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 was inactive from that date until 2003, and was searching for a merger with an operating entity.


On May  20,  2003,  the Company  and  three shareholders  owning an  aggregate  of  approximately  68% of its  outstanding  common stock entered into a Share  Exchange  Agreement  with SCL  Ventures, Ltd., a British  Virgin  Islands company ("SCL"), and its shareholders. The Agreement provides that the Company will  acquire all of the  outstanding  common  shares of SCL from its shareholders, who will receive, in  exchange therefor, shares of common stock of the Company  representing  95% of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares of the Company  upon closing of the exchange of shares (the  "Exchange").  Upon  consummation  of the Exchange,  SCL will become a wholly owned subsidia ry of the Company.  Laser has agreed to issue additional shares, upon consummation of the Exchange,  comprising 2% of its  outstanding  common  stock,  to  certain  consultants  retained  by  SCL in connection with the Exchange and its business.


Closing of the Exchange  (the  "Closing")  is scheduled to take place after delivery to all  shareholders of the Company of notice of the Exchange  accompanied by such  information  as is required  by  applicable  state and  federal  rules and regulations,  so as to allow the Company  shareholders  to exercise their rights under New Jersey law in connection with the Exchange,  but not later than June 30, 2004.


SCL's Business


SCL was organized to acquire  interests in  telecommunications  and related service  entities in Asia.  SCL is  currently  in the process of acquiring a 51% equity  interest  in  Guangzhou  Weida  Communications  Co.,  Ltd.,  a/k/a Weida Communications  Technology Company Limited,  a development stage  communications services company  organized in the Peoples  Republic of China ("Weida").


Weida is a privately-held company established in response to the Chinese government recently allowing an individual company to obtain a 100% private, non-governmental and non-military, VSAT satellite license. VSAT—Very Small Aperture Terminal is a relatively small satellite antenna used by corporations and governments for satellite-based point-to-multipoint data communications, such as financial transactions, Internet services, multimedia and TV. VSAT offers a number of advantages over terrestrial alternatives for businesses and homes. For private applications, companies can have total control of their own communication system without dependence on other companies. Business and home users also get higher speed reception than if using ordinary telephone service.


Currently, Weida is one of only two such license holders. The license encompasses:


• Audio and video services;

• Internet;

• Multimedia;

• HDTV; and

• Voice over IP


This grant by the Chinese government affords Weida the opportunity in the development and delivery of such satellite communications in China.


Founded in 2001, Weida has completed its initial satellite uplink in the Suzhou metropolis high tech park. All ‘‘beta’’ tests have been completed, and the company is currently delivering service. It has begun operations and has entered into contracts and negotiations with customer targets ranging from brokerage firms, to hotels, to national governmental ministries. Weida’s contract with China Telecom to provide redundant voice and multimedia satellite services is particularly significant. Weida employs a staff of approximately 80, with primary offices in Beijing and Suzhou.


Weida does not launch or operate the space satellites. Instead, it provides the ground-based transmitters and receivers that allow corporate and government customers to use satellite communications. Weida negotiates for and provides satellite bandwidth, provides equipment sales and installations, and, equally important, manages and improves the communications data streams.


Weida is licensed to provide services in the rapidly growing Voice Over IP telephone service market, and to provide such services as a phone operator.


Weida maintains its principal executive offices at the 10th floor of building C in Binhe Mansion, No. 1 Che, Daogou, Haidian, Beijing 100089.


The Company cannot give any assurances that the proposed exchange transaction will be completed.  

  


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 and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities


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, 2004, is as follows:


Common Stock Bid

The market for the Company's Common Stock is extremely thin, with actual transactions occurring only sporadically. As of April 29, 2004, 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.

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.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Critical Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Revenue Recognition

The Company has no sources of revenue.  General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.


Stock-Based Compensation


We account for our stock compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” We provide disclosure in accordance with the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”


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 decrease in the Company's net loss from $7,397 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 to $6,911for the fiscal year ended January 31 2004 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, 2004 the Company had total assets of $705 and an accumulated deficit of $7,446,155. 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.

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, 2004 and 2003, 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, 2004 and 2003, 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, 2004.

PART III


Item 10.  Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant


The directors and executive officers of the Company are as follows:

Chairman of the Board, President, Treasurer and Director

Walter J. Hinchcliffe

72

Director

Carrie Niemiera

Secretary and Director

Harvey Kash

70

Director


Carl Lanzisera has for the last year been the President of Federated Securities, Inc., a registered broker-dealer. From 1997 to 1998 he was branch manager of an independent office of First Securities, Inc. Prior to that he was branch manager of an independent office of Myers Pollack & Robbins Securities. He has been registered with the NASD for more than 35 years and has been a registered securities principle for 25 years. He holds a M.S degree in business from Adelphi University.


Walter J. Hinchcliffe is and has been since 1976 a principal in the management consulting firm Reed Wilson & Company. He holds a B.B.A. degree in marketing and retailing.


Carrie Niemiera has been a building manager of a commercial office building in Melville, NY since 1989.


Harvey Kash was the President and founder of a Mineola NY consumer advisory service from 1992 until he joined the Company. From 1984 to 1991 he was the President and the co-founder of DKS Sales, Inc. a full-service manufacturer’s representative in the areas of housework, hardware, lawn and garden furniture. He holds a BBA from the Baruch School of Business of the City University of New York.


The above officers and directors serve for a term of one year or until their successors have been elected.


Each of the Company's officers and directors holds other employment and is devoting only such time to the operation of the Company's business as its limited operations require.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Section 16"), requires that reports of beneficial ownership of capital stock and changes in such ownership be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Section 16 "reporting persons," including directors, certain officers, holders of more than 10% of the outstanding common stock and certain trusts of which reporting persons are trustees. We are required to disclose in this annual report on Form 10-K each reporting person whom we know to have failed to file any required reports under Section 16 on a timely basis during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 or prior fiscal years.


Code of Ethics


We have not adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive officer and senior financial officers. The board of directors intends to hold these officers to the highest ethical standards in their conduct of our business, but it does not believe that for a small company like ours formal exhortations to that effect are effective or contribute to that objective. The board of directors also believes that publishing a laundry list of specific prohibitions would be counter-productive, as it would detract from the board of director's objective by encouraging the attitude that all conduct not specifically prohibited is permitted.


Item 11. Executive Compensation


No compensation has been or will be paid on account of services rendered by a director in such a capacity during the fiscal year other than for the reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the Company's business.


Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management


The following table sets forth as of January 31, 2004, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of (i) all shareholders known by the Company to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of its outstanding Common Stock, and (ii) each director of the Company and each executive officer of the Company and (iii) all directors and executive officers of the Company has a group.
