See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements 4 POINT.360 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2001 NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY Point.360 (the "COMPANY") is a leading provider of video and film asset management services to owners, producers and distributors of entertainment and advertising content. The Company provides the services necessary to edit, master, reformat, digitize, archive and ultimately distribute its clients' video content. The Company provides physical and electronic delivery of commercials, movie trailers, electronic press kits, infomercials and syndicated programming to thousands of broadcast outlets worldwide. The Company operates in one reportable segment. The Company provides worldwide electronic distribution, using fiber optics and satellites. Additionally, the Company provides a broad range of video services, including the duplication of video in all formats, element storage, standards conversions, closed captioning and transcription services and video encoding for air play verification purposes. The Company also provides its customers value-added post production, editing and digital media services. The Company seeks to capitalize on growth in demand for the services related to the distribution of entertainment content, without assuming the production or ownership risk of any specific television program, feature film or other form of content. The primary users of the Company's services are entertainment studios and advertising agencies that generally choose to outsource such services due to the sporadic demand of any single customer for such services and the fixed costs of maintaining a high-volume physical plant. Since January 1, 1997, the Company has successfully completed eight acquisitions of companies providing similar services. The Company will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities to enhance its operations and profitability. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company believes it is one of the largest and most diversified providers of technical and distribution services to the entertainment and advertising industries, and is therefore able to offer its customers a single source for such services at prices that reflect the Company's scale economies. The accompanying restated and unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for reporting interim financial footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The effect of applying this Staff Accounting Bulletin has been accounted for as a change in accounting principle, with a cumulative charge of $322,000, or $0.03 per share, being recorded on that date. Previously, the Company had recognized revenues from certain post production services as work was performed. Under SAB 101, the Company now recognizes these revenues when all services have been completed. As a result of adopting SAB 101, revenue recognized in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000, which was included in the cumulative effect adjustment, was $555,000. 5 Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("FAS 133"). The standard, as amended, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in other income. See Note 6 for further detail. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 141 and 142, "BUSINESS COMBINATIONS" and "GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS" ("FAS 141" and "FAS 142", respectively). FAS 141 replaces Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16. It also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets and accounting for negative goodwill. FAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives ("goodwill") from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Under FAS 142, goodwill will be tested annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. FAS 141 and FAS 142 are effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Upon adoption of FAS 142, amortization of goodwill recorded for business combinations consummated prior to July 1, 2001 will cease, and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 that do not meet the criteria for recognition under FAS No. 141 will be reclassified to goodwill. The Company will be required to perform a transitional goodwill impairment assessment. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting FAS 141 and FAS 142. NOTE 3 - RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During 2002, the Company restated 2001 quarterly financial statements to (i) allocate certain year-end adjustments to other than the fourth quarter of 2001, (ii) correct the quarterly amortization of other intangibles associated with an acquired company and (iii) correct the transition adjustment and the required subsequent amortization into earnings resulting from the adoption of FAS 133 for an interest rate swap contract. These adjustments for the periods ended June 30, 2001 are as follows:

(1) Credited to cost of goods sold. (2) Credited to cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expense. (3) Charged to selling, general and administrative expense. 6 NOTE 4 - STOCK REPURCHASE In February 1999, the Company commenced a stock repurchase program. The board of directors authorized the Company to allocate up to $4,000,000 to purchase its common stock at suitable market prices. In September 2000, the board of directors authorized the Company to allocate an additional $5,000,000 to purchase its common stock. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had repurchased 860,766 shares of the Company's common stock in connection with this program. NOTE 5 - LONG TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE In November 1998, the Company borrowed $29,000,000 on a term loan with a bank, payable in 60 monthly installments of $483,000 plus interest. The term loan was repaid in 2000 with the proceeds of a new borrowing arrangement with a group of banks. In September 2000, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("Agreement") with a group of banks providing a revolving credit facility of up to $45,000,000. The purpose of the facility was to repay previously outstanding amounts under a prior agreement with a bank, fund working capital and capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes including up to $5,000,000 of stock repurchases under the Company's repurchase program. The Agreement provides for interest at the banks' reference rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, or a LIBOR adjusted rate. Loans made under the Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The borrowing base under the Agreement is limited to 90% of eligible accounts receivable, 50% of inventory and 100% of operating machinery and equipment, which percentages decline after 2001 for receivables and equipment. The Agreement provided that the aggregate commitment will decline by $5,000,000 on each December 31 beginning in 2002 until expiration of the entire commitment on December 31, 2005. The Agreement also contains covenants requiring certain levels of annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and net worth, and limits the amount of capital expenditures. By December 31, 2000, the Company had borrowed $31,024,000 under the Agreement and was not in compliance with certain financial covenants due to adjustments recorded to prior years and 2000 results. The bank waived compliance with the covenants and amended the Agreement in April 2001. In connection with the amendment, the Company paid the banks $225,000 which was expensed in the second quarter of 2001. As of April 30, May 31 and June 30, 2001, outstanding amounts under the line of credit exceeded the borrowing base. On June 11 and July 20, 2001, the Company entered into amendment and forbearance agreements with the banks which required the Company to repay the amount of excess borrowings and amended the Agreement to reduce the aggregate commitment from $45,000,000 to $30,050,000 until the expiration of the commitment on December 31, 2005. In August 2001, the Company did not make required debt payments which created a breach of the amendment and forbearance agreements. As a consequence of the breach, all amounts outstanding under the credit facility are immediately due and payable and , therefore, have been reclassified as a current liability as of June 30, 2001. The Company is negotiating with the banks for an additional forbearance. 7 NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES In November 2000, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to economically hedge its floating debt rate. Under the terms of the contract, the notional amount is $15,000,000, whereby the Company receives LIBOR and pays a fixed 6.50% rate of interest for three years. FAS 133 requires that the interest rate swap contract be recorded at fair value upon adoption of FAS 133 and quarterly by recording (i) a cumulative-effect type adjustment at January 1, 2001 equal to the fair value of the interest rate swap contract on that date, (ii) amortizing the cumulative-effect type adjustment quarterly over the life of the derivative contract, and (iii) a charge or credit to income in the amount of the difference between the fair value of the interest rate swap contract at the beginning and end of such quarter. The effect of adopting FAS 133 was to record an initial cumulative-effect balance sheet adjustment by charging Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (a component of shareholders' equity) $161,000 (net of $148,000 tax benefit), crediting Derivative Valuation Liability by the $309,000 gross cumulative effect adjustment and charging Deferred Income Taxes $148,000. The following adjustments were recorded to reflect changes during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001:

8 POINT.360 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000. REVENUES. Revenues decreased by $2.0 million or 11% to $16.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $18.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 due to a decline in studio post production sales. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $2.0 million or 27.6% to $5.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $7.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. As a percent of revenues, gross profit decreased from 38.7% to 31.5%. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to higher wages related to the digital television services department, higher maintenance and equipment rental costs, and increased depreciation associated with investments in high definition equipment. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.7 million, or 13.8% to $5.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $5.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense increased to 34.6% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to 27.1% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. This increase was due to $0.4 million of bank agreement restructuring charges, and $0.3 million of employee benefit plan one-time expense, offset by other cost reductions. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income (loss) decreased $2.7 million to $(0.5) million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $2.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three-month ended June 30, 2001 of $0.7 million was the same as that of the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 of $0.7 million. ADOPTION OF FAS 133 AND DERIVATIVE FAIR VALUE CHANGE. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded the difference between the derivative fair value of the Company's interest rate swap contract at the beginning and end of the second quarter, or $29,000 ($15,000 net of tax benefit), and amortization of the cumulative-effect adjustment during the quarter. INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 47% for the second quarter of 2001 and 46% for the second quarter of 2000. NET INCOME (LOSS). The net income (loss) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 was $(0.7) million, a decrease of $1.4 million compared to $0.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000. REVENUES. Revenues decreased by $2.0 million or 5.4% to $35.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $37.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 due to a decline in studio post production sales in the second quarter. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $3.7 million or 23.9% to $11.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $15.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. As a percent of revenues, gross profit decreased from 40.9% to 32.9%. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to higher wages related to the digital television services department, higher maintenance and equipment rental costs, and increased depreciation associated with investments in high definition equipment. 9 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.9 million, or 8.6% to $11.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $10.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense increased to 31.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to 27.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. The fiscal 2000 period included $0.8 million of expenses associated with a terminated merger. The 2001 period included $0.4 million of bank agreement restructuring charges, $0.3 million of employee benefit plan one-time change expense, $0.2 million of severance accruals, $0.3 million of consulting expense associated with the Company's rebranding efforts and higher administrative salary costs. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased $4.6 million or 90.9% to $0.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $5.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $0.1 million, or 9.4%, to $1.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $1.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. ADOPTION OF FAS 133 AND DERIVATIVE FAIR VALUE CHANGE. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted FAS 133 by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to shareholders' equity. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded the difference between the derivative fair value of the Company's interest rate swap contract at the beginning and end of the period, or $250,000 ($130,000 net of tax benefit), and amortization of the cumulative-effect adjustment during the quarter. INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 48% for the first half of 2001 and 43% for the first half of 2000. The higher tax rate is due to the effect of permanent differences on a lower pre-tax income base. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ADOPTING SAB 101. During Fiscal 2000, the Company adopted SAB 101. The effect of applying this change in accounting principle is a cumulative charge, after tax, of $322,000, or $0.03 per share. Previously, the Company had recognized revenues from certain post-production processes as work was performed. Under SAB 101, the Company now recognizes these revenues when the entire project is completed. NET INCOME (LOSS). The net income (loss) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 was $(0.7) million, a decrease of $2.5 million compared to a profit of $1.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES This discussion should be read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements and the corresponding information more fully described in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. On June 30, 2001, the Company's cash and cash equivalents aggregated $0.5 million. The Company's operating activities provided cash of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company's investing activities used cash of $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company spent approximately $1.8 million for the addition and replacement of capital equipment and management information systems. The Company's business is equipment intensive, requiring periodic expenditures of cash or the incurrence of additional debt to acquire additional fixed assets in order to increase capacity or replace existing equipment. The Company also made $0.5 million in acquisition earn-out payments in the six months ended June 30, 2001. In September 2000, the Company signed a $45 million revolving credit facility agented by Union Bank of California. The amount of the commitment was reduced to $30 million in July 2001. The facility provides the Company with funding for capital expenditures, working capital needs and support for its acquisition strategies. The facility expires on December 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2001, there was $30 million outstanding under the facility, which amount was in excess of the permitted borrowing base by $1.0 million. 10 Due to lower sales levels in the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the borrowing base (eligible accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment) securing the Company's bank line of credit was less than the amount borrowed under the line. Consequently, the Company was in breach of certain covenants. On June 11 and on July 20, 2001, the Company entered into amendment and forbearance agreements with the banks and agreed to repay the overdraft amount in weekly increments. In August 2001, the Company failed to meet the repayment schedule and again entered discussions with the banks, which discussions are ongoing. The Company, from time to time, considers the acquisition of businesses complementary to its current operations. Consummation of any such acquisition or other expansion of the business conducted by the Company may be subject to the Company securing additional financing. CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS In our capacity as Company management, we may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to our long-term objectives or expectations which may be included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to stockholders and information provided in our web site. The words or phrases "will likely," "are expected to," "is anticipated," "is predicted," "forecast," "estimate," "project," "plans to continue," "believes," or similar expressions identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. In connection with the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we are calling to your attention important factors that could affect our financial performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The following list of important factors may not be all-inclusive, and we specifically decline to undertake an obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Among the factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve expected operating results and growth plan goals and/or affect the market price of our stock are: o Recent history of losses and breach of credit agreement covenants. o Our highly competitive marketplace. o The risks associated with dependence upon significant customers. o Our ability to execute our expansion strategy. o The uncertain ability to manage growth. o Our dependence upon and our ability to adapt to technological developments. o Dependence on key personnel. o Our ability to maintain and improve service quality. o Fluctuation in quarterly operating results and seasonality in certain of our markets. o Possible significant influence over corporate affairs by significant shareholders. These risk factors are discussed further below. RECENT HISTORY OF LOSSES AND CASH CONSTRAINTS. The Company has reported losses for each of the three fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2001 due, in part, to lower gross margins and lower sales levels. These factors caused the Company to breach certain covenants of its credit facility. The breaches were temporarily cured based on amendments and forbearance agreements among the Company and the banks which called for, among other provisions, scheduled payments to reduce amounts owed to the banks to the permitted borrowing base. In August 2001, the Company failed to meet the repayment schedule and was once again in breach of the credit facility. We cannot be sure a mutually satisfactory agreement with the banks will be reached upon completion of current negotiations or, if successful, that the Company will not again breach established covenants. 11 COMPETITION. Our broadcast video post production, duplication and distribution industry is a highly competitive, service-oriented business. In general, we do not have long-term or exclusive service agreements with our customers. Business is acquired on a purchase order basis and is based primarily on customer satisfaction with reliability, timeliness, quality and price. We compete with a variety of post production, duplication and distribution firms, some of which have a national presence, and to a lesser extent, the in-house post production and distribution operations of major motion picture studios and advertising agencies. Some of these firms, and all of the studios, have greater financial, distribution and marketing resources and have achieved a higher level of brand recognition than the Company. In the future, we may not be able to compete effectively against these competitors merely on the basis of reliability, timeliness quality and price or otherwise. We may also face competition from companies in related markets which could offer similar or superior services to those offered by the Company. For example, telecommunications providers could enter the market as competitors with materially lower electronic delivery transportation costs. We believe that an increasingly competitive environment could lead to a loss of market share or price reductions, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. CUSTOMER AND INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION. Although we have an active client list of over 2,500 customers, seven motion picture studios accounted for approximately 35% of the Company's revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2001. If one or more of these companies were to stop using our services, our business could be adversely affected. Because we derive substantially all of our revenue from clients in the entertainment and advertising industries, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company could also be adversely affected by an adverse change in conditions which impact those industries. EXPANSION STRATEGY. Our growth strategy involves both internal development and expansion through acquisitions. We currently have no agreements or commitments to acquire any company or business. Even though we have completed eight acquisitions in the last four fiscal years, we cannot be sure additional acceptable acquisitions will be available or that we will be able to reach mutually agreeable terms to purchase acquisition targets, or that we will be able to profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate such additional businesses into the Company without substantial costs, delays or other problems. Certain of the businesses previously acquired by the Company reported net losses for their most recent fiscal years prior to being acquired, and our future financial performance will be in part depend on our ability to implement operational improvements in, or exploit potential synergies with, these acquired businesses. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks including: adverse effects on our reported operating results (including the amortization of acquired goodwill), diversion of management's attention and unanticipated problems or legal liabilities. In addition, we may require additional funding to finance future acquisitions. We cannot be sure that we will be able to secure acquisition financing on acceptable terms or at all. We may also use working capital or equity, or raise financing through equity offerings or the incurrence of debt, in connection with the funding of any acquisition. Some or all of these risks could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects or could result in dilution to the Company's shareholders. In addition, to the extent that consolidation becomes more prevalent in the industry, the prices for attractive acquisition candidates could increase substantially. We may not be able to effect any such transactions. Additionally, if we are able to complete such transactions they may prove to be unprofitable. The geographic expansion of the Company's customers may result in increased demand for services in certain regions where it currently does not have post production, duplication and distribution facilities. To meet this demand, we may subcontract. However, we have not entered into any formal negotiations or definitive agreements for this purpose. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to effect such transactions or that any such transactions will prove to be profitable. 12 MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. During the three years ended December 31, 1999, we experienced rapid growth that resulted in new and increased responsibilities for management personnel and placed and continues to place increased demands on our management, operational and financial systems and resources. To accommodate this growth, compete effectively and manage future growth, we will be required to continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems, and to expand, train, motivate and manage our work force. We cannot be sure that the Company's personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future operations. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS. Although we intend to utilize the most efficient and cost-effective technologies available for telecine, high definition formatting, editing, coloration and delivery of video content, including digital satellite transmission, as they develop, we cannot be sure that we will be able to adapt to such standards in a timely fashion or at all. We believe our future growth will depend in part, on our ability to add to these services and to add customers in a timely and cost-effective manner. We cannot be sure we will be successful in offering such services to existing customers or in obtaining new customers for these services, including the Company's significant investment in high definition technology in 2000. We intend to rely on third party vendors for the development of these technologies and there is no assurance that such vendors will be able to develop such technologies in a manner that meets the needs of the Company and its customers. Any material interruption in the supply of such services could materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and prospects. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company is dependent on the efforts and abilities of certain of its senior management, particularly those of R. Luke Stefanko, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The loss or interruption of the services of key members of management could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects if a suitable replacement is not promptly obtained. Although we have employment agreements with Mr. Stefanko and certain of our other key executives and technical personnel, we cannot be sure that such executives will remain with the Company during or after the term of their employment agreements. In addition, our success depends to a significant degree upon the continuing contributions of, and on our ability to attract and retain, qualified management, sales, operations, marketing and technical personnel. The competition for qualified personnel is intense and the loss of any such persons, as well as the failure to recruit additional key personnel in a timely manner, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel for the development of our business. ABILITY TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE SERVICE QUALITY. Our business is dependent on our ability to meet the current and future demands of our customers, which demands include reliability, timeliness, quality and price. Any failure to do so, whether or not caused by factors within our control could result in losses to such clients. Although we disclaim any liability for such losses, there is no assurance that claims would not be asserted or that dissatisfied customers would refuse to make further deliveries through the Company in the event of a significant occurrence of lost deliveries, either of which could have material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Although we maintain insurance against business interruption, such insurance may not be adequate to protect the Company from significant loss in these circumstances or that a major catastrophe (such as an earthquake or other natural disaster) would not result in a prolonged interruption of our business. In addition, our ability to make deliveries within the time periods requested by customers depends on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including equipment failure, work stoppages by package delivery vendors or interruption in services by telephone or satellite service providers. FLUCTUATING RESULTS, SEASONALITY. Our operating results have varied in the past, and may vary in the future, depending on factors such as the volume of advertising in response to seasonal buying patterns, the timing of new product and service introductions, the timing of revenue recognition upon the completion of longer term projects, increased competition, timing of acquisitions, general economic factors and other factors. As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. 13 For example, our operating results have historically been significantly influenced by the volume of business from the motion picture industry, which is an industry that is subject to seasonal and cyclical downturns, and, occasionally, work stoppages by actors, writers and others. In addition, as our business from advertising agencies tends to be seasonal, our operating results may be subject to increased seasonality as the percentage of business from advertising agencies increases. In any period our revenues are subject to variation based on changes in the volume and mix of services performed during the period. It is possible that in some future quarter the Company's operating results will be below the expectations of equity research analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected. Fluctuations in sales due to seasonality may become more pronounced if the growth rate of the Company's sales slows. CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER; POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK; ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS. The Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Luke Stefanko, beneficially owned approximately 27% of the outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2001. Mr. Stefanko's ex-spouse owned approximately 25% of the common stock on that date. Together, they owned approximately 53%. In August 2000 and May 2001, Mr. Stefanko was granted one-time proxies to vote his ex-spouse's shares in connection with the election of directors at the Company's annual meetings. By virtue of his stock ownership, Mr. Stefanko may be able to significantly influence the outcome of matters required to be submitted to a vote of shareholders, including (i) the election of the board of directors, (ii) amendments to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and (iii) approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. The foregoing may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of the Company, including transactions in which the holders of common stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over current market prices. Our Board of Directors also has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without par value (the "Preferred Stock") and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including voting rights, without any further vote or action by the Company's shareholders. Although we have no current plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, the rights of the holders of common stock would be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of the Company. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and of California law also could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK MARKET RISK. The Company's market risk exposure with respect to financial instruments is to changes in the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"). The Company had borrowings of $30 million at June 30, 2001 under a credit agreement. Amounts outstanding under the credit agreement bear interest at the bank's reference rate plus a base rate margin not to exceed 1.00%, or, at the Company's election, at LIBOR plus a LIBOR margin not to exceed 2.75%. The Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with a bank on November 28, 2000. The swap transaction was for a notional amount of $15,000,000 for three years and fixes the interest rate paid by the Company on such amount at 6.50%, plus the applicable LIBOR margin, not to exceed 2.75%. 14 POINT.360 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
