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 Auto Photo Systems, Inc. ("APS") and form a new company, Image Dynamics LLC
("Image Dynamics"). The Company contributed all operating assets. The basis of
the investment was the historical cost of assets contributed less long-term debt
assumed by Image Dynamics. No gain or loss was recorded on the transaction. The
following schedule details the components of the initial investment in Image
Dynamics:

   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 eight months ended March
31, 1998 in its Statement of Operations for the nine months ended March 31,
1998. 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.

                     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 did
not join Image Dynamics. 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 eight months of operations, the management focused on
consolidation of service routes and relocation of operations to Texas. Because
of severance payments and certain other non-recurring cost the full benefit of
major cost reductions was not achieved until March 1998. Image Dynamics'
strategy is to reduce its site and route expenses by increasing the density of
and upgrading operating equipment. In this regard, 130 photo sticker machines
were installed in late December 1997. In addition, 50 color video foto booths
were installed in March and April 1998. This new equipment should have a
positive impact on the financial results of Image Dynamics.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The statement of operations for the 1998 period includes revenue and cost
of services for the month of July 1997 only. For the months of August 1997
through March 1998 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 nine month period ended March 31, 1997 for revenues, cost of
booth services and selling general and administrative expenses is not
meaningful.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, Image Dynamics incurred a net
loss of approximately $1,100,000. This loss was primarily caused by a 10%
decline in revenues as a result of fewer operating booths from the same period
in 1997. In April 1998 Image Dynamics implemented a plan to increase the number
of operating booths through the installation of new and refurbished photo booths
at mall locations. Revenue from these new installations and from seasonal theme
parks is expected to significantly reduce the loss for the three months ended
June 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company received cash
advances from Image Dynamics of approximately $60,000 to settle obligations.
Until Image Dynamics achieves profitability, no significant amount of funds will
be available to the Company.
