ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     The initial Schedule 13D was filed as a result of the initial public 
offering of the Issuer in 1994.  The Mong Family Trust owned its interest in 
VCNV and VCNV owned its interest in the Issuer prior to the initial public 
offering.  No funds were required for these transactions. Since the filing of 
the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not purchased or sold any shares 
of Common Stock.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

     VCNV acquired its shares of Common Stock in connection with the sale of 
a VCNV subsidiary to the Issuer.  Such subsidiary was acquired by the Issuer 
as of January 17, 1994 for consideration of  $6,000,000, consisting of a 
$3,300,000 promissory note of the Issuer (bearing interest at the rate of 6% 
per annum, with principal and interest originally due January 17, 1995 
(subsequently extended to January 17, 1997) and 957,446 shares of Common 
Stock.

<PAGE>

     On April 3, 1997, the Issuer and its subsidiary, Cinergi Productions N.V.
Inc. entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Walt Disney Pictures and
Television, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, to sell to Disney
substantially all of the films in the Issuer's motion picture library and
certain other assets.  In exchange for the assets being sold to Disney, Disney
has agreed to relinquish its equity interest in the Issuer (555,556 shares of
Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $9.00 per share), cancel its outstanding loans to the Issuer
(approximately $38,400,000 as of March 31, 1997), and assume with respect to the
films and rights therein  being sold to Disney, all residual and participation
obligations, as well as all scheduled obligations relating to the Issuer's
existing exploitation agreements.  In addition, upon consummation of the sale to
Disney, the Issuer's twenty-five film domestic distribution arrangement with an
affiliate of Disney, under which nine films have been delivered, will be
terminated.  Additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the
sale of the film library and the provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement
(which is filed herewith as Exhibit C) is contained in the press release filed
herewith as Exhibit D, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

     On April 3, 1997, the Issuer also announced that it does not presently
intend to commence production on any additional motion pictures (although the
agreement with Disney does not preclude the Issuer, pending consummation of the
sale, from commencing production on films that would not be distributed by
Disney) and that it is in the process of considering alternatives assuming
consummation of the sale of substantially all of the films in its film library
to Disney.  The Issuer announced that such alternatives include disposing of the
assets which are not being sold to Disney, in one or a series of transactions.
The Issuer also announced that it currently anticipates that any decision made
regarding its alternatives assuming consummation of the film library sale to
Disney, will effectively result, after provision for the Issuer's remaining
liabilities, in a cash payment to the Issuer's stockholders in exchange for
their equity interests in the Issuer, although the Issuer noted no assurance can
be given that the film library sale to Disney or any additional transactions
will be consummated or that a cash payment of any type will be made to the
Issuer's stockholders (and that no assurance can be given as to the amount of
any cash payments, if made).  Additional information regarding such
announcement, and the Issuer's consideration of its alternatives, as well as
additional information regarding other potential transactions, in contained in
the press release filed herewith as Exhibit E, which is incorporated herein by
this reference.

     According an amended and restated Schedule 13D filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission by Andrew G. Vajna, the Issuer's Chairman of the 
Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Vajna may seek to bid for 
(and is engaged in preliminary discussions regarding) certain of the assets 
that would remain assuming consummation of the sale of the film library to 
Disney including, without limitation, certain development projects and the 
"Cinergi" name.  According to such Schedule 13D, no agreements have been 
entered into with respect thereto and any such agreement would be subject to 
approval of the Issuer's independent Board members, as well as all other 
applicable approvals.  Any such acquisition of assets by Mr.

<PAGE>

Vajna could take place directly as a purchase of assets from the Issuer or
indirectly after other assets have been sold by the Issuer to other parties.

     Consummation of the sale of the film library to Disney would result in the
sale of a material amount of assets of the Issuer.  Depending on the
alternatives chosen by the Issuer, additional transactions could result in (i)
sales of additional assets of the Issuer, (ii) dispositions of securities of the
Issuer by the current holders and the acquisition of such securities by the
Issuer, (iii) an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger or
liquidation, (iv) a change in the present board of directors and management of
the Issuer and in its capitalization, and/or (v) the Common Stock being delisted
from the NASDAQ National Market System and becoming eligible for termination of
registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     The Statement on Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by VCNV and Trust.

     (a) VCNV beneficially owns 957,446 shares of Common Stock (7.1% of the

received certain "piggyback" registration rights, which, with certain
exceptions, require the Issuer to use its best efforts to include in any of the
Issuer's registration statements and shares requested by VCNV to be so included.
The Issuer will pay all registration expenses incurred by it, and VCNV will pay
all expenses directly incurred on its behalf in connection with any such
registration.  The Issuer has also
