ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
           -----------------

     The Company is involved in an international arbitration entitled MicroTouch
Systems, Inc. v. Nissha Printing Co. Ltd. ("Nissha"), which is currently pending
in London, England, under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce
("ICC"). The case is based on the company's claims that Nissha breached non-
competition provisions and other terms of a distribution agreement between the
company and Nissha. The Company is seeking as its primary remedy, repurchase (at
par value) of shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Nissha, as well as
other remedies. No counterclaims have been filed against the Company. As of
December 31, 1995 the Company had incurred approximately $1.0 million of legal
fees in pursuing this matter.

The arbitration case against Nissha, is nearing its conclusion. The Company has
been advised that the arbitrators hearing the case have reached a decision and
submitted the decision to the Court of Arbitration in Paris for review under ICC
procedures. The Court of Arbitration is scheduled to review the decision at its
next meeting to be held between January 22 and 24, 1997 and the Company expects
to be promptly advised of the decision after that meeting.

If the Company prevails in the case, a hearing to determine the damages, if any
to which the company may be entitled, will be scheduled after the decision is
announced. If the Company does not prevail, its arbitration costs will have been
fully expensed, however, the company may be required to pay a portion of
Nissha's fees and cost, which could be significant, as determined by the
arbitrator in the case. If the Company is successful in its arbitration, the
fair market value of any amount awarded will be recorded as income.

The Company is involved in a case entitled Elo Touch Systems, Inc. v. The 
Graphics Technology Company, Inc., MicroTouch Systems, Inc. et al, which is 
currently pending in the United States District Court in Knoxville, Tennessee. 
The case arises from claims by Elo Touch Systems ("Elo") that The Graphics 
Technology Company, Inc. (the predecessor to the Company's Touch Technology 
business) manufactured and sold, and that the Company intends to manufacture and
sell in the future, certain products which infringe certain patent rights held 
by Elo. Elo is seeking unspecified damages and remedies for the defendants' 
alleged patent infringements. The parties are currently engaged in an extensive 
discovery process and the case will mostly likely be scheduled for trial later 
this year.

The Company is a plaintiff in a pending case entitled MicroTouch Systems, Inc.
and Peptek, Inc. v. Elo Touch Systems, Inc. which is currently pending in the
United States District Court in Boston, Massachusetts.  The case arises from
claims by the Company and Peptek, Inc. ("Peptek") that Elo manufactures and
sells products which infringe certain patent rights held by Peptek and
exclusively licensed to the Company.  The Company is seeking unspecified damages
and remedies for Elo's alleged patent infringements.  The parties are in the
pre-discovery stage and it is impossible to predict when the case may be
scheduled for trial.

As partially described above, the Company is subject to various investigations,
claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the
ordinary course of its business activities.  Each of these matters is subject to
various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be
resolved unfavorably to the Company.  The Company has established accruals for
matters that are probable and reasonably estimatable.  Management believes that
any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in
excess of amounts provided will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

</TABLE>

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

Net Sales.  Net sales in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 increased from
the corresponding period of 1994 by $17.9 million, or 30.4%, to $76.7 million.
This increase in net sales reflects both an increase in the volume of sales of
existing products, primarily in the domestic gaming and entertainment markets
and in Japan,  Australia and the Far East, and, to a lesser extent, the
commencement of sales of new products from the kiosk and resistive touchscreen
businesses which were acquired during 1995. Sales to International Business
Machines (IBM) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 accounted for 4.0% of
net sales as compared to 12.1% of net sales for the comparable period of 1994.
The Company cannot predict at this time when or if sales to IBM will return to
former levels.

The 1995 increase in the Company's net sales over the year ended December 31,
1994 reflects a 47.0% increase in net sales from international operations,
compared to a 24.3% increase for domestic net sales.  The relatively greater
increase in international net sales was due primarily to continued sales
penetration in existing markets, especially Japan, as well as the Company's
establishment of sales offices in Germany and France during 1995.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
increased for the corresponding period of 1995 by $5.6 million, or 23.9%, to
$29.0 million.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 37.8% for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 39.7% for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1994.  The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net
sales was largely attributable to continued price competitiveness 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
in the touchscreen market and to a trend in the Company's product sales mix
toward a higher proportion of lower gross profit monitor sales. This higher
monitor mix is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Also, impacting
gross profits as a percentage of net sales in 1995 were sales from kiosk and
resistive membrane operations acquired during the year, both of which experience
lower gross profits as a percentage of net sales than the Company's historical
product lines.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995 increased over the corresponding period of 1994 by $1.6
million, or 47.4%, to $5.0 million.  As a percentage of net sales, research and
development expenses increased from 5.8% for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1994 to 6.6% for the corresponding period of 1995.  The increase in research and
development expenses resulted primarily from development related to the
Company's newly acquired resistive membrane technology and continued development
in the Company's ThruGlass and TouchPen product lines.  The Company expects that
research and development expenses may increase in the future on an absolute
spending basis.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995 increased over the corresponding period of 1994 by $3.4
million, or 40.9%, to $11.6 million.  As a percentage of net sales, sales and
marketing expenses increased from 14.0% for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1994 to 15.1% for the corresponding period of 1995.  The increase in sales and
marketing expenses resulted primarily from the sales and marketing costs
associated with the kiosk and resistive membrane technology acquisitions as well
as the expenses resulting from the opening of two new international sales
offices in France and Germany.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995 increased from the corresponding period of 1994 by
$1.9 million, or 55.7%, to $5.3 million.  As a percentage of net sales, general
and administrative expenses increased from 5.8% for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994 to 6.9% for the corresponding period of 1995.  Ongoing
administrative expenses associated with the recently acquired kiosk and
resistive touchscreen businesses and the expenses associated with expanded
administrative infrastructures in both the Japanese and European operations
accounted for the majority of the increase.

Amortization of Intangibles.  Amortization of intangible costs for the year
ended December 31, 1995 were $381,000.  This represents costs associated with
the Company's 1995 acquisitions of Factura and Touch Technology, as well as
amortization for the earlier acquisitions of Moonstone, Rand Walker and Visage

Write-off of Purchased Technology and Related Assets.  During the second quarter
of 1995, the Company, as a result of an extensive technology review and a
strategic decision to focus on product development in the resistive technology
area rather than the TouchMate technology, recorded a one-time pretax charge of
$1,985,000.  This charge included the write-off of the TouchMate technology and
the writedown of related inventory to net realizable value.

Charge for Purchased In-Process Research and Development and Related Costs.
During the second quarter of 1995, the Company expensed $3,000,000 of costs
associated with in-process research and development projects which were part of
the acquisition of Touch Technology. The development of these projects had not
yet reached technological feasibility and the technology has no alternative
future use.  The technologies acquired in this acquisition have required, and
will require, substantial additional development by the Company.

Operating Income.  Operating income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
of $1.7 million represented a decrease of $6.6 million or 79.7% from the
corresponding period of 1994.  Non-recurring charges related to the write-off of
purchased technology, assets and research and development (discussed above)
represent the majority of the decrease.  Operating income before these charges
would have been $6.7 million, or 8.7% of net sales, compared to $8.2 million, or
14.0% of sales for the corresponding period of 1994, primarily reflecting the
unfavorable effect of the lower gross profit percentage and the higher level of
operating costs required to support expanded operations. Operating losses at the
Company's international operations increased from $331,000 in 1994 to $517,000
in 1995.   This 56.2% increase in the 1995 operating loss from the Company's
international operations, as compared to the 1994 operating loss, resulted
primarily from increased infrastructure costs associated with the Company's
European sales offices, especially in France and Germany. (See Item 8 - Note 6
to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Other Income.  Other income in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 was $2.0
million as compared to $0.8 million for the corresponding period of 1994.  In
1995, other income included $1.9 million in interest income, net of interest
expense, and an insignificant foreign exchange gain.  For the comparable period
of 1994, other income included $0.3 million in interest income, net of interest
expense and $0.5 million in foreign exchange gains and other.  The increase in
interest income is directly attributable to the $43 million raised in the
Company's secondary stock offering in December, 1994.

Arbitration Costs. During 1995 the Company incurred $1,019,000 in arbitration
costs related to its international arbitration versus Nissha (See Item 3, "Legal
Proceedings", page 10). Hearings on this case continued into 1996 and the
Company continued to incur additional abritration costs estimated at $1 million.
If the Company does not prevail, the Company may be required to pay a portion or
all of Nissha's fees and costs, which could be significant, as determined by the
arbitrators in the case. If the Company is successful in its arbitration, the
fair market value of any amount awarded will be recorded as income. A decision
on the merits of the case is anticipated in early 1997.

Restatement of December 31, 1995 Financial Statements. In December 1996, the 
Company restated its December 31, 1995 Financial Statements to reflect Nissha 
arbitration costs as an expense rather than as a charge to stockholders' equity 
representing a cost incurred in connection with a treasury stock transaction.
The following table summarizes the effect on net income and related per share
amounts in 1995.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The Company's effective tax rates for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995 and  1994 were 36.8% and 37.0%, respectively.  The
effective tax rates in both 1995 and 1994 differed from the federal statutory
rate of 34% primarily due to the provision for state income taxes and the
Company's inability to record a tax benefit from certain foreign operating loss
carryforwards, partially offset by the benefit related to the Company's foreign
sales corporation and tax-exempt interest income.


YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

Net Sales.  Net sales in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 increased from
the corresponding period of 1993 by $27.8 million, or 89.6%, to $58.9 million.
The Company experienced growth both domestically and internationally.
International sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 accounted for
35.4% of net sales as compared to 39.4 % of net sales for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1993.   Sales to International Business Machines (IBM) for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 accounted for 12.1% of net sales as compared
to 6.8% of net sales for the comparable period of 1993.  Sales to IBM as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 20.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 1994
to 9.7% in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 and to 5.4% in the quarter ended
December 31, 1994. The Company anticipates that sales to certain high volume
customers, including IBM, will continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis. The
1994 increase in the Company's net sales over the year ended December 31, 1993
reflects a 138.1% increase in net sales from international operations, compared
to a 76.5% increase for domestic net sales.  The relatively greater increase in
international net sales was due primarily to the Company's establishment of
operations in Japan during 1994.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994
increased from the corresponding period of 1993 by $10.9 million, or 86.8%, to
$23.4 million.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 39.7% for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to 40.3% for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1993. The decrease in gross margin percentage is due to a
higher proportion of monitor sales that typically have a lower 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
gross margin percentage than touch screen kits and an increase in sales to high
volume OEM customers, such as IBM, with higher volume price discounts.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1994 increased over the corresponding period of 1993 by $1.4
million, or 65.5%, to $3.4 million.  As a percentage of net sales, research and
development expenses decreased from 6.6% for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1993 to 5.8% for the corresponding period of 1994.  The increase in research and
development expenses resulted primarily from development related to the
Company's new ThruGlass and TouchMate technologies, as well as continued
improvements on the Company's existing touch screen products.  The Company
expects that research and development expenses will increase in the future both
on an absolute and percent of sales basis.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994 increased over the corresponding period of 1993 by $3.5
million, or 72.1%, to $8.2 million.  As a percentage of net sales, sales and
marketing expenses decreased from 15.4% for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1993 to 14.0% for the corresponding period of 1994.  The increased sales and
marketing expenses resulted from the expansion of the Company's direct sales
force, an increase in its product marketing focus with the hiring of several
product marketing managers and an increase in trade show participation.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1994 increased from the corresponding period of 1993 by
$847,000, or 33.0%, to $3.4 million.  As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 8.3% for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1993 to 5.8% for the corresponding period of 1994.  The increase in general
and administrative expenses resulted from spending directly related to the
Company's new operations in Japan and Australia, as well as increased staffing
to support the overall growth of the Company's business.

Operating Income.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1993 as compared to the same period of 1994 increased
from 10.0% to 14.0%, as a result of the factors discussed above. The Company
incurred an operating loss of approximately $331,000 from its international
operations during 1994, compared to operating income of approximately $204,000
from its international operations during 1993.  The change resulted largely from
increased costs associated with the start-up of the Company's Japanese
operations and, to a lesser extent, increased operating expenses resulting from
the start-up of the Company's Australian facility.  (See Item 8 - Note 6 to
Consolidated Financial Statements).

Other Income.  Other income in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 was $0.8
million as compared to $0.3 million in the corresponding period of 1993.  The
increase is primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains, offset by a slight
reduction in interest income, net of interest expense.  The foreign exchange
gains in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 were the result of fluctuations
in the Japanese Yen and the British Pound.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The Company's effective tax rates for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 were 37.0% and 36.0%,
respectively.  The effective tax rate in 1994 differed from the federal
statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the provision for state income taxes and
the Company's inability to benefit from certain foreign operating loss
carryforwards, partially offset by the benefit related to the Company's foreign
sales corporation.  The effective tax rate for 1993 differed from the federal
statutory rate of 34% primarily due to state income taxes, offset by tax exempt
interest income, utilizing loss carryforwards in the U.K., and research and
development tax credits.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 1995, the Company had net working capital of $55,748,000
including approximately $37,213,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.  The Company reported a net cash generated by operating activities
of $3,533,000  for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.  Additionally, the
Company maintains a $3,000,000 bank line of credit.  As of December 31, 1995,
the Company had no borrowings under its bank line of credit.

On February 13, 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of
Factura Composites, Inc. (Factura), a manufacturer of kiosk housings.  Factura,
located in Rochester, New York, specializes in concept-to-completion custom
kiosks and offers a full range of related design and logistical services.
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company purchased
Factura's complete kiosk business including all 

                                       7

<PAGE>
 
operating assets, customer lists and kiosk manufacturing capabilities. The
assets acquired consist primarily of inventory, accounts receivable and fixed
assets offset by the assumption of certain outstanding liabilities of Factura.

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company completed the purchase of certain
assets and technologies of the Touch Technology business of the Graphics
Technology Company, Inc., a leading manufacturer of resistive membrane
touchscreens based in Austin, Texas.  This transaction involved the issuance of
approximately 32,000 shares of the Company's stock and a cash payment of $2.1
million which was made in July 1995.

The Company's capital expenditures were approximately $3,478,000 in 1995.

On August 4, 1995, the Company purchased 22.5 acres of land adjacent to the
Company's Methuen, Massachusetts, facility.  The purchase required cash payments
totaling approximately $1.8 million.

In September 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a repurchase
program of the Company's common stock, not to exceed $10 million.  Through
December 31, 1995, the Company repurchased 516,338 shares at an aggregate cost
of $7,633,000.  These shares will be used for the Company's stock option plan,
employee stock purchase plan and for other corporate purposes, including,
possibly, acquisitions.

Pending operational needs, the Company has invested its cash in investment
grade, short term, interest-bearing securities and preferred stock.  The Company
believes that these cash investments, together with anticipated cash flows from
operations pursuant to its current operating plan, will be sufficient to meet
the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements, at least
through 1997.  While the Company regularly evaluates acquisition candidates,
conducts preliminary discussions regarding acquisitions and intends to pursue
acquisition opportunities available to it, there can be no assurance that any
such acquisition will be made.

The discussion contained in this section as well as elsewhere in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A may contain forward-looking statements based on the
current expectations of the Company's management. Such statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To MicroTouch Systems, Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MicroTouch
Systems, Inc. (a Massachusetts corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1994 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995, as restated. (See Note 10). These consolidated
financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MicroTouch Systems,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, as restated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedule listed in Item 14(a)(2) is
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.  This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states, in all
material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein, in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a)  Nature of the Business

     MicroTouch Systems, Inc. develops, manufactures and sells touch screen-
based systems, including touch sensitive screens, digitizers for pen computers,
ThruGlass products and kiosk systems.

     b)  Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MicroTouch Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company).  All
significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been
eliminated.

     c)  Stock Split

     On October 5, 1994, the Company declared a two-for-one split of its Common
Stock in the form of a stock dividend.  In connection with the stock split,
stockholders of record on October 21, 1994 received one additional share for
each share held on that date.  The distribution of the new shares occurred on
November 1, 1994.  All common stock information, weighted average common and
common equivalent shares outstanding, and net income per share data included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect
this stock split.

     d)  Earnings per Share

     Earnings per share data are computed using the weighted average number of
shares of  common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the
year. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options and are
calculated using the treasury stock method.

     e)  Cash, Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows

     At December 31, 1994 and 1995, cash and cash equivalents included
approximately $41,546,000 and $1,300,000, respectively, of  liquid investments
with original maturities of less than 90 days.  Cash equivalents are stated at
cost which approximates market value.

     f)  Marketable Securities

     Marketable securities consist of investment-grade, federal tax-exempt
municipal bonds and preferred stock.

     On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 addresses
the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have
readily determinable fair market values and for all investments in debt
securities. The Company's financial condition and results of operations were not
materially impacted in 1994 as a result of adopting SFAS No. 115. SFAS No. 115
requires that available-for-sale investments in securities that have readily
determinable fair values be measured at fair value in the accompanying balance
sheet and that unrealized holding gains or losses for these investments be
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.

The aggregate market value, cost basis, and unrealized gains and losses of
securities available for sale, by major security type as of December 31, 1995
are as follows:

     Securities available-for-sale in the accompanying balance sheet at December
31, 1995, include $17,243,000 with contractual maturities of one year or less
and $13,761,000 with contractual maturities of one through five years and
$503,000 with contractual maturities of five to ten years.  Expected maturities
may differ from contractual maturities as a result of the Company's intent to
sell these securities prior to maturity and as a result of call options that
enable the issuer to redeem these securities at an earlier date.

     g)  Inventories

     Inventories, consisting of material, material overhead, labor and
manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market and consist of the following:

     h)  Property and Equipment

     The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-
line method through charges to operations in amounts that allocate the cost of
property and equipment over their estimated useful lives of three to five years.

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  When
property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset cost and
accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or
loss, if any, is included in the results of operations.

     i)  Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment.  Service revenues are
recognized as the services are provided.  The Company provides allowances for
estimated sales returns and bad debts and provides for the estimated cost of
warranty at the time of product shipment.

     j)  Foreign Currency Translation

     The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its foreign
subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at year-end.  Revenues and expenses
are translated using exchange rates in effect during the year.  Gains and losses
from foreign  currency translation are credited or charged to cumulative
translation adjustment included in stockholders' equity in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.  Gains and losses from foreign currency
transactions are included in other income (expense) and amounted to a loss of
approximately $7,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993, a gain of
approximately $387,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 and a gain of
approximately $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     k)  Use of Estimates In Preparation of Financial Statements

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
periods.  Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived
from management's estimates and assumptions.

     SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
which was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 1995, requires that
disclosure be made of estimates of the fair value of each class of financial
instrument.  Financial instruments held by the Company as of December 31, 1995
consist primarily of short-term trade receivables and payables, for which the
carrying amounts approximate fair values, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.

     m)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of," which is to become effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The statement also requires
that certain long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles to be disposed of be
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Management anticipates that the application of the new statement will not have a
significant impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the
Company


2)  LINE OF CREDIT

     The Company has a demand bank line of credit in the amount of $3,000,000
under which the Company may borrow on an unsecured basis at the bank's prime
rate and on a secured basis at a negotiated rate.  There were no amounts
outstanding under this line at December 31, 1994 or 1995.


3)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     a)  Secondary Public Offering

     On December 8, 1994, the Company completed a secondary offering of its
Common Stock and issued 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  On December 22, 1994
an additional 150,000 shares were issued pursuant to the underwriters' over-
allotment option.  The net proceeds to the Company from the offering after
deducting underwriters' commissions and offering expenses were approximately
$42.6 million.

     b)  Equity Incentive Plans

     On April 17, 1992, the stockholders of  the Company approved, effective
January 1, 1992, the 1992 Equity Incentive Plan (the 1992 Plan) which replaces
the Company's 1983 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 1983 Plan).

3)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - (CONTINUED)

The 1992 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options (incentive and non-
qualified), stock appreciation rights (SARs), performance shares or restricted
stock (the Awards) for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of
common stock, including shares that are issuable pursuant to outstanding stock
options under the 1983 Plan.  The Board of Directors has appointed the
Compensation Committee (the Committee) to administer the 1992 Plan.  Awards
under the 1992 Plan are granted at the discretion of the Committee, which shall
determine the eligible persons to whom, and the times at which, Awards shall be
granted, the type of Award to be granted and all other related terms, conditions
and provisions of each Award granted.  In the case of incentive stock options,
the exercise price will not be less than the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of Award.  In the case of non-qualified stock options, the
exercise price will not be less than 50% of the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of the Award.

     The Committee may award SARs in tandem with an option (at or after the
award of the option) or alone and unrelated to an option.  SARs in tandem with
an option shall terminate to the extent that the related option is exercised,
and the related option shall terminate to the extent that the tandem SARs are
exercised.  SARs granted in tandem with options shall have an exercise price of
not less than the exercise price of the related option.

     The Committee may award performance shares and determine the performance
cycles and performance goals.  The value of performance shares will be equal to
the fair market value of the common stock on the date the performance shares are
earned.

     The Committee may award shares of restricted stock and determine the
duration of the restricted period during which, and the conditions under which,
the shares may be forfeited to the Company and the other terms and conditions of
such Awards.  Shares of restricted stock shall be issued for no cash
consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable
law.

     In 1993, options to purchase 200,000 shares were granted to the Company's
Chief Executive Officer under a 10 year performance incentive agreement pursuant
to the 1992 plan.  These options will become exercisable at the end of 10-years
or may become exercisable in various installments based on the achievement of
certain financial milestones over the term of the agreement. As of December 31,
1995, 80,000 shares were exercisable under this grant.

     Options to purchase 763,868 shares of common stock are outstanding under
the 1992 Plan at December 31, 1995 and generally vest at a rate of 25% per year
for four years. At December 31, 1995, no SARs, performance shares or other
restricted stock have been awarded under the 1992 Plan. As of December 31, 1995,
718,568 shares of common stock are available for future awards under the 1992
Plan.

     Effective February 8, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted the 1994
Director Stock Option Plan (the 1994 Plan).  This 1994 Plan was approved by the
stockholders of the Company at the annual stockholders' meeting held on June 16,
1995. The 1994 Plan authorizes the grant of non qualified stock options to all
directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or  any of its
subsidiaries.  An aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock have been
authorized for issuance under the 1994 Plan.  The Board of Directors administers
the 1994 Plan.  Under the terms of the 1994 Plan, each non-employee director,
upon initial election to the Board of Directors, shall receive options to
purchase 10,000 shares of common stock.  In lieu of grants upon election,
current directors received initial grants upon the effective date of the
adoption of the 1994 Plan.  Immediately following the annual meeting of the
stockholders each year, each non-employee director of the Company continuing in
office shall automatically be granted options to purchase 2,500 shares of common
stock.  Options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value
of the underlying common stock and generally vest over time.

3)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - (CONTINUED)

     Options to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock are outstanding under the
1994 Plan at December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, 130,000 shares of
common stock are available for future grants under the 1994 Plan.

     The Company has also granted other non-qualified stock options to purchase
shares of common stock, of which options to purchase 80,000 shares of common
stock are outstanding at December 31, 1995.

     Certain stock options have been granted with exercise prices that were less
than the estimated fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
The aggregate difference of approximately $216,000 between the exercise price
and the estimated fair market value on the date of grant related to these stock
options will be recognized as expense ratably over the appropriate vesting
period, which is generally four years. Compensation expense related to these
stock options totaled approximately $62,000, $55,000 and $27,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995.

The following is a summary of the stock option activity for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995.

     In December 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Stock-Based Compensation,"
which is to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 123 requires that employee stock-based compensation be either recorded
or disclosed at its fair value. Management expects to continue to account for
stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board No. 25 and does not
expect to not adopt the new accounting provisions for stock-based compensation
under SFAS No. 123, but will include the additional required disclosures in the
1996 consolidated financial statements.

     c) Shareholder Rights Plan. In January 1996, the Company adopted a
Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend distribution of one right for
each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record
on January 19, 1996 and authorized the issuance of one right for each share of
the Company's common stock issued between January 19, 1996 and the date on which
the right becomes separable from the common stock. Each right entitles the
shareholders to buy from the Company 1/100 of a share of Series A junior
participating preferred stock, $.10 par value, at a purchase price of $75 per
right. The rights will be exercisable or separable from the common stock until
ten business days after a party acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or
more of the Company's common stock or announces a tender offer for at least 20%
of its common shares outstanding.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)

     The rights are subject to adjustment and may be redeemed by the Company at
a price of $0.01 per rights at any time until the tenth day following the point
at which they become exercisable.  In the event that the Company is acquired in
a merger or other business combination transaction, each right, other than
those held by the acquiring party, will entitle its holders to purchase an
amount of shares of the Company's common stock which equals the exercise price
of the rights divided by one-half of the current market price of the common
stock. The rights will expire, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged, on January
19, 2006, or earlier in certain circumstances.

4)   INCOME TAXES

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes," as of
January 1, 1992.  There was no material effect on the Company's financial
statements due to the adoption of SFAS No. 109.  Provisions for income taxes
recognize the tax effect of all revenue and expense transactions as well as any
changes during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The effects
of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are
reflected in net income in the period in which such changes are enacted.

The components of domestic and foreign income (loss) before the provision for
income taxes are as follows:

     Prepaid income taxes result primarily from using the reserve method of
accounting for inventories, doubtful accounts and sales returns for financial
statement purposes and the direct write-off method for income tax purposes.

1995 are as follows:

     At December 31, 1995, the Company's U.K. subsidiary had approximately
$917,000 of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has established a
valuation allowance to fully reserve against this amount as it currently does
not believe that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize the
tax benefit from these losses.

5)  COMMITMENTS

     a)  Royalty Agreement

     The Company is a party to a licensing agreement in which it has acquired
the rights to various touch screen products and technologies.  The licensing
agreement provides for the payment of royalties based on annual product sales
and sublicensing revenue and includes minimum royalty payment provisions.  The
agreement will be in effect until the expiration of the last-to-expire patents
licensed under this agreement, which is in 2005.

     b)  Lease - Facility

     During 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement expiring in April
2003 under which the Company leases its main operating facility in Methuen,
Massachusetts. In addition to the lease payments, the Company is also
responsible for its share of real estate taxes and operating expenses, as
defined. The Company is also leasing warehouse space in Tewksbury,
Massachusetts, for 18 months ended June, 1996. The Company also leases space at
its operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and Taiwan. Total rent
expense under all leases for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995
was approximately $495,000, $708,000 and $1,200,000, respectively.

     Intercompany transfers to the Company's foreign subsidiaries are transacted
at prices intended to allow the subsidiaries earnings to be comparable to
unaffiliated distributors.  Sales to unaffiliated customers outside the United
States, including U.S. export sales, were approximately $12,243,000 in 1993,
which represented 39% of net sales, $20,820,000 in 1994, which represented 35%
of net sales and $23,748,000 in 1995, which represents 31% of net sales.

     No single customer represented more than 10% of total sales during the year
ended December 31, 1995. One customer comprised approximately 12% of total sales
for the year ended December 31, 1994.

7)   RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

     The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan established in 1993
covering substantially all employees.  Matching company contributions are at the
discretion of the Board of Directors.  Effective April 30, 1993, the Board
authorized matching contributions up to $200 of participants' contributions.
These Company contributions and other expenses of the plan amounted to $13,000
in 1993, $26,000 in 1994 and $33,000 in 1995.

8)   ACQUISITIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES

     During 1994, the Company acquired net assets and technology related to
TouchMate, a remote force sensing technology.  Purchased technology related to
this acquisition was being amortized over a five-year period and was written off
during the second quarter of 1995.

     During 1995, the Company acquired net assets and technology related to
Factura, a kiosk manufacturing operation and Touch Technology, a resistive
membrane touchscreen technology.  Purchased technology related to these
acquisitions is being amortized over a five-year period.

     In connection with the acquisition of Touch Technology, the Company issued
approximately 32,000 shares of common stock and, in July, 1995, made a cash
payment of approximately $2,100,000.  Upon consummation of the purchase, the
Company transferred the technologies to a subsidiary by the name of MicroTouch
Resistive

                                      F-13
<PAGE>
 
                   MICROTOUCH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

Products, Inc.  This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the assets
and results of operations incorporated into the Company's financial statements
as of the date of acquisition.  It is the intention of the Company to further
develop and improve these resistive membrane technologies and to manufacture and
sell the related products to end users.

     As a result of the Touch Technology acquisition, the Company recorded a
non-recurring pre-tax charge of $3,000,000 for purchased research and
development in process.  Projects pursuant to this research and development had
not yet reached technological feasibility and the technology had no alternative
future use.  The Company also completed a review of existing technology
investments to ensure proper valuation on the financial statements in relation
to the acquisition of resistive technologies.  As a result of this review, the
Company recorded an additional non-recurring pre-tax charge of $1,985,000
primarily related to the write-off of TouchMate technology acquired from Visage,
Inc. in June, 1994 and the write-down of related inventory to net realizable
value.

9)   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is involved in an international arbitration entitled MicroTouch
Systems, Inc. v. Nissha Printing Co. Ltd. ("Nissha"), which is currently pending
in London, England, under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce
("ICC"). The case is based on the Company's claims that Nissha breached non-
competition provisions and other terms of a distribution agreement between the
company and Nissha. The Company is seeking as its primary remedy, the repurchase
(at par value) of shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Nissha, as well
as other remedies. No counterclaims have been filed against the Company. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had incurred approximately $1.0 million of
arbitration costs in pursuing this matter.

The arbitration case against Nissha is nearing its conclusion. The Company has
been advised that the arbitrators hearing the case have reached a decision and
submitted the decision to the ICC's Court of Arbitration in Paris for review
under ICC procedures. The Court of Arbitration is scheduled to review the
decision at its next meeting to be held between January 22 and 24, 1997 and the
Company expects to be promptly advised of the decision after that meeting.

If the Company prevails in the case, a hearing to determine the damages, to
which the Company may be entitled, will be scheduled after the decision is
announced. If the Company does not prevail, its arbitration costs will have been
fully expensed, however, the Company may be required to pay a portion or all of
Nissha's fees and costs, which could be significant, as determined by the
arbitrators in the case. If the Company is successful in its arbitration, the 
fair market value of any amount awarded will be recorded as income.
 
The Company is also subject to various investigations, claims and legal 
proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course 
of its business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various 
uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved 
unfavorably to the Company. The Company has established accruals for matters 
that are probable and reasonably estimatable. Management believes that any 
liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in 
excess of amounts provided will not have a material adverse effect on the 
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

10)   RESTATEMENT OF DECEMBER 31, 1995 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     In December 1996, the Company restated its December 31, 1995 Financial
Statements to reflect Nissha arbitration costs as an expense rather than as a
charge to stockholders' equity representing a cost incurred in connection with a
treasury stock transaction. The following table summarizes the effect on net
income and related per share amounts.
