                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       (Information for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 is unaudited)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements presented are those of Laser
Technology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Laser Communications, Inc.,
Laser Technology, U.S.V.I., and International Measurement and Control Company.
Laser Technology, Inc. is presently engaged in the business of developing,
manufacturing and marketing laser based measurement instruments.

     In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements reflect
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary for a
fair presentation of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three
and nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, (b) the consolidated
financial position at June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, and (c) the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine month periods ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, and (d) the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for
the nine month period ended June 30, 1997.  The accounting policies followed by
the Company are set forth in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.  The results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Effective May 30, 1997, Laser Technology, Inc, an Idaho corporation ("Laser
Technology-Idaho"), was merged into a newly formed subsidiary, Laser Technology,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Laser Technology-Delaware"), with Laser
Technology-Idaho ceasing to exist, for the principal purposes of (a) changing
the corporate domicile of the Company from the State of Idaho to Delaware, and
(b) to adopt certain changes to the Company's corporate charter.  The
transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and the merger did not
involve any change in the business, properties, management or capital structure
of the Company.  Laser Technology-Delaware had no operations prior to the
merger.  Stockholders of Laser Technology-Delaware received the same number of
shares of common stock as previously held in Laser Technology-Idaho.

     Preferred Stock

     Laser Technology-Delaware is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of
preferred stock by action of the Company's Board of Directors.  The Board of
Directors is authorized, without further action by stockholders, to determine
the voting rights, dividend rights, dividend rates, liquidation preferences,
redemption provisions, conversion or exchange rights and other rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of any unissued series of preferred
stock and the number of shares constituting such series.  The Company has no
current plans to issue any preferred stock.

     Treasury Stock

     (a) In connection with the Company's merger into Delaware, stockholders
objecting to the proposed merger were entitled to the right to dissent and
appraisal rights of stockholders as allowed by Idaho law.  Upon completion of
the merger, the Company purchased the dissenting stockholders stock.
Cumulatively,  nine shareholders, representing 1,082 shares of the Company's
common stock, exercised their right to dissent and received $3,922 in total
which has been recorded as Treasury Stock.

     (b) In April 1997, 120,000 shares of common stock were issued to three
employees, at $3.00 per share, under a cashless exercise of unqualified options
previously granted in April 1992.  Concurrent with the exercise of these options
such shares were purchased by the Company at fair market value and recorded as
Treasury Stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


    Net sales for the third quarter ended June 30, 1997 ("1997") increased 21%
to $1,996,728 from $1,645,724 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 ("1996").
Traffic Safety sales in the 1997 third quarter remained consistent with prior
year levels.  Sales of the Company's Survey and Mapping products increased 41%
due to the introduction of the Company's second generation Impulse line of
survey products.

    Revenues for first nine months of 1997 were $6,335,002 compared to
$6,396,571 for the first nine months of 1996, representing a 1% decrease in
sales.  Decreased volume sales of the Company's DAS100 ship docking aid sensors
were offset by increased Survey and Mapping sales.   DAS100 sales for the first
nine months of 1997 were $252,596 compared to $763,930 realized during the
comparable 1996 period.  Management expects that sales of its DAS100 will
greatly fluctuate between financial periods due to the specialized nature of the
system.  Survey and Mapping sales improved 29% to $3,037,681 in 1997 from
$2,362,578 in 1996 due to increased sales of the Company's Impulse, introduced
in the 1996 fourth quarter.  Additionally, sales of the Company's industrial
laser sensors also introduced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 contributed
$205,446 in revenues in 1997.

    Traffic Safety sales were $2,839,279 for the first nine months of 1997
compared to $3,174,098 for the first nine months of 1996, representing a 11%
decrease in sales from the previous year, primarily the result of slower
international sales.  During the 1997 third quarter, the Company introduced the
UltraLyte, a second generation laser speed detection device.  Management
believes that Traffic Safety sales have not yet benefitted from second
generation products such as the UltraLyte and believes that sales of the
Company's Traffic Safety products should improve as the Company begins shipping
the UltraLyte in the 1997 fourth quarter.

    International sales comprised 44% and 41% of net sales for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1997 as compared to 49% and 42% for the corresponding
1996 periods.  Historically, the Company experiences quarterly fluctuations in
foreign sales due to the placement of typically large orders for the Company's
Traffic Safety products.  Foreign sales of the Company's products are expected
to continue to comprise a significant portion of its revenues.

    Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 57% and 56% for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1997, compared to 55% and 56% for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1996.  The Company realized improved gross
profit margins during the 1997 third quarter due to higher gross profit margins
realized on sales from the Company's second generation products, primarily from
sales of the Company's Impulse, designed with reduced manufacturing costs and
greater production efficiency.  As the Company begins shipping its second
generation UltraLyte, gross profit margins are expected to continue to improve.

    Total operating expenses increased approximately 36% to $1,364,654 for the
third quarter of 1997 from $1,001,129 for the comparable 1996 period, and
approximately 27% to $3,775,513 for the first nine months of 1997 compared to
$2,957,152, for the first nine months of 1996.  As a percentage of net sales,
total operating expenses rose to 68% for the third quarter of 1997 from 61% for
the third quarter of 1996, and to 59% for the first nine months of 1997 from 46%
for the first nine months of 1996.  Increased operating expenses in the 1997
third quarter primarily relate to the Company's increased distribution efforts
and consultant fees related to the implementation of the Company's newly
integrated JD Edwards business software package. Year to year increases relate
primarily to the costs associated with building a direct sales force centered
around the Company's domestic Traffic Safety business including increased
compensation expense, and higher advertising and travel expenses related to
accelerated marketing efforts over the previous year.  The Company anticipates
that operating expenses will continue to increase to support the Company's
continued growth as the Company's sales increase.

    Royalty income primarily related to the Company's agreement with Bushnell on
sales of the Yardage Pro series of laser range finders marketed by Bushnell
increased 88% to $191,227 in the 1997 third quarter from $101,853 realized in
the 1996 third quarter.  On a year to year basis, royalties have increased 112%
to $453,284 in 1997 from $213,929 in 1996.  Management believes that royalty
income received from its current licensing arrangements related to the Company's
proprietary technology will continue to positively impact the Company's results
of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


    The Company experienced a loss from operations of $29,510 for the 1997 third
quarter compared to $1,722 for the 1996 third quarter.  Royalties received from
Bushnell partially offset the increase in operating expenses in the 1997 period.
Combined with income earned on investments, the Company realized income before
taxes on income of $11,899 for the 1997 third quarter compared to income before
taxes on income of $48,952 for the comparable 1996 period.  After taxes on
income, the Company realized net income of $7,899, or break even per share, for
the 1997 third quarter, compared to $35,952, or $.01 per share, for the 1996
third quarter.  When combined with net income from the first half of 1997, the
Company realized net income of $227,706 for the first nine months of 1997, or
$.04 per share, as compared with net income of $640,099 or $.12 per share, for
the first nine months of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    As June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $7,526,400.  The
Company's working capital is expected to adequately meet the Company's need for
at least the next twelve months.

    For the nine month period ended June 30, 1997, cash provided by operating
activities of $147,588 was primarily attributable to net income of $227,706 for
the period combined with a decrease of $299,796 in accounts receivable of which
$289,267 was used to decrease accounts payable and accrued expenses and $150,008
was used to increase other assets.  Cash used in investing activities of
$1,061,592 related to the reinvestment of unused cash reserves of $645,448 and
$326,670 was used for the purchase of property and equipment and leasehold
improvements related to the expansion of the Company's facilities.  Cash used in
financing activities of $123,922 related primarily to the purchase of shares of
the Company's common stock, recorded at cost.  Cash and cash equivalents
decreased $1,037,926 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1997.

    For the nine month period ended June 30, 1996, cash provided by operating
activities was $570,465.  Net income of $640,099 combined with a decrease of
$136,715 in trade accounts receivable and an increase of $391,315 in accounts
payable and accrued expenses was used primarily to expand inventory by $519,606
and $224,442 was used to finance an increase in other assets.  Cash provided by
investing activities of $93,969 resulted from proceeds from the sale of
marketable securities of which $411,534 was used for the purchase of property
and equipment.  Cash provided by financing activities of $39,971 resulted from
proceeds received from the exercise of employee options pursuant to the
Company's Equity Incentive Plan.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $704,225
for the 1996 period.

    During the 1997 fiscal year, the Company has expanded its facilities
pursuant to the Company's rights for additional expansion space under its
current lease agreements to provide additional office and production space.
Additionally, the Company has expended capital to fully integrate and automate
its information systems management and accounting software in preparation of
future growth.  The Company believes that its current and planned facilities are
adequate to meet the Company's needs throughout the foreseeable future, and,
that the capital invested to expand its facilities and resources will not have a
material impact on the Company's current working capital or results of
operations.

OTHER

    Management believes that the Company's business centered around its Traffic
Safety product line is not seasonal in nature.  However, due to fiscal budgeting
practices of foreign and domestic law enforcement agencies, sales of the
Company's Traffic Safety products may vary between financial periods.
Historically, the Company has realized a small decline in sales of its Survey
and Mapping products in areas affected by colder weather in the winter months.
Management believes that the expansion of the Company's Survey and Mapping
product line and penetration into new markets has mitigated seasonal effects on
sales of this business segment.  Additionally, due to the sophisticated nature
of the Company's DAS100 ship docking aid systems, Management expects sales of
these systems to greatly fluctuate between financial periods.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS
No. 128).  This pronouncement provides a different method of calculating

 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONCLUDED)


earnings per share than previously provided under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APB) No. 15, "Earnings Per Share.  SFAS 128 provides for the
calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share.  Basic earnings per
share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of
securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar to fully
diluted earnings per share.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 in fiscal 1998
and its implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
