ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
- -------   --------

G E N E R A L

Perceptronics, Inc. (the "Company") specializes in developing and producing 
computer-based simulation systems for training and decision support, and 
serves a growing number of worldwide military and commercial clients with 
low-cost, high performance systems to enhance individual and team 
performance.  The Company is known internationally for its ability to move 
rapidly from innovative concept to a fully integrated, successfully fielded 
product. Perceptronics has been a leader in the defense simulation community 
in originating and applying "selective fidelity" design principles to greatly 
reduce simulator costs, and in converting defense technology to commercial 
applications.

Over the past twenty years, much of Perceptronics' advanced simulation 
technology has come from its development and production contracts with major 
U.S. defense agencies, including the prestigious Defense Advanced Research 
Projects Agency (DARPA).  The Company's work has focused on low-cost, 
high-performance, interactive simulators for training individuals and teams 
in tactical combat skills, and on software for modeling complex human-machine 
interactions and for achieving high-speed communication in large networks of 
simulators or equivalent devices.

The Company has fielded and continues to field a family of simulation system 
products based on its advanced technology.  In the defense area, these 
products include the PGTS tabletop gunnery trainers for anti-tank missiles, 
SIMNET networked simulator systems for combined arms tactical training, and 
CombatSim simulations for command training.  Commercial products include the 
affordable TT150 simulators for truck driver training; PERCNET/HSI-TM- software 
for modeling and analyzing the Human-System Interface, and CACE/PM-Registered 
Trademark- software for modeling and simulating engineering and manufacturing 
processes. 

The Company is currently developing new products in the entertainment and 
communications fields based on its innovative software technology for 
networking large numbers of defense simulators.  The entertainment product, 
called InterGame-TM-, is directed toward the rapidly growing market for 
multi-person, on-line games played on the Internet and other networks.  
InterGame development is being funded by a series of U.S. Department of 
Defense SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) contracts and associated 
equity investments.

The Company's  near-term business strategy is to increase its domestic and 
foreign defense contract revenue base in order to improve cash flow and 
reduce outstanding liabilities.  The Company's long-term growth strategy 
focuses on developing and marketing commercial products derived from the 
Company's defense-related technology.  The Company's ability to complete 
these strategies in full will depend on generating sufficient cash flow from 
operations and on obtaining additional funding from private and public 
investments, neither of which can be assured.

Perceptronics' business activities fall into four main areas: Training 
Systems, Networked Simulation Technology, Systems Development and Software 
Products.

1.   TRAINING SYSTEMS - includes sale to the U.S. Government and 
international customers of the Company's standard training devices and 
systems, custom systems and/or components, and supporting services.  During 
fiscal 1995, Dragon PGTS training systems were produced for the U.S. Army and 
Marine Corps under a subcontract to Lockheed Martin Fairchild (formerly Loral 
Fairchild). During fiscal year 1996, the Company 

                                       1

<PAGE>

completed deliveries to the Egyptian government of 64 TOW PGTS trainers under 
a contract which began in fiscal 1995.   Also in fiscal year 1996, the 
Company completed a $2.0 million subcontract with Wegmann & Co. of Germany 
for development and production of Leopard II tank simulator systems for use 
by the Swedish Army.  In fiscal year 1997, the Company completed a 
subcontract from FAAC, Inc., for production of TT150 truck driver simulators 
to be used by the U.S. Department of Energy.   Also in fiscal year 1998 and 
1997, the Company had sales of $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively on 
a subcontract for TOW PGTS simulator systems for a foreign customer.  The 
Company also started production in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, on a 
contract with the Government of Egypt valued at $3.0 million for TOW PGTS 
simulator systems.  Training Systems accounted for 71% of revenues in fiscal 
1998 and 65% in fiscal 1997.

2.   NETWORKED SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY - includes sale to the U.S. Government 
and other customers of the networking technology based on that pioneered in 
the SIMNET program as well as technical support services.  During fiscal year 
1996, work in this area was performed for U.S. Army Simulation, Training and 
Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) and the U.S. Defense Modeling and 
Simulation Office (DMSO) under a $2.4 million contract awarded in March 1995 
for wide-area communications protocols and software for distributed 
interactive simulation (DIS).  In fiscal 1997, work was performed on a 
subcontract to a U.S. Government prime contractor for application software in 
the extension of DIS to the High Level Architecture (HLA).  In fiscal 1998, 
work was performed on SBIR Phase I and Interim Phase contracts from STRICOM 
for adaptation of HLA concepts to commercial multi-player, on-line 3D games; 
this work was the predecessor for the SBIR Phase II InterGame development 
program described above.  Revenues in fiscal year 1998 and 1997 from network 
simulation technology contracts totaled $ 0.8 million and $1.0 million, 
respectively.  In fiscal year 1998 and 1997, Networked Simulation Technology 
sales represented 24% and 31% of revenues, respectively.

3.   SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT -  includes sale of specialized systems and software 
in such areas as process modeling, instrumentation, neural network software, 
and other advanced applications of the Company's technology in artificial 
intelligence (AI), computer-based modeling and simulation and electronics.  
In fiscal year 1996, the Company performed on a U.S. Air Force program to 
provide advanced mannequins and related instrumentation for live fire 
testing.  In fiscal year 1998 and 1997, the Company worked on a contract with 
a commercial company for a microelectronics data recording system for 
medication dosage.  In fiscal 1998, the Company was awarded a SBIR Phase I 
contract from DARPA for design of COVER (Commander's Observation Vehicle for 
Elevated Reconnaissance), a system concept Perceptronics has promoted for a 
number of years, which is well suited to the future Army's need for improved 
sensing capabilities at the small unit level. In fiscal 1998 and 1997, System 
Development  Programs  represented 5% and 1% of revenues, respectively.

4.   SOFTWARE PRODUCTS - include the sale and support of the Company's 
commercial software packages, such as  CACE/PM-Registered Trademark- software 
for modeling and analyzing product development and manufacturing processes 
and PERCNET-Registered Trademark- software for modeling and simulating 
man-machine interfaces.  In fiscal  1998 and 1997, Software Products 
represented 1% and 1% of revenues, respectively.

U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

Approximately 26% and 43% of the Company's revenue in fiscal years  1998 and 
1997 respectively, were derived from contracts and subcontracts involving the 
U.S. Government.  As is the case with many companies deriving a portion of 
their revenue from defense contracts, the Company is subject to various 
business risks, including changes in governmental appropriations and changes 
in national defense policies and priorities.  Over the past several years, 
economic and budgetary constraints have caused reductions in overall defense 
spending. These circumstances  have had a material adverse effect on the 
Company since many of the Company's U.S. Government contracts have been 
curtailed or reduced, and new programs have not been initiated.  See 
"Backlog" and "Item 6 Management's Discussion".

The Company's U.S. Government contracts are structured on either a 
cost-plus-fixed-fee  (CPFF) or a firm-fixed-price (FFP) basis.  Under CPFF 
contracts, the Company is reimbursed periodically for allowable costs 
together with a portion of the fee with certain amounts being withheld 
pending the Government's determination of final fiscal year indirect rates.   
Under  FFP contracts, the Company generally receives progress payments of 
allowable costs incurred; the remainder (including profits) is billed upon 
delivery and final acceptance of the product.  For work performed under FFP 
contracts, the Company carries a greater burden of risk associated with cost 
overruns.  (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations" section).  In fiscal years 1998 and 1997 
respectively, 83% and 73% of the Company's U.S. Government contract related 
revenues were attributable to CPFF contracts and 17% and 27% of such revenues 
were attributable to FFP contracts.

The Company's U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts are subject to 
termination, reduction or modification in the event of changes in the 
Government's requirements or budgetary constraints.  Should a contract be 
terminated for such reasons, the Company would be reimbursed for its 
allowable costs to the date of termination and would be paid a proportionate 
amount of the stipulated profits or fees attributable to the work actually 
performed. During fiscal year 1998, none of the Company's U. S. Government 
contracts were terminated. When the Company participates as a subcontractor, 
it is also subject to the risk that the prime contractor may fail or be 
unable to perform the prime contract.  During fiscal year 1998, none of the 
prime contractors with which the Company participates, were unable to perform 
the prime contract.

The books and records of the Company are subject to audit by the Defense 
Contract Audit Agency (DCAA).   At March 31, 1998, the DCAA had an audit in 
progress of a large multi-year contract which was completed in 1994.  The 
Company believes that the costs charged to this contract were proper and 
should not result in a significant adjustment.  The Company's overhead costs 
have been audited and approved by the DCAA through fiscal year 1995. The 
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with Government 
record-keeping and cost-allocation requirements, and does not expect any 
significant adjustments as a result of the future audit of 1998, 1997 and 
1996 overhead costs.

MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS

The Company markets its defense products and services to U.S. Department of 
Defense agencies, other U.S. governmental agencies, other defense 
contractors, foreign government agencies and foreign companies.   The Company 
submits unsolicited research and system development proposals in areas where 
it has original ideas and unique capabilities, and also responds to 
competitive development and production proposal requests in areas of Company 
capability. The Company currently serves as a subcontractor 

                                       3

<PAGE>

to a number of defense and commercial companies.  Subcontracts represented 
approximately 72% and 72% of revenues in fiscal years 1998 and 1997, 
respectively.

Commercial products such as CACE-Registered Trademark- and PERCNET-Registered 
Trademark- software, video mapping systems, TT150 Truck Driving Simulators 
and Audio Environment Simulators are marketed through a combination of direct 
sales and marketing agents.

The Company has marketing arrangements for its defense and commercial 
products in a number of foreign countries.  During fiscal years ended March 
31, 1998 and 1997 foreign sales were approximately 70% and 56% of total 
Company revenues, respectively.  Foreign sales are subject to risks 
associated with political or economic instability of a foreign country, 
currency controls, exchange rate fluctuations, changes in import/export 
regulations, trade policies and tariffs. Payments to the Company on all 
foreign sales are made in U. S. currency. During fiscal year 1998, 61% of the 
Company's revenue was with a foreign customer that purchased TOW PGTS 
systems.  In fiscal 1997, 47% of the Company's revenue was with that same 
customer.  As mentioned in the backlog section, certain of the Company's 
contracts extended to customers the option to buy additional products and 
services.  At March 31, 1998, the contract with this foreign customer 
contained $8.4 million in unexercised contract options. During fiscal 1999, 
the Company will be working on a contract with the Government of Egypt with a 
contract value of $3.0 million which will fully utilize the Company's 
manufacturing operation.  In the event that the Company were to lose all of 
its foreign customer base the Company would have to significantly reorganize 
its operations.

RIGHTS TO TECHNOLOGY

Most of the Company's technology developments are the result of 
customer-sponsored contracts. The Company's rights to such technology are 
governed by its agreement with the customer.  Under U.S. Government 
contracts, the Company retains all rights to inventions discovered in the 
course of performing the contract, subject to the Government's non-exclusive, 
non-transferable, non-royalty bearing, worldwide license to use and sell the 
invention.  In addition, the Company may be obligated to grant non-royalty 
bearing licenses to companies selected by the Government in competitive 
procurement to use such inventions in the course of performing their 
Government contracts.  Unless otherwise specifically stated in the contract, 
the Government retains unlimited rights to technical data and computer 
software developed under the contract.  Under non-Government contracts, 
unless otherwise stated, the customer owns the rights to all technology and 
products developed under the contract and Perceptronics may not utilize the 
technology without obtaining a license from the customer.

The Company has applied for patent protection on several of its products. 
While the Company generally considers its business to be primarily dependent 
upon proprietary knowledge and on rapid assimilation of innovations it will 
continue to seek patent protection where it is feasible.

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIES

The Company's manufacturing activities primarily involve the sub-system
assembly, final system assembly, integration and testing of component parts
that have been fabricated by others.  Many of the purchased components are
built to the Company's engineering designs and specifications by
subcontractors.  Although most materials and purchased components 

                                       4

<PAGE>

generally are available from a number of different sources, there are 
situations where several suppliers are the Company's sole source of certain 
component parts.

COMPETITION

The principal methods of competition are responsiveness, price, technology 
expertise and product performance. Due to the decline in overall defense 
spending, the Company has been experiencing intense competition for U.S. and 
foreign government contracts.  The Company seeks to distinguish itself from 
its competitors on the basis of its ability to meet customer needs by 
developing and producing innovative systems that combine low cost with high 
performance, and its ability to move a system successfully from the initial 
R&D concept to final fielded product.  However, the Company's size and 
financial condition impedes its ability to compete in many areas.

In the case of competitively bid contracts, the Company's competitors for 
system development contracts include SAIC, Litton, Lockheed Martin, and  TRW. 
Competitors for training and command support products include General 
Electric Company, ECC International, CAE, and such foreign companies as 
Wegmann, SAAB and Giravions Dorand.  All of these companies have substantial 
financial, technological and marketing resources which enables them to bid on 
larger contracts.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
compete successfully in the future.

STRATEGIC PARTNERING AND TEAMING AGREEMENTS

The Company seeks to improve its competitive position, particularly on larger 
programs, through teaming and strategic partnering arrangements with other 
companies.  The Company may act as prime contractor or subcontractor under 
such arrangements, depending on the situation.  Examples of companies with 
whom Perceptronics has teamed for specific programs are Litton, Infinity 
Multimedia, Lockheed Martin, Wegmann, Kollsman, Northrop Corporation,  SAIC, 
TRW, McDonnell Douglas and The Harris Corporation.  These programs accounted 
for approximately 72% and 72% of revenues in fiscal years  1998 and 1997, 
respectively.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had 25 full-time and part-time employees 
and consultants, consisting of 4 management personnel, 1 marketing person, 5 
administrative and support personnel, 9 scientific and technical personnel 
and 6 production personnel.  Of the Company's employees, 2 have Ph.D. degrees 
and 5 have  Master's degrees. None of the Company's employees are represented 
by a labor union and the Company has experienced no work stoppages.  The 
Company believes that its employee relations are good.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES
- -------   ----------

The Company's primary offices are located in a 14,300 square foot leased 
facility in Woodland Hills, California, a Los Angeles suburb. The total 
monthly rent for this space is approximately $18,300, and the lease expires

Common stock was issued to a private investment company on March 13, 1998.  
The investor purchased 57,143 shares of common stock at a purchase price of 
$20,000 or $.35 per share.  The common shares are not registered under the 
Securities Act in reliance on section 4 (2) thereof.

During November 1997, the Company extended the term of a warrant to purchase 
common stock.  The outstanding warrant which is exercisable to 50,000 shares 
of common stock at the exercise price of $.32 and which is held by the 
Company's export lender, had the expiration date extended to December 31, 
2000.  During March 1998, in conjunction with the sale of common stock to the 
private investment company mentioned in the paragraph above, the Company 
issued warrants to purchase 25,000 common shares at $.30 per share and 57,143 
common shares at $.57.  These warrants expire in March 2003.  The warrants 
and the common shares that would be issued upon exercise are not registered 
under the Securities Act in reliance on section 4 (2) thereof.

On March 31, 1998, the Company reached a settlement with a consultant to 
resolve a large past due accounts payable balance.  In exchange for clearing 
$120,000 of the past due accounts payable balance, the Company issued 
warrants to purchase 240,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of 
$.50.  The warrants vest immediately and expire March 30, 2003.  The warrants 
and common shares that would be issued upon exercise are not registered under 
the Securities Act in reliance on section 4 (2) thereof.

On September 15, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial 
consultant.  The financial consultant was retained to provide financial 
management consulting and to locate and secure equity and debt financing on 
behalf of the company.  Under the terms of the agreement, the consultant is 
to be paid $5,000 per month.  In addition to the monthly retainer, the 
consultant is to be granted warrants to purchase common stock of the Company 
in an amount up to 5% of the Company's outstanding 

                                       7

<PAGE>

shares.  The warrants vest and are issuable in amounts equal to 1% of the 
Company's outstanding shares each 90 day period starting 46 days from the 
date of agreement.  The warrants are to have an exercise price equal to 85% 
of the market value on the day prior to the date of vesting and expire five 
years from date of grant.  Warrants that have vested at March 31, 1998 are;

ITEM 6    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
- ------    ---------------------------------------------------------------
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
          ---------------------

GENERAL

Perceptronics, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops and manufactures 
computer-based simulation systems for training and decision support. These 
systems include both hardware and software. The Company's simulators are used 
to train personnel in the use of various military and commercial equipment, 
including weapons, vehicles and aircraft.  In the decision support area, the 
Company's computer software and systems are used to enhance command and 
control operations for process modeling and simulation, and for management of 
concurrent engineering activities in product development and manufacturing. 
Much of the Company's business is in the foreign defense industry where the 
Company has built an international reputation.  The following discussion is 
based on the audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in 
this report.  The audited financial statements have been prepared in 
conformity with general accepted accounting principals, which contemplate 
continuation  of the Company as a going concern. The financial statements do 
not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the 
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and 
classifications of the liabilities that may result from the possible 
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. See Note A of Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997

NET SALES.  Net sales for fiscal 1998 increased by 10% or $314,000 from 
fiscal 1997. Sales of training simulator systems increased $418,000 or 20% as 
a result of increased export sales of TOW PGTS simulator systems. During 
fiscal 1998, the Company completed a contract that was started in fiscal 1997 
and delivered TOW PGTS simulator 

                                       8

<PAGE>

systems to a foreign customer. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998 the 
same foreign customer awarded the Company another contract for TOW PGTS 
training units valued at $1.5 million. The second contract was completed in 
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.  Sales with this foreign customer in 
fiscal 1998 was 61% of total sales as compared to 47% in fiscal 1997.  As 
mentioned in the backlog section below, certain of the Company's contracts 
extend to the customer the option to buy additional products and services.  
At March 31, 1998, the contract with this foreign customer contained $8.4 
million in unexercised contract options.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 
1998, the Company started production on a contract with the Egyptian 
government for TOW PGTS simulator systems valued at $3.0 million. Sales of 
$272,000 were recorded on the contract with Egypt during fiscal 1998, with 
the balance of the contract  to be completed in fiscal 1999. In the event 
that the Company were to lose all of it's foreign customer base the Company 
would have to significantly reorganize it's operations.  Science and 
technology  sales increased $138,000 due to a contract for the design of a 
medication dispenser monitoring device. Simulation network technology and 
software product sales decreased  $247,000 or 22% as a result of reduced 
activity on U.S. Government cost reimbursable contracts. Sales to the U.S. 
Government in total were lower in fiscal 1998 ($900,000), compared to fiscal 
1997 ($1,400,000). The Company has been faced with an overall slowdown in the 
defense market which has resulted in many U.S. Government programs being 
delayed, postponed or canceled. In addition there is increased competition 
for those programs that remain active.

COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for fiscal 1998 decreased  7%, even though sales 
increased 10%. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 65% in 
fiscal 1998 from 76% in fiscal 1997. The improvement in cost of sales is the 
result of an on-going cost reduction program that has resulted in reductions 
of direct and indirect expenses. Also having a positive effect on cost of 
sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 1998 was the higher sales of 
training simulator systems which carry higher margins and the reduction in 
lower margin U.S. Government contract sales.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses 
increased 10% in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997 primarily the result of 
increased foreign marketing expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $246,000 in fiscal 1998. The 
increase was attributable to higher borrowing levels and the related interest 
charges in fiscal 1998 associated with the export credit facility required to 
support the foreign contracts for TOW PGTS simulator systems.

EXTRAORDINARY GAIN FROM SETTLEMENT OF DEBT.   On September 30, 1997, the 
Company reached a settlement with Lockheed Martin Fairchild to settle a note 
with a carrying value of $704,977 and accrued interest of $133,006 for 
$500,000.  Negotiations to settle the note had begun prior to March 31, 1997. 
The financial statements as of March 31, 1997 reflect the recognition of the 
settlement of the debt.  Due to the large net operating loss carryforwards, 
the extraordinary gain was not reduced for income taxes.

BACKLOG. The Company's firm contract backlog was $2.9 million at March 31, 
1998 and  $0.9 million at March 31, 1997. The term "firm contract backlog" 
refers to the aggregate revenue remaining under contracts held by the Company 
and includes both funded and unfunded amounts. Unfunded amounts were 
approximately $0 million and $0 million for fiscal years 1998 and 1997, 
respectively.

Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the Company has received additional contract 
awards. In April 1998, the Company was awarded a contract for $500,000 by the 
U.S. Government 

                                       9

<PAGE>

for network technology software products. In May 1998, the Company received a 
contract for $100,000 for science and technology products and a contract for 
$67,000 from a foreign customer for a TOW PGTS simulator system. In June 
1998, the Company was awarded a U.S. Government Department of Defense SBIR 
Phase II Fast Track contract for $750,000 which involves the development of 
commercialized networking software products for on-line, multi-player games 
involving complex 3D environments ("Intergame software").  In order for work 
to begin on the contract the Company is required to obtain $375,000 in 
matching equity investment from third party investors, in addition to the 
contract funding of $750,000, to fund additional research and marketing 
activities associated with the contract. The Company has obtained payments 
and/or subscriptions from third party investors for the required equity 
investment. The work is expected to start on this program by the end of June 
1998.

Certain of the Company's contracts extend to customers the option to buy 
additional products and services at specified prices over a specified period 
of time. There is no assurance that any contract option will be exercised. At 
March 31, 1998, the option backlog was $13.1 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

With unrestricted cash balances of $78,000 at March 31, 1998, the Company's 
principal source of liquidity continues to be the Company's export credit 
facility, vendor credit and cash flow generated from operations. The Company 
had negative working capital of $500,000 at March 31, 1998, compared to 
negative working capital of $379,000 at March 31, 1997. The Company has 
experienced severe liquidity problems in the past and continues to have 
difficulty in meeting its obligations as they come due. With respect to the 
foreign contracts for TOW PGTS simulator systems, an export credit facility 
is in place to provide the cash flow required to perform on these contracts. 
Payments to vendors for materials needed for the contract are generally in 
advance or on delivery terms and are being funded through the credit 
facility. At March 31, 1998, vendor accounts totaling $316,000 are past due 
and are being liquidated as positive cash flow permits. See Note A, "Basis of 
Presentation", of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which is 
hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The Company's short-term strategy is to increase its domestic and foreign 
defense contract revenue base in order to generate sufficient cash flow for 
operations and to reduce outstanding current liabilities.  A major part of 
the Company's long-term strategy will be to focus on the development of 
commercial products derived from the Company's defense related technology and 
expertise in order to reduce the Company's dependence on defense contracts. 
The SBIR intergame software contract,  mentioned above in the backlog 
section, will enable the Company to use it's defense related technology to 
develop commercial software products. The Company is required to obtain 
additional equity funding of approximately $375,000 to satisfy the self 
funding requirements of the contract. The Company's ability to pursue its 
long-term strategy will depend on generating sufficient cash flow from 
operations and equity investment to finance new product development. There 
can be no assurance that this strategy will be successful. The Company is 
also exploring other alternatives, including potential business combinations.

The export credit facility mentioned above was obtained in October 1997 from 
a commercial lender and enables the Company to borrow up to $1,666,000 to be 
used in conjunction with it's export contracts. The credit facility is 
guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the California 
Export Finance Office (CEFO). The borrowings bear interest at 3.0 points 
above prime rate and are secured by a lien placed on the Company's general 
assets. Borrowings occur on the credit facility as work progresses 

                                      10



<PAGE>

on the contract.  The borrowings are repaid with proceeds received from the 
delivery of finished units. At March 31, 1998, borrowings outstanding against 
the line totaled $1,131,000. On April 20, 1998 the Company repaid $545,000 of 
the outstanding balance with proceeds received from the delivery of finished 
units. On February 27, 1998, the Company entered into a short term note 
payable with the same export lender for $100,000 which matures June 30, 1998 
and bears interest at 14% per annum. The Company is currently using the 
credit facility and the funds from the short term note to finance the 
production of TOW PGTS simulator systems for the Government of Egypt.

On September 30, 1997, the Company reached a settlement with Lockheed Martin 
Fairchild to pay $500,000 to discharge an unsecured note payable in full 
including accrued interest. The funds required to discharge the Lockheed 
Martin Fairchild unsecured promissory note were obtained from other lenders. 
The Company entered into a $200,000 note with a bank which is guaranteed by 
the SBA and which bears interest at prime interest rate plus 2.75 percentage 
points with principal and interest payable monthly amortizing over five 
years. On March 31, 1998, the outstanding balance owed on the SBA note is 
$184,653. The Company also entered into a $200,000 note with an export 
customer that bears interest at 12 percent. On April 21, 1998, the Company 
repaid $51,032 of the outstanding balance. The Company plans to repay the 
remaining outstanding balance of $148,968 within the next three months using 
proceeds from the final payment on the $1.5 million TOW PGTS contract. The 
Company funded $100,000 of the settlement from operating cash flow. The March 
31, 1997 financial statements were prepared to reflect the fair value of the 
unsecured note based on the settlement that occurred on September 30, 1997.

On March 31, 1998, the Company reached a settlement  with a consultant to 
resolve a past due accounts payable balance of $220,000. The Company entered 
into a 24 month note payable in the amount of $100,000 that bears interest at 
8% per annum. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 240,000 shares of 
common stock in settlement of the remaining accounts payable balance of 
$120,000.

The Company's operating activities provided cash of $620,000 in fiscal 1998 
and used cash of $1,640,000 in fiscal 1997. During fiscal 1998, the improved 
cash inflow resulted from net income adjusted to a cash basis, the collection 
of accounts receivable associated with the TOW PGTS simulator systems export 
contract and offset by the repayment of accounts payable liabilities. During 
fiscal 1997, the cash outflow resulted from increases in accounts receivable 
associated with the TOW PGTS simulator systems export contract, increased 
prepaid expenses primarily the result of advance payments for the purchase of 
materials for the export contract and repayment of accounts payable and other 
current liabilities.

The Company's investing activities used cash of approximately $100,000 in 
fiscal 1998 associated with capital expenditures incurred in conjunction with 
the relocation to the new manufacturing facility. There were no capital 
expenditures during fiscal 1997.

The Company's financing activities used cash of $310,000 in fiscal 1998 
resulting from the net repayment of the export credit facility and the 
repayment of long term debt. During fiscal 1997, the Company's financing 
activities provided $1,490,000 which was primarily the result of net 
borrowings against the export credit facility offset by repayment of long 
term debt.

On September 15, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial 
consultant. The financial consultant was retained to provide financial 
management consulting and to locate and secure  equity and debt financing on 
behalf of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the consultant is to 
be granted warrants to purchase 

                                      11

<PAGE>

common stock of the Company in an amount up to 5% of the Company's 
outstanding shares. The warrants vest and are issuable each 90 day period 
starting 46 days from the date of the agreement. The warrants are to have an 
exercise price equal to 85% of the market value on the day prior to the 
vesting date and expire five years from date of grant. Warrants that have 
vested at March 31, 1998 are for 44,693 shares at $.32 per share and 44,693 
shares at $.29 per share.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128"). This 
statement replaces the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings 
per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share 
is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by 
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 
Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously-reported primary 
earnings per share in that it includes the effect of the additional common 
shares which would have been outstanding if dilutive stock options had been 
exercised. All earnings per share amounts have been restated to conform to 
the SFAS No. 128 requirements.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The year 2000 issue results from computer programs that do not differentiate 
between the year 1900 and the year 2000 because they were written using two 
digits rather than four to define the applicable year; accordingly computer 
systems that have time-sensitive calculations may not properly recognize the 
year 2000. The Company has conducted an initial review of its computer system 
to identify whether the system is year 2000 compliant. The computer equipment 
and software currently used by the Company is an older generation and will be 
affected by the year 2000 problem. The Company is assessing current 
generation systems and plans to replace the existing computer system. While 
the Company does not know what the total cost associated with becoming year 
2000 compliant will be the Company feels that it will not be material. By the 
end of 1998, the Company plans to complete it's review of new computer 
systems and to make a selection to replace the system currently in use. 
However, there can be no assurance that software incompatibility with the 
year 2000 issue on the part of the Company's customers and suppliers will not 
cause an interruption of operations or that the Company will not have to 
incur substantial cost to avoid such occurrences.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for the historical information contained herein, this report contains 
forward looking statements (identified by the words "estimate," "project," 
"anticipate," "plan," "expect," "intend," "believe," "hope" and similar 
expressions) which are based on Management's current expectations and speak 
only as of the date made.  These forward looking statements are subject to 
various risks, uncertainties and factors, including, without limitation, 
those described below, that could cause actual results to differ materially 
from the results anticipated in the forward looking statements.

GOING CONCERN ISSUE AND SEVERE LIQUIDITY PROBLEMS. The Company's audited 
financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 have 
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals, 
which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  See the 
Independent Auditors' Report 

                                      12

<PAGE>

and Note A of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere
herein. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect 
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of 
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from 
the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The 
Company has experienced a significant decline in revenues and operating 
losses in recent years.  As a result, the Company suffers from severe cash 
shortages which restrict its ability to bid for, obtain and perform larger 
contracts. At March 31, 1998, current liabilities exceeded current assets by 
$500,000 and the Company has had difficulty in meeting its obligations as 
they come due. Even if the Company overcomes its liquidity problems, there 
can be no assurance that in the future the Company will be able to increase 
revenues or operate profitably.

BUSINESS STRATEGY; INTERGAME SOFTWARE PRODUCT. A major part of the Company's 
business strategy is to focus on the development of commercial products 
derived from the Company's defense related technology and expertise in order 
to expand its customer base and reduce its dependence on defense contracts.  
As part of this strategy, the Company has obtained a U.S. Government 
Department of Defense SBIR Phase II Fast Track contract for $750,000 to 
develope and commercialize networking software for commercial on-line, 
multi-player games involving complex 3D environments ("InterGame software").  
The Company requires additional equity funding of  $375,000 to satisfy 
self-funding requirements under the SBIR contract; and the Company has 
obtained payments and/or subscriptions for third party equity investments 
sufficient to cover the $375,000 contract requirement.  The Company will also 
require additional funding to be able to fully commercialize, market and 
exploit the InterGame software.  There can be no assurance that all future 
funding requirements will be obtained and at terms that will be advantageous 
from an economic standpoint.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the 
Company will be successful in its development efforts, that the InterGame 
software will be a commercially feasible product, or that the Company will be 
able to successfully market the InterGame software.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. The computer software and 
networked game industries are characterized by rapid technological change and 
are highly competitive.  The Company's success is dependent on its ability to 
develop new products and product enhancements to keep up with technological 
advances and to meet customer needs.  Any failure by the Company to 
anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments and customer 
requirements, or any significant delays in product development or 
introduction, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial 
condition and results of operations. The Company has limited manufacturing 
and marketing capabilities and financial resources and will be dependent upon 
establishing relationships with strategic and marketing partners to be able 
to fully exploit the InterGame software and other commercial products.  There 
can be no assurance that the InterGame software or future new products will 
achieve market acceptance, result in increased revenues, or be profitable.  
Such products could also be subject to technological obsolescence and intense 
competition from companies with greater resources than the Company.

DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN SALES. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 and 
1997, foreign sales, primarily to foreign governments, represented 
approximately 70% and 56% of total revenues, including sales to one foreign 
customer for TOW PGTS simulator systems which represented 61% and 47% of 
sales, respectively.  While the Company hopes to increase its domestic 
defense and commercial business, the Company anticipates that foreign 
contracts will continue to account for a significant portion of its sales.  
To the extent these revenues are derived from sales to foreign government 
agencies they may be subject to risks similar to those set forth below under 
"Dependence on Defense-Related 

                                     13

<PAGE>

Business."  Foreign sales are also subject to risks associated with political 
or economic instability of a foreign country, currency controls, exchange 
rate fluctuations, changes in import/export regulations, trade policies and 
tariffs.

DEPENDENCE ON DEFENSE-RELATED BUSINESS. The Company has historically derived 
a substantial portion of its revenues from U.S. and foreign government 
defense-related contracts.  As a result, the Company's business has been 
impacted by reductions in the U.S. federal defense budget and this business 
will continue to be subject to risks affecting the defense industry, 
including changes in governmental appropriations and changes in national 
defense policies and priorities.  The Company has sought to reduce its 
dependence on defense-related business by developing products with commercial 
applications, such as the proposed InterGame software networking products.

MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. Successful expansion of the Company's operations will 
depend on, among other things, the ability to develop and commercialize new 
products, to continue to effectively market existing products, to attract and 
retain skilled management and other personnel and to secure adequate sources 
of capital to finance growth at reasonable terms. To manage growth 
effectively, the Company will have to continue to improve its operational, 
financial and management information systems, procedures and controls.  As 
the Company expands, it may from time to time experience constraints that 
will adversely effect its ability to satisfy customer demand in a timely 
fashion.  Failure to manage growth effectively could adversely effect the 
Company's financial condition and results of operations.

COMPETITION. The Company expects to encounter intense competition in the area 
of networked on-line computer games from companies that have substantially 
greater financial, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than the Company. 
The Company could also experience competition from emerging companies.  There 
can be no assurance that the Company's products will be competitive with 
existing or future products, or that the Company will be able to establish or 
maintain a profitable price structure for its products. The Company also 
experiences intense competition for U.S. and foreign government contracts 
from companies such as SAIC, Litton, Lockheed Martin and TRW, which have 
substantially greater resources than the Company.  The Company's size and 
financial condition impedes its ability to compete in many areas.

PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Company relies on a combination of 
patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property law, nondisclosure 
agreements and other protective measures to preserve its proprietary rights 
pertaining to its technology and products.  Such protection, however, may not 
preclude competitors from developing products or technology similar or 
superior to the Company's.  In addition, the laws of certain foreign 
countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as 
the laws of the United States.  Although the Company continues to implement 
protective measures and intends to defend its proprietary rights, there can 
be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.  Furthermore, there 
can be no assurance that the Company's products or technologies are not or 
will not be in violation of the patent rights of third parties, or that any 
of the Company's patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented.

               INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT




To the Board of Directors and
Perceptronics, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Perceptronics, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Perceptronics, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the 
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial 
statements, the Company had net income of $109,000, however, for the year 
ended March 31, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficiency of 
$500,000 and a net equity of $304,000.  As described more fully in Note A to 
the financial statements, the Company is in arrears on accounts with certain 
vendor creditors which, among other things, causes the balances to become due 
on demand. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's 
ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not 
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this 
uncertainty.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY:  Perceptronics, Inc., the "Company" designs,
develops and manufactures computer-based simulation systems for training and
decision support.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Perceptronics Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying financial statements have been 
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which 
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has 
sustained operating losses in recent years and requires substantial amounts 
of working capital in its operations. At March 31, 1998, current liabilities 
exceeded current assets by $500,000. The Company continues to have difficulty 
in meeting its obligations as they become due, however, this condition has 
improved from the previous year. Payments to vendors, totaling approximately 
$316,000 at March 31,1998 are past due and certain vendors continue to 
require cash in advance or on delivery terms for goods and services.  The 
Company's cash flow during fiscal 1998 was sufficient to meet current 
operating requirements but the Company continues to have difficulty making 
satisfactory progress toward liquidating its past due obligations. In order 
to conserve cash, management has reduced staff, employee benefits, and other 
operating expenditures. Even if the Company overcomes its short-term 
liquidity problems, the ability of the Company to operate profitably and 
generate sufficient positive cash flows cannot be predicted. The Company's 
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect 
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of 
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from 
the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

CASH EQUIVALENTS: All highly liquid investments maturing in three months or
less when purchased are considered as cash equivalents.

INVENTORY: Inventory is stated at cost, which is not in excess of market.
Cost is determined principally by the first-in, first-out method.

PRECONTRACT COSTS: Costs incurred in connection with contracts which have not 
been signed at the balance sheet date (but where recoverability of costs is 
probable) are accounted for as precontract costs. No revenues or profits have 
been recognized on these costs. There were no precontract costs deferred at 
March 31, 1998 or 1997.

EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS:  Equipment and leasehold improvements 
are stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided for by the 
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 
5 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for by the 
straight-line method over the shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the 
leases.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



DEFERRED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS:  Deferred software development costs are
stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Such costs are amortized
on a product-by-product basis, commencing when a product is available for
general release to customers. The annual amortization expense is computed using
the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the
product.  Deferred software development costs were fully amortized at March 31,
1998.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:  During fiscal 1998 and 1997, 74% and 57% of the Company's
total revenues resulted from products sold to commercial customers which were
either foreign governments or domestic or foreign companies, respectively.
Sales of products and services related to United States Government contracts
were 26% and 43% of total revenues, respectively. Of the U.S. Government
contract sales, 83% and 73% were for contracts that provided for reimbursement
of cost plus fixed-fees and 17% and 27% were fixed price contracts. All sales
were recorded using the percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost) method of
accounting. Under this method, sales are recorded as costs (including general
and administrative expenses) are incurred, plus a portion of the profit
expected to be realized on each contract in the ratio that costs incurred to
date bear to total estimated cost at completion.

General and administrative expenses in excess of rates billed on contracts are
recorded in the period incurred. Costs related to anticipated future losses on
contracts are accrued and charged to expense in the period when the losses are
identified.

INCOME TAXES:  Provisions for federal and state income taxes are calculated on
reported financial statement income based on the current tax law. Such
provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of
income and expense, known as temporary differences, are recognized in different
tax periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.
Deferred income taxes are the result of the recognition of tax benefits that
management expects to realize from the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. The amounts recorded are net of a valuation allowance and
represent management's estimate of the amount that is more likely than not to
be realized.

USE OF ESTIMATES:  Company management has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:  Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
("SFAS No. 128").  This statement replaces the previously-reported primary and
fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
previously-reported primary earnings per share in that it includes the effect
of the additional common shares which would have been outstanding if dilutive
stock options had been exercised.  All earnings per share amounts have been
restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements.

second lien position on the general assets of the Company and a first lien on 
the export inventory and accounts receivable financed under the credit 
facility. The note was repaid in June of 1997 and had a variable interest 
rate which was 11.5% at March 31, 1997.

At March 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of 
approximately $21,200,000  for federal income tax purposes and $1,400,000 for 
state income tax purposes, respectively, expiring in varying amounts through 
2010.  At March 31, 1998, approximately $3,800,000 of state net operating 
losses expired.  The NOL carryforwards, which are available to offset future 
profits of the Company and are subject to limitations should a "change in 
ownership" as defined by the Internal Revenue Code occur, will begin to 
expire in 2001 if not utilized.  State net operating losses expire between 
1999 and 2002, if not utilized.

In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
109 (SFAS 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS 109 is an asset and 
liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and 
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been 
recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Previously, 
the Company used the APB 11 approach that gave no recognition to future 
events other than the recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities at 
their carrying amounts. Under SFAS 109 the Company recognizes to a greater 
degree the future tax benefits of expenses which have been recognized in the 
financial statements.

SFAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of such NOLs be recorded using current 
tax rates as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of 
such NOLs to be more likely than not. Management has determined that future 
taxable income of the Company will more likely than not be sufficient to 
realize the recorded deferred tax asset of $7,070,000 net of a valuation 
allowance of $6,137,000.

Realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL carryforwards is dependent 
on the Company's ability to generate taxable income within the carryforward 
period. In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing NOL 
carryforwards, management considered the historical results of continuing 
operations over the last three years and the current economic environment in 
which the Company operates. Management did not consider any non-routine 
transactions in assessing the likelihood of realization of the recorded 
deferred tax asset.

Federal income tax NOL carryforwards will expire between fiscal 2001 and 2012 
and state income tax operating loss carryforwards will expire between fiscal 
1999 and 2002 if not used to offset taxable income.

The following reconciles the federal statutory income tax rate to the 
effective rate of the provision for income taxes.

NOTE H - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company's 1982 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended, 
authorized the issuance of options to purchase 690,000 shares of common stock 
which may be granted to employees, including officers, of the Company. No 
options may be granted under this plan after November 1992. Options to 
purchase 42,800 and 61,300 shares were outstanding and exercisable under this 
plan at March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, respectively.

In September 1992, the Company's shareholders approved the 1992 Stock Option 
Plan which authorizes the issuance of incentive and non- qualified options to 
purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock which may be granted to employees, 
directors, consultants and advisors. The exercise price of the incentive 
options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common 
stock on the date of grant (110% with respect to optionees who are 10% or 
more shareholders of the Company). The exercise price of non-qualified stock 
options may not be less than 85% of fair market value. Options become 
exercisable in installments as determined at the time of grant.  Options 
expire no later than ten years from date of grant (five years with respect to 
incentive options granted to optionees who are 10% or more shareholders). 
Options to purchase 218,500 and 35,500 shares were outstanding under this 
plan at March 31, 1998 and March 1997, of which 138,100 and 23,900 shares 
were exercisable.

The 1988 Directors' Option Plan authorizes the issuance of options to 
purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. The options are automatically 
granted on April 1 of each year and expire five years after the date of 
grant. The options are fully vested and exercisable at date of grant. The 
exercise prices may not be less than 100% of fair market value of the common 
stock on the date of grant. Options to purchase 49,000 and 39,000 shares were 
outstanding under this plan at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  No 
options may be granted under this plan after July 1998.

On March 31, 1998, the Company reached a settlement with a consultant to 
resolve a large past due accounts payable balance.  In exchange for clearing 
$220,000 of the past due accounts payable balance, the Company issued a two 
year note payable in the amount of $100,000 which requires monthly payments 
of $4,521 including interest at 8% per annum.  The Company also issued 
warrants to purchase 240,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of 
$.50.  The Warrants vest immediately and expire March 30, 2003.

On September 15, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial 
consultant.  The financial consultant was retained to provide financial 
management consulting and to locate and secure equity and debt financing on 
behalf of the company.  Under the terms of the agreement, the consultant is 
to be paid $5,000 per month.  In addition to the monthly retainer, the 
consultant is to be granted warrants to purchase common stock of the Company 
in an amount up to 5% of the Company's outstanding shares.  The warrants vest 
and are issuable in amounts equal to 1% of the Company's outstanding shares 
each 90 day period starting 46 days from the date of the agreement. The 
warrants are to have an exercise price equal to 85% of the market value on 
the day prior to the date of vesting and expire five years from date of 
grant. Warrants that have vested at March 31, 1998 are;
