MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------------------------------

CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain  Statements in this Management's  Discussion and Analysis,  elsewhere in
this Annual Report to  Shareholders  and in the Company's  1996 Annual Report on
Form  10-K  into  which  this  discussion  and  analysis  is  incorporated   are
forward-looking  statements  based on current  expectations,  and entail various
risks and  uncertainties  that could cause actual  results to differ  materially
from  those  expressed  in  such  forward-looking  statements.  Such  risks  and
uncertainties  are set  forth  below  under  "Overview".  These  forward-looking
statements  include  paragraphs below relating to "Net Sales," the last sentence
of the paragraph below relating to "Engineering  and Product  Development,"  the
statements  below under  "Overview,"  the  statements  regarding  the  Company's
expected  investment in property,  machinery and equipment under  "Liquidity and
Capital  Resources"  below,  and the  statements  in the  last  paragraph  under
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, among others.

OVERVIEW

The Company designs,  manufactures,  markets and supports video  post-production
tools for high quality real time video  processing.  The Company's  products are
used to  perform  a  variety  of video  manipulation  functions,  including  the
addition of special effects,  graphics and titles to multiple streams of live or
previously recorded video material.
        From the Company's  inception in 1986 until 1994,  substantially  all of
the  Company's  revenues  were  derived  from  the  sale of  products  into  the
traditional  video  market.  The  Company  currently  has two  product  families
designed to serve this market;  Prizm,  and FlashFile.  Prizm provides real time
digital  video  effects  capabilities,  compositing,  3D modeling and  animation
tools,  and FlashFile  provides  sophisticated  still store  library  management
capabilities with optional titling, paint and video clips.
        With the  introduction  of the Alladin in June 1994,  the Company  began
sales into the desktop video market.  The Alladin  product family  provides real
time digital video manipulation capabilities for the desktop video market. Since
the  introduction  of  Alladin,  the  Company's  sales  growth has been  largely
dependent  on the  success of  Alladin.  Sales of Alladin  products  represented
approximately  71.3% and 55.7% of net sales for  fiscal  1996 and  fiscal  1995,
respectively.  A decline  in demand  for  Alladin  or the  failure of Alladin to
maintain market acceptance, as a result of competition,  technological change or
other factors,  would have a material adverse effect on the Company's  business,
operating results and financial condition.
        The Company  distributes and sells its products to end users through the
combination  of  independent  domestic  and  international   dealers,   original
equipment  manufacturers ("OEMs") and, to a lesser extent, a direct sales force.
Sales to dealers  and OEMs are  generally  at a discount to the  published  list
prices. Generally, products sold to OEMs are integrated into systems sold by the
OEMs to their customers.  The amount of discount, and consequently the Company's
gross profit,  varies  depending on the product and the channel of  distribution
through which it is sold, the volume of product purchased and other factors.  In
the United  States,  the  Company  supports  the sale of desktop  products  with
independent  sales  representatives  that earn  commissions  based on sales into
their region.
        The Company is highly  dependent on sales of Alladin  through OEM's,  in
particular  Avid  Technology,   Inc.  ("Avid").  Sales  to  Avid  accounted  for
approximately 43.3% of net sales in fiscal 1996. No other customer accounted for
more than 10% of the Company's net sales during such period or during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995.  This  concentration  of the  Company's net sales to a
single OEM  customer,  subjects the Company to a number of risks,  in particular
the risk that its operating results will vary on a quarter to quarter basis as a
result of variations in the ordering patterns of 

                                                                              11


the OEM  customer.  Variations  in the timing of revenues can cause  significant
fluctuations  in  quarterly  results of  operations.  The  Company's  results of
operations could be materially  adversely affected by the failure of anticipated
orders to materialize and by deferrals or cancellations of orders as a result of
changes in Avid's requirements. For example, sales to Avid in the fourth quarter
of 1996 were lower than sales in the third  quarter of 1996 leading to a decline
in  overall  net  sales.  As a  result,  if the  Company  were to lose Avid as a
customer,  or if orders  from Avid were to  otherwise  decrease,  the  Company's
business,   operating  results  and  financial  condition  would  be  materially
adversely affected. (See "Results of Operations - Net Sales").
        In April 1996, the Company  announced Genie, a new desktop video product
family and  commenced  shipment  of the first Genie  products in June 1996.  The
Company will be dependent upon the successful  introduction,  market acceptance,
manufacture,   distribution   and  sale  of  Genie  to   increase   revenue  and
profitability  in the future.  In order to  successfully  introduce  Genie,  the
Company will be required to rapidly bring it into volume  production,  a process
that will require the attainment of acceptable  manufacturing  yields and costs.
New  products  typically  have  lower  initial  manufacturing  yields and higher
initial  manufacturing  costs than more mature  products.  In addition,  despite
testing by the Company, as is typical with any new product introduction, quality
and reliability problems may arise and any such problems could result in reduced
bookings,  manufacturing rework costs, delays in collecting accounts receivable,
additional  service warranty costs and a limitation on market  acceptance of the
product.  The successful  introduction of Genie will also require the Company to
manage the introduction in order to minimize  disruption in customer's  ordering
patterns  for Alladin.  Sales of Genie will also be dependent on the  successful
integration of Genie by various OEM's into their  non-linear  editing  products.
Any delay in the Company's ability to manufacture and ship Genie, the failure of
Genie to gain market  acceptance,  a disruption in customer ordering pattern for
Alladin, and the timing and success in which Genie is integrated into non-linear
OEM systems could adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition, particularly on a quarterly basis.
        In June 1996, the Company  acquired the Video Director product line from
Gold Disk,  Inc.  Video  Director  is a low-cost  video  software  package  sold
primarily  to home video  enthusiasts.  Pinnacle  anticipates  developing  a new
family of products  that combine a subset of its video  manipulation  technology
with Video  Director  technology  to create a new category of products  enabling
home  video  enthusiasts  to  create  professional-looking  video  content.  The
introduction  of these  products  is  directed  at a new market  and  depends on
expected  technology and market  acceptance.  There can be no assurance that the
market for home video  systems will expand,  or that these new products  will be
accepted by that market. The sources of competition on the home video market are
not yet well  defined.  The Company  expects  that  existing  computer  software
manufacturers  and new market  entrants  will develop  products that may compete
directly  with the Video  Director  derivative  products to be  developed by the
Company.   Suppliers  or  other  computer  software  products  have  established
distribution  channels and  experience in marketing  low price  products and may
acquire or develop high quality home video editing and manipulation products for
this market.  Increased  competition  could result in lower prices,  margins and
market share than are currently  anticipated in designing and  developing  these
products.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be able to compete
successfully against current and future competitors in the video markets. To the
extent the Company is not successful  with the development and sales of products
in this market segment, the Company's business,  operating results and financial
condition could be adversely affected.
        The Company currently  intends to develop and market follow-on  products
for the traditional  video market.  The introduction of such products would have
the  same  market  acceptance,  manufacture,  distribution  and  sales  risks as
described  above for the  Genie  family.  The  introduction  of new  traditional
products could significantly slow or replace sales of Prizm and/or FlashFile. If
this were to occur prior to shipment of any new  products,  sales of the Company
video  traditional  products  and total sales could be  adversely  affected.  In
addition,  if sales of the Prizm and/or FlashFile products were to decrease more
rapidly than expected, the Company could be left with excess Prizm and FlashFile
inventory which could materially affect the Company's financial condition.

        The   Company  is  nearing   capacity  at  its   Sunnyvale,   California
headquarters facility. In June 1996, the Company entered into an operating lease
agreement for another facility in Mountain View, California,  which commences on
August 15,  1996.  The Company  expects to move into the new  facility,  located
approximately  one mile from the current  facility,  in October 1996. During the
transition  to the new  facility,  the  Company  will be required to maintain an
uninterrupted  supply of products in order to avoid any  disruption  in customer
shipments.  Any  failure to maintain  acceptable  production  levels  during the
transition to the new facility could  adversely  affect the Company's  operating
results, particularly in the quarter of the transition. The Company is obligated
to continue lease payments on the Sunnyvale  facility through November 15, 1996.
The Company's  financial results may be affected as a result of this move, since
rent expenses will be incurred on two facilities from August 15 through November
15, 1996. Additionally, the Company will incur relocation and other moving costs
of up to $200,000 during the transition period.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

Net Sales.  The  Company's  net sales  increased  by 108.0% to $46.2  million in
fiscal 1996 from $22.2  million in fiscal 1995 and by 116.9% in fiscal 1995 from
$10.2  million in fiscal  1994.  The  increases in net sales in each period were
primarily attributable to shipment of the Alladin product,  particularly to Avid
in  fiscal  1996.   See   "Overview."   Sales  outside  of  North  America  were
approximately  32.7%, 46.5% and 47.6% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The decrease in sales outside of North America in
fiscal 1996 was primarily  attributable to the significant  increase in sales of
Alladin to Avid's North American facility.
        As previously mentioned,  sales to the Company's largest customer, Avid,
declined  from the third  quarter to the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1996.  Also,
sales of Alladin  products to customers other than Avid declined during the same
period.  The Company  believes these trends will likely  continue into the first
quarter  of fiscal  1997,  and as a result,  net sales in the first  quarter  of
fiscal 1997 will decline sequentially from the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. As
a result of this decline in net sales and an increase in operating expenses, the
Company expects  operating income to decline  significantly in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997.

                                                                              13




Cost of  Sales.  Cost of  sales  consists  primarily  of  costs  related  to the
acquisition of components and subassemblies,  labor and overhead associated with
procurement,  assembly and testing of finished products,  warehousing,  shipping
and warranty costs.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 48.3%,  49.1%
and 50.6 % in fiscal 1996,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The decrease in gross
profits  as a  percentage  of net  sales  between  fiscal  1996 and 1995 was due
primarily  to an increase in sales to OEM  customers,  which  typically  carry a
lower gross profit percentage. The decrease in gross profits as a percentage net
sales between fiscal 1995 and 1994 was primarily due to higher material costs as
a percentage of sales for Alladin as compared to the Company's traditional video
products.  Both  comparable  period changes were  partially  offset by increased
efficiency due to higher production volume.

Engineering  and  Product  Development.   Engineering  and  product  development
expenses increased by 113.7% to $5.1 million in fiscal 1996 from $2.4 million in
fiscal 1995 and by 33.2% in fiscal 1995 from $1.8  million in fiscal  1994.  The
increase in each period was primarily  attributable to increased expenditures in
connection  with the  continued  expansion of the Company's  design  engineering
team.  Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of net sales
were 11.1%,  10.8% and 17.7% in fiscal 1996,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The
Company expects to continue to allocate significant resources to engineering and
product development effort.
        Software  development costs are expensed as incurred until technological
feasibility is established, after which any additional costs are capitalized, in
accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 86.  During
fiscal 1996, the Company  capitalized  less than $100,000 and no such costs were
capitalized  during  fiscal 1995.  The Company  currently  believes  that future
capitalization of such costs will not be significant.

Sales and  Marketing.  Sales and marketing  expenses  include  compensation  and
benefits for sales and  marketing  personnel,  commissions  paid to  independent
sales representatives, trade show and advertising expenses and professional fees
for marketing services.  Sales and marketing expenses increased by 66.8% to $8.9
million in fiscal  1996 from $5.3  million in fiscal 1995 and by 63.1% in fiscal
1995 from $3.3  million in fiscal  1994.  The  increase  in sales and  marketing
expenses in each period was  primarily  attributable  to increased  expenditures
related to continued promotion of the Alladins including  expenditures for trade
shows,  advertising  creation and  placement,  professional  fees for  marketing
services and increases in the number of sales and marketing personnel. Sales and
marketing  expenses as a percentage of net sales were 19.3%,  24.1% and 32.0% in
fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease of sales and marketing as
a  percentage  of net sales in each period was due  primarily to the increase in
sales through the OEM distribution  channel,  in particular  through Avid, which
require less direct sales and marketing expenditures by the Company.

General and  Administrative.  General and  administrative  expenses increased by
100.9% to $2.2  million in fiscal  1996 from $1.1  million in fiscal 1995 and by
91.9%  in  fiscal  1995  from  $0.6   million  in  fiscal   1994.   General  and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 4.7%, 4.9% and 5.5% in
fiscal  1996,  1995  and  1994,  respectively.   The  increase  in  general  and
administrative expenses in each period resulted from an increase in expenditures
related  to the  overall  growth  of the  Company's  operations,  the  Company's
expanded facility and in fiscal 1995 increased  administrative  costs associated
with being a public company.

In Process Research and Development. In June 1996, the Company purchased certain
assets for $4.5  million  from Gold Disk,  Inc.,  a  developer  and  marketer of
software products for video editing and assembly.  The assets acquired primarily
included  tangible  assets of $240,000,  intangible  assets  including the Video
Director Brand name,  user list, and source code technology  totaling  $342,000,
and in process  research and development of $3,991,000.  The in process research
and  development  were recorded as an expense during the fourth quarter of 1996.
The intangible assets will be amortized over a 3 year period.

Interest Income (Expense), Net. Net Interest income increased to $3.3 million in
fiscal 1996 from $0.7 million in fiscal 1995  compared to a nominal net interest
expense in fiscal 1994. The increases in each period were due to interest earned
on the investment of cash proceeds  received from the Company's public offerings
in November 1994 and July 1995. In general,  the Company's  cash and  marketable
securities have maturities of less than one year. Changes in the market interest
rates may have an effect on interest income in future periods.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense).  The Company recorded  provisions for income taxes
of $1.7 million,  $0.6 million and $2,000 for the fiscal years ended 1996,  1995
and  1994,  respectively,  at  effective  rates of 32.0%  and  20.2%  and  zero,
respectively. During the second quarter in fiscal 1996, the Company discontinued
its Domestic International Sales Corp. ("DISC"), and established a Foreign Sales
Corporation  ("FSC").  As of June 30, 1996, the Company's reported net operating
loss  carryforward  was  approximately  $0.1  million  for  federal  income  tax
purposes.  The Company's general business credit carryforwards were estimated to
be approximately $0.3 million for federal tax purposes.  If not utilized,  these
carryforwards  will  expire in  various  amounts  from 2006  through  2011.  The
Company's  ability  to  utilize  these   carryforwards  is  subject  to  certain
limitations  due to an ownership  change as defined by the provisions of Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

INFLATIONARY IMPACT
Since the inception of operations,  inflation has not significantly affected the
operating results of the Company. However, inflation and changing interest rates
have had a  significant  effect on the  economy in general and  therefore  could
affect the operating results of the Company in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its  operations  through  private  placements of equity
securities with aggregate net proceeds of approximately $6.9 million,  long-term
debt, short-term bank borrowings and cash generated from operations. In addition
the  Company  completed  offerings  in  November  1994  and  July  1995  raising
approximately $65.5 million, net of offering expenses.
        The Company's operating  activities provided $0.9 million in fiscal 1996
and used $0.7  million and $0.1  million in fiscal 1995 and 1994,  respectively.
The cash provided by operating  activities  during fiscal 1996 was the result of
net income as adjusted  for the effects of acquired  research  and  development,
depreciation  and  amortization,  tax benefits from the exercise of common stock
options, partially offset by net increases in the components of working capital.
In fiscal 1995,  significant  increases in the accounts receivable and inventory
balances  were  partially  offset by increases  in accounts  payable and accrued
expenses.
        In fiscal 1996,  the Company raised  approximately  $43.8 million in net
proceeds from the follow-on public offering,  purchased $1.8 million in property
and equipment,  and paid $4.4 million for Video Director Product Line. In fiscal
1995, the Company purchased $0.9 million of property and equipment.
        The Company expects to continue to purchase property and equipment at an
increasing  rate during  fiscal  1997.  In addition to increased  machinery  and
equipment  expenditures,  the Company expects to invest between $2.5 million and
$3.0  million  during  the first two  quarters  of fiscal  1997 in  capital  and
leasehold  improvements for the new Mountain View facility. See "Overview." Such
investing will be financed from working capital.
        As of June 30, 1996,  the Company had working  capital of  approximately
$72.3 million,  including  $27.8 million in cash and cash  equivalents and $29.3
million in marketable  securities.  The Company  believes that the existing cash
and cash  equivalent  balances as well as marketable  securities and anticipated
cash flow from  operations  will be sufficient to support the Company's  working
capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

                                                                              15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------
     (In thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF THE COMPANY AND  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

Company.  Pinnacle  Systems,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries  (the Company)  design,
manufacture  and sell video  post-production  tools for high  quality  real time
video processing.

Basis  of  Presentation.  The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements
include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries.
Intercompany  balances and transactions  have been eliminated in  consolidation.
The Company's  first three fiscal  quarters end on the last Friday in September,
December  and March.  For  financial  statement  presentation,  the  Company has
indicated its fiscal quarters as ending on the month-end.

Cash  and  Marketable  Securities.  The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid
investments  purchased with an original  maturity of three months or less at the
date  of  purchase  to  be  cash  equivalents.   Marketable  securities  consist
principally of government  securities with maturities between three and eighteen
months and are carried at cost which approximates  market. These investments are
typically short-term in nature and therefore bear minimal interest rate risk.
        In May 1993, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  115,  "Accounting  for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities".  The Company adopted the provisions
of SFAS 115 for investments held as of or acquired after July 1, 1994. Under the
provisions  of SFAS No.  115,  debt  securities  that the  Company  has both the
positive  intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized  cost.
Presently,  the Company classifies all debt securities as  held-to-maturity  and
carries them at amortized  cost.  Interest income is recorded using an effective
interest rate,  with the associated  premium or discount  amortized to "Interest
income."  The  adoption  of SFAS No. 115 did not have a  material  impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
        The  fair value of marketable securities is substantially equal to their
carrying  value as of June 30,  1996.  All  investments  at June 30,  1996  were
classified as held-to-maturity. Such investments mature through November 1997.

Inventories.  Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or
market and include a provision for excess and obsolete inventory.  Raw materials
inventory represents purchased materials,  components and assemblies,  including
fully assembled circuit boards purchased from outside vendors.

Property and Equipment.  Purchased  property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation  is provided  using the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated
useful lives of the respective  assets,  generally three to five years. 
        In 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121.
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed of," which requires  recognition of impairment of long-lived  assets
in the event the net book value of such assets  exceeds the future  undiscounted
cash flow attributable to such assets. SFAS No. 121 will become effective in the
Company's  fiscal  1997.  Adoption  of SFAS No.  121 is not  expected  to have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.


20



Employee  Stock Plans.  The Company  accounts for its stock option plans and its
employee  stock  purchase plan in accordance  with  provisions of the Accounting
Principles  Board's  Opinion  (APB) No.  25,  "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued to
Employees." In 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No.
123,  "Accounting  for Stock  Based  Compensation."  SFAS No.  123  provides  an
alternative to APB 25 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,  1995.  The Company  intends to continue to account for its  employee  stock
plans in accordance  with the  provisions of APB 25.  Accordingly,  SFAS No. 123
will not have any impact on the Company's reported financial position or results
of operations.

Revenue  Recognition.  Revenue on product  sales is  recognized  upon  shipment.
Warranty costs are accrued at the time sales are recognized.

Income  Taxes.  Income  taxes are  accounted  for under the asset and  liability
method.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are  recognized for the estimated
future tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial
statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  and  their
respective  tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured using
enacted  tax rates in effect for the year in which those  temporary  differences
are expected to be  recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities  of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share. Net income per share is computed using the weighted
average  number  of  common  shares  and  dilutive   common  stock   equivalents
outstanding  using the treasury stock method.  Dilutive common stock equivalents
include  convertible  preferred stock,  stock options and warrants.  Pursuant to
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 83, common
stock issued for  consideration  below the assumed initial public offering (IPO)
price and stock options  granted with exercise prices below the IPO price during
the 12-month  period  preceding the date of the initial  filing of the Company's
IPO, even when  antidilutive,  have been included in the  calculation  of common
equivalent shares, using the treasury stock method based on the IPO price, as if
they were outstanding for all periods  presented prior to the IPO date. The 1994
net income per share  amounts are  presented  on a pro forma basis using the pro
forma  weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding  and common share
equivalents  outstanding  during the period,  after giving retroactive effect to
the automatic  conversion of all series of preferred stock into shares of common
stock at the IPO date.

Concentration of Credit Risk. The Company  distributes and sells its products to
end  users  primarily   through  a  combination  of  independent   domestic  and
international dealers and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). The Company
performs periodic credit evaluations of its customer's  financial  condition and
generally does not require collateral.

Use of Estimates in  Preparation  of Financial  Statements.  The  preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts of assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  liabilities at
the date of financial  statements and reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                                                              21

the development  stage and existing  software.  The Company acquired  inventory,
accounts  receivable,  and other tangible  property of $240;  intangible  assets
including the Video Director Brand name,  user list, and source code  technology
totaling  $342;  and  in  process  research  and  development  of  $3,991.   The
capitalized  intangible assets and purchased software are being amortized over a
3-year period.

Company  considered,  among  other  factors,  the stage of  development  of each
project, the time and resources needed to complete each project, expected income
and associated  risks.  Associated  risks include the inherent  difficulties and
uncertainties  in  completing  the project and thereby  achieving  technological
feasibility  and risks  related to the  viability  of and  potential  changes in

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- ----------------------------



THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
PINNACLE SYSTEMS, INC.:

We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Pinnacle
Systems,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  as of June 30, 1996 and 1995,  and the related
consolidated statements of operations,  shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
each  of the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  June  30,  1996.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
        We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 consolidated  financial statements referred to above
present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Pinnacle
Systems,  Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year
period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.
