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"

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.

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.

In stating that the above matters are true "based on his
knowledge," the signer does not mean that he knows such matters to be true, but
means that after reasonable inquiry he does not know of any facts which indicate
to him that such matters are not true. He further notes that there are no "other
certifying officers."
