Letter of Independent Accountants

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Caribiner International, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Caribiner
International, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed
for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Caribiner International, Inc. as of
September 30, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, not
presented herein, and in our report dated December 6, 1996, except for Note 15
as to which the date is December 20, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996,
is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                   Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
                   ------------------------------------------
                                  (Unaudited)

1. Interim Financial Information

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Caribiner
   International, Inc. (the "Company") 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, the consolidated financial
   statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
   adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated
   financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The
   results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1996 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for
   any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997.

   The balance sheet at September 30, 1996 has been derived from the Company's
   audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the
   information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Revenue Recognition

   Service revenue is recorded principally on the completed contract method of
   accounting. The recognition of service revenue and cost of service revenue is
   deferred until a project is completed which is often within a three- to six-
   month time period. For those projects which provide for multiple events, the
   contract revenue and costs are apportioned and revenue and profit are
   recognized as each event occurs. If a client cancels a project after
   production has begun, the client is obligated under contract to pay for
   services performed and expenses incurred through the date of cancellation,
   and there are no provisions for nonpayment by the client.

   The Company recognizes rental revenue over the rental period.

   Cost of Revenue

   Cost of service revenue is comprised of production costs including salaries
   and benefits of production, creative and technical personnel spent on
   specific contracts, and other direct costs including contracted services,
   equipment rentals and depreciation and costs associated with the production
   of audio-visual effects. Such costs are deferred until project completion.

                                      -7-

   Cost of rental revenue is comprised principally of direct labor costs,
   commissions and equipment depreciation and rentals.

3. Business Acquisitions

   In December, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock
   of Rome Network, Inc. ("Rome"), a regional producer of meetings and events
   headquartered in San Francisco, for $3.2 million, which consisted of
   approximately $2.4 million in cash and the issuance of 15,495 shares of the
   Company's common stock having a value of approximately $0.8 million. The cash
   component of the purchase price was financed by a drawing on one of the
   Company's credit facilities.

   In December, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement
   to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Blumberg Communications
   Inc. ("Blumberg"), a provider of audio visual equipment rentals, sales and
   related staging services, including hotel audio visual outsourcing services,
   in the upper midwest and southern U.S. In January, 1997, the Company
   completed such acquisition and paid consideration of $18.0 million (subject
   to certain adjustments), which consisted of approximately $16.6 million in
   cash and the issuance of 29,940 shares of the Company's common stock having a
   value of approximately $1.4 million. In addition, the Company repaid $3.9
   million in outstanding indebtedness of Blumberg at closing. The cash
   components of the transactions were financed by a drawing on one of the
   Company's credit facilities.

   Also, in January, 1997, the Company acquired Video Supply Company, Inc. d/b/a
   Projexions Video Supply ("Projexions"), a provider of audio visual equipment
   rentals and related staging services, in the southeastern U.S. for
   approximately $13.6 million in cash and $1.4 million in the repayment of
   certain indebtedness. The transactions were financed by a drawing on one of
   the Company's credit facilities.

   The following unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations of the
   Company for the three months ended December 31, 1995 give effect to the
   following transactions as if they occurred on October 1, 1995: (i) the
   acquisitions of each of Koors Perry & Associates, Inc., Lighthouse, Ltd. and
   SCH International, Ltd., (ii) decreased interest expense and preferred stock
   dividends resulting from the repayment of substantially all outstanding bank
   borrowings and other long-term indebtedness of the Company from proceeds of
   the initial public offering of common stock, which was consummated on March
   15, 1996 and (iii) the repayment with the proceeds of such initial public
   offering of a portion of bank borrowings that would have been incurred in
   connection with the acquisition of the Company's Total Audio Visual Services
   division from General Electric Capital Computer Leasing Corporation as if
   such acquisition had occurred on October 1, 1995. The pro forma effect of the
   acquisition of Rome on the Company's results of operations for the three
   months ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 is insignificant.

</TABLE>

   The above calculation of pro forma net income per common share assumes that
   approximately 9.6 million shares were outstanding during the three months
   ended December 31, 1995.

   The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations do not purport to
   be indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred
   had the acquisitions been made at the beginning of fiscal 1996 or of results
   which may occur in the future.

4. Stock Offering

   In December, 1996, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1
   (Registration no. 333-18327) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
   offering 1,878,200 shares of its Common stock, of which 1,750,000 shares of
   Common Stock will be offered by the Company.

5. Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

   The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
   three months ended December 31, 1996 is 9,632,959. The weighted average
   number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended
   December 31, 1995 is 6,620,003.

   Loss per common share for the three months ended December 31, 1995 has been
   computed on a pro forma basis assuming conversion of the convertible note and
   all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common stock (which, in each
   case, occurred on March 15, 1996 immediately prior to the Company's initial
   public offering) as if such conversions occurred on October 1, 1995. The pro
   forma loss per share reflects adjustments to eliminate the interest expense
   incurred on the convertible note and to eliminate accrued preferred stock
   dividends. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
   Commission, common stock issued under the 1993 Management Stock Plan and
   warrants to purchase common stock issued at prices below the initial public
   offering price per share during the twelve months immediately preceding the
   date of the initial filing of the Company's Registration Statement on Form 
   S-1 (Registration no. 33-80481) have also been included in the calculation of
   common shares, using the treasury stock method, as if they were outstanding
   for the three months ended December 31, 1995.

   Of the net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered by the
   Company in the initial public offering completed in March, 1996,
   approximately $25.6 million were used to repay aggregate bank borrowings and
   other long-term indebtedness, including accrued interest and preferred stock
   dividends. Assuming the issuance and sale of only that number of shares of
   common stock which would have generated net 

                                      -9-

<PAGE>
 
   proceeds sufficient to repay indebtedness of $25.6 million, and assuming that
   such indebtedness had been repaid as of October 1, 1995, supplementary pro
   forma net loss per share would have been $0.01 for the three months ended
   December 31, 1995. For purposes of this computation, the weighted average
   number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended
   December 31, 1995 is 8,445,489.

                           and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to
  Three Months Ended December 31, 1995

Revenue.  Revenue increased $32.3 million, or 158%, from $20.4 million in the
three months ended December 31, 1995 to $52.7 million in the three months ended
December 31, 1996.  Through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions
the Company increased its revenues from clients across a broad range of
industries.  Approximately 30.7% of the increase represented revenue from the
rental of audio visual equipment through the Company's Total Audio Visual
Services division, which was acquired by the Company in late September, 1996.
Increases in service revenue from clients in the telecommunications and
information technology industries accounted for 20.7% and 11.9%, respectively,
of the total revenue growth. Increases in service revenue from clients in the
food service and lodging industries accounted for an aggregate of 10.2% of the
total growth. The remainder of the increase in revenue was derived from clients
in several other industries.

Gross profit.  The total gross profit increased $10.8 million, or 152%, from
$7.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 1995 to $17.8 million in the
three months ended December 31, 1996 as a result of the revenue growth described
above.  Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue decreased to 32.0% for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 from 34.6% for the comparable period in
fiscal 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage of rental revenue was 41.9%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $7.8 million, or 119%, from $6.5 million in
the three months ended December 31, 1995 to $14.3 million in the three months
ended December 31, 1996. Salaries and related costs increased $5.1 million
primarily from increased personnel resulting from acquisitions and to support
the Company's overall growth, as well as normal annual inflationary increases.
Other general and administrative expenses, including rent and related expenses,
telephone, postage and other office supplies, as well as insurance costs,
increased $2.2 million due to acquisitions and to support the revenue growth.
Direct selling expenses, including travel, marketing and other costs related to
obtaining business, increased $0.5 million.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenue declined from 32.1% in the three months
ended December 31, 1995 to 27.3% in the three months ended December 31, 1996 as
revenue increased more rapidly than such expenses.

                                      -11-

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$1.1 million from $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 1995 to
$1.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 1996.  The purchase of
computer equipment and property and equipment acquired through acquisitions
resulted in increased depreciation expense of $0.7 million in the three months
ended December 31, 1996.  Amortization expense resulting from goodwill from
acquisitions increased $0.4 million.

Interest expense.  Interest expense with related parties decreased due to the
repayment and conversion of debt as of March 15, 1996 in connection with the
Company's initial public offering of its common stock, which was completed on
such date.  Other interest expense, net, increased $0.1 million due to increased
borrowings incurred in connection with the consummation of acquisitions.

Income (loss) before taxes.  Income before taxes increased from a loss of $1.2
million in the three months ended December 31, 1995 to income before taxes of
$1.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 1996 as revenue growth from
internal business and acquired businesses contributed to the improved earnings
of the Company.

Provision (benefit) for taxes. The tax provision (benefit) reflects an
allocation based on the full year anticipated tax provision. The provision for
taxes as a percentage of income before taxes was 24.0% and 40.0% for the three
months ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The 1995 tax rate
reflects the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

Net income (loss).  Net income increased to $0.7 million in the three months
ended December 31, 1996 from a loss of $0.9 million in the three months ended
December 31, 1995.  Net income per share for the three months ended December 31,
1996 increased to $0.08 from a pro forma loss per share of $0.07 for the
comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The net loss per share for the three months
ended December 31, 1995 was computed on a pro forma basis assuming conversion of
the convertible note and all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common
stock (which, in each case, occurred on March 15, 1996 immediately prior to the
consummation of the Company's initial public offering) as if such conversions
occurred on October 1, 1995.  The pro forma loss per share computation reflects
adjustments to eliminate the interest expense incurred on the convertible note
and to eliminate accrued preferred stock dividends.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 4, 1996, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with a
syndicate of banks pursuant to which the Company increased its aggregate
available bank financing from $27 million to $100 million, consisting of a $75
million six year reducing revolving credit facility (the "Reducing Revolver") to
be utilized in connection with the financing of 

                                      -12-

<PAGE>
 
acquisitions and a $25 million six year revolving line of credit (the "Revolving
Line" and together with the Reducing Revolver, the "1996 Facilities"). Amounts
outstanding under the Company's former bank facilities were repaid with proceeds
from the 1996 Facilities. The maturity date of each of the 1996 Facilities is
December 31, 2002. Interest on outstanding amounts under the 1996 Facilities is
payable quarterly in arrears and, at the option of the Company, interest accrues
at either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) an alternate base rate
based on the greatest of (a) the agent bank's prime rate, (b) the three month
secondary certificate of deposit rate and (c) the federal funds rate. The
weighted average interest rate on the outstanding amount under the 1996
Facilities was 6.9% at December 31, 1996. The interest rate will increase by
2.0% if principal or interest is not paid when due (after applicable grace
periods). Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Facilities, the Company is required
to reduce outstanding amounts under the Revolving Line to less than $5.0 million
for a period of not less than 30 days during every 12-month period commencing on
December 4, 1996. The 1996 Facilities require compliance with certain covenants 
including financial performance ratios.

The following table sets forth certain information from the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31,
1995 and 1996:

   Financing activities                 3,211,345       1,956,143
</TABLE>

For the three months ended December 31, 1996, $0.8 million was provided by
operating activities.  The net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization
provided $2.9 million.  The net change in working capital used $2.1 million,
with an increase in deferred income, which was more than offset by increases in
accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a decrease
in accrued expenses and other liabilities.  Investing activities required $4.7
million due to acquisition-related expenditures and property and equipment
additions.  Financing activities provided $2.0 million in the three months ended
December 31, 1996, of which $23.0 million was provided by drawings under the
Company's Reducing Revolver, offset by repayments on each of the 1996
Facilities.

For the three months ended December 31, 1995, the Company generated $2.7 million
from its operating activities.  The net loss adjusted for depreciation and
amortization used $0.2 million.   The net change in working capital provided
approximately $2.9 million, with decreases in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities more than offset by increased deferred income and decreased accounts
receivable.  Investing activities required $0.7 million primarily due to the
acquisition of computer equipment.  Financing activities provided $3.2 million
through the use of the Company's former line of credit.
