                    LASERGATE SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1996


NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND OTHER INTERNAL PRESENTATION

INTERIM PRESENTATION

The interim consolidated  financial  statements of Lasergate Systems,  Inc. (the
"Company") are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements  and notes  thereto in its Form  10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements (with all explanations  contained in these Notes)  contain
all adjustments  necessary for a fair  presentation of the results of operations
for this interim period.  Interim results are not necessarily  indicative of the
results for a full fiscal year.

OPERATIONAL AND FUNDING MATTERS AND REPORTING BASIS

The information  contained in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in the
Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended  December 31,
1995  remains  current  related  to the  status  of  certain  of  the  Company's
operational  and  funding  matters  and,  accordingly,  should be referred to in
conjunction with this Form 10-QSB.

The  Company's  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles,  which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern.  However, for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
the  Company  incurred  a loss of  $163,955  and has an  accumulated  deficit of
$11,949,311 at March 31, 1996 and used cash in operating  activities of $346,631
during the first quarter of 1996.

In recent years the Company has had to rely on proceeds  from private and public
placements  and  loans  (some of which  were  converted  to stock)  from  former
principal stockholders to fund its operations. (See below).

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs,  recoverability of
a major portion of the recorded  asset  amounts  shown in the Company's  balance
sheet is dependent  upon  continued  operation of the Company,  which in turn is
dependent  upon the  Company's  ability to succeed in its future  operations and
obtain  additional  financing.  The  financial  statements  do not  include  any
adjustments  relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or amounts and  classification  of  liabilities  that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

As more fully  described in the Company's  SEC Form 10-KSB for 1995,  management
has taken various actions and revised its operating and financial  requirements,
which it believes  are  sufficient  to provide  the Company  with the ability to
continue  existence.  On March 27,  1996,  the  Company  commenced  the  Private
Placement of the Company's newly established  Series E Preferred Stock at $10.00
per  share.  Through  the date of this  filing  159,000  shares of the  Series E
Preferred Stock  successfully  closed with the Company receiving total proceeds,
net of offering  costs of  $1,450,582.  (See Note 7). The  Company has  received
stock subscriptions for the purchase of an additional 158,500 shares of Series E
Preferred  Stock  which will result in an  additional  $1,381,918  net  proceeds
(after  offering  costs)  to the  Company  if and  when  paid.  There  can be no
assurance,  however,  that  the  Company  will  receive  full  payment  of  such
subscriptions.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company's revenues recognition policy is fully explained in the notes to the
Company's  financial  statements  in its SEC Form  10-KSB for 1995.  During  the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, since one of the Company's  customer  installation
was for a duration  which would exceed 90 days,  the  percentage  of  completion
method has been used to account  for income.  The  contract  included  stages of
acceptance by the customer,  and profitability and collection of the account are
reasonably assured.



                                                 
                                       -6-

<PAGE>

CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENSES

Cost of revenues  includes the costs  associated  with the hardware and software
acquired for the Company's  customers and the estimated  direct costs associated
with the engineering  (mostly  software  customization)  and installation of the
system.  Cost of revenues also includes the estimated direct cost related to the
support and maintenance of the Company's  service  contracts.  While the Company
believes that the estimated direct costs are reasonably stated and classified in
all material  respects,  the Company intends to further refine its procedures of
capturing and reporting this information in 1996. Such refinement could, to some
extent, effect the comparability of the information being reported on.

For quarterly  reporting in 1995,  cost of  revenues  included  principally  the
hardware and  software  acquired for  customer  installations  and support.  The
estimated direct costs  associated with  engineering and installing  systems and
providing  customer  support were not  specifically  categorized and reported as
cost of  revenues  as was done in 1996.  In 1995,  such costs were  included  in
development costs. In 1996,  approximately $107,000 of these types of costs were
separately identified and classified as cost of revenues.

The  Company's  cost  of  revenues,   development   and  selling,   general  and
administrative expense categories for the first quarter 1996 are consistent with
the expense  classification  presented in the Company's financial  statements in
its SEC Form 10-KSB for 1995.  The Company is  currently in process of recasting
the  quarterly  information  for 1995 to conform to that being used for 1996 and
used for its annual  reporting in 1995. This  information  will be available for
the Company's quarter and year-to-date reporting at June 30, 1996.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The net loss per common share amount is based on the weighted  average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.


NOTE 2-ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES AND SETTLEMENT OF ACQUISITION OBLIGATION

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets
of GIS Systems Limited  Partnership  ("GIS"),  a company formerly engaged in the
business of design, integration,  installation and sale of admission control and
revenue accounting computer systems for the entertainment  industry.  The Admits
Gold,  Select-a-Seat  and Facility  Management System are all products which the
Company obtained through the acquisition. The purchase price for the acquisition
was valued at $3,700,000 and was based upon the expected revenues of GIS and the
competitiveness of its products.  The purchase price consisted of 109,333 shares
of the  Company's  common  stock,  111,800  shares  of the  Company's  Series  B
Preferred  Stock,  the Company's  convertible  promissory  note in the principal
amount  of  $591,000  and  the  Company's  convertible  promissory  note  in the
principal  amount of  $1,733,335.  In  addition,  the  Company  agreed to assume
certain  liabilities  of GIS and loaned GIS $559,000.  Two  executives  formerly
associated  with GIS,  also  agreed to serve as  consultants  to the Company for
terms  which  have  since  expired  for fees of  $11,051  and  $1,666 per month,
respectively.  The total purchase price of GIS was allocated based on fair value
of net  tangible  assets  acquired  with the excess  allocated  to  identifiable
intangible  components based on their individual  estimated fair values, and the
remainder was allocated to goodwill.

In order to simplify  the  Company's  capital and debt  structure,  on March 11,
1996,  the Company and GIS agreed to, among other  things,  settle the remaining
obligation to GIS totaling  $2,324,335  by the Company  making a cash payment to
GIS of  $1,550,000,  canceling  the  $559,000  note  receivable  from  GIS,  and
canceling the $199,359  account  receivable  from GIS, and with GIS returning to
the Company for retirement the 109,333 shares of Common Stock and 111,800 shares
of Series B Preferred  Stock  previously  issued to GIS. On April 12, 1996,  the
transactions contemplated by the March 11 agreement were consummated.

NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In October 1995, the Company  completed a private placement of 208,600 shares of
non-transferable convertible Series D Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the closing
one of the  investors  converted  28,600  shares  of  Series D  Preferred  Stock
purchased by him into 110,000  shares of Common Stock.  During the first quarter
of 1996 the remaining  180,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted
by investors into 1,664,463 shares of Common Stock.

Effective  March 27, 1996,  the Board of Directors  established  one  additional
series of preferred stock; Series E. The authorized number of Series E shares is
350,000.  Holders of such shares have no voting rights and dividend rates may be
fixed by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion.  The Series E Shares are
convertible  into shares of the Company's  common stock.  On March 27, 1996, the
Company  commenced  a  Private  Placement  of  shares  of  the  Company's  newly
established  Series E Preferred  Stock at $10.00 per share.  Through the date of
this filing 159,000 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock  successfully  closed
with the Company receiving total proceeds,  net of offering costs of $1,450,582.
The Company has received stock  subscriptions  for the purchase of an additional
158,500  shares of Series E Preferred  Stock which will result in an  additional
$1,381,918 net proceeds  (after offering costs) to the Company if and when paid.
There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Company will receive full payment
of such subscriptions.

Paid-in capital has also increased in 1996 by approximately  $47,000 as a result
of the recognition of compensation related to executive stock options.


NOTE 4-NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY

On June 15, 1995,  the Company  borrowed  $300,000  under a Convertible  Secured
Promissory  Note due March 30, 1996,  advanced from a former  shareholder  at an
annual  interest  rate of 9.5%.  As of the date of this filing the note  remains
unpaid.



NOTE 5  - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company's  founder and  former  President and Chief  Executive  Officer  has
commenced  an action  against the  Company in Florida  state  court.  The former
President alleges,  among other things,  that he was wrongfully  terminated from
his employment and seeks damages which in the aggregate could exceed $1,000,000.
The  Company  believes  that the former  President's  suit is without  merit and
intends to vigorously defend the action.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 27, 1996,  the Company  commenced a Private  Placement of shares of the
Company's  newly  established  Series E  Preferred  Stock at $10.00  per  share.
Through  the date of this  filing  the sale of  159,000  shares of the  Series E
Preferred Stock  successfully  closed with the Company receiving total proceeds,
(net  of  offering  costs)  of  $1,450,582.   The  Company  has  received  stock
subscriptions  for the purchase of an additional  158,500  shares which will, if
and when paid, represent net proceeds of $1,381,918 (after offering expenses are
paid).  There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Company will receive full
payment of such subscriptions.

On March 11, 1996, the Company and GIS Systems Limited  Partnership  executed an
agreement  whereby  the  parties  agreed  to,  among  other  things,  settle the
remaining  obligation to GIS totaling $2,324,335 by making a cash payment to GIS
of  $1,550,000,  canceling the $559,000 note  receivable  from GIS,  canceling a
$199,359 account  receivable from GIS, and with GIS returning to the Company for
retirement  the 109,333  shares of common  stock and 111,800  shares of Series B
Preferred Stock previously  issued to GIS. The cash payment of $1,550,000 to GIS
on April 12,  1996 was  principally  provided  from the  proceeds of the Private
Placement described above.

ITEM 2-MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The  following  discussions  should be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements  and notes  thereto,  and is  qualified  in its entirety by reference
thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996  VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

Revenues:

Revenues increased to $1,465,989 for the first quarter of 1996 from $618,455 for
the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $847,534 or 137%.  Revenues  consisted
of  new  system  sales  of  $1,305,559  in  1996  and  $543,455  in  1995,   and
installations  and maintenance and support to existing  customers of $160,430 in
1996 and $75,000 in 1995.  The  continuing  increase  in  revenues is  primarily
attributable to marketing activities by a larger sales staff, from the Company's
enhanced  products,  and  from  new  market  accessibility  resulting  from  the
acquisition of Delta Information  Services,  Inc. ("Delta") in December 1994 and
GIS Limited  Partnership  ("GIS") effective January 1995. Revenues for the first
quarter  of  1996  included  approximately  $324,000  from a  specific  customer
contract being accounted for on a percentage of completion  method.  (See Note 1
to the financial statements).

Cost of Revenues:

Cost of revenues for the first  quarter of 1996  includes  the costs  associated
with the hardware and software  acquired  for the  Company's  customers  and the
estimated  direct costs  associated with the engineering and installation of the
systems, and the provision of customer support.

For the first quarter of 1995, cost of revenues  includes  principally the third
party hardware and software acquired for customer installations and support. The
estimated direct costs  associated with  engineering and installing  systems and
providing  customer  support were not  specifically  categorized and reported as
cost of revenues.  In 1995,  such costs were included in  development  costs and
selling, general and administrative expenses.

For  discussion  purposes  herein,  cost of revenues will exclude the amounts of
direct cost allocated  principally from development costs to cost of revenues in
1996.

Cost of revenues  (exclusive of direct costs of $106,833)  increased to $645,057
from $365,555 in 1995,  representing a $279,502, or 76%, increase.  The increase
resulted from the increased sales. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues
in 1996 was 44% of revenues  compared  to 59% of revenues in 1995.  The ratio of
cost of revenues to revenues is a function of whether the sales or services  are
hardware or software intensive.  Hardware sales result in lower gross margins as
hardware is not developed by the Company but acquired,  as is certain  software,
for  the  customers.  Sales  of  the  Company's  software  and  related  systems
development and support  activities  provides the Company greater gross margins.
In addition,  the Company's ability to price its products and services favorably
impacts  gross  margins and  therefore  the cost of revenues  percentage.  These
factors contributed to the change in the cost of revenues to revenues percentage
between 1996 and 1995 since in 1996 a greater percentage of revenues was made up
of systems development and support.

The  Company's  cost  of  revenues,   development   and  selling,   general  and
administrative expense categories for the first quarter 1996 are consistent with
the expense  classification  presented in the Company's financial  statements in
its SEC Form 10-KSB for 1995.  The Company is  currently in process of recasting
the  quarterly  information  for 1995 to conform to that being used for 1996 and
used for its annual  reporting in 1995. This  information  will be available for
the Company's quarterly and year-to-date reporting at June 30, 1996.







                                                 
                                      -11-

<PAGE>

Development Costs:

Development  costs decreased to $133,510 ($26,677 plus $106,833 of direct costs)
in 1996 from  $395,032 in 1995,  a decrease of  $261,522,  or 66% . The decrease
reflects the costs of  development of several new products and the costs in 1995
associated with integrating products of the Company, GIS and Delta which did not
also occur in 1996. The Company does intend to continue to develop  products and
enhance existing products to ensure competitive viability in the marketplace.

In addition,  during the first quarter of 1996, existing  development  personnel
were used to enhance  certain systems  previously  installed in 1995 or earlier.
These related  costs of  approximately  $203,000 were charged  against a product
cost reserve  established  at December 31, 1995 for this  purpose.  Accordingly,
since these costs were previously  anticipated and expensed in 1995, development
costs for 1996 have been favorably impacted.

Selling, General and Administrative:

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SGA) decreased to $863,810 in 1996
from $913,358 in 1995, representing a $49,548 or 5% decrease. As a percentage of
revenues,  these  expenses were 59% in 1996 and 148% in 1995 which  reflects the
increase in revenues in 1996.

While  the  dollar  amounts  for  SGA  are  not  significantly   different,  the
percentages to revenues are  dramatically  different which reflect the Company's
ability, to a certain extent, to handle greater sales volume without significant
increase in support  personnel  and facility  costs.  Operationally  though,  as
explained  elsewhere,  the  Company  in the  first  quarter  of 1995  was at the
beginning of the transition period of integrating the operations and software of
three companies- itself, GIS and Delta. Those integration expenses  (principally
consulting and personnel  costs) are reflected in 1995 expenses and not 1996. As
part of the  integration  process,  the Company  used  consultants  which are no
longer  retained,  accounting  for a large portion of the higher level of SGA in
1995.

Bad debt expense was $19,962 for the first  quarter of 1996 compared to $-0- for
the first quarter of 1995. Rent expense for corporate offices has increased from
$14,566 for the first  quarter of 1995 to $33,738 for the first quarter of 1996,
a $19,172 increase related to the Company's move to new corporate offices.

Net loss decreased to $163,955 ($.04 a share) for the first quarter of 1996 from
$1,067,814  ($.35 a share) for the first quarter of 1995.  The components of the
decrease in the Company's net loss are explained above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

From its  inception  in October  1985  through  March 31,  1996 the  Company has
incurred a cumulative loss of $11,949,311, with a loss of $163,955 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.

In February 1995, the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the assets of GIS
for an aggregate consideration of approximately  $3,700,000.  The purchase price
consisted of 109,333  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock valued at $765,331;
111,800 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock valued at $559,000, and
the Company's unsecured,  non-interest bearing promissory notes in the aggregate
amount of  $2,324,335.  In  addition,  the  Company  agreed  to  assume  certain
liabilities  of GIS and loaned GIS $559,000 as  evidenced  by a promissory  note
from GIS due March 31,  1996,  which was secured by the pledge to the Company of
the 111,800 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock.

In order to simplify  the  Company's  capital and debt  structure,  on March 11,
1996, the Company  executed an agreement with GIS in which the Company agreed to
make a cash payment of $1,550,000 and cancel the $559,000 note  receivable  from
GIS and the $199,359  account  receivable from GIS in exchange for GIS canceling
the Company's  promissory  notes in the aggregate  amount of $2,324,335  and GIS
returning  their  109,333  shares of Common  Stock and their  111,800  shares of
Series B Preferred  stock for  retirement.  On April 12, 1996, the  transactions
contemplated by the March 11 agreement were consummated.


                                                 
                                      -12-

The cash payment of $1,550,000 made to GIS was principally provided from the net
proceeds of the Private Placement described below.

On March 27,  1996,  the  Company  commenced a Private  Placement  of 350,000 of
shares of the Company's newly established Series E Preferred Stock at $10.00 per
share.  Through the date of this filing the sale of 159,000 shares of the Series
E Preferred Stock successfully closed with the Company receiving total proceeds,
(net  of  offering  costs)  of  $1,450,582.   The  Company  has  received  stock
subscriptions  for the purchase of an additional  158,500  shares which,  if and
when paid, will result in net proceeds of $1,381,918  (after  offering  expenses
are paid). There can be no assurance,  however, that these subscriptions will be
paid in full. The Company is considering  raising additional funds and may do so
through the sale of common and/or preferred stock.

At December 31, 1995, the Company reserved $297,000 to enhance systems installed
in earlier years. During the first quarter of 1996, $203,000 was spent for these
enhancements  completed at 16 sites. As of March 31, 1996, $94,000 of the amount
reserved at December 31, 1995 remains  available for this purpose and Management
believes  this is sufficient to  accomplish  the  remaining  enhancements  to be
performed during 1996.  While these  enhancements are likely to result in future
product and service revenues, no assurance can be given.

Since the Company does not purchase  components  for its products until an order
is received,  there is  typically a backlog of orders for  systems.  The Company
defines  backlog as a signed  contract,  typically  with some type of  financial
assurance  such as a deposit.  As of March 31, 1996 and December  31, 1995,  the
Company's backlog was approximately $1,500,000 and $1,200,000, respectively.

While  no  assurances  can  be  given,  management  believes  that  the  current
organization infrastructure and the Company's products are sufficient to support
revenues  greater  than the  levels  achieved  in 1995.  In  addition,  while no
assurances  can be given,  management  believes  that the  Company's  operations
should  continue to progress  throughout 1996 and that the net proceeds from the
completion of the April 1996 Private  Placement and the operating  revenues from
sales  in 1996  should  be  sufficient  to fund  operations  through  1996.  Any
significant  new  marketing and  development  programs will only be initiated if
additional  external  financing has been obtained.  See "Operational and Funding
Matters and Reporting Basis" of Note 1 to the financial statements.
