STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Directors are required by the Companies Act 1985 to prepare financial
statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the Company and the Group at the end of the financial
period and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. It is also
the Directors' responsibility to maintain adequate accounting records,
safeguard the assets of the Company and the Group and prevent and detect
fraud and other irregularities. The Directors confirm that suitable
accounting policies, consistently applied and supported by reasonable and
prudent judgements and estimates have been used in the preparation of the
financial statements on the going concern basis and that applicable
accounting standards have been followed.
GOING CONCERN
After making enquiries, the Directors have formed a judgement at the
time of approving the financial statements that there is a reasonable
expectation that the Company and Group have adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this
reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
- --------------------
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE OF BEST PRACTICE
Throughout the year the Company complied with all the applicable provisions
of the Code of Best Practice issued by the Committee on the Financial
Aspects of Corporate Governance ("The Cadbury Committee") and with Section
A and has given full consideration to Schedule B of the Best Practice
Provisions annexed to the Listing Rules. The Remuneration Committee's
report to shareholders can be found on pages 12 to 14. The Directors'
statements on other aspects of corporate governance are set out below.
BOARD COMPOSITION
The Board of Directors comprises three executive and four non-executive
Directors and meets regularly throughout the year. The Board is responsible
for Group strategy, acquisition and divestment policy, approval of major
capital expenditure projects and consideration of significant financing
matters. It reviews the strategic direction of individual trading
subsidiaries, their annual budgets, their progress towards achievement of
those budgets and their capital expenditure programmes.
BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee,
both with defined terms of reference.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee, comprising Mr Paul, Mr Rowsell and Mr Duncan meets at
least twice a year. It has been established to monitor the adequacy of

the Committee's report on pages 12 to 14.

- --------------------------------
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (CONTINUED)
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL
The Directors are responsible for ensuring that Tele-Cine Cell Group plc
maintains a system of internal financial controls. The system is designed
to ensure the maintenance of proper accounting records, the safeguarding of
the Group's assets and the reliability of the financial information used
within the business or for publication. Any such system can only provide
reasonable, and not absolute, protection against mis-statement or loss.
The Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal
financial controls which includes:
- clear responsibility on the part of all managers for the maintenance
of good financial controls and the production of detailed, timely and
accurate management information;
- monthly Board meetings to exercise control and direction over
strategic, financial, organisational and compliance issues for the
Group and receive reports on subsidiary Company performance by the
respective Managing Directors;
- monthly financial reporting to the Board including the monitoring of
performance targets and the identification of exceptional costs or
losses;
- due diligence appraisal and approval by the Board of significant
investment and capital expenditure projects;
- delegation of responsibility to operational management within an
appropriate organisation structure together with the definition of
authorisation limits for transactions and segregation of duties to
minimise exposure to loss or fraud; and
- procedures to ensure the reliability and security of data processing
systems.

REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
- ------------------------------------
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Throughout the year the Company complied with Section A and has given full
consideration to Section B of the Best Practice Provisions on remuneration
committees as annexed to the Listing Rules.
The Committee has minuted a decision that the members in Annual General
Meeting need not be invited to approve the remuneration policy set out in
this report. The Chairman of the Committee will, however, be available to
answer questions on any aspects of the remuneration policy at the Annual
General Meeting.
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Committee consists solely of three non-executive directors: Mr Paul, Mr
Rowsell and Mr Duncan, under the chairmanship of Mr Paul. None of the
members of the Committee has any personal financial interests (other than
as shareholders and arms length trading relationships), conflicts of
interest arising from cross-directorships or day-to-day involvement in
running the business. The Committee consults the Group Managing Director
about its proposals and has access to professional advice from inside and
outside the Company.
REMUNERATION POLICY ON EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION
Executive remuneration packages are designed to attract, motivate and
retain Directors of the high calibre needed to maintain the Company's
position as a market leader and to reward them for enhancing value to
shareholders. The performance measurement of the executive directors and
the determination of their annual remuneration package is undertaken by the
Committee. No Director plays a part in any discussion about his own
remuneration.
MAIN COMPONENTS OF REMUNERATION PACKAGES
BASIC SALARY
Basic salaries for an executive Director are determined by the Committee
after taking into account the performance of the individual and the rates
of salary for similar jobs in comparable companies. Executive Directors may
also receive the benefit of health insurance and company cars.
ANNUAL BONUSES
The Board believes that any incentive compensation awarded should be tied
to the interests of the Company's shareholders and that the principal
measure of those interests is the financial performance of the Company.
Annual bonus payments for Messrs Rowland and Brocksom are determined in
accordance with the rules of the Tele-Cine Cell Group plc Executive
Directors' Bonus Scheme. The Remuneration Committee administers the scheme
and all payments are made at the discretion of the Committee. Under the
terms of the Scheme, Messrs Rowland and Brocksom are entitled to a bonus
payment based on the increase in the Group's earnings per share, compared
to the increase in the Retail Prices Index for the relevant period. Bonuses
under this scheme are capped at 33% of basic salary.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement in respect of XTV Limited, Mr
Cole is entitled to participate in a bonus scheme, under which the payments
are determined by the results of XTV Cell Limited.
No bonus payments were made in respect of the results for the year ended 31
December 1997.
SHARE OPTIONS
The Committee believes that share ownership by executive Directors and
senior executives strengthens the link between their personal interests and
those of shareholders. The Committee intends to continue to grant share
options to the executive directors (other than significant shareholders)
and senior executives in such a manner as to motivate and incentivise them
to produce long term benefits for the Group.

- ------------------------------------------------
REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE (CONTINUED)

schemes in respect of Messrs Rowland and Brocksom, but not Mr Cole.

the year.

except that such notice may not expire prior to 31 December 1998.

Under the terms of his contract of employment Mr Brocksom is entitled to be

price prevailing at the time his employment with the Company commenced.
On 17 January 1998, Mr O'Hagan resigned as a Director and received a sum of
L34,000 together with the transfer of his car, which had a net book value
of L3,000, in settlement of the liabilities of the Company under his
service contract. Mr O'Hagan's expertise remains available to the Group
under a consultancy agreement for 12 months from the date of resignation at
a fee of L5,350 per month.
The market price of the Company's shares at 31 December 1997 was 47p and
the highest and lowest market prices were 54p and 29p respectively.
THE TODD-AO CORPORATION
This report coincides with the announcement that Todd-AO Europe Holding
Company Limited, a subsidiary of The Todd-AO Corporation ("Todd"), has made
a recommended offer of 80p per share for all of the issued share capital of
Tele-Cine Cell Group plc. If this offer becomes unconditional in all
respects, the Company will become a subsidiary of Todd, and a number of
changes to the directors and their terms of service, to be highlighted in
the offer document, will be made.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS
- ----------------------
to the members of Tele-cine Cell Group plc
We have audited the financial statements on pages 18 to 35, which have been
prepared under the accounting policies set out on pages 22 and 23, and the
detailed information which is specified by the London Stock Exchange to be
audited in respect of Directors' remuneration and share options schemes set
out in the Directors' remuneration paragraph of the report to shareholders
by the Remuneration Committee on pages 12 to 14.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As described on page 6 the Company's Directors are responsible for the
preparation of financial statements. It is our responsibility to form an
independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report
our opinion to you.
BASIS OF OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis,
of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and
judgements made by the Directors in the preparation of the financial
statements and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the
circumstances of the Company and the Group, consistently applied and
adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or
other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the
overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial
statements.
OPINION
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 1997 and of
the loss of the Group for the year then ended and have been properly
prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.

REVIEW REPORT OF THE AUDITORS
- -----------------------------
to Tele-cine Cell Group plc by Deloitte & Touche on Corporate Governance Matters
In addition to our audit of the financial statements, we have reviewed the
Directors' statements on pages 10 and 11 on the Company's compliance with
the paragraphs of the Code of Best Practice specified for our review by the
London Stock Exchange and their adoption of the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements. The objective of our review is to draw
attention to non-compliance with Listing Rules 12.43 (j) and 12.43 (v). We
have also reviewed the statement of compliance with Section A of the Best
Practice Provisions on remuneration committees and the report of the
Remuneration Committee to the shareholders set out on pages 12 to 14 to the
extent that they provide the disclosures specified by the Listing Rules.
BASIS OF OPINION
We carried out our review in accordance with guidance issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. That guidance does not require us to perform the
additional work necessary to, and we do not, express any opinion on the
effectiveness of either the Company's system of internal financial control
or its corporate governance procedures or on the appropriateness of the
bases used in determining Directors' remuneration or on the ability of the
Company to continue in operational existence.
OPINION
With respect to the Directors' statement on internal financial control on
page 11, and going concern on page 6, in our opinion the Directors have
provided the disclosures required by the Listing Rules referred to above
and such statements are not inconsistent with the information of which we
are aware from our audit work on the financial statements.
Based on enquiry of certain Directors and officers of the Company, and
examination of the relevant documents, in our opinion the Directors'
statement on page 10 appropriately reflects the Company's compliance with
the other paragraphs of the Code specified for our review by Listing Rule
12.43 (j). Also on this basis, in our opinion the Directors' statement of
compliance with Section A of the Best Practice Provisions on remuneration
committees and the report of the Remuneration Committee appropriately
provide the disclosures specified by the Listing Rules and are not
inconsistent with the information of which we have become aware from our
audit work on the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
- ---------------------
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards. The following are the accounting policies used by the Group.
ACCOUNTING CONVENTION
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The group accounts consolidate the accounts of the Company and all
subsidiaries for the financial year ended 31 December 1997. The accounts of
the Group's associated undertaking have been excluded from the
consolidation on the grounds that it would be immaterial for the purposes
of giving a true and fair view.
GOODWILL ARISING ON ACQUISITIONS
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary companies is written off
to reserves in the year of acquisition. XTV Limited was acquistion
accounted upon the purchase of the balance of the issued share capital
[note 19].
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation in respect of all fixed assets is provided at the following
rates on a straight line basis. The rates used are expected to write off
the cost, less any estimated residual value, of each asset over its
expected useful life.
- Plant & equipment, improvements to premises and office furniture &
equipment are depreciated at rates of 15-33% per annum.
- Motor vehicles are depreciated at 20% per annum.
- The leasehold properties will be written off over the remaining years
of the leases, which expire in years 2000 to 2011.
STOCKS
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
DEFERRED TAXATION
Deferred taxation is provided on timing differences arising from the
different treatment of items for accounting and taxation purposes, which
are expected to reverse in the future, calculated at the rates at which it
is estimated that tax will arise.
TURNOVER
Turnover is the amount derived from the provision of goods and services
falling within the Group's ordinary activities. This includes the provision
of goods and services to clients on certain projects where the income
receivable is contingent on the timing of amounts receivable by the client.
Income is only recognised on such projects when, in the opinion of the
Directors, there is a justifiable expectation of such income being received
within the foreseeable future. These balances are classified as investment
in programming.
INVESTMENT IN PROGRAMMING
The investment in programming and copyright interest is stated at the lower
of cost and net realisable value. The investment is written down as income
is received until the investment is fully recouped. An assessment is made
at each balance sheet date by the Directors to determine whether provision
is required to reduce the carrying value of the investment in programming
to net realisable value. Balances as at 31 December 1996 to the value of
L304,000 in respect of such investments have been restated from trade
debtors.
PENSIONS
The Group operates a defined contribution scheme covering the majority of
its employees, the assets of which are held separately from those of the
Group, by an insurance company. The costs of providing pensions are charged
to the profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred.
Contributions payable to the fund at 31 December 1997 amounted to L44,000
(1996 - L20,000).
LEASES
Rental costs under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss
account in equal annual amounts over the periods of the lease.
INVESTMENTS
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any
permanent diminution in value.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS CONTINUED
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Trading results and assets and liabilities of overseas associated
undertakings are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into sterling at the rates ruling at the dates of
the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates at that
date. These translation differences are dealt with in the profit and loss
account.
2. COMPANY PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
In accordance with the provisions of section 230 Companies Act 1985, the
profit and loss account for the Company is not included in these accounts.
The retained profit after taxation but before dividends payable dealt with
in the accounts of the Company was L18,000 (1996 - profit L463,000) for the
year.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS CONTINUED
9. (LOSSES)/EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE
The calculation of (losses)/earnings per ordinary share is based on the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue throughout the year of
11,849,000 (1996 - 11,772,000) and on losses attributable to ordinary
shareholders (after deduction of preference dividends) of L1,196,000 (1996
- profit of L525,000). No material dilution of (losses)/earnings per share
would arise if all share options were exercised and shares to be issued
were issued.

XTV Limited commenced trading on 1 January 1997 with an issued share
capital of L100 and the Group had a 50% interest at that time. The other
50% of the issued share capital was acquired in November 1997 (note 19).
Following the acquisition of the balance of the shares, the business of XTV
Limited was transfered to XTV Cell Limited (formerly called Cell Animation
Limited).
Cell Scandinavia ApS commenced trading in October 1996 and its first
accounting period ended on 31 December 1997. Its unaudited accounts to 31
December 1997 disclose a loss of L171,000 for the period then ended. The
group guarantees the bank loans and overdraft and a finance lease of Cell
Scandinavia ApS jointly and severally with the other shareholders and has
an obligation to repurchase certain plant used in the business bought on a
finance lease. Provision has been made for the estimated liability that
would occur if the business ceased to trade (note 17). The Group intends to
exit from its involvement with Cell Scandinavia ApS.
The Group guaranteed during the year ended 31 December 1997 the bank
overdraft of 2010 Media Group Limited up to a value of L60,000. This
guarantee ceased on 17 February 1998. In the opinion of the Directors, 2010
Media Group Limited should not be equity accounted as there is one
shareholder in that company who holds 64% of the voting rights and the
Group is not involved in the financial and operating policy decisions of
the company.
The proportion of voting rights held in respect of Cell Scandinavia ApS and
2010 Media Group Limited is the same as the proportion of ordinary shares
held.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS CONTINUED
19. ACQUISITION OF XTV LIMITED (continued)
In the period from 1 January 1997 to 7 November 1997, XTV Limited had
turnover of L990,000 and profit before taxation of L110,000. Following the
acquisition of the remaining 50% interest, the business of XTV Limited was
merged together with that of Cell Animation Limited which changed its name
to XTV Cell Limited. As a consequence, separate profit and loss and
cashflow figures are not available for the period after acquisition. The
Directors do not consider this omission to be material.
No fair value adjustments were required to XTV Limited's net asset value.

capital and the right to rank ahead of the ordinary shares on a winding up
or return of capital. The shares carry no right to vote.
On 7 November 1997 460,000 ordinary shares of 5p each with an aggregate
nominal value of L23,000 and on 13 January 1998 212,766 ordinary shares of

Pro Forma Financial Information
THE TODD-AO CORPORATION AND
TELE-CINE CELL GROUP plc.
PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
I. Balance Sheet as of February 28, 1998.
II. Statements of income for the year ended August 31, 1997 and the six months
ended February 28, 1998.
III. Footnotes to Financial Statements.
Todd-AO Europe Holding Ltd. ("Buyer"), a wholly owned United Kingdom
subsidiary of Todd-AO Corporation ("Todd-AO") purchased substantially all of the
outstanding shares of Tele-Cine Cell Group plc. ("Tele-Cine")(a U.K.
Corporation) on May 8, 1998. The purchase price of the shares was L10,955
($17,857) of which L9,601 ($15,650) was paid in cash and L1,354 ($2,207) is
represented by loan notes. The following pro forma condensed financial
information and explanatory notes are presented to show the estimated pro forma
effect of the acquisition of Tele-Cine on Todd-AO's historical results of
operations. The acquisition is reflected in the pro forma condensed financial
information using the purchase method of accounting.
The Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of February 28, 1998 assumes the
acquisition was consummated on that date. The Pro Forma Condensed Income
Statements assume the acquisition was consummated on September 1, 1996 as to the
twelve months ended August 31, 1997 and on September 1, 1997 for the six months
ended February 28, 1998. Such Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information is not
necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations as
they may be in the future or as they might have been had the acquisition been
effected on the assumed dates.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information
and upon certain assumptions that management of Todd-AO believes are reasonable.
The Tele-Cine acquisition will be recorded based upon the estimated fair market
value of the net assets acquired at the date of the acquisition. The adjustments
included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements
represent the Company's preliminary estimates based upon available information.
Although Todd-AO does not believe that such preliminary estimates will differ
significantly from the actual adjustments, no assurance can be given.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements are based
on the historical financial statements of each of Todd-AO and Tele-Cine and the
assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Todd-AO
believes that the assumptions on which the unaudited pro forma financial
statements are based are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and do not
purport to represent what the Company's financial position or results of
operations actually would have been if the foregoing transactions occurred as of
the dates indicated or what such results will be for any future periods.
The Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Todd-AO, the
audited historical financial statements and notes thereto of Tele-Cine filed
with this amendment to report, and the notes to the Pro Forma Condensed
Financial Information.
