                   DATAKEY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


GENERAL

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
Datakey's financial position as of September 28, 1996 and December
31, 1995 and results of its operations and cash flows for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 1996 and September
30, 1995.  The adjustments that have been made are of a normal
recurring nature.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 1995 Datakey,
Inc. Annual Report and in Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 1995.


INVESTMENT IN HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES

The Company held marketable debt securities with an amortized cost
of $6,268,448 as of September 28, 1996.  As it is the intention of
the Company to hold these securities to maturity, they are accounted
for as "Held-to-Maturity Securities" as defined in FASB Statement
No. 115.  The market value of these U.S. Treasury Bill securities is
$6,267,623.  The unrealized loss, therefore, is $825.

All of the Securities have a maturity date of less than twelve
months.  The Company has no marketable debt securities which are
classified as Available-For-Sale Securities or Trading Securities.

 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
                   DATAKEY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     REVENUE - Net sales for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 28, 1996, decreased by $12,511 and increased by
$24,987, respectively, from the comparable periods of 1995. 
Commercial sales increased by $61,276, or 1%, in the three-month
period, and decreased $35,318, or 1%, in the nine-month period ended
September 28, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. 
Commercial sales were 92% of total sales for the three-month period
and 86% of total sales for the nine-month period, as compared to 88%
and 87% in the comparable 1995 periods.  The Company anticipates
that government sales will remain stable for the balance of 1996 and
that commercial sales in 1996 will be less than the commercial sales
in 1995.  Revenue in the fourth quarter of 1996 and for the year
will be lower than the comparable 1995 periods due to a general
softness in business from our major customers.

     GROSS PROFIT MARGINS - Gross profit as a percentage of net
sales increased to 34% and 37% in the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 28, 1996, from 32% and 33% in the comparable
1995 periods.  The increased gross profit margin is primarily due to
increased unit prices for standard products in excess of the unit
costs and improved manufacturing efficiencies.  Gross profit margins
for the balance of 1996 are expected to exceed the levels attained
in 1995.

     OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $524,013
and $1,136,445, or 83% and 60%, in the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 28, 1996, as compared to the same periods in
1995.  The increased expenses are primarily attributable to a
substantial increase, as planned, in research and development and
marketing expenses necessary to expedite the market introduction of
sophisticated electronic token-based systems targeted at the rapidly
emerging corporate information security marketplace.












                                 6

<PAGE>
     INTEREST INCOME - Interest income during the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 28, 1996, decreased $7,553 and
$9,567, or 8% and 3%, from the comparable periods in 1995.  The
lower level of interest income is primarily due to a reduction in
the market interest rate on earnings from the Company's investment
in held-to-maturity securities.  Interest income for the balance of
1996 is likely to be lower than comparable 1995 periods as a result
of continuation of the lower rate of interest and a declining
balance in held-to-maturity securities, as the Company will be
investing the proceeds of some of these securities as they mature to
fund its investment in new product development.


     FINANCIAL CONDITION - During the nine-month period ended
September 28, 1996, the Company had a net decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of $163,113, compared to a net increase of $186,729 in
the comparable 1995 period.  The decrease in cash and equivalents
during the nine-month period ended September 28, 1996 was primarily
due to the significant increase in spending on new product
development and marketing expense which also has resulted in a loss
for the three-month and nine-month periods.  Cash, cash equivalents
and investment in held-to-maturity securities were $6,818,565 at
September 28, 1996.

The Company anticipates that its current working capital position of
$8,190,947 and internally generated cash flow will be sufficient to
fund its planned operations and investment in new product
development for the foreseeable future.

     OUTLOOK FOR 1996 - The Company expects to report a significant
loss in 1996 due to a substantial increase in expenditures on
product development and promotion.

uncertainties, including those described under the heading
