I have determined the Fair Market Value at sale of MC's primary asset, namely
its stock film and video library. (Attachment A) I believe that I have
completed a fair and independent valuation of the library with a high degree
of confidence in its validity and accuracy.
As of February 1, 1996, the Fair Market Value is $16,000,000.
Due to the volume of footage involved and the constraints of conducting a
timely audit and valuation, I had to rely upon the inventories and information
provided by MC. Although I cannot warrant or guarantee their information, I
personally conducted a more than adequate random sampling of the inventory,
etc. and to the best of my ability and knowledge, the film and video library
owned by Media Classics is valid and that the Fair Market Value is accurate.
Conservatively, Media Classics' stock footage library contains:
16mm film 2,000,000 feet
35mm film 500,000 feet
Translated into viewing (projection time in minutes) is necessary to illustrate
the total value, as stock footage is priced using an industry standard (low)
$30.00 a second. The 16mm film is converted to equivalent 35mm footage by
using a mathematical factor of 2.5:
2.5 2,000,000 of 5,000,000 feet
The conversion to projection time is accomplished by dividing the footage
by 100 (technically 90 feet per minute). For ease of calculation I am using
100 feet per minute. Thereby reducing actual footage by 10%. Thus the total
projection/viewing time is:
Page Two
16mm film footage 50,000 minutes
35mm film footage 5,000 minutes
-------
Total 55,000 minutes
Film footage is actually priced on the seconds of film required. The library's
total projection time is:
55,000 x 60 = 3,300,000 seconds
If the above industry standard (low) price of $30 per second is used, a very
conservative estimate of the value of the Media Classics library is :
3,300,000 seconds x $30 per second = $99,000,000
If Media Classics were to merely license a 2.5% of the above total libary
value, the total library potential income is valued at :
$99,000,000 x .025 = $2,475,000
or $24,750,000 over a ten year period.

BACKGROUND
The importance/value and historical significance of STOCK FILM FOOTAGE
HOUSES is more than adequately described in the DAILY NEWS article on stock
footage libraries. (Attached) There is no point in futher elaboration in that
regard, other than to perhaps point out one or two guidelines which may help
clarify points in this appraisal.
1- It should be noted that MEDIA CLASSICS' stock footage film library is on
film, NOT video. Video libraries are only good for a few years and unless
they are re-duplicated (automatically imposing a generation loss in the duping)
the quality of the image is soon useless. Not so with film. With proper
storage, the life of the new safety films should be nearly indefinite.
2- While many products/properties depreciate in value each year, MEDIA
CLASSICS' stock film footage library will increase year after year as
historical events slip further into the past.
3- It is difficult to ascertain the value of certain film footage. While
there is a common industry value of from $30 to $50 per second, some of the
MEDIA CLASSICS footage would not necessarily license for that value. However,
some of the Robert F. Kennedy assassination footage has been bid at $400 per
second and footage of Japanese submarines entering Pearl Harbor - Dec.7, 1941-
through the anti-submarine netting will license for $125 per second. It is
obvious, therefore, that an acceptable average-value be applied to calculate
the total assets of the library.
VALUE
I have personally spot-checked the MEDIA CLASSICS stock footage film
library. Before judging too quickly the idea of only 'spot-checking', one
must realize that to view the components of the entire libary....it would
require a full-time employee sixty weeks, eight hours a day, with no vacations,
nonstop, no breaks to load the reels, et cetera. In addition to having
personally examined the film storage areas, I have previewed hundreds of
hours of stock footage with the hope of being able to license some of it
for my own productions. I have, in fact, in my possession several thousand
feet of MEDIA CLASSICS footage which I am presently previewing.
Before going into the details of the size and scope of the MEDIA CLASSICS
stock footage film libaray, let me illustrate the enormous potential we are
dealing with, using a very conservative example.
Using an industry standard of (low) $30 a second...a library of only 10,000
feet of 35mm film would have a potential licensing value of $180,000 if all of
it could be licensed only one time a year. (1,000 feet for every ten minutes
of 35mm projection time calculates-out at 100 minutes x 60 seconds = 6,000
seconds, at $30 a second = $180,000)
SCOPE
MEDIA CLASSICS is among the largest wholly owned stock footage libraries
in the country. In contrast to MEDIA CLASSICS owning their entire library,
many of the large and most successful stock footage libraries simply have
arrangements with the major motion picture studios to license the use of studio
footage, actually owning only small percentages of all the film they license
over the course of any given year.
Conservatively, MEDIA CLASSICS' stock footage library contains:
16mm film 5,000,000 feet
35mm film 2,000,000 feet
Translated into viewing/projection time (in minutes) is necessary to illustrate
the total value, as stock footage is priced on the basis of time. The 16mm
film is converted to equivalent 35mm footage by utilizing a mathematical
factor of 2.5:
2.5 x 5,000,000 or 12,500,000 feet
The conversion to projection time is accomplished by dividing the footage by
100 (technically 90 ft. per minute. For ease of calculation I am using 100
ft. per min. thereby reducing the actual footage by 10%. Thus, the total
projection/viewing time is:
16mm film footage 125,000 minutes
35mm film footage +20,000 minutes
-------
Total 145,000 minutes
Film footage is actually priced on the seconds of film required. The librarys'
total projection time in seconds is:
145,000 minutes
x 60 seconds
-------
Total 8,700,000 seconds
If the above industry standard (low) price of $30 per second is used, a very
conservative estimate of the value of the MEDIA CLASSICS library is:
8,700,000 seconds
x $30 per second
----------------
Total $261,000,000
If MEDIA CLASSICS were to merely license 2.5% of the above total library value,
the annual total library potential income is valued:
$261,000,000
x .025
------------
$6,525,000
or $65,250,000 over a ten year period.
SUMMARY
With Atlantic Bell's recent announcement of a merger wiht VIACOM and all the
evidence that there will soon be hundreds of TV channels to choose from...
there is one obvious question resounding above all the others...WHAT IS GOING
TO BE USED TO FILL ALL THE PROGRAMMING SLOTS...24 HOURS A DAY, 52 WEEKS A
YEAR?
It is estimated that if all the programming available - not already owned or
controlled by the studios or networks - were compiled, it would only fill
approximately 30 days of actual programming time when the dozens of new
channels go on line in a year or two.
In the years to come, TV and film producers - myself included - are going to
rely more and more on stock film footage libraries to reduce production costs
and to expedite production schedules. I can, with complete confidence state
that with proper management and ordinary advertising effort, MEDIA CLASSICS is
in a position to safely realize 0.5% of its potential licensing library.
While I cannot guarantee MEDIA CLASSICS sales, I can state that I personally
spot-checked their inventory and to the best of my knowledge, the estimate
of footage owned and controlled by MEDIA CLASSICS, INC. is true. (Inventory

BIO
EWING M. BROWN
Ewing M. Brow has acted - through the course of seven decades - for every
major studio in Hollywood. From a child star, in the OUR GANG comedies at
Hal Roach Studios, playing the mean little rich kid, to his favorite role as
Charlie Ryker in SHANE for George Stevens, Brown has been in an enviable
position as an insider to observe the Hollywood scene for 60 years.
Brown established himself in the production side of film-making in the early
50's as head editor for Emperor Films, then on to Robert L. Lippert Studios
to take on editorial and production responsibilities. In 1957, he formed his
own company to handle the production and post production on KINGDOM OF THE
SEA and DIVORCE HEARING.
In a city where most companies rise and fall in the space of a few years, his
thirty-five year old company is something of a rarity. It's no wonder he
goes by his nickname, LUCKY BROWN. Movie Tech Studio is not only going strong,
but in 1976, Brown purchased his own property and built the first complete
production studio to be erected from the ground up since World War II. MOVIE
TECH STUDIOS has complete facilities and equipment to handle every part of
film production from script, to answer print (except for the lab), with a crew
on hand and ready to go.
Today, as President and Owner of MOVIE TECH STUDIOS, INC. Brown is fully
involved behind the cameras, having been employed in almost every capacity from
film editor and cameraman to director and producer. The walls at Movie Tech
display awards for his films from all over the world.
One film of his, THE BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE, was the highest grossing film
of the week in the city of Los Angeles. LOVE IN COLD BLOOD has been added
to the Paramount distribution schedule for cable release, and Brown's
WHALE OF A TALE, starring William Shatner and Abby Dalton has been distributed
worldwide and is currently going into cable release. The MR. TOO LITTLE
feature is now in cable release.
Mr. Brown also produced a MARCO POLO, the highest grossing picture in the
Phillipines of its time, in addition to successful release of the THE KILLERS.
Mr. Brown recently produced and directed LIFE OF QUEEN VICTORIA for PBS
television.
When second unit filming is needed by the top motion picture and televison
companies in Hollywood, they call on MOVIE TECH STUDIOS and Ewing M. Brown,
knowing the quality and integrity of their production will be maintained.
In the past few years, those companies have included MTM PRODUCTIONS for
two of their top shows, HILL STREET BLUES AND ST. ELSEWHARE. Last season's
shows included POLICE SQUAD for Paramount, CASSIE AND COMPANY for NBC and
GREATEST AMERICAN HERO.
Feature films - second unit work - have included FRIDAY 13th PART II; DEAD
MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID; FIRST MONDAY IN OCTOBER working with Sir Ronald Neame,
and SOUP FOR TWO for Warner Brothers. The most recent films include ARMED
RESPONSE and CYCLONE for Cinetel and THE TOMB and PRISON SHIP for Transworld.
In addition to his extensive acting and producing experiences, Brown has
been called upon by banks and the Internal Revenue Service to provide
appraisals of both motion picture film and motion picture memorabilia.
With over thirty five years in motion picture production and another thirty
as an actor, few individuals in Hollywood are more qualified to verify
audits or conduct appraisals relating to bank or IRS verification of claims,
or seizures.
