The aggregate market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates of the Registrant at April 28, 2003 was approximately $ 378,661.

Revenue for the most recent fiscal year was $0.
Part I
Item 1. Business
The Company was incorporated in 1986 and completed an initial public offering of its Common Stock in 1989. From the time of its incorporation until early 1993 it was a developer and marketer of integrated optical disk-based imaging systems and large network document management systems, which it marketed primarily to the pharmaceutical industry in the United States and Europe and to users of litigation support applications.
In 1993 the Company commenced an orderly winding up and liquidation of its assets, which it completed substantially in 1994. It has been inactive since that date, and has recently commenced searching for a merger with an operating entity.
Employees
The Company's four officers are its only employees. Each of them has other employment and devotes only such time to the Company's business as is necessary for its limited operations.
Item 2. Properties
The Company maintains its principal executive offices at 1395 New York Avenue, Huntington Station, NY, on a rent free basis pursuant to a verbal agreement with Carl Lanzisera, its Chairman and principal shareholder.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
None

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the last quarter of the period covered by this report.
Part II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

The Company’s Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market. The range of high and low bid quotations, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, for the Company’s securities through the three months ended January 31, 2003, is as follows:

The market for the Company's Common Stock is extremely thin, with actual transactions occurring only sporadically. As of April 27, 2003, the approximate number of holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock was 750.
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock. Payment of dividends is within the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and depends, among other factors, on earnings, capital requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following selected financial data should be read in connection with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appearing elsewhere in this report. Such data have been derived from the financial statements audited by Tamas B. Revai, Certified Public Accountant.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The Company has no sources of revenue. Expenses reflect only the minimum cost of maintaining the Company's operations and miscellaneous expenses associated with seeking a merger partner. In view of these limited operations, management does not believe that a comparison of specific line items from period to period it would be meaningful. The increase in the Company's net loss from $7,360 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 to $7,397 for the fiscal year ended January 31 2003 is similarly not meaningful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, at January 31, 2003 the Company had total assets of $4,255 and an accumulated deficit of $7,431,846. The Company obtains its entire financial support from loans from the Company's majority shareholder, and it is likely that additional loans from that shareholder will be necessary if the Company is to pursue its plans to merge with an operating enterprise. These factors, among other things, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

Letter of Intent

On March 28, 2003, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the acquisition of SCL Ventures, Ltd. SCL is a Bermuda company in formation that proposes to engage in a telecommunications related business. The letter calls for the parties to negotiate an exchange agreement under which the Company would issue shares comprising 95% of its outstanding common stock to the shareholders of SCL in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of SCL, making SCL a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company would also issue additional shares comprising 2% of its outstanding common stock to founders of SCL, their affiliates and others as directed by SCL. In connection with the proposed exchange, an unrelated party is to provide financing in an amount that will result in SCL's having a total equity investment of not less than $6 million following the closing. The Company cannot offer any assurances that the proposed exchange agreement will be successfully negotiated or that the proposed transaction will be completed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT



To the Board of Directors
And Stockholder of
Laser Recording Systems, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Laser Recording Systems, Inc. as of January 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statement of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the years 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 the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Laser Recording Systems, Inc. as of January 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As we discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company discontinued operation in 1993 and liquidated most of its assets. As a result, all revenues and expenses were classified as non-operating items for the years of February 1, 1994 to January 31, 2003.

LASER RECORDING SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2003 AND 2002

GENERAL

Laser Recording Systems, Inc. (the Company) was organized in 1985 as the successor to several other businesses by the original founder. In 1988 Poly Ventures, Limited Partnership held approximately 70% of the outstanding voting shares and maintained a controlling interest in the Company until 1998. In 1998 several investors acquired the remaining interest from Poly Ventures.

As reported in form 10-Q, on October 31st 1993, the Company ceased operations and laid off all its employees on August 16th 1993. The Company handed over projects to their customers on that date. From October 31st 1993 to January 7, 2000, the Company did not file any reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On January 7, 2000 the Company filed Form 10-K for January 31, 1999 and the required Forms 10-Q for the following quarters and year.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the result for the periods shown. The result of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future periods.

Note 1.

In 1998 several investors purchased from Poly Ventures 1,975,408 Common Shares, 2,200,729 Preferred Shares, 225,321 Class B Cumulative Preferred Shares and 1,080,000 Class C Cumulative Preferred Shares. Included in the purchase were two notes for the total of $190,000.

In 1999 all classes of the preferred shares, accrued dividend and interest, paid in capital and loans payable were converted to capital stock. As a result the Company’s board of Directors on January 15, 1999 authorized issuing 3,001,185 Common Shares for all liabilities and preferred stocks. In lieu of compensation, the board of directors authorized issuing additional shares to the officers of the company. Therefore, the Company recognized $1,400 director fees and the same amount were credited against Paid In Capital. As of the date of the financial statements all 10,000,000 shares of the company were issued and outstanding. In addition, the officers received 1,800,000 warrants for future services. If the warrants will be exercised, the Company will have to buy back its stock on the open market.

Note 2.

The Company discontinued operation on August 16th 1993, however the Company maintained certain functions to continue the existence of the corporation. Stockholders services and maintaining of records were handled on an ongoing basis. In 1999, the Company filed all necessary tax returns for the years of February 1, 1993 to January 31, 2000. For financial statement purposes all revenues and expenses are considered non-operating transactions from February 1, 1994 to the present.
