Loan and Security Agreement
The October 30, 1996 loan and security agreement provided the Company with
borrowings of up to $48,910,169 under credit facilities consisting of a (i)
$25,410,169 term loan, (ii) $22,000,000 revolving loan facility (combined
with a $1,500,000 letter of credit facility) and (iii) $1,500,000
additional loan. On August 19, 1997, the Company entered into an amendment
to the October 30, 1996 loan and security agreement with the bank which
provides the Company with a $3,450,000 capital expenditure credit facility.
The loan and security agreement (as amended) is collateralized by
substantially all of the assets of the Company. The agreement contains
covenants which, among other matters, (1) require the Company to (i)
maintain increasing levels of net worth, (ii) maintain a minimum debt
service ratio and (iii) limit its annual capital expenditures, and (2)
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 agreement. As of
April 30, 1998, there is no equity available for the payment of dividends
to stockholders. The agreement also contains provisions for fees payable to
the bank upon prepayment and an increased rate of interest during periods
of default. The term of this agreement extends to November 30, 2000.
a. Term Loan
The $25,410,169 term loan dated October 30, 1996 is payable in an
initial scheduled installment aggregating $1,695,462 on October 31,
1996 (of which $1,179,000 was repaid on November 8, 1996), 30
consecutive monthly installments of $548,054 thereafter through April
30, 1999 and a final installment on May 30, 1999 of $273,098 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. In addition, interest is payable monthly
at 1.5% over the bank's base rate (8.25% at April 30, 1998).

b. Revolving Loan
Under the revolving loan facility combined with a $1,500,000 letter of
credit facility, the Company may borrow up to a maximum of $22,000,000
based upon a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory, as
defined, less the sum of the undrawn face amount of any letters of
credit outstanding. Interest is payable monthly at 1.25% over the
bank's base rate. In addition, the Company is required to pay, on a
monthly basis, an unused facility fee of 0.5% per annum. At April 30,
1998, the Company had approximately $3,786,000 unused and available
under the revolving loan facility.
c. Additional Term Loan
The $1,500,000 additional loan dated October 30, 1996 was payable in 25
consecutive monthly installments commencing December 31, 1996 of
$60,000 each plus interest at 1.5% over the bank's base rate. In the
event the additional loan was repaid in full on or before December 31,
1997 and the loan and security agreement had not been terminated on or
before such date, the Company would not be required to pay a $100,000
fee to the bank on December 31, 1998. On December 31, 1997, the Company
repaid in full the remaining outstanding balance of $720,000 on this
additional loan to the bank.
d. Capital Expenditure Credit Facility
The $3,450,000 capital expenditure credit facility provides the Company
with a credit line through July 31, 1998 to finance up to 80% of the
value of capital equipment purchases (as defined). Such loans under the
facility are payable based on a 36-month amortization schedule with a
final payment of the entire unpaid principal balance on July 31, 2000.
These loans bear interest at 1.5% over the bank's base rate. In
addition, the Company is required to pay a $103,500 fee to the bank,
payable at a rate of 3% of each advance with a final payment for any
unpaid amount of the fee payable on July 31, 1998. Through April 30,
1998, the Company borrowed $1,589,000 from this credit facility. As of
April 30, 1998, $1,280,000 was outstanding under this facility.

Subordinated 10% Notes Payable to Stockholder
The subordinated 10% notes payable to stockholder are uncollateralized and
payable in full on January 1, 2001. Interest accrues only on the original
principal sum of $6,000,000 and is payable quarterly at 10% per annum (12%
upon default); however, through April 30, 1998, certain interest payments
were postponed pursuant to the terms of the loan and security agreement
with the bank. Partial payment of such accrued and unpaid interest becomes
periodically payable to the stockholder and is limited to a stipulated
percentage as defined in the loan and security agreement, provided no
default or event of default has occurred. The remaining portion of the
unpaid interest subject to this payment postponement becomes payable on
January 1, 2001. In accordance with the periodic interest payment
limitation provisions of the loan and security agreement, the Company paid
in fiscal 1998 approximately $383,000 of the accrued interest payable on
these notes through April 30, 1998.
Additional Subordinated 10% Notes Payable to Stockholders
The additional subordinated 10% notes payable to stockholders are
uncollateralized and payable in full on December 31, 1998 with interest

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE
In the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings Per
Share," which supersedes Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 15. Under
SFAS No. 128, earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock. Prior-period amounts have been
restated, where appropriate, to conform to the requirements of SFAS No.
128.

NOTE F - ACQUISITION
On December 17, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of Denver Dubbing, Inc., a videocassette
duplicator. The purchase price was $873,000 payable in cash of $170,000 and
the assumption of net liabilities for the balance. The purchase agreement
contained a covenant not-to-compete for a period of three years. Also,
under the purchase agreement, the Company may pay additional consideration
of $270,000 in the event net sales for the acquired company exceed certain
predetermined amounts during 1998 and 1999. The Company accounted for the
acquisition as a purchase and as such, the fair values of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded on the date of the
acquisition and the results of operations are included in the Company's
statement of earnings since the acquisition date. The excess of
consideration paid over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired
in the amount of $773,000 has been recorded as excess of fair value over
the cost of net assets acquired and is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 15 years. Pro forma historical results of operations are not
presented, as such results would not be materially different from the
historical results of the Company.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into a two year
employment agreement with an officer of the acquired company with an annual
base salary of approximately $150,000.
NOTE G - PROPOSED TRANSACTION
On May 5, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement (the
"Merger Agreement") with Analog Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed at
the direction of 399 Venture Partners, Inc. ("399"), an affiliate of
Citicorp Venture Capital, Ltd. In accordance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement, an investors' group consisting of 399 and certain members of
management of the Company will acquire the Company in a transaction
structured as a leveraged recapitalization (the "Merger").

(unaudited)
NOTE G (continued)
The Merger is subject to the customary conditions to closing, including
approval by a majority of the Company's stockholders, regulatory review and
other conditions. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding
share of the Company's common stock, except for treasury shares, shares
held directly or indirectly by 399 and shares held by certain members of
management, will be converted into the right to receive $5.00 in cash.
Certain stockholders who, together with 399, represent approximately 68.51%
of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company have executed
agreements to vote their shares in favor of the Merger. Following the
Merger, the capital stock of the Company will no longer be publicly traded.
The Merger is expected to be completed in early August 1998.
NOTE H - LITIGATION
On May 12, 1998, a complaint purporting to state a class action was filed
in the Delaware Court of Chancery by Crandon Capital Partners, alleged to
be a stockholder of the Company, on behalf of itself and all others
similarly situated, against the Company and its directors. The plaintiffs
allege that the Merger is wrongful, unfair and harmful to holders of common
stock and that it has been effected with unfair dealing, that the proposed
consideration of $5.00 a share is unfair to the Company's stockholders and
that the directors of the Company have violated their fiduciary obligation
owed to the plaintiffs and other members of the class. The complaint seeks
to enjoin the Merger and an unspecified amount of damages, in addition to
payment of attorney's fees and reimbursement of expenses. Management
believes that this claim is without merit and does not believe such claim
will have a material adverse effect on the Company; however, there can be
no assurance as to the outcome of such claim.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
On May 5, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with
Analog Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed at the direction of 399 Venture
Partners, Inc., an affiliate of Citicorp Venture Capital, Ltd. In accordance
with the terms of the Merger Agreement, an investors' group consisting of 399
and certain members of management of the Company will acquire the Company in a
transaction structured as a leveraged recapitalization.
The Merger is subject to the customary conditions to closing, including approval
by a majority of the Company's stockholders, regulatory review and other
conditions. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of
the Company's common stock, except for treasury shares, shares held directly or
indirectly by 399 and shares held by certain members of management, will be
converted into the right to receive $5.00 in cash. Certain stockholders who,
together with 399, represent approximately 68.51% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company have executed agreements to vote their shares in
favor of the Merger. Following the Merger, the capital stock of the Company will
no longer be publicly traded. The Merger is expected to be completed in early
August 1998.
Results of Operations - Three Month Period Ended April 30, 1998 compared to the
Three Month Period Ended April 30, 1997
Net sales for each of the three month periods ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 were
approximately $38.5 million. Although the Company continues to experience
favorable growth trends in sales for both CD Audio and CD ROM customers, the
decline in audiocassette sales kept the Company's consolidated net sales flat
for the quarter.
Gross profit for the three month period ended April 30, 1998 increased $0.8
million, or 22% of net sales from $7.7 million, or 19.9% of net sales from the
three month period ended April 30, 1997. This increase in gross profit was
primarily attributable to improvements in manufacturing efficiencies.
Operating expenses for the three month period ended April 30, 1998 were $6.8
million, or 17.6% of net sales compared to $6.3 million or 16.3% of net sales
for the three month period ended April 30, 1997. 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.
Income from operations of $1.7 million for the three month period ended April
30, 1998 compares to income from operations of $1.4 million for the three month
period ended April 30, 1997. This increase of $0.3 million primarily reflects
the effect of lower material costs net of the increased operating expenses
described above.
Non-operating expenses decreased to $0.7 million for the three month period
ended April 30, 1998 from $1.0 million for the three months ended April 30,
1997. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in interest expense,
attributable to a reduction in the principal amount of interest bearing debt.
For the three month period ended April 30, 1998, the Company realized income
before income taxes of $1.0 million, compared to income before income taxes of
$0.4 million for the three month period ended April 30, 1997.
A provision for Federal, state and local income taxes of $0.7 million was
recognized for the three month period ended April 30, 1998, compared to a tax
provision of $0.3 million for the three month period ended April 30, 1997.
After recognition of applicable income taxes, Allied Digital recognized net
income for the three month period ended April 30, 1998 of $0.3 million compared
to net income of $0.1 million for the three month period ended April 30, 1997
for the reasons noted above.

Results of Operations - Nine Month Period Ended April 30, 1998, compared to Nine
Month Period Ended April 30, 1997
Net sales for the nine month period ended April 30, 1998 were $127.1 million, an
increase of $7.7 million or 6.5% as compared to the nine month period ended
April 30, 1997. There were several factors contributing to this increase. As the
Company continues to penetrate its existing market, there also continues to be
additions of new customers to its expanding customer base. The Company has
entered into an exclusive CD manufacturing agreement with a new customer, and
continues to experience favorable growth trends in sales to the Company's CD
Audio and CD ROM customers. This favorable trend was partially offset by a
decline in sales to the Company's audiocassette customers in the second and
third quarters of fiscal 1998.
Gross profit for the nine month period ended April 30, 1998 increased $3.4
million to $27.2 million, or 21.4% of net sales, from $23.9 million or 20.0% of
net sales, for the nine month period ended April 30, 1997. Although the gross
profit dollar increase was primarily due to increased sales, the unpredictably
strong demand for audiocassettes and the demand for CDs exceeded the Company's
internal capacity in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, which caused the Company
to source additional capacity to outside contractors at lower margins. Despite
the negative impact of this outsourcing, the gross profit percentage increased
slightly primarily due to improvements in the manufacturing efficiencies as well
as fixed costs being spread over higher production volumes.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 1998 were $19.5 million
or 15.4% of net sales compared to $18.5 million or 15.5% of net sales for the
nine months ended April 30, 1997. The $1.0 million increase was primarily the
result of additional costs incurred for bad debt and sales commissions and
salaries.
Income from operations of $7.7 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1998
compares to $5.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997. This increase
of $2.3 million resulted from an increase in gross profit partially offset by
increased operating expenses described above.
Non-operating expenses decreased to $3.2 million for the nine months ended
April 30, 1998 from $3.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997. This
decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in interest expense, attributable
to a reduction in the principal amount of interest bearing debt.
For the nine months ended April 30, 1998, Allied Digital realized income before
income taxes of $4.5 million compared to income before income taxes of $2.0
million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 for the reasons noted above.
A provision for Federal, state and local income taxes of $2.6 million was
recognized for the nine months ended April 30, 1998, compared to a tax provision
of $1.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997.
After recognition of applicable income taxes, Allied Digital recognized net
income for the nine months ended April 30, 1998 of $1.9 million, compared to
income of $0.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's senior loan and credit facilities are with American
National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago ("ANB"). The October 30, 1996 ANB
loan agreement provides for (i) a revolving loan (the "ANB Revolving Loan") of
$22 million (subject to certain borrowing base limitations based on Allied'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)
-16-
<PAGE>
an additional loan (the "ANB Additional Loan") in the original principal amount
of $1.5 million. On August 19, 1997, the Company entered into an amendment to
the Loan and Security Agreement dated October 30, 1996 with ANB which provides
the Company with a $3.5 million capital expenditure credit facility (the "ANB
CAPEX Loans"). The ANB Revolving Loan bears interest at the base rate published
by ANB plus 1.25%. The ANB Term Loan, the ANB Additional Loan and the ANB CAPEX
Loans bear interest at the base rate published by ANB plus 1.50%. At April 30,
1998, the ANB base rate was 8.25%. The Revolving Facility carries an unused
commitment fee of 0.50%. The obligations of Allied under the ANB Loan Agreement
are secured by a lien on substantially all of Allied's assets.
At April 30, 1998, the aggregate amount of total indebtedness
outstanding of $43.4 million was as follows: (i) the ANB Term Loan, $11.9
million, (ii) the ANB Revolving Loan, $18.2 million, (iii) the ANB CAPEX Loans,
$1.3 million, (iv) the 10% Notes Payable to Stockholder, $7.3 million, (v) the
Additional Subordinated 10% Notes Payable to Stockholders, $2.0 million, (vi)
the 11% Series B Notes Payable to Stockholders, $0.9 million, (vii) the Note
Payable to VCA (related to the VCA acquisition), $0.9 million and (viii)
capitalized lease obligations, $0.9 million.
The ANB Term Loan is payable in an initial 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 $1,500,000 ANB Additional Loan ("Additional Loan") dated October
30, 1996 was payable in 25 consecutive monthly installments commencing December
31, 1996 of $60,000 each plus interest at 1.5% over ANB's base rate. In the
event the Additional Loan was repaid in full on or before December 31, 1997 and
the loan and security agreement had not been terminated on or before such date,
the Company would not be required to pay a $100,000 fee payable to ANB on
December 31, 1998. On December 31, 1997, the Company repaid in full the
remaining outstanding balance of $720,000 on the Additional Loan to ANB.
The ANB capital expenditure credit facility provides the Company with a
credit line through July 31, 1998 to finance up to 80% of the value of capital
equipment purchases (as defined). The ANB CAPEX Loans are payable based on a
36-month amortization schedule with a final payment of the entire unpaid
principal balance on July 31, 2000. In addition, the Company is required to pay
a $103,500 fee to ANB, payable at rate of 3% of each advance with a final
payment for any unpaid amount of the fee payable on July 31, 1998. Through April
30, 1998, the Company borrowed $1,589,000 from this credit facility. As of April
30, 1998, $1,280,000 was outstanding under this capital expenditure credit
facility.
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. Through April 30, 1998, certain
interest payments were postponed pursuant to the terms of the loan and security
agreement with ANB. Partial payment of such accrued and unpaid interest is
periodically payable to the stockholder and is limited to a stipulated
percentage as defined in the loan and security agreement, provided no default or
event of default occurred. The remaining portion of the unpaid interest subject
to this payment postponement becomes payable on January 1, 2001. In accordance
with the periodic interest payment limitation provisions of the loan and
security agreement, the Company paid in fiscal 1998 approximately $383,000 of
the accrued interest payable on these notes through April 30, 1998. Payment of
these notes is subordinated to the payment of the obligations under the ANB Loan
Agreement. These notes mature on January 1, 2001.
The Additional Subordinated 10% Notes Payable to Stockholders are
uncollateralized 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.
-17-
<PAGE>
The Series B Notes Payable to Stockholders are unsecured obligations
which bear interest at 11% per annum, payable quarterly. Payment of these notes
are 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 beginning January 31, 1995 through January 1, 2001, including
annual interest of 12%.
The capitalized lease obligations represent certain equipment leased by
the Company under agreements accounted for as capital leases. The obligations
for the equipment require the Company to make monthly payments through December
2001 with implicit interest rates from 5.27% to 19.48%.
Proceeds from the ordinary operations of Allied together with drawing
down on available funds on the Revolving Loan are applied to reduce the
principal amount of borrowing outstanding under the ANB Loan Agreement. Unused
portions of the Revolving 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 a
(viii) transactions with affiliates, all as defined in the ANB Loan Agreement.
Cash Requirements. The Company's current cash requirements, including
working capital and capital expenditure requirements, are funded from the
operations and the proceeds of borrowings by Allied under the ANB Loan
Agreement.
As of April 30, 1998, the Company had a net working capital deficiency
of $2.4 million and $3.8 million unused and available under the ANB Revolving
Loan. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended
April 30, 1998 was $8.8 million. Net cash used in investing activities totaled
$5.5 million, of which substantially all was used for the purchase of
replication equipment and leasehold improvements. The net working capital
deficiency is primarily a result of the current classification of the ANB term
loan $5,000,000 prepayment due on October 31, 1998. One source of temporarily
eliminating such deficit is the use of the $3.8 million available under the ANB
Revolving loan.
The Company 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.
The Company has not paid any dividends on the Company's Common Stock
since its inception. The payment of dividends, if any, will be contingent upon
the Company's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general
financial condition. It is the current policy of the Board of the Company , in
view of Company's contemplated financial requirements, to retain all earnings,
if any, for use in the Company's business operation.
The Company 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 Allied may make to the Company and prohibit the Company from
using any such distributions to pay dividends to its stockholders.
The Company expects to make the necessary modifications or changes to
its computer information systems to enable proper processing of transactions
relating to the Year 2000 and beyond. The Company does not currently have any
information concerning the Year 2000 compliance status of its suppliers and
customers. In the event that any of the Company's significant suppliers or
customers do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the
Company's business or operations could be adversely affected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. - Legal Proceedings -
On May 12, 1998, a complaint purporting to state a class action was
filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by Crandon Capital Partners, alleged to
be a stockholder of the Company, on behalf of itself and all others similarly
situated, against the Company and its directors. The plaintiffs allege that the
merger between the Company and Analog Acquisition Corp. (the "Merger") is
wrongful, unfair and harmful to holders of the Company common stock and that it
has been effected with unfair dealing, that the proposed consideration of $5.00
per share is unfair to the Company's stockholders and that the directors of the
Company have violated their fiduciary obligation owed to the plaintiffs and
other members of the class. The complaint seeks to enjoin the Merger and an
unspecified amount of damages, in addition to payment of attorneys' fees and
reimbursement of expenses. Management believes that this claim is without merit
and does not believe such claim will have a material adverse effect on the
Company; however, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such claim.
