1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Organization

     IRATA, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated March 20, 1992 under the
laws of the State of Texas, for the purpose of acquiring and operating Video
Foto booths ("Booths") throughout the United States at shopping malls, theme
parks, discount stores and other areas of high traffic. The Booths produce a
black & white computer generated, laser printed image superimposed on a variety
of background options.

     The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and
regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the interim periods covered and for the financial
condition of the Company at the date of the interim balance sheet. All such
adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed herein) are of a normal recurring
nature. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the year.

   Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue as products and services are provided.
Location owners where booths are sited are paid a fixed rental, percentage of
net revenues or a combination thereof, which is recorded as site rent. The
independent service contractor is also paid a fixed commission,a percentage
based upon the net revenues generated by the Booths serviced by him, or a
combination thereof, which is recorded as route labor.

2. IMAGE DYNAMICS LLC

  General

    On August 1,1997, the Company signed an agreement to combine operations with

   Accounting Method

     The Company has elected to report its minority interest in Image Dynamics
under the equity method. Based on a valuation formula, the Company has included
26% of the net loss reported by Image Dynamics for the two months ended
September 30, 1997 in its Statement of Operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The value of the investment account has been reduced
accordingly. Audited financial statements of Image Dynamics will be prepared as
of April 30, 1998 and for the nine month period then ended.

directors to $.125 per share which was the market price at that date.


4. Executive Bonus

     On July 31, 1997, the Board of Directors awarded bonuses to the Company's
president and chief financial officer in the amounts of $140,000 and $39,000,
respectively. The president was granted the right to receive up to $100,000 of
this bonus in Class A Common Stock and the chief financial officer up to $15,000
of this bonus in Class A Common Stock. The market price at this date, which was
$.125 per share, will be used to compute the number of shares to be issued.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and is qualified in its entirety by
the foregoing and by other more detailed financial information appearing
elsewhere.

     As of August 1, 1997, the operations of the Company were transferred to
Image Dynamics and combined with the operations of Auto Photo Systems, Inc
("APS"). The president and chief financial officer of the Company assumed
similar positions with Image Dynamics. Several key managers with APS, including
regional operation managers and marketing personnel took positions with Image
Dynamics. Two APS executives and the Executive Vice President of the Company
resigned as of August 1, 1997. Image Dynamics currently has approximately 100
fulltime employees. The Company has closed its office in Houston and has
relocated approximately 10 employees to the former APS manufacturing facility
near Dallas which is now the corporate office and manufacturing facility for
Image Dynamics. APS has closed its former corporate office in Tustin,
California. Image Dynamics has regional support offices in California, Dallas,
Florida, Chicago and New York City.

     During the first two months of operations, the management focused on
consolidation of service routes and relocation of operations to Texas. The full
benefit of cost reductions will not be achieved until later in the year. Image
Dynamics' strategy is to reduce its site and route expenses by increasing the
density of operating equipment. In this regard, management is investigating new
equipment to complement photo booths.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The statement of operations for the 1997 period includes revenue and cost
of services for the month of July 1997 only. For the months of August and
September 1997 all revenue, related operating expenses and interest expense on
long-term debt were recorded on the books of Image Dynamics. As a result, a
comparison with the three month period ended September 30, 1996 for revenues,
cost of booth services and selling general and administrative expenses is not
meaningful.

     For the month of July 1997 the Company incurred a net loss of approximately
$150,000. For the months of August and September 1997, the Company reported a
loss of $100,000 representing its 26% interest in the results of Image Dynamics.
The combined loss of appoximately $250,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997 compares favorably to the net loss of $365,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996. In addition to the loss from ongoing operations of
$250,000 in 1997, the Company had non-recurring expenses of $180,000 in bonuses
to executives and $70,000 in severance and other shutdown expenses for its
Houston office. Lastly, the Company will continue to incur quarterly expenses of
approximately $70,000 in amortization of financing costs and $20,000 for
professional fees related to public company filing and reporting expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

     During September the Company received cash advances to settle all current
obligations to creditors. A large percentage of the remaining obligations of the
Company are not currently due or are disputed. The Company believes that Image
Dynamics will continue to transfer funds to settle obligations when due.
