                         INDUSTRIAL IMAGING CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The financial  statements of Industrial Imaging Corporation (the "Company")
included  herein have been prepared  pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and do not include all
of the  information  and footnote  disclosures  required by  generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial  statements  and notes  thereto  for the year  ended  March  31,  1998
included  in the  Company's  Form  10-KSB  and  Form  10-KSB/A  filed  with  the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The financial  statements  and notes herein are  unaudited,  except for the
balance sheet as of March 31, 1998,  but in the opinion of  management,  include
all the adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows
of the Company.

     The results of operations for the reported 1998 periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be achieved for any future period or for the entire
year ended March 31, 1999.

2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION
     In the last  quarter of fiscal  1998,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS No. 128,
Earnings  per Share  ("EPS").  Basic EPS is  calculated  by dividing  net income
(loss)  by the  weighted-average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for the
period. Diluted EPS is calculated the same as basic except, if not antidilutive,
stock  options are included  using the treasury  stock method to the extent that
the average share trading price exceeds the exercise  price.  As of December 31,
1998 and 1997,  assumed exercise of options and warrants are not included in the
calculation  of  diluted  EPS  since  the  effect  would  be  antidilutive.  The
implementation  of this  standard  did not have an effect  on EPS in the  period
ended December 31, 1997 and, therefore,  did not require restatement.  Basic and
diluted EPS were equal for the three months and nine months  ended  December 31,
1998 and 1997;  therefore,  no  reconciliation  between basic and diluted EPS is
required.

3.  INVENTORY
     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out)  or market
and consists of the following:

                                 DECEMBER 31,                 MARCH 31,

                                ==========                  ==========

4.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
     On  April  1,  1998,   the  Company   adopted  SFAS  No.  130,   "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income", which requires companies to report all changes in equity
during  a  period,   except  those  resulting  from  investment  by  owners  and
distribution  to owners,  in a financial  statement for the period in which they
are  recognized  ("  Comprehensive   Income").  The  Company  has  no  items  of
Comprehensive  Income  requiring   disclosure  in  the  accompanying   financial
statements for all periods presented.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     COMPARISON OF THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

     Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1998 ("Interim 1999") were
$599,938  compared to $541,182  for the three  months  ended  December  31, 1997
("Interim 1998").  Product revenues increased by 23% to $518,600 in Interim 1999
from  $421,499  for Interim  1998 due  primarily to an increase in the number of
units sold. Service revenues decreased from $119,683 for Interim 1998 to $81,338
for Interim 1999. Historically the Company has experienced significant quarterly
fluctuations  in operating  results due to the  relatively  small number of high
priced sales in any quarter. Management expects these fluctuations to continue.

     Cost of revenues  for Interim  1999 was  $689,192  compared to $516,489 for
Interim  1998.  Primarily as a result of increased  service  costs,  there was a
gross loss for Interim 1999 of $89,254  (14.9% of revenues)  compared to a gross
profit percentage of 4.6% ($24,693) for Interim 1998.

     Engineering  expenses for Interim 1999 of $129,554  increased from $106,258
for Interim  1998.  The  increase of $23,296  (21.9%) was due  primarily  to the
increase in staffing and related costs.

     Sales and  marketing  expenses  decreased to $157,730 for Interim 1999 from
$176,338 for Interim 1998. The decrease of $18,608  (10.6%) was due primarily to
a decrease in commissions  offset by increased staffing and related expenses and
demonstration equipment expenses.

    General and  administrative  expenses decreased to $164,281 for Interim 1999
from  $210,829  for  Interim  1998.  The  decrease  of $46,548  (22.1%)  was due
primarily to decreases in professional fees and amortization.

     Interest expense (net) was $46,075 for Interim 1999 compared to $32,422 for
Interim 1998.  This was due to interest on the new capital lease during  Interim
1999 and a decrease in the interest  earned during  Interim 1998 on the proceeds
from the  issuance of stock  during the period as compared  with  Interim  1999.
Other  expense was $1,186 for Interim 1999  (comprised of  unfavorable  currency
translations)  compared to other  expense of $140,115  for Interim  1998 made up
primarily of the $125,000  compensation charge relating to warrants exercised at
a discount.

     Due to the  uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits of net operating loss
carryforwards,  no provision for income tax benefit was made for either  Interim
1999 or Interim 1998.

     As a result of the  decreases  in operating  expenses  and other  expenses,
offset by the decrease in gross profits,  the net loss decreased to $588,080 for
Interim 1999, as compared to $641,269 for Interim 1998.

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

     Net revenues for the nine months ended  December 31, 1998 were  $3,233,480,
as  compared  to  $2,154,952  for the same  period in 1997,  an increase of 50%.
Product  revenues  increased  by 61.3% to  $2,950,060  for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 from  $1,828,677 for the same period in 1997, due primarily to
the  increase  in the number of units  sold.  Service  revenues  decreased  from
$326,275  for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $283,420 for the same nine
months in fiscal 1999.

     Cost of revenues  for the first nine  months of fiscal 1999 was  $2,689,828
compared to $2,183,243 for the same period in fiscal 1998. Primarily as a result
of the  increased  revenues  covering  certain  fixed  costs,  gross profit as a
percent of net  revenues for nine months  ended  December 31, 1998  increased to
16.8%  ($543,652)  from a gross loss of 1.3%  ($28,291)  for the same  period in
1997.

     Engineering  expenses  for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 of $542,070
increased  from  $329,457  for the same period in fiscal  1998.  The increase of
$212,613 (64.5%) was due primarily to the expanding of the engineering staff and
related costs, and additional development costs for the AOI-2500 systems.

     Sales and  marketing  expenses  increased  to $675,093  for the nine months
ended  December 31, 1998 from $396,652 for the first nine months of fiscal 1998.
The increase of $278,441  (70.2%) was due primarily to increased  commissions on
the greater  sales  volume,  increases  in staffing  and  related  expenses  and
demonstration equipment expenses.

    General and administrative expenses decreased to $564,304 for the first nine
months of fiscal  1999 from  $665,876  for the same period in fiscal  1998.  The
decrease of $101,572 (15.3%) was due primarily to decreases in professional fees
and amortization.

     Interest  expense (net) was $119,416 for the nine months ended December 31,
1998, compared to $131,288 for the same nine month period in 1997.  This was due
primarily to the decrease in interest  earned on the proceeds  from the issuance
of stock from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999.  Other income was $1,958 for the first
nine  months of fiscal  1999  (comprised  of  favorable  currency  translations)
compared to other  expense of  $145,335  for fiscal  1998,  made up of state tax
expenses and the $125,000  compensation charge relating to warrants exercised at
a discount offset by favorable currency translations.

     Due to the  uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits of net operating loss
carryforwards,  no  provision  for income tax benefit was made for either of the
nine month periods ended December 31, 1998 or 1997.

     As a result  of the  increased  revenues  and the  resulting  gross  profit
reduced by certain increased expenses, the net loss for the first nine months of
fiscal 1999 decreased to  $1,355,273,  as compared to the net loss of $1,696,899
for the same period in fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has incurred  operating  losses since  inception that continued
through December 31, 1998. In addition,  the financial statements of the Company
for Fiscal 1998 and 1999 were prepared on the  assumption  that the Company will
continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that would result
if the Company  would cease as a going  concern.  The report of the  independent
accountants  contains an  explanatory  paragraph as to the Company's  ability to
continue as a going concern.  Among the factors cited by the auditors as raising
substantial  doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
that the Company  has  suffered  recurring  losses  from  operations,  has a net
working capital  deficiency and had an accumulated  deficit of $11,754,996 as of
December 31, 1998.  The Company's  operations to date have been funded by equity
investments,  borrowing  from banks,  investors and  stockholders,  factoring of
accounts  receivable,  and to a limited extent,  cash flow from  operations.  In
addition, the Company raised $3 million of new equity in November 1997.

     At December  31,  1998,  the  Company  had cash of  $88,005,  and a working
capital  deficit of $975,324.  During the nine months  ended  December 31, 1998,
cash used in  operating  activities  was  $542,524.  The Company  entered into a
sale/leaseback  transaction  during  the first  nine  months  of fiscal  1999 to
finance a demonstation system to aid in the pursuit of sales opportunities.  The
Company   currently  has  no  outstanding   material   commitments  for  capital
expenditures.

     The Company  derives most of its annual  revenues  from a relatively  small
number of sales of products,  systems and upgrades,  with product prices ranging
from  $185,000 to $600,000 per system.  As a result,  accounts  receivable  will
likely  continue to fluctuate based on the number of systems sold in each period
and the timing of the individual sales within each period.  Moreover,  any delay
in the  recognition  of revenue  for single  products  or a delay in shipment to
customers,  systems or  upgrades  would have a  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's results of operations for a given accounting period. In addition, some
of the  Company's  net  sales  have  been  realized  near the end of a  quarter.
Accordingly,  a delay in a customer's  acceptance or in a shipment  scheduled to
occur near the end of a particular quarter could materially adversely affect the
Company's  results of  operations  for that  quarter.  The  accounts  receivable
balance  increased  from $214,450 at March 31, 1998, to $793,219 at December 31,
1998,  due to the  increased  sales of  systems  and a slow down in  collections
during the first nine months of fiscal 1999.  Inventories  decreased by $682,987
during the nine months ended December 31, 1998 to $1,312,207.

     Accounts payable increased from $599,785 at March 31, 1998 to $1,211,037 at
December  31,  1998,  primarily  due to an  increase  in the  aging of  accounts
payable.  Deferred  revenue  decreased by $68,807 as a result of decreased  down
payments from customers.

     Management  recognizes that the Company needs to obtain additional  working
capital to address its immediate and long-term operational needs and to fund the
Company's objective of aggressively pursuing 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.  In
addition,  the Company is currently seeking bank financing as well as additional
equity  investments.  There can be no  assurance  that the  Company  can attract
additional  capital at favorable  rates,  if at all. In the event the Company is
unable to raise additional  capital, it may be required to take additional steps
which could include a merger or sale of the Company, or seeking protection under
bankruptcy laws.

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

         The  Company  has  considered  the  potential  problems  that may arise
because  of the year 2000 as it relates to the  Company's  internal  information
systems.  It is the Company's  opinion that,  having considered the systems that
the  Company  presently  utilizes,  the year 2000  should not  present  material
problems  with respect to its own internal  information  systems.  To date,  the
Company is unaware of any  situations  of  noncompliance  that would  materially
adversely  affect  its  operations  or  financial  condition.  There  can  be no
assurance,  however, that instances of noncompliance which could have a material
adverse  effect on the Company's  operations or financial  condition will not be
identified; that the systems of other companies with which the Company transacts
business will be corrected on a timely basis; or that a failure by such entities
to correct a Year 2000 problem or a correction  which is  incompatible  with the
Company's  information  systems would not have a material  adverse effect on the
Company's operations or financial condition.
