         As of September 30, 1997, the Company had a total of 364 control
systems in the field, distributed as follows: 209 Business Express(TM) control
systems, 42 Copy Express(TM) control systems, 36 Debit Express(TM) control
systems, 20 Fax/Printer Express(TM) control systems, and 57 Public PC(TM)
control systems located at various hotels and libraries throughout the United
States and Canada.

2.       Accounting Policies
         -------------------

         Interim Financial Information

         The financial statements and disclosures included herein for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and for the date of inception
through September 30, 1997 are unaudited. These financial statements and
disclosures have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments consisting of
adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position and the results of its operations and cash flows.

         Basis of Presentation

         Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.



                                       5
<PAGE>

         Inventory

         Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market.

         Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over three to seven years for financial
statement purposes and accelerated methods for income tax reporting purposes.

         Revenue Recognition

         Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon installation
and customer acceptance of the related equipment. License fee revenue is
recognized upon the usage of the Company's credit card activated control
systems.

         Loss per Common Share

         Loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods. No exercise of stock
options, purchase rights, stock purchase warrants, or the conversion of
preferred stock and cumulative preferred dividends was assumed because the
exercise or conversion of these securities would be antidilutive. The
President's 4,365,000 common shares held in escrow (Note 4) are not considered
outstanding for purposes of calculating the loss per common share for all
periods presented.

            In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on
December 31, 1997. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings
per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact
of Statement No, 128 on the calculation of the Company's primary and fully
diluted earnings per share is not expected to be material.


3.       Stock Options and Purchase Rights
         ---------------------------------

         As of September 30, 1997, there was a total of 157,300 Common Stock
purchase rights outstanding at a price of $1.00 per share. As of September 30,
1997 there was a total of 3,951,000 options outstanding to purchase Common
Stock at exercise prices ranging from $.25 to $.50 per share, of which
3,338,500 were vested. All of the options and purchase rights granted were
issued at or above fair market value on the date of grant.

         During September, 1997, 70,000 Common Stock options were exercised at
$.05 per option and, accordingly, the Company received $3,500 in gross proceeds.

                                       6
<PAGE>


4.       Escrow and Cancellation Arrangements
         ------------------------------------

         At the request of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, the
President agreed to place in escrow 7,593,000 shares, as adjusted. The
President's shares may be held in escrow through June 30, 1998. Additionally,
the President of the Company has agreed that 4,365,000 escrowed common shares
would be canceled by the Company and would no longer be issued and outstanding
unless certain performance measures, as specified by the Commission, are
achieved by June 30, 1998. If the performance measures are achieved, the
common shares released from escrow will result in a compensatory charge to the
Company's operations. The charge will be based on the fair value of the
Company's common shares on the date the shares are released from escrow.
During the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, there was no such
charge to operations. The 4,365,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the
President and subject to cancellation are not considered outstanding for
purposes of calculating the loss per common share for all periods presented.


 5.      Joint Venture
         -------------

         On September 24, 1997, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
 Agreement with Mail Boxes Etc. ("MBE"), the leading franchisor of postal,
 business, and communications retail service centers, with approximately 3,000
 locations in North America. The joint venture shall exclusively sell and
 market unattended, credit card activated business centers under the name MBE 
 Business Express(TM) to the hospitality industry, travel industry, convention 
 centers, colleges, universities, supermarkets, banks, military, convenience 
 stores, and mass merchandisers located in the United States. The gross profits 
 from any sales of the MBE Business Express(TM) are to be shared by the Company 
 and MBE. In addition, other revenues resulting from activities relating to the 
 MBE Business Express(TM), such as electronic commerce, licensing, marketing and
 advertising, are to be split equally between MBE and the Company. MBE has
 agreed not to sell, use, endorse, approve, or purchase any unattended, credit
 card activated technology or terminals other than those offered by the
 Company for use in connection with the equipment included in the MBE Business
 Express(TM). The Company and MBE will agree from time to time on an
 advertising and marketing budget which would cover anticipated expenses for
 trade shows, trade advertising, direct mail, telemarketing, national account
 coverage, merchandising, market research and lead generation. All such
 expenses would be split equally between the Company and MBE. The Company is
 to act as the merchant for all MBE Business Express(TM) business centers and 
 will receive a monthly service fee for each terminal. The initial term of the
 joint venture is five years. If certain sales goals are not met by the joint
 venture, the Company may terminate the exclusivity provisions of the
 agreement after the second year.

          The MBE Business Express(TM) bundles together the same components as 
the Business Express(TM): Public PC(TM), Copy Express(TM), and Fax Express(TM),
but under the MBE brand name. In addition, the MBE Business Express(TM) would 
include a dial-through service to a nearby MBE store making available the 
products and services of the store.


                                       7
<PAGE>

          MBE has ordered 195 TransAct(TM) control boxes from the Company to
be used by MBE franchisees for their in-store computer workstations (computer
and printer). The Company will act as the merchant in connection with credit
card sales and will receive a monthly service fee for each terminal. Through
September 30, 1997, none of these control boxes have been shipped. Through
November 5, 1997, 39 of these control boxes have been shipped, and the Company
anticipates that the remainder of the 195 control boxes will be shipped prior
to the end of November, 1997.

Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

Introduction

         Since its inception in January 1992, the Company, a development stage
corporation, has been engaged largely in research and development activities
focused on designing, developing, and marketing its credit card activated
control systems. From inception through September 30, 1997, the Company has
had operating revenues of approximately $1 million and has generated funds
primarily through the sale of its securities. As of September 30, 1997, the
Company has received, net of expenses of such sales, the amount of $5,487,636
in connection with private placements, $2,063,887 from the exercise of Common
Stock purchase warrants, and $2,345,104 in connection with its initial public
offering. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception
through September 30, 1997 of $10,024,195 and such losses are expected to
continue at least through June 30, 1998.

Results of Operations

         The fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1997 resulted in a net
operating loss of $660,524 compared to a net loss of $672,326 for the
comparable fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996. On an overall basis these
continuing losses reflect the development stage nature of the Company. Losses
are projected to continue until sufficient revenue is generated from various
applications of the Company's proprietary technology.

         Revenue from operations was $363,755 compared to $39,268 from the
previous year's fiscal quarter. This $324,487 improvement reflects the
Company's revised strategy during fiscal year 1997 of selling its proprietary
equipment as opposed to relying primarily on licensing and transaction
processing revenues. Of the total revenues, equipment sales totaled $310,311,
an increase of $291,420 over the same period last year. Licensing and
processing revenue increased to $44,102 from $20,244 for the same period
during the prior year, an increase of 118%. Despite this modest increase and
change in approach to marketing its products, revenue is still well below the
level required for the Company to be profitable.

         Cost of Sales for the period included labor and equipment of $292,640
which represented an increase of $278,889 over the same period during the
prior year, and is directly attributable to the increase in equipment sales.

         General and administrative expenses of $401,137 decreased by $45,534
or 10.2% from the first quarter last year. Reduced travel and entertainment
and rent contributed to the decrease.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         Compensation expense of $307,217 increased by 29% due to permanent
and higher staffing levels in Sales and Operations. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased from $23,261 to $25,497 reflecting the
increased depreciable capital asset base.


Plan of Operations

         As of September 30, 1997 the Company had a total of 364 credit card
activated control systems installed in the field as follows: Business
Express(TM) 209, Copy Express(TM) 42,  Debit Express(TM) 36, Public PC (formerly
Credit Card Computer Express(TM)) 57,Fax/Printer Express(TM) 20. The total gross
license fee revenues received by the Company from these systems has been 
increasing but is still well below the level required to achieve profitability.

         During the past year the Company has refined its direction on new
product development. It has shifted its emphasis toward the sale of equipment
utilizing the company's control systems rather than the revenue sharing
arrangements previously employed. The Company still retains all rights to
software and proprietary technology which it licenses to location operators
for their exclusive use. This shift in approach reduces the Company's
dependency on licensing revenues and simultaneously reduces the Company's
capital asset requirements.

         The Company completed development of the Business Express(TM) in
August 1996 and as of September 30, 1997 had 63 sites in operation containing
209 of the Company's control systems. The Company is marketing its products
through its full-time sales staff consisting of four persons, either directly
to customer locations or through facility management companies servicing these
locations.

         On September 24, 1997, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement with Mail Boxes Etc. ("MBE"), the leading franchisor of postal,
business, and communications retail service centers, with approximately 3,000
locations in North America. The joint venture shall exclusively sell and
market unattended, credit card activated business centers under the name MBE 
Business Express(TM) to the hospitality industry, travel industry, convention 
centers, colleges, universities, supermarkets, banks, military, convenience 
stores, and mass merchandisers located in the United States. In addition, MBE 
has ordered 195 TransAct(TM) control boxes from the Company to be used by MBE 
franchises for their in-store computer workstations. As of November 5, 1997, 39 
of these control boxes have been shipped.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         For the three month period ended September 30, 1997, there was a net
decrease in cash of $327,923. This was attributable to using $705,707 for
operating activities, partially offset by $381,979 net proceeds raised through
the issuance of Common Stock. As of September 30, 1997, total cash on hand was
$302,343; working capital was approximately $357,541 of which $393,255 was
invested in inventory.

                                      10
<PAGE>

         On September 11, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors decided to
maintain the exercise price of the 1996-B and 1997 Common Stock Warrants at
$.20 through September 30, 1997 (rather than only through August 31, 1997 as
previously provided). During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, 224,000
1996-B and 1,529,200 1997 Common Stock purchase warrants were exercised for
gross proceeds to the Company of $350,640. On November 13, 1997, the Company's
Board of Directors decided to maintain the exercise price of the 1996-B and
1997 Common Stock Warrants at $.20 through October 31, 1997 (rather than
September 30, 1997 as revised above). Through October 31, 1997, exercise of
1996-B and 1997 Common Stock purchase warrants provided additional gross
proceeds of $39,960 to the Company.

         On September 11, 1997, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in
the exercise price of the 1995 and 1996 Common Stock warrants from $.50 to
$.25 during the period of September 11, 1997 through October 31, 1997. This
resulted in the exercise of 40,000 1996 Common Stock purchase warrants for
gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000 during the quarter ended September
30, 1997. From October 1, 1997 to October 31, 1997, exercise of 1995 and 1996
Warrants provided additional gross proceeds of $214,938 to the Company.

         The Company believes that the above warrant proceeds, together with
money available from the exercise of options and warrants, and increased
revenues from its business would be sufficient to fund operations through June
30, 1998. There can be no assurance that additional sales of securities could
be made by the Company or that increased revenues would result from its
business. In such event, the Company may cease to be a going concern or may
have to reduce its operations or operating procedures.

Part II - Other information

Items 1, 3, 4, and 6 are not applicable.

Item 2.  Unregistered Equity Securities Sold by the Registrant

         During September 1997, the holder of options exercised such options
for 70,000 shares of Common Stock at $.05 per share for an aggregate purchase
price of $3,500. Such shares of Common Stock are restricted securities under
the Act and were issued under the exemption from registration set forth in
Section 4(2) of the Act.


Item 5.  Other Information

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the holders of $430,000
of the $500,000 of Convertible Securities which were issued by the Company in
June 1997 converted their Convertible Securities into 1,568,517 shares of
Common Stock, and $70,000 of Convertible Securities remain outstanding.

         In connection with the issuance of such Convertible Securities, the
Company had issued 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in escrow so that such
shares would be available to the holders of the Convertible Securities upon
conversion thereof. Following the conversions referred to above, an aggregate
of 350,000 shares remain in escrow.

         At June 30, 1997, all 2,500,000 shares held in escrow were considered
issued and outstanding as Common Stock.
