(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)
(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such
shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
identify report(s). |X| Yes |_| No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period
for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion thereof? |X| Yes | | No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and,
if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company anticipates that it will recognize an estimated loss of approximately $3.895 million for its August 31, 1996
fiscal year end as compared to a reported loss of $1.438 million for its fiscal year end 1995. The increase in operating
losses in 1996 reflect the cessation of operations at its Alexandria, Inc. subsidiary and significantly increased game
development and production expenses at its Off World Entertainment, Inc. (dba Odd World Inhabitants) subsidiary. The
financial statements will, however, contain a footnote detailing subsequent events outlining the successful completion of
the divestiture of Off World Entertainment, Inc. effective September 13, 1996 (CPTV's fiscal first quarter 1997) for
$6.8 million less certain debt obligations approximating $500,000 and other transactional expenses. The divestiture is
expected to generate a substantial gain for CPTV in its fiscal first quarter ended November 30, 1996.
