Employee Stock Purchase Plan 9,000 ----------- Total decrease in stockholders' equity $ (281,000) =========== 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has taken several steps to increase its liquidity, which had been significantly reduced by the losses incurred during the past several fiscal years. In August 1998, the Company refinanced its owned New York City real estate generating funds of approximately $4,600,000 after repayment of the existing first mortgages on such properties, closing costs and escrows. These funds were used to repay Term Loan D of the credit facility described below in this item in the amount of $1,600,000, with the balance used for working capital purposes. Additionally, the holders of subordinated debt of the Company related to the acquisition of the mobile facilities company GC& Co. by the Company in 1995, which had been due in August 1998, agreed to a new payment schedule providing for payments of fifty percent of the $650,000 in October 1998 and the balance in six equal installments beginning November 1998. In a third step, another holder of subordinated debt of the Company agreed to restructure its note with the Company by postponing the maturity date from May 1999 to September 1999 and by eliminating principal payments that had been due for the months of April 1998 through April 1999, totaling $450,000. The holder also agreed to add $108,000 of accrued but unpaid interest to the principal balance payable in September 1999. The new terms require that interest only be paid on a current basis effective September 1, 1998 through the September 30, 1999 maturity date. The Company has reduced its cash requirements through cost reductions. Additionally, due to capital expenditures in fiscal years 1996 through 1998 totaling approximately $30,000,000, the Company currently anticipates that capital expenditures in fiscal 1999 will be less than $2,500,000. Capital expenditures were $535,000 (net of proceeds from dispositions of equipment) during the quarter ended November 30, 1998, and consisted of the purchase of production, post production and graphics equipment for use throughout the Company. Net cash provided by operating activities during the quarter ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 was $976,000 and $820,000, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended November 30, 1998 was offset by net cash of $535,000 used in investing activities which consisted of capital expenditures (net of proceeds from asset dispositions), and by net cash used in financing activities of $1,282,000 for debt repayment, resulting in a net decrease in cash available of $841,000. Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended November 30, 1997 was increased by net cash provided from financing activities of $558,000 from additional long term debt and was offset by net cash of $947,000 used in investing activities which consisted of capital expenditures resulting in a net increase in cash available of $431,000 9 In December 1995, the Company entered into a $26 million revolving credit and term loan agreement (the "credit facility") with a financial institution, consisting of an $11 million revolving credit facility and two $7.5 million term loans (Term Loans A and B). In May 1997, Term Loan A was revised by the inclusion of $2,500,000 of the original Term Loan B and the advance of $518,000 of new funds, resulting in a revised Term Loan A balance of $9,000,000. Term Loan A is payable in equal monthly principal installments of $100,000 plus interest, with the balance of $6,000,000 due March 2000. In November 1997 Term Loan B was repaid, in part from the proceeds of a new Term Loan D in the amount of $2,500,000. $3,742,000 of the original Term Loan B was repaid from sales of equipment from the Company's Editel Chicago, Editel New York and Unitel Hollywood divisions. The Company refinanced its New York owned real estate in August 1998 and used a portion of the proceeds of the refinancing to repay Term Loan D and other indebtedness and the balance of the proceeds for working capital purposes. In July 1997 the credit facility was further amended by the issuance of a $5,080,000 letter of credit to secure payment of principal and interest on $5,000,000 principal amount of Allegheny County (Pennsylvania) Industrial Development Authority Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds (the "Bonds"). The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds were loaned to the Company and were used by the Company to build a new digital mobile teleproduction unit. The credit facility requires quarterly principal payments of $179,000 commencing December 1998 in respect of the Bonds. The Bonds mature on July 1, 2009 and, to the extent not previously redeemed in full, are required to be repaid by the Company on that date. In December 1997 a second series of Bonds were issued in an amount of $3,500,000. The proceeds of the second series of Bonds were used to finance the construction of a second digital mobile unit. The credit facility requires quarterly principal payments of $125,000 commencing February 1999 in respect of this second series of Bonds which also mature on July 1, 2009. The terms of the credit facility with the financial institution provide that the lender receive a first lien on all property and equipment and accounts receivable that are not encumbered by another lender. The Company has at certain times during the quarter ended November 30, 1998 not been in compliance with certain of the financial covenants contained in the credit facility and the lender has waived such non-compliance. In addition, the Company has at certain times during the quarter ended November 30, 1998 been in arrears on certain other indebtedness. The Company is currently in discussions with various lenders to refinance the credit facility and make available to the Company additional working capital. The Company is also in negotiations to restructure the repayment terms of certain of its other long-term debt. The Company anticipates that the steps enumerated above in this item together with funds generated from operations and proceeds from the sale of selected fixed assets no longer useful in the Company's business will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated working capital and investment needs in fiscal 1999. 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales were $12,322,000 and $13,768,000 for the quarters ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, resulting in a decrease from the same period of the prior year. The decrease in sales of $1,446,000 in the quarter ended November 30, 1998 is primarily attributable to the following three areas of the Company's business. First, the consolidation of the Company's two New York City based post-production facilities into a single facility at Unitel Post 38 resulted in a decrease in sales of approximately $600,000 from the closing of the Unitel Post 57 facility and the elimination of the interactive segment of the Company's post-production business. Second, sales of the Company's mobile division declined approximately $400,000 as a result of pass-through costs being eliminated from mobile division billing and absorbed directly by the Company's clients. Although mobile division sales were lower in the quarter ended November 30, 1998 compared to sales for that division in the quarter ended November 30, 1997, results of operations for that division were the same in both the quarters ended November 30, 1998 and November 30, 1997. Third, sales for the Company's Editel Los Angeles division declined approximately $400,000 as a result of the loss of the Company's business in connection with the Star Trek television series in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company's net loss for the quarter ended November 30, 1998 was ($299,000) compared to a net loss of ($456,000) for the quarter ended November 30, 1997. The comparative decrease in the net loss of approximately $157,000 for the quarter ended November 30, 1998 compared to the quarter ended November 30, 1997 is principally due to the improvement in the results of the New York post production operation resulting from the closure of the Unitel Post 57 facility and improvements in the New York studio division. These improvements were offset by a loss in the Editel Los Angeles division caused by a decrease in sales. Production costs, the main component of cost of sales, consist primarily of direct labor, equipment maintenance expenses and occupancy costs. The Company's production costs, as a percentage of sales, were 65% for the quarter ended November 30, 1998, as compared to 67% for the quarter ended November 30, 1997. The decrease in production costs for the quarter ended November 30, 1998 compared with the same period of the prior year is primarily due to the efficiencies achieved from an increase in sales without a proportionate increase in costs at the Company's Unitel Post 38 facility as a result of the closure of the Company's Unitel Post 57 facility and the relocation of a significant portion of that facility's customer base to the Unitel Post 38 facility. Depreciation, as a percentage of sales, was 17.0% and 15.6% for the quarters ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Had gain on sale of equipment of $240,000 been excluded from depreciation expense for the quarter ended November 30, 1998, depreciation as a percentage of sales would have been 19.0% compared with 15.6% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the quarter ended November 30, 1998 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily a result of the introduction of a digital mobile teleproduction unit in the quarter ended February 28, 1998. Additionally, the Company retained the majority of the equipment previously used at the Company's Post 57 facility that was closed in the third quarter of the Company's 1998 fiscal year. Selling expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the quarters ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 were 2.2% and 2.6%, respectively. The decrease in the quarter ended November 30, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended November 30, 1997 is due to a decrease in the Company's overall sales staff primarily as a result of the closure of the Unitel Post 57 facility in May 1998. Also, promotional expenses were higher in the quarter ended 11 November 30, 1997 due to the introduction of one of the Company's new digital mobile teleproduction units. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the quarters ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 were 9.7% and 11.8%, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the greater decrease in expense in relation to the decrease in sales. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $400,000 primarily from reductions in corporate expenses, bad debt allowances and professional fees. Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, for the quarters ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 was 8.5% and 6.5%, respectively. Interest expense for the quarter ended November 30, 1998 increased approximately $140,000 compared to the quarter ended November 30, 1997 primarily from new debt added as of August 31, 1998, partially offset by normal principal reductions on older debt. The Company's effective tax rate was 0% for the first quarter of fiscal years 1999 and 1998. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 is less than the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards generated by the losses incurred in fiscal 1998 and prior years. YEAR 2000 UPDATE General The Company's company-wide Year 2000 Project (the "Project") is proceeding on schedule. The purpose of the Project is to evaluate the ability of computer programs (software) and embedded chips to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000. The Project has been underway since the middle of calendar year 1998, is proceeding on schedule and is expected to be completed by the middle of calendar year 1999. While many different types of equipment and software products may be prone to the Year 2000 problem, major emphasis is being placed on those items considered to be material to the operation of the Company's business. The Company's primary business is to provide services to the video and film communications industry for the recording, editing, creation of digital effects and duplication of television programs, commercials, corporate communications and feature films. Because the various operating divisions of the Company share much of the software and hardware necessary to provide these services, Year 2000 research done at one division is largely applicable at the Company's other divisions. This fact will greatly simplify the process of evaluating the impact of Year 2000 issues on the Company's business and minimize the costs to the Company involved in becoming Year 2000 compliant. 12 Project The Company's Project is divided into four major sections: 1. Administrative Functions - accounts payable, accounts receivable, client scheduling, purchasing and payroll. 2. Technical Services - equipment/systems, software packages, interconnectivity issues. 3. Infrastructure - personal computers (PC's and MAC's), owned telephone system equipment, networks (Novell, Microsoft), office equipment, etc. 4. External Services Vendors - 401K/health care management, payroll services, property/liability insurance providers, etc. Administrative Functions: The accounts payable, accounts receivable and client scheduling tasks at most divisions of the Company are provided by industry standard software applications, for example J.D. Edwards Accounting Package or Xytech Systems (Xymox), or both, depending on the division. Both J.D. Edwards and Xytech Systems have available Year 2000 upgrade programs and the Company anticipates these will be installed in early calendar year 1999. Standard PC based applications, used for these and other applications, are either currently compliant or are expected to have suitable upgrades available in early calendar year 1999. Similarly, the payroll services vendor expects to have Year 2000 software available early in calendar year 1999. These will be purchased by the Company as soon as they become available. Technical Services: The Company utilizes technical hardware from various vendors to provide a wide range of services to its clients. All divisions have been compiling lists of equipment considered critical to their operations. Based on written responses from various vendors, the Company has been advised that the majority of these items are either Year 2000 compliant or not affected by Year 2000 issues. Some software packages utilized on Silicon Graphics and Apple platforms are still being evaluated with respect to Year 2000 issues, but since these items are routinely upgraded by the Company as part of its ongoing operations to insure that the Company is staying current with technology it is anticipated that the Year 2000 issues in such cases should be minimal. Furthermore, the products produced by the Company for its clients are delivered to the client at the conclusion of a job and such products are not thereafter affected by Year 2000 issues. Therefore, Year 2000 compliance is not considered a material issue for already completed client work. All critical equipment and software products utilized in the production of client material will have been certified, either through testing by the Company or vendor representation, to be Year 2000 compliant or not affected by Year 2000 issues by the middle of calendar year 1999. 13 Infrastructure: It is expected that general purpose PC workstations purchased within the past 12 months should be able to recognize the date change to the Year 2000. A comprehensive checklist is being prepared that will assist each division in determining which PCs need to have some form of upgrade. Some older PCs may require replacement, or may be upgraded through inexpensive after-market clock upgrades. Also being evaluated are Company owned telephone systems which contain embedded chips which may be date sensitive. To date, all telephone systems checked have been found to be either Year 2000 compliant or not affected by the Year 2000 issue. Novell or Microsoft computer network products have upgrades available supplied and represented by the vendor to be Year 2000 compliant which will be installed by the Company by the middle of calendar 1999. Other general purpose office equipment such as copy machines and fax machines are being evaluated but are not considered to be material. External Services Vendors: The Company utilizes numerous outside vendors for management of such services as payroll, health care benefits, 401K administration and insurance coverages. All of these vendors are being asked to supply a written statement concerning Year 2000 compliance and a general scope of appropriate needed actions, costs, and time-frames. This part of the Project is expected to be completed by the middle of calendar 1999. Costs The total cost of the Year 2000 Project is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position. Because some investigation is still ongoing, total costs can only be estimated. Based on mission critical hardware and software upgrade costs that are known, and reasonable expectations of results from further testing, the total cost of the Project is not expected to exceed $100,000 Company-wide and will be expensed as incurred. Risks The Company supplies a wide range of services to its clients. Once those services are delivered, whether on videotape, CD Rom, computer disk, or other media, Year 2000 compliance is no longer a concern. Since it has already been determined that much of the hardware and software material to the internal operation of the Company's business is or will be compliant, there appears to be minimal risk to the internal operations of the Company due to the Year 2000 issue. This does not include any serious problems or outages caused by Year 2000 problems that could exist at local utilities that supply telephone, electrical, natural gas and similar services or with external services vendors. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of outside vendors or clients, the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. However, the Company's internal Project is expected to significantly reduce the level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem particularly with respect to the effect on the Company of the readiness of its vendors. It is the opinion of the Company that, with the installation of new equipment which the Company is advised to be Year 2000 compliant 14 and the completion of the Project as scheduled, the possibility of significant interruptions of normal operations should be significantly reduced. Contingency Plan Based on the Company's expectation that Year 2000 issues will be adequately addressed by the scheduled completion of the Project, no contingency plans have been formulated. In the event an unexpected Year 2000 problem is discovered that will affect either the completion or delivery of client material, the Company expects that a sufficient number of alternative production methods exist in the industry to mitigate any substantial problems. THIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH ARE BASED UPON CURRENT EXPECTATIONS AND INVOLVE CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK. The Company is exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect to its credit facility with a financial institution which is priced based on the prime rate of interest. At November 30, 1998 $12,172,000 was outstanding under the credit facility. Changes in the prime interest rate during fiscal 1998 will have a positive or negative effect on the Company's interest expense. Each 1% fluctuation in the prime interest rate will increase or decrease interest expense for the Company by approximately $122,000 annually. In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect to the Bonds in the amount of $8,500,000. The Bonds bear interest at a floating rate established weekly by the remarketing agent. During fiscal 1999 the interest rate on the Bonds approximated 3.5%. Each 1% fluctuation in the interest rate on the Bonds will increase or decrease interest expense on the Bonds by approximately $85,000 annually. The impact of interest rate fluctuations on other floating rate debt of the Company and foreign exchange fluctuation on the Company's Canadian subsidiary is not material. 15 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
