                    LASERGATE SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1997


NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND OTHER INTERNAL PRESENTATION

Interim Presentation

The interim consolidated  financial  statements of Lasergate Systems,  Inc. (the
"Company") are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements  and notes  thereto in its Form  10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1996. In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements (with all explanations  contained in these Notes ) contain
all adjustments  necessary for a fair  presentation of the results of operations
for this interim period.  Interim results are not necessarily  indicative of the
results for a full fiscal year.

Operational and Funding Matters and Reporting Basis

The information  contained in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in the
Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended  December 31,
1996  remains  current  related  to the  status  of  certain  of  the  Company's
operational  and  funding  matters  and,  accordingly,  should be referred to in
conjunction with this Form 10-QSB.

The  Company's  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles,  which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company
incurred a loss of $1,385,676 and has an accumulated  deficit of $18,168,994 and
used cash in operating activities of $1,355,899 during the first half of 1997.

In recent  years the Company has relied upon  proceeds  from  private and public
placements  and  loans  (some of which  were  converted  to stock)  from  former
principal stockholders to fund its operations.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs,  recoverability of
a major portion of the recorded  asset  amounts  shown in the Company's  balance
sheet is dependent  upon  continued  operation of the Company,  which in turn is
dependent upon the Company's  ability to succeed in its future  operations.  The
financial   statements   do  not  include  any   adjustments   relating  to  the
recoverability  and  classification  of  recorded  asset  amounts or amounts and
classification  of  liabilities  that might be  necessary  should the Company be
unable to continue in existence.

The Company is presently  seeking one or more potential  strategic  partners who
can complement the Company's  marketing and development efforts and increase its
financial  stability.  As part of any  arrangement,  the Company would require a
capital  infusion in the Company which could result in a further dilution of the
present shareholders' equity interests. Management believes this is necessary in
order to continue increasing revenue each year. Moreover,  if a capital infusion
is not made by a potential  strategic  partner,  alternative  financing  will be
required by the Company prior to year-end to even  continue  operations at their
current  level.  The ability to obtain,  as well as the costs of obtaining,  any
such capital or credit are uncertain at this time.

On March 27, 1996, the Company  commenced the Private Placement of the Company's
newly  established  Series E Preferred  Stock at $10.00 per share.  On April 22,
1996,  162,500 shares of the Series E Convertible  Preferred Stock  successfully
closed with the  Company  receiving  total  proceeds,  net of offering  costs of
$1,450,582.

On June 10, 1996, the Company  commenced a Private Placement of 8,000 shares, at
$750  per  share,  of the  Company's  newly  established  Series  F  Convertible
Preferred Stock. On June 27, 1996, the Private Placement closed with the Company
receiving $5,172,500,  net of commissions and offering expenses, for the sale of
8,000 shares of preferred stock.

On June 27,  1996 the  Company  used  $329,359  of the  proceeds of the Series F
Private Placement to repay the entire Note Payable-Related Party of $300,000 and
the interest  accrued  through that date.  In addition,  on June 28, the Company
used

                                       -6-

<PAGE>



$1,000,000  of the  proceeds  to redeem  95,950  shares of Series A  Convertible
Preferred  Stock  held  by the  same  parties.  These  shares  were  potentially
convertible into 2,636,126 shares of common stock had they not been redeemed.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues  from the sale of  equipment  and  software  licenses,  which have been
predominately  under short-term  contracts during the periods  presented herein,
are recognized  upon the acceptance of the system by the customer  provided that
no significant  vendor or post-contract  support  obligations remain outstanding
and  collection of the resulting  receivable is probable.  Revenues from special
sales sold under  evaluation  periods are  recognized at the end of this period.
Revenues  from  the sale of  equipment  and  software  licenses  with a  planned
installation  period exceeding 90 days are accounted for using the percentage of
completion method.

Revenues from post contract  customer  support and  maintenance  are  recognized
ratably over the maintenance period if collectibility is probable.

Classification of Expenses

Cost of revenues  includes the costs  associated  with the hardware and software
acquired for the Company's  customers and the estimated  direct costs associated
with the engineering  (mostly  software  customization)  and installation of the
system.  Cost of revenues also includes the estimated direct cost related to the
support and maintenance of the Company's service contracts.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The net loss per common share amount is based on the weighted  average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods.  Common stock equivalents (options
and warrants) and the effect of the convertible  securities were not included in
the calculation of net loss per share because they are antidilutive. At June 30,
1997, there were options and warrants  outstanding to purchase  2,951,067 common
shares at prices  ranging  from  $0.2391 to $5.50 per share,  and 7,945 Series F
shares which can convert into as many as 17,655,556 common shares

NOTE 2 - SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE COSTS

Historically,   the  Company  has  marketed   products  that  typically  require
substantial   customization   in  order  to  meet  the   customers'   particular
requirements.  During  1996,  the Company  changed its  strategy  and decided to
design  products in a modular  fashion.  The modules  will  consist of a primary
product with optional  pre-developed  modules and a configuration  layer to meet
specific  customer needs that would require limited or no  customization  by the
Company.  The  implementation  of this  project  will  afford  the  Company  the
opportunity to use the same development tool (high level  programming  language)
for each module,  thus providing a certain degree of consistency  and efficiency
in the product  development  process.  Accordingly,  the Company  commenced  the
development of this new product.

As of June 1997,  the Company had installed  limited  functionality  versions at
four different sites. These versions had fully functional  ticketing modules and
some additional  features,  but not all of the features  planned for the general
release  version.  As of May 13,  1997 the  Company  had  completed  the general
release version of the new general  admission product and has since installed it
at 10 sites  including  all sites which had earlier  versions.  The  development
effort was then focused on two groups of applications for the ski industry.  The
first group of ski  applications  was  released on July 1, 1997,  and the second
group of ski applications is scheduled for release on September 1, 1997.  Future
development  efforts  will  be  focused  on  a  reserved  seating  module  which
management expects to release during the fourth quarter.

As a result of this development effort and new product introduction, the Company
expects to achieve  cost  reductions  beginning in late 1997 in areas of product
development  and  customer  support.  In  addition,  the product will have a new
appearance  which is more  user  friendly  and will  allow  the user to modify a
configuration  layer  (without  access to the source  code)  which can remain in
place when  updating  the  product to a new  revision  level.  As a result,  the
Company expects its new products to be more





                                       -7-

<PAGE>



competitive in the market.

The Company estimates the cost of developing the new general admission  products
incorporating the modular concept will total approximately  $400,000 to $450,000
by the  third  quarter  of 1997.  In the  second  quarter  of 1997,  $94,000  of
development costs were incurred for the new general admission products, and this
entire amount was capitalized. Since inception, development costs incurred total
$317,000 of which $211,000 has been capitalized.

NOTE 3 -  AMORTIZATION

Amortization  Expense  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997  and 1996 was
$143,322  and  $1,343,614.  This  includes  a  write-down  at June  30,  1996 of
$1,075,000.  Because of certain strategic decisions described above, the Company
reviewed the valuation of the current  software cost in accordance  with the net
realizable value  determination  provisions under SFAS No. 86 "Computer Software
to be Sold,  Leased,  or  Otherwise  Marketed".  As a result,  a  write-down  of
$1,075,000  was  made to the  software's  carrying  value.  The  software's  net
carrying  value as adjusted of $401,060 at June 30, 1997 is expected to be fully
realized (recoverable) through future revenues.

NOTE 4 - NOTE RECEIVABLE-TRADE

In  connection  with an early sale of the  Company's  new  product,  the Company
accepted a note receivable from a customer in the amount of $144,856 with a term
of 3 years and  bearing  interest  at the rate of 10% per  annum.  Six months of
interest,  amounting  to $3,621 has been  accrued  bringing  the note balance to
$148,477.  Payments of  principal  and  interest  are to be made on December 31,
1997,  1998,  and  1999  in  the  amounts  of  $50,000,   $61,185,  and  $65,000
respectively.

NOTE 5  - PRODUCT COST LIABILITY (WARRANTY ALLOWANCE)

 Management has reviewed  warranty costs incurred within the past year, and as a
result has decided to provide for known and unknown  warranty costs by recording
a warranty  allowance at the time of sale. As of December 31, 1996,  the balance
of the warranty allowance account was a $570,919.  During the first two quarters
of 1997,  $60,929 was accrued as an  allowance,  and $97,910 was spent for these
enhancements  and  subsequently  charged  against  this  allowance.   Management
believes  the  allowance  of  $533,938  as of June  30,  1997 is a  conservative
estimate  of these costs but will  continue  to monitor  them to ensure they are
provided  for on a  current  basis in order to match  the cost  with  associated
revenue.

NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company's  founder and former  President and Chief  Executive  Officer,  has
commenced  an action  against the  Company in Florida  state  court.  The former
president alleges,  among other things,  that he was wrongfully  terminated from
his employment and seeks damages which in the aggregate could exceed $1,000,000.
The  Company  believes  that the former  president's  suit is without  merit and
intends to vigorously defend the action.  There have been no significant changes
regarding this action since the last quarter.

On or about June 27,  1997, a class  action was  commenced in the United  States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York (CV 97-3775) by Andrew Petit
and Michael A. Lepera,  on behalf of themselves  individually,  and on behalf of
all others similarly situated against inter alia, the Company,  Sterling Foster,
& Co., Inc. ("Sterling Foster"),  the Company's former underwriter,  counsel for
Sterling Foster and certain issuer  defendants for whom Sterling Foster acted as
underwriter.  The Complaint  alleges that in connection  with an offering of the
Company's securities which became effective on October 17, 1994, Sterling Foster
engaged in a campaign to inflate the price of the Company's  stock,  to create a
short position at the

                                       -8-

<PAGE>



inflated price and then cover the short  position with shares from  shareholders
who had been secretly  released from "lock-up"  agreements.  With respect to the
Company,  the Complaint  alleges that it failed to disclose in its  Registration
Statement that prior to the date the offering became effective,  Sterling Foster
had secretly agreed to release certain shareholders from"lock-up" agreements for
the purpose of selling their shares to Sterling  Foster at reduced  prices.  The
Plaintiffs  claims allege that the Company violated Sections 11 and 12(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933,  Sections  10(b) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934
and Rule  10b-5  promulgated  thereunder,  Section  349 of the New York  General
Business Law; and negligent misrepresentation.  The Company believes that it has
defenses to these claims and intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.

Derek Betty and James Potter have instituted  actions  against the Company.  The
first action is entitled  Derek Betty v.  Lasergate  Systems,  Inc.  ("the Betty
Action") and the second action is entitled  James Potter v.  Lasergate  Systems,
Inc. and 1103065 Ontario,  Inc. ("the Potter Action").  Both actions are pending
in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial  Circuit in and for Pinellas  County,
Florida.  The Betty Action  alleges that the Company has failed to return shares
of the Company's  stock which are being held in escrow  pursuant to a Collateral
Stock Pledge Agreement executed in connection with the sale of Delta Information
Services,  Inc. ("Delta") to the Company. The Betty Action also alleges a breach
of the terms and  conditions of a Registration  Rights and Put Option  Agreement
executed in connection  with the sale of Delta to the Company.  The Betty Action
seeks  damages  in an amount in excess  of  $15,000,  which is the  jurisdiction
amount,  but it is anticipated  that damages could be in excess of $25,000.  The
Potter  Action also alleges a breach of the  Registration  Rights and Put Option
Agreement.  Moreover,  the Potter Action includes  allegations  concerning James
Potter's Consulting Agreement with the Company and a Non-Compete Agreement.  The
Potter  Action seeks a  declaratory  judgment  determining  that the Company and
1103065  Ontario,  Inc.  ("Ontario")  are in material  breach of the Non-Compete
Agreement  and that Potter is relieved of all  obligations  to perform under the
Non-Compete  Agreement.  The  Company has moved to dismiss  both  actions and to
compel  arbitration  pursuant to an arbitration  provision in the Stock Purchase
Agreement  relating to the acquisition of Delta.  The Company's motion to compel
arbitration with regard to the Betty Action was granted on May 2, 1997, and with
regard to the Potter  Action on May 14,  1997.  On June 13,  1997,  the  Company
initiated an  arbitration  proceeding  against  Derek Betty and James and Marion
Potter  claiming   misrepresentation  in  connection  with  the  Stock  Purchase
Agreement  which  was  executed  in  connection  with  the  sale of Delta to the
Company.  The Company seeks  damages in the amount of $200,000.  The Company has
succeeded in  consolidating  all three  arbitration  proceedings  and intends to
vigorously  pursue  damages  while  defending the claims of the Potter and Betty
actions.

The Company is also involved in other legal actions. Management does not believe
that the ultimate  resolution of these and the above matter will have a material
effect on the Company's financial position.

Revenues:

Revenues were  $1,025,888 and $1,103,940 for the second quarter of 1997 and 1996
respectively,  representing  a decrease of $78,052 or 7%. Revenue for the second
quarter of 1996  included an additional  two sales of the new general  admission
product to World of Coca Cola and Regal Cinemas totaling  $209,000 plus $642,000
of revenue  recognized on a large contract with American Skiing Company based on
the percentage  completion method.  This contract and the additions to it have a

1996  respectively,  representing  a decrease of $52,485,  or 41% .  Development
costs for the second quarter of 1997 do not include $94,000 of capitalized costs
related  to the  new  product  or  $55,000  of  costs  charged  to the  warranty
allowance.  Development  costs for the  second  quarter  of 1996 do not  include
$78,000 of costs charged to the warranty  allowance.  With the addition of these
amounts,  costs have  increased  $18,515  between  years.  This  represents a 9%
increase,  which is  primarily  due to an increase in the number of employees on
the development staff. Assuming the Company can secure additional funding within
the next few months,  the Company  expects to  continue  development  efforts at
approximately  the same level for the remainder of 1997 with the majority of the
development  effort  focused  on its new  modular  products  (see  Note 2 to the
Financial Statements).

Selling, General and Administrative:

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $796,831 and $2,870,100 for
the second quarter of 1997 and 1996  respectively,  representing a $2,073,269 or
72% decrease.  These amounts represent 97% and 260% of revenues in 1997 and 1996
respectively.  The decrease is  attributable  to a number of expenses  from 1996
that did not reoccur in 1997.  First,  capitalized  software  was  written  down
$1,075,000 at June 30, 1996 due to the development of a replacement product (see
Notes 2 and 3 to the financial  statements).  There were no  write-downs  of any
assets  during 1997.  Other  components  of the decrease from year to year are a
decrease  of $365,000  due to a provision  for  incentive  compensation  for the
executive  group  and  managers  in 1996 and a  decrease  of  $225,000  due to a
provision for contingent legal settlements in 1996. No such provisions were made
in 1997.  Other  components  of the  decrease  include  decreases of $107,000 in
investor  relations  expenses,  $34,000 in accounting and auditing  expenses and
$91,000 in legal  expenses.  These are primarily due to the costs of the private
placements of Preferred Stock of the Company during 1996.

Net loss  decreased  to $788,878  ($.11) a share for the second  quarter of 1997
from $2,989,255 ($.60) a share for the second quarter of 1996. The components of
the decrease in the Company's net loss are explained above.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Revenues:

Revenues were  $2,304,464  and $2,569,929 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996  respectively,  representing a decrease of $265,465 or 10%. Revenue for
the first half of 1997 includes seven sales of the new general admission product
to several  well-known  customers  including  the Art  Gallery  of  Ontario  and
Blackpool Pleasure Beach totaling $1,149,000 plus $642,000 of revenue recognized
on a large  contract  with  American  Skiing  Company  based  on the  percentage
completion  method.  Management  expects this  installation to be  substantially
complete by September 30, 1997.

Maintenance  revenues  represented  9% and 11% of total  revenues  for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996,  respectively.  This was primarily
due to less customers  accepting  maintenance  contracts on the legacy products.
This  trend  appears to be  reversing  now that  sales of the new  products  are
exceeding sales of the legacy products.

Cost of Revenues:

Cost of revenues were  $1,801,066  and  $1,792,051 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996  respectively,  representing an increase of $9,015 or 1%. As a
percentage of revenues,  cost of revenues  increased to 78% from 70% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. This was primarily due to increased costs associated
with early installations of the new general admission product.

Development Costs:

Development  costs were  $209,685 and $156,209 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and  1996  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of  $53,476,  or 34%.
Development costs for the six months ended June 30, 1997 do not include $186,000
of  capitalized  costs  related to the new products (see Note 2 to the Financial
Statements) or $95,000 of costs charged to the warranty  allowance.  Development
costs for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 do not  include  $281,000 of costs
charged to the warranty  allowance.  With the addition of these  amounts,  costs
have increased $53,476 between years.  This represents a 12% increase,  which is
primarily  due to an  increase  in the number of  employees  on the  development
staff.

Selling, General  and Administrative:

Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $1,663,914 and $3,733,911 for
the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997 and 1996  respectively,  representing  a
$2,069,997 or 55% decrease.  These amounts represent 79% of revenues in 1997 and
145% of revenues in 1996. The decrease is  attributable  to a number of expenses
from 1996 that did not reoccur in 1997. First,  capitalized software was written
down $1,075,000 at June 30, 1996 due to the development of a replacement product
(see Notes

                                      -12-

2 and 3 to the financial  statements).  There were no  write-downs of any assets
during 1997.  Other  components of the decrease from year to year are a decrease
of $365,000 due to a provision  for  incentive  compensation  for the  executive
group and managers in 1996,  and a decrease of $225,000  due to a provision  for
contingent  legal  settlements  in 1996.  No such provisions  were made in 1997.
Other  components  of the  decrease  include  decreases  of $131,000 in investor
relations expenses,  $44,000 in accounting and auditing expenses, and $52,000 in
legal expenses.  These are primarily due to the costs of the private  placements
of Preferred Stock of the Company during 1996.

Net loss  decreased to  $1,351,676  ($.18) a share for the six months ended June
30, 1997 from $3,153,210  ($.67) a share for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The components of the decrease in the Company's net loss are explained above.

The FASB has  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128,
Earnings per Share,  which is effective  for financial  statements  issued after
December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted.  The new
standard  eliminates  primary and fully diluted  earnings per share and requires
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of
how the per share  amounts were  computed.  The adoption of this new standard is
not expected to have a material  impact on the  disclosure of earnings per share
in the  financial  statements.  The effect of adopting this new standard has not
been determined.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company's  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles,  which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going  concern.  In the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company's  auditors qualified their
opinion  as to a  going  concern.  The  information  contained  in Note 3 to the
Financial  Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 remains current related to the status of
certain of the  Company's  operational  and funding  matters  and,  accordingly,
should be referred to in conjunction with this Form 10-QSB.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the Company used  $1,355,896 of cash in
operating  activities and incurred a loss of  $1,385,676.  From its inception in
March 1985 through June 30, 1997, the Company has incurred a cumulative  loss of
$18,168,994.  In recent years the Company has relied upon  proceeds from private
and public placements and loans in order to fund its operations.

The Company is presently  seeking one or more potential  strategic  partners who
can complement the Company's  marketing and development efforts and increase its
financial  stability.  As part of any  arrangement,  the Company would require a
capital  infusion in the Company which could result in a further dilution of the
present shareholders' equity interests. Management believes this is necessary in
order to continue increasing revenue each year. Moreover,  if a capital infusion
is not made by a potential  strategic  partner,  alternative  financing  will be
required by the Company prior to year-end to even  continue  operations at their
current  level.  The ability to obtain,  as well as the costs of obtaining,  any
such capital or credit are uncertain at this time.

In order to procure the  contract  with  American  Skiing  Company,  the Company
decided to accept a lower gross profit  percentage than it normally  receives on
smaller  contracts.  This was the primary  cause of the  increase in the cost of
revenue  percentage (cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue) from 67% in the
first  quarter of 1997 to 92% in the second  quarter of 1997. A secondary  cause
was lower than expected margins on maintenance revenue.

Since the Company does not purchase  components  for its products until an order
is received,  there is  typically a backlog of orders for  systems.  The Company
defines  backlog as a signed contract or customer's  purchase  order,  typically
with some type of financial assurance such as a deposit. As of June 30, 1997 and
December  31, 1996,  the  Company's  backlog was  approximately  $1,614,000  and
$963,000, respectively.

During the first half of 1997, accounts receivable  decreased $359,972 primarily
due to increased  collection  efforts,  inventory decreased $127,829 due to more
efficient  management and fewer  installations being in process at June 30, 1997
than at

                                      -13-

December 31, 1996, and accounts payable decreased  $153,808 primarily due to the
payment of accrued payroll,  payroll taxes and other expenses which were accrued
at year end. The  decrease in accrued  payroll and payroll  taxes arose  because
payroll is payable on the last day of each month,  but near year-end the Company
changed its payroll  service  provider  and the new  provider did not charge the
Company for the December 31, 1996 payroll until January 2, 1997. At December 31,
1996  accrued  payroll  and  payroll  taxes were  $210,000  and at June 30, 1997
accrued  payroll and payroll taxes were $9,656.  All other accounts  payable and
accrued expenses increased $46,536 during 1997.

Also,  during the first  quarter of 1997,  an  installation  was completed for a
customer who agreed to participate in the development  process by being an early
installation  site for the new product in exchange for extended payment terms on
approximately  half of their purchase.  As a result, the Company accepted a note
receivable  from the  customer  in the amount of  $144,856  with a term of three
years and bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

The Company estimates the cost of developing the new general admission  products
incorporating the modular concept will total approximately  $400,000 to $450,000
by the third  quarter  of 1997.  In the first six  months of 1997,  $186,000  of
development costs were incurred,  and this entire amount was capitalized.  Since
inception,  development costs incurred total $317,000 of which $211,000 has been
capitalized.

Warranty  costs accrued during the first half of 1997 were $60,929 and the value
of warranty work  performed was $97,910.  Management  continues to monitor these
costs to  ensure  that  sufficient  provisions  have been  recorded  in order to
reasonably  match these costs with the associated  revenues as well as to ensure
that this work is performed as efficiently as possible.

Although no  assurance  can be given,  management  believes  that,  assuming the
Company is able to secure additional  financing within the next few months,  the
recent  on-schedule  product launch of the new Admits general  admission product
will enable the Company to achieve an  increase in revenues  and a reduction  of
the  operating  loss by the  end of 1997  and  lay  the  foundation  for  future
profitability.  The foregoing is a forward-looking  statement and actual results
may differ  materially based upon certain risk factors.  These impacting factors
include the risk of not  obtaining  sufficient  financing in the next few months
which would materially  impact the Company's  ability to continue  operations at
their  current  levels.  These  factors  also  include,  but are not  limited to
customer  acceptance,  technological  change,  employee  turnover,  third  party
development schedules, installation schedules, and litigation.
