                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The accompanying unaudited financial statements, which are for interim
periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the annual financial
statements. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996 of Imatec, Ltd. (the "Company"),
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 1996
balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

2. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. Loss per share was computed based upon the weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997. Fully-dilutive loss per common
share has not been presented because it was anti-dilutive.

In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share",
which changes the calculations and disclosures of earnings per share. As of
January 1, 1997 the Company adopted Statement No. 128 without material effect.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company was organized on November 17, 1988 and is in the development
stage. To date, the Company's activities have primarily consisted of research
and development activities with respect to the development of the Company's
technology and an Imatec 20/20 System for the medical diagnostic imaging
field. During this time, the Company has received only minimal revenues from
limited non-recurring consulting activities. The Company believes, based upon
its own internal budgets, that the Company's available cash resources will be
sufficient for the Company :(i) to engage in licensing the Company's
technology and the Imatec 20/20 System developed for the medical diagnostic
imaging field to manufacturers of medical diagnostic imaging products such as
scanners, cameras and image reproduction systems, (ii) to engage in marketing
activities to facilitate the licensing of the Company's technology and its
Imatec 20/20 Systems, (iii) to continue research and development activities
with respect to other applications of the Company's technology in other
imaging fields, such as graphic arts, computer, cinematography and
television/video, and (iv) otherwise conduct its operations at least through
the year ending December 31, 1997.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

The Company does not currently anticipate any major research and development
expenditures during the next 12 months, however, this may change depending
upon the marketplace's reaction and requirements to implement the Company's
technology.

The Company has no current plans to purchase any significant fixed assets or
to significantly change the number of employees.

On November 6, 1997, the Company filed a Schedule 13E-3 and a preliminary
Proxy Statement relating to its Annual Meeting where Shareholders will be
asked to consider (1) the election of a new Board of Directors, (2) the
ratification and appointment of Most Horowitz & Company LLP as the
Corporation's independent certified public accountants, and (3) the approval
of the sale (the "Sale") of substantially all of the operations of the Company
through the sale of all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of a
newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary ("Newco) of the Company to Dr. Hanoch
Shalit, current President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and
Secretary of the Company.

The consideration to be received by the Company for the Sale of all of the
outstanding Newco Common Stock to Dr. Shalit consists of (i) the termination
of Dr. Shalit's Employment Agreement in exchange for a payment by the Company
to Dr. Shalit of $634,619 (pre-tax) in cash, which is the equivalent of
$300,000 After Tax (defined below): and (ii) the termination of the License
Agreement. In addition, Dr. Shalit and the Company have agreed that Dr. Shalit
will sell all of his 835,117 shares of Imatec Common Stock in the public
market or to the Company at a minimum price of $3.41 pre-tax (the equivalent
of $2.34 per share AfterTax) over a period of 30 months with certain
guaranteed minimum payments backed by a letter of credit of the Company. After
Tax means the amount remaining after deducting individual federal (including
capital gains tax), state and local income taxes at the highest tax rate
applicable to Dr. Shalit in effect at the time of each payment. The company
has also agreed to pay, in certain circumstances, the brokerage commission on
such sales.

If the Sale to Dr. Shalit is approved, the new Board of Directors of the
Company will be charged with acquiring a new operating business or businesses
which would meet the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Small Cap initial listing
criteria.

The Company intends to hold the Annual Meeting in December 1997.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30 increased $114,955 (48%) and $503,839 (89%) from $240,951 and
$565,629 in 1996 to $355,906 and $1,069,468 in 1997. Most of this increase is
the result of increased personnel, office rent and supplies and professional
fees. Most of the professional fees increased as a result of the Company's
filing requirements by the SEC and NASDAQ.

For the three and six months ended September 30, interest income increased
from $25,185 and $51,781 for 1996 to $53,485 and $173,521 for 1997. Similarly,
interest expense decreased from $466,169 and $1,095,843 to $0 from 1996 to
1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is in the development stage and, primarily as a consequence of
expenses incurred in connection with research and development activities, at
September 30, 1997 the Company had an accumulated stockholders' deficit of
$4,420,396. The Company has continued to incur losses since September 30,
1997.
