NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1 Basis of Presentation
The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of all normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
periods. The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results
for the nine months ended April 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1998.
The organization and the business of the Company, accounting policies
followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the
Company's consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company's
annual report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997. This quarterly report
should be read in conjunction with the above mentioned Securities and Exchange
Commission filings.
For comparability, certain April 30, 1997 amounts have been reclassified
where appropriate to conform to the financial statement presentation used at
April 30, 1998.
2 Earnings Per Share
During fiscal 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." In accordance with the requirements of
SFAS No. 128, Basic EPS was computed by dividing net loss after adjustment for
preferred dividend requirements, by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. Diluted EPS was computed by dividing net loss after adjustments for
preferred dividend requirements, by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. This excludes the antidilutive effect of outstanding equity
instruments. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted
EPS on the face of the statement of operations. Earnings per share amounts for
the same prior-year period are restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS
No. 128.
A reconciliation of the Basic EPS and Diluted EPS computations for net
earnings (loss) follows:

==========================
3 January 1998, Financing
In January 1998 the Company issued $620,000 principal amount of 10%
convertible promissory notes due April 15, 1999 ("Notes"). The holders of the
Notes may convert them at various times, commencing October 15, 1998, into
shares of Common Stock, by dividing the principal amount of the Notes being
converted by $1.00, subject to certain adjustments. The Company at the same time
issued warrants providing for the purchase of a total of 640,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to
certain adjustments.
The discount of the beneficial conversion feature of the Notes of $465,000
and the fair value of the warrants of $155,000 have been treated as additional
discount on the issuance of the Notes, and accordingly have been netted against
the principal amount outstanding. The conversion feature is being amortized from
the date the security was issued until the date it first becomes convertible and
the warrants are beingamortized over the life of the debt.
4 Stock Option Repricing
On February 20, 1998 273,000 options previously issued to employees and
directors with a weighted average exercise price of $4.95 were repriced at
$2.50. This revaluation did not alter or amend any other provision of the
optionee's original option agreement, including vesting period and option term.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The information set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis" below
includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbor
created by that section. Readers are cautioned not to place undue influence on
these forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date hereof.
General
The Company was organized in August 1993 and develops, manufactures and markets
personalized videos and books for children. The process of mass-producing
individual videos featuring a subject's likeness and spoken name was developed
internally by the Company. The Company claims proprietary rights in its
technologies and productions process. In April 1997, the Company was issued a
U.S. patent relating to its digital process (Patent No. 5,523,587).
Revenue Recognition
The Company's products are marketed directly to consumers and also through
direct TV shopping networks, catalogs and retail stores. All customer video
orders, regardless of their source, are processed at the Company's manufacturing
plant in New York City. Revenue is recognized when the completed personalized
product is shipped to the customer.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in connection with the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Nine month comparisons: Comparison of the nine month fiscal period begun August
1, 1997 through April 30, 1998, ("Current Period") against the nine month fiscal
period begun August 1, 1996 through April30, 1997, ("Prior Period"):
Sales: Sales declined 23% to $822,000 in the Current Period from $1,063,000 in
the Prior Period. The direct to consumer sales declined 26% to $476,000 in the
Current Period from $643,000 in the Prior Period. Catalog and retail sales
declined $207,000 or approximately 50% to $206,000 for the Current Period. These
declines were offset by direct TV vender-based sales, a new category (Home
Shopping Network and QVC) of $116,000.
The decrease in the Current Period is attributed to the fact that the
Company put all its efforts into its newly licensed Barney tape, My Party With
Barney, which premiered on the shopping networks and started shipping in April,
as compared to the Prior Period, when the Company had introduced four new Kideo
titles along with an advertising campaign direct to the consumer, which
contributed significantly to the increase in sales for the nine months ended
April 30, 1997.
The Company sells a plush version of Gregory Gopher, a proprietary
character, and a non-personalized audiocassette featuring the sound track from
the Gregory Gopher videos. Sales of these ancillary products accounted for
$24,000 in sales or 3% for the Current Period and have not been significant to
date.
Late in the third quarter the Company introduced two new personalized book
titles along with personalized stickers. The Company has been promoting prepaid
orders for its new products directly to the consumer and through direct TV
shopping networks. No sales were recorded for the Current Period as personalized
books and stickers were first shipped in May 1998.
Cost of Sales: The Company had a gross profit of 6% or $50,000 for the Current
Period as compared to a loss in the Prior Period of ($36,000). Continued
inventory controls and improved manufacturing process, combined
9
<PAGE>
with a decrease in volume, have reduced the cost of raw materials and direct
labor, generating savings of $38,000 and $53,000 respectively. Depreciation
expense declined $104,000 in the Current Period due to the retirement of
manufacturing equipment in the Prior Period. Amortization expense increased
$147,000 in the Current Period. Royalties and other fixed costs of sales showed
savings of $12,000 and $50,000 for the Current Period.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses decreased $906,000 or 49% in the Current
Period to $946,000 from $1,852,000 in the Prior Period. Promotional and media
expenses decreased by $542,000 in the Current Period as a result of spending cut
backs by the Company. Additional decreases reflect reductions in sales related
payroll and benefits of $252,000, outside services of $45,000 and a decrease in
shipping expenses of $66,000. These savings were offset by an increase in
commissions (net of related vender expenses) of $27,000 mostly related to sales
of the new Barney tape on direct TV shopping networks. The Company's present
marketing programs include direct to consumer Barney promotions, a "Kideo
Catalog" and a Kideo products promotion on the TV shopping networks.
General and administrative expenses: The Company's general and administrative
expenses decreased $476,000 or 32% to $1,001,000 in the Current Period from
$1,477,000 in the Prior Period. This decrease is attributed to the impact of the
development of new, more efficient production technology that was developed and
put into place in the Prior Period. Other cost-effective savings by the Company
during the Current Period were in payroll and related payroll expenses of
$115,000, insurance of $21,000, professional fees of $76,000, expenses
associated with being a public company of $23,000 and infrastructure costs of
$89,000. These savings were offset by higher depreciation charges of $30,000.
The Company regularly reviews its general and administrative expenses for
potential cost effective savings and implements them as and when practical.
Management does not currently anticipate that, relative to the revenues expected
to be generated in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998,
that the Company's general and administrative expenses will run at a rate
proportionally higher then they did in the Current Period.
Loss from operations: The loss from operations decreased $1,468,000 or 44% to
$1,897,000 in the Current Period from $3,365,000 in the Prior Period. In
response to unprofitable promotions spending in the prior periods, the Company
has implemented cost-saving measures that include across-the-board salary
reductions, reductions in shipping costs, headcount, benefits, and discretionary
spending. The Company continues this management policy as evidenced by the
decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Current Period
as compared to the Prior Period.
Other income (expense): The Current Period reflects amortization of discount and
deferred debt expense of the January 1998 Financing of $173,000, along with debt
and lease interest expenses net of interest income in that period. The Prior
Period reflects an excess of interest income from investments (Treasury bills,
money market funds and corporate commercial paper) over lease interest expenses.
Net Loss: The net loss in the Current Period was $2,105,000 or $0.59 loss per
share on 3,570,899 average shares of common stock outstanding, as compared to
the Prior Period net loss of $3,345,000, or $1.14 loss per share on 2,939,014
average shares of common stock outstanding.
Three-month comparison: Comparison of the quarter begun February 1, 1998 through
April 30, 1998, ("Current Quarter") against the quarter begun February 1, 1997
through April 30, 1997, ("Prior Quarter"):
Sales: Sales declined 24% to $229,000 in the Current Quarter from $302,000 in
the Prior Quarter. The direct to consumer sales decreased 63% to $87,000 in the
Current Quarter from $234,000 in the Prior Quarter. The catalogue and
retail-sourced sales for the Current Quarter decreased 65% or $40,000 to
$23,000. These reductions in sales were offset by direct TV vender-based sales,
a new category (Home Shopping Network and QVC) of $116,000 or 51% of Current
Quarter sales.
During the Current Quarter the Company put all its efforts into its newly
licensed Barney tape, My Party With Barney, which premiered on the shopping
networks and started shipping in April, as compared to the Prior Quarter, when
the Company's new Kideo titles were being supported by advertising campaigns
direct to the consumer, which contributed significantly to the increase in sales
for the three months ended April 30, 1997.
10
<PAGE>
Late in the Current Quarter the Company introduced two new personalized
book titles along with personalized stickers. The Company has been promoting
prepaid orders for its new products directly to the consumer and through the
direct TV shopping networks. No sales were recorded for the Current Quarter as
personalized books and stickers were first shipped in May 1998.
The Company sells a plush version of Gregory Gopher, a proprietary
character, and a non-personalized audiocassette featuring the sound track from
the Gregory Gopher videos. Sales of these ancillary products were less then 1%
for the Current Quarter and have not been significant to date.
Cost of Sales: The Company had a gross loss of $30,000 in the Current Quarter as
compared to a gross profit of $39,000 in the Prior Quarter. Continued inventory
controls, purchasing of raw materials, improved manufacturing process combined
with the decrease in sales have created savings of $10,000 in raw material
purchases. Continued fixed expenses of $110,000 of amortization of content
costs, quarterly through January 1999 and $49,000 of depreciation on production
equipment precludes a gross profit at the Current Quarter's level of sales.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses decreased $295,000 or 49% in the Current
Quarter to $303,000 from $598,000 in the Prior Quarter. This decrease primarily
reflects a reduction in marketing programs and promotions of $302,000 and sales
related payroll and benefits of $56,000. These savings reflect spending cut
backs by the Company. The Company incurred an increase of $62,000 of additional
commission and vender prepaid kit expenses mostly related to sales of the new
Barney tape on the direct TV shopping networks. The Company's present marketing
programs include direct to consumer Barney promotions, a "Kideo Catalog" and a
Kideo products promotion on the TV shopping networks.
General and administrative expenses: The Company's general and administrative
expenses decreased $93,000 or 21% to $347,000 in the Current Quarter from
$440,000 in the Prior Quarter. The primary causes for this decrease were in
payroll and related payroll expense of $29,000 and professional fees of $68,000
in the Current Quarter. Other cost-effective savings by the Company during the
Current Quarter were in expenses associated with being a public company of
$8,000 and all over infrastructure costs. These savings were offset by new
product development costs inclusive of software updates of $23,000 related to
personalized books and stickers.
Loss from operations: The loss from operations decreased $319,000 or 32% to
$680,000 in the Current Quarter from $999,000 in the Prior Quarter. In response
to unprofitable promotions spending in the prior periods, the Company has
implemented cost-saving measures that include across-the-board salary
reductions, reductions in shipping costs, headcount, benefits, and discretionary
spending. The Company continues this management policy as evidenced by the
decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Current Quarter
as compared to the Prior Quarter.
Management continues to seek strategic marketing alliances with the intent to
reduce its financial risk in direct-to-consumer promotions and to develop a
broader based distribution for the Company's products as accomplished with the
direct TV marketing networks. There can be no assurances that these objectives
will continue be achieved.
Other income (expense): The Current Period reflects amortization of discount and
deferred debt expense of the January 1998 Financing of $129,000, along with debt
and lease interest expenses net of interest income in that period. The Prior
Quarter reflects an excess of interest income from investments (Treasury bills,
money market funds and corporate commercial paper) over lease interest expenses.
Net Loss: The net loss in the Current Quarter was $836,000 or $0.23 loss per
share on 3,694,628 average shares of common stock outstanding, as compared to
the Prior Quarter net loss of $1,010,000, or $0.34 loss per share on 2,939,014
average shares of common stock outstanding.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During fiscal 1998 the Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share ("EPS"), replacing the presentation of previously required
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS. Earnings per share
amounts for the same prior-year periods have been restated to conform with the
11
<PAGE>
provisions of SFAS No. 128. The adoption of this statement did not result in
material changes to the previously reported EPS amounts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used by operations of $389,000 for the Current Period ended April
30, 1998 improved 81% or $1,666,000 from the Prior Period use of $2,055,000. The
Company invested $443,000 in the Current Period, of which $419,000 was in
capital content of the newly licensed Barney Kideo in the Current Period as
compared to $909,000 invested in the Prior Period. Additional funds were
generated by the issuance in October 1997 of capital stock for gross proceeds of
$300,000 and the January 1998 Financing activities for gross proceeds of
$500,000.
The Company's capital requirements in connection with its development of
new product, infrastructure and marketing activities have been and will continue
to be significant. The Company anticipates, based on its currently proposed
plans and assumptions relating to its operations (including assumptions
regarding the progress and timing of its new licensed-character development
efforts, like those involving the Barney and Disney characters), that
anticipated revenues from operations and its current cash and cash equivalent
balances will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations and capital
requirements for the foreseeable future. In the event the Company's plans change
or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, however, the Company could
be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. The
Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or potential sources of any
additional financing, and it is not anticipated that existing stockholders will
provide any portion of the Company's future financing requirements.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be
available to the Company when needed, on commercially reasonable terms, or at
all.
Balance sheet conditions which may be indicators of the Company's
liquidity would include the cash balance along with the accounts receivable
(approximately [$705,000] at April 30, 1998, as compared to a cash balance and
accounts receivable of approximately [$195,000] at July 31, 1997); working
capital (which was a deficiency of approximately $1,737,000 at April 30, 1998,
as compared to a deficiency of approximately $666,000 at July 31, 1997); and the
stockholders' equity position (approximately ($727,000) at April 30, 1998, as
compared to approximately $422,000 at July 31, 1997). The increasing working
capital deficiency indicates the Company's need for additional capital during
the periods concerned. Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes
that its new vendor relationships with HSN and QVC as well as its licensing
agreement with Disney will generate revenues sufficient to fund its operations.
In March 1998, the Company introduced on the Home Shopping Network and
subsequently on QVC the Kideo title "My Party With Barney". Through May of 1998,
prepaid orders for Kideo titles had been placed with HSN and QVC in the amounts
of approximately $879,000 and $810,000 respectively, representing total sales of
$1,689,000 (virtually all of which represented orders for "My Party With
Barney"). Of that amount, the Company had collected approximately $1,276,000
through May 31, 1998. Although historically the Company has been dependent on
equity financings to fund operations, the Company expects that the continued
marketing of the Kideo products on HSN and QVC and the related funds generated
and other vendor based sales will continue to generate revenue and serve to fund
its operations and reduce its working capital deficit.
The Company has no current plans for additional financing.
Additionally, improvement in these indicators has in the past been
dependent on external sources of financing rather than through operations. Those
operating factors which would afford an evaluation of the Company's ability to
internally generate liquidity in both the short term and long term would include
the revenue growth rate, the gross margin generated from operating activities,
general and administrative expense spending relative to the revenue generated.
Operating cash flow as evidenced by earnings adjusted for the non-cash expenses
of depreciation, amortization of content costs and non-cash write-offs
(resulting in negative operating cash flow of [$1,399,000] for the nine months
ended April 30, 1998) would provide an indication of the financing needed to
fund future operating activities; however,

these must be evaluated along with management's actions to increase its revenue
stream, increase the efficiency of its marketing efforts, and control the costs
of its infrastructure as discussed above.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures at the
present time. Currently, the Company's sales volume can be met with existing
production equipment, and increases in volume can be met by adding additional
shifts with existing equipment. Capital expansion for additional production
equipment will be driven by increases in sales volume and will be funded by such
revenues.
