                  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 $1,139,585 and
     $1,161,518,  respectively,  at July 31, 1998. The Company's backlog is $2.4
     million at July 31, 1998 and the Company is 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, 1998, and the statements of operations and
     cash  flows for the three  months  ended  July 31,  1998 and 1997 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, 1998 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,  1998  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, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.


2.   Inventories consist of raw materials and manufacturing supplies.


3.   On June 4, 1997 a stockholder  of the Company  loaned the Company  $100,000
     with interest at 8% per annum.  The Company has repaid  $35,000 of the loan
     with the balance including  interest payable with the proceeds of a project
     in India.

     Due to the  loss for the year  ended  April  30,  1998 the  Company  was in
     default of its term loan with its bank and  therefore  the balance  owed at
     April 30,  1998 of $56,250 was  classified  as a current  liability  in the
     April 30, 1998 balance  sheet.  The Company is continuing to repay the bank
     $6,250 per month plus interest.

4.   The Company's licensing agreement with CIMC-TianDa,  a Chinese manufacturer
     was amended.  The revision  provided for total  compensation if $680,000 of
     which  $200,000 was recorded in April 1998,  $400,000 in the quarter  ended
     July 31, 1998 and $80,000 will be recorded when received in November  1998.
     The  $400,000  recorded  in the quarter  ended July 31,  1998 was  received
     $100,000 in June and  $300,000 in August  1998.  The Company has no further
     obligations to CIMC-TianDa pursuant to this licensing agreement.

                                   (CONTINUED)



5.   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.

6.   There were no income  taxes in the three month  period  ended July 31, 1998
     because the Company had a  substantial  net  operating  loss  carryforward.
     There was no benefit for income  taxes in the three month period ended July
     31, 1997, 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  $7,000,000  and
     $2,000 respectively, expiring in 1998 through 2010.

     The tax  effects of  temporary  differences  giving  rise to the  Company's
     deferred tax assets at July 31, 1998 are as follows:

              Net operating loss carryforward         $ 2,600,000
              Investment tax credit carryforward            2,000
              Other reserves and liabilities               83,000
                                                      -----------
                                                        2,685,000
              Valuation allowance                      (2,685,000)
                                                      -----------
                                                      $        --
                                                      ===========

     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, 1998 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:

The  Company  had net  income of $60,143  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  1999
compared to a net loss of $247,660 for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The net
income results primarily from licensing fees of $400,000 that the Company earned
applicable to a license agreement as amended for certain terminal equipment with
a Chinese  manufacturer.  Excluding the licensing fees the revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 was $380,827  compared to $959,461 for the first  quarter
of fiscal 1998.  The decline in revenue is due to the stoppage on the New Delhi,
India  project  which is expected to resume in October  1998 and the lack of any
new major  projects.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was negative and
7% respectively  for the three months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997. The negative
gross  profit was due to very low net sales,  the gross  profit from which,  was
less than costs including the operations in the Memphis plant facility.  Selling
and  administrative  expenses  decreased  approximately  $86,600  in the  fiscal
quarter  ended  July 31,  1998  compared  to July 31,  1997.  The  decrease  was
primarily a reduction in officer  salaries and legal expenses net of an increase
in uncollectible accounts receivable written off.

The  Company  sales  order  backlog as of July 31,  1998 is  approximately  $2.4
million of which $1.7 million is for the New Delhi,  India  project which is not
expected to resume in production  until  October  1998.  This compares to a $3.0
million backlog at July 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

During the three  months ended July 31,  1998,  the Company  used  approximately
$13,000  in cash in its  operations.  This  usage  primarily  resulted  from the
increase  in  accounts  receivable  offset by net  income.  At July 31, 1998 the
Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,161,518.

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.
