PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS,
INCLUDING INFORMATION UNDER "RISK FACTORS". THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY
INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
THE COMPANY
Laser Master International, Inc. ("Laser Master" or the "Company") is a New
York Corporation, incorporated on May 5, 1981, originally under the name
Lasercraft Industries, Inc. Prior to said date, and in October 1980, in
accordance with a specific plan or reorganization of companies under common
control and exchange of stock, the Company was organized as a holding company
for purposes of acquiring all the issued and outstanding Common Stock of
Flexo-Craft Prints, Inc., Utmost Office Supplies, Inc., 185 Front Street Realty
Corp, and Harrison Realty Corp.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in the use of
a computerized laser system to accomplish Flexographic printing for industrial
and commercial printing and engraving and counts among its customers large
corporations, some of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The principal process of Flexo-Craft is the use of a Zed laser in the
manufacturing of its products. The Zed laser process emits a "coherent" wave
length (color). A large degree of control is afforded and as a consequence,
exceptionally high density of power can be delivered to a well defined area by
focusing the light energy. Using a computer driven system, the laser beam makes
grooves in the form of designs and patterns on to a rubber material. The rubber
material is then sealed on a steel or aluminum cylinder which is then placed on
a printing press. In the heat transfer printing process, the ink is injected
into the grooves using a computer driven process and then the rubber coated
cylinder prints on heat transfer paper. The heat transfer paper is sold to
manufacturers who then seal it onto textile materials. The same process is used
for gift wrap paper, except the paper itself is the final product. One of the
Company's six color presses prints heat transfer paper, the Company's eight
color press also prints gift wrap paper.
The principal parts of the laser system are the scanning mechanism, rotating
cylinders and axial scanning platform. In operation, artwork is mounted on a
cylinder. As the artwork cylinder rotates, the helium neon laser scanning head
reads tonal or line values of a single circumferential scan. A memory stores the
data and matches it to the 360 degree rotation of the printing roller. The
controlled output of the Everlase Co2 Laser is optically deflected from the
laser enclosure through metal tubes to the engraving head. The collimated laser
beam can be safely projected over large distances without distortion or
inaccuracy. As the cylinder rotates, the scanning-engraving heads move axially
between the grooves. The laser receives appropriate commands from the
micro-processor insert. A control panel integrates the controls of the Co2 laser
with the engraving mechanism.
The patterns and designs as created and prepared by artists on multi-colored
photographic film segments are fed into the computer, which is an integral part
of the laser system. Colored photographic film segments are fed into the
computer (this service is contracted out by the Company) and thereafter
engraves, on a fully automated basis, each dedicated groove of the design
simultaneously, yet separately, for each color. The Company, by this method, is
able to service many diverse industries that require material in their own
production. Due to the exactness of the engraving by the laser ray, the grooves
of the design are so true that the impregnation of specific colored inks in the
subsequent printing process produce perfect images. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, there is only one major and three minor competitors in the
continental United States that operate a comparable version of the laser concept
and a subliflex flexographic printing press which accommodates fewer colors and
produces material of a substantially narrower width.
The Company acquired a new eight ink color press which was put into full
operation in July 1996. The new eight color press can print on either heat
transfer or gift wrap paper. The new eight color press also allows the Company
to print for the wallpaper, home furnishings and carpet industries. The eight
color
4
<PAGE>
press is three times faster than the newest six color presses. The Company
receives patterns from customers and also designs its own patterns using a
computerized color separating system. The Company has an extensive inventory of
rubber coated cylinders and designs with engravings that can be continually
reused in its process.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should review carefully and consider the factors
described under "Risk Factors".
The securities offered hereby are highly speculative in nature and involve a
high degree of risk. Therefore, each prospective investor should consider very
carefully certain risks and speculative factors inherent in and affecting the
business of the Company prior to the purchase of any of its common stock as well
as all of the other matters set forth herein. The Company refers each
prospective investor to the 10-KSB Report filed for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1995 and to Forms 10-QSB and 10-QSB/A (No. 1) for the fiscal
quarter ended February 29, 1996, and Forms 10-QSB and 10-QSB/A (No. 1) for the
fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1996 as well as the Form 8-K Reports all of which
are incorporated by reference herein. Certain of these risks and speculative
factors are as follows:
1. NEW INDUSTRY. The primary business of the Company is the use of the
laser process as applied to the industrial and commercial printing and engraving
industry and while the Company has achieved success in this area, the use of
lasers, specifically in the printing and engraving area, is a relatively new
concept. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue
utilization of lasers without upgrading its technology which may require
substantial additional capital in order to maintain the Company's machinery and
equipment at a high level of efficiency.
2. CHANGING TECHNOLOGY. The field of lasers is an ever-expanding and
changing area of technology. The Company's ability to compete successfully in
the markets in which it engages will depend upon the Company's ability to
develop and acquire new and improved laser technologies so as to be in a
position to compete with new companies which may enter into the laser printing
and engraving business.
3. COMPETITION. The utilization of the laser in the industrial and
commercial printing business is a relatively new concept and to the Company's
knowledge, there are less than five companies in the United States utilizing the
laser concept in a similar manner as that of the Company. There can be no
assurance that companies with greater financial and technical capabilities will
not enter into the textile printing and engraving market. It is possible that
the Company may experience increased competition from companies with more
technically oriented personnel. The Company may not be able to compete
successfully with such companies because of its limited capital and technical
ability and may be subject to inherent risks in the area of the business it is
involved in.
4. DEPENDENCE ON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER. There is only one known
manufacturer of the type of laser device utilized by the Company and therefore
the Company is dependent upon the manufacturer of the laser device utilized in
its printing and engraving business. The manufacturer of the printing equipment
may at its option elect to significantly increase prices which it charges the
Company for parts and related equipment and in addition may also generally
increase its prices for its laser product so that the Company's intended
purchase of new laser equipment may be subject to significant price increases
which may materially and adversely affect its working capital position and/or
may require additional financing from borrowing or equity offerings.
5. NO PATENT PROTECTION. The Company does not have any patent protection
with respect to the utilization of the laser process and there is no assurance
that the laser process being utilized by it may not be improved upon by other
companies or that the Company's technology in its present state may be
duplicated and utilized by existing competitors of the Company.
6. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. At the present time the Company is
dependent on its President, Mendel Klein. The loss or incapacity of Mendel Klein
may be detrimental to the business operation of the Company. The Company's
successful operations in the future will necessarily depend on its ability to
employ additional executive personnel. There can be no assurance that the
Company may be able to attract qualified personnel.
6
<PAGE>
7. NO KEY MAN LIFE INSURANCE. At the present time the Company does not have
a life or disability insurance policy on Mr. Mendel Klein the Company's Chairman
and President. In the event of Mr. Klein's death or incapacity the Company may
suffer adverse management effects, and may not be able to attract and/or retain
a suitable replacement for Mr. Klein.
8. INSIDER CONTROL. Upon exercise of all stock options granted by the
Company to officers, directors and key employees of the Company, a majority of
all shares of Common Stock outstanding, will be owned by officers, directors,
and key employees of the Company. Accordingly by virtue of their stock holdings,
they will be able to control the affairs and policies of the Company (see
"Management" and "Principal Shareholders" as described in the Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ending November 30, 1995, incorporated herein by reference.) The
company, on January 19, 1996, effective January 2, 1996, entered into three (3)
employment agreements with Messrs. Abraham Klein, Dov Klein and Hershel Klein
and granted an aggregate of 3,450,000 options to purchase 3,450,000 shares of
common stock at $1.00 per share over a period of ten (10) years at the rate of
345,000 options per year. The employment agreements further provide the employee
at his option may renew the employment agreement at the end of the 5 year term
by providing written notice of renewal 180 days (6 months) to the Company to
renew the agreement under the same terms and conditions of the original
employment agreement, or in the alternative to be paid the sum of $150,000 per
annum without any additional stock options as provided in the initial employment
agreement. The initial employment contracts provide for salary compensation of
$50,000 per annum in addition to 115,000 stock options at $1.00 per share to
purchase 115,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company per employee each
year as long as employee is employed by the Company and is in good standing. The
Company has agreed to grant piggyback cost free registration rights to each
employee for option shares awarded as part of the compensation to be paid by the
Company. Messrs. Abraham Klein, Dov Klein and Hershel Klein are related to
Mendel Klein, President and Chairman of the Board of the Company. Mr. Mendel
Klein disclaims any beneficial ownership of the options to be awarded to Messrs.
Abraham Klein, Dov Klein and Hershel Klein (see Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions). The Company has the option to transfer any of the stock
options granted herein to a qualified or non-qualified employee stock option
plan during the term of the employment agreements. The Company does not have an
independent audit or compensation committee, and while the company intends to
establish an audit and compensation committees in the near future, there is no
assurance that it will do so.
9. PREVIOUS EARNINGS. The Company had losses of $(178,957) for the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1995. For the six months ended May 31, 1996 the Company
had losses of approximately $(116,000). There can be no assurance that the
Company will not continue to have losses or to be able to achieve positive
earnings in the future.
10. NO DIVIDENDS. The anticipated capital requirements of the Company are
such that its earnings, if any, will be applied to such requirements. Further
there are no assurances that the Company may have earnings in the future.
Therefore, the purchasers of the shares offered hereby may not expect to realize
a return on their investment in such shares in the form of dividends in the
foreseeable future, if ever.
11. PUBLIC MARKET TRADING. The Company is currently trading on the NASDAQ
OTC Bulletin Board-Registered Trademark- Trading System and not on the National
Over the Counter Computerized Trading Market System. While the Company meets the
capital requirements to be listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Trading System, it
does not meet the minimum price quotation. There is no assurance that the
Company may be able to meet that qualification within the next 90 to 180 days of
trading, or that it will continue to qualify for trading on the NASDAQ OTC
Bulletin Board-Registered Trademark- Trading System.
12. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALES. Sales of substantial amounts of
Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the
Common Stock. Upon closing of its recently completed private placement, the
Company had a total of 10,113,336 shares of Common Stock outstanding and
20,000,000 shares reserved for issuance (herein after collectively, "Reserved
Securities") (does not include potential aggregate of 3,450,000 Stock Options to
be awarded to Messrs. Abraham, Dov and
7
<PAGE>
Hershel Klein pursuant to employment contacts (over a ten year period) and a
potential 1,200,000 stock options to be awarded to Mr. Mendel Klein (over a five
year period.)) pursuant to the Company's Qualified Stock Option Plan and
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Directors, Officers and Consultants approved
by shareholders, (see Selling Stockholders herein for itemization of options and
warrants granted and subject to this registration). The Company presently has
10,297,028 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, 3,149,656 are freely
tradeable without restriction under the 1933 Act and the remaining 7,147,372
shares of Common Stock (including of 3,625,000 shares of stock owned by Mr.
Mendel Klein, the president and chief executive officer of the Company and
3,422,372 shares included in the within offering, see Selling Stockholders
herein) are "restricted securities" as defined by Rule 144 promulgated under the
1933 Act.
13. RULE 144 SHARES AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Approximately 3,625,000 of the
presently outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are owned by Mr.
Mendel Klein the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. These shares
are "restricted securities" as that term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated
under the Act and may be sold only in compliance with such Rule or pursuant to
registration under the Act or pursuant to another exemption therefrom.
Generally, under Rule 144, each person holding restricted securities for a
period of two years may, every three months, sell in ordinary brokerage
transactions an amount of shares which does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of
the Company's then outstanding Common Stock or (ii) the average weekly volume of
trading of such Common Stock as reported during the preceding four calendar
weeks. Certain non-affiliated persons may sell without regard to such
restrictions after holding such securities for three years. The Company is
unable to predict the effect that sales made under Rule 144, pursuant to future
registration statements or otherwise, may have on any then prevailing market
price for the Company's securities although it is likely that sales of a large
number of securities would depress such market price.
14. DILUTION. Investors participating in this Offering may experience
substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of their investment on a
common stock basis. Additional dilution may also be incurred upon the exercise
of outstanding options and warrants, granted under the Company's stock option
plans in addition to options granted to officers, directors, employees and
consultants of the Company.
15. TRADING MARKET LIQUIDITY. Investors should be aware that 820,000 shares
of common stock, or a portion thereof, sold by the Company under the Company's
recently completed private placement may be subject to a Regulation S exemption.
Any applicable exemptions may have an adverse impact upon the trading market of
the Company's Common Stock. Mr. Mendel Klein, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company owns approximately 3,625,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock which shares are eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act.
16. ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY: The Company anticipates
an increasing amount of orders for its products from current and new customers.
It will only be able to fill the increase in orders and increase its business
and profitability dependent upon the performance of its high tech equipment.
17. LABOR RELATIONS/ UNION CONTRACTS The Company employs 70 employees as
production employees who are members of Local 17-18 of the United Production
Workers. The Company is a Member of an Association that has a Collective
Bargaining Agent with AFL CIO Local 17-18 of the Production Workers Union. While
the Company presently enjoys favorable relations with its employees, there can
be no assurance that such relationship will continue.
18. EQUIPMENT OPERATION. The Company has a substantial amount of its
working capital and credit line availability in the development of an eight
color press which enables the Company to provide its product on a mass produced
basis for its customers. The Company experienced significant time delays and
expense with the start-up of the 8 color press. While the 8 color press is
presently operational, there is no assurance that the press will remain fully
operational and the Company may experience additional delay and cost in its
operation.

<PAGE>
19. PENDING LEGAL ACTION. The Company is a plaintiff in an action in the
New York State Supreme Court against HBE Leasing Corp ("HBE"). While the Company
believes it has a meritorious cause of action, there is no assurance that it
will obtain a Judgment against HBE or that a judgment will be collectible by the
Company. HBE has filed a counter-claim against the Company for $3,000,000 for
actual and punitive damages. The Company believes that it has a meritorious
defense to the counter-claim.
20. MORTGAGED REAL PROPERTY. The Company's real property, executive
offices, plant and manufacturing facility are encumbered with two real property
mortgages aggregating the sum of $2,826,667.
21. ENVIRONMENTAL. The Company utilizes chemicals and related materials in
the manufacturing process. While the Company has taken steps to assure that its
manufacturing process is in compliance with both federal and state environmental
standards, there are no assurances that the company will remain in compliance or
that existing regulations will not be modified or revised resulting in the
Company being required to expend additional costs and expenses.

<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock
under the offering by Selling Stockholders. In the event any option or warrant
holder elects to exercise, then in that event the Company will receive proceeds.
In the event proceeds are received, they will be used for working capital
purposes.
The Company has agreed to provide to selling stockholders a cost free
registration for shares owed by Selling Stockholders and the shares underlying
options and warrants.
DIVIDENDS
The Company from its inception has retained all earnings. The Company
currently intends to retain all earnings when realized to finance future growth
and therefore does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock
for the foreseeable future.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price is to be determined by the market price for the Company's
Common Stock as traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board-Registered Trademark-
market. There is no material disparity between the offering price of the Common
Stock being registered and the market price of outstanding shares based upon the
current market price.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at May 31,
1995 as adjusted to give effect to the issuance and sale of the stock offered

</TABLE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL YEAR 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1994
- PRINTING SEGMENT
Net sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, totaled $8,432,284 as
compared to $8,158,051 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, for an
increase of 3%. Management attributes the increase in sales to the move by the
Company to a larger facility in the 3rd quarter of fiscal year 1995. The move to
the new facility enabled the Company to increase its capacity five fold. The
Company's new 8 color press which was delivered and assembled in the 3rd quarter
did not have an impact on sales in Fiscal year 1995, due to start up delays,
however it is expected to help significantly increase sales in the future. The
start up delays associated with the implementation of the new 8 color press,
required the Company to continually test and modify the press using tremendous
amounts of paper, supplies and manpower which contributed to the loss from
operations this past fiscal year. Another factor contributing to diminished
profits was the relocation of the Company's plant and executive offices. The
relocation caused a temporary interruption of production and resulted in
employee turnover. The new plant is now fully operational, and the 8 color press
is working at almost 100% capacity. Management expects sales and profits to be
significantly improved in fiscal year 1996.
Gross profit percentage for fiscal year 1995 was 29% compared to 33% for
fiscal year 1994. The decrease was due to inefficiencies from the move and from
increased raw material prices. Selling expenses were 19% of sales in fiscal year
1995 compared to 11% of sales in the prior fiscal year. The Company in fiscal
year 1995 hired two sales organizations which began to obtain significant orders
toward the end of the 1995 fiscal year, however, the organizations had a great
deal of start up expenses which contributed toward increased selling expenses in
fiscal year 1995.
11
<PAGE>
- REAL ESTATE SEGMENT
Rental income for fiscal year 1995 compared to the previous year increased
300%. During fiscal year 1995, the operating (loss) from the real estate
division was ($207,229) compared to ($282,691) in the previous year. The Company
had substantial start up expenses associated with its new building in Harrison,
New Jersey. The Company has two unaffiliated tenants with monthly rental income
of $28,855. It is anticipated that the real estate segment will be profitable in
the future as start up expenses associated with renovation of the Company's new
facility are completed.
- CORPORATE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 1995 were 9% of sales as
compared to 8% of sales for the preceding year. The increase was attributed of
increased labor turnover due to the relocation of the Company and the upgrading
by the Company, of its computer system.
Interest and finance charges paid by the Company during fiscal year 1995
increased slightly from fiscal year 1994 due to an increase in the Company's
average debt level. In fiscal year 1995 the Company borrowed $700,000 through a
2nd mortgage on the Company's building which houses the Company's executive
offices and plant facility. Additionally, the Company increased its line of
credit. The Company required additional funds to finance a higher inventory and
to fund the Company's move into additional product markets. The Company does not
expect any significant additional borrowings for the upcoming year.
- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company ended fiscal year 1995 with a current ration of 1.24 compared to
2.30 in the previous year end. Working capital and cash aggregated approximately
$852,118 and $808,746 respectively as of November 30, 1995, as compared to
$2,503,079 and $2,016,717 respectively as of November 30, 1994. Management
believes its financial position as of November 30, 1995 will enable it to take
advantage of new opportunities as they arise.
In fiscal year 1995, cash flow provided from operations, was $30,442
compared to $1,323,327 in fiscal year 1994. The increase in inventory levels is
primarily attributable to support longer lead times in obtaining raw materials.
Accounts receivable increased $873,811 due to the Company resuming operations in
August 1995 after its relocation. Due to timing of the relocation, most of the
Company's sales in fiscal year 1995 occurred from August through November 1995.
Accounts payable increased by $679,744 because of increased inventory levels.
Following the move, the Company paid vendors on a slower basis in an effort to
preserve cash. Net cash generated by investing activities during 1995 was
$313,156, which was generated by the sale of fixed assets. Cash flow used for
financing activities was $1,551,569, which was primarily a result of the
mortgage on the Company's Brooklyn property being satisfied.
As of November 30, 1995, the Company did not have any availability on its
line of credit at Merrill Lynch. During fiscal year 1995, the Company incurred
tremendous expenses in relocating its plant and setting up its new 8 color
press. This necessitated additional borrowings from National Westminster Bank
(N.A.) in the form of a 2nd mortgage of $700,000. The Company does not
anticipate any significant borrowing for working capital purposes in fiscal year
1996.
The Company anticipates that its capital resources provided from cash flow
from operations and anticipated financing under a proposed private placement
will be sufficient to meet its financing requirements for fiscal year 1996.

- INFLATIONARY IMPACT
Since the inception of operations, inflation has not significantly affected
the operating results of the Company. However, inflation and changing interest
rates have had a significant effect on the economy in general and, therefore,
could affect the operating results of the Company in the future.
FISCAL YEAR 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1993
Net sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994 totaled $8,158,051 as
compared to $9,237,340 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1993; a decrease
of 12%. Management attributes the decrease in sales in fiscal year 1994 to a key
machine part breaking and disabling one of the Company's two six color presses
for a two month period. The interruption in business cost the Company over one
million dollars in billing and was the main factor in the decrease in sales in
fiscal year 1994. The gross profit margin for the fiscal year ended November 30,
1994 was 32%, which was 1% higher than the previous year. The Company used its
financial strength to buy raw materials at volume discounts and, to computerize
its entire manufacturing operation. Selling expenses of sales increased from 8%
of sales in fiscal year 1993 to 12% of sales in fiscal year 1994. The principal
factor in the increase of selling expenses was attributed to efforts to increase
the Company's customer base through additional promotional activities.
General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 1994 were 11% of sales
as compared to 12% of sales for the preceding year. The decrease was attributed
to implementation of increased computerization by the Company.
Interest and finance charges paid by the Company during fiscal year 1994
increased substantially from the previous year due to an increase in the
Company's average debt level. The Company borrowed $5,750,000 through a tax
exempt bond issue to finance the purchase of an 8 color press and a new factory
building.
- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company ended fiscal year 1994 with a current ration of 4:2 compared to
4:1 in fiscal year 1993. Working capital and cash aggregated approximately
$6,094,409 and $2,016,717 respectively as of November 30, 1994, as compared to
$3,302,145 and $908,458 respectively as of November 30, 1993.
In fiscal year 1994, cash flow defined as the sum of net income plus
depreciation and amortization totaled $792,762. Capital expenditures, including
assets acquired under capitalized leases were $3,036,968 principally for
equipment purchases and facilities improvements. Additionally, in fiscal year
1994, the Company made principal payments of $330,692 against long term debt
obligations and capitalized leases.
As of November 30, 1994, the Company had $2,300,000 available on its line of
credit with Merrill Lynch. During fiscal year 1994, the Company committed to
purchasing an 8 color press and a new factory building. This was financed by
long term financing in the form of a New Jersey Tax Exempt Bond Issue for
$5,750,000.
- INFLATIONARY IMPACT
Since the inception of operations, inflation has not significantly affected
the operating results of the Company. However, inflation and changing interest
rates have had a significant effect on the economy in general and, therefore,
could affect the operating results of the Company in the future.
BUSINESS
GENERAL
Laser Master is a New York Corporation, incorporated on May 5, 1981,
originally under the name Lasercraft Industries, Inc. Prior to said date, and in
October 1980, in accordance with a specific plan or
13
<PAGE>
reorganization of companies under common control and exchange of stock, the
Company was organized as a holding company for purposes of acquiring all the
issued and outstanding Common Stock of Flexo-Craft Prints, Inc., Utmost Office
Supplies, Inc. and 185 Front Street Realty Corp.
The Company's executive offices and plant facility are located at 1000 First
Street, Harrison, New Jersey 07029 (telephone number 1-800-78-LASER). Harrison
Realty Corp. ("Harrison Realty"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owns
the real property at 1000 First Street in Harrison, New Jersey. Flexo-Craft
Prints, Inc., ("Flexo-Craft"), another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
is qualified to do business in the State of New Jersey.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in the use of
a computerized laser system to accomplish Flexographic printing for industrial
and commercial printing and engraving and counts among its customers large
corporations, some of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
FLEXO CRAFT (PROCESS)
The principal process of Flexo-Craft is the use of a Zed laser in the
manufacturing of its products. The Zed laser process emits a "coherent" wave
length (color). A large degree of control is afforded and as a consequence,
exceptionally high density of power can be delivered to a well defined area by
focusing the light energy. Using a computer driven system, the laser beam makes
grooves in the form of designs and patterns on to a rubber material. The rubber
material is then sealed on a steel or aluminum cylinder which is then placed on
a printing press. In the heat transfer printing process, the ink is injected
into the grooves using a computer driven process and then the rubber coated
cylinder prints on heat transfer paper. The heat transfer paper is sold to
manufacturers who then seal it onto textile materials. The same process is used
for gift wrap paper, except the paper itself is the final product. One of the
Company's six color presses prints heat transfer paper, the Company's eight
color press also prints gift wrap paper.
The principal parts of the laser system are the scanning mechanism, rotating
cylinders and axial scanning platform. In operation, artwork is mounted on a
cylinder. As the artwork cylinder rotates, the helium neon laser scanning head
reads tonal or line values of a single circumferential scan. A memory stores the
data and matches it to the 360 degree rotation of the printing roller. The
controlled output of the Everlase Co2 Laser is optically deflected from the
laser enclosure through metal tubes to the engraving head. The collimated laser
beam can be safely projected over large distances without distortion or
inaccuracy. As the cylinder rotates, the scanning-engraving heads move axially
between the grooves. The laser receives appropriate commands from the
micro-processor insert. A control panel integrates the controls of the Co2 laser
with the engraving mechanism.
The patterns and designs as created and prepared by artists on multi-colored
photographic film segments are fed into the computer, which is an integral part
of the laser system. Colored photographic film segments are fed into the
computer (this service is contracted out by the Company) and thereafter
engraves, on a fully automated basis, each dedicated groove of the design
simultaneously, yet separately, for each color. The Company, by this method, is
able to service many diverse industries that require material in their own
production. Due to the exactness of the engraving by the laser ray, the grooves
of the design are so true that the impregnation of specific colored inks in the
subsequent printing process produce perfect images. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, there is only one major and three minor competitors in the
continental United States that operate a comparable version of the laser concept
and a subliflex flexographic printing press which accommodates fewer colors and
produces material of a substantially narrower width.
The Company acquired a new eight ink color press which was put into full
operation in July 1996. The new eight color press can print on either heat
transfer or gift wrap paper. The new eight color press also allows the Company
to print for the wallpaper, home furnishings and carpet industries. The eight
color press is three times faster than the newest six color presses. The Company
receives patterns from customers and also designs its own patterns using a
computerized color separating system. The Company
14
<PAGE>
has an extensive inventory of rubber coated cylinders and designs with
engravings that can be continually reused in its process.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no proceedings contemplated or threatened against the Company by
any Governmental agency. The Company's Subsidiary, Flexo Craft Prints Inc., is a
plaintiff in an action pending in the Supreme Court, State of New York, County
of Kings, against HBE Leasing Corporation (HBE).
The claim is for over-payment of interest to and misrepresentation by HBE as
a result of an agreement by and between the Company's Subsidiary and HBE. Since
the action has commenced, Flexo-Craft has received permission from the court to
amend its complaint against HBE, and has served an amended complaint containing
additional allegations by the Company. HBE has counterclaimed against the
Company and its principal shareholder, Mendel Klein, alleging that Mr. Klein
personally guaranteed the Agreement with HBE and that should HBE be responsible
to the Company, Mr. Klein, in effect, is responsible to it (HBE). The relief
sought by the Company's Subsidiary is punitive in the sum of $1,000,000 in
addition to legal fees. The counterclaim interposed by HBE seeks the sum of
$400,000 in actual damages as a result of claimed alleged misrepresentation by
Flex-Craft and punitive damages in the sum of $2,200,000. In addition, the same
relief is sought against Mendel Klein, as Guarantor of Flexo-Craft's obligation
to HBE.
Management does not believe the results of the litigation will have a
material effect on the Company.

for salary compensation in the sum of $50,000 per annum in addition to the
annual award of 115,000 stock options to purchase 115,000 shares of the common
stock of the Company at $1 per share, resulting in Messrs. Abraham Klein, Dov

aggregate of 1,725,000 stock options at $1 per share over the initial 5 year
term of their employment agreements with the options expiring on January 20,

of each person for an additional 5 years until January 2006 wherein each of the
Kleins would have the option to be paid as compensation a salary of $50,000 per
annum and an additional 115,000 options to purchase 115,000 shares per year at
$1 per share for the same five year period. In the alternative, if they elect

$150,000 per year for the 5 year renewal term of the respective employment
agreements. The company has agreed to grant a cost free piggyback right of
registration to Messrs. Abraham Klein, Dov Klein and Hershel Klein or in the

stock option plan during the term of the employment agreements or any renewal of

beneficial ownership with respect to their stock ownership of the options
granted to each of them by the Company.
Mr. Anthony J. Cataldo was appointed assistant secretary and vice-president

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Laser Master International, Inc.
and wholly owned subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Laser Master
International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for
the year then ended. Our audits also included the consolidated financial
statement schedules listed in Item 14(A) of the Index on page 10. These
consolidated financial statements and consolidated schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's Management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Laser Master International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1995 and
the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
November 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth

NOTE 1. GENERAL
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.
Name and brief description of companies under common control:
A. FLEXO-CRAFT PRINTS INC.
The company has for approximately 14 years been engaged in the business
of commercial printing and engraving, utilizing a laser technique. The
company principally prints an extensive line of patterns and designs which
are sold to industrial customers engaged in the manufacture of textile
products and gift wrap paper.
B. 185 FRONT STREET REALTY CORP.
The Company sold its only significant asset which was the factory
building in Brooklyn and simultaneously settled the mortgage on the building
during the past year. The Company has discontinued operations and will be
dissolved this year.
C. 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. One tenant occupies 62,600 sq. ft. and pays $14,338 per
month plus utilities and water with the lease expiring June 30, 1999. The
other tenant occupies 53,600 sq. ft. and pays $14,517 per month plus
utilities and water with the lease expiring January 1, 2000. Each of these
two tenants are responsible for their percentage of real estate tax
increases for the terms of their leases.
The cost of the building is $4,773,388 and the accumulated depreciation
is $165,219 at November 30, 1995. There is no contingent rental income for
any of the periods in which an income statement is presented.
The minimum rental income expected from noncancellable leases:

Subsequent years................................................................ 14,517
------------
Minimum Rental Payments......................................................... $ 1,327,867
</TABLE>
F-9
<PAGE>
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Revenue Recognition:
Sales are recorded when title passes (either at shipment or customer
acceptance). Rental Income is earned based on tenant occupancy per leases
on the accrual basis.
(B) Inventory valuation:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
(C) Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated on the straight line method
based on estimated useful lives of 31 1/2 years for buildings and
improvements and 10 years for machinery, equipment and furniture.
(D) Income Taxes:
Effective December 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This
statement requires the use of the asset and liability approach for
financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using enacted rates
expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The
Company previously accounted for income taxes in conformity with SFAS No.
96. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the
Company's 1994 financial statements and prior years financial statements
were not restated.
(F) Intercompany Transactions:
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 3. DEFERRED CHARGES
The above account consists principally of costs that were incurred upon the
financing of the Company's factory building in Harrison, New Jersey and the new
8 color printing press. The financing was done through a tax exempt bond issue
through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. These costs include EDA
fees, legal fees, other professional fees and other closing costs. The costs are
being amortized over the length of the loans based on using a straight line
method of amortization.
NOTE 4. 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 Merrill Lynch. Bad debts are written off as they occur and an
allowance for doubtful accounts has been established in the amount of $169,000.
NOTE 5. INVENTORIES
Inventories at November 30th summarized by major classification were as
follows:

</TABLE>
F-10
<PAGE>
NOTE 5. INVENTORIES (CONTINUED)
Work in process and finished goods inventories consist of material, direct
labor and overhead associated with the manufacturing process.
NOTE 6. FACTORY BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS
One of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the company, Harrison Realty Corp.
owns the factory building in Harrison, New Jersey. The factory building is
240,000 sq. ft. of which 49% is rented to unaffiliated tenants. The building has
a 1st mortgage on it from National Westminster Bank, N.J. and the New Jersey EDA
as well as a 2nd mortgage from Nat West, N.J.
NOTE 7. 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
purchases and installation. For details of these encumbrances, reference is made
to the consolidated schedule of total debt.
NOTE 8. DEPRECIATION
FIXED ASSETS ARE 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.

---------- ----------
<S> <C> <C>
Depreciation charged to Cost of Sales................................. $ 627,630 $ 488,577
</TABLE>
The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Building and Improvements............................ 3%
Machinery and Equipment.............................. 6.67 % - 10 %
Furniture and Fixtures............................... 10%
</TABLE>
NOTE 9. ENGRAVING INVENTORY
The company's principal operating subsidiary, Flexo-Craft Prints Inc. is
engaged in the printing of designs and patterns which by means of a laser
engraving process grooves are engraved on a rubber sleeve which is coated on a
metal cylinder which is then attached to the printing machine. Ink is then
placed in the groove portions and printed on paper currently up to six colors.
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 10% per year of the total library inventory of complete patterns
on sleeves.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", effective for fiscal years beginning at December
1992. Effective December 1, 1993 the Company adopted the statement which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
F-11
<PAGE>
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
of income taxes. The difference between the financial and tax basis of assets
and liabilities is determined annually.
Deferred income taxes and liabilities are computed for those differences
that have future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and rates
that apply to the periods in which they are expected to effect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax
asset that will, more likely than not, be realized. Income tax expense is the
current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in
the deferred tax assets or liabilities. The current tax provision is because the
Company is subject to the alternative minimum tax.
The components of the deferred tax asset (liability) are summarized as
follows:

NOTE 13. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company is contingently liable to National Westminster Bank of New
Jersey for letters of credit in the amount of $6,137,129 issued in conjunction
with the New Jersey Tax Exempt Bonds which financed the company's new factory
building and 8 color press (See Note #19). Nat West Bank has a 1st lien on the
assets of Harrison Realty and 2nd and 3rd liens on the assets of Flexo-Craft.
Per the loan agreement the company is prohibited from paying cash dividends. The
loan agreement to Nat West Bank contains various covenants. The Company is not

NOTE 15. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Bad debts are written off as they occur. An allowance for doubtful accounts
has been established in the amount of $169,000.
NOTE 16. PENSION PLAN
The Company has a non contributory defined benefit pension plan covering all
eligible employees begun in 1993. The plan provides for normal retirement at age
65, or at least age 62 with 30 years of service, and optional early retirement.
The benefits payable under the plan are generally determined on the basis of an
employees length of service and earnings. The Company's funding policy is to
make annual contributions to the extent such contributions are actuarially
determined and tax deductible.
The plan covers all salaried and hourly employees of the Company except
those covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Eligible employees
participate in the plan after completing one year of service and attaining age
21. The benefit formula is 22.75% of average pay plus 22.75% average pay in
excess of covered compensation reduced proportionately for years of service less
than 35. Pension Plan Assets are primarily invested in short and intermediate
term cash investments.
ASSUMPTIONS:
The present value of benefits used to determine the net periodic pension
cost, the projected benefit obligation and the accumulated benefit obligation

For financial reporting purposes a pension plan is considered unfunded when
the fair value of the plan assets is less than the accumulated benefit
obligation. When that is the case a minimum pension liability must be recognized
for the sum of the unfunded amount plus any prepaid pension cost. An intangible
asset can be recorded as an offset to the extent of unrecognized prior service
cost and unrecognized transitional obligation.
NOTE 17. RELOCATION AND SETUP EXPENSE
The Company relocated its entire plant from Brooklyn, New York to Harrison,
New Jersey during June thru September 95. During this period of time production
was interrupted, merchandise was damaged and there was a big turnover in labor.
At the same time the company was moving into the new plant the new 8 color press
was being assembled and tested. The press initially had substantial problems
because the manufacturer did not build it correctly to specifications. A
tremendous amount of paper was wasted and manpower and customer goodwill was
damaged. These non- recurring expenses totaled over one million dollars. The 8
color press has been modified and is functioning close to specifications
although there are still some modifications to do.

NOTE 18. EXTRAORDINARY GAIN
The company in a simultaneous transaction settled the mortgage on the
factory building in Brooklyn and sold the building to an unrelated third party
resulting in a capital gain of $1,372,652. The transaction needed the approval
of the RTC which was received and was completed in July 1995.

NOTE 20. LITIGATION
The Company initiated a lawsuit against HBE Leasing contending that HBE
overcharged interest and other charges during the time the Company borrowed
funds. HBE Leasing originally had a mortgage on the factory building in
Brooklyn, New York. When the company refinanced the building in 1987 it had to
pay off the HBE mortgage. However, this mortgage was additional security for HBE
in connection with an equipment lease at that time. It is the company's
contention that in order to pay off HBE the company was required to pay an
exorbitant amount even though it was part of a negotiated settlement. The relief
sought by the company is punitive in the sum of $1,000,000 plus legal fees.
HBE initiated a counter claim against the company for $400,000 in actual
damages as a result of claimed alleged misrepresentation and punitive damages in
the sum of $2,200,000. In addition, the same relief is sought against Mendel
Klein as guarantor. In the opinion of management the company has meritorious
legal and factual defenses to the claims made in this litigation, therefore the
outcome is not likely to have a material adverse impact on the company's
earnings, financial condition or liquidity.

NOTE 1. GENERAL
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

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Revenue Recognition:
Sales are recorded when title passes (either at shipment or customer
acceptance). Rental Income is earned based on tenant occupancy per leases
on the accrual basis.
(B) Inventory valuation:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
(C) Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated on the straight line method
based on estimated useful lives of 31 1/2 years for buildings and
improvements and 10 years for machinery, equipment and furniture.
(D) Financial Statement Restatement:
The balance sheet for 1993 was restated to recognize minimum pension
liability and establish a related intangible asset as required by SFAS
87. There was no effect on net income, earnings per share or stockholders
equity.
(E) Income Taxes:
Effective December 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This
statement requires the use of the asset and liability approach for
financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using enacted rates
expected to be in effect with such amounts are realized or settled. The
Company previously accounted for income taxes in conformity with SFAS No.
96. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the
Company's 1994 financial statements and prior years financial statements
were not restated.
(F) Intercompany Transactions:
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
F-25
<PAGE>
NOTE 3. DEFERRED CHARGES
The above account consists principally of costs that were incurred upon the
financing of the Company's factory building in Harrison, New Jersey and the new
8 color printing press. The financing was done through a tax exempt bond issue
through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. These costs include EDA
fees, legal fees, other professional fees and other closing costs. The costs are
being amortized over the length of the loans based on using a straight line
method of amortization.
NOTE 4. 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 Merrill Lynch. Bad debts are written off as they occur and an
allowance for doubtful accounts has been established in the amount of $75,287 or
5% of gross accounts receivable.
NOTE 5. INVENTORIES

NOTE 6. FACTORY BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS
One of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the company. 185 Front Street Realty
Corp., owns the land and the building situated at 185 Front Street, Brooklyn,
New York. The building is encumbered by a mortgage obtained from Morsemere
Federal Savings & Loan Association. In addition, Harrison Realty Corp. has
purchased a factory building in Harrison, New Jersey, which had a first mortgage
on it by National Westminster Bank N.J. and the New Jersey EDA.
NOTE 7. 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
purchases and installation. For details of these encumbrances, reference is made
to the consolidated schedule of total debt.
F-26
<PAGE>
NOTE 8. DEPRECIATION
FIXED ASSETS ARE 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.

NOTE 9. ENGRAVING INVENTORY
The company's principal operating subsidiary, Flexo-Craft Prints Inc. is
engaged in the printing of designs and patterns which by means of a laser
engraving process grooves are engraved on a rubber sleeve which is coated on a
metal cylinder which is then attached to the printing machine. Ink is then
placed in the groove portions and printed on paper currently up to six colors.
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 10% per year of the total library inventory of complete patterns
on sleeves.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", effective for fiscal years beginning at December
1992. Effective December 1, 1993 the Company adopted the statement which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
of income taxes. The difference between the financial and tax basis of assets
and liabilities is determined annually.
Deferred income taxes and liabilities are computed for those differences
that have future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and rates
that apply to the periods in which they are expected to effect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax
asset that will, more likely than not, be realized. Income tax expense is the
current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in
the deferred tax assets or liabilities. The current tax provision is because the
Company is subject to the alternative minimum tax.

NOTE 16. PENSION PLAN
The Company has a non contributory defined benefit pension plan covering all
eligible employees began in 1993. The plan provides for normal retirement at age
65, or at least age 62 with 30 years of service, and optional early retirement.
The benefits payable under the plan are generally determined on the basis of
an employees length of service and earnings. The Company's funding policy is to
make annual contributions to the extent such contributions are actuarially
determined and tax deductible.
The plan covers all salaried and hourly employees of the Company except
those covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Eligible employees
participate in the plan after completing one year of service and attaining age
21. The benefit formula is 22.75% of average pay plus 22.75% average pay in
excess of covered compensation reduced proportionately for years of service less
than 35. Pension Plan Assets are primarily invested in short and intermediate
term cash investments.
ASSUMPTIONS:

For financial reporting purposes a pension plan is considered unfunded when
the fair value of the plan assets is less than the accumulated benefit
obligation. When that is the case a minimum pension liability must be recognized
for the sum of the unfunded amount plus any prepaid pension cost. An intangible
asset can be recorded as an offset to the extent of unrecognized prior service
cost and unrecognized transitional obligation.
NOTE 17. OPTIONS
The company sold 233,335 warrants to the First Princeton Capital Corp. as
consideration for arranging financing through a second mortgage on the company's
building. The warrants were exercised at $.33 per share. Each warrant entitles
the holder to obtain one share of stock. The warrants were exercised on Dec. 17,
1992 and the company received $77,001 in exchange for 233,335 shares of
unregistered stock.
NOTE 18. REFINANCING
In August 1987, the company obtained a 2.5 million dollar mortgage from
Morsemere Federal Savings & Loan Association. The interest rate is variable,
beginning with 9 3/4% and at 6 month intervals will be adjusted to a rate 4%
above the weekly average yield on six-month U.S. Treasury Bills, as of two
F-30
<PAGE>
NOTE 18. REFINANCING (CONTINUED)
weeks prior to each adjustment date. The payments were based upon a 25 year
pay-out schedule. The proceeds of the loan were used to pay off an existing
mortgage to HBE Leasing and First Princeton Capital the balance was used for
working capital. Morsemere Federal Savings and Loan Association was taken over
by the FDIC in August 1992 and has stopped billing and collections on loan
activities. Therefore Laser Master is accruing the mortgage interest but
currently is not paying it. Laser Master has attempted to renegotiate the
mortgage with Morsemere and subsequently the lenders who bought the mortgage
from the Resolution Trust Corporation. The negotiations were unsuccessful but
mortgage interest and real estate taxes have been accrued.
The mortgage is on the factory building in Brooklyn which is owned by 185
Front Street Realty Corp. The mortgage is not guaranteed by Laser Master,
Flexo-Craft or Harrison Realty nor by Mendel Klein. Flexo-Craft Prints Inc.
which occupies two floors is expecting to move during 1995 or early 1996 at the
latest. Negotiations have been difficult because the mortgage has been sold
several times and currently it is with a new company called Amresco located in
Texas. 185 Front Street Realty Corp. is the only guarantor of the mortgage and
this factory building is its only significant asset.
The company issued a tax exempt bond issue through the New Jersey EDA for
$5,750,000. The interest rate is 72% of the Libor rate plus facility fees. The
effective interest rate is 5.7%.

NOTE 20. LITIGATION
The Company initiated a lawsuit against HBE Leasing contending that HBE
overcharged interest and other charges during the time the Company borrowed
funds. HBE Leasing originally had a mortgage on the factory building in
Brooklyn, New York. When the company refinanced the building in 1987 it had to
pay off the HBE mortgage. However, this mortgage was additional security for HBE
in connection with an equipment lease at that time. It is the company's
contention that in order to pay off HBE the company was required to pay an
exorbitant amount even though it was part of a negotiated settlement. The relief
sought by the company is punitive in the sum of $1,000,000 plus legal fees.
HBE initiated a counter claim against the company for $400,000 in actual
damages as a result of claimed alleged misrepresentation and punitive damages in
the sum of $2,200,000. In addition, the same relief is sought against Mendel
Klein as guarantor. In the opinion of management and its outside council the
company has meritorious legal and factual defenses to the claims made in this
litigation, therefore the outcome is not likely to have a material adverse
impact on the company's earnings, financial condition or liquidity.

</TABLE>
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
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
MAY 31, 1996 AND MAY 31, 1995
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
For the six months ended May 31, 1996 revenues increased 6% from the prior
year. This increase was primarily the result of increased sales volume through
orders from existing customers and increased rental income from Harrison Realty.
GROSS PROFIT
For the six months ended May 31, 1996 gross profit was 38% as compared to
30% for the same period in the previous year. The increase is a result of the
fact that raw material prices have decreased.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 25% for the six
months ended May 31, 1996 over 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 May.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased for the first six 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 May 31, 1996 the Company had working capital of $3,482,546.
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.
