Board of Directors
Electronic Sign Corporation (DBA Ad Art)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Electronic Sign
Corporation (DBA Ad Art) (A California Corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, retained
earnings and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 1997.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated 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 financial position of Electronic Sign
Corporation (DBA Ad Art) and subsidiaries at December 31, 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Note 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         ------------------------------------------

         History and Business Activity

         Electronic Sign Corporation (the Company) is engaged in the
         manufacturing and installation of electronic signs. The Company was
         incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1995.
         Effective May 22, 1995, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed
         certain liabilities of Ad Art Signs, Inc. Assets acquired included
         petty cash accounts, salesmen and other travel advances, deposits for
         various insurance policies and certain inventory items (including work
         in process). Liabilities assumed included obligations to complete work-
         in-progress, obligations for service and maintenance agreements and
         certain warranty and payroll obligations. Effective July 15, 1996, the
         Company completed the purchase of real estate and equipment owned by Ad
         Art Signs, Inc. These assets had been leased from Ad Art Signs, Inc. on
         a month-to-month basis.

         The consideration given for these assets included the following:

<TABLE>
            <S>                              <C>
            Notes and mortgage payable       $  971,698
            Indebtedness to an individual       275,000
            Cash payment                        295,757
                                             ----------
                                             $1,542,455
                                             ==========
</TABLE>

         The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. Some of
         the stockholders of the Company were also stockholders in Ad Art Signs,
         Inc.

         Principles of Consolidation

         The financial statements include the accounts and operations of the
         Company and Electronic Sign Corporation (DBA Ad Art) of Nevada, a
         wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated
         in consolidation.

Note 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
         ------------------------------------------            

         Revenue Recognition

         The Company recognizes revenues on long-term construction contracts
         under the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage
         of contract costs incurred to estimated total costs for each contract.
         Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those
         indirect costs related to contract performance. Provisions for
         estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in
         which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
         conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to
         costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the
         revisions are determined. Profit is included in revenues when its
         realization is reasonably assured.

         Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist of
         raw materials used in the production of the Company's product, work-in-
         process, and finished goods. Cost is determined by the rolling weighted
         average method.

         Depreciation
  
         Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight-line
         method over the following estimated useful lives:

<TABLE>
            <S>                                         <C> 
            Buildings and improvements                  40 years
            Machinery, vehicles and equipment         3-10 years
            Office furniture and equipment            5-10 years
</TABLE> 

         Income Taxes
  
         Income tax expense or benefit includes both current and deferred state
         and federal income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for
         temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for
         financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets
         and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial
         statement and tax bases of assets, liabilities and tax carry forwards
         that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods
         based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
         which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred
         tax liabilities are recognized when incurred; deferred tax assets, when
         necessary, are reduced by a valuation allowance and recognized when it
         is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

Note 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
         ------------------------------------------            

         Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
         amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
         results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used
         in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in
         computing profit percentages under the percentage-of-completion method
         of revenue recognition.

         Financial Instruments

         The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash
         receivables and accounts payable approximated fair value as of December
         31, 1997, because of the relatively short maturity of these
         instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term debt approximated fair
         value at December 31, 1997, based upon interest rates that are
         currently available for debt with similar terms. Substantially all
         financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading.

Note 2:  TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Note 11:  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
          ----------------------------

          The Company sells signs in the United States and internationally. The
          Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and in
          some instances, requires deposits on customer orders. The Company
          maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have
          been within management's expectations.

          Approximately 46% of the Company's labor force is covered by
          collective bargaining agreements which are generally renewed every
          three years. Approximately 35% of the Company's labor force is covered
          by agreements which will expire within the next year.

Note 12:  ABORTED REORGANIZATION AND MERGER
          ---------------------------------

          Effective October 1996, the Company had concluded a plan of
          reorganization and merger with a dormant public corporation.
          Throughout the remainder of 1996 the parties to the merger became
          adversarial and, in December 1996, discussions began regarding the
          recision of the plan of reorganization and merger. In April 1997, a
          Mutual Agreement Regarding Recision, was entered into between the
          Company, the dormant public company and other individuals, all of
          which were parties to the original transaction. The purpose of the
          recision was to reverse the merger and place each party, more or less,
          in the same position it would have been in had the merger never taken
          place. Total costs incurred by the Company, primarily for legal and
          consulting fees, related to the original merger and the recision
          totaled $605,469. Of these costs, $120,000 is the result of a
          Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release where the Company has
          agreed to pay $120,000 in installments without interest in exchange
          for dismissal of all litigation..

                     LA-MAN COMPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
        Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements
         illustrate the effect of the acquisition of Electronic Sign Corporation
         (d/b/a Ad Art) ("Ad Art") by La-Man Corporation ("The Company") on the
         Company's financial position and results of operations. The unaudited
         pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 is based
         upon the historical balance sheets of the Company and Ad Art as of that
         date and assumes that the acquisition took place on that date. The
         unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the year
         ended June 30, 1997 and the six months ended December 31, 1997 are
         prepared based upon the historical results of operations of the Company
         and Ad Art and assumes that the acquisition occurred at July 1, 1996.

         The La-Man Corporation and subsidiaries balance sheet as of December
         31, 1997 and the statement of income for the six months ended December
         31, 1997 and the Ad Art balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 and the
         statements of income for the year and six months ended June 30, 1997
         and December 31, 1997, respectively, are unaudited but, in the opinion
         of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
         recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of the results
         of operations.

         The pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to be
         indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the
         acquisition occurred on the dates as presented in the pro forma
         consolidated financial statements and the pro forma consolidated
         financial statements may not be indicative of results that may occur in
         the future. In addition, the pro forma consolidated financial
         statements may not be indicative of the actual results of the
         acquisition. In particular, the pro forma consolidated financial
         statements are based upon management=s current estimate of the
         allocation of the purchase price. The actual allocations may differ.

         The consolidated pro forma financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company and
         Ad Art.


NOTE 2   PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

         (1) In conjunction with the acquisition of Ad Art, the Company received
             $3,395,000 (net of debt issue costs totaling $105,000) in exchange
             for debentures issued as discussed in pro forma adjustment (6)
             below. In addition, the Company sold 231,482 shares of common stock
             for total cash proceeds of $970,000 (net of $30,000 of issuance
             costs) as discussed in pro forma adjustment (7) below.
         (2) The Company paid cash totaling $3,242,550 in connection with the
             acquisition of Ad Art. These payments included $3,000,000 paid to
             retire notes payable to certain of the prior shareholders of Ad
             Art. The remaining $242,550 represents legal and consulting fees
             and other costs of the acquisition.
         (3) The adjustment to property, plant and equipment is to adjust Ad
             Art=s property to estimated fair market value as of the date of the
             acquisition.
         (4) This adjustment to intangibles represents the goodwill acquired in
             the acquisition. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase
             method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
             to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair market
             values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
             value of the net assets acquired has been accounted for as goodwill
             and will be amortized over its estimated life of 40 years.
         (5) This adjustment to intangibles represents capitalized loan costs
             associated with the debt incurred as discussed in pro forma
             adjustment (6) below.  Total loan costs included cash fees of
             $105,000 (see pro forma adjustment (1) above) and stock purchase
             warrants with a fair market value of $73,000 (see pro forma
             adjustment (9) below).
         (6) In connection with the acquisition of Ad Art, the Company issued
             $3,500,000 of 8.75% subordinated convertible dentures. Interest on
             the debentures is payable monthly with monthly principal payments
             beginning March 2001 at a rate of 1% of the outstanding balance
             with a final balloon payment due March 2005. The debentures are
             convertible into La-Man Corporation common stock at a rate of $4.75
             per share, subject to certain adjustments.

NOTE 2   PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (continued)
         (7) In connection with the acquisition, 810,000 shares of the Company=s
             $.001 par value common stock were issued to certain of the prior
             shareholders of Ad Art. In addition, a total of 231,482 shares of
             the Company's $.001 par value common stock were sold to third
             parties for cash proceeds of $1,000,000 (see pro forma adjustment
             (1) above) to assist in financing the acquisition.
         (8) This adjustment to common stock and retained earnings is to
             eliminate Ad Art's equity accounts prior to the acquisition. The
             acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting.
             Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets
             acquired based upon their estimated fair market values. The excess
             of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net
             assets acquired has been accounted for as goodwill.
         (9) Pro forma adjustments to paid in capital consist of the following:

                Fair market value in excess of par value of
                  810,000 shares of the Company's $.001 par
                  value common stock issued to certain of the     
                  prior shareholders of Ad Art (see pro forma

                Fair market value in excess of par value (net
                  of issuance costs) of 231,482 shares of the
                  Company's $.001 par value common stock sold
                  to finance acquisition (see pro forma

                Fair market value of warrants to purchase
                  200,000 shares of the Company's $.001 par
