Stockholders 
L & J Marketing, Inc.
     D/B/A Alliance Distributors
College Point, NY

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of L & J Marketing,  Inc. D/B/A
Alliance  Distributors  as of  December  31,  1996  and  1995  and  the  related
statements  of income and retained  earnings,  and cash flows for the years then
ended.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of L & J Marketing,  Inc. D/B/A
Alliance  Distributors  as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations  and its cash  flows  for the years  then  ended in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


1.   Nature of business:

     The Company, located in New York, is a distributor of home entertainment
     and consumer electronic products. The Company grants credit primarily to
     retailers in the New York metropolitan area.

2.   Significant accounting policies:

     a.   Inventory:

          Inventory, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of
          cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market.

     b.   Property and equipment:

          Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciation is computed
          by various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

     c.   Income taxes:

          The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to have
          its Federal and State income taxed as an S corporation, which provides
          that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are taxed on
          their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore,
          no provision or liability for Federal income taxes is reflected in
          these financial statements. New York State and New Jersey impose a
          minimum tax on S corporations based upon the maximum personal rate and
          the differential it would have paid if it were a C corporation;
          accordingly, any material provision for state income taxes is
          reflected in the financial statements. Provision for New York City
          income taxes is based on statutory rates.

     d.   Cash:

          The Company maintains its cash accounts in two commercial banks
          located in New York. The cash balances are insured by the Federal
          Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 at each bank.

     e.   Estimates:

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

     f.   Advertising costs:

          Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the
          years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were approximately $92,000 and
          $106,000, respectively.

4.   Note and acceptances payable, bank:

     The Company currently has available a $5,000,000 line of credit with a bank
     maturing June 30, 1997. Interest on direct borrowings is charged at 1% over
     prime. The Company has pledged, as collateral, all Company assets, as
     defined, in addition to personal guarantees of the stockholders.

     The line of credit agreement includes covenants which require the Company
     to maintain, among other things, certain working capital and net worth
     relationships. The Company is in compliance with all of the loan covenants
     as of December 31, 1996.

5.   Pension plan:

     The Company has a profit-sharing plan which covers all employees who meet
     the eligibility requirements based on age and years of service.
     Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the Company's
     principals. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, pension expense
     was $0 and $34,810, respectively.

          operating leases for showroom, office and warehouse space as follows:

               Years ending December 31, 1997     $ 96,000

                                         2001       56,000

          The leases provide for payment of real estate taxes and other
          operating expenses. Rent and occupancy expense for the years ended
          December 31, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $96,000 and $102,000,

On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of IMSI and
CAG. IMSI and CAG are engaged in the wholesale distribution of interactive
software games. To effect the acquisition, all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of each of IMSI and CAG were exchanged for 900,000 shares of
restricted common stock of the Company. The acquisition has been accounted for
as a pooling of interests in accordance with APB No. 16 and accordingly, the
Company's financial statements for the year ended October 31, 1997, have been
restated to include the results of operations of IMSI and CAG.

All other acquisitions were accounted for under purchase accounting. As a
result, the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses are adjusted from
their historical amount to their estimated fair value. Purchase accounting
adjustments have been preliminarily estimated by the Company's management based
upon available information and are believed by management to be reasonable.
There can be no assurance, however, that the final purchase accounting
adjustments that will ultimately be determined by the Company's management will
not differ from these estimates.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
October 31, 1997 has been prepared based on the audited historical consolidated
statement of operations of the Company for the year ended October 31, 1997 which
includes Take-Two, Mission, IMSI, CAG and GameTek/ART from July 29, 1997, the
date of its acquisition; the unaudited historical statement of operations of
GameTek for the period from November 1, 1996 to July 28, 1997; the historical
statement of operations for ART, prior to its acquisition, is immaterial and has
not been included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
operations; and the unaudited historical statement of operations of Alliance for
the period from October 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presented for
informational purposes only, is not necessarily indicative of the actual results
of operations of the Company that would have been reported if the acquisitions
of GameTek, IMSI, CAG, and Alliance had occurred as of November 1, 1996, nor
does such information purport to indicate results of future operations or
financial condition. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
present fairly such pro forma financial information have been made to the
financial statements, and are reflected in the accompanying notes. The unaudited
pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and with the financial statements
included in this filing.
