                       PERCEPTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are, in opinion
of management, of a normal recurring nature. Results for the three and six month
period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements are read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2000.



NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY: Perceptronics, Inc., the "Company" develops,
produces and markets software products and services that allow Web site
developers and owners to create online collaborative experiences that meet
the growing demand for expanded multi-user interactivity on the Internet.

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

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated 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 September 30, 2000, current liabilities exceed
current assets by $697,702. The Company continues to have difficulty in meeting
its obligations as they become due. Payments to vendors, totaling approximately
$350,000 at September 30, 2000 are past due and certain vendors continue to
require cash in advance to delivery terms for goods and services. The Company's
cash flow during the six month period ended September 30, 2000 was not
sufficient to meet current operating requirements and the Company continues to
have difficulty making satisfactory progress toward liquidating its past due
obligations. The ability of the Company to operate profitably and generate
sufficient positive cash flows is dependent on the award of new contracts and
raising additional investment capital to fund development of commercial software
products. 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.

SALE OF PGTS TRAINING SYSTEM ASSETS: On December 27, 1999, the Company and
Eidetics Corporation executed a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the sale
of the PGTS product line to Eidetics Corporation. In March 2000, the Company
commenced significant discussions with Eidetics Corporation leading to the sale
of substantially all of the inventory, leaseholds, equipment and certain
identifiable intangible assets of it's PGTS Training System product line. The
agreement of the sale was completed and signed by the parties in July 2000. The
book value of the assets sold was $315,649. The equipment is fully depreciated
and has been valued at $10,000 and the identifiable intangible assets, which are
not capitalized, are valued at approximately $140,000 for a total purchase of
$470,630.


                                       7
<PAGE>


In consideration for the purchase of the product line assets, Eidetics
Corporation paid off a bank loan of the Company's valued at $126,538 and a
loan with the Small Business Administration valued at $43,014. Eidetics also
assumed the Company's account payable liability of $301,078 with a foreign
support services representative.

The company will also be entitled to royalty payments under the agreement on
future PGTS Training System sales by Eidetics for a four-year period from the
date of sale.

Operating results of the PGTS Training System product line were as follows:

Net income (loss)                $   (451,000)   $     33,000
</TABLE>

As of March 31, 2000, inventories being sold were written down $140,000
consistent with the agreed upon fair market value.

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

INVENTORY: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined principally by the first-in, first-out method.

PRE-CONTRACT COSTS: Costs incurred in connection with contracts which have not
been signed at the balance sheet date (but where recoverability is probable) are
accounted for as pre-contract costs. No revenues or profits have been recognized
on these costs. At September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000 deferred pre-contract
costs were $0 and $220,000 respectively.

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 by the straight-line method
over the shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the leases.

REVENUE RECOGNITION: 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 valuation allowance and represent
management's estimate of the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

PER SHARE DATA: Per share data is based upon the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding using
the treasury stock method. Refer to Note F for a reconciliation of the shares
used to compute earnings per share.


                                       8

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.

NOTE C - RECEIVABLES

Unbilled receivables at March 31, 2000 and September 30, 2000 are $10,501 and
$10,501 respectively. These balances recognized under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting and have not been billed because
of the billing terms of the contracts. Billed receivables at March 31, 2000 and
September 30, 2000 are $0 and $24,357 respectively.

The amount of contract retention included in unbilled receivables was $10,501 at
September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000.

NOTE D- INVENTORY

Inventory was $0 and $80,620 at September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000. Inventory
consists of raw materials and components parts.

Short-term debt included the following at September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000:

As of September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000, there is a loan outstanding of
$50,000 with a foreign customer and a note with a former employee of $4,000. The
notes bear interest at 6% per year. The terms of the note required repayment by
March 1, 1996 and December 31, 1995 respectively; however, the Company was
unable to repay the notes because of cash flow problems. The Company intends to
pay off the notes, as cash flow is available to do so.

NOTE F-EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.128, "Earnings per Share" which, when
adopted, will replace the current methodology for calculating and presenting
earnings per share. Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share will be
replaced with a presentation of basic earnings per share and fully diluted
earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
is computed similarly to fully diluted earnings per share. The statement of
became effective beginning in the Company's third quarter ended December 31,
1997. A reconciliation of shares used to compute earnings per share for the
three and six month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations.

GENERAL

Perceptronics, Inc., (the "Company"), has focused entirely on developing new
commercial products in the area of Internet Collaboration during the past
fiscal year. The product, called the IC3D-TM- Framework, is directed toward
the rapidly growing market for multi-person, online, collaborative
interactions in 3D virtual environments, animation and streaming media
accessed over the Internet. The major market applications for the IC3D
Framework are entertainment, education, e-commerce and business
communication. The Company has historically engaged in the design,
development and manufacture of 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES. Net sales for the six-month period ended September 30, 2000,
decreased by $609,392 or 89% compared to the comparable six-month period in the
prior fiscal year. Sales of training simulator systems and components decreased
$5,000 or 100% because there were no sales during the six-month period ended
September 30, 2000. During the six-month period ended September 30, 1999, the
sales of $5,000 consisted of small orders for parts and maintenance simulation.
Simulation network technology sales decreased $604,392 or 89% during the
six-month period ended September 30, 2000. During the six-month period ended
September 30, 2000 the sales of $76,437 consisted of work on a U.S. Government
R&D contract related to HLA development and testing. During the six-month period
ended September 30, 1999, the sales of $680,829 consisted of work on a U.S.
Government SBIR Phase II contract and a State of California contract related to
initial development of the Company's new IC3D Framework for collaborative
interaction on the Internet.

Net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2000 of $76,437, decreased by
$303,419 or 75% compared to the comparable three-month period on the prior
fiscal year, and were entirely from simulation network technology. There were no
sales of training systems during the three-month period ended September 30, 2000
or during the comparable three-month period in the prior fiscal year.

COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for the six-month period ended September 30, 2000
decreased 89% as a result of the 89% decrease in sales discussed. Cost of sales
as a percentage of sales during the six-month period ended September 30, 2000
was 110% compared to 92% during the six-month period ended September 30, 1999.

Cost of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 decreased 78%
as a result of the 89% decrease in sales discussed above. Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales during the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 was
89% compared to 102% during the three-month period ended September 30, 1999.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $164,216 or 37% in the six-month period ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the comparable six-month period on the prior
fiscal year. The decrease was the result of reduced marketing expenses partially
offset by higher indirect payroll expenses which could not be directly absorbed
by contracts due to the lower sales level during the six-month period ended
September 30, 2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
$142,937 or 61% in the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to
the comparable three-month period on the prior fiscal year. The reason for the
decrease is the same as for the six-month period. The Company's management
continues to pursue cost reduction measures consistent with the level of
business wherever opportunities can be identified. During the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000 the company continued to make reductions in personnel
to reduce payroll-related expenses.


                                       11
<PAGE>


INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $20,939 or 78% in the six-month
period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the comparable six-month period in
the prior fiscal year. There was no interest expense associated with any export
credit facility during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2000 and the
six-month period ended September 30, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company is experiencing severe liquidity
problems due to a lack of revenues and the absence of cash reserves. At
September 30, 2000, the Company's unrestricted cash balances of $22,890 were the
result of equity investments made during the quarter. The Company had negative
working capital of $697,702 at September 30, 2000, compared to negative working
capital of $402,000 at September 30, 1999. The Company continues to have
difficulty in meeting all of its obligations as they come due. At September 30,
2000, vendor accounts of approximately $350,000 are past due. The lack of
sufficient working capital continues to restrict the Company's ability to expand
its revenue base. See Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

During the second quarter, the Company signed an agreement with Eidetics
Corporation to sell its PGTS training simulator development and manufacturing
operation. This Sale Agreement was consummated July 20, 2000. The Company plans
to concentrate its efforts on the development of technology and total solutions
for collaborative interaction on the Internet and other networks, including its
IC3D Framework and IC3D/Wyth software. The Company's management believes that
while the PGTS training simulator systems product line has historically been a
significant portion of the Company's business and has provided the majority of
the Company's revenues, the product line offered less potential for future
growth than the Internet related products. There is no assurance that the
divestiture of the PGTS product line will improve the Company's viability.

The Company has reduced its level of operations and still requires significant
financing from external sources to be able to fund the development of the IC3D
Framework commercial software products. There is no assurance that the Company
will be able to continue to raise the financing required to fund operations in
the future and whether the commercial software products will start to generate
revenue and profits. Also, the terms of any financing could be unfavorable to
the Company and dilutive to its shareholders. In response to its need to
conserve cash resources, the Company has reduced its work force to nine
employees and reduced some employee work schedules. The Company continues to
pursue U.S. Government sponsored development contracts that have provided
technical inputs to the commercial software products as well as providing
revenue and income. The new STRICOM contract mentioned above will provide some
revenues and cash for Company operations. The Company is also exploring
alternative sources for financing such as strategic business alliances and
potential business combinations in order to meet the short and long-term
objectives.

The Company also has a 24-month note payable with a starting principal of
$100,000 that bears interest at 8% per annum. At September 30, 2000, the
outstanding balance on this note payable was $35,306. At September 30, 2000, the
Company is past due on scheduled monthly payments on this note as a result of
the cash flow limitations previously discussed. The Company intends to address
this past due note once there is sufficient operating cash flow.

The Company's operating activities used cash of $136,210 during the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 resulting primarily from the operating loss incurred
during the period due to reduced sales levels and offset by the collection of
receivables.

The Company's investing activities used no cash during the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. The Company is primarily a developer of computer software
and therefore not capital intensive. The Company does not currently have any
material commitments for the purchase of capital assets.
