                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 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

                 The lawsuit by the Company against TECO Electric & Machinery
         Co., Ltd., as previously reported in the Company's 1994 Annual Report
         on Form 10-K, and in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods
         ending March 31, and June 30, 1995, is in the final stages of
         discovery and as yet no date has been set for trial.  The Company
         originally sought damages in its complaint in the amount of $17
         million.  However, an expert retained by the Company to testify at the
         trial has now concluded that the Company's damages as a result of
         TECO's actions and omissions are substantially in excess of the amount
         specifically alleged in the complaint.  There can be no assurance that
         the Company will be successful in the action, or if it is, as to the
         amount of damages it may be awarded.



(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 September 30, 1995 were $4,303,024, a
decrease of $2,113,637 or 33% over the comparable period in 1994.  Sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $15,511,674, a decrease of
$1,721,976 or 10% over the comparable period in 1994.

         The Company attributed the decrease in sales during the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1994 primarily to lower sales of  the Scanmaster 7500.

          The Company recorded a net loss of $1,161,569 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1995, as compared to a profit of $408,920 over the
comparable period in 1994.  The Company recorded a net loss of $3,829,912 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to a profit of $121,101
for the same period in 1994.   Of the loss recorded in the nine month period
ended September 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.

         The Company's gross margin on product sales was 32% for the third
quarter of 1995 compared to 38% for the same period in 1994.  The decrease in
gross margin is primarily due to lower sales of the Scanmaster 7500.

         Engineering and product development costs for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 were unchanged compared to the comparable
periods of 1994.

         General and administrative expenses in the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 were $189,227 and $265,031 or 38% and 18%
higher than the comparable periods in 1994.   This increase is mainly
attributable to increased legal expenses.

         Marketing and sales expenses in the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 increased $225,433 and $245,129 or 32% and 11% over the
comparable periods in 1994.  The increase results from increases in salaries,
advertising, promotional and trade show expenses.  The level of expenditures is
expected to decrease slightly during the fourth quarter of 1995.

         Net interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 was $117,165
compared to $69,687 for the third quarter of 1994.  The increase results from
the increase in the Revolving Loan Agreement with its Chairman and principal
stockholder.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1995 the Company had current assets of $15,043,223,
current liabilities of $4,623,768 and working capital of $10,419,455.  The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.2:1.

         Accounts receivable decreased by $495,385 during the first nine months
of 1995.  This decrease is due primarily to higher revenues in the fourth
quarter of 1994 as compared to the third quarter of 1995 and is mainly
attributable to fluctuation in Scanmaster 7500 revenues.

         Inventory increased by $1,732,667 during the first nine months of 1995
in order to meet anticipated demand for the Scanmaster DX, Pro-G and 2500
product lines, as well as anticipated demand for the Scanmaster 4500 and
Scanmaster 7500 product lines.

         Pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, the Company
received $40,312 during the third quarter of 1995 and $184,637 during the
corresponding period in 1994.  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 nine months of 1995
amounted to $1,079,412 compared to $935,812 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 lower  levels 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 $4,921,396 was available as of September 30, 1995.

PART II      OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The lawsuit by the Company against TECO Electric & Machinery Co.,
Ltd., as previously reported in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
and in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, and June
30, 1995, is in the final stages of discovery and as yet no date has been set
for trial.  The Company originally sought damages in its complaint in the
amount of $17 million.  However, an expert retained by the Company to testify
at the trial has now concluded that the Company's damages as a result of TECO's
actions and omissions are substantially in excess of the amount specifically
alleged in the complaint.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in the action, or if it is, as to the amount of damages it may be
awarded.


ITEM 6.       EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

         (b) No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter for which
this report is filed.
