3. PER SHARE AMOUNTS

Earnings per common share for 1996 are based on the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding of 5,408,775.


Earnings per common share for 1995 are based on the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding 5,510,465. During 1995 (5/23) shares were
reduced from 6,312,112 to 5,000,000.

4. INCOME TAXES

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted FASB No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," where deferred income taxes are provided for temporary
differences between amounts reported for financial statement and income tax
purposes. The impact of adopting this statement will not be significant to the
Company. The Company has elected to reserve the benefits of net operating loss
carry-forwards. These benefits will be recognized when the Company returns to
profitable operations.

       Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           and results of Operations

Results of Operations

During the nine months and three months ended September 30,1996, there were
consolidated losses of $2,488,097 and $1,075,567. Laser Photonics subsidiary,
Acculase, was responsible for $1,492,692 and $598,435 respectively. Since
Acculase was not acquired until May 23,1995, there is no comparable data for
this period. Therefore, the following comments pertain to Laser Photonics
exclusive of Acculase.

For the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1996, Laser Photonics
had net losses of $995,405 and $477,132 respectively. (Includes goodwill
amortization of $317,001 and $103,294 which are new charges due to fresh start
accounting).This compares to the 1995 nine month net income total of $4,446,789
and a three month loss of $334,059. The prior year included an extraordinary
gain in May due to debt forgiveness of $5,754,962.

For the nine months and three months ended September 30,1996, there were
operational losses of $425,448 and $205,043 respectively. This compares to the
1995 periods of $1,086,879 and $306,644 respectively. During 1996 there were
operational income improvements of $661,431 and $101,601 respectively.

Sales for the nine month and three month periods increased by approximately
$93,527 and $274,723 respectively. The improvement in the third quarter was
accomplished by factoring our receivables to obtain cash in order to finalize
sales in process. Sales backlog as of September 30, 1996 totaled $2,165,673.

Gross margins, as a percent of sales increased to 23% and 16% for the nine
month and three month periods in 1996. During 1995 for the same nine month and
three month periods, the margins were only 19% and 10% respectively.

Improvement was due to product selection, efficiencies, as well as attaining a
93% direct cost relationship to sales as compared to 78% for 1995. More
accurate direct costing results in the above benefits as well as allocating
appropriate amounts to all items in process.


Sales and general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately
$544,216 and approximately $40,261 for the nine month and three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the comparable periods in 1995. This decrease
is due to labor reductions and expense controls.

Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $7,898 for the
nine month period and increased by approximately $15,102 for the three month
period ending September 30, 1996 as compared to the comparable periods in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the period ending September 30, 1996 the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $60,834 representing an decrease of $253 from
December 31, 1995. This decrease is the result of the continued paydown of
debt, and cash used in excess of cash provided by operating activities and
Acculase being funded by Helionetics.

The Company failed to make timely payment of certain federal and state payroll
and withholding taxes during the period ended September 30, 1996. The Company
has entered into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service for the period
through September 30, 1996 which requires certain scheduled payments to be made
of the arrears of the federal amounts and timely payment of current federal
amounts.

The Company continues to suffer from deficiencies in available capital
resources. This is expected to be resolved due to:
         1) Factoring agreement of $400,000, (completed)
         2) Warrants exercised of $703,500 (completed)
         3) Warrants exercised, additional stock sales and/or loan repayments
            totaling $1,500,000.
         4) Subsequent sales increased due to cash in 1, 2, and 3 (above)

The Company will continue to have difficulty funding these current debt amounts
from its current cash flow. The Company's ability to finance its activities is
dependent on the Company increasing its production levels and/or obtaining
capital or a borrowing facility from external sources as listed above.

Funding for Acculase is the responsibility of the parent company, Helionetics,
Inc., through May, 1997.
