NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 1997

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Photon  Technology  International  Inc. (the  "Company") is engaged in research,
development,  manufacturing,  sales and marketing of proprietary electro-optical
systems  which  enable  customers  in health  care,  environmental  science  and
industrial  process control to perform advance  analysis  utilizing  light.  The
Company's major products are  electro-optical  and  light-based  instrumentation
which utilizes  fluorescence  technology.  The primary  markets are medical life
sciences, physical sciences, environmental and industrial.

The Company operates in one principal industry segment,  the photonics industry.
The Company's  products are sold on a worldwide basis to universities,  research
hospitals,  pharmaceutical  companies,  bio-tech  companies,  federal  and state
government institutions, environmental companies and commercial business, all of
which are primarily engaged in research activities.

The  accompanying   consolidated   financial  statements  of  Photon  Technology
International,  Inc. have been prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10K and Article 10 of regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information  and footnotes  required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)
considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.  Operating
results for the six month  period ended  December  31, 1997 are not  necessarily
indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the year ending June 30,
1998. For further  information,  refer to the consolidated  financial statements
and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual report or Form 10K for
the year ended June 30, 1997.

In 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 128,  Earnings per Share.  Statement 128 replaced the
previously  reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary  earnings per share,  basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive  effects of options,  warrants,  and convertible
securities.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  is very  similar  to the  previously
reported  fully diluted  earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts for
all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to the
Statement 128 requirements.


NOTE B -- COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS

Certain  comparative amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year.

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997 of $2.0 million
and $4.0 million, respectively,  decreased $167,000 or 7.8% and $20,000 or 0.5%,
respectively,  compared  to the same  periods of fiscal  1997.  These  decreases
reflect the impact of product  orders  received late in the quarter which have a
45-60 day lead time to produce and ship to customers.

Total  revenues for the quarter and six months  ended  December 31, 1997 of $2.0
million  and $4.1  million,  respectively,  which  include  net  sales and other
income,  decreased $158,000 or 7.4% and increased $5,000 or 0.1%,  respectively,
compared to the corresponding prior year periods. This performance reflects both
the lower sales  impact which was offset by an increase in other  income.  Other
income for the first six months of fiscal 1998  increased  by $26,000  primarily
due to interest earned on cash equivalents.

Cost of  products  sold for the second  quarter of fiscal  1998 was  $913,000 or
46.5% of net sales, which compares to $875,000 or 41.0% of net sales in the same
period  of  fiscal  1997.  The  increase  of  $38,000  or 4.3%,  was due both to
increased costs related to plant  production  operations and increased  shipping
costs. Cost of products sold for the six months ended December 31, 1997 was $1.7
million,  or 43.4% of net sales  compared to $1.6 million or 40.9% for the prior
six month period.  Increased costs are a result of increases in plant production
operations and increased shipping costs.

Selling (including marketing),  general and administrative  expenses of $970,000
for the  second  quarter  and $2.0  million  for the six  months of fiscal  1998
increased  $346,000  or  20.8%  and  $62,000  or  6.8%,  respectively,  for  the
comparable  periods of fiscal 1997.  These expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased  from 42.6% to 49.4% in the second quarter and from 40.5% to 49.2% for
the six month  period.  The  increase  in selling,  general  and  administrative
expense  as a  percentage  of net sales in the  quarter  and six  month  periods
primarily  related to increased  marketing and selling  expenses for advertising
and  trade  shows to  develop  anticipated  sales  increases.  These  costs  are
anticipated  to level off to a normal level  during the  remainder of the fiscal
year.

Research and development expenditures for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were
$260,000  or 13.2% of net  sales and for the  first  six  months of fiscal  1998
totaled  $445,000 or 11.1% of net sales. In comparison to the prior year,  these
expenses were $200,000 or 9.4% for the quarter and $449,000 or 11.1% for the six
month period.  An additional  $52,000 of software  development  expenses,  which
represents 1.3% of net sales,  was capitalized for the six months ended December
31, 1997 and represents a significant  reduction in software  capitalization  in
comparison to the same prior year period. These expenses year-to-year are due to
the level of project activity for new products.

Interest  expense  for  the six  months  ended  December  31,  1997 of  $137,000
decreased  $23,000  or 16.7% in  comparison  to the  prior  year  periods.  This
decrease  primarily  relates to interest on long term debt  related to financing
activities  in prior years.  Interest  expense for the second  quarter of fiscal
1998 of $55,000 decreased $24,000 or 43.6% compared to fiscal 1997.

Depreciation  and amortization of $159,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1998
and  $328,000  for the first six months of fiscal 1998  increased  by $83,000 or
108.2% and by $168,000 or 105%,  respectively  in comparison to the same periods
of fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily due to the  amortization of software
development costs incurred in prior years.

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Foreign  exchange  represented  nominal  losses of $15,095  and  $14,305 for the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997,  respectively.  The current year
loss in comparison to the gain of $25 for the first six months of the prior year
was due to the mix of transactional activity.

Deferred tax  benefits of $0 for the quarter and $0 for the six months  compared
to $6,000  and  $11,000,  respectively  for the same  prior  year  periods.  The
deferred tax benefits in related  prior  periods to timing  differences  between
book and tax income  related to the  Canadian and German  subsidiaries.  The tax
benefits  represent a continuing  reversal of the liability that was established
during the year ended June 30, 1995.

The  Company  reported a net loss of $398,000  for the second  quarter of fiscal
1998, compared to net income of $1,000 for the same prior year quarter.  For the
six  month  period  ended  December  31,  1997,  the net  loss was  $597,000  in
comparison  to $2,000  for the same prior year six  months.  Continued  expenses
related to advertising and trade shows to develop  anticipated  sales increases,
increased costs of production and the amortization of software development costs
were the significant items which impacted the net loss.

The resulting  loss per share  performance  based on the number of common shares
outstanding  each period was $(.48) and $(.32) per share for the quarter and six
months  ended  December  31,  1997,  in  comparison  to no  earnings  per  share
respectively for the same prior year periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The working capital of the Company at December 31, 1997 was $1,610,000  compared
to $2,165,000 at June 30, 1997; a decrease of $555,000 or 25.6%

Current assets of $4,683,000  decreased $913,000 or 16.2% from the end of fiscal
1997. This change  primarily  reflected a decrease of $681,000 or 32.8% in trade
accounts  receivable  which was  partially  offset  by an  increase  in  prepaid
expenses  and other  current  assets of $105,000  or 32.2%.  The change in trade
receivables  primarily related to strong collection activity and the lower sales
volume  during  the six months  ended  December  31,  1997.  The trade  accounts
receivable  balance of $1.4 million represents 2.1 months of sales in comparison
to 3.0 months of sales at June 30, 1997. The inventory  level of $2.1 million at
December  31,  1997,  which is an increase of $253,000 or 13.8%  compared to the
inventory  balance at June 30, 1997,  reflects both a higher level of production
volume to support  future  sales,  and new  product  inventory.  This  inventory
balance  represents 7.1 months of sales in inventory based on anticipated  sales
volume and  compares  to 6.5 months of sales in  inventory  at the end of fiscal
1997.  The increase in other current assets mainly related to the timing of: (a)
prepaid employee benefit insurance;  (b) prepaid general insurance premiums; (c)
reimbursable value added taxes (VAT) and general goods and services taxes (GST);
(d) prepaid legal  services;  and (e) trade show deposits and related  marketing
costs.

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

Current  liabilities of $3,073,000  decreased $358,000 or 10.4% in comparison to
the prior year end.  This decrease was due to: (a) reduction in notes payable to
banks of $147,000 of 11.1% based on pay down of the German subsidiary bank line;
(b)  reduction in trade  accounts  payable of $223,000 or 21.0% based on payment
activity;  (c)  lower  deferred  income  of  $17,000  or  33.4%  due to  revenue
recognition on customer  orders;  lower accrued  liabilities of $20,000 or 11.7%
due to reversal of year end accruals in relation to actual expenses incurred and
primarily  related  to agent and  sales  representative  commissions;  and (d) a
reduction in the current  portion of long term debt by $11,000 or 1.2%. This was
offset by an increase in deferred income of $44,000 or 366.7%.

As of December 15, 1997 the Company  renewed its working  capital line of credit
facility with Silicon  Valley Bank of  California  for  $2,000,000.  This credit
facility  has a one (1) year term  (expiring  December  14, 1998) and carries an
interest  rate  charge at the  prime  rate  plus  1.5%  (approximately  10.0% at
December 14, 1998).  Interest is due and payable  monthly,  and the principal is
due at  maturity.  The  collateral  for the line  represents  a perfected  first
security  interest  in all  assets of the  Company,  its  wholly-owned  Canadian
subsidiary and United Kingdom branch office.  The Company will retain  ownership
of intellectual property and is restricted on the pledge of this property to any
other  party.  The advance  rate is based on 75% against  eligible  domestic and
Canadian receivables within 90 days from invoice date and 90% against insured or
letter of credit  backed  foreign  receivables.  No clean-up  period is required
during the term of the loan.  The  securities  related to the Covington  Capital
debenture  and the MLTV note are  subordinated  to the bank  debt.  The  balance
outstanding at December 31, 1997 was $1.2 million.

Bank indebtedness also includes the outstanding  balance of $154,000 US (276,000
DM) at December 31, 1997 drawn on a credit facility with the  Stadparkasse  Bank
of Wedel, Germany. The total line of credit available is 400,000 DM. Interest is
charged on a quarterly basis at the German Federal Bank's discount rate plus two
points.

During  December  1995 the Company  agreed to pay MLTV the  principal  amount of
$20,000 per month for a  twenty-four  (24) month period for a total of $480,000.
The balance of $291,000 would be due at the end of the two year term. As of June
30,  1997,  the Company  has paid  $140,000  and  reduced the total  outstanding
balance to $631,000.  The Company is not required to pay any additional interest
on the outstanding  balance under this agreement unless the Company makes a late
payment or an event of default under the terms of the agreement  occurs. On June
21, 1996,  MLTV agreed to defer four payments  from June 1996 through  September
1996. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding balance remained at $631,000. The
deferred amount will be subject to interest in accordance with the agreement.

As a result of the  modification of the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank
on November 27, 1996, the Company has agreed to make no payments of principal on
this  subordinated  debt to MLTV prior to  December  1997 unless the Company has
closed a "qualified  offering"  prior to such date. If a qualified  offering has
not closed,  the Company  will pay MTLV a balloon  payment of  $631,000.  Once a
qualified  offering has closed,  principal  payments of the subordinated debt to
MLTV shall resume according to the previous  schedule,  as provided in the terms
of the subordinated note.

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

On October 31, 1995,  the Company  entered into a Debenture  agreement  for $1.5
million Canadian dollars ($1.1 million US) through C.I.-C.P.A. Business Ventures
Fund, Inc. a capital fund of Covington Capital Corporation ("Covington Capital")
(the "Covington Agreement"). This subordinated debt has a term of five (5) years
at an interest rate of 12% per annum.  This financing was an important source of
funds which provided for investment to expand sales territory  coverage  through
addition of personnel,  increase  marketing  support,  and continue research and
development  efforts in both  hardware and software for new products and product
cost reductions.

In July 1994,  documents were fully  executed  between the "ODC" and the Company
for a term loan facility in the amount of $500,000  Canadian  dollars.  The loan
credit  facility  was  established  to allow  advance  requests  for  equipment,
inventory  and  training  expenditures  associated  with  moving the  production
operation  from New Jersey plant to the London,  Ontario,  Canadian  plant.  The
balance  outstanding  as of December 31, 1997 on the ODC fixed loan was $239,561
Canadian  dollars  ($167,501  US) based on specific  advance  requests  approved
through  this date.  The term of  repayment is forty (40) months and includes an
interest  rate of 6.75%.  This term loan is  classified as long term debt with a
current portion equal to twelve months of principal payments.

On March 7, 1997,  the Company  raised its first  significant  equity  financing
since 1987,  for  $2,000,000,  net  $1,958,147  (for  detail on specific  terms,
referred to Note I to the Financial  Statements in Form 10K).  The importance of
this  financing  is that it allows the Company to pursue its growth  goals.  The
Company will use the  financing for new product  introduction  and to expand its
sales and marketing coverage.

The major risk to the  Company is the timing of sales  following  the  Company's
sales promotional campaigns. Generally there is a six month sales cycle, but the
sales  cycles can lengthen  due to economic  conditions.  Should the sales cycle
become too long,  the Company does not have the  financial  resources to sustain
the sales and  marketing  plans and would have to cut back on its  marketing and
sales efforts.

If the Company has to repay some of the short term maturing  debt, it will loose
a  substantial  portion of its  financial  resources to pursue its growth plans.
Whereas  there is every  reason to believe  that the Company can  refinance  its
maturing debt, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so.

The Company will continue to manage  within its financial  resources and attempt
to balance its working  capital needs with cash flow generated  from  operations
and available  current  financing.  The Company will continue to seek additional
financing to fully exploit its sales and marketing potential. The Company cannot
be certain that it will be successful in efforts to raise additional funds.
