NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CONSOLIDATING         
         PRINCIPLES

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
         of Laser Master International Inc. and its wholly owned
         subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
         transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The company was founded in 1981 and prints for the textile
         industry and the gift wrap paper industry. The company sells
         its products and services nationwide through its direct sales
         force and resellers. In addition the company has a real estate
         division that rents space in the factory buildings owned by
         the company.

         All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated
         in accordance with established accounting principles.

             produces an extensive line of patterns and designs which are
             sold to industrial customers engaged in the manufacture of
             varied end products.

         2.  HARRISON REALTY CORP.

             This company owns and operates a 240,000 sq. ft. factory
             building in Harrison, New Jersey. There are two
             unaffiliated tenants currently occupying 49% of the
             space.

             reorganization under common control.

             Aug 31, 1995.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

<PAGE>

         (c)  Depreciation of property, plant, equipment and furniture is 
              calculated on the straight line method based on estimated  
              useful lives of 10 to 33 years for buildings and 
              improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery, equipment and
              furniture.

         (d)  Taxes:
              Laser Master International, Inc. is a "C" corporation with
              the Federal, State and City taxing authorities. All
              corporate taxes are accrued and paid on the corporate
              level.

NOTE 3.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

         The account on the balance sheet of Laser Master International
         Inc. referred to as "Accounts Receivable-Net" represents amounts due
         from customers for goods sold and delivered on a current basis.
         The accounts receivable so stated are encumbered to one of the
         company's lenders.

NOTE 4.  INVENTORIES

         The inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a

NOTE 5.  FACTORY BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS

         One of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the company, Harrison 
         Realty Corp., owns the land and the building situated at
         1000 First Street, Harrison, New Jersey. The building is 
         encumbered by a mortgage obtained from National Westminster Bank
         and the New Jersey EDA.

NOTE 6.  MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT

         The machinery and equipment is owned by the wholly owned  subsidiary 
         Flexo-Craft Prints Inc. It consists of  various  pieces of heavy 
         equipment, the  acquisition of which has  been financed on an 
         individual basis at the time of  purchase and installation.  For  
         details of these encumbrances, reference is  made to the  
         consolidated  schedule of total debt  in the 10K.

NOTE 7.  DEPRECIATION

         Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation 
         is computed by applying the straight-line method to individual  
         items. Where accelerated depreciation methods are used for 
         tax purposes, deferred income taxes may be recorded. 
         Maintenance and repairs were charged to expenses as 
         incurred.

                                            --------        --------
         Depreciation charged to
         Cost of Sales                      $384,901        $419,374
                                            ========        ========


                                         -9-

<PAGE>

         The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:

         Building and Improvements                    3%
         Machinery and Equipment                  10% - 14.3%
         Furniture and Fixtures                      10%


NOTE 8.  ENGRAVING INVENTORY

         The company's principal operating subsidiary, Flexo-Craft            
         Prints Inc. is engaged in the manufacture of designs and        
         patterns which by means of a laser engraving process 
         grooves are engraved on a rubber sleeve, and by means 
         of a computer color separation (up to six colors) 
         fabricate the matrix for the printing phase of 
         operations.

         In order to present to the trade a wide selection of                 
         proprietary patterns and designs, the company maintains a       
         constant library of approximately 5,000 sleeves. In case 
         of obsolete or discontinued designs, sleeves become 
         reusable after mechanically grinding flat the old pattern 
         and vulcanizing the surface.

         For accounting purposes, an obsolescence factor is charged
         based on the entire cost of discontinued patterns, exclusive of 
         the extended life of the reusable rubber sleeves. 
         Historically this method results in a provision for 
         depreciation of l0% per year of the total library 
         inventory of complete patterns on sleeves.

                 MANAGEMENT'S COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                           
                                           

                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                ---------------------

REVENUES

For the nine months ended Aug 31, 1996 revenues increased 26% from the prior
year. For the current quarter revenues increased 72% over the   comparable
quarter last year. The increase in revenues was due to the
fact that the company's new computerized, automated, robotic press began
full operations in July. This press triples the company's printing capacity and
can print many more applications than the 2 six color
presses can. Management expects sales to be higher in the next quarter
than in this quarter.

GROSS PROFIT

For the nine months ended Aug 31, 1996 gross profit was 32% as compared to 27%
for the same period in the previous year. The increase is a result of the fact
that raw material prices have decreased and that the company
can operate more efficiently in its new plant than in the old plant.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses was 25% of sales for the   nine
months ended Aug 31, 1996 and the same period for the previous year. This was as
a result of the Company's attempt to generate additional sales volume through
expanded promotional efforts and additional sales commissions and additional
start up expenses because the company is   gearing up for a higher sales volume
in future periods due to the     expected contributions from the 8 color press
which began full operations
in July. Management anticipates that as sales volume increases, SG&A
expenses should be reduced as a percentage of sales.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the
same period for the previous year. This was as a result of higher levels of
debt.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company is well positioned to meet anticipated future capital requirements
necessary for purchase of equipment and financing of   current operations. At
Aug 31, 1996 the Company had working capital of $3,523,387. Liquidity is
sustained principally through funds provided from operations with unused bank
lines of credit available to provide additional sources of capital when
required. Management does not anticipate any difficulties in financing existing
operations.
