Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

LWR, Inc.

In November 2000, Liberty Media Corporation granted William R. Fitzgerald, a director and chairman of the board of directors of the Company, Larry E. Romrell, a director of the Company, David P. Beddow, then a director and chief executive officer of the Company, and another individual (who is neither a director nor an executive officer of the Company) an aggregate 4.0725% common stock interest in Liberty LWR, Inc. ("LWR"), a subsidiary of Liberty Media that owns a direct interest in the Company. Upon the formation of LWR on November 2, 2000, Liberty Media contributed to LWR (a) 31,635,682 shares of Class B common stock of the Company (b) all of Liberty Media's rights and obligations under a credit agreement between Liberty Media and the Company, and (c) an agreement to fund certain subordinated convertible loans to be made under that credit agreement. Liberty Media received 81,502 shares of LWR preferred stock and 10,000 shares of LWR common stock at the time of such contribution. Liberty Media then transferred a portion of its common stock to the individuals named above.

The LWR common stock interest granted to these individuals had a value of $407,250 on the date of grant. The percentage interests granted Messrs. Fitzgerald, Romrell and Beddow, and the values of such interests, are as follows:

	Percentage Common Stock Interest in LWR, Inc.		Value of Interest in LWR, Inc.
William R. Fitzgerald	1.25250	%	$	125,250
Larry E. Romrell	1.46250	%	$	146,250
David P. Beddow	.73125	%	$	73,125

In addition, LWR awarded Mr. Romrell and Mr. Beddow deferred bonuses in the initial amounts of $3,373,836 and $1,686,921, respectively, such amounts to decrease by an amount equal to any increase during the relevant period in the value of 21 LWR common shares in the case of Mr. Romrell and 10.5 LWR common shares in the case of Mr. Beddow. The relevant period is the period beginning on the date of grant (November 2, 2000) and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which the recipient ceases to be employed by Liberty Media or any of its affiliates ("Termination Date"), and (ii) November 2, 2005. The adjusted bonus is payable in cash, shares of Liberty Media Group tracking stock, shares of the Company's common stock or any combination of the foregoing (at the election of LWR) within 100 days following the earlier to occur of the Termination Date or the date on which the recipient ceases to be a "covered employee" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to Liberty Media or any affiliate of Liberty Media.

Liberty Media, LWR and all of the above individuals also entered into a stockholders' agreement in which the individuals could require Liberty Media to repurchase, after five years, all or part of their common stock interest in LWR in exchange for Liberty Media common stock at its then fair market value. In addition, Liberty Media has the right to repurchase, in exchange for shares of Liberty Media common stock, the LWR common stock interests held by such individuals at fair market value at any time. The stock grants to Messrs. Fitzgerald, Beddow and Romrell described herein were not made as compensation to such individuals in respect of their services to the Company as directors of the Company.

The Financial Statements and Schedules are being filed with this Amendment in order to correct the pro forma financial schedule included in Note 3 to the Registrant's consolidated financial statements, as filed with the Original 10-K.

In addition, the Company has restated such pro forma net losses significantly, primarily to reflect a change in the tax calculations made in connection therewith.

(b): (1) A report on Form 8-K was filed on January 8, 2001 and a report on Form 8-K/A was filed on February 15, 2001 disclosing the acquisition on December 22, 2000 of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Video Services Corporation of Northvale, New Jersey and to disclose the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 22, 2000 between Liberty Media and the Registrant.

(2) A report on Form 8-K was filed on February 15, 2001 disclosing the acquisition on January 5, 2001 of a 1% interest in Livewire Network Services, LLC for cash through an Ownership Interest Purchase Agreement and disclosing the terms of an Operating Agreement between Livewire and Ascent Entertainment Group, Inc.

(3) Reports on Form 8-K and 8-K/A were filed on February 16, 2001 and April 16, 2001, respectively, disclosing the acquisition on February 1, 2001 of substantially all of the assets of the business unit known as "Group W Network Services" from Viacom, Inc. pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated October 23, 2000.

(4) A report on Form 8-K was filed on April 20, 2001 disclosing the resignation of David P. Beddow, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors.

(c): Exhibits are as listed in the Exhibit Index on page 16 of this 10-K/A Report.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Liberty Livewire Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Livewire Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 2000, the five months ended May 31, 2000, and the four months ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberty Livewire Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 2000, the five months ended May 31, 2000, and the four months ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective June 9, 2000, Liberty Media Corporation obtained a controlling interest in Liberty Livewire Corporation in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the business combination, the consolidated financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the periods before the acquisition and therefore, is not comparable.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in Schedule II is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commissions' rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole for the seven months ended December 31, 2000, the five months ended May 31, 2000 and the four months ended December 31, 1999.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To The Todd-AO Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Todd-AO Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries as of August 31, 1998 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule 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 The Todd-AO Corporation and its subsidiaries as of August 31, 1998 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As explained in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective September 1, 1998, the Company changed its method of accounting for the cost of start-up activities in accordance with Statements of Position No. 98-5.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index of financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commissions' rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

LIBERTY LIVEWIRE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share and option data)

1. CHANGE IN CONTROL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Change in Control—On June 9, 2000 The Todd-AO Corporation ("Todd-AO") stockholders approved the acquisition by Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty Media") of a controlling interest in Todd-AO and related merger proposals (collectively, the "Todd Merger"), voted in favor of certain post-merger business combinations as set forth in an Agreement between Todd-AO and Liberty Media, dated as of February 11, 2000, and approved the change of Todd-AO's name to Liberty Livewire Corporation ("Livewire" or the "Company"). In the Todd Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Todd-AO Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4 of a share of Class A Livewire Common Stock and 0.5 of a share of AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") Class A Liberty Media Group tracking stock. Liberty Media's aggregate ownership interest in the Company as of December 31, 2000 consists of Class B Common Stock of Livewire representing approximately 85.5% of the Company's outstanding equity, which consists of Livewire's Class A and Class B Common Stock. All of Livewire's outstanding Class B Common Stock is currently held by Liberty Media. This ownership gives Liberty Media 98.3% voting control of the Company.

The consideration paid by Liberty Media in the Todd Merger, consisting of 5,501,256 shares of Liberty Media Group Class A (LMGA) stock valued at $101.5 million and conversion of vested options valued at $7.5 million, was allocated based on the preliminary fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired with the excess consideration of $75.4 million recorded as goodwill and $14.1 million as identifiable intangible assets.

Liberty Media is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. It's former parent, Tele-Communications, Inc ("TCI"), was acquired by AT&T by merger in March 1999. Liberty Media and its subsidiaries constitute substantially all of the businesses and assets of Liberty Media Group. Liberty Media Group Class A ("LMGA") and Class B ("LMGB") Common Stock are tracking stocks of AT&T that are intended to reflect the economic performance of the Liberty Media Group.

Basis of Presentation—Due to the level of ownership of the Company obtained by Liberty Media as a result of the merger as discussed above and the contribution of Four Media Company ("4MC") as discussed in note 2, Liberty Media has applied "push down" accounting and transferred to the Company the preliminary fair value adjustments relating to the assets of Todd-AO at June 9, 2000. The assets and liabilities of 4MC have been recorded at Liberty Media's historical value including preliminary fair value adjustments resulting from the acquisition of 4MC by Liberty Media.

On August 10, 2000, the Board of Directors of Livewire approved the change of the Company's fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. A transition report on Form 10-Q covering the transition period from September 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 2000.

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 and the financial statements for the five months ended May 31, 2000, the four months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended August 31, 1999 and 1998 represent the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Todd-AO before the acquisition by Liberty Media. The consolidated financial statements for the seven months ended December 31, 2000 represent the consolidated financial condition and results of

operations of the Company after giving effect to the Liberty Media merger. For financial statement purposes, the acquisition by Liberty Media is deemed to have occurred on June 1, 2000.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents—The Company considers investments with original purchased maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Marketable securities and investments—Marketable securities consist primarily of corporate preferred stocks and bonds. Management has classified all investment securities as available-for-sale. As a result, securities are reported at fair value with net unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in stockholders' equity. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices using the specific identification method. Investments include stock and other investments which management intends to hold for more than one year.

Property and equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed at straight-line rates based upon the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. The principal rates are as follows: buildings, 3-5% per annum; equipment, 10-20% per annum; leaseholds, leasehold improvements, and lease acquisition costs over the term of the lease.

Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the value of net assets acquired, and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over useful lives of 20 years.

Intangibles—Intangible assets consist of the following:

(In thousands)	December 31, 2000
Assembled workforce	$	29,580
Employment agreements		10,850
Covenants not to compete		10,930
Tradenames		2,610

		53,970
Accumulated amortization		(4,945	)

Intangible assets, net	$	49,025

Intangible assets of the Company are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Assembled workforce		5 years
Employment agreements		5 years
Covenants not to compete		3 to 5 years
Tradenames		20 years

Long-Lived Assets—Management continuously monitors and evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets, to determine whether their carrying values have been impaired. In evaluating the value and future benefits of long-term assets, their carrying value is compared to management's best estimate of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining amortization period. Management also considers events or changes in circumstances, which indicate that an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.

As a result of the Company's recent investment in advanced digital technologies and the acceleration in demand by the marketplace for these advanced technologies, certain older composite

digital and analogue-based technologies have experienced a significant reduction in demand. In fiscal year 1998 the Company recorded an impairment loss based on an appraisal of this older equipment in the amount of $2,414. In addition, a lease impairment cost of $353 was also recognized in 1998 due to the loss of a beneficial option in the renegotiation of a building lease.

Income taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109 generally considers all expected future events other than proposed changes in the tax law or rates.

Foreign currency translation—The Company's foreign subsidiary's functional currency is its local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates. The effects of the foreign currency translation adjustments are deferred and are included in stockholders' equity as a component of comprehensive income (loss).

Net income per common share—The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"), during the year ending August 31, 1998. Under SFAS No. 128, "Basic" EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents in computing diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method.

During a loss period the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options has an antidilutive effect. As a result of the loss for the five months ended May 31, 2000 and the loss for the seven months ended December 31, 2000, stock options representing 719,739 and 332,920 shares of potential common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation. Additionally, out-of-the money options to purchase approximately 543,000 and 365,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during fiscal years ended August 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. They were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share as they would have been antidilutive. For the year ended August 31, 1999, debentures convertible into 643,341 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share as they were antidilutive.

Fair value of financial instruments—The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Notes payable are carried at amounts approximating fair values based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar collateral and maturities.

The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. They are used to manage well-defined interest rate risks.

Effective December 28, 2000 the Company entered into a one-year interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America, N.A. for a notional amount of $365 million to hedge the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on its floating rate credit facility. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay 6.03% in exchange for receiving three-month LIBOR on the notional amount. Settlements are quarterly and the contract expires December 28, 2001.

The Company intends for this instrument to partially hedge the exposure to variability in future cash flows by exchanging variable rate debt for fixed rate debt, which under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" qualifies for consideration as a cash flow hedge. Hedge effectiveness must be measured by comparing changes in the intrinsic value of the derivative instrument to the changes in the expected future cash flows on the debt in order to apply hedge

accounting under SFAS No. 133. To maintain effectiveness, the cumulative change between the hedged item and the derivative instrument must be within 80 to 125% using the cumulative dollar offset method. The Company will evaluate the hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis.

Concentration of credit risk and significant customers—The Company's accounts receivable are related primarily to the entertainment industry and are unsecured.

On a consolidated basis, the Company's ten largest customers account for approximately 25% of revenues for the seven months ended December 31, 2000. No single customer accounted for more than 4% of revenues. The Walt Disney Company and its affiliated companies and MGM accounted for approximately 21% and 12%, respectively, of the total revenue for the Content Management segment of the Company for the seven months ended December 31, 2000. DirecTV, MTV, and TVN accounted for approximately 22%, 19%, and 18%, respectively, of the total revenue for the Content Distribution segment of the Company for the same period. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the total revenue in any other segment of the Company.

Prior to the acquisition of Todd-AO, the Walt Disney Company and its affiliated companies was the only customer to account for more than 10% of revenues. They accounted for approximately 16% and 15% of revenues for the years ended August 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Use of 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 certain 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation—In fiscal 1998, the Company adopted the disclosure only provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The Company continues to account for its stock compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" including related interpretations.

Change in Accounting Principle—The Company adopted the Statements of Position (SOP) No. 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" during fiscal year 1999. The effect of the adoption was to record an expense, net of tax, of $293 in fiscal year 1999.

Comprehensive Income—In fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted Statement of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.

Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year's presentation.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". In July 1999 the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to no later than January 1, 2001 for the Company's financial statements. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair values of those derivatives would be reported in the earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value of assets or liabilities or cash flows from forecasted transactions. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting For Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", an amendment of SFAS No. 133. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have any effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Under a new long-term credit agreement dated December 22, 2000 with several banks and other financial institutions, including Bank of America, Livewire may borrow up to $415 million in term and revolving loans. Livewire may add new lenders to the agreement (with the consent of the current lenders) increasing the available borrowings up to an additional $135 million for a total commitment of $550 million. In the discussion that follows, the $135 million that is subject to additional lenders and consent of current lenders, is referred to as the "additional commitment". Term loan B has a current commitment of $58.5 million with an additional commitment of $41.5 million available. Term loan B matures on June 30, 2007. Principal payments begin on June 30, 2001 and are due semi-annually from that date. Each principal installment is 0.5% of the original principal amount with the remaining 94% due on the maturity date. Term loan A has a current commitment of $125 million with an additional commitment of $25 million available. Term loan B must be fully extended to its current commitment before the term loan A funds are received. Term loan A matures on December 22, 2006. Principal payments begin on September 30, 2002 and are due semi-annually. Principal installments range from

2.5% of the original principal amount in the first year of installments to 21.25% at the maturity date. The revolving credit loans (the "Revolver") have a current commitment of $231.5 million with an additional commitment of $68.5 million available. The Revolver loans are available from December 28, 2000 through December 21, 2006. The termination date for the Revolver loans is December 22, 2006. Interest for all the loans is paid quarterly in arrears and is based on the "Alternate Base Rate" or the "Eurodollar Rate", whichever is applicable to the loan, plus margins based on the leverage ratio as defined in the agreement for term A and the Revolver loans and defined margins for term B loans. The Alternate Base Rate is a daily fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and the Prime Rate. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate per annum equal to the average British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in the relevant currency or an alternate base, as defined in the agreement, if that rate is unavailable. The Revolver is also subject to a commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.5% per annum subject to the leverage ratio and based on the unused portion of the current commitment. The loans are collateralized by substantially all of the operating assets of the Company. Material restrictions include: the Interest Coverage Ratio may not be less than 2.5:1 through December 31, 2003 (increasing thereafter); the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1:1 through December 31, 2003 (increasing thereafter); Other Indebtedness may not exceed $75 million; the Leverage Ratio is not to exceed 4.25:1 through June 30, 2002 (decreasing thereafter); Consolidated Operating Cash Flow may not be less than $32 million. The agreement permits debt under the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Liberty Media of up to $310 million (See note 11).

In June 2000, the Company, through its indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, TeleCine, Ltd., financed the purchase of a freehold property at 48 Charlotte Street, London, U.K. with a 10-year mortgage note in the amount of $3.9 million bearing interest at 8.02% per annum. The loan is secured by the property.

In April 1999, the Company, through its indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, TeleCine, Ltd., financed the purchase of the freehold property at 50/54 Charlotte Street, London, U.K. with a 10-year term mortgage loan in the amount of $5.2 million. The loan is secured by the property. Equal payments of $105,000 (principal and interest) are due quarterly based on a 25-year amortization period with the balance of the note due after 10 years. Interest is fixed at 6.7251%. The note contains a minimum net worth requirement of at least $9 million plus 50% of earnings subsequent to fiscal year 1998.

The Company exercised its option to purchase for $5,699 equipment leased under a sale/leaseback transaction that matured in December 1999. The purchase was funded by borrowings under the credit facilities and is payable as a capital lease obligation over two years maturing in December 2002 with interest based on LIBOR.

Livewire and its subsidiaries have entered into various capital leases related to the purchase of equipment. The capital lease obligations are due at various times through 2004 and bear interest at rates of 7.74% to 19.4%.

Other long-term debt consists of notes and obligations acquired in connection with other acquisitions and bearing interest between 9.4% and the prime rate plus¹/4%.

5. INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to the following:

	Seven months ended December 31, 2000		Five months ended May 31, 2000		Four months ended December 31, 1999		Year ended August 31, 1999		Year ended August 31, 1998
Federal statutory income tax rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%
Adjust to actual Company rate	0		(1.0	)	(1.0	)	(1.0	)	(1.0	)

Adjusted federal statutory income tax rate	35.0		34.0		34.0		34.0		34.0
State and foreign taxes, net of federal benefit	(8.5	)	(10.2	)	(48.6	)	0.0		(6.8	)
Non-deductible goodwill amortization	(86.2	)	(1.8	)	0		0		0
Other, net	(0.5	)	(4.0	)	(1.1	)	1.7		(0.7	)

Total	(60.2	)%	18.0	%	(15.7	)%	35.7	%	26.5	%

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Components of the income tax provision are as follows:

		Seven Months Ended December 31, 2000			Five Months Ended May 31, 2000			Four Months Ended December 31, 1999			Year Ended August 31, 1999			Year Ended August 31, 1998

At December 31, 2000, the Company has $43.3 million and $61.1 million in net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. These net operating losses begin to expire in the year 2019 for federal purposes and 2004 for state purposes. In addition, the Company has $.6 million and $2.5 million of income tax credits for federal and state purposes with no expiration date.

On the date of acquisition, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards are subject to the change in control provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The limitations on the net operating loss carryforwards do not have a significant impact on the availability and utilization of the losses.

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On June 9, 2000, in connection with the Todd Merger, the Company amended and restated in its entirety its Certificate of Incorporation. Under the prior Certificate of Incorporation, the Company was authorized to issue 37,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 30,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock ("Old Class A Stock"), 6,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock ("Old Class B Stock") and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Under the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the

total number of shares of capital stock authorized to be issued was increased to 405,000,000. 400,000,000 of the authorized shares are designated common stock ("Common Stock") and 5,000,000 are designated preferred stock ("Preferred Stock"). Of the total amount of authorized Common Stock, 300,000,000 shares have been designated as Class A Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares have been designated as Class B Common Stock. All the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock will have a par value of $.01 per share. Class A Common Stock shareholders are entitled to one vote per share and Class B Common Stock shareholders are entitled to ten votes per share. In all other respects, the Class A and B Common Stock are substantially identical and have equal rights and privileges.

On June 9, 2000, pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each outstanding share of Old Class A Stock and Old Class B Stock was converted into or reconstituted as four-tenths (0.40) of a share of Class A Common Stock and six-tenths (0.60) of a share of Class B Common Stock.

7. STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

Stock Options

The Company had five stock option plans: The 1986, 1994, 1995, and 1997 Stock Option Plans and the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. No stock options or shares were issued from the 1998 Plan. These plans provided for the granting of either non-qualified or incentive stock options at not less than 85% and 100% of the market value of the stock on the date of the grant, respectively. Options generally became exercisable in installments commencing as of the beginning of a fiscal year near the date of grant.

On December 10, 1998, the Company granted to all option holders a one-time re-pricing adjustment with respect to all options outstanding with exercise prices in excess of the $8.00 per share market value determined as of that date. Option holders electing to reduce the exercise price of their share options agreed to reduce the number of their affected option shares outstanding by the same ratio as the price reduction.

Pursuant to the Todd Merger on June 9, 2000, each outstanding Todd-AO stock option under all plans became fully vested and was converted into a rollover option to purchase 0.5 of a LMGA share and 0.4 of a Livewire Class A share. All of such converted options automatically expired six months from the acquisition date of June 9, 2000.

A Stock Option Fulfillment Agreement ("Agreement") was executed between Liberty Media and Livewire as of June 10, 2000 to create a mechanism for Livewire to fulfill its obligations under the rollover options as they pertain to shares of LMGA.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Livewire purchased LMGA stock on the open market to fulfill the .5 LMGA share portion of the options exercised. To fund such purchases, Liberty Media contributed cash to Livewire equal to (i) the number of LMGA shares delivered pursuant to the rollover option electionstimes (ii) the average of the high and low price per LMGA shares during the day the rollover option was exercised (iii) less a pro rata share of proceeds received from the option holder. In consideration for such capital contributions, Livewire issued shares of Livewire's Class B Common Stock in an amount equal to (i) the number of LMGA shares deliverable upon exercise,times (ii) 1.2.

During the seven months ended December 31, 2000, 830,871 Todd-AO converted options were exercised for 332,348 shares of Livewire Class A shares. For the funding of the LMGA shares to the option holders, 296,038 shares of Livewire Class B shares have been issued to Liberty Media valued at $5.1 million as consideration for payments made to Livewire for the purchase of LMGA stock on the open market. A gain of $836,000 has been included in the statement of income based on the decrease in LMGA stock price between the date of option exercises and the date the LMGA shares were purchased by Livewire on the open market.

The following table presents the number and weighted average exercise price of the Todd-AO Stock Options and the Livewire and Liberty Media options that were issued in exchange for the Todd-AO options:

FASB 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Stock Options

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. The estimated fair value of options granted during the five months ended May 31, 2000, four months ended December 31, 1999, the year ended August 31, 1999, and the year ended August 31, 1998 pursuant to SFAS 123 was approximately $52,000, $77,000, $490,000, and $343,000, respectively. There were no options granted during the seven months ended December 31, 2000. The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0.40%-0.75%, volatility of 25%, a risk free interest rate of 5.65% for May 31, 2000, 5.12% for the four months ended December 31, 1999, 4.95% for August 31, 1999, and 5.05% for August 31, 1998 and expected option lives of 5 to 9 years. Had the Company accounted for its stock based compensation pursuant to the fair value based accounting method in SFAS No. 123, the

Company's net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

		Livewire			Todd-AO
		Seven Months Ended December 31, 2000			Five Months Ended May 31, 2000			Four Months Ended December 31, 1999		Year Ended August 31, 1999		Year Ended August 31, 1998
Net income (loss)

Stock Appreciation Rights

Pursuant to the acquisition of 4MC by Liberty Media each outstanding 4MC stock option was converted into a stock appreciation right ("SARs") at a ratio 0.32258 shares of LMGA stock for each 1.0 share of 4MC stock. Upon the election to exercise, holders of vested SARs have the option of receiving any net cash appreciation of LMGA stock over the exercise price in cash or shares of LMGA stock.

The following table presents the number and weighted average exercise price of SARs to purchase LMGA stock for the seven months ended December 31, 2000.

		LMGA SARs	Weighted-Average Exercise Price
Converted SARs at June 9, 2000		3,856,112	$	12.50
	Exercised	591,839		11.59

At December 31, 2000		3,264,273		12.66

Exercisable at December 31, 2000		2,584,009	$	12.56

Exercise prices for SARs outstanding at December 31, 2000 ranged from $.53 to $15.50 and the weighted average remaining contractual life was 7.6 years.

Summarized information about the outstanding SARs at December 31, 2000 is as follows:

Range of Exercise Prices		Number of Outstanding at December 31, 2000	Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable at December 31, 2000	Weighted-Average Exercise Price
$	.53	5,998	5.8 years	$	.53	5,998	$	.53
$	10.08 to 12.98	2,760,118	7.8 years	$	12.32	2,301,527	$	12.32
$	13.37 to 15.50	498,157	7.3 years	$	14.73	276,484	$	14.80

$	.53 to 15.50	3,264,273	7.6 years	$	12.66	2,584,009	$	12.56

The accrued expense for SARs recorded by Liberty Media at the acquisition of 4MC was $52.9 million. The accrued expense at June 9, 2000 assumed under the Contribution Agreement between Liberty Media and the Company was $30.8 million. The accrued expense at December 31, 2000 is $979,000. The consolidated statement of income for the seven months ended December 31, 2000 reflects a credit adjustment of $29.6 million due to the decline in the stock price underlying the SARs. Upon delivery of an exercise notice to the Company by a participant in the option plan, the Company forwards such notice to Liberty Media. Liberty Media processes the exercise notice. If the participant has elected a cash settlement for the options, Liberty Media will remit funds equivalent to the difference between the LMGA share price established by a ten day trailing average as of the day prior to the exercise and the exercise price for the participant's options multiplied by the number of shares exercised. If the participant elects to receive LMGA shares directly, the participant will remit to the Company a payment equivalent to the exercise price for the participant's options multiplied by the number of shares exercised. Liberty Media will issue shares directly to the participant equivalent to the number of shares exercised.

Unearned Stock Compensation

Pursuant to the Todd-AO Merger, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with an executive of Todd-AO. The consulting agreement provides for the grant of 150,000 options of LMGA stock that vest 50,000 per year over three years beginning June 9, 2000. The fair value of the stock options recorded as unearned stock compensation on the date of the Todd AO Merger was $2,858,000. The Company recorded $127,000 of stock compensation expense for the seven months ended December 31, 2000 based on the fluctuation in the stock price underlying the options and the unearned stock compensation balance was adjusted to $273,000 as of December 31, 2000.

8. COMMITMENTS

Operating Leases—Rent expense for noncancellable operating leases for real property and equipment was $13,950, $8,242 and $6,524 for the years ended December 31, 2000, August 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

9. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in litigation and similar claims incidental to the conduct of its business. In management's opinion, none of the pending actions is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

10. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Since the change in control of the Company pursuant to the Todd Merger in June 2000, the Company's business units have been aggregated into four reportable operating segments: Content Preparation, Content Management, Content Distribution and Europe. The Audio Services, Entertainment Television and Commercial Television Divisions, which make up the Content Preparation segment, provide the technical and creative services necessary to conform original film or video

principal photography into a final product suitable for the public. These are the more traditional post-production services such as creating music and sound effects, as well as visual effects. State-of-the-art facilities and equipment are used to digitally create or manipulate sounds and images in high-resolution formats for integration into feature films, television shows and television commercials. The Content Management segment primarily consists of the Library Services Division, which provides the formatting, archiving, storage and maintenance of master copies of original film and videotape. In addition, this segment restores damaged content, transfers and converts film to video (and vice versa), provides audio layback and standards conversion, and professional duplication. The segment facilitates the worldwide distribution of content in formats ranging from HDTV to streaming media. The Content Distribution segment consists of the Broadcast Services Division which provides the facilities and services necessary to assemble and distribute programming content for cable and broadcast networks via freight, fiber, satellite and the Internet to viewers in North America, Europe and Asia. These services principally include production, on-air promotion, language translation, assembly, origination and distribution, fiber transport, uplink and satellite transponder services and video equipment rentals. The Company maintains a separate segment and management structure for its European/United Kingdom ("UK") activities because of the size and scope of these operations. The various operations are grouped according to function and client base, and are tightly linked to the Company's other major operating segments. The Other column includes corporate related items and income and expenses not allocated to reportable segments. The Company's reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company's internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, including segment income (loss) before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization of intangibles.

Periods prior to June 2000 have been restated to conform to the current reportable operating segments.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is shown in following tables:

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the Todd Merger, Livewire and Liberty Media entered into the Liberty Subordinated Credit Agreement, which was amended and restated on December 22, 2000. The

agreement provides for aggregate credit commitments of at least $145 million and up to $213.6 million, subject to additional commitments under the Senior Credit Agreement with its institutional lenders and to the completion of proposed transactions as defined in the agreement. Funds are available at Livewire's option in whole or in part at any time during the 4-year period June 9, 2000 to June 9, 2004. The notes issued under the Liberty Agreement will be unsecured senior subordinated obligations, ranking junior to Livewire's Senior Credit Agreement with its institutional lenders. The convertible notes will bear interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears either in cash, shares of Livewire's Class B common stock or a combination thereof, subject to certain limits. To the extent interest is paid in shares of Class B common stock, such shares will be valued at 95% of the trailing ten day average closing price of the Class A common stock of Livewire on the interest payment date. The notes are convertible at the option of Liberty Media into shares of Livewire's Class B Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share.

The Company filed its own consolidated federal income tax return up to May 31, 2000. Commencing June 1, 2000, the Company is included in the consolidated tax return of AT&T and is party to a Tax Liability Allocation and Indemnification Agreement entered into with its parent, Liberty Media (the "Tax Sharing Agreement"). The Tax Sharing Agreement is now at the final stage of documentation but remains subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors.

The income tax provision for the Company is calculated based on a hypothetical tax liability determined as if the Company filed a separate tax return.

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company will record a current intercompany tax benefit from Liberty Media in periods when it generates taxable losses and such losses are utilized by Liberty Media to reduce its income tax liability. In periods when the Company generates taxable income, the Company will record current intercompany tax expense. Liberty Media will pay cash to the Company if the Company becomes disaffiliated for any reason from the combined group that files the joint return and when one of the following occurs: a tax refund is received by Liberty Media that is determined to relate to amounts paid by Livewire, or the Company has a tax liability under a separate return and had a net cumulative benefit for net operating losses or credits that were utilized by the Liberty Media Group to the extent of the separate return liability and which would not have expired at the time of the filing of the separate return. Additionally, if the Liberty Media Group does not own 20% of the voting power (loss of control) of Livewire, Liberty Media will pay Livewire an amount equal to the cumulative net tax benefit utilized by the Liberty Media Group that would not have expired at the time of loss of control.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 1, 2001, Livewire acquired substantially all the assets of the business unit known as "Group W Network Services" ("GWNS") from Viacom, Inc. and certain affiliates of Viacom, for $116.5 million in cash and assumed debt, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. Livewire financed the acquisition of Group W Network Services primarily with a loan under the Liberty Subordinated Credit Agreement and borrowings from Livewire's institutional lenders.

GWNS, with operations in Stamford, Connecticut, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Singapore, is a leading technical service provider in the broadcast industry, providing a wide array of program channel origination, studio production, post production, graphics and satellite transmission services to both domestic and international broadcasters. A recent addition to its product line is a package of Internet-based services that can be provided terrestrially through the Internet and/or via satellite, including streaming video, store and forward, and video-to-desktop multicasting.

On January 5, 2001, Livewire entered into an Ownership Interest Purchase Agreement with Livewire, ANS Acquisition Sub, Inc. ("ANS"), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Livewire, and Ascent Entertainment Group, Inc. ("AEG"). Liberty Media is the sole stockholder of AEG. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Ascent Network Services, a division of AEG, contributed all of its assets to

Livewire Network Services, LLC ("LNS"), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of AEG, ANS purchased a 1% ownership interest in LNS from AEG in exchange for $300,000 in cash, and ANS and AEG entered into the Operating Agreement of LNS (the "Operating Agreement").

Under the Operating Agreement, ANS is appointed as manager of LNS. The Operating Agreement also contains a put-call provision, pursuant to which ANS may elect to purchase from AEG, or AEG may elect to sell to ANS, at certain times during the 2001 calendar year, the remaining 99% of the ownership interests of LNS owned by AEG. The purchase price under the put-call will be payable in cash and will total $29.7 million plus an additional return on that amount accrued at the annual rate of 10% from the date of the purchase agreement to the date of acquisition of the 99% interest.

The existing collective bargaining agreement governing contracts and agreements with members of the Writers Guild of America is due to expire on April 30, 2001. Additionally, the existing collective bargaining agreement governing contracts and agreements with members of the Screen Actors Guild is set to expire on June 30, 2001. In the event that either or both of these collective bargaining agreements is allowed to expire and a strike or strikes occur, dependent upon the length of any such strike(s), such strike(s) could have a materially adverse effect on the operations, cash flows and financial position of the Company during 2001.
