                              FOUR MEDIA COMPANY

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Business, Organization and Basis of Presentation

     Four Media Company (the "Company") is a provider of technical and creative
services to owners, producers and distributors of television programming,
feature films and other entertainment content. The Company's services integrate
and apply a variety of systems and processes to enhance the creation and
distribution of entertainment content.

     While the Company believes that it operates in one business segment, which
is providing services to the entertainment industry, the Company has organized
its activities into four divisions: manufacturing and distribution, broadcast
and syndication, television, and film and animation services. The manufacturing
and distribution division, located in Burbank, Universal City, and San
Francisco, California, manages, formats and distributes content worldwide. The
broadcast and syndication division, located in Burbank and the Republic of
Singapore, assembles and distributes television programming via satellite to
viewers in the United States, Canada and Asia. The television division, located
in Burbank, Hollywood, Universal City, Santa Monica, and San Francisco,
California, assembles film or video principal photography into a form suitable
for network, syndicated, cable or foreign television. The film and animation
division, located in Santa Monica, digitally creates and manipulates images in
high-resolution formats for use in feature films.

     Organization. On February 2, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding
shares of capital stock of Visualize d/b/a Pacific Ocean Post ("POP").  The
purchase price of the transaction was $30.1 million, of which $25.4 million was
paid in cash, $1.2 million was represented by promissory notes, and $3.5 million
represented transaction costs.

     On May 4, 1998, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary VSDD
Acquisition Corp., acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests in
Symphonic Video LLC and Digital Doctors LLC from their parent companies Video
Symphony, Inc. and Digital Doctors, Inc. (collectively "VSI").  In this
transaction, the Company effectively acquired all of the operations of VSI.  The
purchase price of the transaction was $3.3 million, of which $3.1 million was
paid in the Company's common stock and $0.2 million represented transaction
costs.

     On September 18, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of
capital stock of MSCL, Inc. ("Encore") and the real estate occupied by Encore.
The purchase price of the transaction was approximately $46.0 million.  This
amount includes $41.9 million paid in cash to the Encore shareholders (including
$11.2 million for the purchase of real estate), $2.0 million in estimated
transaction costs, and the issuance of 486,486 shares of Company common stock
valued at $4.38 per share.

     The following unaudited pro forma summary combines the consolidated results
of operations of the Company, POP, VSI and Encore as if the acquisitions had
occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1998 after giving effect to certain
adjustments, including amortization of goodwill, revised depreciation based on
estimated fair market values, utilization of net operating losses, revised
interest expense based on the terms of the acquisition debt and elimination of
certain acquisition related costs.  The pro forma summary does not necessarily
reflect the results of operations as they would have been if the Company and
POP, VSI and Encore had constituted a single entity during such periods (in
thousands):

                              FOUR MEDIA COMPANY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Business, Organization and Basis of Presentation (continued)


     Basis of Presentation.   The accompanying consolidated financial statements
of Four Media Company and its subsidiaries as of August 2, 1998 and January 31,
1999 and for the six and three month periods ended February 1, 1998 and January
31, 1999 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. The balance sheet at August 2, 1998 was derived from audited financial
statements included in the Company's Form 10-K.  The financial statements at
January 31, 1999 and for the six and three month periods ended February 1, 1998
and January 31, 1999 have not been audited by independent accountants, but
include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are,
in management's opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods.  However,
these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim
period or for the full year.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management believes that the disclosures included in the accompanying interim
financial statements and footnotes are adequate to make the information not
misleading, but should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K.

     The accompanying financial statements as of August 2, 1998 and for the six
and three months ended February 1, 1998 and January 31, 1999 are presented on a
consolidated basis and include the accounts of Four Media Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries 4MC-Burbank, Inc., Digital Magic Company, Four Media Company
Asia PTE Ltd, Anderson Video Company, Co3, Visualize (dba POP), POP Animation,
VSDD Acquisition Corp. and MSCL, Inc. (dba Encore). All material inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

4.   Definitive Agreement with Warburg, Pincus Equity Partners, L.P.

     In January 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Warburg,
Pincus Equity Partners, L.P. and certain affiliates ("Warburg, Pincus") in which
Warburg, Pincus will acquire 10.2 million shares of the Company's common stock,
comprised of both newly issued shares and existing shares, for approximately
$80.0 million.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Warburg, Pincus will acquire 3.1 million of
the outstanding shares currently held by Technical Services Partners, L.P.,
("TSP"), a limited partnership controlled by Steinhardt Management Company,
Inc., for approximately $23.4 million.  In addition, Warburg, Pincus will
acquire approximately 6.6 million common shares from the Company for $52.7
million and will receive a warrant to purchase 1.1 million shares with an
exercise price of $15.00 per share.  An additional 498,000 shares will be
purchased for approximately $4.0 million from the Company's founders, who have
agreed to enter into new long-term employment contracts and who will continue to
have a significant equity interest in the Company.  Concurrently with the
closing of the transaction, the holder of all outstanding shares of the
Company's preferred stock has agreed to convert all of its preferred shares into
2,250,000 shares of common stock.

     Proceeds from the new equity investment will be used to enhance the
Company's ability to serve and support customers in the process of creating and
distributing entertainment programming and to continue to make strategic
acquisitions. The transaction is subject to shareholder, regulatory, and bank
approval, and is expected to be completed during the third quarter of fiscal
1999.
