                     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 $174,999 and $315,041, respectively, at July 31, 1996.  The Company is
     presently seeking additional orders and is 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 July 31, 1996, and the statements of operations
     and cash flows for the three months ended July 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 July 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.  These financial
     statements should 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-month period ended
     July 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal
     year.

 2.  Inventories consist of raw materials and manufacturing supplies.

 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
     not material or antidilutive.

 4.  There was no income taxes in the three month period ended July 31, 1996
     because the Company has a substantial net operating loss carryforward.
     There was no benefit for income taxes in the three month period ended July
     31, 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.

     The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to the Company's
     deferred tax assets at July 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 July
 31, 1996 to record a deferred tax asset.  As a result, for financial reporting
 purposes, deferred tax assets are reduced by a full valuation allowance.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                   CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

 Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $12,729, representing a $110,439
 increase over the $97,710 loss in the first quarter of 1995.  This increase
 results primarily from the increase in sales and the reduction in selling and
 administrative expenses in 1996.  Sales for the three months ended July 31,
 1996 increased $409,017 (20.3%) as compared to the comparable three month
 period of last year.  Three major projects contributed to this improved sales
 picture.  On-going projects at Hickam and Dover Air Force Bases peaked during
 this period resulting in increased billings and a new, fast track, project for
 UPS Louisville for advanced aircraft handling equipment added to the overall
 result.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was approximately 15.0% for
 the three months ended July 31, 1996 and 16.8% for the three months ended July
 31, 1995.  This decrease of 1.8% in gross profit percentage reflects the lack
 of a high margin terminal project in 1996 that was completed in 1995,
 partially offset by higher revenues from transfer ball sales in 1996 which
 have high margins.  Gross margins remain under pressure, particularly for
 terminal projects, due to competitive conditions.  Selling and administrative
 expenses decreased $89,163 in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the first
 quarter of 1995.  This decrease was principally due to reduced compensation
 and travel expenses of $91,355 partially offset by an increase of $15,435 in
 legal expenses.

 The Company's sales order backlog as of July 31, 1996 is approximately $5.3
 million.  This compares to a $2.0 million backlog as of July 31, 1995.


 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

 During the three months ended July 31, 1996, the Company used approximately
 $198,000 in cash in its operations this primarily resulted from an increase in
 accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable, offset by an increase
 in billings and excess of costs and estimated earnings on incomplete
 contracts.  At July 31, 1996 the Company has a working capital deficiency of
 $315,041.

 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 is currently seeking additional orders and is 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.
