NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
October 31, 1997
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended October 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending January 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the audited
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1997. Prior
period financial statements have been restated to reflect the acquisition on
June 28, 1996 of Satastar Corporate Services, Inc. which was accounted for as a
pooling of interests. (See Note B)
NOTE B - MERGER WITH SATASTAR CORPORATE SERVICES, INC.
Satastar Corporate Services, Inc. (dba PVS Corporate Services), a videotape
duplicator located in Chicago, Illinois, was merged with the Company on June 28,
1996 by the issuance of 165,357 shares of common stock, $.10 par value, in
exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Satastar Corporate
Services, Inc. The business combination has been accounted for as a pooling of
interest, and, accordingly, the financial statements have been restated to
include the combined results of operations from the date Satastar commenced
operations.
Included in results of operations for the period ended October 31, 1996 are the
following results of the previously separate companies for the period of
February 1, 1996 to June 28, 1996:

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS
On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Certified Media Corporation, a compact disc ("CD") replicator
located in Fremont, California. The initial purchase price was $5,500,000,
including $2,800,000 of cash, 171,210 shares of Vaughn Communications, Inc.
common stock valued at $1,200,000, and long-term debt to the sellers of
$1,500,000. The purchase price may be increased to a maximum of $8,000,000
depending upon Certified Media's attaining certain financial objectives through
January 31, 1999. Goodwill recorded in this transaction is being amortized over
15 years using the straight-line method.
Also on July 31, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of Dub South, a
videotape duplicator located in Atlanta, Georgia. The noncontingent purchase
price included $311,000 of cash and the assumption of approximately $439,000 of
liabilities. The purchase price may be increased by an additional $1,200,000,
depending on the profit performance for the next five years. There was no
goodwill recorded on this transaction.
Both acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting,
and the consolidated financial statements for the period ended October 31, 1997,
reflect the purchase of the businesses, and include any results from operations
since the transactions were completed.
The pro forma unaudited results of operations, assuming consummation of all
acquisitions as of February 1, 1996, are as follows:

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February, 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result in no change
in primary earnings per share for the third quarter ended October 31, 1997 and
1996. The impact is expected to result in an increase of $.01 and $.04 per
share for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share
for these quarters is not expected to be material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Certified Media Corporation, a compact disc ("CD") replicator
located in Fremont, California. The initial purchase price of $5,500,000
included $2,800,000 of cash, $1,500,000 of long-term debt to the sellers, and
171,210 shares of Vaughn Communications, Inc. common stock valued at $1,200,000.
The purchase price may be increased to a maximum of $8,000,000 in the event
certain financial objectives are met, or likewise, the price could be reduced if
certain objectives are not met. The Company will now be able to offer our
customers CD replication services, along with its videotape duplication and
other related services such as printing, packaging, graphics design and
fulfillment services.
Also on July 31, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets from Dub South, a
videotape duplicator located in Atlanta, Georgia. The non-contingent purchase
price included $311,000 of cash and the assumption of $439,000 of long-term
debt. The purchase price may be increased by $1,200,000 in the event certain
financial objectives are met.
Both acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting,
and the consolidated financial statements for the period ended October 31, 1997
include the results from operations as of the date of the acquisitions.
Net sales increased 15% in the third quarter of 1997 to $18,855,000, an increase
of approximately $2,485,000 from the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine
months of 1997 sales were approximately $56,301,000, a 4% increase over sales of
$53,985,000 for the same period the previous year. Gross margins in the third
quarter remained at 32% for both years, while year-to-date gross margins were
33% for both years. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales have remained
relatively consistent for the periods being reported, while interest expense has
increased slightly due to additional debt associated with the acquisitions. Net
income increased 16% in the third quarter of 1997 to $399,000, while for the
first nine months of 1997, net income increased 6% to $1,744,000. The
contribution each division made to these results is discussed below.
COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION
The Communications Division's net sales increased 20% to $17,763,000 for the
quarter ended October 31, 1997 from $14,791,000 for the quarter ended October
31, 1996. For the nine months ended October 31, 1997, sales were $45,593,000,
an increase of 9% over sales of $41,724,000 for the same period the previous
year. The increase in sales in the third quarter of 1997 was due in part to the
acquisitions which were completed on July 31, 1997. Excluding these
acquisitions, sales increased approximately $414,000, or 3%, over the previous
year's third quarter. Year-to-date sales also increased 3% over the previous
year, when adjusted for the acquisitions.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales declined slightly in the third quarter of
1997 to 34% compared to 35% in the previous year's third quarter. The decline
was due to lower margins being realized on the sale of CD replication.
Year-to-date gross margins have increased from 33% in 1996 to 34% in 1997.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 24.4% and 26.5% respectively
for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1997, compared to 25.3% and
26.5%, respectively, for the same periods in 1996. Total operating expenses
increased from $3,740,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to $4,338,000 in the
third quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of the acquisitions.
Net interest expense increased from $207,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to
$292,000 in the third quarter of 1997 due to additional debt associated with the
acquisitions. Net interest is approximately the same for the first nine months
of both years.
Pretax income in the third quarter of 1997 was approximately $1,356,000, a 12%
increase over the third quarter of 1996. Year-to-date pretax income of
$2,753,000 in 1997 is 27% greater than the same period last year.
- 6 -
PRODUCTS DIVISION
The Products Division's net sales decreased by 30% in the third quarter of 1997
from $1,579,000 in 1996 to $1,092,000. The decrease was due in part to the UPS
strike in August which resulted in a loss of approximately $300,000 in sales.
For the nine month period, sales have declined from $12,262,000 in 1996 to
$10,708,000 in 1997, a reduction of 13%. The lower sales volume and a
corresponding reduction in the leveraging of fixed expenses has resulted in a
decline in gross margin percentage from 29% for the nine months ended October
31, 1996 to 27% for the nine months ended October 31, 1997. Operating expenses
for the nine month period have declined from $2,763,000 in 1996 to $2,484,000 in
1997 as a result of cost containment programs that have been implemented. As a
result of the decrease in sales and gross margins, pretax income for the nine
months ended October 31, has declined from $680,000 in 1996 to $231,000 in
1997. For the third quarter, the net loss increased from $612,000 in 1996 to
$673,000 in 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The Company's principal sources of liquidity continue to be operating income,
long-term debt secured by specific equipment, and its revolving credit facility.
At October 31, 1997, approximately $3,177,000 of this facility was available
compared to $5,300,000 at October 31, 1996. The primary reason for the decrease
was the additional borrowing of $2,800,000 used to fund the acquisition of
Certified Media. The Company believes that the liquidity provided by the
sources described above will be adequate to meet its normal operating
requirements over the near term. The Company continues to investigate potential
acquisitions and divestitures; and, depending on the size and structure of the
transaction, additional funding may be required or generated. As of November
30, 1997, no definitive agreements have been reached regarding any such
transactions.
