DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS General Out-Takes, Inc., a corporation incorporated in Delaware on March 18, 1992 ("the Company"), is engaged in the sale of photographic portraits of children, adults and family groups. The Company currently operates and derives substantially all of its revenues from two retail studios, called Out-Takes(R), the first of which opened on May 24, 1993 and is located in MCA/ Universal's CityWalkSM project in Los Angeles, California ("the CityWalk Studio"). The second studio commenced operations, on December 1, 1995, at the Entertainment Center in the Bazaar at the Irvine Spectrum located in Irvine, Orange County, California ("the Irvine Studio"). The studios employ proprietary hardware and software developed by, or specifically for, the Company which includes digital imaging technology and automated motion control equipment to position the studio camera and set subject lighting to the proper levels for each scene (collectively, the "Proprietary System"). Using the Proprietary System, the Company is able to place pictures it takes of its clients "into" still photographs prepared in advance from popular movie scenes and other backgrounds licensed by the Company. Products and Services The technological capabilities of the Proprietary System and the variety of backgrounds that the Company has developed pursuant to various merchandise licenses in effect (see "- License Agreements") represent a distinction in the consumer portraiture business. Most of the portraits taken in the CityWalk Studio and the Irvine Studio are presented to the customer as framed 8" x 10", 5" x 7" and wallet-sized photographs within about thirty minutes after the portrait session is completed. The remainder (primarily enlargements and greeting cards based on these photographic images) are produced and delivered to clients within several weeks using the Company's order fulfillment capabilities as well as processing arranged through independent service bureaus. License Agreements The Company has merchandise licensing agreements with Paramount Pictures Corporation ("Para mount"); MCA/Universal Merchandising, Inc. ("Universal"); Warner Bros. Consumer Products - formerly Turner Home Entertainment, Inc. ("Warner") with respect to several properties from the Hanna-Barbera and MGM libraries; Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising ("Fox"); Jay P. Morgan Photography ("Morgan"); Tony Stone Worldwide Stock Agency ("TSW"), Queen Bee Productions ("Queen Bee"), Simon Kornblit ("Kornblit"), Curtis Archives ("Curtis A"), Curtis Management ("Curtis M"), King Features ("King"), MTV Networks ("MTV"), Saban Merchandising Inc. ("Saban"), Innerspace Visions ("Visions") and others, individually and collectively referred to as the "License Agreements" (Paramount, Universal, Turner, Fox, Morgan, TSW, Queen Bee, Kornblit, Curtis A, Curtis M, King, MTV, Saban and Visions are individually and collectively referred to herein as "Licensors"). The License Agreements generally grant the Company the right to manufacture, sell and distribute in a defined geographic area, computer generated photographs incorporating a customer's image into a still photograph ("Licensed Products") with the characters, designs and/or visual representations ("Licensed Articles") as they appear in television productions and motion pictures. The Licensed Products may be sold separately or affixed to items approved by the Licensor, including photographic enlargements, greeting cards, posters, books, t-shirts, mugs, buttons and other novelty items, in consideration of payment to the Licensor of a specified royalty based on a percentage of gross retail sales revenue from each of the Licensed Products. Many of the License Agreements require a non-refundable advance payment against future royalties and stipulate a guaranteed minimum level of royalties that must be paid during each year of their term. The License Agreements also provide that the Licensor retains approval rights over the use of the Licensed Articles. A summary of the License Agreements and the Titles/Properties available thereunder is presented in the table on the following page. 1 Licensor Selected Titles/Properties Territory and Usage Paramount Pictures Corporatation Current titles in use: Territory:Worldwide.

Rangers 2 No single License Agreement represents greater than 20% of the Company's aggregate sales revenues. The Company is materially dependent upon the License Agreements with Paramount, Universal, Warner, Fox and Morgan, and the appeal of Licensed Articles from these Licensors in the retail marketplace. Three of these License Agreements each represents approximately 10% of the Company's revenues. Although the Company has not commenced to market all Licensed Articles on a timely basis, as of June 10, 1997, the Company has not received any notice that any Licensor intends, by virtue of this matter, to exercise any of the remedies provided for in its respective License Agreements. The Company is current with respect to all payments and required reports to all Licensors and believes that its relationship with all Licensors is satisfactory. On March 1, 1995, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with Photo Corporation of Australia Pty Limited ("PCA"), a subsidiary of Photo Corporation Group Pty. Ltd. ("PCG"), that, subject to the prior approval of the Licensors, grants PCA a non-exclusive license to utilize the Licensed Articles on substantially the same terms as provided in the License Agreements. The sublicense also provides that PCA will pay the Company an amount equal to 120% of the royalties the Company pays to Licensors for such images. The Company has received consent from Morgan, Fox and Paramount and other Licensors have indicated their willingness to support utilization of the licensed Articles in countries where PCA operates. The Company has not yet become entitled to receive any royalties from PCA. Patents, Service Marks, Copyrights and Other Proprietary Technology The Company has registered the marks Out-Takes(R), So You Want to be in Pictures(R), Photomation(R) and Create the Moment(R) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and has registered the Out-Takes(R) service mark in Japan, in both Japanese and English. The Company has filed a document (the "Disclosure Document") with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office concerning aspects of its technology that it considers may be patentable. The Company has also filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office seeking patent protection for certain aspects of the Company's technology described in the Disclosure Document and has supplemented this with a "Continuation in Part" filing, which is presently pending. While the issue of the patent would provide an advantage to the Company, it is not material to the value of the Company or its ongoing viability. The Company actively manages the protection of its trademarks, know-how, trade secrets and other intellectual property by requiring all its employees and those contractors where applicable, to execute confidentiality agreements in relation to the Company's intellectual property. The Company is not aware of any instance where there has been a breach of such confidentiality obligations. Competition and Seasonality Competition in the traditional portrait photography industry, the merchandise licensing business and with respect to the development of new technology is intense. The Company enjoys limited protection from competition at its CityWalk Studio because of a restriction contained in its lease which states that during the initial lease term (which runs through May 31, 1998), the landlord will not lease to third parties nor operate for its own account a retail store engaged in selling computer-generated photographs similar to those produced and sold by the Company. Such a restriction does not apply to the lease of premises at the Irvine Spectrum, however, it is considered unlikely that a competitive business will be opened at the Irvine Spectrum. The Company has identified three potential kinds of competition - traditional photographers who are likely to compete for retail customers as well as future locations; photographers who employ digital technologies who are likely to compete for retail customers, future locations and merchandise licensing agreements; and new technologies which may render the Proprietary System obsolete or require the Company to incur a substantial expense in order to remain competitive in terms of product quality, selection, pricing and customer service. Many of the firms with which the Company competes, or can reasonably be anticipated to compete in the future, have far greater financial resources, experience and industry relationships than the Company. In addition, such organizations have proven operating histories, which may afford these firms significant advantages in negotiating and obtaining future merchandise licenses and retail leases, arranging financing, attracting skilled personnel and developing technology and products. Many of these firms offer their products at substantially lower prices than the Company sells its products. The Company believes that its portrait photography products are competitive in terms of product quality, service quality and the selection and attractiveness of the Licensed Products. 3 The professional photography business is seasonal, with the largest volume of sales generally occurring in the Company's third fiscal quarter during the period preceding the Christmas season. The CityWalk location is one of the major tourist attractions in Southern California and therefore is also highly seasonal, with its largest number of visits occurring in the Company's second and third fiscal quarters, particularly between July 4th and Labor Day. Although the revenue stream at the Irvine Studio is not as seasonal as the CityWalk Studio, the third fiscal quarter generates the highest level of revenue, as a result of greeting card sales and the seasonal gift giving of portraits. Employees As of March 31, 1997, the Company had 34 employees, 25 of whom were part-time. The Company's full time employees include a Retail Operations Manager, responsible for the overall performance of the Studios, a Financial Controller handling primarily administrative and accounting responsibilities and two persons coordinating image production and technical support activities. All of the remaining persons were employed in retail operations at the CityWalk Studio (17 employees) and the Irvine Studio (13 employees). Between March 31, 1997 and June 10, 1997, the Company reduced the image production and technical support function from two persons to one person and reduced the number of part-time personnel employed in its retail operations by 1 person, such that as of June 10, 1997, the Company had a total of 32 employees. In addition to the above personnel, the Company also engages the services of independent consultants and third-party contractors from time to time and continues to rely heavily on the personnel and outside support of PCA pursuant to the terms of a Personnel Consulting Agreement entered into and approved by the Company's stockholders on June 28, 1995. Management believes that the amount charged by PCG for management fees during the year ended March 31, 1997 represents the reasonable costs of the services provided by PCG to the Company. None of the Company's employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. All employees have executed employment and confidentiality agreements with the Company. The Company considers its labor relations to be good. Research & Development, Regulations and Suppliers Between inception and December 31, 1994, the Company incurred $6,990,000 of losses during the development stage where it devoted substantially all of its efforts to designing and building the Proprietary System, including writing four custom software applications that operate it, approximately 100 images that can be produced with it and the retail business systems in which this equipment, software and images are employed. The opening of the Irvine Studio on December 1, 1995, provided an opportunity for the Company to upgrade its photographic, image manipulation and compositing hardware and software to take advantage of the technological advances that have been made since the opening of the CityWalk Studio. Consequently the Irvine Studio incorporates the second generation of equipment and software which provides substantially higher resolution photographs and the opportunity to provide a broader product line than the CityWalk Studio. Approximately $12,000 was expended during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 (in addition to the $240,000 expended during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996) on technological advancement for computer hardware and software and the re-production of CityWalk Studio images for the Irvine Studio. The marketing focus of the Irvine Studio recognizes the need for additional "traditional" style backgrounds and these are continuing to be developed as part of ongoing operations. The costs associated with this effort are included in the Statement of Operations. In order to comply with federal, state and local environmental regulations, the Company has permanent filtration systems at the CityWalk and Irvine Studios that lessen the discharge of certain chemicals that may be harmful to the environment by reducing the concentration of these chemicals to safe levels before they are disposed. The Company also contracts with a hazardous waste disposal company with respect to the residue (primarily trace silver) that the filtration unit produces. The Company believes that this equipment and these procedures are sufficient to address any environmental problems associated with its business and it has not received any indication that it is not complying with all applicable regulations. The principal materials used in the Company's business are photographic paper, chemicals, mattes and frames, all of which are readily available throughout the region from a number of wholesale suppliers. 4 ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The Company leases 1,699 square feet of retail space (plus approximately 200 square feet of mezzanine space and an additional 300 square feet of storage space) from MCA Recreation Services, a division of MCA Inc., for the CityWalk Studio. (see "Description of Business - General") This lease provides for a minimum annual rental obligation of approximately $130,599 plus a percentage rental payment equal to ten percent (10%) of annual store revenues over $867,383. During the year to March 31, 1997 the Company paid additional rent of $62,287 as a result of revenues being in excess of the $867,383 threshold. The CityWalk Studio lease expires on May 31, 1998 and is subject to one seven (7) year renewal period at the option of the Company. The lease may be terminated by the lessor if the Company does not meet a minimum annual sales requirement of $587,000. The Company leases 2,634 square feet of retail space from the Irvine Retail Properties Company for the Irvine Studio (see "Description of Business - General"). The lease provides for a minimum annual rental obligation of approximately $118,202 per annum plus a percentage rental payment equal to seven percent (7%) of store revenues over $1,128,857 per annum. The Irvine Studio lease expires on November 21, 1998 and is subject to one seven (7) year renewal period at the option of the Company. The option to renew the lease is available only if sales revenue in the twelve months prior to the date of giving notice is in excess of $810,000 and the net worth of the Company is in excess of $600,000. The Company maintains computer graphics and image production facilities at both the CityWalk Studio and the Irvine Studio, and has its administrative offices at 1419 Peerless Place, Suite 116 in Los Angeles, California ("the Peerless Premises"). Certain of the Company's equipment, furniture and materials are temporarily stored at 101 E. Alameda Ave., Burbank, California ("the Storage Facility"). The Company has a month to month rental obligation for both the Peerless Premises and the Storage Facility. All of the Company's leasehold premises are covered by casualty, liability and business interruption insurance with limits and conditions that management deems customary for the industry. ITEM 3.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Out-Takes, Inc. ("the Company") and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Overview The Company currently operates two photographic portrait studios, the first of which was opened on May 24, 1993 at MCA/Universal's CityWalkSM project in Los Angeles, California ("the CityWalk Studio"), the second opened on December 1, 1995 at the Entertainment Center in the Bazaar at the Irvine Spectrum located in Irvine, Orange County, California ("the Irvine Studio"). During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company engaged a consultant to work with its technical staff, to determine whether the Traveling Studio could be made operational. After some effort and expenditure, the Traveling Studio has been used in five promotions, over a total of ten days. The following table summarizes the Company's fiscal quarter results which have been adjusted for the matters set forth in the notes below: Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1996Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1997 3 months3 months3 months3 months 3 months3 months3 months3 months ended Jun 30ended Sep 30ended Dec 31ended Mar 31ended Jun 30ended Sep 30ended Dec 31ended Mar 31 Revenue $ 357,226 $ 444,838 $375,711 $402,937 $468,187 $657,643 $520,666 $ 368,292 Gross Income/ (Loss) (689,721) 138,332 15,721 (99,748) 18,425 126,736 15,081 (71,384) Net Loss for the period (949,272) (79,278)(210,078)(337,856)(204,568)(172,582)(172,530) (203,666) Net Loss per share ($ 0.18) ($ 0.01)($ 0.01)($ 0.04) ($ 0.02)($ 0.01)($ 0.02)($ 0.01) Closing Bid Price per share of Common Stock $ 0.125 $ 0.15 $ 0.13 $ 0.22 $ 0.22 $ 0.10 $ 0.065 $ 0.085 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As noted in the table presented above, the Company continues to operate at a net loss. Management is focusing on improving revenues from the Irvine Studio by developing a marketing program to attract more customers and creating a background image portfolio that is more suitable for the market in which the Irvine Studio is located. There can be no assurance that this program for the Irvine Studio will be successful and accordingly, the Company will continue to implement overhead reductions to improve the Company's operating margins and reduce the cash outflow from operations. The Company's short term objectives are to increase the revenues of the Irvine Studio, source additional opportunities and venues for the utilization of the Traveling Studio, continue the reduction of expenses and raise capital for opening additional studios. Notwithstanding, net losses (which include depreciation expenses of approximately $100,000 per quarter) are expected to continue unless and until the Company opens such additional studios or the revenue stream from the two existing studios, especially the Irvine studio, increases substantially. On April 24, 1996 the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 3 million shares of the Company's Common Stock for a price of $0.20 per share, which represented the fair market value of the stock on April 24, 1996. On May 6 and 7, 1996, the Company received stock subscriptions from six investors totaling $130,000 for 650,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company received total payment on these subscriptions as of June 6, 1996. On May 7, 1996, Photo Corporation Group Pty Limited ("PCG") converted $130,000 of the $649,500 loan payable at that time to 650,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. This represented a value of $0.20 per share of Common Stock, which was the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors, on this date and the same price paid on such date by the six independent investors. On November 29, 1996, PCG converted $519,000 of the remaining $519,500 note payable, together with $261,000 of accrued management fees payable to Photo Corporation of Australia Pty Limited ("PCA"), which debt was assumed by PCG, into 8,320,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. This represented a value of $0.09375 per share of Common Stock, which the Board of Directors determined to be a fair price at that time. PCG also charged the Company $131,000 of management fees for services provided during the year ended March 31, 1997, pursuant to the Personnel Consulting Agreement with the Company dated June 28, 1995. Management believes that this amount represents the reasonable cost of the services provided to the Company for the year ended March 31, 1997. 7 During the period December 1, 1996 to June 10, 1997, PCG has provided a further $305,000 of cash to assist the Company in funding its day to day operations and to enable the Company to make the payments due to former officers. The debt due to PCG is disclosed on the balance sheet as "Due to Related Party". The Company opened the Irvine Studio on December 1, 1995, commenced operations on December 9, 1995 and at the same time completed the integration of an improved version of the Company's proprietary technology. The original technology incorporated in the CityWalk Studio was placed into service in mid-1993. Since that time, significant improvements have occurred in digital photography equipment software and computers utilized in high-end computer graphics. The Company's new technology incorporates these newer system components and is designed to produce significantly higher resolution and hence better quality photographs across a broader product line. Notwithstanding the quality improvements that have been achieved to date, digital camera technology is still not able to produce photographs which, when enlarged beyond 11" x 14" sizes, are of the same quality as traditional silver halide film, and this may have a negative effect on the studios' long-term earning capabilities. Results of Operations Year Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 1996 The net loss for the year ended March 31, 1997 was $753,346 compared with $1,576,484 for the year ended March 31, 1996. The primary reason for the reduction in the net loss between the two years is that in the year ended March 31, 1996 there was a loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $762,129. There was no such loss in the year ended March 31, 1997. The following table shows Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Income / (Loss) during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, by studio.

The increase in revenues of approximately $434,076 is primarily a result of the Irvine Studio trading for a full twelve months in the year to March 31, 1997 compared with only four months in the year to March 31, 1996 (the Irvine Studio commenced trading on December 9, 1995). CityWalk Studio revenues increased by $69,179 to $1,492,024, an increase of 4.9%. Revenues from the Irvine Studio and the Traveling Studio were $508,192 and $14,572 respectively. Cost of revenues in the year to March 31, 1997 were $1,925,930 or approximately 95.6% of revenues. Cost of revenues in the year to March 31, 1996 were $2,216,128 or approximately 140.0% of revenues. 34% of the cost of revenues in the year to March 31, 1996 represents a loss on impairment of long-lived assets. Excluding this amount, cost of revenues in the year to March 31, 1996 were $1,453,999 or approximately 92.0% of revenues. 8 Cost of revenues for the CityWalk Studio decreased by $765,140 to $1,078,587 despite the $69,179 increase in revenues. Compensation and related benefits were $9,586 lower than the previous year as a result of tighter controls over the number of staff hours worked at the studio. Depreciation was lower by $51,926 as a result of the adoption in June 1995 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the recognition of a $722,000 loss on impairment of CityWalk Studio assets in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, together with the fact that certain assets have now been fully depreciated. As a result of the Company's continuing operating losses, the information obtained during research and the development of the Irvine Studio and the revised total projected future cash flows of the CityWalk Studio, in June 1995 management determined that an impairment loss of approximately $722,000 should be recognized. This loss was calculated as the excess of the net carrying value of the CityWalk Studio long lived assets over the total projected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the assets. Rent was higher as a result of the Company paying rent based on a percentage of revenues, such revenues being higher than in the previous period by $69,179. Other cost of revenues increased by 3.0%, in line with the 4.9% increase in revenue. The CityWalk Studio earned gross income of $413,437 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 compared to a gross loss of $420,882 for the same period last year, an improvement of $834,319. Excluding the effect of the impairment loss recognized in the year ended March 31, 1996, this represents an improvement of $112,319. Costs of revenues for the Irvine Studio were $826,164, resulting in a gross loss of $317,972. Included in cost of revenues was $220,975 of depreciation, a non-cash expense. Cost of revenues for the prior year of $322,272 represented the four month period from opening to March 31, 1996, and included $67,007 of non-recurring pre-opening costs. The Irvine Studio is still performing below expectation and the Company is continuing to develop the portfolio of products available at the Irvine Studio in an endeavor to improve the revenues from the Irvine Studio. Cost of revenues for the Traveling Studio were $21,179, resulting in a gross loss of $6,607. In the year ended March 31, 1996 as a consequence of the adoption of SFAS No. 121, the Traveling Studio incurred a gross loss of $40,129. Despite the gross loss of $317,972 which was incurred in the Irvine Studio, and the gross loss of $6,607 incurred by the Traveling Studio, the Company overall earned a gross income of $88,858 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The gross loss for the same period last year was $635,416. The increase in gross income for the year to March 31, 1997 is mainly due to the loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $762,129 recorded in the year ended March 31, 1996 (there was no similar charge in the year to March 31, 1997), offset by the gross loss incurred in the Irvine Studio which traded for a full twelve months in the year to March 31, 1997 compared with only four months trading in the prior year. Also contributing to the increase in gross income is the $112,319 (excluding the $722,00 loss on impairment of long-lived assets recorded in the year to March 31, 1996) improvement in the gross income generated by the CityWalk Studio. General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 includes termination payments totaling $51,250 paid to former officers of the Company. The corresponding year ended March 31, 1996 includes a non-recurring charge of $110,000 for professional fees relating to the PCG transaction. After adjusting for these non-recurring items, the Company's general and administrative expenses decreased from $805,824 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 to $736,836 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of approximately 9%. This decrease is consistent with Management's plan to reduce overhead costs. Compensation and related benefits decreased by approximately 18% to $258,380 (excluding the $51,250 termination payments) from $313,432 for the same period last year, as a consequence of the cessation of employment on September 1, 1996 of the Vice President Operations and the Vice President Development. Professional fees, excluding the $110,000 in kind consideration on the PCG transaction in the year ended March 31, 1996, increased by 4% to $100,777, compared to $96,979 for the same period last year. Management fees of $131,000 payable to PCG were accrued, relating to the period April 1, 1996 to November 29, 1996, pursuant to the Personnel Consulting Agreement dated June 28, 1995. The expense for the year to March 31, 1997 of $131,000 is comparable with the $130,000 accrued in the previous year for the period July 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996. Management believes that $131,000 (1996: $130,000) represents the reasonable cost of services provided by PCG during the year. Office and storage rent expenses increased from $29,524 in the year to March 31, 1996 to $39,558. Depreciation and amortization costs were lower by $37,244 as a result of previously non-producing assets being put into production and the consequential charges reported in cost of revenues. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $8,969, or 8% to $114,954 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, compared to $105,985 for the same period last year. 9 The Company earned interest income of $484 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $3,035 earned during the prior year. Interest charges totaling $54,602 were incurred on the loan from PCG and on the loan payable to former executives of the Company compared with interest expense of $28,279 in the year ended March 31, 1996. As of March 31, 1997, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,650,000. The ability to utilize $8,275,000 of these losses to be offset against future taxable income is restricted as a result of the change in control arising from the PCG transaction. The losses will expire in March, 2011. Year Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 1995 The following table shows Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Income / (Loss) during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, by studio. Fiscal Year Ended Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1996 March 31, 1995 CityWalk Irvine Traveling CityWalk Irvine Traveling Studio Studio Studio Studio Studio Studio (Opened (Not Open) (Not Open) (Not Open) 12/9/95) Revenues $1,422,845 $ 157,867 $ - $ 1,274,836 $ - $ - -------------------- -------- ----------- ------ ------ Cost of Revenues: Compensation & Related Benefits 439,350 108,787 - 459,217 - - Depreciation & Amortization 189,781 59,468 - 340,423 - - Loss on impairment of Long-Lived Assets 722,000 - 40,129 - - - Pre-opening Costs - 67,007 - - - - Rent 183,421 27,218 - 172,480 - - Other 309,175 69,792 - 346,992 - - ---------- --------- ------- ----------- ------ ------ Total 1,843,727 332,272 40,129 1,319,112 - - ---------- --------- ------- ----------- ------ ------ Gross Loss ($420,882)($ 174,405)($40,129)($ 44,276) $ - $ - ========= ========= ======== ========== ====== ====== The Company overall generated $1,580,712 in revenues, compared to revenues of $1,274,836 during the same period last year, for a net increase of $305,876. CityWalk Studio revenues increased by $148,009 to $1,422,845, an increase of 11.6%. Revenues from the Irvine Studio from the date of opening, December 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996 were $157,867. Cost of revenues increased by 68% to $2,216,128 overall during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 compared to $1,319,112 for the same period last year. Of this 68% increase, 58% is due to the impairment loss of $762,129. Excluding the impairment loss, cost of revenues increased by 10.2%. Cost of revenues for the CityWalk Studio increased by $524,615 to $1,843,727. Compensation and related benefits were $19,867 lower than the previous year as a result of tighter controls over the number of staff hours worked at the studio. Depreciation was lower by $150,642 as a result of the adoption in June 1995 of SFAS No. 121 and the recognition of a $722,000 loss on impairment of CityWalk Studio assets. Rent was higher as a result of the Company paying rent based on a percentage of revenues, such revenues being higher than the previous period by $148,099. Other cost of revenues decreased by 10.9% as a result of cost reduction programs at studio level. The CityWalk Studio incurred a gross loss of $420,882 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 compared to a gross loss of $44,276 for the same period last year. Excluding the $722,000 impairment loss, this represents an improvement of $345,394. Cost of revenues for the Irvine Studio were $332,272, resulting in a gross loss of $174,405. Included in cost of revenues were $67,007 of non-recurring pre-opening costs and $59,468 of depreciation, a non-cash expense. All of the Company's previously idle equipment has been placed into production in the Irvine Studio. The Irvine Studio is performing well below expectation and the Company is proceeding to develop its portfolio of products available at the Irvine Studio in an endeavor to improve the revenues from the Irvine Studio. 10 The Company overall incurred a gross loss of $635,416. This comprises the $420,882 gross loss incurred by the CityWalk Studio, the gross loss of $174,405 which was incurred in the new Irvine Studio and the $40,129 loss incurred by the Traveling Studio. The Company overall incurred a gross loss of $44,276 for the year ended March 31, 1996. Excluding the $762,129 impairment loss recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, this represents an improvement of $170,989. General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 include a non-recurring charge of $110,000 for professional fees relating to the PCG. The corresponding year ended March 31, 1995 includes non-recurring lease abandonment expenses of $120,713 associated with the discontinued leases on the 920 and 910 Colorado Premises. After adjusting for these non-recurring items, the Company's general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,144,481 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 to $834,103 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, a decrease of approximately 28%. This decrease resulted from lower expenditures within almost every overhead expense category, consistent with Management's plan to cut overhead costs. Compensation and related benefits decreased by 15% to $313,432 from $369,618 for the same period last year. Professional fees, excluding the $110,000 in kind consideration on the PCG transaction, decreased by almost 70% to $96,979 from $320,047 for the same period last year. Approximately $80,000 of the professional fees expended during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 were attributable to negotiations with potential financiers, including two equity funding transactions which the Company announced on Form 8-K current report filings and which did not subsequently close. Management fees of $130,000 payable to PCG have been accrued relating to the period July 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996, pursuant to the Personnel Consulting Agreement dated June 28, 1995. Office rent expenses were lower than last year by $37,364 as a result of the closure of the Corporate offices at 920 and 910 Colorado Premises. Depreciation and amortization costs were lower as a result of previously non-producing assets being put into production and the consequential charges reported in cost of revenues. Interest charges totaling $28,279 were incurred on the loan from PCG and on the deferred salaries accrual owing to executives of the Company. There were no such charges in the prior year. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by $41,493 or 28% to $105,985 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, compared to $147,478 for the same period last year. The Company earned interest income of $3,035 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $11 earned during the prior year. During the months of July through November 1995 the Company designed and constructed the Irvine Studio. As a result of this work and the continuing operating losses, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In this regard, the Company reviewed the carrying value of its CityWalk Studio assets for impairment and determined that an impairment loss of $722,000 should be recognized in June 1995. This loss is reflected in the Company's statement of operations. The loss was calculated as the excess of carrying value over fair value, the latter determined by reference to prices for similar assets for the Irvine Studio. This adjustment does not affect the Company's working capital. In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $40,129 in respect of its Traveling Studio, a studio developed in 1992 but used on only one occasion because of significant operating difficulties which have not been addressed because of the Company's decision to pursue cost reductions and focus efforts exclusively on the two permanent studios. The fair value of the Traveling Studio has been determined to be zero. As of March 31, 1996 the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $8,900,000. The ability to utilize $8,275,000 of these losses to be offset against future taxable income is restricted as a result of the change in control arising from the PCG transaction. The losses will expire in March 2011. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of $516,861 as compared to a working capital deficit on March 31, 1996 of $1,216,713. The decrease of $699,852 is primarily attributable to the cash proceeds of stock subscriptions received in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1996 from six investors totaling $130,000 for 650,000 shares of Common Stock, together with the conversion of a $649,000 loan from PCG and $261,000 of accrued management fees payable to PCA, which debt was assumed by PCG, into 8,970,000 shares of Common Stock. This decrease is partly offset by payments to former officers of the Company of approximately $153,000. As of March 31, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $70,908. 11 Net cash used in operating activities was $336,376 for the fiscal year ended on March 31, 1997, compared to the utilization of $439,034 of cash for the same period last year. Approximately $133,000 less cash was required for operating activitites and there were no payments for long outstanding trade creditors made in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 whereas $196,867 of cash was required in the previous year. These reductions in cash requirements were offset by approximately $153,000 paid to former officers of the Company during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The Company invested a total of $46,630 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 for equipment in the Irvine and CityWalk Studios. By comparison, in the previous year the Company invested $652,814 for the acquisition of Irvine Studio leasehold improvements and equipment, computer hardware and software associated with the technological advancement of the Proprietary System and for equipment for the CityWalk Studio. The Company's auditors rendered a going concern report. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate net cash from operations and its ability to continue with debt and/or equity financing. The Company's recurring operating losses and net working capital deficiency raises substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include increasing revenues of the Irvine Studio, continuing the reduction of expenses, and obtaining additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that Management will be successful in these endeavors and if not, the Company will be dependent on the willingness and the ability of the majority stockholder, PCG, to continue to provide additional financing. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, further funding of $260,000 in the form of cash was provided by PCG. $131,000 of management fees were accrued but unpaid during the period April 1996 to November 1996, pursuant to a Personnel Consulting Agreement entered into by the Company with PCA. This compares with a total of $1,098,500 funding in the form of debt and equity provided by PCG in the year ended March 31, 1996, and $130,000 of management fees accrued in the period July 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996. Despite its working capital deficiency, the Company has maintained generally good relations with its vendors. On April 24, 1996 the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 3 million shares of the Company's Common Stock for a price of $0.20 per share, which represented the fair market value of the stock on April 24, 1996. On May 6 and 7, 1996, the Company received stock subscriptions from six investors totaling $130,000 for 650,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company received total payment on these subscriptions as of June 6, 1996. On May 7, 1996, PCG converted $130,000 of the $649,500 loan payable to 650,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. This represented a value of $0.20 per share of Common Stock, which was the fair value on this date, as determined by the Board of Directors and the same price paid on such date by the six independent investors. On November 29,1996, PCG converted $519,000 of the remaining $519,500 note payable, together the $261,000 of accrued management fees payable to PCA, which debt was assumed by PCG, into 8,320,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. This represented a value of $0.09375 per share of Common Stock, which the Board of Director's determined to be a fair price at that time. Management believes that the $131,000 of management fees charged by PCG pursuant to the Personnel Consulting Agreement with the Company dated June 28, 1995, represents the reasonable cost of the services provided by PCG during the year ended March 31, 1997. Although the Company has not commenced to market all Licensed Articles on a timely basis, as of June 10, 1997, the Company has not received any notice that any Licensor intends, by virtue of this matter, to exercise any of the remedies provided for in its respective License Agreements. The Company is current with respect to all payments and required reports to all Licensors and believes that its relationship with all Licensors is satisfactory. The Company leases its CityWalk Studio premises under a five year lease, which expires on May 31, 1998. This lease is subject to renewal at the option of the Company for an additional seven years. The Company leases its Irvine Studio premises under a three year lease which expires on November 21, 1998. This lease is subject to renewal at the option of the Company for an additional seven years, provided sales revenue in the twelve months prior to the date of giving notice is in excess of $810,000 and the net worth of the Company is in excess of $600,000. Given that the Company has not met either of the criteria for renewal of the Irvine Studio lease, management cannot state with certainty that the seven year option period will be exercised and accordingly, no lease commitment in respect of the option period has been disclosed in note 8 to the financial statements. 12 The Company does not anticipate that it will have any problems in meeting its obligations for continuing fixed expenses, materials procurement or operating labor. Management believes the managerial assistance that is being provided to the Company through its association with PCG and the willingness and ability of PCG to continue to fund the cash flow deficiencies of the Company are necessary to ensure the continued operating viability of the Company. The Company is continuing to identify and evaluate opportunities for the building and bringing into operation of additional studios, which would require funding from sources external to the Company. Having regard to the current financial position of the Company, the most likely source of funding for such growth is through additional equity or a loan from PCG. There is no ongoing commitment by PCG to supply such funds and there can be no assurance that such funds will be made available by PCG. The Company is continuing to explore other opportunities for funding its studio expansion, however no assurance can be given that appropriate sources of finance will be found. Other Matters On August 31, 1996, Michael C. Roubicek, Vice President of the Company, was elected to the Board of Directors of the Company to fill the vacancy created by Mr Robert Shelton's cessation as a director of the Company. The Company's securities are quoted on the OTC-Bulletin Board under the trading symbol OUTT. 12 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT The Stockholders and Board of Directors of Out-Takes, Inc. Los Angeles, California We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Out-Takes, Inc. as of March 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Out-Takes, Inc. as of March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 14. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements, effective for the year ended March 31, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, (Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of), resulting in a write down of its plant and equipment of $762,129.

The Accompanying Notes are an Integral Part of These Financial Statements. 17 OUT-TAKES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [1] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements are presented on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized when merchandise is sold and expenses are recognized when incurred. Where applicable, the figures for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 have been reclassified in order to facilitate comparison with the figures for the current year. Plant and Equipment and Depreciation - Plant and equipment consists primarily of computers, photography equipment and leasehold improvements, and are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful asset lives using the straight-line method over 5 years for all equipment and furniture. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor purchases are expensed as incurred. Royalties - Royalties are calculated as a percentage of sales as specified in each License Agreement and are expensed over the life of the agreement except where this amount is less than the minimum guarantee provided by the agreement. In the latter situation, royalty expense is equal to the minimum guarantee, amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the guarantee. Where royalties have been paid in advance, such amounts are disclosed on the Company's balance sheet as prepaid royalties, net of amounts expensed. Stock Options - The difference between the fair market value and the exercise price, if below fair market value, of a stock option granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan is charged to expense in the period in which the option is granted. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair market value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Inventories - Inventories consisting principally of frames, bags, mattes, chemicals, paper products and other supplies are priced at cost determined using the FIFO method. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company classifies all highly liquid debt instruments, readily convertible to cash and purchased with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase, as cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 1997. Risk Concentrations - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. At March 31, 1997, the Company had no deposits in financial institutions which exceeded the $100,000 federally insured limit. The excess of the institution's deposit liability to the Company over the federally insured limit was therefore zero. A significant part of the Company's ability to generate revenues is dependent on the continuation of the License Agreements with the various Licensors. Three of the License Agreements provide a portfolio of images that each result in approximately 15% of the revenues of the Company. While the Company has License Agreements relating to the use of the images there can be no assurance that the License Agreements will be renewed or renewed on commercially acceptable terms after their current expiry dates. In such event, unless alternative License Agreements can be obtained, the loss of the License Agreements would have a material adverse affect on the Company (see note 3[A]). Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts. Accordingly, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenditure for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $28,552, $13,140 and $ 9,841 respectively. Deferred Taxes - There are no material differences between the accounting methods used for financial and tax purposes. The Company has sustained losses in recent years and has a large net operating loss carryforward. No deferred taxes are reflected in these financial statements. 18 OUT-TAKES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) [2] Organization and Business The Company was incorporated on March 18, 1992, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of photographic portraits of children, adults and family groups using proprietary hardware and digital imaging software. The Company currently operates and derives substantially all of its revenues from two retail studios, called Out-Takes(R), one of which opened on May 24, 1993 and is located at MCA/Universal's CityWalkSM project in Los Angeles, California ("the CityWalk Studio"). The other studio opened on December 1, 1995 at the Entertainment Center in the Bazaar at the Irvine Spectrum, located in Irvine, Orange County, California ("the Irvine Studio"). During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company engaged a consultant, to work with its technical staff, to determine whether the Traveling Studio could be made operational. [3] [A] License Agreements and Royalties The Company has merchandise licensing agreements ("License Agreements") with Paramount Pictures Corporation ("Paramount"), MCA/Universal Merchandising, Inc. ("Universal"), Warner Bros. Consumer Products - formerly Turner Home Entertainment, Inc. ("Warner"), Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising ("Fox"), Jay P. Morgan Photography ("Morgan"), MTV Netowrks ("MTV"), Saban Merchandising Inc. ("Saban") and various other agencies and photographers that grant the Company the right to manufacture, sell and distribute in a defined geographic area, still photographs which combine a digital photograph taken of the customer in the studio with a licensed background from one of the Licensors which may be sold separately or affixed to items approved by these licensors, including photographic enlargements, greeting cards, posters, books, t-shirts, mugs, buttons and other novelty items. Royalties expense for the year ending March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $66,816, $35,622 and $48,245 respectively. Although the Company has not commenced to market all Licensed Articles on a timely basis, as of March 31, 1997, the Company has not received any notice that any Licensor intends, by virtue of this matter, to exercise any of the remedies provided for in its respective License Agreements. The Company is current with respect to all payments and required reports to all Licensors. [B] Sublicense Agreement - Related Party On March 1, 1995, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with Photo Corporation of Australia Pty Limited ("PCA"), a subsidiary of Photo Corporation Group Pty. Ltd. ("PCG") (see note 5 and note 15), that, subject to the prior approval of the Licensors, grants PCA a non-exclusive license to utilize the Licensed Articles on substantially the same terms as provided in the License Agreements. The sublicense also provides that PCA will pay the Company an amount equal to 120% of the royalties the Company pays to Licensors for such images. The Company has received consent from Morgan, Fox and Paramount and other Licensors indicating their willingness to support utilization of the Licensed Articles in countries where PCA operates. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had not yet become entitled to receive any royalties from PCA. [4] Plant and Equipment March 31, 1997 March 31, 1996 The components of plant and equipment are: Photographic Equipment $ 622,192 $ 689,238 Computers and Software 679,427 653,753 Equipment and Furniture 308,987 309,835 Leasehold Improvements 1,011,292 930,375 ------------- ------------- Total - At Cost 2,621,898 2,583,201 Less: Accumulated Depreciation 1,776,700 1,331,101 ------------- ------------- Net $ 845,198 $ 1,252,100 ============= ============= 19 OUT-TAKES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) [4] Plant and Equipment - (Continued) Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful asset lives using the straight-line method over five years for all equipment and furniture. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor purchases are expensed as incurred. [5] Related Party Transactions Mr Robert Shelton, Vice President Development and Mrs Leah Peterson-Shelton, Vice President Operations, ceased employment with the Company from and effective September 1, 1996. Mr Shelton also ceased as a Director of the Company from and effective September 1, 1996. Deferred salaries owing to Mr Shelton and Mrs Peterson-Shelton, accrued interest on deferred salaries, accrued vacation pay and amounts payable on termination totalling $274,373 were consolidated on September 1, 1996, and are being repaid over the period to April 17, 1998. This liability is presented on the balance sheet as "Compensation payable - Related Party". The liability is secured by the assets of the Company pursuant to the Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement as of September 1, 1996, between the Company, Mr Shelton, Mrs Peterson-Shelton and Photo Corporation Group Pty Limited ("PCG"), the majority stockholder. Interest expense is incurred at the prime rate of interest (approximately 8.5%) and in the period to March 31, 1997 interest expense totalled $10,604. As of March 31, 1997, interest of $676 was accrued and unpaid. The Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement inter alia provides for Mr Shelton and Mrs Peterson-Shelton to act as consultants to the Company as requested by the Company and as agreed to by them. No consulting fees were incurred or paid during the year ended March 31, 1997. Management fees of $261,000 payable to PCA were accrued pursuant to the Personnel Consulting Agreement with the Company dated June 28, 1995. These charges cover the period from July 1, 1995 through November 30, 1996. Management believes that these charges represent the reasonable cost of services provided by PCG pursuant to the Personnel Consulting Agreement with the Company dated June 28, 1995. On November 29, 1996, the accrued management fees of $261,000 were converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock (see note 6). At March 31, 1997 the $260,500 "Due to Related Party" ($649,500 as of March 31, 1996) was advanced by PCG. The proceeds of the $649,500 advance were used predominantly to fund the construction of the Irvine Studio and to upgrade the technology in relation to the studio's operation. Of the $649,500 total, $649,000 was converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock on November 29, 1996 (see note 6). A further $260,000 in cash was advanced by PCG during the period to March 31, 1997. The funds have been used predominantly to fund the day to day operation of the business and to fund the payments due to former officers of the Company. The amount Due to Related Party is unsecured and is payable on demand. Interest expense is incurred at a rate of 10% per annum and for the year ended March 31, 1997 was $40,575. As of March 31, 1997, interest of $7,871 was accrued. The amount "Due from Related Party" of $7,343 as of March 31, 1997 represents monies advanced by the Company during fiscal 1997 on behalf of PCA. The weighted average interest rate on short term borrowings as of March 31, 1997 was approximately 10.0%. [6] Stockholders' Equity Authorization for Issuance of Additional Shares - On April 24, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 3 million shares of the Company's Common Stock for a price of $0.20 per share, which represented the Board of Directors' determination of the fair market value for restricted shares of stock on April 24, 1996. On November 29, 1996 the Board of Directors agreed to reduce the price for any additional issuance of shares of Common Stock to $0.09375, which represented the fair market value at that time. Increase in Authorized Number of Shares - On July 24, 1996, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock of the Company from 25,000,000 to 35,000,000. 20 OUT-TAKES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) [6] Stockholders' Equity - (Continued) Stock Subscription - On May 6 and 7, 1996 the Company received stock subscriptions from six investors totaling $130,000 for 650,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company received total payment on these subscriptions as of June 6, 1996. Debt to Equity Conversion - On May 7, 1996, the majority stockholder, PCG, converted $130,000 of its $649,500 loan payable into 650,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. This represented a value of $0.20 per share of Common Stock which represented the Board of Directors' determination of the fair market value on this date and the same price also paid by the six independent investors in May 1996. On November 29, 1996, PCG converted $519,000 of the remaining $519,500 note payable, together with $261,000 of accrued management fees payable to PCA, which debt was assumed by PCG, into 8,320,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock . This represented a value of $0.09375 per share of Common Stock, which the Board of Directors' determined to be a fair price at that time. In addition, PCG agreed not to charge management fees for services provided by it or its related parties pursuant to the Personnel Consulting Agreement with the Company dated June 28, 1995 for a period of two years commencing December 1, 1996. Escrow Shares - In March, 1992, 1,900,000 shares were issued to the Company's founders ("Founders") and deferred compensation of $364,800 was recorded for the 1,900,000 shares. Included in the 1,900,000 shares were 1,150,000 shares issued to the Founders for services in connection with the incorporation of the Company. Accordingly, $220,800 was amortized as compensation expense in 1992. The remaining 750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were placed into escrow for the benefit of the Founders. The Founders are permitted to vote their respective Escrow Shares while they are in escrow, however, the Escrow Shares are not assignable or transferable, except through the laws of inheritance, guardianship, legal representation or trusteeship for the benefits of the holder or the holder's immediate family. In the event the Company's pre-tax earnings first equals or exceeds an amount listed below for any fiscal year ending on or prior to November 30, 1998, the Escrow Shares will be released to the Founders as follows: Escrow Shares Pre-Tax Earnings to be Released $1,500,000 250,000 $1,750,000 250,000 $2,500,000 250,000 If the above pre-tax earnings levels are achieved, the Company will recognize a compensation expense equal to the difference between the fair market value at the time of release of Escrow Shares to officers or employees of the Company and the recorded value at the time of issuance. Release of the Escrow Shares is likely to result in substantial compensation expense to the Company in future years. In the event the above does not occur, the shares will be returned to the Company as Treasury Shares. To date, the pre-tax earnings have not been achieved and accordingly there has been no amortization of deferred compensation for the 750,000 escrowed shares. During the 1993 fiscal year, a stockholder contributed 137,500 shares to the Company in exchange for registering 630,728 shares and granting the Company an irrevocable proxy to vote the shares. For the period of four years commencing September 10, 1994, the holders of at least 51% of the shares sold in a private placement completed in June and July of 1992 have the right to require the Company to register these shares for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933. Warrants - The Company issued a total of 2,353,125 redeemable Class A Warrants and 1,868,750 redeemable Class B Warrants in connection with the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") on March 9, 1993. Each Class A Warrant provides the holder with the right to purchase one share of Common Stock at $4.80 and each Class B Warrant provides the holder with the right to purchase one share of Common Stock at $6.75 per share. The warrants expire at the close of business on March 9, 1998 and are subject to redemption at $0.05 per warrant in the event that the average closing bid price per share of the Common Stock exceeds $8.00 per share with respect to the Class A Warrant and $11.75 per share with respect to the Class B Warrant for any 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than 15 days prior to the date of the notice of redemption. The exercise price of the Class A and Class B warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events including: the issuance of Common Stock as a dividend to the holders of all outstanding Common Stock or for cash in an amount per share less than the warrant exercise price per share; subdivisions, combinations, or certain 21 OUT-TAKES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Contimued) [6] Stockholders' Equity - (Continued) reclassifications of Common Stock; or certain issuances of rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for Common Stock or securities of the Company convertible into Common Stock. At March 31, 1997, the exercise price of the Class A and Class B warrants had not been adjusted and none of the warrants had been exercised or redeemed by the Company. There are 2,353,125 of Class A warrants and 1,868,750 Class B warrants outstanding at March 31, 1997. [7] Stock Option Plans Under the Company's Amended and Restated 1992 Stock Option Plan, incentive stock options may be granted to purchase shares of the Company's stock at a price not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of the grant. Non-qualified stock options may be granted at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value. No option may be exercised after ten years from the date of the grant. At March 31, 1997, 462,000 shares were reserved for future grants. Effective March 20, 1997, the Company's 1992 Directors Stock Option Plan for Non-employee Directors was terminated. No compensation cost was recognized in income.

This lease is subject to renewal at the option of the Company for an additional seven years. The lease provides for an annual rental payment of $130,599 and the payment of 10% of annual store revenues in excess of $867,383. The Company paid $62,287 additional rent during the year to March 31, 1997 (1996: $56,862; 1995: $36,184) as a result of sales being in excess of the threshold. Both the base rental amount and the percentage rental cut-in point are adjusted annually for changes in the consumer price index. The lease may be terminated by the lessor if the Company does not meet a minimum annual sales requirement of $587,000. The Company leases its Irvine Studio premises under a three year lease, which expires on November 21, 1998. This lease is subject to renewal at the option of the Company for an additional seven years. The lease provides for an annual rental payment including common area costs and marketing costs of $118,202 per annum and the payment 22 OUT-TAKES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) [8] Commitments - (Continued) of 7% of store revenues in excess of $1,128,857 per annum. Both the base rental amount and the percentage rental cut-in point are adjusted annually for changes in the consumer price index. The option to renew the lease is available only if sales revenue in the twelve months prior to the date of giving notice is in excess of $810,000 and the net worth of the Company is in excess of $600,000. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 1997 are shown in the table below. The table includes the option period for the CityWalk Studio but does not include the option period for the Irvine Studio (see note 14). Year ended March 31 1998 $ 248,801 1999 209,400 2000 130,599 2001 130,599 2002 130,599 Thereafter 413,562 ---------- Total $1,263,560 ========== The Company has a month to month commitment of $2,300 per month for temporary corporate office space and a month to month commitment of $600 per month for storage facilities. Total rental expense for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $340,717, $240,163 and $239,368 respectively. [9] Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share was calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the year. Neither the 292,396 shares held in Treasury nor the 750,000 shares held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement between the Founders and the Company have been included in the weighted average shares outstanding during the year as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive (see note 6). The effect of outstanding stock warrants and options was not included in the calculations as their effect would also be anti-dilutive. [10] Trademark Registrations and Patent Applications The Company has registered the marks Out-Takes(R), So You Want to be in Pictures(R) , Photomation(R) and Create the Moment(R) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and has registered the Out-Takes(R) service mark in Japan, in both Japanese and English. The Company has filed two applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office seeking patent protection for certain aspects of the Company's technology. [11] Income Taxes As of March 31, 1997, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $9,650,000. The ability to offset $8,275,000 of these losses against future taxable income has been restricted as a result of the change in control which occurred on June 28, 1995 when a majority shareholding in the Company was acquired by PCG. As of March 31, 1997, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $663,000 arising from these operating loss carry forwards which will expire in March, 2011. However, due to uncertainty whether the Company will generate income in the future sufficient to fully or partially utilize these loss carry forwards, an allowance of $663,000 has been established to offset this asset. [12] Notes Payable The Note Payable of $48,000 is due to a former financial consultant to the Company pursuant to a settlement agreement dated August 17,1994. The note is non-interest bearing and payment is subject to availability of future cash flows from the Company's operations. 23 OUT-TAKES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) [13] New Authoritative Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. The provisions of SFAS No. 125 must be applied prospectively; retroactive application is prohibited. Adoption of this Standard on January 1, 1997 did not have a material impact on the Company. The FASB deferred some provisions of SFAS No. 125 which are not expected to be relevant to the Company. The FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" and SFAS No. 129 "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" in February 1997. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the earnings per share ("EPS") calculations required by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 15, and related interpretations, by replacing the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS by entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar to the fully diluted EPS of APB Opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. When adopted, SFAS No. 128 will require restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented; however, the Company has not sufficiently analyzed SFAS No. 128 to determine what effect SFAS No. 128 will have on its historically reported EPS amounts. SFAS No. 129 does not change any previous disclosure requirements, but rather consolidates existing disclosure requirements for ease of retrieval. [14] Going Concern The Company commenced commercial operations on May 24, 1993 and as of May 15, 1997, the Company has been unsuccessful in generating net cash from operations. The net cash used by the Company in operating activities in the year ended March 31, 1997 was $336,376. The Company incurred a net loss of $753,346 for the year ended March 31, 1997 and has a working capital deficit as of March 31, 1997 of $516,861. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate net cash from operations. The Company's recurring operating losses and net working capital deficiency raises substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include increasing revenues of the Irvine Studio by developing a marketing program to attract more customers and by creating a background image portfolio that is more suitable for the market in which the Irvine Studio is located. Given that the Company has not met either of the criteria for renewal of the Irvine Studio lease in November 1998, management cannot state with certainty that the seven year option period will be exercised and accordingly, no lease commitment in respect of the option period has been disclosed in note 8. Management is also continuing the reduction of expenses throughout the Company, continuing in its efforts to find additional opportunities and venues for the utilization of the Traveling Studio and seeking to obtain additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in these endeavors and if it is not, the Company will be dependent on the willingness and the ability of the major stockholder, PCG, to continue to provide additional financing and no assurance can be given the such additional financing will be provided. [15] Change of Control - Photo Corporation Group Pty. Ltd. ("PCG") On June 28, 1995, the Company closed a transaction with PCG whereby PCG was issued 5,440,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, representing 50.001% of its total issued and outstanding shares at that time, at an issue price of $0.09375 per share. As part of this transaction, PCG also acquired options to purchase 4,560,001 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.1875 per share, together with the entering into of various agreements, particulars of which were fully disclosed in the Proxy Statement forwarded to all stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 28, 1995 (see note 3B and note 5). 24 OUT-TAKES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) [16] Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company had adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. As a result of the Company's continuing operating losses and the information obtained during research and the development of the Irvine Studio, the Company reviewed the carrying value of the assets at its CityWalk studio for impairment in the June 1995 quarter. Management determined that an impairment loss of approximately $722,000 should be recognized. This loss was determined as the excess of carrying value over fair value. Fair value was determined by reference to costs for similar assets for the Irvine Studio. As a result of the significant operating difficulties associated with the Traveling Studio, the Company reviewed the carrying value of the asset for impairment in the March 1996 quarter. Management determined that an impairment loss of $40,129 should be recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its fair value of zero. Fair value was determined to be zero as the asset was not able to be placed into production in its present form. Long term assets of the Company are reviewed at least annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 121. Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value or projected discounted cash flows from related operations. Management also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of March 31, 1997, management expects these assets to be fully recoverable. [17] Financial Instruments The carrying amount of cash and notes payable approximates fair value. [18] Subsequent Events During the period April 1, 1997 to May 15, 1997 PCG provided an additional $45,000 of cash to assist the Company in funding its day to day operations and to enable the Company to make the required payments due to the former officers of the Company. . . . . . . . . . . . 25 ITEM 9.
