NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with principles of accounting applicable to a going concern. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company
believes that the consolidated financial statements for the period October 17,
1995 to March 31, 1996 include all necessary adjustments (which are of a normal
and recurring nature) and those adjustments required to adopt Fresh Start
Reporting as described below, which are considered necessary for a fair
presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995. Because of the adoption of Fresh Start
Reporting effective October 17, 1995, the Consolidated Statement of Operations
and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows are not comparable with prior periods.
Further, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not
reflect any adjustments relating to settlement of the claims of any class of
creditors that might be provided for in the Plan. Any adjustments relating to
such settlements will be recorded at such time as the Bankruptcy Court enters a
final order confirming the settlement of a disputed claim.
As discussed in Note 2 below, as of June 10, 1996, the Company had
received net proceeds of $3.46 million from the H.J. Meyers Private Placement,
including the conversion of a $300,000 bridge loan discussed below. Management
must raise additional funds to finance its ongoing operations. While management
believes it will be successful in its efforts, there are no assurances such
additional funds will be raised. No adjustments have been made to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amount and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company is
unable to continue as a going concern.
In March, 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,
which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount.
Statement No. 121 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company plans on adopting Statement No.
121 in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997. If the Company is unable to raise
additional funds, then its long-lived asset, Reorganization Value in Excess of
Identifiable Assets could be impaired.

2. Reorganization and Recapitalization
- --------------------------------------
On October 15, 1993, American Film Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
filed for protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. The Chapter 11 filing was the result of continuing defaults
related to the Company's loans, recurring operating losses and cash flow
problems. Under Chapter 11, substantially all pre-petition liabilities of
debtors are subject to settlement under a plan of reorganization and were
classified on the consolidated balance sheet as "Prepetition liabilities subject
to compromise" as of June 30, 1995. The consummation of a plan of reorganization
is dependent upon the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including, among
other things, the acceptance by several classes of interests and confirmation by
the Bankruptcy Court.
On October 6, 1995, the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court and became effective October 17, 1995 (the
"Effective Date"). Under the terms of the Plan, the following is a summary of
the treatment of each of the major classes of creditors and stockholders:

H. J. Meyers Agreement
The Plan was financed primarily from a stock purchase agreement executed
with H.J. Meyers & Co ("Meyers"). On May 3, 1995, the Company executed an
agreement with Meyers pursuant to which Meyers purchased an exclusive 90 day
option (beginning May 30, 1995) to purchase up to 51% of the Company's common
stock for $3 million. Upon approval of the Bankruptcy Court, on May 30, 1995,
Meyers paid the Company a non refundable fee of $150,000 for the option. The
agreement required Meyers to pay the $3 million to the Company upon the
Effective Date of the Company's Plan. Through a subsequent amendment to that
agreement, Meyers agreed to use its best efforts to increase the proceeds of the
offering to $4 million which would result in net proceeds of $3.48 million to
the Company. In exchange for this possible increase, the Company agreed to issue
an additional 3,800,000 shares to Meyers and its assignees. Meyers raised the
money through a private placement of the Company's common stock to "accredited
investors," as that term is defined by the Securities Act of 1933. As of October
31, 1995, the closing date for the private placement, Meyers sold subscriptions
totaling $3.46 million for the purchase of the Company's stock.
The Company agreed to grant a one-time demand and piggy back registration
right. For a period of two years from the Effective Date, (upon demand by at
least 25% of the new stockholders) the new stockholders can demand the Company

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31,1996 (UNAUDITED)
to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the reoffer and
resale of its shares (up to 38,982,508). Not withstanding the foregoing, if at
any time prior to exercise of the demand registration rights, the Company
receives a letter of intent from an underwriter for a public equity offering of
at least $5 million of the Company's securities, then the demand registration
fight shall terminate. On March 28, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of
intent with Meyers (the "Meyers Letter of Intent") under which Meyers confirmed
its interest in underwriting on a firm commitment basis a public offering of
shares of the Company's common stock. The Meyers Letter of Intent contemplates
the negotiation and execution of formal agreements relating to the proposed
offering and provides, among other things, that the Company will apply for
listing on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market and use its best reasonable efforts to
maintain such listing for not less than five years; that the Company, if
requested, obtain "key man" life insurance on the lives of designated officers
of the Company and that the Company shall have entered into a joint venture,
business alliance or business combination with an owner of content on terms
acceptable to Meyers.
To enable the Company to fund certain obligations prior to the Effective
Date, on July 28, 1995, Meyers arranged a $500,000 bridge loan to the Company
with interest at 8% plus common stock at the rate of one half share for every
dollar of bridge loan. The loans were convertible into common stock at the same
rate as the private placement to the accredited investors. On the Effective
Date, $300,000 of the bridge loan was converted into the Company's common stock
and the remaining $200,000 was repaid. The $500,000 bridge loan is included in
Class 4 - Secured Claims mentioned above.
Fresh Start Accounting (Unaudited)
Upon emergence from its Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Position No. 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("Fresh Start Reporting") as
promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in 1990.
Accordingly, all assets and liabilities have been restated to reflect their
reorganization value, which approximates their fair value at the Effective Date.
In addition, the accumulated deficit of the Company was eliminated and its
capital structure was recast in conformity with the Plan, and as such, the
Company has recorded the effects of the Plan and Fresh Start Reporting as of
October 16, 1995. The March 31, 1996 consolidated balance sheet is, therefore,
the balance sheet of a new reporting entity and is not comparable to prior
periods. Furthermore, the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the period October 17, 1995 to March 31, 1996 are
also not comparable with prior periods.
The Company estimated the fair value of the reorganized entity based on the
proceeds received from the private placement for approximately 56% of its
7

common stock which was completed on the Effective Date. While the
estimated reorganization value of the Company has been primarily allocated to
specific asset categories pursuant to Fresh Start Reporting, the effects of such
are subject to further refinement or adjustment. Current assets have been
recorded at their book value, which the Company believes approximates fair
value. Equipment, software and film library have been recorded at their
approximate fair value. Long term debt consists of pre-petition liabilities and
will be paid out subject to the terms of the Plan.
The effect of the Plan on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance
sheet at October 17, 1995 (the Effective Date) is as follows:

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------
The Company's principal business is the production of color versions of
motion pictures and television programs originally produced in black-and-white.
The Company has produced colorized films for its own library and owns the
copyrights on eleven such films. These films are available for sale and/or
distribution. Since the filing of its Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the Company has not
generated any film colorization or animation production or new fee for service
orders.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Midtech de
Mexico S.A., the Company's wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary. Due to the lack of
film coloring activity, Midtech is not currently operational. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful
lives of the underlying assets using primarily accelerated methods over a five
year period. Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable
assets is being amortized over twenty years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the lesser of a three year period or the life of the lease.
Film Library
Due to Fresh Start Reporting, the carrying value for the film library was
revalued at October 16, 1995 to reflect its fair market value. Prior to
revaluation, costs incurred in creating the film library included direct
salaries and related benefits of production personnel charged to specific
coloring projects, and allocation of overhead and costs of materials used in the
coloring process. Costs were charged to the film library using the same system
the company maintained for calculating cost of coloring films for customers. The
film library is being amortized using the individual film forecast method under
which costs of released productions are amortized in the proportion that revenue
recognized for a period bears to estimated future revenues.
Loss per Share
Loss per share has been calculated by dividing the net loss applicable to
common stock for the periods by the weighted average number of common stock
outstanding for the periods indicated. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, no
exercise of stock options was assumed because the exercise of such equivalents
would be anti-dilutive.

Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable
assets reflects the amount of the reorganized Company which could not be
allocated to any specific assets. While the estimated reorganization value of
the Company has been preliminarily allocated to specific asset categories
pursuant to Fresh Start Reporting, the effects of such are subject to further
refinement, which will cause this "reorganization value" account to be adjusted
accordingly. Furthermore, any adjustment relating to the settlement of a
disputed prepetition claim by the Bankruptcy Court will also cause this
"reorganization value" account to be adjusted accordingly. The related
amortization for the period October 17, 1995 to March 31, 1996 was $131,300.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
- --------------------------------
Taritero Claim. The Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Taritero,
sued the Company and certain of its former directors and officers in the
Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles alleging
breach of contract and fraud and seeking damages "in excess of $686,000." Mr.
Taritero and the Company had executed a three year Employment Agreement in
December 1991 and Mr. Taritero served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company
from that time until his resignation in November 1992.
The Company had no funds to defend the action and had not retained counsel to do
so, and in May 1995, a default judgment was entered against the Company for
compensatory damages of $892,000 on a breach of contract. In accordance with the
Stipulation and Order from the Bankruptcy Court, the Company agreed to a full
and final settlement with Mr. Taritero for an amount of $275,000. In accordance
with the terms of the Plan, $125,000 was paid on the Effective Date, $75,000 was
paid in April 1996 and the remaining $75,000 is to be paid in October 1996. The
Company and Mr. Taritero have executed mutual general releases each in favor of
the other. Mr. Taritero also received a compensatory damage award of $892,000
and a punitive damage award of $8,125,000 solely against the former directors
and officers of the Company for fraud.

financial conditions and results of operations included in the Company's annual

Overview and Reorganization.
- ----------------------------
On October 15, 1993, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. On
October 6, 1995, the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was approved
by the Bankruptcy Court and became effective October 17, 1995 (the "Effective
Date"). In connection with the Plan, the Company has raised $3.46 million in new
capital in exchange for the issuance of common stock representing approximately
56% if its total outstanding common stock. The Company has emerged from
bankruptcy under Fresh Start Reporting as promulgated by Statement of Position
No. 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy
Code. For a detailed discussion of the bankruptcy proceedings, see Note 1 in the
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
From the filing of the bankruptcy to October 1995, AFT was funded
principally from the conversion of all of its Series A Preferred Stock and
64,750 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock into 15,237,500 shares of Common
Stock. The conversion generated $638,000 in additional capital. In addition, Mr.
Gerald Wetzler, AFT's principal shareholder during the bankruptcy period, and
Mr. Robert Bernhard, pursuant to a debtor in possession secured lending
arrangement, in their discretion, could make available to AFT up to an aggregate
of $150,000 (the "DIP Financing""). The maximum outstanding at any time under
the DIP Financing was $122,000 in July 1995.
The Company's production facility in Tijuana, Mexico initially closed
down in October 1993 due to a strike of its employees. It currently remains
closed because the Company has not resumed operations. In June 1995, the
Company's new subsidiary, Midtech de Mexico, renegotiated the lease of its
production facility in Tijuana. Current management believes a Mexican production
facility is advantageous to the strategic plan of the Company.
Success of the Company will, among other things, depend upon the
resumption of production in Mexico. That will require reemployment of selected
former Mexican employees. Since the Mexican operation was suspended in October
1993, the Company believes most of the former employees have found other jobs.
If Midtech is unable to rehire certain former employees, it will have to recruit
11
<PAGE>
and train a new work force. That would delay the resumption of production and
increase the cost of production. As such, it could have a materially adverse
effect on the Company. Although the Company expects to benefit from the
devaluation of the peso, there is no assurance of how long those expected
benefits will last.
Since emerging from bankruptcy, the Company has actively pursued new
product development and opportunities, as well as strategic alliances and
partners. Related to those efforts, the Company has engaged the ADASAR Group,
Inc. ("Adasar"). Adasar, through its principal, Dennis Levine, has sought new
product opportunities and strategic alliances on behalf of the Company.
On March 28, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent with
Meyers (the "Meyers Letter of Intent") under which Meyers confirmed its interest
in underwriting on a firm commitment basis a public offering of shares of the
Company's common stock. The Meyers Letter of Intent contemplates the negotiation
and execution of formal agreements relating to the proposed offering and
provides, among other things, that the Company will apply for listing on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market and use its best reasonable efforts to maintain such
listing for not less than five years; that the Company, if requested, obtain
"key man" life insurance on the lives of designated executive officers of the
Company; and that the Company shall have entered into a joint venture, business
alliance or business combination with an owner of content on terms acceptable to
Meyers.
Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
Since the filing under Chapter 11 in October, 1993, the Company has not
generated any income from film colorization, animation or fee for service
orders. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and the period October 17, 1995 to
March 31, 1996, the Company generated interest income of approximately $8,000
and $23,000 respectively, which has been netted against interest expense.
Because of the adoption of Fresh Start Reporting effective October 17, 1995,
comparisons with prior periods are not comparable.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and the period October 17, 1995 to
March 31, 1996, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $486,000 and
$904,000 respectively.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, and the period October 17, 1995 to
March 31, 1996, the Company had a net loss of approximately $486,000 and
$904,000, or $0.01 cent per share in each period. The net income of
approximately $5.6 million, or $0.17 cents per share for the period October 1,
1995 to October 16, 1995 is due to the elimination of retained earnings in order
to adopt Fresh Start Reporting as promulgated by Statement of Position No. 90-7,
Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
- --------------------------------
On October 6, 1995, the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was
approved by the bankruptcy court. The Plan became effective on October 17, 1995.
In connection with this Plan, the Company completed a private placement of $3.46
million, and management of the Company has expressed its intention to raise
additional funds to finance ongoing operations. The funds raised in the private
placement, as well as the additional funds to be raised by management, are
essential for the Company to continue operations, and no assurance can be made
that such additional funds can be raised. As noted above, the Company has
entered into a Letter of Intent with H. J. Meyers & Co., Inc. for the purpose of
raising additional capital through a public offering.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
--------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------
Taritero Claim. The Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Joseph
Taritero, sued the Company and certain of its former directors and officers in
the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles
alleging breach of contract and fraud and seeking damages "in excess of
$686,000." Mr. Taritero and the Company had executed a three year Employment
Agreement in December 1991 and Mr. Taritero served as Chief Executive Officer of
the Company from that time until his resignation in November 1992.
The Company had no funds to defend the action and had not retained
counsel to do so, and in May 1995, a default judgment was entered against the
Company for compensatory damages of $892,000 on a breach of contract. In
accordance with the Stipulation and Order from the Bankruptcy Court, the Company
agreed to a full and final settlement with Mr. Taritero for an amount totaling
$275,000. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, $125,000 was paid on the
Effective Date, $75,000 was paid in April 1996 and the remaining $75,000 is to
be paid in October 1996. The Company and Mr. Taritero have executed mutual
general releases each in favor of the other. Mr. Taritero also received a
compensatory damage award of $892,000 and a punitive damage award of $8,125,000
solely against the former directors and officers of the Company for fraud.
Item 2. Changes In Securities
- -----------------------------
As a result of the Plan, all Series B, C and D preferred stock not
previously converted into common stock was canceled.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
- ---------------------------------------
None during the period. As a result of the Plan, Comerica Bank's secured
claim was repaid in November 1995. The amount of $582,193 paid to Comerica
included principal, accrued interest and reasonable legal fees.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- -----------------------------------------------------------
None.
Item 5. Other Information
- -------------------------
As a result of the Plan, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, the
Company will adopt "fresh start" accounting, which will reflect the payment or
discharge of certain debts in accordance with the Plan. "Fresh start accounting"
allows a reorganized entity to reflect its reorganization value, which
approximates its fair value at the date of reorganization. In addition, the
accumulated deficit of the Company is eliminated and its capital structure is
recast in conformity with the Plan.
In February 1996, the Company elected Larry King and Steven Lefkowitz to
its Board of Directors. Mr. King is the host of CNN's "Larry King Live" and
Mutual Radio's "Larry King Show" and is a columnist for USA Today. Mr. Lefkowitz
is founder and President of Wade Capital Corporation, founded in 1990.
