                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
     Industrial Imaging Corporation:

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Industrial Imaging
Corporation as of March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 and the related statements
of operations and shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year
ended March 31, 1997, the period from October 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996 and the
years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Industrial Imaging
Corporation at March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 1997, the period from
October 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996 and the years ended September 30, 1995 and
1994 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 discussed in Note B to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has a net working capital deficiency and stockholders' deficit that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are described in Note B. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

                         INDUSTRIAL IMAGING CORPORATION

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

   Nature of Business

     Triple I Corporation (the "Company" or "Triple I"), a Delaware corporation,
was organized as a successor to AOI Systems, Inc., whose assets and technologies
it purchased in October 1992, for the purpose of manufacturing and selling
optical inspection systems in the printed circuit board industry. The Company
operates under the trade name of AOI International and has manufacturing
operations based in Lowell, Massachusetts with customers located in the United
States, Europe, and Asia.

   Exchange

     On November 16, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
transaction with Orbis, Inc. ("Orbis"), a publicly held corporation, whose only
activity had been expenses during the fiscal year relating to filing fees and
minimal overhead costs. Orbis has had no significant revenue for the last four
fiscal years. On December 5, 1996, the Orbis stockholders approved the
transaction between Triple I and Orbis, whereby the stockholders of Triple I
exchanged 100% of the outstanding Common Stock of Triple I for 90% of the
outstanding common stock of Orbis (the "Exchange"). On February 1, 1997, the
Exchange was completed as the Company obtained approval from 100% of its
shareholders. The Exchange will be accounted for as a capital stock transaction
and will be treated as a recapitalization of Triple I with Triple I as the
acquiror (reverse acquisition). The costs of the Exchange will be charged to
other expense and no goodwill will be recorded.

     In connection with the Exchange, Orbis reincorporated from a Rhode Island
corporation to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Industrial Imaging
Corporation via a merger of Orbis into Industrial Imaging Corporation. As a
result, Triple I became a wholly owned subsidiary of Industrial Imaging
Corporation.

  Change in Year-End

     In anticipation of the Exchange, the Company changed its year-end from a
twelve-month period ending September 30 to a twelve-month period ending March
31. The financial statements include presentation of the transition period
beginning October 1, 1995 and ending on March 31, 1996.

B. MANAGEMENT's FINANCING AND CAPITAL FORMATION PLANS

     Since its inception, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations resulting in a net shareholders' deficit at March 31, 1997 and has
been unable to pay certain debt obligations. The remedies available to the debt
holders include immediate demand of payment and foreclosure. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty. The ultimate success of the Company is dependent
upon its ability to continue to raise financing and significantly increase
contract revenue or product sales. However, the Company's capital requirements
may change depending upon numerous factors, including the demand for the
Company's product. In November 1997, the Company raised $3 million in a private
equity transaction. Management believes that with this additional capital, it
will have adequate funds to aggressively pursue market penetration. In view of
the Company's current financial condition, the Company plans to continue to
aggressively manage its working capital and expenses while pursuing product
sales opportunities as well as strategic or other business relationships.

C. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.

   Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

   Property And Equipment

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated
useful lives of the assets, 3 to 5 years, or lease term. Maintenance and repair
costs are expensed as incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon
the sale or retirement of fixed assets, the accounts are relieved of the cost
and the related accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss
included in income.

   Patents

     Purchased patents are valued at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis
over five years.

   Revenue Recognition

                                      F-7
<PAGE>   10
                         INDUSTRIAL IMAGING CORPORATION
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Sales of inspection systems and evaluation units are recorded when customer
acceptance requirements are met. Revenue from service maintenance contracts is
deferred and is recognized over the term of the contract, generally one year.
Revenue from government grants is recognized when specific contract requirements
have been met and no significant contingencies remain under the contract. The
Company generally requires payment from customers in U.S. dollars as part of its
normal payment terms. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates to date have not
had a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

   Income taxes

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
which requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities using the current statutory tax rates. If it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a
valuation allowance is recognized.

   Net Loss Per Common Share

   Net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of common shares and common equivalent shares (using the treasury method)
outstanding after certain adjustments described below. Common equivalent shares
are not included in the per-share calculations where the effect of their
inclusion would be antidilutive.

   Research And Development

     Expenditures for research, development and engineering of products and
manufacturing processes are expensed as incurred. Cost reimbursement under
collaborative research agreements are recorded as offsets to research and
development expenses.

   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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

   Accounting Pronouncements

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128. "Earning
Per Share" which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 1997,
including interim periods. Earlier adoption is not permitted. However, the
statement permits disclosure of pro forma earnings per share amounts computed
under SFAS 128 in the notes to the financial statements in periods prior to
adoption. The statement requires restatement of all prior period earnings per
share data presented after the effective date. SFAS 128 specifies the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share and
is substantially similar to the standards recently issued by the International
Accounting Standards Committee entitled International Accounting Standards,
Earnings Per Share. The Company will adopt SFAS 128 in fiscal 1998 and has not
yet determined its impact.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued two additional statements. SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" are both effective for years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Adoption of these standards are not expected to impact the
financial results of the Company.

   Concentrations of Credit Risk

   A significant portion of the Company's sales are to customers whose
principal activities relate to the printed circuit board industry, included a
heavy concentration of sales to customers in foreign countries. (See note P).
Although the Company generally requires advance deposits or letters of credit
from customers, the Company sometimes extends credit to its foreign customers
and collection may be more difficult in the event of a default.

D. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit terms on a
customer-by-customer basis based on its evaluation of collectibility exposure.
Management's estimates of losses in this area are recorded through an evaluation
of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The risk of loss from
any concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated
by management's evaluation and provision, the policy of securing larger dollar
sales with substantial deposits at order and ship dates, and the incentive for
customers to maintain their credit standing in order to receive ongoing
technical service.

     During the year ended March 31, 1997 and the six months ended March 31,
1996, accounts receivable in the amounts of $347,500 and $261,400, respectively,
were factored, without recourse, to a related party. Specific invoices were sold
under individual purchase and

sale agreements. The Company receives a portion of the value of a receivable at
the date of the sale. Subsequent receipts of sold receivables are forwarded in
full to the factor. Interest is calculated at Prime + 4% over the time the money
owed the factor is outstanding. The transaction is completed when the Company
receives the remaining balance of the receivable, net of interest charges, from
the factor. Interest on these contracts totaled $21,257, $16,201, $7,642 and
$3,415 during the year ended March 31, 1997, the six months ended March 31,
1996, and the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The Company holds several patents that were purchased. These patents are
stated at the acquisition cost of $531,250 and are amortized using the
straight-line method over 5 years. Amortization expense was $106,250, $53,125,
$106,250, and $106,250 for the year ended March 31, 1997, the six months ended
March 31, 1996, and the years ended September 30, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

     The Company periodically reviews the propriety of carrying amounts of its
intangible assets as well as the amortization periods to determine whether
current events and circumstances warrant adjustment to the carrying value or
estimates useful lives. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates whether
there has been a permanent impairment in the value of goodwill by assessing the
carrying value of goodwill against anticipated future cash flows from related
operating activities. Factors which management considers in performing this
assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects and, in
addition, demand, competition and other economic factors.

H. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is obligated under a lease agreement for an office and
manufacturing facility in Lowell, Massachusetts, expiring on November 30, 1998.

     Under the terms of the lease, the Company must pay base rent of $9,970 per
month plus the Company's pro rata share of certain costs paid by the landlord.
Total rent expense was $133,639, $66,084, $93,233, and $76,179 for the year
ended March 31, 1997, the six months ended March 31, 1996, and the years ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The amount of future minimum lease payments under the operating lease is as
follows:

     On August 1, 1994 the Company entered into a cooperative agreement with the
U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Research Project Agency ("ARPA") to research
optics. The Company is finalizing its obligation under the contract. As of March
31, 1997, the Company had incurred $320,000 in project expenses and had received
$320,000 in matching funds from ARPA which have been recorded as cost
reimbursement against research and development expense to the extent of costs
incurred.

     On November 28, 1994 the Company entered into an eight-year license and
collaboration agreement with Polaroid Corporation ("Polaroid") to promote the
development, marketing, and sales in the field of printed circuit board
production, and to collaborate in the fields of Automatic Inspection and PCB
PhotoTool generation.

     Under the Polaroid Agreement, the Company is required to meet certain sales
and performance milestones to maintain the Company's exclusivity concerning the
technology. The Company and Polaroid are in the process of resolving a dispute
regarding exclusivity. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of this
dispute will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     In March 1996, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with
Centennial Technologies, Inc. ("Centennial") whereby Centennial had agreed to
purchase components and materials up to $3 million on behalf of the Company and
resell them to the Company. The Company has agreed to pay Centennial upon full
payment from the Company's customers as systems are sold. The agreement is
effective until June 30, 1997 and purchases must be specifically authorized by
Centennial. As of March 31, 1996, Centennial had authorized purchases for the
first $750,000. In accordance with the agreement, the Company incurred a one
time non-refundable fee of $200,000, which is included in General and
Administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1996. In May 1997,
the Company and Centennial agreed to terminate the purchase agreement. The
Company liquidated amounts owed to Centennial under the agreement by paying
approximately $132,000 in cash and agreeing to issue 600,000 shares of common
stock to payoff the remaining balance of approximately $1.2 million.

shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of
common stock at $1.00 per share through February 6, 1999. In addition, the

     In May 1996, the Company issued a note to a related party for $200,000,
bearing interest of 10% per annum, due May 1997. In June 1996, the related party
converted this $200,000 unpaid debt into 200,000 shares of common stock, and
purchased 250,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. In August 1996, the
Company issued a note to a related party for $100,000 bearing interest of 12.25%
per annum, due September 1996. This note was repaid in January 1997 plus accrued
interest. In November 1996, the Company issued a note to a related party for
$130,000 bearing interest of 12.25% per annum, due 90 days from the date of
issuance. This note was repaid in January 1996 plus accrued interest. In
December 1996, the Company issued a note to a related party for $150,000 due in
December 1999, bearing interest of 10% per annum.

     In January 1997, a shareholder of the Company converted a loan in the
amount of $150,000 to a subordinated note which bears interest at 10% per annum
and is payable in January 1999. The Company issued 44,100 shares of common stock
to the noteholder in conjunction with this transaction. The common stock was
recorded in equity at $1.00 per share or a total of $44,100 which the Company
deemed to be fair market value with the offset to other expense. Payment of this
note is accelerated in the event the Company raises a certain amount of equity
financing. In addition, a shareholder of the Company loaned the Company $50,000
in January 1997. The Company issued a subordinated promissory note which bears
interest at 10% per annum and is due in two years. Payment of this note is
accelerated in the event the Company raises a certain amount of equity
financing. In addition, the Company issued 14,700 shares of common stock to the
noteholder in conjunction with this transaction. The common stock was recorded
in equity at $1.00 per share or a total of $14,700 which the Company deemed to
be fair market value with the offset to other expense.

     In January 1997, the Company through Schneider Securities, Inc. (the
"Placement Agent"), commenced the 1997 bridge financing through the sale of 5
units, each of which consists of a $50,000 subordinated promissory note bearing
interest at an annual rate of 10% and 10,714 shares of the Company's common
stock. The promissory notes are due two years after issue and payment is
accelerated in the event the Company raises a certain amount of equity
financing. In February 1997, the Company raised $250,000 through the sale of 5
units and issued 53,570 shares of common stock. The common stock was recorded in
equity at $2.10 per share or a total of $112,497 which the Company deemed to be
fair market value, based upon the recent exchange, with the offset to other
expense.

     The above debt instruments contain numerous covenants and remedies upon
default including immediate demand of payment and foreclosure. As of March 31,
1997, the Company had not repaid various borrowings that had become due and
therefore is in default. In addition, the collateralized note is secured by all
assets of the Company.

K. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company's Board of Directors approved a 20-for-1 stock split of the
common and preferred stock in February 1996. Accordingly, share information for
all periods has been adjusted to reflect the split.

     Through Schneider Securities, Inc. (the "Placement Agent"), the Company
raised $559,210 (net of issuance costs of $140,790) from February 1996 through
March 1996. In April 1996, the Company raised $147,036 (net of issuance costs of
$32,964) for the Private Placement (the "Private Placement"). The Company also
issued warrants as part of the Private Placement, which were issued with an
exercise price equal to the price of the common stock issued during the Private
Placement. In accordance with the Private Placement, the Company issued to the
Placement Agent warrants for the purchase of 88,000 shares of common stock
exercisable on April 27, 1997 at an exercise price of $1.20 per share. In
addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 44,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share, to legal counsel in
conjunction with the Private Placement. The Company accounts for the warrants at
fair value. At the date of issuance, the value of the warrants was not material.

     In June 1996, a related party purchased 200,000 shares of common stock at
$1.00 per share. In January 1997, a shareholder exercised warrants to purchase
230,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had not repaid various borrowings that
had become due and therefore was in default. In February 1996, the Company and
various debt holders entered into an agreement to convert $1,270,637 of unpaid
debt and interest into 1,270,637 shares of the Company's common stock. In

purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share through
February 6, 1999.

     The Company has 5,867,498 and 3,537,037 shares of voting common stock
issued and outstanding at March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends only when declared by,
and at the discretion of, the Board of Directors. An aggregate of 800,000 shares
of voting common stock are reserved as follows: 200,000 shares for options under
the 1992 Stock Option Plan; and 600,000 share for options under the 1995 Stock
Option Plan.

     The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par
value of $.01 per share. At March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, 0 and 633,000
shares were issued and outstanding. In February, 1997, 633,000 preferred shares
were converted to common shares on a one for one basis. The holders of the
shares of preferred stock vote in certain circumstances and receive dividends in
parity with holders of the common stock. Dividends are noncumulative for the
Series A stock, while annual dividends are cumulative for the Series B Stock at
10% of the

redemption value of $1.39.

     The Series A and Series B Stock are convertible at the option of the holder
into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate using a
conversion price that will be adjusted in certain instances such as dilutive
issuances of equity securities, as defined. At March 31, 1996 and September 30,
1995, the per share conversion rate for the Series A Stock was $4.80 divided by
the initial conversion price of $4.80, or one for one. At March 31, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, the per share conversion rate for the Series B Stock was
$1.39 divided by the initial conversion price of $1.39, also one for one.

     Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the
Series A and Series B Stock, in parity with one another, are entitled to
receive, prior and in preference to the holders of shares of stock ranking
junior to the Series A and Series B stock, an amount equal to $4.80 and $1.39
per share, respectively. In addition, Series B stockholders are entitled to any
accrued dividends at the date of liquidation.

     As of March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, no Series B stock was outstanding
and no dividends were declared or accrued by the Company.

     In November 1997, an outside investor executed a Securities Purchase
Agreement to invest $3 million in the Company by purchasing 3,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share. In accordance with the agreement,
the Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at
$1.00 per share through November 12, 2002, and issued warrants to purchase
1,000,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share through November 12, 2002.
The investor was granted demand registration rights starting six months from the

addition, the investor holds a seat on the board of directors. The agreement
contains certain covenants which restrict future activities of the company
including mergers or acquisitions, borrowings, issuance of securities, payment
of dividends, granting a security interest in company assets, and the purchase
or sale of assets. The investment has been funded and closing and issuance costs
(including commissions) amounted to approximately $250,000.

L. STOCK WARRANTS

     The Company has issued stock warrants as part of certain debt and equity
transactions and accounts for warrants when issued at fair value. At date of

     Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the deferred tax
assets in future income tax returns, the Company has recorded a full valuation
allowance against its otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets.

N. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     Effective October 26, 1992, the Company implemented a deferred compensation
plan (the "Plan") under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the
Plan, employees are permitted to contribute, subject to certain limitations. The
Company's contribution to the Plan is discretionary and the Company has not
contributed to the Plan since its inception.

O. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

     During 1993, the Company adopted, subject to shareholder approval, a stock
award and incentive plan which permits the issuance of options or stock
appreciation rights (SARs) to selected employees and independent contractors of
the Company. The plan reserves 200,000 shares of common stock for grant and
provides that the term of each award be determined by the Board of Directors
charged with administering the plan.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


     Under the terms of the plan, options granted may be either nonqualified or
incentive stock options and the exercise price, determined by the Board of
Directors, may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date of
grant. SARs and limited SARs granted in tandem with an option shall be
exercisable only to the extent the underlying option is exercisable and the
grant price shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying option. All
options granted in 1993 and 1994 had an exercise price of $.20 per share. 42,140
options were granted in October of 1992 to employees who transferred to Triple I
from AOI Systems; these options were immediately exercisable. All other options
granted during 1993 and 1994 vest over a five-year period. In September 1995,
the Company granted to certain employees, 34,060 options with an exercise price
of $1.00 per share, vesting over a five-year period. Also during September 1995,
the Company granted to an officer of the Company, 40,000 options with an
exercise price of $1.00 per share, vesting over a two-year period. In May 1996
and January 1997 the Company granted 100,000 options and 50,000 options
respectively, at $1.00 per share to officers of the Company. Also, in November
1996, 130,600 options were granted to employees at $1.00 per share. During the
year ended March 31, 1997, the Company, in connection with certain stock option
grants, recognized $26,400 in compensation expense, due to extending the
exercise period which resulted in a remeasurement date.

     Details of stock options are as follows:

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 is effective for periods beginning after
December 15, 1995, and requires that companies either recognize compensation
expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments based
on fair value, or provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per
share in the notes to the financial statements. The company adopted the
disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 for the year ended March 31, 1997 and has
applied APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its plans.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized.

     Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates as calculated in
accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for
the years ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 would have been reduced to the
pro forma amounts indicated below:

amounts. SFAS 123 does not apply to awards prior to Fiscal 1996 and additional
awards in the future years are anticipated.

     The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using
the Minimum Value option-pricing model with the following assumptions: an
expected life of six years, no dividends, and risk free interest rates of 6.2%
and 6.1% for the years ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.
The fair value of options granted in the year ended March 31, 1997 and the six
months ended March 31, 1996 was $280,600 and $0.

The following table summarizes information about stock options at March 31,
1997:
