Digital Projection Incorporated based in Atlanta, Georgia provides full sales
and marketing, product service and support to the North American market.

The results for the second year following the management buyout from the Rank
Group shows turnover more than double the previous year. The results further
reflect the investment and expenses incurred in establishing and developing the
company's worldwide operations.

During the year the company expended its product range through the launch of an
XGA resolution range of projectors. Digital Projection's products continue to be
widely acclaimed with a number of awards being received including two
prestigious "Emmy" awards. The company will continue to expand and develop its
products capitalising on its reputation for product innovation and performance.

DIVIDENDS AND TRANSFERS TO RESERVES

Details of the result for the year can be found on page 9. A dividend of
(pound)872,700 (1998 - (pound)582,000) has accrued to the preference
shareholders at 31 December 1998 and this has been charged in these accounts.
The Directors do not recommend a final dividend on the `A' ordinary or ordinary
shares.

FIXED ASSETS

Details of movements in fixed assets are set out on page 18.

SHARE CAPITAL

During the year the company issued 110,000 "A" ordinary shares to investors for
a total consideration of (pound)82,500. In addition 2,417,500 "B" preference
shares were issued for a consideration of (pound)2,417,500.

YEAR 2000

Digital Projection's business systems and products are planned to be Year 2000
compliant. To this end, the board reviews the status on compliance at each board
meeting.

The following information is provided to indicate the importance Digital
Projection place on these potential issues but it is provided without any
warranty express or implied as to the effectiveness of our own or our business
partners' actions to mitigate Year 2000 issues.

All our business computer systems have been tested and either have been or are
in the process of being upgraded to products stated to be Year 2000 compliant.
Certain non-compliant hardware is in the process of being replaced. None of our
products embody real time clocks and therefore there is no impact from the date
issues.

We are in continuing dialogue with all our suppliers on their status for
compliance. All key sub-systems suppliers are at an advanced stage of their
compliance programmes.

We have taken all reasonable and prudent steps to ensure our systems and our
suppliers systems are compliant and continue to act on new information as it
becomes available. The costs involved in this exercise are not considered to be
significant.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The group has devoted substantial resources to research and development during
the period. This, together with contracts with outside parties, will enable the
company to maintain its leading position in technology and design.

SUPPLIER CREDIT

Through its subsidiaries the company's policy is to follow the CBI Code of
Practice regarding the prompt payment of suppliers. In particular, for all trade
creditors it is the company's policy to:
o Agree the terms of payment at the start of business with the supplier.
o Ensure suppliers are aware of the terms of trade.
o Pay in accordance with its contractual and other legal obligations.
As the company itself does not trade the number of creditors days is nil.

The current directors of the Company together with their beneficial
interest in the share capital of the Company are set out below:

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES


Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each
financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the
group and company as at the end of the financial year and of the profit or loss
of the group for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the
directors are required to:

|X| select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

|X| make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

|X| state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed;

|X| prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
    is inappropriate to presume that the group and company will continue in
    business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
group and company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Companies Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the
assets of the group and company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

    AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS

    We have audited the financial statements on pages 9 to 26 which have been
    prepared under the accounting policies set out on pages 14 and 15.

    RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

    As described on page 7 the company's directors are responsible for the
    preparation of financial statements. It is our responsibility to form an
    independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report
    our opinion to you.

    BASIS OF OPINION

    We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
    Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
    evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial
    statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and
    judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial
    statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the
    company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

    We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
    explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
    sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial
    statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or
    other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the
    overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial
    statements.

    OPINION

    In our opinion the financial statements:

    -        give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and
             company as at 31 December 1998 and of the loss of the group for the
             year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with
             the Companies Act 1985;

    -        present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
             financial position of the Group as at 31 December 1998 and 31
             December 1997 and the results of their operations, total recognised
             gains and their cash flows for the years ended 31 December 1997 and
             31 December 1998 in conformity with accounting principles generally
             accepted in the United Kingdom. The principles differ in certain
             respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the
             United States. The effect of the differences in determination of
             net income, shareholders' equity and cash flows is shown in note 23
             to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1998


1.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable
       accounting standards. The particular accounting policies adopted are
       described below.

       ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

       The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
       convention.

       CONSOLIDATION AND RESULTS

       For all subsidiary undertakings the accounts include the results of those
       companies controlled throughout the period or to the date of disposal or
       from the date of acquisition as appropriate.

       ACQUISITIONS

       In accordance with FRS6 and 7, on the acquisition of a business, fair
       values are attributed to the assets and liabilities of the acquired
       business. Any excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the
       assets acquired is purchased goodwill. Prior to the issue of FRS10
       goodwill was permitted to be written off directly to reserves. As a
       matter of accounting policy this is the treatment adopted by the company
       on its acquisitions prior to 1 January 1998.

       TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

       Depreciation is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the
       estimated useful lives of the assets. The rates of depreciation are as
       follows:

       Short-term leasehold improvements     Over the term of the lease
       Plant and machinery                   15% per annum
       Motor vehicles                        25% per annum
       Experimental and test equipment       20% per annum
       Fixtures, fittings, tools and         Between 7.5% and 33.3% per annum
         computer equipment

       INVESTMENTS

       Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for
       any permanent diminution in value. Those held as current assets are
       stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

       STOCKS

       Stocks and work-in-progress are stated at the lower of cost and net
       realisable value. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling
       price less all further costs to completion and all relevant marketing,
       selling and distribution costs.

       DEFERRED TAXATION

       Deferred taxation is provided on timing differences, arising from the
       different treatment of items for accounts and taxation purposes, which
       are expected to reverse in the future, calculated at rates at which it is
       estimated that tax will arise.

       LEASES

       Operating lease rentals are charged to income in equal annual amounts
       over the lease term.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1998



1.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

       RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

       Expenditure is charged to the profit and loss account in the year it is
       incurred.

       PENSION COSTS

       The expected cost of providing pensions, as calculated periodically by
       professionally qualified actuaries, is charged to the profit and loss
       account so as to spread the cost over the service lives of employees in
       the scheme in such a way that the pension cost is a substantially level
       percentage of current and expected future pensionable payroll.

       FOREIGN CURRENCIES

       Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling
       at the rates of exchange ruling at the year end or related forward
       contract rates. Trading results are translated at the average exchange
       rates for the year.

       Profits and losses arising in the normal course of trading and realised
       exchange differences arising on the conversion or repayment of foreign
       currency borrowings are dealt with in the profit and loss account.
       Unrealised exchange differences arising on the translation of overseas
       net assets are taken direct to reserves.

2.     TURNOVER AND OPERATING LOSS

       Turnover represents amounts derived from the provision of goods and
       services which fall within the Group's ordinary activities after
       deduction of trade discounts and value added tax. The turnover and
       pre-tax profit, is attributable to one activity. A geographical analysis
       of the turnover and profit has not been provided due to commercial
       sensitivity.

       The operating loss is arrived at as follows:

21.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       The company has taken advantage of the exemption contained in FRS8
       "Related Party Disclosure", in not disclosing transactions with its
       wholly owned subsidiaries.

       There were no other related party transactions.

22.    PENSIONS

       The Group operates a funded defined benefit scheme. The assets of the
       scheme are held in a separate trustee administered fund.

       The scheme is subject to a triennial valuation by independent actuaries,
       the last valuation having been performed at 5 April 1999 using the
       projected unit method. The following actuarial assumptions were applied:

<TABLE>
<S>                                   <C>
       Investment returns             5.71%

       Salary growth                  5.34%

       Pension increases              2.84%
</TABLE>

       At 5 April 1999 the market value of the assets of UK scheme was
       (pound)957,018 and was sufficient to cover 87% of the benefits which had
       accrued to members. The employers contributions rate over the average
       remaining service lives of the members takes account of the deficit.

       The total pension cost in the year was (pound)143,643.

23.    SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UK AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
       PRINCIPLES

       The group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
       with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom (UK
       GAAP), which differs in certain respects from generally accepted
       accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP). Differences which
       have a significant effect on the consolidated net income and
       shareholders' equity of the group are set out below. While this is not a
       comprehensive summary of all differences between UK and US GAAP, other
       differences would not have a significant effect on the consolidated net
       income or shareholders' equity of the group.

(A)      PENSIONS

         Under UK and US GAAP, pension costs are determined on a
         systematic basis over the length of service of employees. US
         GAAP is more prescriptive in the application of the actuarial
         method, actuarial assumptions to be applied in the calculation
         of pension costs and the allocation of costs to accounting
         periods.

        PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)

        (B)       GOODWILL

                  Under UK GAAP, goodwill arising on acquisitions after 1
                  January 1998 will be treated in accordance with Financial
                  Reporting Standard 10 and capitalised and amortised as it
                  would be in accordance with US GAAP. Prior to that date
                  goodwill was and remains written off against retained earnings
                  in the consolidated balance sheet in the year of acquisition.
                  Under US GAAP, goodwill is capitalised on the balance sheet
                  and amortised by charges against income over its estimated
                  useful life, not to exceed 40 years. For US GAAP, goodwill has
                  been amortised over 20 years.

       (C)        SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

                  Under UK GAAP costs incurred in the development of computer
                  software are written off as incurred. Under US GAAP, costs
                  incurred internally in creating a computer software product to
                  be sold, leased or otherwise are expensed as incurred until
                  technological feasibility is established. After that, all
                  software production costs are capitalised. Amortisation of
                  these costs is based on current and future revenue.
                  Capitalisation ceases when the product is available for
                  general release to customers.

23.     SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UK AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
        PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)


        (F)       CLASSIFICATION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UK AND US GAAP

                  Dividends on preferred shares

                  Under UK GAAP,  dividends  on preferred  shares of
                  (pound)1.45m are  included as an `other  reserve' as
                  the group does not have the ability to pay the dividend in
                  the next  accounting  period.  Under US GAAP these dividends
                  would be included in accruals.

                  Preferred shares

                  Under UK GAAP preference shares are included as part of total
                  shareholders' funds. Under US GAAP these shares are disclosed
                  between liabilities and shareholders' equity.

       (G)        CASH FLOWS

                  Under UK GAAP the group complies with Financial Reporting
                  Standard No.1 (FRS1), the objective and principles of which
                  are similar to those set out in Statement of Financial
                  Accounting Standard No.95 (SFAS95). The principal difference
                  between the two standards is in respect of classification.

                  Set out below, for illustrative purposes, is a summary
                  consolidated statement of cash flows under US GAAP.
