                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying statements. These statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company
believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the statements. The interim
operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1996
include the accounts of RomTech, Inc., ("RomTech"), which successfully completed
an initial public offering on October 18, 1995 with Applied Optical Media
Corporation ("AOMC"), which merged with RomTech concurrent with the completion
of RomTech's public offering, and Virtual Reality Laboratories, Inc. ("VRLI"),
its wholly owned subsidiary, which was acquired on April 5, 1996 in a
transaction accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting.
As further described in Note 2, the AOMC merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition whereby AOMC was deemed to be the acquiring entity for accounting
purposes. In addition, the fiscal 1996 financial statements have been restated
to reflect VRLI's operations on a pooled basis. Accordingly, the consolidated
statements of operations include the activities of the following entities for
the following periods:

         o  July 1, 1995 to September 30, 1995 - AOMC and VRLI
         o  July 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996 - RomTech, AOMC and VRLI

Description of Business

     RomTech, Inc. (the "Company") is a Pennsylvania Corporation which was
incorporated in July 1992. The Company develops, publishes, markets and is a
reseller of a diversified line of personal computer software for consumer,
educational and business applications. The Company's sales are primarily made
through retail stores, by direct mail and sales of CD-ROM titles in jewel case
packaging at computer trade shows.

Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Virtual Reality Laboratories, Inc. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

2.  Merger/Completion of Pubic Offering

Applied Optical Media Corporation ("AOMC")

     On October 18, 1995, the Company merged with AOMC, whereby the stockholders
of AOMC exchanged all their outstanding shares for 1,575,000 common shares of
the Company and 425,000 warrants to purchase common shares at $.50 per share. In
addition, concurrently with the Merger certain stockholders of AOMC exchanged
debt with a carrying value of $1,936,452 for 1,000,000 shares of convertible
preferred stock, a $300,000, 8.75% note payable, a $50,000 cash payment and
forgiveness of $586,607 of debt. The preferred stock has a face value of
$1,000,000 and is convertible into common stock of the Company beginning two
years after October 18, 1995 at a price of $3.30 per share. The Company has the
right to redeem the preferred stock for an aggregate redemption price of
$1,000,000.

<PAGE>

                                 RomTech, Inc.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     As a result of the AOMC merger, the former stockholders of AOMC had a
majority of the voting rights of the combined enterprise on a fully diluted, if
converted basis. Therefore, for accounting purposes, AOMC was considered the
acquirer (reverse acquisition). The cost of acquiring the Company was based on
the fair market value of the Company's net assets which approximated their
recorded value.

     In connection with the reverse acquisition, the outstanding shares of the
Company and the shares of the Company issued to AOMC stockholders have been
reflected as a recapitalization of the previously outstanding AOMC common stock.

     On October 18, 1995, the Company consummated an initial public offering of
1,550,000 shares of common stock at a price of $3.00 per share resulting in net
proceeds of $4,070,500 before deducting offering costs of $446,704.

Virtual Reality Laboratories, Inc. ("VRLI")

     On April 5, 1996, the Company acquired VRLI, a California corporation, in a
transaction structured as a merger of VRLI with a newly formed subsidiary of the
Company ("RomTech subsidiary"), with the RomTech subsidiary as the surviving
corporation. VRLI, which is located in San Luis Obispo, California, publishes
software for use on desktop computers. Its products include business forms and
imaging processing software targeted for the small-office, home-office market,
three-dimensional landscape rendering software and astronomy software for
special interest users and the education market. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company issued a total of 1,284,440 shares of its common stock,
in exchange for all of the equity interests of Virtual Reality, which included
common stock, stock options, convertible subordinated debt and a $100,000
promissory note to an officer and stockholder of VRLI. In addition, the Company
incurred acquisition-related expenses of approximately $757,804, including
$204,340 in the form of the Company's Common Stock, related to investment
banking, consulting, accounting and legal costs which were charged to
operations. This acquisition was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests
method, and accordingly the Company's historical financial statements presented
have been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of VRLI.

The following supplemental unaudited pro forma information summarizes the
combined results of operations of the Company as if the combination with AOMC
occurred July 1, 1995.

3. Subsequent Event

On September 27, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement in principle to
acquire FileABC(TM), a Nevada Limited Partnership, ("FileABC") in exchange for
$500,000 in cash and 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock and an
additional 1,000,000 shares contingent upon achieving certain revenue targets.
The terms of the agreement were amended on October 18, 1996, whereby FileABC
will be paid $325,000 in cash in addition to the interim payments of $50,000 on
July 17, 1996 and $125,000 on October 30, 1996. Additionally, a maximum of
1,200,000 shares will be paid to FileABC for each $1,000,000 of revenues
generated from the sale of FileABC's current software product and any
enhancements or derivative products on or before March 31, 2000. FileABC
develops, publishes and markets document imaging, management and archiving
software for the Windows(TM) operating systems. The acquisition is subject to
certain conditions and is expected to be consummated during the second quarter
of fiscal 1997. If completed, the acquisition of FileABC will be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1996
include the accounts of RomTech, Inc., ("RomTech"), which successfully completed
an initial public offering on October 18, 1995 with Applied Optical Media
Corporation ("AOMC"), which merged with RomTech concurrent with the completion
of RomTech's public offering, and Virtual Reality Laboratories, Inc. ("VRLI"),
its wholly owned subsidiary, which was acquired on April 5, 1996 in a
transaction accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting.
As further described in Note 2, the AOMC merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition whereby AOMC was deemed to be the acquiring entity for accounting
purposes. In addition, the fiscal 1996 financial statements have been restated
to reflect VRLI's operations on a pooled basis. Accordingly, the consolidated
statements of operations include the activities of the following entities for
the following periods:

         o  July 1, 1995 to September 30, 1995 - AOMC and VRLI
         o  July 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996 - RomTech, AOMC and VRLI

Management believes that the results of operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 may not be indicative of anticipated future results because
of the significant changes made in the combined businesses of AOMC, RomTech and
Virtual Reality (see note 2 to the financial statements). The acquisition of
Virtual Reality was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting, and accordingly the Company's historical financial statements have
been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Virtual
Reality.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $1,071,000
compared to $629,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, representing
an increase of $442,000 or 70.3%. This increase resulted primarily from
increases in the distribution through the retail channel of company developed
titles and in the reselling of budget category jewel case products through the
trade show channel.

Cost of revenues, consists primarily of packaging costs (boxes and jewel cases),
CD-ROM pressing or replication activities through third party vendors and
royalty expenses. The cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30,
1996 was $317,000 compared to $207,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1995, representing an increase of $110,000 or 53.1% due mainly from the increase
in revenues. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 70.4% in the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from 67.2% for the three months ended September
30, 1995.

Product development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, supplies and
product testing. Product development expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 were $122,000 compared to $137,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, a decrease of $15,000 or 10.9%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 were $852,000 compared to $391,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 representing an increase of $461,000. The increase was
primarily from increases in marketing costs ($159,000), salary and related costs
($113,000), commissions ($85,000) related to the increase in revenues.

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $14,000
compared to $63,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of
$49,000 or 77.7%. This decrease is due primarily to the reduction of long term
debt as a result of the merger between RomTech, Inc. and AOMC and the proceeds
from the IPO concurrent with this merger, and the investment of the proceeds
from the IPO.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The financial information presented reflects the Company's financial position at
September 30, 1996.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company's cash and working capital balances were
$758,596 and $285,219, respectively. To date the Company continues to operate at
a loss. At September 30, 1996 the Company does not satisfy the minimum level of
stockholders' equity required to be listed ($1,000,000) for trading on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market(TM). The Company is seeking additional capital to, among
other things, increase its stockholders' equity to at least the minimum level
required. The Company's ability to achieve positive cash flow depends upon a
variety of factors, including the timeliness and success of developing and
selling its products, the costs of developing, producing and marketing such
products and various other factors, some of which may be beyond the Company's
control. In the future, the Company's capital requirements will be affected by
each of these factors. Although, the Company believes cash and working capital
balances will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for the foreseeable
future, the Company plans to raise additional capital and it will seek such
funding through additional public or private financings. There can be no
assurances that the Company will achieve a positive cash flow or that additional
financing will be available if and when required or, if available, will be on
terms satisfactory to the Company. Currently, the Company has no significant
capital expenditure commitments.

On September 27, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement in principle to
acquire FileABC(TM), a Nevada Limited Partnership, ("FileABC") in exchange for
$500,000 in cash and 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock and an
additional 1,000,000 shares contingent upon achieving certain revenue targets.
The terms of the agreement were amended on October 18, 1996, whereby FileABC
will be paid $325,000 in cash in addition to the interim payments of $50,000 on
July 17, 1996 and $125,000 on October 30, 1996. Additionally, a maximum of
1,200,000 shares will be paid to FileABC for each $1,000,000 of revenues
generated from the sale of FileABC's current software product and any
enhancements or derivative products on or before March 31, 2000. FileABC
develops, publishes and markets document imaging, management and archiving
software for the Windows(TM) operating systems. The acquisition is subject to
certain conditions and is expected to be consummated during the second quarter
of fiscal 1997. If completed, the acquisition of FileABC will be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting.

Management of the Company is nearing the completion of a private placement
financing which along with funds generated from operations, management
anticipates will be sufficient to fund operations, make acquisitions of
proprietary products and software development companies, and make capital
expenditures for at least the next twelve month period. The Company currently
has no significant capital expenditure commitments.
