                      NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)



1.  The balance sheet as of January 31, 1996, the statements of operations
    for the three and nine months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
    statements of cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 1996 and
    1995 have been prepared by Transact International Inc. (the "Company"),
    without audit.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
    assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
    in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
    Results of Operations" included herein the Company incurred substantial
    losses for the three and nine months ended January 31, 1996 and is seeking
    to sell certain product lines. These losses are cause for  concern about
    the Company's ability to continue as an on going business. The financial
    statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
    outcome of this uncertainty.  The Company's continuation as a going
    concern is dependent upon its ability to return to profitability and to
    sell certain product lines at a price that generates sufficient cash flow
    to meet its obligations on a timely basis.  However, there is no assurance
    that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.  In the opinion
    of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring 
    adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, the
    results of operations and cash flows at January 31, 1996 and all periods
    presented have been made.

    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
    financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
    that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
    statements and notes thereto included in the Company's April 30, 1995
    annual report to stockholders.  Seasonality is not a major factor in the
    Company's operations.  The results of operations for the three and nine 
    month periods ended January 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
    those for a full fiscal year.

2.  Inventories consist of raw materials and manufacturing supplies at January
    31, 1996 and April 30, 1995.

3.  Amounts per share have been computed using the weighted average number of
    common shares outstanding during each period.  No effect has been given to
    shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options as their effect would be 
    antidilutive.

                                     -----------



4.  There was no benefit for income taxes in the three and nine month periods
    ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, as the loss generated cannot be carried
    back to offset income in prior years.

    The Company has operating loss carryovers and investment tax credit
    carryforwards for tax return purposes of approximately $6,000,000 and
    $104,000 respectively, expiring in 1996 through 2009.

    The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to the Company's 
    deferred tax assets at January 31, 1996 are approximately as follows :


          Net operating loss carryforward        $  2,300,000
          Investment tax credit carryforward          104,000
          Other reserves and liabilities              153,000
                                                 ------------
                                                    2,557,000
          Valuation allowance                       2,557,000
                                                 ------------
                                                 $     -
                                                 ============


    Due to the Company's cumulative losses, management does not consider that
    enough support to overcome the "more likely than not" criteria existed
    at January 31, 1996 to record a deferred tax asset.  As a result, for 
    financial reporting purposes, deferred tax assets are fully reduced by a
    valuation allowance.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Sales for the three and nine months ended January 31, 1996 decreased 38.9%
and 17.8% respectively from the comparable periods of last year.  Revenue 
from sales of transfer balls, spare parts and projects for the three months 
ended January 31, 1996 compared to 1995 declined approximately $887,000, 
$46,000, and $14,000, respectively.  Gross profit percentages for the three
and nine months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 were 0%,  8.1%, 15.7%, and
16.0% respectively. The decrease in gross margins in 1996 were primarily
due to (i) a decline in sales of transfer balls and spare parts which have
a higher gross profit percentage than projects, and (ii) cost overruns in the
three and nine months ended January 31, 1996 principally on two projects,
both of which were completed as of January 1996.

The Company has incurred substantial losses for the three and nine months 
ended January 31, 1996. These losses are primarily from (i) the reduced
sales of transfer balls which have a higher gross profit, (ii) the low gross 
profit on projects, and (iii) lower revenues. These losses resulted in
a stockholders' deficit of $208,935 at January 31, 1996. The financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. This basis assumes 
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary
course of business. The Company has expectations that new business it has
vigorously pursued, over the past six months, will materialize during the
fourth quarter on favorable terms of payment which will help to mitigate the 
Company's need for cash in short term.  However, the Company's continued 
existence is dependent upon its ability to generate capital from the sale of 
certain product lines and ultimately attaining profitable operations. The 
Company is pursuing the sale of certain product lines including its transfer 
ball and ramp equipment product lines.  There is no assurance that the 
Company will be successful in these endeavors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

At January 31, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $230,796.
The Company's backlog at January 31, 1996 was approximately $3.8 million. It 
is the Company's practice to have its subcontractors subject to the same 
payment terms as the Company has with its customers. Thus portions of the 
Company's sales contracts are financed by its subcontractors and not the 
Company. The Company is exploring various ways to obtain additional working 
capital in order to meet its current and future financing needs. This can be 
assisted by profitable operations, but is dependent upon the sale of certain 
product lines.  However, in the event that the Company cannot generate 
sufficient cash from the sale of its product lines or secure new business as 
noted above, it is unlikely that the Company will have the necessary funds to 
meet its current or future obligations.
