                       NATIONAL TRANSACTION NETWORK, INC.
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       The accompanying  financial  statements and notes do not include all of
         the  disclosures  made in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year  ended
         December  31,  1995  which  should be read in  conjunction  with  these
         statements.  In the opinion of the Company,  the statements include all
         adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the quarterly results.

2.       Net income  (loss) per common  share is computed  based on the weighted
         average number of common shares outstanding during each quarter. Shares
         issuable upon exercise of outstanding  stock options have been excluded
         from the computations since their effect would be antidilutive.

3.       The results of operations  for the six month period ended June 30, 1996
         are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected for the
         full year.

4.       On March 21, 1996, the Company  received a commitment from its bank for
         the renewal of its working  capital line of credit  through  January 5,
         1997.  Maximum  available  borrowings  under the line are the lesser of
         $400,000 or certain  levels of  eligible  accounts  receivable  and are
         subject to  monthly  and  quarterly  financial  performance  covenants.
         Borrowings  bear  interest  at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate
         (8.25% at August 1,  1996)  plus 4% and are  secured  by the  Company's
         assets.  At June 30, 1996, there were no borrowings  outstanding  under
         the credit line nor have there been any  borrowings  through  August 1,
         1996. Borrowing availability under the credit line was $312,890 at June
         30, 1996.

5.       The Company  accounts for Research and Development  costs in accordance
         with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  86,
         "Accounting for the Costs of Computer  Software to be Sold,  Leased, or
         Otherwise Marketed." For the six-months ended June 30, 1996, there were
         no costs incurred that required capitalization.




                                       8


6.       Effective  January 1, 1996, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial
         Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
         Compensation." The Company has continued to account for its stock-based
         transactions  to employees in  accordance  with  Accounting  Principles
         Board Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees"  and
         will  include  the pro forma  disclosures  required by SFAS No. 123, if
         material, in its annual financial statements for 1996.

         Also,  effective  January 1, 1996,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of
         Financial  Standards (SFAS) No. 121, " Accounting for the Impairment of
         Long-Lived  Assets and  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No.
         121  requires  that  long-lived  assets  held and used by an  entity be
         reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  circumstances  indicate  that  the
         carrying  amount of an asset may not be  recoverable.  It also requires
         that  long-lived  assets to be  disposed of be reported at the lower of
         the  carrying  amount  or the fair  value  less  the cost to sell.  The
         adoption  of SFAS  No.  121  did  not  have a  material  effect  on the
         Company's  financial  position or results of operations for the quarter
         ended June 30, 1996.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              -------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     Revenue  for the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996  decreased  by  52.4%  to
$1,159,209  compared to  $2,433,326  for the quarter  ended June 30,  1995.  The
decrease in revenue was primarily  due to the Company's  inability to generate a
significant  number  of  qualified  sales   opportunities  in  the  increasingly
saturated  supermarket market segment as well as delays in generating  qualified
sales leads in the general retail market segment. The lead generation problem in
the  general  retail  area is the  result of the slow  acceptance  of debit card
payments in these other market  segments  despite the  widespread  acceptance of
these  cards in the  supermarket  industry.  Consequently,  the  Company has had
difficulty  finding sales  opportunities  in new market  segments to replace the
saturated  supermarket  industry segment.  Uncertainties  with respect to future
orders from existing or potential  customers could have a material impact on net
sales or earnings in the future.

     Gross margins as a percent of revenue were 57.9% for the quarter ended June
30, 1996 compared to 41.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in
gross margin  percentages  between the two  quarterly  periods was due to higher
margin software and professional services revenue comprising a larger percentage
of total  revenue  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996  compared to the quarter
ended June 30, 1995.

     Total  operating  expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 decreased by
24.3% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Sales and marketing  expenses
in the second  quarter of 1996  decreased  by 41.0%  ($203,500)  compared to the
second  quarter of 1995.  A  significant  portion of the  decrease  in sales and
marketing expenses  ($110,200) was due to lower compensation and fringe benefits
expenses  resulting  from a  reduction  in the  number  of sales  and  marketing
personnel  between the two  quarterly  periods.  In  addition,  the  decrease in
revenue for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996  compared to the quarter ended June
30,  1995,  coupled  with  changes in the  Company's  sales  compensation  plan,
resulted in a decrease in sales  commissions  expense of approximately  $63,200.
Lastly,  decreases in travel and entertainment expenses ($40,100) and trade show
expenses  ($8,700)  were  partially  offset by increases in  recruiting  expense
($10,800)  and  outside  consulting  expenses  ($14,700).  Sales  and  marketing
expenses  include  the  costs  of  distribution,   sales  commissions,   product
marketing, and account management.

     Research and  development  expenses  remained  relatively  constant for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

     General and  administrative  expenses  increased by 12.5% ($22,200) for the
quarter  ended June 30,  1996  compared  to the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1995.
Increases  in  compensation  expense  ($10,500)  and  outside  services  expense
($12,200)  were  partially  offset by a  decrease  in legal  and audit  expenses
($2,000).  General and administrative


                                       10


expenses include the costs of the finance,  human resources,  and administration
functions of the Company.

     Interest  income  increased  to $6,052 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996
compared to $5,520 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 due to an increase in the
amount of funds available for investment throughout the second quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Working  capital at June 30, 1996 was $868,504  compared to  $1,000,141  at
December  31,  1995.  The  decrease in working  capital was  primarily  due to a
decrease in accounts  receivable balances ($487,737) coupled with an increase in
deferred  revenue on hardware and  software  maintenance  contracts  ($316,906).
These changes were offset by increases in cash ($286,251),  inventory ($50,182),
and prepaid  expenses  ($26,469) and a decrease in accounts  payable and accrued
liabilities ($312,986).

     On March 21, 1996, the Company  received a commitment from its bank for the
renewal of its working capital line of credit through  January 5, 1997.  Maximum
available borrowings under the line are the lesser of $400,000 or certain levels
of  eligible  accounts  receivable  and are  subject  to monthly  and  quarterly
financial  performance  covenants.  Borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Prime Rate (8.25% at August 1, 1996) plus 4% and are secured by the
Company's assets.  At June 30, 1996, there were no borrowings  outstanding under
the  credit  line nor have  there been any  borrowings  through  August 1, 1996.
Borrowing availability under the credit line was $312,890 at June 30, 1996.

     Management  believes  that  sources of  liquidity  for future  needs can be
generated  from existing cash  balances,  cash  generated  from  operations  and
borrowings available to the Company under its bank-financed working capital line
of credit.

CERTAIN FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
- -----------------------------------------------

     The Company  does not provide  forecasts of the future  performance  of the
Company. The forward-looking statements in the Form 10-Q are made under the safe
harbor provisions of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
Company's  actual  results of operation and financial  condition have varied and
may in the future differ materially from those contained in the  forward-looking
statements  contained  herein.  The Company's future results remain difficult to
predict and depend on factors  including,  without  limitation,  fluctuations in
quarterly  results,  dependence  on large  customers,  dependence  on  principal
products,  dependence  on  third  parties  for  hardware  and  equipment,  rapid
technological  changes,  potential  for new  product  delays  and  defects,  and
fluctuations  in  economic  and  market  conditions.  Because of these and other
factors,  past financial  performance  should not be considered an indication of
future performance.
