                         Notes to Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 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.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Sales for the first quarter of 1995 which ended March 31, 1995 were
$5,851,750, an increase of 24% from 1994's first quarter sales of $4,724,218.

        The Company attributed the increase in sales during the first quarter of
1995 as compared to the first quarter of 1994 primarily to the increase in sales
of the Scanmaster 7500.

        The Company recorded net income of $152,658 for the first quarter of
1995 as compared to a net loss of $480,414 recorded for the same period in 1994.
The Company's gross margin on product sales was 38% for the first quarter of
1995 compared to 34% for the same period in 1994.  The increase in gross margin
is attributable primarily to sales of the Scanmaster 7500.

        Engineering and product development costs in the first three months of
1995 were $775,744 as compared to $776,398 in the first quarter of 1994.

        General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1995 were
$507,805 which represents a 7.4% increase from the $472,391 recorded in the
comparable period in 1994.  This increase can be attributed mainly to increased
legal expenses applicable to legal proceedings against a contract manufacturer.

        Marketing and sales expenses in the first three months of 1995 were
$696,582 which represents a $81,787, or 11%, decrease over the comparable period
in 1994.  The decrease results mostly from the reduction in salaries due to the
departure of personnel during the quarter.

        Net interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 was $82,058 compared
to $59,356 for the first quarter of 1994.  The increase resulted from the
increase in the Revolving Loan Agreement with its Chairman, Robert Howard, from
$1,000,000 to $1,578,604.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At March 31, 1995 the Company had current assets of $17,400,816, current
liabilities of $4,705,979, working capital of $12,694,837, and the ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 3.7:1.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

        Accounts receivable decreased by $535,526 during the first quarter of
1995.  The decrease is due primarily to higher revenues in the fourth quarter of
1994 as compared to the first quarter of 1995.

        Inventory increased during the first quarter 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 continued demand for the Scanmaster 7500 and
Scanmaster 4500 product lines.

        Accounts payable increased slightly during the first quarter of 1995. 
The increase is due primarily to the purchase of materials for the Scanmaster
7500, Scanmaster 4500, Scanmaster DX, Pro-G and 2500 product lines.

        Pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, the Company received
$30,200 during the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first 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 in the first quarter of 1995 amounted to
$452,194 compared to $407,971 during the comparable period in 1994. The slight
increase is attributable to production of the Scanmaster 7500 and Scanmaster
4500.  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 operations and line of credit
available under the Revolving Loan Agreement with its Chairman of which
$6,421,396 was available as of March 31, 1995.
