                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1996

(1)  Nature of Business
     ------------------

     MicroTouch Systems, Inc. develops, manufactures and sells touch sensitive
input systems including touch-sensitive screens, digitizers for pen computers
and kiosk enclosures.

(2)  Consolidated Financial Statements
     ---------------------------------

     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.

(3)  Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
     -----------------------------------------

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1996 and
for the three- month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 include the accounts
of the Company, and have not been audited by independent public accountants;
however, these statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of March 31, 1996, and the results of operations and cash
flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The results of
operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

     These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures
associated with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly,
should be read in conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1995.

(4)  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.


(5)  Restatement of Prior Periods Financial Statements
     -------------------------------------------------

     In December 1996, the Company restated its December 31, 1995 and March 31, 
1996 and 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.

</TABLE>


NET SALES  Net sales in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased over the
corresponding period of 1995 by $2,250,000 or 12.0%.  The increase in net sales
was largely due to increased sales to gaming and entertainment customers and to
sales from kiosk and resistive touchscreen businesses acquired during 1995.
International sales accounted for 33.5% of net sales for the period, increased
slightly from 32.7% in the first quarter of 1995, reflecting increased sales
volume to Europe and Japan.  Sales to IBM accounted for 5.2% of the Company's
net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 8.5% of sales for
the comparable period of 1995.  The Company cannot predict at this time when, or
if, sales to IBM will return to former levels.

GROSS PROFIT  Gross profit in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased from
the corresponding period of 1995 by $453,000 or 6.1% to $7,926,000.  However, as
a percentage of net sales, gross profit declined from 39.7% in the first quarter
of 1995 to 37.6% in the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease in gross profit as
a percentage of net sales reflects increased competitive price pressures in the
touchscreen industry as well as the impact of sales of kiosks and resistive
touchscreens, 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 quarter
ended March 31, 1996 increased over the corresponding period of 1995 by $439,000
or 40.9%.  As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses
increased from 5.7% in the first quarter of 1995 to 7.2% in the first quarter of
1996.  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 Prospector
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 in the quarter ended March 31,
1996 increased over the corresponding period of 1995 by $802,000 or 32.4%, to
$3,274,000.  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 two new
international sales offices that the Company opened in France and Germany in mid
May, 1995.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE  General and administrative expenses in the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 increased from the corresponding period of 1995 by $130,000
or 10.5% to $1,364,000.  As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 6.6% for the first quarter of 1995 to
6.5% for the first quarter of 1996.  The increased spending primarily reflects
the ongoing administrative expenses associated with the Factura kiosk business
acquired during 1995 as well as increased legal expenses.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS  For the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
operating expenses included $111,000 of amortization relating to various
acquisitions and purchases of technologies, as compared to $88,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.

OPERATING INCOME  Operating income in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 decreased
from the corresponding period of 1995 by $941,000 or 36.1% to $1,665,000.  As a
percentage of net sales, operating income declined from 13.9% in the first
quarter of 1995 to 7.9% for the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease in
operating income reflects the lower gross profit percentage and the higher level
of operating costs required to support expanded operations, discussed above.
Domestic operations accounted for 98.6% of operating income in the first quarter
of 1996.  In the first quarter of 1995, international operations showed a net
loss reflecting the expenses associated with the opening of two new sales
offices in France and Germany.  These increased expenses were more than offset
by increasing sales volume in Europe and Japan in the first quarter of 1996.

OTHER INCOME  Other income in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 decreased from
that of the corresponding period of 1995 by $528,000 or 63.6% to $302,000.
Other income in the first quarter of 1995 included $304,000 in foreign currency
exchange gains, attributable to fluctuations in both the Japanese Yen and the
British Pound Sterling.  Foreign currency exchange losses in the first quarter
of 1996 were $6,000.  Interest income, net of interest expenses, on the
investment of the Company's cash and investment portfolio for the first quarter
of 1996 was $308,000, compared to $455,000 for the first quarter of 1995,
reflecting a decrease in the Company's cash portfolio.

ARBITRATION COSTS During the first quarter of 1996, the Company incurred
$127,000 in arbitration costs and will continue to incur arbitration costs
related to its international arbitration versus Nissha Printing Company Ltd.,
("NISSHA") as compared to $269,000 in the first quarter of 1995. A decision on
the merits of the case is anticipated by early 1997. If the Company does not
prevail, the Company may be required to pay a portion or all of Nissha's fees
and costs, whch 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 at that time.

RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIODS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  In December 1996, the Company
restated its December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 and 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 share amounts.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES  The Company's effective tax rates were 36.5% and
37.6%, in the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The effective tax
rates in both periods differed from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily
as a result of the provision for state income taxes and the inability of the
company 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.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1996, the Company had net working capital of $55,831,000,
including approximately $36,334,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.  The Company reported net cash generated by operating activities of
$642,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  Additionally, the Company
maintains a $3,000,000 bank line of credit.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company
had no borrowings under its bank line of credit.

In September, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a one year
repurchase program of the Company's common stock, not to exceed $10 million.
Through March 31, 1996 the Company repurchased approximately 552,000 shares at
an aggregate cost of $8,119,000.  These shares have been and will continue to be
used for the Company's equity incentive plan, employee stock purchase plan and
for other corporate purposes, including possible 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.

Q, 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 materially from those
