                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JUNE 30, 1995


(1)      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                 In the opinion of management all adjustments and accruals
         (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary
         for a fair presentation of operating results are reflected in the
         accompanying financial statements.  Reference should be made to
         Howtek, Inc.'s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
         ended December 31, 1994 for a summary of significant accounting
         policies.  Interim period amounts are not necessarily indicative of
         the results of operations for the full fiscal year.


(2)      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                 On June 7, 1994 the Company filed a complaint in the United
         States District Court, District of New Hampshire, against TECO
         Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. ("TECO"), several TECO subsidiaries, a
         TECO employee, and a number of distributors of TECO products.  The
         action seeks injunctive and declaratory relief as well as damages
         aggregating $17 million based on misappropriation of trade secrets,
         civil conspiracy, unfair competition and breach of contract.  The
         Company claims, inter alia, that TECO breached an exclusive
         manufacturing contract it entered into with the Company to manufacture
         digital color scanners exclusively for the Company by selling scanners
         under its own labels.  TECO has answered the complaint and asserted
         various counterclaims, including misrepresentation, and is claiming
         approximately $800,000 in payment for past due services.  In April,
         1995, the court denied Howtek's request for a preliminary injunction.
         The matter continues in the discovery stage and a trial is tentatively
         scheduled for December, 1995.


(3)      RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

                 During the second quarter of 1995 the Company recorded a
         restructuring charge of $2,662,632 as a result of management's decision
         to exit certain markets in the graphic arts industry. Management 
         intends to continue its efforts in other graphic arts markets as well
         as to enter new markets, including the medical imaging and life 
         sciences markets. The restructuring charge represents provisions for 
         losses on inventories related to the markets exited.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


        Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were $5,356,900, a
decrease of $735,870 or 12% over the comparable period in 1994. Sales for  the
six months ended June 30, 1995 were $11,208,650, an increase of $391,662 or 4%
over the  comparable period in 1994.

         The Company attributed the decrease in sales during the three months
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994 primarily
to lower sales of the Scanmaster 7500. The Company attributed the increase in 
sales during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1994 primarily to sales of the Scanmaster 4500.

        The Company recorded a net loss of $2,821,001 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1995, as compared to a profit of $183,594 over the 
comparable period in 1994. The Company recorded a net loss of $2,668,343 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to a net loss of $296,819 for
the same period in 1994. Of the loss recorded in the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1995, $2,662,632 is attributed to a restructuring
charge which was recorded in the second quarter of 1995 as a result of
management's decision to exit certain markets in the graphic arts industry.
Management intends to continue its efforts in other graphic arts markets as
well as to enter new markets, including the medical imaging and life sciences
markets. The restructuring charge represents provisions for losses on
inventories related to the markets exited.

         The Company's gross margin on product sales was 37% for the second
quarter of 1995 compared to 35% for the same period in 1994. The increase in
gross margin is primarily due to the reduction in product costs attributable to
ongoing cost reduction programs.

         Engineering and product development costs for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 were unchanged compared to the comparable periods
of 1994.  The Company expects that engineering and product development costs
will remain constant during the remainder of the year.

         General and administrative expenses in the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 were $40,390 and $75,804 or 8% higher than the comparable
periods in 1994.  This increase is mainly attributable to increased legal
expenses applicable to legal proceedings against a contract manufacturer.

         Marketing and sales expenses in the three and six month period ended
June 30, 1995 increased $101,484 and $19,697 or 14% and 1% over the comparable
periods in 1994.  The increase results primarily from increased promotional and
trade show expenses.

         Net interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 was $99,771
compared to $62,722 for the second quarter of 1994.  The increase resulted from
the increase in the Revolving Loan Agreement with its Chairman and principal
stockholder.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At June 30, 1995 the Company had current assets of $15,354,845,
current liabilities of $4,541,752 and working capital of $10,813,093.  The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.4:1.

         Accounts receivable increased by $304,444 during the first six months
of 1995.  This increase can be attributed mainly to a slowness in the European
marketplace related to Drupa, 1995, a major European trade show which takes
place every five years.

         Inventory increased by $1,116,727 during the first six months of 1995
in order to meet anticipated demand for the introduction of the new Scanmaster
DX, Pro-G and 2500 product lines, as well as anticipated demand for the
Scanmaster 4500 product line.

         Pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, the Company
received $82,875 during the second quarter of 1995 compared to the second
quarter of 1994 during which there were no stock options exercised.  The
exercise of stock options depends upon the market price of the Company's stock
and the option exercise price for individual employees and its effect on future
liquidity cannot be anticipated.

         Capital spending for equipment for the first six months of 1995
amounted to $925,506 compared to $609,022 during the comparable period in 1994.
The increase is attributable to production of the Scanmaster 4500, DX, Pro-G
and 2500 product lines.  The Company anticipates continuing the same level of
capital spending for the balance of the year.

         The Company believes it can adequately fund its working capital and
capital equipment requirements based upon its anticipated level of sales for
1995 and the line of credit available under the Revolving Loan Agreement with
its Chairman of which $5,421,396 was available as of June 30, 1995.
