ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     (A)  GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
          -------------------------------
          Transact   International  Inc.  (formerly  Gram  Industries  Inc.),  a
Connecticut corporation ("Transact" or the "Company"), was incorporated in 1958.
The Company operates in one business segment, the sale, design,  manufacture and
installation  of air cargo  materials  handling  systems and equipment.  The air
cargo  handling  systems  and  equipment  operate  in  air  cargo  terminals  to
facilitate  the storage and movement of the  unitized  loads and  containers  in
which air cargo is shipped.  Transact also renders  consulting  and  engineering
services related to such systems and equipment.

     (B)  FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND EXPORT SALES
          --------------------------------------------------------------
          The  Company  operates  in one  business  segment,  the sale,  design,
manufacture  and  installation  of air  cargo  materials  handling  systems  and
equipment.  In 1999, two customers accounted for 21% (domestic airline),  19% (a
domestic  development  company),  respectively of net sales (excluding licensing
fees). In 1999 and 1998 the Company received $480,000 and $200,000  respectively
from a Chinese  manufacturer for licensing fees of certain technology.  In 1998,
three customers accounted for 14% (U.S.  Government),  13% (Alaska Airlines) and
11% (United Parcel Service), respectively, of net sales. In 1997 three customers
accounted  for 32%  (United  Parcel  Service),  29%  (U.S.  Government)  and 18%
(Agricultural   and  Processed  Food  Products  Export   Development   Authority
["Apeda"]), respectively, of net sales.

          Sales to the U.S.  Government were $97,670 in 1999,  $492,106 in 1998,
and  $2,099,000  in 1997.  All of the  Company's  operations  are in the  United
States.  Export sales to the Far East accounted for 9%, 8% and 20%, of net sales
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     (C)  NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
          -----------------------------------------------------------------
          Transact has  developed  various  components  comprising a basic cargo
handling system. This system consists of items of specialized equipment that may
be  customized  to a customer's  requirements.  These items of equipment  may be
purchased  separately and are  categorized by the location of their use into two
basic groups:  terminal equipment and ramp equipment.  The majority of sales are
direct to the end user;  however,  occasionally  the Company  sells to a general
contractor who has a contract with the end user.

          Terminal  equipment  includes  truck dock  lifts,  transfer  vehicles,
elevating transfer  vehicles,  decks, and storage racks which are installed in a
cargo  terminal  and are used to  receive  and  store  cargo  containers  and to
retrieve  such  containers  and  position  them for  loading on aircraft by ramp
equipment.  Transact terminal equipment systems have been installed in more than
60 locations.  Terminal equipment  accounted for approximately 63% of Transact's
net sales in 1999 excluding licensing fee income of $480,000.

          Ramp  equipment is completely  mobile and accepts cargo  containers at
the ramp area adjacent to the cargo terminal,  transports such containers to the
aircraft and loads them into the aircraft by means of conveyance  devices.  Ramp
equipment  includes  transporters  and loaders.  ramp  equipment  accounted  for
approximately 4% of Transact's net sales in 1999 excluding  licensing for income
of $480,000.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS -- CONTINUED

          PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES -- CONTINUED
          --------------------------------------------
          Transfer balls are used in decks to facilitate the manual  movement of
air  cargo  containers.  Spare  parts  are sold as  replacement  parts  for ramp
equipment and terminal  equipment.  Transfer balls and spare parts accounted for
approximately 33% of Transact net sales in 1999 (excluding  licensing fee income
of  $480,000).  In June 1999 the  Company  has  agreed  to sell its spare  parts
business to an  unaffiliated  company.  The sale is subject to due diligence and
the execution of a definitive agreement among other contingencies.  The terms of
sale provide that Transact sell approximately  $110,000 of spare parts inventory
and  applicable  drawings,  customer  lists and phone  numbers,  in exchange for
$130,000 at closing,  $60,000 of spare parts Transact is contractually obligated
to provide to project  customers and a 5% royalty on future sales up to $300,000
in royalties.

          Transact also provides  consulting and engineering  services to assist
customers in planning,  designing  and adapting  cargo  handling  systems and in
selecting equipment items based upon their particular  requirements.  Generally,
no more than two Transact  employees are engaged in rendering  these services at
any point in time.  These  services  have  enabled  Transact  to gain  access to
customers  at the  planning  stage for  future  systems  projects.  During  1999
Transact had no income from consulting and engineering services.

          SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS/PRINCIPAL MARKETS
          ---------------------------------------
          The Company  produces air cargo  handling  systems and  equipment  for
airlines,  air express and freight companies,  airport  authorities and the U.S.
Air Force.  Sales of air cargo  handling  systems are comprised of several large
contracts.  Therefore,  it is not unusual for a few  customers  to account for a
significant percentage of revenues. Sales to major customers for the three years
ended April 30, 1999 are outlined in Item 1 (b) herein. The loss of any of these
customers, if not replaced with another customer,  could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

          RAW MATERIALS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
          --------------------------------
          During 1993, the Company closed its Memphis,  Tennessee  manufacturing
facility. The Company is renting a smaller facility in Somerville, Tennessee and
is  subcontracting  a significant  portion of the production of its equipment to
selected   manufacturers   within  the  industry.   The  Company   subcontracted
approximately  45% of its cost of sales in 1999.  The Company  obtains bids from
qualified  bidders and determines who will be awarded the subcontract based both
on price and technical  ability.  Transact's review of potential  subcontractors
and  the   monitoring  of  their  quality   control   standards   minimizes  the
subcontracting risk. The materials required are generally available from a large
number of sources.  The Company has not experienced any unusual  difficulties in
obtaining the raw materials necessary to manufacture its products.

          CONTRACTING RISKS
          -----------------
          Most contracts for the sale of Transact air cargo handling systems and
equipment are the result of  competitive  bidding.  If accepted,  the bid price,
which is  effective  to a certain  date and for certain  equipment,  becomes the
fixed  contract  price,  and is  generally  not subject to price  renegotiations
unless the customer  either accepts the bid after its expiration date or changes
the scope of the project by  requiring  additional  or different  equipment.  In
preparing  its bid price,  Transact  normally  includes  a margin for  estimated
supplier price and subcontractor cost increases;  however,  Transact's  margins,
and  accordingly  its  estimated  gross  profit,  may be  adversely  impacted by
increases in costs which exceed  those  anticipated  or provided for in its bid.
Transact faces an additional risk of non-payment from a contractor when, on rare
occasions, Transact operates as a sub-

          CONTRACTING RISKS - CONTINUED
          -----------------------------
contractor.  Specifically, Transact risks delay in payment due to the incomplete
or faulty performance of the contractor.  Standard  provisions in contracts with
the U.S.  Government allow  termination at the Government's  option provided the
Government  and the Company  agree on the final  termination  settlement.  As of
April 30, 1999 the Company's  backlog with the U.S. Air Force was  approximately
$55,000.  Transact's  fabrication  contracts  may contain  substantial  per diem
penalty clauses for delays in completion  resulting from the actions of Transact
or of  its  subcontractors.  Transact,  however,  has  incurred  no  substantial
liability  resulting from either the non-payment by general  contractors or from
the penalty clauses.

          BACKLOG
          -------
          The  Company's  sales order  backlog was $2.4  million as of April 30,
1999.  This compares to $2.6 million as of April 30, 1998 and $3.1 million as of
April 30, 1997.  All of these  orders are  supported  by signed  contracts.  The
backlog is expected  to be  completed  and  invoiced in the year ended April 30,
2000.

          Transact  booked  approximately  $1,200,000  of orders  in 1999.  This
compares to approximately  $3,100,000 of orders in 1998 and $5,700,000 of orders
booked in 1997.

          COMPETITION
          -----------
          Transact's primary competitors in terminal equipment systems are three
German firms and the U.S.  subsidiary of one of these German firms, all of which
are  greater in size and  financial  resources  than  Transact.  Therefore,  the
relationship  of the United  States  dollar to the German  Deutsche Mark affects
Transact's competitive position in obtaining new contracts.  In the area of ramp
equipment,  there are numerous  domestic  and  international  competitors,  some
larger,  some smaller than Transact.  Transact competes primarily in the area of
product  and  systems  design,  technological  change and price.  In the area of
transfer  balls there are a few domestic  and  international  competitors,  some
larger,  some smaller than Transact.  Transact competes primarily in the area of
product design and price.

          PATENTS AND WARRANTIES
          ----------------------
          Transact  systems  and  equipment  are not  covered  by  patents.  The
industry is one in which rapid technological advances result in frequent changes
to designs and concepts.  These frequent  changes provide  Transact's  principal
protection  against  competition  from  unauthorized  use  of  its  designs  and
concepts.

          Transact  warrants  the  design,  workmanship  and  material  of  it's
terminal  and ramp  equipment  for one year.  Transact  includes  in its bid the
warranty work which it estimates will be required by each systems contract.

          SEASONALITY
          -----------
          The  demand for  Transact  systems  and  equipment  is not  subject to
seasonal  change.  Transact's  sales volume,  however,  is directly  affected by
capital expenditure budgets of the U.S.  Government,  the air cargo industry and
the overnight package delivery segment of such industry.

          WORKING CAPITAL
          ---------------

Resources  included  in Item 7  herein  entitled  "Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

          RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
          ------------------------
          The  cost  of  Company  sponsored  research  and  development  was not
material in the last three years.  Major research and  development is undertaken
in connection with specific  contracts for cargo handling  systems or equipment.
The majority of the cost of research and  development is  incorporated  into the
contract  price.  This  practice  enables  the Company to utilize the results of
research and development  conducted for, and paid for by, specific  customers in
the overall improvement and updating of its equipment.

          ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND REGULATIONS
          -------------------------------------
          Capital  expenditures by the Company for environmental  control in the
current year were not material,  and the Company does not  anticipate  that such
expenditures  will  become  material  in the next two years.  Compliance  by the
Company with existing environmental laws and regulations has not had, and is not
anticipated in the next two years to have, any material  effect upon the capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.

          EMPLOYEES
          ---------
          The Company has approximately 12 employees as of April 30, 1999.

          GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL/REGULATIONS
          ---------------------------------
          The  Company is not  required  to  obtain,  and is not  awaiting,  any
governmental  approval for the manufacture and sale of any of its products.  The
Company does not believe that any existing or probable governmental  regulations
have or will have any material effect on the Company.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          GENERAL DISCUSSION
          Transact  operates in one business  segment which includes the design,
installation,  manufacture  and service of products and systems for handling air
cargo. These products and systems are sold to airlines,  air express and freight
companies,  airport authorities and the U.S. Air Force.  However the Company has
designed and developed  equipment and systems to handle marine  containers.  The
Company  has  received a number of patents and has agreed to license the patents
and technology it developed for marine container  Storage and Retrieval  Systems
to Seaport Technologies, Inc. (see page 22).

          The Company  subcontracts  a significant  portion of the production of
its systems and equipment to selected  manufacturers within the industry thereby
shifting the risk of cost overruns  associated  with the  manufacturing  process
from the Company to the  subcontractor  and  reducing  the  financial  impact of
changes in workload.  In addition,  in many  instances  the payment terms of the
prime contract are passed on to the subcontractor. As a result, the contract is,
in effect, financed by the subcontractor and not the Company.

          The Company's  sales contracts are primarily the result of competitive
bids at fixed  prices  for  specified  equipment.  At the time of  bidding,  the
Company  provides for estimated cost increases for materials and  subcontractors
based upon its past experience  with similar  contracts.  However,  increases in
costs which exceed those  anticipated  or provided in its bid  adversely  effect
gross profit.

          The Company's present principal  competitors for terminal projects are
German-based  companies  and in one case a U.S.  subsidiary  of a  German  based
company.  Therefore,  the  relationship  of the U.S.  dollar to the German  Mark
affects the  Company's  competitive  position in obtaining  new  contracts.  The
Company's  principal  competitors for ramp equipment and transfer balls are U.S.
businesses.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          SALES
          Sales of air cargo  handling  systems are  comprised of several  large
contracts.  Therefore  it is not  unusual for a few  customers  to account for a
significant  percentage of net sales.  The U.S. Air Force has been a significant
customer for the last three years,  accounting  for 4%, 14% and 29% of net sales
in 1999,  1998  and  1997,  respectively.  United  Parcel  Service,  a  domestic
commercial  customer  accounted  for  11%  and  32%  of  1998  and  1997  sales,
respectively.  Two customers  located in India,  accounted for 6%, 5% and 18% of
1999, 1998 and 1997 sales, respectively.  Alaska Airlines, a domestic commercial
customer,  accounted  for 13% of  1998's  sales.  Export  sales  to the Far East
accounted for 9%, 8% and 20% of net sales in 1999, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.
Sales to the U.S.  Air Force for the next one to three years is  anticipated  to
remain low because of a decrease in spending by the U.S. Air Force for air cargo
handling equipment.

                   Total                      $ 2.6 MILLION      $ 3.6 million     $ 7.3 million
                                              ==================================================
</TABLE>

          Project revenue in 1999 included  approximately  $.1 million of mobile
equipment while 1998 and 1997 each has less than $.3 million of mobile equipment
revenues. Large orders for transfer balls were shipped in 1997.

          GROSS PROFIT
          Gross profits  (excluding  licensing fees) were 0% in 1999, 3% in 1998
and 14% in 1997.  The  increase  in 1997 was because of the  increased  sales of
transfer  balls,  which have higher gross profit margins than project  revenues,
and the  absence  of the large  cost  overruns.  The  decrease  in 1999 and 1998
results from cost overruns and/or delay penalties on certain  projects and lower
sales volume to absorb the plant costs.

          SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
          Selling and  administrative  expenses decreased 12% in 1999 from 1998,
10% in 1998 from 1997 and 16% in 1997 from 1996.  The 1999 decrease is primarily
a reduction in legal fees, bad debt expense,  and other overhead expenses net of
an increase in salaries.  The 1998 decrease was primarily from reduced  officers
salaries,  travel  expenses and office rent.  In 1997 the decrease was primarily
due to reduced  officers  compensation  costs resulting from the retiring of one
officer.

          SALES BACKLOG
          The  Company's  sales order  backlog was $2.4  million as of April 30,
1999.  However,  $1.5 million of the April 30, 1999 backlog relates to a project
in India  which the  Company  anticipates  will be  substantially  completed  by
September 30, 1999.  This compares to $2.6 million as of April 30, 1998 and $3.1
million  as of April 30,  1997.  All of these  orders  are  supported  by signed
contracts. The Company expects to complete and invoice all of its April 30, 1999
sales order backlog prior to April 30, 2000.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
          In 1999 the working capital  deficiency  increased  $494,399 resulting
primarily from the net loss for the year.  Many suppliers have refused to extend
the Company  credit  which has created  difficulties  for the Company in selling
spare parts and transfer balls. In addition,  for terminal  projects the Company
must partner with a financially creditable and technically compatible partner in
order to compete for high dollar value projects. It is the Company's practice to
have its  subcontractors  subject to the same  payment  terms as the Company has
with its customer for terminal projects.  Thus,  portions of the Company's sales
contracts  are financed by its  subcontractor  and not the Company.  The Company
does not anticipate any material capital expenditures for 2000.

<PAGE>

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
          The Company is presently  seeking  additional  orders and is exploring
the sale or  license  of certain  or all  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 any product  lines.  Therefore,  there is no assurance that
the Company will be able to meet its obligations during the next year.

          INFLATION
          In  management's  opinion,  the impact of inflation for the three most
recent years is not significant to the financial statements as reported.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


          NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
          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 below. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the  recoverability  and  classification of assets or the amounts of
liabilities  that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon
its ability to return to  profitability  and/or  sell or license  certain or all
product  lines to generate  sufficient  cash flow to meet its  obligations  on a
timely basis.

          The  Company  has  a  stockholders'  deficiency  and  working  capital
deficiency of $1,705,658 and $1,719,378, respectively, at April 30, 1999 and has
incurred  losses for each of the years in the three year period  ended April 30,
1999.  Many suppliers are requiring the Company to pay on or before  delivery of
parts,  services  and  equipment.  The Company is presently  seeking  additional
orders and is exploring the sale or license of certain or all 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 any product lines.

          NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
          NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
          The  Company  operates  in one  business  segment,  the sale,  design,
manufacture  and  installation  of air  cargo  materials  handling  systems  and
equipment.

          Sales to the U.S.  Government  were $97,670 in 1999,  $492,106 in 1998
and  $2,099,000  in 1997.  All of the  Company's  operations  are in the  United
States. Export sales to the Far East accounted for 9%, 14% and 20%, of net sales
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

          REVENUE RECOGNITION:
          The Company utilizes the percentage of completion method of accounting
measured by the  percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated  total cost of
each  contract  to  record  income  on  uncompleted  contracts.  Whenever  it is
estimated  that a loss will be incurred on a contract,  the entire amount of the
estimated  loss  is  recognized.   Because  of  the  inherent  uncertainties  in
estimating  revenue  and  costs,  it is at least  reasonably  possible  that the
estimates  used will change within the near term.  All other revenue is recorded
upon shipment of the product or providing the service.

          ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:
          Accounts  receivable include amounts currently due from customers.  At
April   30,   1998,   accounts   receivable   included   $10,000   due  from  an
officer/stockholder which was paid in fiscal 1999.

          INVENTORIES:
          Inventories  are  stated  at the  lower  of  cost or  market.  Cost is
determined on a first in, first out basis.  Inventories consist of raw materials
and manufacturing supplies.

          PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
          Depreciation  on plant and equipment is provided by the  straight-line
method based on the estimated  useful lives of the assets,  ranging from 3 to 20
years.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


          NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) PER SHARE DATA:
          Amounts per share have been computed using the weighted average number
of common  shares  outstanding  during each year  (6,123,235  in 1999,  1998 and
1997).  During the year ended April 30, 1998, the Company  adopted  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128  "Earnings per share (SFAS 128)" which
establishes  new standards for computing and presenting  earnings per share.  As
required  by the  standard  prior  period  earnings  per  share  data  have been
restated.

          Under SFAS 128, net income (loss) per share basic is computed based on
the weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding.  Net income
(loss) per share - diluted  reflects the potential  dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted
into common stock or  otherwise  resulted in the issuance of common stock and is
computed  similarly  to "fully  diluted"  net  income  (loss) per share that was
reported under previous accounting  standards.  Dilutive potential common shares
did not have a significant dilutive effect.

          INCOME TAXES:
          The Company's deferred tax provision is determined under the liability
method.  Under this method,  deferred tax assets and  liabilities are recognized
based on differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates.

          CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT:
          Financial   instruments  that  potentially   subject  the  Company  to
concentrations  of credit risk consist  principally  of trade  receivables.  The
Company's  customers  are  concentrated  in the  aviation  industry.  The U.  S.
Government  accounted for 4% in 1999, 14% in 1998 and 29% in 1997, of net sales.
A domestic airline and a domestic  development company accounted for 21% and 19%
respectively  of net sales  (excluding  licensing  fees) in 1999.  Two customers
located in India accounted for  approximately 6%, 5% and 18% of total revenue in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  United Parcel Service, a domestic commercial
customer,  accounted for 11%, of 1998 net sales and 32%,  respectively,  of 1997
net sales.  Alaska  Airlines  accounted  for 13% of 1998 net sales.  The Company
routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and as a consequence,
believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

          DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
          The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts
receivable  and trade  accounts and notes payable  approximate  their fair value
because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial  instruments.
The  Company's  notes  payable bear interest at 1% over the bank's prime lending
rate and therefore approximates fair value.

          MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES:
          The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
periods.  These estimates were based on a going concern  entity.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

          NOTE 6 - BANK BORROWINGS AND NOTE PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDER
          In January 1997, the company  converted its $150,000  short-term  bank
note payable to a term loan  payable,  to the same bank,  in  twenty-four  equal
monthly principal  installments of $6,250  commencing  February 15, 1997. During
fiscal 1999 the term loan was repaid in full.

          On June 4, 1997,  a  stockholder  of the  Company  loaned the  Company
$100,000 payable October 31, 1997 with interest at 8% per annum. The Company was
unable  to repay  the loan on  October  31,  1997 and  subsequently  reached  an
agreement with the  stockholder  to pay seven $5,000  monthly  payments with the
balance,  including  interest,  payable from the proceeds of a project in India.
Such proceeds are to be paid directly from India to an account designated by the
stockholder.  The  entire  outstanding  balance of $65,000 is shown as a current
liability.  A  company  owned  by  the  stockholder  has  been  engaged  as  the
subcontractor to complete this project in India. This subcontractor will be paid
directly from the Indian customer.

          The  current  portion of  long-term  debt of $23,657 is payable to the
U.S. Air Force.  This liability  relates to an overpayment by the Air Force on a
contract in 1993 and bears  interest as fixed by the  Secretary of the Treasury,
pursuant to Public Law 95-563. The interest rate at April 30, 1999 was 6.75%.

          NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE TO AFFILIATE
          The Company owns patents for the handling of marine  containers,  that
is  substantially  different from the current  methods of storing and retrieving
containers  at marine  terminals  and rail  intermodal  yards.  The  Company has
entered into a licensing agreement with Seaport  Technologies,  Inc. ("Seaport")
to develop and market the  patented  system.  The  Company  has  entered  into a
Technical  Service  Agreement  with  Seaport and as of January  1999 Seaport has
started modest funding in accordance with this Agreement.

          Seaport is actively  marketing the patented  system to shipping lines,
marine  terminal  operators and rail intermodal  operators.  Under the licensing
agreement  the Company will be entitled to a fee of 1% of the first $100 million
of revenue,  2% of the second $100  million of revenues and 3% of the third $100
million of revenues and then  descending  back to 1% of revenues after attaining

costs incurred by the Company on Seaport's behalf.  The advances are pursuant to
notes,  payable on demand with interest at 8 1/2% per annum and the advances are
secured  by all of the  Company's  assets.  The  Company  has  invoiced  Seaport

          NOTE 9 -- LEASES
          The Company leases certain facilities, furniture and automobiles under
noncancelable  operating  leases.  The  following  is a  schedule  of the future
minimum rental commitments on such leases at April 30, 1999 :

          Year Ending
          April 30,
          -----------
          2000               76,459
          2001               24,058

          Rent  expense was  $101,926 in 1999,  $97,664 in 1998 and  $141,437 in
1997.

          NOTE 10 -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK OPTIONS
          A net loss  during  each of the years in the three year  period  ended
April 30, 1999 was the only change in Stockholders' Equity.

          The  Company's  1978  Employee's  Incentive  Stock  Option Plan ("1978
Plan")  provides  that  options  may be  granted to acquire a maximum of 100,000
shares of the Common  Stock at not less than 85% of market  price on the date of
grant.

          At April 30,  1999 and 1998 there were no options  outstanding  and no
options  were  exercised in either  year.  At April 30, 1997,  there were 22,000
options  outstanding and  exercisable,  with an option price of $1.50 per share.
There are 100,000  options  subject to future  grant and all  options  expire 10
years from the date of grant.

          The salary of one officer was deferred  for future  payment by $70,000
in 1996 as a result  of the  Company's  operating  conditions.  Of this  amount,
$60,000  was waived by this  officer  in 1997.  In  addition,  the salary of one
officer was reduced by $45,000 in 1997 and salaries of two officers were reduced
by $65,000 in 1996, as a result of operating conditions.

          NOTE 11 -- EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS
          The  Company has a 401(k)  Profit  Sharing  Plan and a Money  Purchase
Plan.  Employee  participation  in the 401(k) Profit  Sharing Plan is voluntary.
Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan,  employees may defer up to 19% of their
annual  compensation.  Prior to freezing the Money Purchase Plan, (see paragraph
below) the  Company  was  required to  contribute  an amount  equal to 3% of the
employee's compensation.  The Company accrued for the year ended April 30, 1995,
a  matching   discretionary   contribution  of  50%  of  the  employees   401(k)
contributions,  with a cap  of 3% of the  employees  compensation.  However,  in
fiscal 1996, the Company  discontinued  such matching until business  conditions
improve.

          Effective  June 1, 1996,  the Company froze its Money  Purchase  Plan.
This action  eliminates  any future  liability  of the Company in respect to the
Plan while the Plan is frozen.  This action  does not  constitute  an  effective
termination of the Plan.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


          NOTE 12 -- INCOME TAXES
          There is no benefit for income taxes in 1999, 1998 and 1997 as the tax
losses generated in those years cannot be carried back to offset income in prior
years.

          The tax effects of temporary  differences giving rise to the Company's
deferred tax assets are as follows :

                                                ==========    ==========

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

          At April 30, 1999,  the Company has operating loss  carryforwards  and
investment tax credit  carryforwards  for tax return  purposes of  approximately
$7,400,000 and $2,000 respectively, expiring in 2000 through 2012.

          NOTE 13 -- OTHER DATA
          The Company paid $8,898,  $387,548 and $780,465  during 1999, 1998 and
1997,  respectively,  to a  subcontractor  that is owned by a stockholder of the
Company  for  the  manufacturing  of  equipment  for  certain   projects.   This
subcontractor  has  issued  letters  of  credit  on  behalf  of the  Company  in
connection with two contracts executed by the Company.

          NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
          In June 1999 the Company agreed to sell its spare parts business to an
unaffiliated  Company. The sale is subject to due diligence and the execution of
a definitive  agreement  among other  contingencies.  The Company agreed to sell
approximately $110,000 of spare parts from inventory,  drawings for spare parts,
customer lists, and phone numbers, in exchange for $130,000 at closing,  $60,000
of  spare  parts  that  Transact  designates,  which  are for  terminal  project
customers of  Transact's,  and royalties of 5% of future sales up to $300,000 in
royalties.
