of $3.00 plus accumulated and unpaid dividends and is entitled to
semi-annual dividends of $.12.

(1) Except as otherwise indicated, each named holder has, to the best
of the Company's knowledge, sole voting and investment power with
respect to the shares indicated.

director of HVCC and the sole director of HVAM. Mr. Werlin is
President and Treasurer of each of HVCC and HVAM. Peter J. Powers
became a director and an executive officer of HVCC during fiscal
year 1997. As a result of the foregoing relationships, it is
possible that the Partnership and the Fund could be deemed to
constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , in which case the Partnership and
the Fund would be deemed to beneficially own 1,348,234 shares of
Common Stock constituting beneficial ownership of 18.8% of the
Company's Common Stock. In addition, Ernest P. Werlin individually
owns a total of 113,556 shares of the Company's Common Stock (which

conversion of a $250,000 note due in 2003 and 25,000 shares
issuable upon exercise of $6.00 Warrants) and Mr. Powers
individually owns a total of 10,000 shares. Because of their
relationship to the Partnership and the Fund, HVCC, HVAM, Messrs.
Werlin and Powers could be deemed to have beneficial ownership of
the shares owned by such entities, or could be deemed to constitute
a group together with such entities. If Messrs. Werlin and Powers,
HVCC, HVAM and the Partnership and the Fund were deemed to
constitute a group, such a group would beneficially own an
aggregate of 1,471,790 shares of Common Stock constituting
beneficial ownership of 20.2% of the Company's Common Stock. Each
of the Partnership and the Fund, HVCC, HVAM and Messrs. Werlin and
Powers disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by any
other person or entity and disclaims membership in a group.

the Chairman of Strategic Growth International, Inc. ("Strategic
Growth") and owns 50% of its common stock. Mr. Cooper individually
owns 11,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Because of his
relationship to Strategic Growth he may be deemed to own, in
addition to such 11,000 shares, the shares beneficially owned by
Strategic Growth. Accordingly, he may be deemed to own 491,000
shares of Common Stock, constituting beneficial ownership of 7.6%
of the Company's Common Stock. Stanley Altschuler is the President
of Strategic Growth and owns 50% of its common stock. Mr.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Based upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5, and amendments thereto
furnished to the Company pursuant to Rule 16a-3(e) during, and with respect
to its most recent fiscal year, and written representations furnished to the
Company, it appears that all such reports required to be filed pursuant to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, were filed on
a timely basis, except for the following: Walter M. Craig, Jr., a director of
the Company, failed to timely report a transfer of 3,500 shares of the
Company's common stock effectuated in June 1996; Lawrence Bishop, a director
of the Company, failed to timely report the acquisition from the Company of
5,000 and 10,000 of the Company's Class B common stock purchase warrants in
January and May 1994, respectively; The High View Fund, L.P. (the
"Partnership"), which became the beneficial owner of more than ten percent of
the Company's common stock in October 1996, as well as The High View Fund
(the "Fund"), High View Capital Corporation ("HVCC"), High View Asset
Management Corporation ("HVAM") Ernest P. Werlin and Andrew M. Brown, who
because of their relationship to the Partnership at such time could have been
deemed to be part of a group owning more than ten percent of the Company's
common stock, failed to timely file an initial report on Form 3 reporting
their holdings in the Company's securities; and the Partnership and the Fund
each failed to timely report the purchase of 20,000 shares of the Company's
common stock effected by each of them in November 1996 [See "Security Ownership
of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" for a description of the

Each employment agreement provides for severance payments of two years of

end of its term.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In December 1993 the Company agreed to develop a joint venture for the
purpose of funding the acquisition by A Pix Entertainment of the distribution
rights to independently produced films. The initial investors were: Messrs.
Pearlman and Lawi, who are executive officers and directors of the Company;
a partnership of which Mr. Bishop, a director of the Company, is the general
partner (the "Bishop Partnership"); and an investor who is a customer of
Gray, Seifert & Co., Inc. ("Gray Seifert"), an investment advisory firm of
which Mr. Bishop is an Executive Vice President. In December 1993 and the
first and second quarters of 1994 Messrs. Pearlman and Lawi, the Bishop
Partnership and the customer of Gray Seifert invested $100,000, $50,000,
$150,000 and $50,000, respectively . In January 1996 and 1997, Mr. Pearlman
invested approximately another $53,000 and $47,600, respectively, and Mr.
Lawi invested approximately another $26,000 and $23,800, respectively.
Until formal agreements are signed the $500,400 is treated as demand loans.
The oral agreement with respect to the joint venture provides for the
following: (i) a term to be determined; (ii) the venture's recoupment of
110% of its investment in any one film from the first dollars of gross

receipts; (iii) the venture's receipt of up to 20% of the net profits of each
film in which it invests; (iv) roll-over of the venture's receipts into other
films; and (v) any shortfall of investment in a film to be paid in shares of
Common Stock of the Company issued at market or, if market is less than $2.85
a share, at the lower of $2.85 or 125% of market. The initial investments
were fully utilized to acquire film distribution rights. As of December 31,
1996, after giving effect to the reinvestment of all joint venture proceeds
from A Pix Entertainment films into additional films, the total amount of
the joint venture's investment in the Company, on an accrual basis, was
approximately $927,000. Messrs. Pearlman and Lawi , the Bishop Partnership
and the Gray Seifert customer received 10,500, 5,250, 15,750 and 5,250 Class
B Warrants, respectively, in connection with their investments.

From January through May 1994, the Company privately placed 735,820
shares of Preferred Stock A for approximately $2,207,000, at a price of $3.00
per share. Messrs. Pearlman, Lawi, Fox, Hanock and Baruc (all of whom are
executive officers or directors of the Company), purchased 44,999, 16,666,
16,666, 8,333 and 8,333 shares of Preferred Stock A, respectively, in the
private placement. Messrs. Fox, Hanock and Baruc acquired their shares by
delivering promissory notes providing for annual payments of principal,
maturing in five years and bearing interest at 9% per annum. The notes are
secured by a pledge of the purchased shares. Mr. Pearlman paid approximately
$75,000 in cash of the $134,997 purchase price for his shares and
approximately $60,000 by set-off against indebtedness of the Company owed to
him with respect to prior loans extended (during 1992 and 1993) to the
Company. In addition, investors who are customers of Gray Seifert purchased
an aggregate of approximately 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock A in such
private placement.

From December 1994 through the second quarter of 1995 the Company
received total proceeds of $3,025,000 from customers of Gray Seifert in a
private placement of units of Variable Rate Senior Subordinated Notes
("Variable Rate Notes") and Common Stock purchase warrants ("Private
Placement Warrants") . The purchase price of a unit was equal to the
principal amount of the note included therein. The Variable Rate Notes are
due on December 31, 2001 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum for the
first three years and at 3% over the prime rate for the remaining four years,
provided, however, that the rate does not fall below 8% or exceed 12% per
annum. Mandatory repayment of 10% of the original principal amount will
commence at the end of the 4th year, followed by 15% of the original amount
at the end of years 5 and 6. The Variable Rate Notes are subordinated to
indebtedness of the Company incurred to a bank or other financial
institution. For a limited period of time, after the third year of the term,
a noteholder will be permitted to convert up to 50% of his note into shares
of the Company's Common Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of
(i) the then average Market Price per share, as defined, over the last 60
trading days of 1997 or (ii) $2.86. The Company may redeem all or a portion
of the Variable Rate Notes at any time after December 31, 1997 at a premium
over the principal amount of the notes of 6%, which declines annually at the
rate of 2% until January 1, 2001, after which the redemption price will be
the principal amount of the notes. For each 10,000 of Variable Notes
acquired, each purchaser received 1,355 Private Placement Warrants. Each
such warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $3.70 per share and expires on December 31,
2001.

The holders of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to certain
registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

During 1995, 1996 and to date in 1997, management of Helm has provided
various administrative, managerial, financial, legal and accounting services
to the Company. The Company paid Helm $310,000 and $182,000 for such
services rendered in 1995 and 1996, respectively, and has paid Helm
approximately $46,000 for such services through June 30, 1997. The amount
paid was equal to Helm's direct out-of-pocket expenses of providing such
services.

In April 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock
purchase plan, which permitted certain of the Company's employees, officers,
directors and consultants (and to a limited extent members of their immediate
family) to purchase units ("Units") in a private placement. Each Unit
consisted of the following: (i) 1.05 shares of the Company's common stock,
$.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), (ii) 1.05 Common Stock purchase
warrants, each entitling the holder, at any time on or after August 1, 1996
(the "Initial Exercise Date"), to purchase one share of Common Stock at a
price of $19.05 per share and expiring on December 31, 2000 (a "$19.05
Warrant"), and (iii) 1.05 Common Stock purchase warrants, each entitling the
holder, at any time on or after the Initial Exercise Date, to purchase one
share of Common Stock at a price of $28.57 per share and also expiring on
December 31, 2000 (a "$28.57 Warrant") (collectively, the $19.05 Warrants and
the $28.57 Warrants are referred to as the "Warrants"). The Warrants are
redeemable by the Company (at a price of $.024 per Warrant) at any time after
the closing sales price of the Common Stock (as reported by the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) has been at least
125% of the then effective exercise price of the Warrants (currently $23.81
for the $19.05 Warrants and $35.71 for the $28.57 Warrants) for a period of
20 consecutive business days during a period that the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants have been registered for sale under the Securities
Act of 1933. The purchase price of each Unit was $4.00. Purchasers of Units
are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the securities
comprising the Units.

Pursuant to the plan, participants were permitted to acquire Units by
paying 5% of the total price upon purchase, and delivering a promissory note
(a "Note") for the remaining 95% of the price. Each Note provides for the
annual payment of 5% of the total purchase price, commencing in 1996, with a
balloon payment of the remaining unpaid principal amount of the Note (i.e.
50% of the total purchase price) payable on a specified date in 2005 (the
"Maturity Date"). Interest accrues on each Note at a rate of 6% per annum,
which is payable on the last day of each year throughout the term of the
Note, with all remaining accrued and unpaid interest due on the Maturity
Date. 95% of the Units that each participant acquired under the plan were
pledged to the Company as security for such participant's Note. Such Units
may be released to the participant as the Note is paid under certain
circumstances. Participants are permitted to make payments under their Notes
by delivering shares of Common Stock that they own, including pledged shares,
which are credited against amounts owed under their Notes at the fair market
value thereof.

Messrs. Pearlman, Fox, Lawi, Craig, Bishop, Baruc, Murphy, Low and Epps
purchased 73,333, 25,000, 11,667, 10,000, 25,000, 25,000, 12,500, 12,500 and
10,000 Units pursuant to such plan, respectively. Mr. Lawi's son and
daughter each purchased 12,500 Units.

In June 1995 the Company and A Pix Entertainment entered into a credit
facility (the "Atlantic Facility") with Atlantic Bank of New York (the
"Bank") providing for revolving loans totaling up to $2,500,000. Mr.
Pearlman and The Mezzanine Financial Fund, L.P. ("Mezzanine") were
contingently liable to pay outstanding amounts under the Atlantic Facility up
to $300,000 in the aggregate. Messrs. Pearlman and Lawi are officers,
directors and principal stockholders of the general partner of Mezzanine. In
addition, Messrs. Pearlman and Lawi are executive officers, directors and
principal stockholders of Helm Resources, Inc. ("Helm"), which owns
approximately 9% of the limited partnership interests of Mezzanine. Mr.
Craig is an officer and director of Helm. In consideration of its financial
accommodation, Mezzanine was entitled to receive 7,875 Class B Warrants for
every year that its accommodation was in effect and $500 per month during the
term of the accommodation and during which amounts were outstanding under the
Atlantic Facility. The Company and A Pix Entertainment were obligated to
repay any sums that Mezzanine was required to pay to the Bank, and in order
to secure this obligation, the Company and A Pix Entertainment granted
Mezzanine a security interest in substantially all of their assets, which was
subordinated to the Bank's security interest. In May 1997 the Company
replaced the Atlantic Facility with a new credit facility with Imperial Bank
(the "Imperial Facility"). Proceeds from the Imperial Facility were used to
repay the Atlantic Facility in full.

In September 1995 the Company extended an offer to its officers,
directors and certain consultants pursuant to which they could exercise any
of the Company's Class A Warrants then owned by them by borrowing the
exercise price of $3.14 per share from the Company . Outstanding amounts of
principal of such loans bear interest at 6.2% per annum. Payment of
principal and interest is due on December 31, 2000, or if earlier, on the
date the shares purchased upon exercise (the "Underlying Shares") are sold.
The loans are secured by a security interest in the Underlying Shares. In
the event of non-payment, the Company's recourse is limited to exercising its
rights with respect to such security interest. Messrs. Pearlman, Fox and
Lawi exercised, 102,780, 23,979 and 24,651 Class A Warrants, respectively,
pursuant to the Company's offer.

In May 1996, the Company sold a Unit of the Company's securities to an
IRA of Martin D. Payson, a director of the Company, in a private placement.
The Unit consisted of the following: a $250,000 principal amount 10%
Convertible Subordinated Note of the Company due 2003, which is convertible
into shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.50 per share; and twenty five
thousand $6.00 Warrants. Mr. Payson's IRA paid $237,500 for the Unit. Mr.
Payson became a director of the Company on June 25, 1996. In July 1996, the
Company sold a total of four Units to customers of Gray Seifert in the same
private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.

In August 1996 the Company effectuated the merger of A Pix Entertainment
with and into the Company under Delaware Law. Robert Baruc, the President of
A Pix Entertainment and an Executive Vice President and Director of the
Company, was the owner of 9.5% of the capital stock

of A Pix Entertainment and received 200,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock with respect to the merger. The valuation was based upon the recent
growth and profitability of A Pix Entertainment. The Company owned 90.5% of
the capital stock of A Pix Entertainment prior to the merger.

Also in June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Strategic
Growth, Inc. ("Strategic Growth"), an investor relations firm, pursuant to
which the Company retained Strategic Growth to provide investor relations
services to the Company. Strategic Growth is currently the beneficial owner
of over 5% of the Company's common stock, but did not own such percentage of
shares at the time the agreement was entered into. The term of the Agreement
was originally one year, commencing on June 4, 1996, which has subsequently
been extended for an additional two year period. In consideration of
Strategic Growth's services, the Company pays Strategic Growth a monthly
retainer of $8,000 . In addition, the Company granted Strategic Growth
300,000 common stock purchase options. Each option entitles the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $3.875, which was the market
price as of the date of the Agreement. The options have a term of five
years. The Company is also obligated to issue an additional 100,000 options
to Strategic Growth if all of the Company's Class B Warrants have been
exercised prior to June 3, 1998. If all the Class B Warrants are exercised
prior to such date, the 100,000 options will have the same term as the other
300,000 options. The shares issuable upon exercise of the options granted to
Strategic Growth will have certain registration rights.

The Class B Warrants currently have an exercise price of $4.28 per
share. In order for the Company to redeem the Class B Warrants, the closing
high bid price of the Common Stock on each of 20 consecutive trading days (or
such lesser number of days with the consent of the underwriter from the
Company's initial public offering, but not less than 10 consecutive trading
days) ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of
redemption is given must have been at least $5.71 per share.

During the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first and second quarters of
1997, the Company paid a total of $337,500 and issued an aggregate of 240,000
common stock purchase warrants, each having an exercise price of $4.50 per
share and expiring in December 2001, to Strategic Growth as a finder's fee
in connection with private placements of the Company's securities.
Securities that were sold consisted of units ("Units"), each priced at
$250,000 and comprised of : (i) a $250,000 principal amount 10% Convertible
Subordinated Note due in 2003 convertible into the Company's common stock at
a price of $4.50 per share; and (ii) twenty-five thousand $6.00 Warrants.

During the fourth quarter of 1996, The High View Fund, L.P. (the
"Partnership") purchased a total of eight Units and The High View Fund (the
"Fund") purchased a total of four Units , for an aggregate purchase price of
$3,000,000. As a result of such purchases, the Partnership and the Fund
became beneficial owners of over 5% of the Company's common stock. During
the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership purchased another two Units and
the Fund purchased another one Unit for an aggregate purchase price of
$750,000. The sole general partner of the Partnership is High View Capital
Corporation ("HVCC"). The investment manager of the Fund is High View Asset

Management Corporation ("HVAM"). The sole holder of voting stock of both
HVCC and HVAM is Ernest P. Werlin. Mr. Werlin is a director of HVCC and the
sole director of HVAM; he is also the President and Treasurer of both HVCC
and HVAM. Mr. Werlin purchased one Unit in January 1997 for a purchase price
of $250,000. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management."

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE
AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

The Board of Directors has voted to recommend that the stockholders
authorize amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 shares to
40,000,000 shares. The proposed amendment is set forth in Exhibit A. If the
amendment is approved, these shares may be issued from time to time by the
Board of Directors. It is not expected that further authorization from the
stockholders will be solicited for the issuance of any such shares of Common
Stock, except to the extent such authorization is required by law or by the
rules of the American Stock Exchange. Stockholders do not have preemptive
rights, and the proposed amendment would not create any preemptive rights.

The Board of Directors recommends that the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock be increased to 40,000,000 shares. The Company currently has
20,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized and, as of July 24, 1997, had
5,980,934 shares outstanding, 2,578,900 shares in the aggregate reserved for
issuance under the Company's stock option plans and other outstanding stock
options (which does not include the 275,000 additional shares that
stockholders are being requested to approve for issuance under the Company's
1993 Stock Option Plan), an additional 4,293,000 shares reserved for issuance
pursuant to the Common Stock purchase warrants, an additional 2,907,500
shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of convertible debentures and
530,765 shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Company's Series
A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, as of July 24, 1997, only
3,708,901 shares of Common Stock were authorized and not outstanding or
reserved for issuance.

The Company has no plans, understandings or negotiations underway at
this time for the issuance of any unissued and unreserved shares.
Nevertheless, the Board believes that it is desirable to have sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock available, as the occasion may arise, for
possible future financings and acquisitions transactions, stock dividends or
splits, stock issuances pursuant to employee benefit plans and other proper
corporate purposes and accordingly recommends the proposed increase. Having
such additional shares available for issuance in the future would give the
Company greater flexibility by allowing shares to be issued without incurring
the delay and expense of a special stockholder's meeting.

Although the Board has no present intention of doing so, shares of
unauthorized and unissued Common Stock could be issued in one or more
transactions that could have the effect of making a takeover of the Company
more difficult and deterring an offer for the Company at a substantial
premium over the current market price of the Company's Common Stock. The
amendment has not been proposed as an anti-takeover provision, and the
Company is not aware of any attempt by a third party to acquire control of
the Company.

The proposal to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting shares and a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voting separately as a
class.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO INCREASE
THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK.

AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S 1993 STOCK OPTION PLAN

In 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its
stockholders by helping the Company and its subsidiaries attract, retain,
motivate, and reward key employees and consultants, including officers and
directors of the Company.

Under the Plan, the Company may grant to eligible individuals stock
options to purchase the Company's Common Stock. Both non-qualified options
("Non-Qualified Options") and options intended to qualify as "Incentive"
stock options ("Qualified Options") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code") may be granted under the Plan (collectively, Non-Qualified
and Qualified Options are referred to as "Options"). Officers, directors,
and employees of, and consultants to, the Company (or a subsidiary thereof,
within the meaning of Section 424 (f) of the Code), are eligible to receive
Options under the Plan. The Company has approximately 70 employees, as well
as three non-employee directors. The Company also currently has two
consultants who would be considered for grants under the Plan.

The Plan is administered by either the Company's Board of Directors or
the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee").
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board or the Committee has the
authority to determine the individuals to whom Options are to be granted, the
time or times Options are to be granted, the number of shares to be covered
by each Option and the terms and provisions of each Option, including the
vesting thereof. An aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock is currently
reserved for issuance under the Plan.

Under the Plan, the exercise price of Options shall be no less than the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. However, at no
time may the exercise price of a Qualified Option granted to an individual (a
"Principal Stockholder") owning more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or
of a parent, be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock on the date of grant. Options may be granted for terms not
exceeding ten years from the date of grant, except for Qualified Options
which are granted to Principal Stockholders which may be granted for terms
not exceeding five years from the date of grant. No Qualified Options may be
granted after April 23, 2003.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, dividend (other than a cash dividend), stock split, reverse
stock split, or other change in corporate structure

affecting the Common Stock, such substitution or adjustment will be made in
the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and in
the number and exercise price of Shares subject to outstanding Options
granted under the Plan as may be determined to be appropriate in order to
prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

The grant of an option, whether it is a Qualified Option or a
Non-Qualified Option, has no tax effect on the Company or on the optionee.

An optionee will not realize taxable compensation income as a result of
the exercise of a Qualified Option if the optionee holds the shares acquired
until at least one year after exercise or, if later, until two years after
the date of grant of the option. The amount by which the fair market value
of the shares exceeds the option price at the time of exercise generally is
treated as an adjustment to income for purposes of the alternative minimum
tax. If an optionee acquires stock through the exercise of a Qualified
Option under the Plan and subsequently sells the stock after holding the
stock for the period described above, the excess of the sale price of the
stock over the option exercise price will be taxed as capital gain. The gain
will not be treated as compensation income except when the holding period
requirements discussed above are not satisfied. A Qualified Option does not
entitle the Company to an income tax deduction except to the extent that an
optionee realizes compensation income.

When an optionee exercises a Non-Qualified Option, the optionee will
realize taxable compensation income at that time equal to the excess of the
fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the option price.
An optionee will generally have a basis in stock acquired through the
exercise of a Non-Qualified Option under the Plan equal to the fair market
value of the stock on the date of exercise. If the optionee subsequently
sells the stock, the gain which is the difference between the sale price and
the basis will be taxed as long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on
the holding period of the stock. Any compensation income realized by an
optionee upon exercise of a Non-Qualified Option will be allowable to the
Company as a deduction at the time it is realized by the optionee.

The Company has granted Options to purchase a total of 506,225 shares of
Common Stock under the Plan at exercise prices ranging from $2.86 per share
to $5.00 per share. Of such options: Options to purchase 52,500 shares at
an exercise price of $2.86 per share and expiring in August 2003 were granted
to Robert Baruc, a Director and an Executive Vice President of the Company;
Options to purchase 95,250 shares of Common Stock were granted to Robert
Miller, a Vice President of the Company and Executive Vice President of the
North American Division, 78,750 of which have an exercise price of $4.29 per
share and expire on June 30, 2001 and 16,500 of which have an exercise price
of $4.44 per share and expire on March 11, 2002; Options to purchase 50,000
shares of Common Stock were granted to Martin D. Payson, a Director of the
Company, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and expiring on June 5,
2006; Options to purchase a total of 35,000 shares of Common Stock were
granted to Timothy Smith, a Vice President of the Company and Executive Vice
President of Production of the North American Division, 25,000 of which have
an exercise price of $4.00 per share and expire in June

2001 and 10,000 of which have an exercise price of $4.50 per share and expire
in June 2002; Options to purchase 53,050 shares of Common Stock were granted
to other executive officers of the Company, of which 26,250 have an exercise
price of $2.86 per share and expire on June 30, 1999 ("June 1999 Options"),
Options to purchase 15,750 shares have an exercise price of $2.86 per share
and expire in 2003 and 2004, 1,050 Options have an exercise price of $5.00
per share and expire on December 31, 2000 ("December 2000 Options"), and
Options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock have an exercise price of
$4.56 per share and expire in February 2002; Options to purchase 50,000
shares of Common Stock were granted to Bruce H. Lucker, Executive Vice
President of the Company's Unapix/Miramar division, all of which have an
exercise price of $4.50 per share and expire in June 2007; and Options to
purchase a total of 170,425 shares of Common Stock were granted to other
employees of the Company, 133,125 of which were June 1999 Options, 13,125 of
which were Options which have an exercise price of $3.93 per share and expire
on December 31, 1999, 11,550 of which were December 2000 Options, 10,000 of
which have an exercise price of $4.375 per share and expire on March 16, 2007
and 2,625 of which have an exercise price of $3.81 per share and expire on
September 30, 1997.

Currently, all of Messrs. Baruc's and Miller's and 33,332 and 18,334 of
Messrs. Payson's and Smith's Options, respectively, are exercisable. All of
the Options held by the other executive officers of the Company are currently
exercisable. None of Mr. Lucker's options are currently exercisable, and
such options will not be exercisable until January 2007 unless certain
earnings thresholds are achieved during 1998 and 1999. 160,425 of the
Options held by other employees are also currently exercisable.

Of the total Options to purchase 506,225 shares of Common Stock that
were granted under the Plan, Options to purchase a total of 80,625 shares
have been exercised to date.

The closing sales price of the Company's Common Stock, as reported by
the American Stock Exchange, on August 5, 1997, was $4.875.

The Board of Directors has adopted an amendment to the Plan, subject to
stockholder approval at the meeting, increasing the number of shares
authorized to be issued upon exercise of Options granted under the Plan from
600,000 to 875,000 shares.

The approval of the proposal to amend the Plan requires the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred
Stock A, voting together as a single class, present in person or represented
by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS ADOPTION, APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF
THE AMENDMENT BY THE STOCKHOLDERS AT THE MEETING.

VOTING ON THE PROPOSALS

With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or
withheld; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and
will have no effect. With respect to the proposal to amend the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and the proposal to amend the Plan, abstentions
may be specified and will be counted as present for purposes of the item on
which the abstention is noted. Accordingly, since the amendment to the Plan
requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting shares, present
in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote, and
the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation requires a majority of the
outstanding voting shares (and a majority of the outstanding shares of common
stock voting separately), abstentions will have the effect of a negative
vote. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence
or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business, but they are not
counted for purposes of determining whether the proposal has been approved.

PROPOSALS BY STOCKHOLDERS

Proposals that stockholders wish to include in the Company's proxy
statement and form of proxy for presentation at the next Annual Meeting of
Shareholders must be received by the Company at 200 Madison Avenue, New York,
New York 10016, Attention David S. Lawi, prior to June 7, 1998.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has selected Richard A. Eisner & Company, LLP
("Richard Eisner & Co.") as independent auditors for the Company for the year
ending December 31, 1997. Richard Eisner & Co. have served as independent
auditors for the Company since 1994. The Company has been advised that
representatives of Richard Eisner & Co. will attend the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to
do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that are to be brought
before the meeting. However, if any other matters do come before the meeting,
the persons named on the enclosed form of proxy or their substitutes will
vote in accordance with their judgement on those matters.

The cost of solicitation of proxies, including expenses in connection
with preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement, will be borne by
the Company. The solicitation will be made by mail and may also be made by
officers or regular employees of the Company personally or by telephone or
telegram, or by professional proxy solicitors acting on behalf of the
Company. The Company may reimburse brokers, custodians and nominees for their
expenses in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners.

EXHIBIT A

If the proposal to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock is
approved, paragraph Fourth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation will

ANNEX A

UNAPIX ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

1993 Stock Option Plan

SECTION 1. Purpose; Definitions.

1.1 PURPOSE. The purpose of the Unapix Entertainment, Inc. (the
"Company") 1993 Stock 0ption Plan (the "Plan") is to enable the Company to offer
its key employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present
and/or potential contributions to the Company have been, are or will be
important to the success of the Company, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary
interest in the Company.

1.2 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of the Plan, the following terms shall

and other amounts payable with respect to an award hereunder shall be deferred
which may be either automatic or at the election of the Holder; and

administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall,

optioned cease to be subject to a Stock Option granted hereunder are forfeited
or any such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the
Holder in the form of Stock, such shares shall again be available for
distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the Plan. Only
net shares issued upon a stock-for-stock exercise (including stock used for
withholding taxes) shall be counted against the number of shares available under
the Plan.

3.2 ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, ETC. In the event of
any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend (other

SECTION 5. Stock Options.

5.1. GRANT AND EXERCISE. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be

Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not
inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the
Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have
the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or
both types of Stock Options and may be granted alone or in addition to other
awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock Option intended to
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a
separate Non-Qualified Stock option. An Incentive Stock Option may only be
granted within the ten year period commencing From the Effective Date and may
only be exercised within ten years of the date of grant (or five years in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee ("10% Stockholder")
who, at the time of grant, owns Stock possessing more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a Parent or
Subsidiary.

5.2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock
purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the
time of grant and may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock at
the time of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive
Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock
at the time of grant (110%, in the case of 10% Holder) .

(b) Option Term. Subject to the limitations contained in
Section 5.1, the term of each Stock option shall be fixed by the Committee.

(c) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such
time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by
the Committee. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock
Option is exercisable only in installments, i.e., that it vests over time, the
Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after
the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee
shall determine.

(d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment,
exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case,
Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term
of the Option, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying
the number of shares of Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied
by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, unless
otherwise

provided in the Agreement, in shares of Stock or, partly in cash and partly in
such Stock, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent
with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. Cash payments shall be made by wire
transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the
order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to deliver certificates for shares of Stock with respect to which an Option is
exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available
funds in payment of the purchase price thereof. Payments in the f form of Stock
shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date prior
to the date of exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of stock
certificates in negotiable form which are effective to transfer good and valid
title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. A Holder shall
have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to
the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the
exercise of the Option.

(e) Transferability. No Stock Option shall be transferable by
the Holder, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only
by the Holder; provided however that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Committee may in its sole discretion allow a Non-Incentive
Stock Option to be transferred to a Family Group Member.

(f) Termination by Reason of Death. If a Holder's employment by
the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held
by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of
grant and set forth in the Agreement, shall be fully vested and may thereafter
be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the
Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other
greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of
such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option,
whichever period is the shorter.

(g) Termination by Reason of Disability. If a Holder's
employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability,
any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the Agreement, shall be fully
vested and may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year
(or such other lesser period as the Committee may specify at the time of grant)
from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the
stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter.

(h) Other Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 8
below and unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant and
set forth in the Agreement, if a Holder is an employee of the Company or a
Subsidiary at the time of grant and if such are Holder's employment by the
Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death or
Disability, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except
that if the Holder's employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary
without cause or due to Normal Retirement, then the portion of such Stock Option
which has vested on the date of the termination of employment may be exercised
for the lesser of three months after termination of

employment or the balance of such Stock Option's term.

(i) Additional Incentive Stock Option Limitation. In the case
of an Incentive Stock Option, the amount of aggregate Fair Market Value of Stock
(determined at the time of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar
year (under all such plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiary) shall
not exceed $100,000.

(j) Buyout and Settlement Provisions. The Committee may at any
time offer to buy out a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms
and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at
the time that such offer is made.

(k) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of a Stock Option shall
be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Agreement executed by
the Company and the Holder.

(l) Holding Period. All shares of Stock received by a Holder
upon exercise of an Option granted hereunder shall be non-transferable by the
Holder until at least six months has elapsed from the date of the granting of
such Option.

SECTION 6. Amendments and Termination.

discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance
shall be made which would impair the rights of a Holder under any Agreement
theretofore entered into hereunder, without his consent.
