                RECOGNITION INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared
         in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include
         all of the information and note disclosures required by generally
         accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
         in Recognition's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October
         31, 1993.  The accompanying financial statements have not been
         examined by independent accountants in accordance with generally
         accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management such
         financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring
         nature necessary to fairly present Recognition's financial position,
         results of operations and cash flows.  The results of operations for
         the three months ended January 31, 1994 may not be indicative of the
         results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 1994.

(2)      Certain amounts in the 1993 financial statements have been
         reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation.

(3)      At January 31, 1994, Recognition was contingently liable for
         approximately $2,020,000 under letters of credit issued primarily to
         customers in connection with sales contracts.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Working capital at January 31, 1994 was $72.7 million, a decrease of
$2.4 million compared to October 31, 1993.  The decrease was a result of a
decrease in current assets of $14.3 million, offset by a decrease in current
liabilities of $11.9 million.

         The decrease in current assets was due primarily to a decrease in cash
and cash equivalents of $16.3 million (see Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows).  Accounts receivable decreased $2.2 million reflecting payments
received on several large receivables outstanding at October 31, 1993.  These
decreases were partially offset by increases in inventories and other current
assets of $2.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively.  The increase in
inventories is primarily due to purchases in anticipation of future shipments.
Other current assets increased primarily due to prepaid expenses.

         The decrease in current liabilities included a $2.6 million decrease
in domestic and foreign income taxes primarily due to payments of 1993 taxes by
certain foreign subsidiaries.  Accrued compensation and benefits decreased $3.7
million primarily due to the payment of 1993 annual performance bonuses.
Advance payments by customers decreased $2.8 million due to revenues recorded
in the first quarter of 1994 for which payment was received in 1993.  Accrued
and other current liabilities decreased $3.5 million primarily due to payments
related to restructuring and to sales and property taxes accrued at October 31,
1993.

         At January 31, 1994, Recognition had $37.6 million of cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments, of which $4.9 million was pledged as
collateral or otherwise committed to secure certain guarantees and a foreign
bank loan.  Recognition has a revolving credit facility for up to $25.0
million.  The facility contains covenants including maintenance of certain
financial ratios, net worth requirements, and restrictions on future borrowings
and payment of dividends.  Obligations under the facility are secured by a lien
on substantially all of Recognition's assets, excluding its real estate.  At
January 31, 1994, letters of credit of $1.5 million were outstanding under the
facility, which reduced  the amount of credit available to $23.5 million.

         Recognition believes it has sufficient cash, including amounts
available under the credit facility, to meet its operating and capital
requirements for fiscal year 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED
                        JANUARY 31, 1994 AND 1993

         Consolidated revenues were $50.3 million in the first quarter of 1994,
an increase of three percent, or $1.3 million, as compared to the first quarter
of 1993.  Revenues from equipment products and services were $39.5 million in
1994, a decrease of $3.2 million, or eight percent, as compared to 1993.
Revenues from software products and services, including Plexus(R) software
products and software sold in conjunction with equipment, were $10.9 million in
1994.  This represented an increase of $4.5 million, or 71 percent, as compared
to 1993.

         The increase in consolidated revenues reflected an increase of $4.0
million, or 26 percent, in foreign revenues partially offset by a decrease of
$2.7 million, or eight percent, in domestic revenues.  Foreign operations
contributed 38 percent of the first quarter of 1994 revenues compared to 31
percent in the first quarter of 1993.

         Product revenues from equipment and software decreased 13 percent, or
$2.6 million, compared to the first quarter of 1993.  Revenues from equipment
were $12.4 million in 1994, a decrease of 24 percent, or $3.9 million.  This
reflected decreased revenues from document recognition products, offset
partially by increased revenues from the delivery and installation of network
products under major contracts in Canada.  Revenues from software products were
$5.8 million in 1994, an increase of 30 percent, or $1.3 million.

         Customer service revenues increased 14 percent, or $3.9 million, when
compared to the first quarter of 1993.  Equipment related service revenues were
$27.1 million in 1994, an increase of three percent, or $.7 million.  Software
service revenues related to both Plexus products and software sold in
conjunction with equipment were $5.1 million in 1994, an increase of 165
percent, or $3.2 million.

         Consolidated gross profit in the first quarter of 1994 was $18.5
million, up $.4 million from the first quarter of 1993.  Product gross profit
was $6.1 million, or 34 percent of revenues, in 1994 compared to $9.5 million,
or 46 percent, in 1993.  This decline was attributed to four primary factors:
the unfavorable impact of fixed manufacturing expenses on gross profit margins
due to the lower revenues from document recognition products; a larger
percentage of product revenues from lower gross profit margin contracts for
network products in Canada; increased revenues from sales of lower gross profit
margin third party software products; and revenues from certain contracts which
required additional product customization resulting in lower gross profit
margins.  Customer service gross profit increased $3.8 million primarily as a
result of revenues from custom software development and additional service
revenues from services on recently installed equipment and





                                       6
<PAGE>   9
software which were performed by existing staff without increased expense.

         Recognition's system business is undergoing a transition from older,
closed architecture products to newer, open architecture products.  Revenues
from the older products declined more than anticipated in the first quarter and
may continue at lower levels for the next several quarters until replaced by
revenues from the newer products. Some of these newer products are being
marketed to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Gross profit margins on
OEM revenues, as well as sales and marketing expenses, are generally lower than
those on end-user revenues. Recognition expects lower customer service revenues
from OEM products, as end-users will typically obtain equipment maintenance
services from the OEM. Recognition is marketing its maintenance services for
products manufactured by other companies to generate additional customer
service revenues.

         The provision for income taxes for 1994 and 1993 was a result of
income earned by certain foreign entities with relatively high effective tax
rates while no tax benefits were available to entities which recorded losses
for the three months.
