                        (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements, which are for interim periods,
do not include all disclosures provided in the annual financial statements.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1998 of Imatec, Ltd. (Company), as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 1998 balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

2. LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share was computed based upon the weighted average number of common
shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the six months ended June
30, 1999. Fully-dilutive loss per common share has not been presented because it
was anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2.  PLAN OF OPERATION

         The Company was organized on November 17, 1998. The Company is
currently involved in significant patent litigation against Apple Computer
Corp., as discussed in Item I, Part II, herein. The Company believes, based upon
its internal budgets, that its available cash resources will be sufficient for
the Company to: (i) engage in licensing the Company's technology and Imatec
20/20 System developed for the medical diagnostic imaging field to manufacturers
of medical diagnostic imaging products such as scanners, cameras and image
reproduction systems, (ii) engage in marketing activities to facilitate the
licensing of the Company's technology and its Imatec 20/20 Systems, and (iii)
conduct its operations at least through the year ending June 30, 2000; however,
the Company has no plans to pursue its business plan until the resolution of its
patent litigation. The Company does not intend to utilize any cash resources
towards research and development or the purchase and/or sale of any significant
equipment. In addition, the Company does not anticipate any significant change
in its number of employees.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 increased by $46,765 and $101,323, respectively, from $167,856 and $349,939
in 1998 to $214,621 and $451,262 in 1999. These increases resulted from
increased litigation expenses net of decreases in other expenses. The Company is
continuing to reduce general and administrative expenses.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, interest income decreased by
$15,057 and $29,202, respectively, from $44,668 and $91,276 in 1998 to $29,611
and $62,074 in 1999, resulting from the use of marketable securities.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many currently installed computer systems and software products are unable to
distinguish between twentieth century dates and twenty-first century dates. As a
result, many companies' software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or
replaced to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Imatec's business is
dependent on the operations of numerous systems that could potentially be
impacted by Year 2000 related problems. Those systems include, among others: the
internal systems of Imatec's customers and suppliers, the hardware and software
systems used by Imatec in the management of its business and non-information
technology systems and services used by Imatec in its business, such as
telephone systems and building systems. Imatec has internally reviewed the
proprietary software systems used in the management of its business. Although
Imatec believes that its systems are designed to be Year 2000 compliant, Imatec
uses third-party equipment and software that may not be Year 2000 compliant.
Failure of such third-party or currently owned equipment or software to operate
properly with regard to the Year 2000 and thereafter could require Imatec to
incur unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems. Management does not believe
that these expenses would have a material adverse impact on its business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Management does not
believe that its expenditures to upgrade its internal systems and applications
have been material to its business, prospects, financial condition or results of
operations.

Imatec does not presently have a contingency plan for handling Year 2000
problems that are not detected and corrected prior to their occurrence. Any
failure of Imatec to address any unforeseen Year 2000 issues could adversely
impact its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is in the development stage and, primarily as a consequence of
expenses incurred in connection with research and development activities, at
June 30, 1999, the Company had an accumulated stockholders' deficit of
$6,107,198. The Company has continued to incur losses since June 30, 1999.
Further, the Company's working capital as of June 30, 1999 decreased by $459,734
from $3,020,050 as of December 31, 1998 to $2,560,316 as of June 30, 1999.

The Company believes that the remaining balance from their initial public
offering will be sufficient for the Company to sustain its business plan through
at least June 30, 2000, although there can be no assurance that such balance
will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations for such period.


                           FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

Statements contained in this report regarding the Company's future operations,
strategy, future performance and results and the anticipated liquidity are
forward looking and therefore are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
including those discussed herein. In addition, any forward-looking information
regarding the operations of the Company will be affected by the outcome of the
Apple litigation or the licensing of the Company's technology. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in its plan of operation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In February 1998, the Company filed a Patent Infringement Complaint against
Apple Computer Corp. (Apple) in the United States District Court, Southern
District, New York for damages of $1.1 billion. The complaint alleges that Apple
has infringed on three United States Letters Patent, issued to Dr. Shalit, by
making, using, and/or selling its "ColorSync" color management systems and
inducing others to do so. The patents are exclusively licensed by Dr. Shalit to
the Company and are: U.S. Letters Patent No. 4,939,581 entitled "Method and
System in Video Image Hard Copy Reproduction"; No. 5,115,229 entitled "Method
and System in Video Image Reproduction"; and No. 5,345,315 entitled "Method and
System for Improved Tone and Color Reproduction of Electronic Images on Hard
Copy Using a Closed Loop Control." The complaint alleges Apple willfully,
knowingly, and without the Company's consent infringed on the Company's rights
thereunder. The Company is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction
enjoining Apple from infringing, inducing others or contributing to the alleged
infringement of the Company's patents. A trial by jury has been demanded on all
issues. In March 1998, Apple filed a counterclaim, alleging that the Company's
patents are invalid, not infringed and unenforceable.
