LASER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Information for the three months ended December 31, 1998 is unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. 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
month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, (b) the consolidated financial
position at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, and (c) the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the three month periods ended December 31, 1998 and
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, 1998. The results of operations for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
b. Earnings Per Share
Through December 31, 1997, the Company followed the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") 15, "Earnings Per Share." Effective
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company implemented Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No.
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 stockholders 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 that were
outstanding for the period, similar to fully diluted earnings per share. All
prior period earnings per share data has been restated to reflect the
requirements of SFAS No. 128. For the period ended December 31, 1998, since
the halt in trading of the Company's common stock by the American Stock Exchange
as of December 23, 1998, market values as of the last trading date have been
used to calculate diluted earnings per share.
c. Operating Segments
The Company's primary operating segments for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

d. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 129 "Disclosures of Information About an
Entity's Capital Structure." SFAS No. 128 provides a different method of
calculating earnings per share than was previously used in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 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. SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an
entity's capital structure. SFAS No. 128 and SFAS No. 129 are effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. In
fiscal 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 and No. 129, both of which did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has also SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated
balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity
except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required
to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that displays with the
same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS No. 131 supersedes SFAS No.
14 "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS No. 131
establishes standards on the way that public companies report financial
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial
statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosure
regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No.
131 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The implementation of SFAS No. 130 and 131 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about pensions and other Postretirement Benefits" which standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other Postretirement benefits and
requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair
values of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis. SFAS No. 132 is
effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires comparative
information for earlier years to be restated, unless such information is not
readily available. The implementation of these accounting pronouncements had no
material impact on the Company's financial
8
<PAGE>
statements.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" which requires companies to record
derivatives as assets or liabilities, measured at fair market value. Gains or
losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be
accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies
for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the
hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in
fair value or cash flows. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes the adoption of
this statement will have no material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

Net sales for the first quarter ended December 31, 1998 ("1998") rose 10%
to $2,656,700 from $2,412,351 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1997
("1997"). Traffic Safety sales increased 14% in 1998 as compared to 1997 due to
increased volume sales of the Company's second generation UltraLyte. Increased
UltraLyte sales offset lower Traffic Safety sales of the Company's Marksman as
the UltraLyte further penetrated the Company's Traffic Safety market. Management
expects the UltraLyte to replace the Marksman, for the most part, once the
majority of foreign approvals related to the UltraLyte are completed. Survey
and Mapping sales grew 31% in 1998 as compared to 1997. Sales of the Company's
Criterion decreased, as expected, due to increased sales of the Company's second
generation Impulse. International sales comprised 42% of sales in 1998 as
compared to 46% in 1997, the result of stronger domestic sales of the Company's
products realized in 1998, including sales of the Company's recently introduced
MapStar compass modules. Management anticipates that foreign sales of the
Company's products will continue to comprise a significant portion of its
revenues.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 54% in 1998 as compared to 56% in
1997. The decrease in gross profit margin for the 1998 period resulted from
lower gross margins on sales of the Company's first generation products,
primarily the Marksman. As sales of the Company's UltraLyte, part of the
Company's Traffic Safety product line, replace sales of the Company's Marksman,
gross profit margins are expected to improve. The Company continues to minimize
the effect of currency fluctuations by requiring payment in U.S. funds.
Royalty and licensing income from the Company's licensees was $242,939 in
1998 compared to $346,946 in 1997, representing approximately a 43% decrease in
royalty and licensing income from the previous year. Management believes that
the primary licensee of the Company's technology, Bushnell, experienced short-
term competitive pressure during the 1998 period due to competitors within the
sports optics market selling competitive products at reduced prices to deplete
inventories of discontinued product. Bushnell has recently introduced several
new range-finder products in co-operative development with the Company.
Management believes that royalty income related to the Company's various
licensing agreements will continue to have a positive impact on the Company's
results of operations.
Total operating expenses rose approximately 30% in 1998 to $1,795,740 from
$1,377,671 realized in the comparable 1997 period. The year to year increase in
total operating expenses primarily relates to increased compensation expense due
to increased personnel, and higher legal and accounting fees related to an
extraordinary audit investigation conducted by the Special Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors during the 1998 first quarter. As a result of
higher expenses in 1998, as a percentage of net sales, the Company's total
operating expenses were 68% in 1998 as compared to 57% in 1997.
Due to lower royalty and licensing income and increased operating expenses
in 1998, the Company realized a loss from operations of $122,037 in 1998
compared to income from operations of $312,803 realized in 1997. After taxes on
income or benefit, of $121,000 and $40,800 for 1997 and 1998, respectively, the
Company recorded a net loss of $72,536, or $.01 per basic share, in 1998
compared to net income of $235,075, or $.05 per basic share, realized in 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $8,344,200. The
Company's present working capital is expected to adequately meet the Company's
needs for at least the next twelve months.
For the three month period ended December 31, 1998, cash provided by
operating activities was $189,664. A decrease in accounts receivable of $806,241
offset a loss from operations of $72,536 and financed an increase in inventories
of $402,999 and reduced accounts payable and accrued expenses by $389,094. Net
cash used in investing activities of $126,506 was primarily used for the
purchase of property and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities of
$18,540 was used to reduce long-term debt. For the three month period ended
December 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents increased $44,618.
For the three month period ended December 31, 1997, cash provided by
operating activities was $564,011. Net income of $235,075 combined with a
decrease in accounts receivable of $769,954 financed an inventory expansion of
$232,457 and reduced accounts payable and accrued expenses by $275,259. Of the
net cash used in investing activities of $116,013, $86,574 was used for
equipment acquisitions and certain patent costs. For the three month period
ended December 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents increased $447,998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Concluded)
Year 2000 Compliance
During the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company converted its
computer systems to be year 2000 compliant (e.g., to recognize the difference
between '99 and '00 as one year instead of negative 99 years). Management
believes that the majority of the Company's updated computer system is Year 2000
compliant for both information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems. The
Company continues to evaluate Year 2000 compliance and does not anticipate any
material expenditures related to the conversion process.
The Company also continues to evaluate whether it will have Year 2000
issues related to any third parties with which it has or may have a material
relationship. Management believes that most, if not all third parties with
which the Company has a material relationship, are, or will be Year 2000
compliant. The Company does not anticipate any material expenditures related to
Year 2000 compliance by any third party.
Risk Factors and Cautionary Statements
Forward-looking statements within this report are made pursuant to the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company
wishes to advise readers that actual results may differ substantially from such

uncertainties including, but not limited to, continued acceptance of the
Company's products in the market place, competitive factors, potential changes

uncertainties detailed in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On February 10, 1999 a securities class action entitled Moshe Rosenfeld, On
Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated, vs. Laser Technology, Inc.,
David Williams, Pamela Sevy, Dan H. Grothe and H. DeWorth Williams, was filed
in the United States District Court, District of Colorado (Case no. 99-Z-266).
The Complaint alleges that the Company and certain of its officers and directors
violated federal securities laws, particularly Sections 10(b) and 20 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). Specifically, the
complaint alleges that the Company's financial statements were false and
misleading during the "class period" (February 12, 1996 to December 23, 1998)
and that the Company made certain false or misleading statements regarding the
Company's financial statements during this period.
The action appears to have followed and be premised on the resignation of
the Company's independent accountant, BDO Seidman, LLP ("BDO"), on December 21,
1999, and the resignation of three members of the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors. The resigning members of the Audit Committee were members of the
Special Audit Committee (the "Special Committee"), who also resigned from the
Board of Directors on January 7, 1999 as a result of disagreements between
management and the Special Committee. BDO also withdrew its opinions on the
previously issued certified financial statements for the fiscal years 1993,
1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997. At the time of BDO's resignation, the Special
Committee was conducting an independent investigation into the Company's
accounting records and alleged irregularities relating to the Company's
accounting records. Following the announcement of the resignation of BDO and
withdrawl of five years of audited financial statements, the American Stock
Exchange suspended trading in the Company's shares on December 23, 1998.
On January 7, 1999, a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors (the
"Special Meeting") was held for the purpose of receiving the report and
recommendations from the Special Committee. At the Special Meeting, the Special
Committee made several proposals including, but not limited to, asking for the
resignation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
11
<PAGE>
Financial Officer. Following the presentation by the Special Committee of its
findings and proposed actions, those directors not serving on the Special
Committee made a counter proposal. Without responding to the counter-proposal,
the individuals on the Special Committee then informed the Board of Directors of
their intent to resign from the Special Committee and from the Board of
Directors.
In its complaint, the plaintiff contends that the resignation of BDO and
the three directors is due to the Company's alleged unreliable and misleading
financial statements. Plaintiff's complaint further alleges violations of
Section 10(b) of the 1934 Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
The Company has not had ample time to fully review the complaint nor to
determine the extent of any possible liability or material damage to the
Company. The Company further believes that the allegations set forth in the
complaint are groundless and without merit and it intends to vigorously defend
against the action.
The Company is aware of at least five additional class action suits that
have been filed recently against the Company. As of the date hereof, the
Company has not received a complaint in the five actions, but the Company
believes that the actions parallel the one described above. The Company intends
to vigorously defend against all of the actions.
