NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Transact International Inc. (the "Company") will continue as a going
concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
uncertain based on the matters discussed in the next three sentences.
The Company has a stockholders' deficiency and working capital deficiency
of $137,152 and $189,940, respectively, at October 31, 1996. The
Company's sales backlog is $3.8 million at October 31, 1996 and the
Company is seeking additional orders and exploring the sale or licensing
of certain product lines that would enable the Company to continue as a
going concern. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be
successful in attaining additional profitable orders or in selling or
licensing certain product lines.
The balance sheet as of October 31, 1996, the statements of operations
for the three and six months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
statements of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 1996 and
1995 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. 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 October 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, 1996
annual report to stockholders. Seasonality is not a major factor in the
Company's operations. The results of operations for the three and six
month periods ended October 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
those for a full fiscal year.
2. Inventories consist of raw materials and manufacturing supplies at
October 31, 1996 and April 30, 1996.
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 provision for income taxes in the three and six month
periods ended October 31, 1996, as the Company utilized its available
operating loss carryovers.
There was no benefit for income taxes in the three and six month periods
ended October 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 $6,100,000 and
$104,000 respectively, expiring in 1997 through 2010.

<PAGE>
The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to the Company's
deferred tax assets at October 31, 1996 are as follows:
Net operating loss carryforward $2,250,000
Investment tax credit carryforward 104,000
Other reserves and liabilities 128,000
----------
2,482,000
Valuation allowance 2,482,000
----------
$ ---
==========
Due to the Company's cumulative losses, management does not consider that
enough support to overcome the "more likely than not" criteria existed
at October 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.
5. The Company's bank extended the maturity of its $150,000 borrowing until
January 15, 1997. The Company will attempt to develop an extension and/or
repayment plan acceptable to the bank prior to January 15, 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Sales for the three and six months ended October 31, 1996 increased $495,160
(26.6%) and $904,177 (23.3%), respectively from the comparable periods last
year. Sales from ramp equipment decreased in 1996 from 1995 but such decrease
was more than offset by increased sales of transfer balls of $649,202 and
$1,090,976 for the three and six months ended October 31, 1996 respectively.
Gross profit percentages for the three and six months ended October 31, 1996
and 1995 were 16.5%, 15.7%, 5.6% and 11.4% respectively. The increase in
gross margins in 1996 were primarily due to (i) an increase in sales of
transfer balls which have a higher gross profit percentage than projects and
ramp equipment, and (ii) cost overruns in the three months ended October 31,
1995 for a project that represented approximately 27% of such revenues. This
project was completed in November 1995.
For the three and six months ended October 31, 1996 the Company reduced its
selling and administrative expenses $60,597 and $149,760, respectively,
primarily compensation and employee benefit costs.
The Company's sales backlog as of October 31, 1996 is approximately $3.8
million. This compares to a $4.9 million backlog at October 31, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
During the six months ended October 31, 1996, the Company used approximately
$200,000 of cash in its operations, primarily resulting from an increase in
accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable, net of a decrease in
inventories. At October 31, 1996 the Company has a working capital deficiency
of $189,940.
The Company's ability to continue in business is dependent upon its ability to
increase profitability and/or sell or license certain product lines. The
Company's sales backlog is $3.8 million at October 31, 1996 and the Company is
seeking additional orders and exploring the sale or license of certain product
lines that would enable the Company to continue as a going concern. However,
there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attaining
additional profitable orders or in selling or licensing certain product lines.
