If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively

It is anticipated that the Form 10-K will reflect the following changes in
results of operations from the prior fiscal year:
The Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 are
expected to be approximately $35.1 million, compared to approximately
$22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was
primarily due to increases in theatrical, video/DVD and airline
revenues and to increased sales of films domestically and
internationally in 2001. The Company expects to record a net loss of
approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001,
compared to a net loss of approximately $20.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000. This decrease primarily resulted from the
Company reporting for the year ended December 31, 2000 a one-time
charge for the cumulative effect of accounting changes of approximately
$14.1 million due to the Company's adoption in June 2000 of Statement
of Position No. 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of
Films" promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.
