            the bank's base rate (8.50% at April 30, 1997).

      b.    Revolving Loan

            Under the revolving loan facility combined with a $1,500,000 letter

NOTE D - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share,
      which is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual
      periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new standard
      is not permitted. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted
      earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings
      per share together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were
      computed. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a
      material impact on the disclosure of earnings per share in the Company's
      financial statements.

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

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in Item 1 - "Business - Forward-Looking Statements"
and elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1996.

Results of Operations - Three Month Period Ended April 30, 1997 compared to
Three Month Period Ended April 30, 1996.

Net sales for the three month period ended April 30, 1997 were $38.5 million, an
increase of $0.6 million or 1.5% as compared to the three month period ended
April 30, 1996.

Gross profit for the three month period ended April 30, 1997 increased $1.0
million to $7.7 million, or 20.0% of net sales from $6.7 million, or 17.6% of
net sales for the three month period ended April 30, 1996. This increase in
gross profit was primarily attributable to lower material costs, a reduction in
the direct labor force, maximizing plant efficiencies and increasing the amount
of higher margin non-entertainment business in the sales mix.

Operating expenses for the three month period ended April 30, 1997 were $6.3
million or 16.3% of net sales compared to $6.8 million or 17.9% of net sales for
the three month period ended April 30, 1996. The 1997 quarter was favorably
impacted by the capitalization of $0.4 million of work force expenditures
associated with the implementation phase of a computer software system developed
for internal use as well as an approximate $0.5 million reduction primarily in
administrative costs resulting from the Company's restructuring plan placed in
effect June 1996. These decreases were partially offset by an additional $0.1
million in bad debt reserve, $0.1 million in product development, $0.1 million
in advertising expense and $0.1 million in travel costs.

Income from operations of $1.4 million for the three month period ended April
30, 1997 compares to a loss from operations of $0.1 million for the three month
period ended April 30, 1996. This increase of $1.5 million was a result of
increased gross profits coupled with the decrease in operating expenses
described above.

Non-operating expenses decreased to $1.0 million for the three month period
ended April 30, 1997 from $1.3 million for the three month period ended April
30, 1996. This decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in interest
expense, attributable to a rate reduction and a reduction in the principal
amount of interest bearing debt.

For the three month period ended April 30, 1997, the Company realized income
before taxes of $0.4 million, compared to a loss before taxes of $1.4 million
for the three month period ended April 30, 1996.

A provision for income taxes of $0.3 million was recognized for the three month
period ended April 30, 1997, compared to a tax benefit of $0.4 million for the
three month period ended April 30, 1996.

After recognition of applicable income taxes, Allied Digital recognized net
income for the three months ended April 30, 1997, of $98 thousand compared to a
net loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 1996 for the
reasons noted above.

Results of Operations - Nine Month Period Ended April 30, 1997 compared to Nine
Month Period Ended April 30, 1996.

Net sales for the nine month period ended April 30, 1997 were $119.4 million, a
decrease of $4.3 million or 3.5% as compared to the nine month period ended
April 30, 1996. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a large promotional
video sale to one customer which was recognized during the quarter ended October
31, 1995.

Gross profit for the nine month period ended April 30, 1997 increased $1.6
million to $23.9 million or 20.0% of net sales, from $22.3 million or 18.0% of
net sales, for the nine month period ended April 30, 1996. This increase in
gross profit dollars and percentage, despite decreased sales, was primarily
attributable to lower material costs, a reduction in the direct labor force,
maximizing plant efficiencies and increasing the amount of higher margin
non-entertainment business in the sales mix.

Operating expenses for the nine month period ended April 30, 1997 were $18.5
million or 15.5% of net sales compared to $19.9 million or 16.1% of net sales
for the nine month period ended April 30, 1996. The $1.4 million decrease was
primarily attributable to the reductions in administrative costs resulting from
the Company's restructuring plan placed in effect June 1996 and $ 0.4 million of
capitalized work force expenditures associated with the implementation phase of
a computer software system developed for internal use.

Income from operations of $5.4 million for the nine month period ended April 30,
1997 compares to $2.4 million for the nine month period ended April 30, 1996.
This increase of $3.0 million resulted from an increase in gross profit and
certain reductions in the cost of operations described above.

Non-operating expenses decreased to $3.4 million for the nine month period ended
April 30, 1997 from $4.2 million for the nine month period ended April 30, 1996.
This decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in interest expense,
attributable to a rate reduction and a reduction in the principal amount of
interest bearing debt.

For the nine month period ended April 30, 1997, Allied Digital realized income
before income taxes of $2.0 million compared to a loss before income taxes of
$1.8 million for the nine month period ended April 30, 1996 for the reasons
noted above.

A provision for income taxes of $1.4 million was recognized for the nine months
ended April 30, 1997, compared to a tax benefit of $0.2 million for the nine
months ended April 30, 1996. The Company's effective tax rate of 68.5% for the
nine month period ended April 30, 1997 is attributable to the non-deductibility
for tax purposes of a significant portion of the amortization of excess of costs
over fair value of net assets acquired.

After recognition of applicable income taxes, Allied Digital recognized net
income for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 of $0.6 million, compared to a
net loss of $1.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      In conjunction with Allied Digital's restructuring plan and merger of
Allied Film Laboratory, Inc. a Michigan corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of Allied Digital ("AFL") into Hauppauge Record Manufacturing Ltd., a New York
corporation and indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of Allied Digital ("Hauppauge
Record"), which was consummated on November 1, 1996, the separate senior loan
credit facilities previously maintained by AFL and Hauppauge Record with
American National Bank & Trust Company of Chicago ("ANB") were combined under an
amended and restated loan and security agreement


                                       13
<PAGE>

dated as of October 30, 1996 between Hauppauge Record and ANB and effectuated
November 1, 1996 (the "ANB Loan Agreement"). The ANB Loan Agreement provides for
(i) a revolving loan (the "ANB Revolving Loan") of $22 million (subject to
certain borrowing base limitations based on Hauppauge Record's accounts
receivable and inventory), which revolving loan includes a $1.5 million letter
of credit facility, (ii) a term loan (the "ANB Term Loan") in the original
principal amount of $25.4 million and (iii) an additional loan (the "ANB
Additional Loan") in the original principal amount of $1.5 million. The ANB
Revolving Loan bears interest at the base rate published by ANB plus 1.25%. The
ANB Term Loan and the ANB Additional Loan bear interest at the base rate
published by ANB plus 1.50%. At April 30, 1997, the ANB base rate was 8.50%. The
Revolving Facility carries an unused commitment fee of 0.50%. The obligations of
Hauppauge Record under the ANB Loan Agreement are secured by a lien on
substantially all of Hauppauge Record's assets.

      At April 30, 1997, the aggregate amount of total indebtedness outstanding
of $50.6 million was as follows: (i) under the ANB Term Loan, $20.4 million,
(ii) under the ANB Revolving Loan, $16.7 million, (iii) under the ANB Additional
Loan, $1.2 million, (iv) the 10% Notes Payable to Stockholders, $9.0 million,
(v) the 11% Series B Notes Payable to Stockholders, $0.9 million, (vi) the Note
Payable to VCA Teletronics Inc. ("VCA"), $1.2 million and (vii) other debt of
$1.2 million.

      The ANB Term Loan is payable in an initial scheduled installment
aggregating $1,695,462 on October 31, 1996 (of which $1,179,000 was paid on
November 8, 1996), 30 consecutive monthly installments of $548,054 thereafter
through April 30, 1999 and a final installment of $273,098 on May 30, 1999,
together with additional prepayments of principal of $2,000,000 on October 31,
1997 and $5,000,000 on October 31, 1998. No prepayment fees result from these
scheduled prepayments.

      The ANB Additional Loan is payable in 25 consecutive monthly installments
which commenced December 31, 1996 of $60,000 each plus interest at 1.5% over
ANB's base rate.

      The 10% Notes Payable to Stockholders (the "10% Notes") are unsecured
obligations which bear interest at 10% per annum. Interest accrues only on the
original principal sum of $6.0 million and is payable quarterly. Upon default,
the interest rate increases to 12% per annum. To the extent interest is not
permitted to be paid pursuant to the terms of the ANB Loan Agreement, such
accrued and unpaid interest becomes payable on January 1, 2001. Payment of these
notes is subordinated to the payment of the obligations under the ANB Loan
Agreement. Payment of the original principal sum of $6 million, plus unpaid
interest thereon of $1.0 million through April 30, 1997, has been extended to
January 1, 2001.

      In connection with the Company's restructuring and merger referred to
above, the Subordinated 12% Series A Note Payable to Stockholder was repaid in
full on November 8, 1996 with the $1.5 million proceeds of the ANB Additional
Loan and $2 million advanced by certain other stockholders in the form of
additional subordinated 10% notes dated October 30, 1996 (the "Additional
Subordinated 10% Notes").

      The Additional Subordinated 10% Notes are unsecured obligations and
payable in full on December 31, 1998 with interest payable quarterly; however,
payment of principal and interest may be extended in full or in part to January
1, 2001 to the extent not permitted to be paid pursuant to the terms of the
amended and restated loan and security agreement with ANB.

      The Series B Notes Payable to Stockholders are unsecured obligations which
bear interest at 11% per annum, payable quarterly. Payment of these notes is
subordinated to the payment of the obligation under the ANB Loan. The notes
mature on January 1, 1999.

      The note payable to VCA is unsecured and is payable in annual installments
through January 1, 2001, including annual interest of 12%.

      Proceeds from the ordinary operations of Hauppauge Record are applied to
reduce the principal amount of borrowing outstanding under the ANB Loan
Agreement. Unused portions of the Revolving


                                       14
<PAGE>

Loan may be borrowed and reborrowed, subject to availability in accordance with
the then applicable commitment and borrowing limitations.

      The ANB Loan Agreement contains covenants which, among other things, (a)
require the Company to (i) maintain increasing levels of net worth, (ii)
maintain minimum debt service ratios and (iii) limit its annual capital
expenditures, and (b) place limitations on (i) additional indebtedness,
encumbrances and guarantees, (ii) consolidations, mergers or acquisitions, (iii)
investments or loans, (iv) disposal of property, (v) compensation to officers
and others, (vi) dividends and stock redemptions, (vii) issuance of stock, and
(viii) transactions with affiliates, all as defined in the ANB Loan Agreement.

      Cash Requirements. Allied Digital's current cash requirements, including
working capital and capital expenditure requirements, are funded from the
operations and the proceeds of borrowing by Hauppauge Record under the ANB Loan
Agreement.

      As of April 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $4.5 million and
$2.9 million unused and available under the ANB Revolving Loan. Net cash
provided by operating activities during the nine months ended April 30, 1997 was
$1.6 million. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.5 million, of
which substantially all was used for the purchase of replication equipment.

      Allied Digital currently expects that capital expenditures will be divided
primarily between maintenance capital expenditures and capital projects.
Maintenance capital expenditures include those required to maintain production
performance, while capital projects relate primarily to extending the life of
existing equipment, increasing capacity and decreasing production costs. Allied
Digital incurs approximately $1.5 million per year in cost of sales for
maintenance and repairs.

      Allied Digital has not paid any dividends on the Allied Digital Common
Stock since its inception. The payment of dividends, if any, will be contingent
upon Allied Digital's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and
general financial condition. It is the current policy of the Allied Digital
Board, in view of Allied Digital's contemplated financial requirements, to
retain all earnings, if any, for use in Allied Digital's business operations. As
of April 30, 1997, there is no equity available for the payment of dividends to
stockholders.

      Allied Digital is a legal entity separate and distinct from its
subsidiaries. As a holding company with no significant operations of its own,
the principal sources of its funds will be dividends and other distributions
from its operating subsidiary, borrowings and sales of equity. Restrictions
contained in the ANB Loan Agreement impose limitations on the amount of
distributions that Hauppauge Record may make to Allied Digital and prohibit
Allied Digital from using any such distributions to pay dividends to its
stockholders.

Impact of Inflation

      During recent years, Allied Digital has experienced decreasing margins as
a result of competitive pressures in its market segment. However, in the nine
month period ended April 30, 1997, gross profit increased $1.6 million to $23.9
million or 20.0% of net sales, from $22.3 million or 18.0% of net sales, for the
nine month period ended April 30, 1996, as a result of the Company reducing
labor costs, maximizing plant efficiencies and increasing the amount of higher
margin non-entertainment business in its sales mix. Additionally, Allied Digital
believes that, historically, the decline in its margins has been partially
offset by increases in volume as well as decreases in the cost of components.

      Allied Digital from time to time experiences increases in the costs of
material and labor, as well as other manufacturing and operating expenses.
Allied Digital's ability, consistent with that of its competitors, to pass along
such increased costs through increased prices has been limited due to
competitive pressures. By attempting to control costs, Allied Digital attempts
to minimize any effects of inflation on its operations.
