                         CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

                            OPTICAL SCANNING PROGRAM

The United States District Court for the Central District of California has
developed an Optical Scanning Program which allows the Office of the Clerk to
transmit copies of civil judgments, orders, and notices to attorneys of record,
including notice of entry of these documents, by Internet e-mail or facsimile
within 24 hours from the date the document is entered on the docket.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS...

o     Attorneys who enroll in the program consent and agree to receive copies
      civil judgments, orders, notices, and notice of entry as required by
      Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 77(d) by Internet e-mail or facsimile.

o     Documents are transmitted by Internet e-mail in TIFF format or fax in lieu
      of mailing copies. It is recommended that a single e-mail address is used
      for the entire law firm, rather using an attorney's personal e-mail
      address.

o     Only attorneys who have been admitted to practice in the United States
      District Court, Central District of California who are counsel of record
      for named parties, and attorneys appearing pro hac vice are eligible to
      enroll.

o     A one-time enrollment is all that is required to receive documents on
      pending cases in this district, as well as for cases filed in the future.
      Attorneys are responsible for notifying the clerk's office if their fax
      number or e-mail address changes to ensure that documents are transmitted
      to the proper fax number or e-mail address.

o     There is no fee for the program.

HOW TO GET ENROLLED...

To enroll in this free program, please complete an enrollment form G-76 and
return it to the address or fax it to the number indicated on the form. Forms
may be obtained through the court's website at www.cacd.uscourts.gov, at the
clerk's office, or by calling the Optical Scanning Department at (213) 894-5474.

A list of frequently asked questions concerning the Optical Scanning Program is
available on the court's website. If you have any other questions, please call
the Optical Scanning Department at (213) 894-5474. We look forward to providing
this service to you.

                                   Thank you.

                              SUMMARY AND OVERVIEW

      1. This is a securities class action on behalf of all purchasers of the
publicly traded securities of TEAM Communications Group, Inc. ("TEAM
Communications" or the "Company") between 5/18/00 and 2/12/01 (the "Class
Period") , against TEAM Communications and certain of its officers and directors
for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act").

      2. TEAM Communications currently owns and distributes over 4,000 hours of
programming worldwide, in addition to producing a wide variety of programming
for leading U.S. and international broadcasters. TEAM maintains offices in Los
Angeles, Munich (through its TEAM Entertainment Germany (GmbH)) and London
(through its TEAM Dandelion Ltd. Operations). Its shares trade on NASDAQ-NMS
(TMTV) and on the German Neuer Market (TME).

      3. During the Class Period, TEAM Communications reported favorable but
false financial results causing its stock to trade at artificially inflated
levels of as high as $12 per share.

      4. Then, on 2/13/01, prior to the market opening, TEAM Communications
shocked the investment community with a press release which revealed that the
Company expected to record a Q4 00 charge equivalent to more than five times all
the income it reported during the Class Period. It also acknowledged that
certain of its acquisition and distribution activities may have "lacked economic
substance." The press release went on to state, in relevant part:

            The Company also reported that it currently expects to take a charge
      of approximately $21,000,000 against its results of operations for the
      year 2000. The Company

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

stated that the amount of the expected charge is subject to adjustment,
including possible increase, upon audit of the Company's year 2000 operations.
It is also subject to completion of an internal examination of whether certain
of the Company's film library acquisition and distribution transactions during
the past year lacked economic substance. As a result of this charge, the Company
anticipates that it will report a loss for the year 2000 of between $18,000,000
and $19,500,000 or a potentially larger amount. The Company also disclosed that
it has short-term liquidity needs, which Mr. Solomon stated will receive his
immediate attention.

                                     * * *

      The Company stated that the charges expected to be reflected in its year
2000 results will include the establishment of approximately $11,000,000 of
reserves against long-term receivables and $10,000,000 of reserves relating to
the valuation of its film programming inventory....

      These adjustments include $9,000,000 related to the elimination of the
Company's investment associated with its 1999 acquisition of Dandelion U.K. The
Company stated that it intends to restructure its present U.K. operations, and
that Noel Cronin, the Managing Director of Team Dandelion, has agreed to
terminate his employment agreement with the Company. The Company further
reported that it has instituted a strategic review of its acquired film
libraries, with a view to increasing the rates at

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

      which the Company amortizes its investments in those libraries.

            As a result of the anticipated adjustments and reserves, the Company
      expects that it will not be in compliance with the terms of its existing
      bank financing facilities, and is seeking appropriate waivers of these
      potential covenant defaults. The Company is also seeking to restructure
      its financing arrangements.

      5. On this news, TEAM Communications' shares plummeted to as low as $1.375
- or more than 88% lower than its Class Period high of $12.

                             JURISDICTION AND VENUE

      6. Jurisdiction is conferred by ss.27 of the 1934 Act. The claims
asserted herein arise under ss.ss.10(b) and 20(a) of the 1934 Act and Rule
10b-5.

      7. Venue is proper in this District pursuant to ss.27 of the 1934 Act.
Many of the false and misleading statements were made in or issued from this
District.

      8. The Company's corporate headquarters are in Los Angeles, California,
where the day-to-day operations of the Company are directed and managed.

                                  THE PARTIES

      9. Plaintiff Steven McKinhon purchased TEAM Communications publicly traded
securities as described in the attached certification and was damaged thereby.

      10. Defendant TEAM Communications develops, produces and distributes a
variety of television programming, including dramatic and reality-based series,
specials and made-for-television movies

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

for exploitation in the domestic and international television markets. The
Company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and trades in an efficient
market on the Nasdaq National Market System, as well as on the German Neuer
market.

      11. (a) Defendant Drew S. Levin ("Levin") was Chairman of the Board and
CEO of TEAM Communications and assisted in the preparation of TEAM
Communications' Ql, Q2 and Q3 2000 press releases, SEC filings and financial
reports.

          (b) Defendant Timothy A. Hill ("Hill") was Chief Financial Officer of
the Company until his resignation in 10/00, and assisted in the preparation of
TEAM Communications' Q1 and Q2 2000 press releases, SEC filings and financial
reports.

      12. The individuals named as defendants in (Para)11(a)-(b) are referred
to herein as the "Individual Defendants." The Individual Defendants, because of
their positions with the Company, possessed the power and authority to control
the contents of TEAM Communications' quarterly reports, press releases and
presentations to securities analysts, money and portfolio managers and
institutional investors, i.e., the market. Each defendant was provided with
copies of the Company's reports and press releases alleged herein to be
misleading prior to or shortly after their issuance and had the ability and
opportunity to prevent their issuance or cause them to be corrected. Because of
their positions and access to material non-public information available to them
but not to the public, each of these defendants knew that the adverse facts
specified herein had not been disclosed to and were being concealed from the
public and that the positive representations which were being made were then
materially false and misleading.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

The Individual Defendants are liable for the false statements pleaded herein at
(Para)(Para)22-28, as those statements were each "group-published"
information, the result of the collective actions of the Individual Defendants.

                                    SCIENTER

      13. In addition to the above-described involvement, each Individual
Defendant had knowledge of TEAM Communications' problems and was motivated to
conceal such problems. Levin, as CEO, was responsible for the financial results
and press releases issued by the Company. He signed each false and misleading
Form 10-Q issued during the Class Period. Hill, until his resignation, as CFO,
was responsible for financial reporting and communications with the market. As
CFO, many of the internal reports showing TEAM Communications' forecasted and
actual growth were prepared by the finance department under Hill's direction and
thus Hill was aware of the significant downturn in TEAM Communications' actual
and forecasted results. Each Individual Defendant sought to demonstrate that he
could lead the Company successfully and generate the growth expected by the
market.

      14. The largest asset on TEAM Communications' balance sheet was its
television program costs which, according to the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, were
accounted for as follows:

            Television program costs are valued at the lower of unamortized cost
      or net realizable value on an individual title basis. Television program
      costs represent those costs incurred in the development, production and
      distribution of television projects. These costs have been capitalized in
      accordance with SFAS No. 53.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

      Amortization of television program costs is charged to expense and
      third-party participations are accrued using the individual film forecast
      method whereby expense is recognized in the proportion that current year
      revenues bear to an estimate of ultimate revenue. Such estimates of
      ultimate revenue are prepared and reviewed by management, and estimated
      losses, if any, are provided for in full. Development costs are reviewed
      by management and charged to expense when abandoned or, even if still
      being actively developed, if not set for principal photography within
      three years of initial development activity.

            During the year ended December 31, 1999, as the Company increased
      its activities related to film cost production, overhead was capitalized
      in accordance with SFAS No. 53 based upon estimates of production related
      activities as a percentage of anticipated film cost expenditures during
      1999. Management reviews the overhead rate throughout the year and will
      adjust the overhead rate on a quarterly basis, if necessary. During the
      year ended December 31, 1999, overhead in the amount of approximately
      $1,740,700 was capitalized to film production costs.

      15. TEAM Communications accounted for revenue based on licensing
agreements. According to Form 10-Qs filed during the Class Period, these were
accounted for as follows:

            The Company recognizes revenues from licensing agreements covering
      entertainment product when the

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

      product is available to the licensee for telecast, exhibition or
      distribution, and other conditions of the licensing agreements have been
      met in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
      ("SFAS") No. 53, "Financial Reporting by Producers and Distributors of
      Motion Picture Films."

      16. Because the accounting for these items was the most important factor
in the presentation of TEAM Communications' financial statements, each
Individual Defendant was aware of and involved in the accounting decisions being
made. In fact, certain of the transactions lacked substance and the television
costs were overstated by at lease 25%. Defendants were in a position to not only
know of, but to cause the misaccounting alleged herein.

      17. Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that the misleading
statements and omissions complained of herein would adversely affect the
integrity of the market for the Company's securities and would cause the prices
of the Company's publicly traded securities to become artificially inflated.
Defendants acted knowingly or in such a reckless manner as to constitute a fraud
and deceit upon plaintiff and other members of the Class.

                    FRAUDULENT SCHEME AND COURSE OF BUSINESS

      18. Each defendant is liable for (i) making false statements, or (ii)
failing to disclose adverse facts known to him about TEAM Communications.
Defendants' fraudulent scheme and course of business that operated as a fraud or
deceit on purchasers of TEAM Communications publicly traded securities was a
success, as it: (i) deceived the investing public regarding TEAM Communications'
prospects and business; (ii) artificially inflated the prices of

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

TEAM Communications' publicly traded securities; (iii) caused plaintiff and
other members of the Class to purchase TEAM Communications publicly traded
securities at inflated prices; and (iv) allowed defendants to secure financing
for their cash-starved company just days prior to announcing huge charges which
indicated that the Company's financial results were false.

                                   BACKGROUND

      19. The Company develops, produces and distributes a variety of television
programming, including dramatic and reality-based series, specials and
made-for-television movies for exploitation in the domestic and international
television markets. TEAM Communications derives substantially all of its
revenues from the exploitation of originally produced programs and products
acquired from others.

      20. On 11/29/99, the Company completed the sale of 6,150,000 shares of its
common stock, 150,000 shares of which were sold by and for the account of a
selling shareholder, in an underwritten offering on the German Neuer Market (the
"German Offering"). The German Offering was underwritten by Gontard & MetallBank
AG and a group of associated underwriters. The offering price was approximately
$6.21 per share.

      21. As of 10/1/99, TEAM Communications completed the purchase of Dandelion
Distribution Ltd., a 20-year-old United Kingdom ("UK") based television
production and distribution company, for $5,000,000 in cash and common stock.
Dandelion has over 2,000 hours of television programming in its library. As of
the beginning of the Class Period, defendants were in discussions with

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

a number of distribution and production companies regarding possible business
combinations.

                        DEFENDANTS' FALSE AND MISLEADING
                   STATEMENTS ISSUED DURING THE CLASS PERIOD

      22. On 5/18/00, TEAM Communications announced strong results for the Q1 00
in a press release entitled, "Sales Increase by 87% to $6,566,000; Company
Reports Net Income of $354,000," which stated in part:

            TEAM Communications Group, Inc., a leading multinational television
      production and distribution company with offices in Los Angeles, London
      and Munich, today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

            TEAM reported a net income of approximately $354,000 on total
      revenues of approximately $6,566,000 compared to net income of
      approximately $348,900 on total revenues of approximately $3,502,000 for
      the same period ended March 31, 1999.

            "We are exceptionally pleased with the financial results from the
      first quarter as we continue to add increased revenue and net sales each
      reporting period," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Drew S.
      Levin. "Revenues have increased by a significant 87% over the same period
      last year. 'Call of the Wild' debuted on Discovery's Animal Planet as
      their first ever prime-time dramatic series to rave reviews, we began
      airing our sci-fi franchise 'Total Recall: 2070' in over 85% of the U.S.
      markets in syndication, and we have begun to see tremendous benefits from
      the acquisition of UK-based

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

      Dandelion Distribution and the establishment of TEAM Dandelion, Ltd. Our
      pre-tax earnings of nearly $600,000 reflect a significant increase of 38%
      over the same period last year," added Levin. "We have continued to make
      investments in European and US programming libraries and new production
      while the depth of our senior management in all phases of the television
      and media sector continues to expand," Levin concluded.

            Revenues for the first quarter 2000 were generated from significant
      sales of approximately $3,764,000 from TEAM's recently formed UK
      subsidiary TEAM Dandelion, Ltd., approximately $1,200,000 by delivery of 6
      episodes of TEAM's dramatic series "Call of the Wild" to Discovery's
      Animal Planet, and approximately $1,200,000 from the airing of 6 episodes
      of "Total Recall: 2070" in the United States syndication market.
      Approximately 57% of total revenue was derived from European sales.

      23. Also, on or about 5/18/00, the Company filed its Form l0-Q which
included the results issued in the press release. The Form l0-Q reported that
TEAM Communications had net television programming costs of $37.6 million and
trade receivables of $12.7 million. The Form 10-Q was signed by Levin and Hill.

      24. On 8/22/00, TEAM Communications announced record results for Q2 00,
and a sales increase by 96% to $12,897,300 over the Q1 results, in a press
release entitled, "Company Reports Net Earnings of $1,292,800 for the 2Q, a
Three-Fold Increase from 1Q." The press release went on to state, in part:

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

      TEAM Communications Group, Inc., a leading multinational television
production and distribution company with offices in Los Angeles, London and
Munich, announced today results for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

      TEAM reported a net income of approximately $1,292,800 on total revenues
of approximately $12,897,300 compared to net income of approximately $455,500 on
total revenues of approximately $3,517,900 for the same period ended June 30,
1999.

      "We are exceptionally pleased with the financial results from the second
quarter as we continue to build our record success over the last year," said
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Drew S. Levin. "Revenues have increased by
a significant 96% over results of our first quarter and more than two and a half
times the revenue reported for the same period last year, more than exceeding
financial forecast by analysts. Our sci-fi franchise 'Total Recall: 2070"
continues to air in over 85% of the U.S. markets in syndication, and our newest
dramatic production, the Emmy-nominated 'Call of the Wild,' debuted on Animal
Planet in March 2000 to rave reviews. Additionally, we have continued to see
tremendous benefits from the acquisition of UK-based Dandelion Distribution and
the establishment of TEAM Dandelion, Ltd.," added Levin. "We continue to make
investments in European and U.S. programming libraries and new production while
the depth of our senior

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

      management in all phases of the television and media sector continues to
      expand. We are also very enthusiastic about the newest member of the TEAM
      family, TEAM Entertainment Germany, headed by television veteran Erhart
      Puschnig," concluded Levin.

            Revenues of the first quarter 2000 were generated from significant
      sales of approximately $8,000,000 from TEAM's UK subsidiary TEAM Dandelion
      Ltd., and approximately $3,950,000 from "Total Recall: 2070" syndication
      in the United States market.

      25. Also, on or about 8/22/00, the Company filed its Form l0-Q which
included the results issued in the press release. The Form l0-Q reported that
TEAM Communications had net television programming costs of $47.6 million and
trade receivables of $15.2 million. The Form l0-Q was signed by Levin.

      26. On 11/22/00, TEAM Communications announced record results for Q3 00,
as sales increased by 144% to $15,259,000 over the same period in 1999, in a
press release entitled, "Company Reports Net Income of $1,040,300 for the
Quarter, Representing a 56% Increase Over the Corresponding Quarter in 1999."
The press release went on to state in part:

            TEAM Communications Group, Inc., a leading multinational television
      production and distribution company with offices in Los Angeles, London
      and Munich, announced today results for the quarter ended September 20,
      2000.

            TEAM reported net income for the current quarter of $1,040,300 on
      total revenues of $15,259,000 compared to

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

      net income of $668,600 on total revenue of $6,253,400 for the
      corresponding period of last year. For the nine months ended September 30,
      2000, TEAM reported net income of $2,687,000 and revenues of $34,722,600
      as compared to $1,472,900 and $13,273,300, respectively, for the
      corresponding period of last year.

            "We are exceptionally pleased with the financial results for the
      third quarter and year to date as we continue to build our record success
      over the last year," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Drew S.
      Levin. "Revenues for the current quarter have increased by 144% over the
      corresponding quarter of last year and by 162% for the nine months ended
      September 30, 2000 over the corresponding period for 1999. Our strategy of
      creating a global content supplier is clearly working, not only in terms
      of significant increases in sales and earnings, but also in the proportion
      of revenues being generated by each of our three operating centers."

      27. Also, on or about 11/22/00, the Company filed its Form l0-Q which
included the results issued in the press release. The Form 10-Q reported that
TEAM Communications had net television programming costs of $42.2 million and
trade receivables of $27.2 million. The Form 10-Q was signed by Levin.

      28. On 1/17/01, TEAM Communications announced it had successfully secured
a $45 million credit commitment from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The
release stated:

      TEAM Communications Group, Inc., a leading multinational television
      production and distribution company, announced

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

      today that the Company has received a $45 million financing commitment for
      a special purpose fund from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).
      The commitment is subject to documentation and is expected to close during
      the first quarter. Given TEAM's current programming slate, TEAM TV Fund
      will be able to finance up to $125 million of total production costs. The
      announcement was made today by Drew s. Levin, TEAM Chairman and CEO.

                                     * * *

            "TEAM TV Fund will be the first securitization type of financing
      structure for television production," commented Mr. Levin. "This unique
      financing approach scales up quickly, is accretive to our shareholder
      equity and cost effective," added Levin.

            "The new TEAM TV Fund significantly augments our company's ability
      to meet the growing demand for original, dramatic programming from all of
      the key broadcast and cable network buyers around the world," concluded
      Levin.

      29. Then on 2/13/01, TEAM Communications shocked the investment community
with its press release entitled "TEAM Communications Group, Inc., Names Michael
Jay Solomon Chairman and CEO; Expects to Report Loss for Full Year 2000." The
press release went on to state in relevant part:

            The Company also reported that it currently expects to take a charge
      of approximately $21,000,000 against its results of operations for the
      year 2000. The Company

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

stated that the amount of the expected charge is subject to adjustment,
including possible increase, upon audit of the Company's year 2000 operations.
It is also subject to completion of an internal examination of whether certain
of the Company's film library acquisition and distribution transactions during
the past year lacked economic substance. As a result of this charge, the Company
anticipates that it will report a loss for the year 2000 of between $18,000,000
and $19,500,000 or a potentially larger amount. The Company also disclosed that
it has short-term liquidity needs, which Mr. Solomon stated will receive his
immediate attention.

                                     * * *

      The Company stated that the charges expected to be reflected in its year
2000 results will include the establishment of approximately $11,000,000 of
reserves against long-term receivables and $10,000,000 of reserves relating to
the valuation of its film programming inventory. The Company also expects to
record an adjustment of approximately $2,000,000 as a result of the early
adoption of certain new accounting requirements for producers and distributors
of film.

      These adjustments include $9,000,000 related to the elimination of the
Company's investment associated with its 1999 acquisition of Dandelion U.K. The
Company stated that it intends to restructure its present U.K. operations, and
that Noel Cronin, the Managing Director of Team Dandelion, has agreed to
terminate his employment

                                      -20-

      agreement with the Company. The Company further reported that it has
      instituted a strategic review of its acquired film libraries, with a view
      to increasing the rates at which the Company amortizes its investments in
      those libraries.

            As a result of the anticipated adjustments and reserves, the Company
      expects that it will not be in compliance with the terms of its existing
      bank financing facilities, and is seeking appropriate waivers of these
      potential covenant defaults. The Company is also seeking to restructure
      its financing arrangements.

      30. On this disclosure, TEAM Communications' stock dropped to below $2 per
share where it has remained since the end of the Class Period.

                      TEAM COMMUNICATIONS' FALSE FINANCIAL
                       REPORTING DURING THE CLASS PERIOD

      31. In order to inflate the price of TEAM Communications' stock,
defendants caused the Company to falsely report its results for at least the Q1,
Q2 and Q3 00 through improper revenue recognition on television licensing
agreements and by failing to properly report the value of television program
costs, thereby materially overstating its revenue, net income and EPS in at
least the Q1, Q2 and Q3 00. Ultimately, TEAM Communications reported a horrible
Q4 00, which was due to millions of dollars worth of charges related to its
prior improper accounting.

      32. TEAM Communications reported the following amounts for the Q1, Q2 and
Q3 00:

                                      -21-

                                          -------     -------    -------
         Revenue                           $6.6 M     $12.9 M    $15.3M
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Net Income (Loss)                $354,000    $ 1.3 M    $ 1.0M
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Television Programming costs      $37.6M     $47.6M     $42.2M
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      33. TEAM Communications included these results in Form 10-Qs filed with
the SEC. The Form 10-Qs, which were signed by Levin, represented that:

            The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared
      in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
      financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
      information and disclosures required for annual financial statements.
      These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31,
      1999, included in the TEAM Communications Group, Inc. ("Company")
      financial report in the Company's 10-KSB.

            In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments
      (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
      Company's financial position as of [Quarter end], and the results of
      operations and cash flows for the [period] ended [at quarter end] have
      been included. The results of operations for the [quarter and year to
      date], are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
      the full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the financial
      statements and footnotes thereto included

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

      in the Company's 10-KSB filed for the year ended December 31, 1999.

      34. These representations were false and misleading when made, as TEAM
Communications' financial statements for the Q1, Q2 and Q3 00 were not a fair
presentation of TEAM Communications' results and were presented in violation of
GAAP and SEC rules.

      35. GAAP are those principles recognized by the accounting profession as
the conventions, rules and procedures necessary to define accepted accounting
practice at a particular time. SEC Regulation S-X (17 C.F.R. ss.210.4-01(a)
(1)), states that financial statements filed with the SEC which are not prepared
in compliance with GAAP are presumed to be misleading and inaccurate, despite
footnote or other disclosure. Regulation S-X requires that interim financial
statements must also comply with GAAP, with the exception that interim financial
statements need not include disclosure which would be duplicative of disclosures
accompanying annual financial statements. 17 C.F.R. ss.210.10-01(a).

      36. The Individual Defendants caused TEAM Communications to falsify its
reported financial results through its improper revenue recognition on licensing
deals and failure to properly record the value of television programming costs.

      37. GAAP, as set forth in FASB Statement of Accounting Standard ("SFAS")
No. 53, Financial Reporting by Producers and Distributors of Motion Picture
Films, states that:

            5. Motion picture companies and independent producers and
      distributors (licensors) shall consider a license agreement for television
      program material as a sale of a right or a group of rights.

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

            6. A licensor shall recognize revenue from a license agreement for
      television program material when the license period begins and all of the
      following conditions have been met:

            a.    The license fee for each film is known.

            b.    The cost of each film is known or reasonably determinable.

            c.    Collectability of the full license fee is reasonably assured.

            d.    The film has been accepted by the licensee in accordance with
                  the conditions of the license agreement.

            e.    The film is available for its first showing or telecast.
                  Unless a conflicting license prevents usage by the licensee,
                  restrictions under the same license agreement or another
                  license agreement with the same licensee on the timing of the
                  subsequent showings shall not affect this condition.

      38. Unfortunately for investors, TEAM Communications' results, and the
representations concerning them, were false. On 2/13/01, TEAM Communications
revealed that it was taking an enormous $21 million charge against earnings in
the Q4 00 and that it had launched an internal examination as to whether certain
of its film acquisition and distribution transactions lacked economic substance.
These charges included $11 million to reserve for uncollectible long-term
receivables and $10 million to write-down the value of film programming costs,
and included $9 million to

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

write-down the investment in Dandelion U.K. The Company will also record a
charge for $2 million to reflect a change in accounting due to the issuance of a
new pronouncement on financial reporting by film producers.

      39. Had the charges been properly recorded during the Class Period, TEAM
Communications would have reported a large loss in each quarter as opposed to
the profit it actually reported.

      40. Due to these accounting improprieties, the Company presented its
financial results and statements in a manner which violated GAAP, including the
following fundamental accounting principles:

            (a) The principle that interim financial reporting should be based
upon the same accounting principles and practices used to prepare annual
financial statements was violated (APB No. 28, (Para)10);

            (b) The principle that financial reporting should provide
information that is useful to present and potential investors and creditors and
other users in making rational investment, credit and similar decisions was
violated (FASB Statement of Concepts No. 1, (Para)34);

            (c) The principle that financial reporting should provide
information about the economic resources of an enterprise, the claims to those
resources, and effects of transactions, events and circumstances that change
resources and claims to those resources was violated (FASB Statement of Concepts
No. 1, (Para)40);

            (d) The principle that financial reporting should provide
information about how management of an enterprise has discharged its stewardship
responsibility to owners (stockholders)

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

for the use of enterprise resources entrusted to it was violated. To the extent
that management offers securities of the enterprise to the public, it
voluntarily accepts wider responsibilities for accountability to prospective
investors and to the public in general (FASB Statement of Concepts No. 1,
(Para)50);

            (e) The principle that financial reporting should provide
information about an enterprise's financial performance during a period was
violated. Investors and creditors often use information about the past to help
in assessing the prospects of an enterprise. Thus, although investment and
credit decisions reflect investors' expectations about future enterprise
performance, those expectations are commonly based at least partly on
evaluations of past enterprise performance (FASB Statement of Concepts No. 1,
(Para)42);

            (f) The principle that financial reporting should be reliable in
that it represents what it purports to represent was violated. That information
should be reliable as well as relevant is a notion that is central to accounting
(FASB Statement of Concepts No. 2, (Para) (Para)58-59);

            (g) The principle of completeness, which means that nothing is left
out of the information that may be necessary to insure that it validly
represents underlying events and conditions was violated (FASB Statement of
Concepts No. 2, (Para)79); and

            (h) The principle that conservatism be used as a prudent reaction to
uncertainty to try to ensure that uncertainties and risks inherent in business
situations are adequately considered was violated. The best way to avoid injury
to investors is to try to

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

ensure that what is reported represents what it purports to represent (FASB
Statement of Concepts No. 2, (Para) (Para)95, 97).

      41. Further, the undisclosed adverse information concealed by defendants
during the Class Period is the type of information which, because of SEC
regulations, regulations of the national stock exchanges and customary business
practice, is expected by investors and securities analysts to be disclosed and
is known by corporate officials and their legal and financial advisors to be the
type of information which is expected to be and must be disclosed.

                             FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF

                   For Violation of ss.10(b) of the 1934 Act
                     and Rule 10b-5 Against All Defendants

      42. Plaintiff incorporates (Para) (Para)1-41 by reference.

      43. During the Class Period, defendants disseminated or approved the false
statements specified above, which they knew or recklessly disregarded were
misleading in that they contained misrepresentations and failed to disclose
material facts necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

      44. Defendants violated ss.10(b) of the 1934 Act and Rule 10b-5 in that
they:

            (a) Employed devices, schemes, and artifices to defraud;

            (b) Made untrue statements of material facts or omitted to state
material facts necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

            (c) Engaged in acts, practices, and a course of business that
operated as a fraud or deceit upon plaintiff and others

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

similarly situated in connection with their purchases of TEAM Communications
publicly traded securities during the Class Period.

      45. Plaintiff and the Class have suffered damages in that, in reliance on
the integrity of the market, they paid artificially inflated prices for TEAM
Communications publicly traded securities. Plaintiff and the Class would not
have purchased TEAM Communications publicly traded securities at the prices they
paid, or at all, if they had been aware that the market prices had been
artificially and falsely inflated by defendants' misleading statements.

      46. As a direct and proximate result of these defendants' wrongful
conduct, plaintiff and the other members of the Class suffered damages in
connection with their purchases of TEAM Communications publicly traded
securities during the Class Period.

                            SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF

                   For Violation of ss.20(a) of the 1934 Act
                             Against All Defendants

      47. Plaintiff incorporates (Para)(Para)1-46 by reference.

      48. The Individual Defendants acted as controlling persons of TEAM
Communications within the meaning of ss.20(a) of the 1934 Act. By reason of
their positions as officers and/or directors of TEAM Communications, and their
ownership of TEAM Communications stock, the Individual Defendants had the power
and authority to cause TEAM Communications to engage in the wrongful conduct
complained of herein. TEAM Communications controlled each of the Individual
Defendants and all of its employees. By reason of such conduct, the Individual
Defendants and TEAM Communications are liable pursuant to ss.20(a) of the 1934
Act.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

                            CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS

      49. Plaintiff brings this action as a class action pursuant to Rule 23 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on behalf of all persons who purchased TEAM
Communications publicly traded securities (the "Class") on the open market
during the Class Period. Excluded from the Class are defendants.

      50. The members of the Class are so numerous that joinder of all members
is impracticable. The disposition of their claims in a class action will provide
substantial benefits to the parties and the Court. TEAM Communications had more
than 14 million shares of stock outstanding, owned by hundreds if not thousands
of persons.

      51. There is a well-defined community of interest in the questions of law
and fact involved in this case. Questions of law and fact common to the members
of the Class which predominate over questions which may affect individual Class
members include:

            (a) Whether the 1934 Act was violated by defendants;

            (b) Whether defendants omitted and/or misrepresented material facts;

            (c) Whether defendants' statements omitted material facts necessary
to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading;

            (d) Whether defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that their
statements were false and misleading;

            (e) Whether the prices of TEAM Communications' publicly traded
securities were artificially inflated; and

            (f) The extent of damage sustained by Class members and the
appropriate measure of damages.

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

      52. Plaintiff's claims are typical of those of the Class because plaintiff
and the Class sustained damages from defendants' wrongful conduct.

      53. Plaintiff will adequately protect the interests of the Class and has
retained counsel who are experienced in class action securities litigation.
Plaintiff has no interests which conflict with those of the Class.

      54. A class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and
efficient adjudication of this controversy.

                             STATUTORY SAFE HARBOR

      55. The statutory safe harbor provided for forward-looking statements
under certain circumstances does not apply to any of the allegedly false
forward-looking statements pleaded in this Complaint. The safe harbor does not
apply to TEAM Communications' allegedly false financial statements. None of the
written forward-looking statements made were identified as forward-looking
statements, nor was it stated that actual results "could differ materially from
those projected." Nor did meaningful cautionary statements identifying important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements accompany those forward-looking statements. Each of
the forward-looking statements alleged herein to be false was authorized by an
executive officer of TEAM Communications and was actually known by each of the
Individual Defendants to be false when made.

                               PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays for judgment as follows:

      A. Declaring this action to be a proper class action pursuant to Rule 23;

      B. Awarding plaintiff and the members of the Class damages, interest and
costs; and

      C. Awarding such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

                                  JURY DEMAND

      Plaintiff demands a trial by jury.
