                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



          To the Shareholder
          Spectra Precision Credit Corp.
          Dayton, Ohio

          We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Spectra
          Precision  Credit Corp.  (f. k. a.  Spectra-Physics  Credit Corp.) and
          Subsidiary  (the  Company) as of December  31,  1997,  and the related
          consolidated  statement of income, changes in shareholder's equity and
          cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
          responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to
          express an opinion on these financial  statements based on our audits.
          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
          standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
          to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements
          are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a
          test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the
          financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
          principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as well
          as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
          that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred to
          above  present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  consolidated
          financial position of Spectra Precision Credit Corp. and Subsidiary as
          of   December  31,  1997,  and  the  consolidated   results  of  their
          operations  and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
          with generally accepted accounting principles.

  SPECTRA PRECISION CREDIT CORP.
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  for the year ended December 31, 1997


1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

        The  following  is a  summary  of the  significant  accounting  policies
        followed in the preparation of the financial statements:

        a. Operations:

           Spectra  Precision  Credit Corp.,  formerly known as  Spectra-Physics
           Credit Corp., (the "Company") is a wholly owned finance subsidiary of
           Spectra-Physics  USA, Inc. Prior to becoming a separate subsidiary on
           January  1,  1996,  the  Company  had  been  a  division  of  Spectra
           Precision, Inc. (formerly known as Spectra-Physics Laserplane,  Inc.)
           since  1988.  The  Company   provides   financing  of   agricultural,
           construction,  professional  surveying and other industrial machinery
           and equipment.  The equipment is manufactured  by Spectra  Precision,
           Inc., Spectra Precision Surveying, Inc. (formerly known as Geotronics
           of North America,  Inc.), Spectra Precision of Canada, Ltd. (formerly
           known as  Geodimeter  of Canada  Ltd.) and  other  non-related  party
           companies and sold through  various dealer  locations  throughout the
           United  States and Canada.  The Company  also  provides  customer and
           dealer financing for various business purposes.

           The  organization  of this  entity was the  result  of a  transfer of
           assets and  liabilities  from  Spectra  Precision,  Inc.  to Spectra-
           Physics  USA, Inc.,  via a dividend.  Spectra-Physics USA, Inc.  then
           transferred  the assets and liabilities  to Spectra  Precision Credit
           Corp. in exchange for 100 percent of the common stock of the Company.

        b. Consolidation:

           The 1997  financial  statements  are  consolidated  statements  which
           include the  Company's  wholly  owned  subsidiary  Spectra  Precision
           Funding  Corporation (SPFC).  Established  December 30, 1997,  SPFC's
           sole business purpose is to  purchase lease  receivables from Spectra
           Precision Credit Corp. and sell  them to major financial institutions
           through the agreement  disclosed in Note 5.  The organization of this
           entity was  the result of a  transfer  of the assets and  liabilities
           related to  the existing lease  receivables of the Company to Spectra
           Precision  Funding  Corp.  in exchange for  100 percent of the common
           stock of SPFC. All intercompany transactions  have been eliminated in
           these financial statements.

        c. New Accounting Standard:

           The Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
           125,  "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
           Extinguishment  of  Liabilities"  (SFAS 125) on January 1, 1997. SFAS
           125 applies a control  oriented  approach to financial asset transfer
           transactions  whereby the Company (1)  derecognizes  financial assets
           when  control  has  been  surrendered,  (2)  recognizes  any  related
           servicing  assets or liabilities,  and (3)  derecognizes  liabilities
           once they are  extinguished.  Under SFAS 125, the Company  surrenders
           control over

  SPECTRA PRECISION CREDIT CORP.
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
  for the year ended December 31, 1997


           its  financial   assets  and  recognizes  a  sale  only  if  (1)  the
           transferred assets are isolated from the Company, even in bankruptcy,
           (2) the transferee  obtains the rights in the transferred  assets, or
           is a qualifying  special  purpose entity and (3) the Company does not
           maintain  effective  control of the assets through an agreement which
           obligates it to repurchase the transferred  assets prior to maturity.
           If any of the  previous  conditions  are not met,  the  Company  must
           account for the transfer as a secured borrowing. The Company does not
           meet all of the above  conditions  and  accordingly  accounts for all
           lease  receivable  assignments  (as  described in Note 5), as secured
           borrowings in these financial statements.

           In years  prior to 1997,  the Company  had  recorded  the above noted
           financial  asset  transfers  as  sales.  However,  as a result of the
           issuance  of SFAS  125  and the  amendment  of the  lease  receivable
           sale/purchasing  agreement (see Note 5), the Company is recording the
           transfers  of lease  receivables  as  secured  borrowings  (as  noted
           above).  These  financial  statements  present all lease  receivables
           transferred to the financial  institutions  as assets of the Company.
           These lease  receivables  include  transfers  originated  in 1997 and
           remaining lease receivables that were treated as sales in years prior
           to 1997 under previous agreements. Accounting for revenue deferred in
           prior years under sales of lease  receivables  remains  unchanged  in
           these financial statements.

        d. Recognition of Income:

           Lease  earnings and residual  income on finance leases are recognized
           over the term of the  contract  at a  constant  rate of return on the
           outstanding  net  investment.  Fee income (other  revenues),  such as
           lease documentation fees, surcharge fees,  delinquency fees and laser
           protection fees, is recognized only when received.

        e. Cash and Cash Equivalents:

           Cash and cash  equivalents  include  cash on deposit  with a bank and
           highly liquid short-term  investments with maturities of three months
           or less from the date of purchase.

        f. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

           The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible  lease and other
           receivables   based  on  estimated   collectibility   and  collection
           experience.  Uncollectible  lease receivable balances are written off
           against  the  allowance  when  the  receivable  ages  120 days or the
           underlying collateral is repossessed.

        g. Equipment Off Lease:

           The Company  records its  equipment off lease at the lower of cost or
           estimated fair market value at the time of recovery.  Depreciation is
           provided over a six-month period using the straight line method.

        h. Capital Assets:

           Capital assets are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided over
           the useful lives of the assets using the straight line method.

        i. Income Taxes:

           The  Company  has a tax  allocation  agreement  with  Spectra-Physics
           Holdings USA,  Inc. in which the Company pays its allocated  share of
           any  consolidated  U.S.  income  tax  liability  or  receives  credit
           applicable  to any period  for which the  Company  is  included  as a
           member of the consolidated group.

        j. Foreign Currency Translation:

           Foreign  currency  transactions  that are of a  long-term  investment
           nature are converted  into the Company's  functional  currency at the
           current and average  exchange rates.  The effects of the transitional
           adjustments  associated  with these  transactions  are  reported as a
           separate component of shareholder's equity entitled "Foreign currency
           translation adjustment."

        k. Use of Estimates:

           The preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
           accepted accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
           and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
           liabilities and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during
           the  reporting  periods.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  those
           estimates.

                                                       ============

        Finance  lease  receivables are transferred without recourse, except for
        the Company's escrow requirement of 10 percent  of the  purchaser's  net
        investment,   to  major  financial  institutions  on  a  monthly  basis.
        Receivables  may be  refinanced or repaid by customers  without  penalty

4.      Concentration of Credit Risk:

        The  Company's   receivables  are  the  direct  result  of  its  leasing
        transactions with customers in construction,  agricultural, professional
        surveying  and  industrial-related  industries.  The  Company  generally
        maintains a  collateralized  interest in the equipment  financed and the
        majority of its business  activity is with customers  located within the
        United States.

5.      Assignment of Receivables:

        The Company  has entered  into a lease  receivable  sale/purchasing  and
        service  agreement with its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Spectra Precision
        Funding  Corporation (SPFC).  The lease receivables are transferred on a
        monthly basis  net of security  deposits received by the Company and any
        unearned income related  to the receivables, in exchange for cash.  SPFC
        has entered into a lease receivable sale/purchasing agreement with major
        financial  institutions  (lenders),  expiring July 30, 1998. The Company
        has been appointed  servicer of the lease  receivables.  Both agreements
        are without recourse except for the Company's escrow  requirement of 10%
        of the  funded  amount.  The  lender's  net  investment  was  limited to
        $50,000,000 at any time  ($2,000,000 for equipment  located in the U.K.)
        during 1997 and was $29,169,625 at December 31, 1997.

6.      Financial Instruments:

        In order to effectively  manage the exposure  related to that portion of
        the Company's  portfolio where rate,  term and  transaction  size create
        possible  interest rate risk, the Company purchased an interest rate cap
        effective December 23, 1996. This financial instrument, also known as an
        interest rate derivative,  was not purchased for trading purposes but to
        enable the  Company to  effectively  manage its  exposure  to changes in
        interest  rates.  As with any  financial  instrument,  derivatives  have
        inherent  risk.  Market  risk is the risk of gains  or  losses  that may
        result  from  changes in interest  rates.  These gains and losses may be
        offset by other on- or off-  balance  sheet  transactions.  The  Company
        marked to market its  interest  rate cap  agreements  as of December 31,
        1997,  recording any gains or losses as adjustments to other revenues or
        other expenses.

        The cap  allows  the  Company  to convert  variable  rate  funding  into
        synthetic  fixed rate  financing.  The  agreement is entered into with a
        major financial institution and its terms are as follows:

              Financial            Notational       Strike          Life
              Instrument             Amount          Rate         (Years)
           30 day LIBOR cap     $  6,500,000         6.5%            4

7.      NONRECOURSE DEBT PAYABLE:

        Nonrecourse  debt,  which relates to direct finance  leases  permanently
        funded  through the  agreement  disclosed  in Note 5, bears  interest at
        LIBOR plus ninety-five  basis points.  Maturities of such obligations at
        December 31, 1997 are as follows:

        Current tax provision is the amount of income taxes reported or expected
        to be reported on the Company's tax  return.  Income  taxes paid in 1997
        totaled $574,216.

        Variances  between  accounting  rules and tax laws result in differences
        between  the tax  bases of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  and their
        reported amounts in the financial statements.  The temporary tax effects
        of these differences are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities
        and consisted of the following at December 31, 1997:

  for the year ended December 31, 1997


            Current deferred tax assets:
               Allowance for doubtful accounts              $ 168,510
               Property tax reserve                             5,057
                                                              -------
                                                            $ 173,567
                                                            =========

        No  valuation  allowance  for  the  Company's  deferred  tax  assets was
        required at December  31, 1997  because  in the opinion  of  management,
        these deferred tax assets will be realized through future profitability.

9.      Related Party Transactions:

        a.  Recourse:

            Certain finance  contracts do not qualify under the Company's normal
            credit  underwriting  policies.  In order to induce  the  Company to
            extend  facilities,   Spectra  Precision  Surveying,  Inc.,  Spectra
            Precision  of Canada,  Ltd.  and  Spectra  Precision,  Inc.  provide
            recourse.  Although there are master  recourse  agreements in place,
            each  individual  credit is reviewed  and  specific  agreements  are
            periodically  written  to  determine  the exact  amount  and term of
            recourse. At December 31, 1997,  approximately thirty-two percent of
            the outstanding finance receivables were covered by such recourse.

        b.  Funding of Receivables:

            The  Company  has  entered  into a  lease  receivable  sale/purchase
            agreement   with   Spectra   Precision   Credit   Ltd.,    (formerly
            Spectra-Physics Leasing Ltd., ("SPCL").  Through this agreement, the
            Company  purchases the lease  receivables of SPCL on a monthly basis
            and sells them to major financial institutions through the agreement
            disclosed  in Note 5. The cost of funds  charged to SPCL is equal to
            that paid by the Company plus any administrative  costs incurred and
            the forfeited  interest resulting from the additional escrow funding
            requirements.

        c.  Other Transactions:

            The employees of the Company participate in various plans of Spectra
            Precision,  Inc. Such plans include medical,  flexible  spending and
            401(k) plans.  Certain business expenses,  including employee fringe
            benefits,  are allocated to the Company by Spectra  Precision,  Inc.
            These  expenses  totaled  $928,988 for 1997.  Commencing  January 1,
            1997,  a facilities  allocation  fee of $3,000 per month was paid by
            the Company to Spectra Precision, Inc.
