SEWING MACHINE EXCHANGE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 1996

     NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Sewing Machine Exchange, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 1,
1964 in the state of Illinois for the purpose of  distributing,  modifying,  and
servicing  computerized  embroidery  equipment,  sewing and cutting machines and
parts.  The Company grants credit to customers in the garment  industry  located
primarily in 11 midwestern states.

     On June 7, 1996,  the Company was  acquired by Hirsch  International  Corp.
("Hirsch")  in  a  transaction  accounted  for  under  the  purchase  method  of
accounting. The Company's two stockholders received approximately $8.69 million,
payable by delivery of two  promissory  notes  aggregating  $8,500,000 and 9,375
shares of Hirsch  common  stock in exchange  for all of the  outstanding  common
stock of the  Company.  Concurrent  with the  acquisition,  Hirsch  entered into
five-year employment contracts with the stockholders and all previously existing
employment contracts between the stockholders and the Company were terminated.

     In  connection  with the  acquisition,  all amounts  outstanding  under the
Company's  demand note (as  discussed in Note 6A) were repaid,  and the personal
guarantees of the stockholders were released.

     The accompanying financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments
related to the purchase agreement.

     NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (A) Revenue  Recognition  - The Company  distributes  embroidery  equipment
which it offers for sale.  Revenue  related to the sale of equipment is recorded
at the time of shipment.

     The  Company's  customer  support  services  include  training,   technical
support,  warranty  and  maintenance  services.  Service  revenues and costs are
recognized when services are provided.  Revenue on service maintenance contracts
is  recognized  over the term of the  contract.  Sales of computer  hardware and
software are recognized  when shipped  provided that no  significant  vendor and
post-contract  and  support  obligations  remain  and  collection  is  probable.
Warranty costs associated with products sold with warranty  protection,  as well
as other vendor and post-contract  support  obligations,  are estimated based on
the Company's  historical  experience  and recorded in the period the product is
sold.

     (B) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company provides an allowance for
doubtful accounts determined by a specific identification of individual accounts
and a general  reserve to cover other accounts  based on historical  experience.
The  Company  writes  off  receivables  upon   determination   that  no  further
collections are probable.

                                        8

<PAGE>



     (C)  Inventories - Inventories  consisting of machines and parts are stated
at the lower of cost or market.  Cost for  machinery is  determined  by specific
identification and for all other items on a first-in,  first-out basis. Reserves
are established to record  provisions for slow moving  inventories in the period
in which it becomes  reasonably  evident that the product is not saleable or the
market value is less than cost.

     (D)  Property,  Plant and  Equipment - Property,  plant and  equipment  are
stated at cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization.  Capitalized
values of property  under leases are amortized over the life of the lease or the
estimated life of the asset,  whichever is less.  Depreciation  and amortization
are  provided  on the  straight-line  or  declining  balance  methods  over  the
following estimated useful lives:

</TABLE>

     (E)  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  - In  March  1995,  the  Financial
Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
No. 121 ("SFAS 121"),  "Accounting  For the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and
For  Long-Lived  Assets To Be  Disposed  Of".  SFAS 121  establishes  accounting
standards  for  the  impairment  of  long-lived  assets,   certain  identifiable
intangibles,  and goodwill  related to those assets to be held and used, and for
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.

     In accordance  with SFAS 121, the Company  reviews its  long-lived  assets,
including  property,  plant and  equipment  and  identifiable  intangibles,  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying  amount  of the  assets  may not be  fully  recoverable.  To  determine
recoverability of its long-lived  assets,  the Company evaluates the probability
that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges,  will be less
than the carrying  amount of the assets.  Impairment  is measured at fair value.
The  adoption  of SFAS 121 had no  material  effect on the  Company's  financial
statements.

     (F) Income Taxes - The Company,  with the consent of its stockholders,  has
elected,  under the Internal  Revenue Code, to be an S  corporation.  In lieu of
corporation  income taxes,  the  stockholders  of an S corporation  are taxed on
their  proportionate  share  of the  Company's  taxable  income.  Therefore,  no
provision  or  liability  for federal  income  taxes has been  included in these
financial statements.

     (G)  Use  of  Estimates  -  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                        9

     (H) Fair Value of Financial  Instruments  - Financial  instruments  consist
primarily of investments in cash,  trade account  receivables,  accounts payable
and debt  obligations.  At April  30,  1996,  the  fair  value of the  Company's
financial instruments approximated the carrying value.

issued on the Company's behalf.  See Note 7 for letters of credit issued as
of April 30, 1996. The note requires  monthly  interest  payments at an interest
rate of 1/2 percent over the prime rate (8.75 percent as of April 30, 1996). The
debt is secured  by  substantially  all of the  Company's  assets  and  personal
guarantees  of the  stockholders.  This  demand  note was repaid  subsequent  to
year-end,  and the personal  guarantees of the stockholders  were released.  See

     Rent  expense was  approximately  $125,000  (exclusive  of rent paid to the
Company's two stockholders--see Note 7F) for the year ended April 30, 1996.

     (B)  Employee  Benefit  Plans - The Company has a profit  sharing  plan for
which  employees are eligible based upon their length of service.  Contributions
to the plan are  made at the  discretion  of the  Board  of  Directors,  but are
limited to the maximum deduction  allowable under the Internal Revenue Code. The
Company also  maintains a 401(k) plan which  provides for salary  reductions and
for partial employee  matching funds or contributions to the plan. The Company's
contribution to the plan was $84,000 for the year ended April 30, 1996.

     (C) Litigation - The Company is a defendant in various litigation  matters,
all arising in the normal course of business. Based upon discussion with Company
counsel,  management  does not expect  that these  matters  will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

     (D) Stock Repurchase  Agreements - Under the terms of an agreement  between
its two  stockholders,  upon the death of either  stockholder,  the  Company  is
required to purchase from the estate all shares then owned at an aggregate price
equal to 150  percent  of the  book  value of  those  shares.  Proceeds  of life
insurance  on the  lives of the  stockholders  is to be used to  repurchase  the
shares;  if  insurance  proceeds  are not  sufficient  to cover the price of the
shares,  the balance may be paid over a five-year period. At April 30, 1996, the
aggregate  purchase  price for each  stockholder  would have been  approximately
$880,000. The amount of life insurance in effect is approximately $1,100,000 for
one stockholder and approximately  $850,000 for the other. These agreements were
terminated in connection with the acquisition (See Note 1).

     (E)  Dependency  Upon Major  Suppliers - During the fiscal year ended April
30, 1996, the Company made purchases of approximately  $9,600,000 and $5,300,000
from Melco Industries,  Inc.  ("Melco") and Tajima  Industries Ltd.  ("Tajima"),
respectively,  the  manufacturers  of certain  of the  embroidery  machines  the
Company sells.  This amounted to approximately 49 and 27 percent,  respectively,
of the Company's total purchases for the years ended April 30, 1996.

     The Melco  Agreement  expires on December  31,  1999;  however,  it will be
automatically  renewed for three-year  intervals thereafter unless 180-day prior
written  notice  is given by either  party.  The Melco  Agreement,  among  other
things,  establishes certain sales performance  objectives for the Company which
are  established  on an annual  calendar  year basis.  The Company met its sales
performance objective for the calendar year ended December 31, 1995.

     The  Company  has  a  distributorship  agreement  with  Melco  (the  "Melco
Agreement")  which  provides the Company with the exclusive  right to distribute
Melco products in 11 midwestern states.

                                       12

<PAGE>



     The  Company has a  distributorship  agreement  with  Tajima  (the  "Tajima
Agreement")  which  provides the Company with the exclusive  right to distribute
Tajima's products in seven midwestern states. The Tajima Agreement in terminable
by Tajima  and/or  the  Company if a default,  as defined in the  Agreement,  by
either party occurs. The Tajima Agreement is renewable in one-year terms and has
been renewed through  February 1997. The Tajima  Agreement,  among other things,
establishes  certain  annual minimum  purchase  quotas for the Company which are
established on an annual basis. The minimum purchase of embroidery  machines for
the period February 1995 through February 1996 was met.

     Concurrently  with the  acquisition  of the Company by Hirsch (see Note 1),
the Company's Tajima Agreement was combined with Hirsch's  agreement with Tajima
and was effectively extended through February 2005.

     There are several manufacturers of multihead embroidery equipment. Although
management  of the Company  believes  that the  likelihood  of the loss of Melco
and/or  Tajima as a supply source is remote,  if Melco and/or Tajima  terminated
the current distributor relationship with the Company,  management believes that
it could establish a similar arrangement with another manufacturer of embroidery
equipment.

     (F) Related Party  Transactions - The Company leases its principle facility
located in Chicago,  Illinois from the Company's two stockholders.  Rent expense
paid to the stockholders was approximately $142,000 for the year ended April 30,
1996. In conjunction  with the acquisition of the Company by Hirsch as discussed
in Note 1, the lease was  terminated,  and a new lease was entered  into between
Hirsch and the stockholders.  The new lease expires on June 7, 1998 and requires
monthly rent payments of $8,800.

     (G) Standby Letter of Credit - At April 30, 1996, the Company had a standby
letter of credit in the amount of $750,000 (see Note 6A).

HIRSCH INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(UNAUDITED)

     On June 7, 1996, Hirsch International Corp.  ("Hirsch") acquired all of the
outstanding  capital  stock of  Sewing  Machine  Exchange,  Inc.  ("SMX").  This
acquisition will be accounted for by Hirsch as a purchase and  accordingly,  the
acquired assets and assumed liabilities will be recorded at their estimated fair
market  values at the date of  acquisition.  The cost in excess of fair value of
SMX will be recorded as goodwill. The purchase price was $8.69 million,  payable
by delivery of a promissory  note in the  principal  amount of $4.25  million to
each of the two  shareholders  of SMX and by delivery of an  aggregate  of 9,375
shares  of the  Company's  Class A Common  Stock.  Pursuant  to the terms of the
promissory  notes, the Company was required to make a principal  payment on each
note in the  amount of $2.5  million on June 13,  1996 with the  balance of each
note ($1.75 million)  payable in 60 equal monthly  installments of principal and
interest  beginning July 7, 1996.  Concurrent with the acquisition,  the Company
entered into five-year employment contracts with SMX's former shareholders.

     On June 10, 1996,  Hirsch  entered into a term loan  agreement  with a bank
(the "Term Loan Agreement") pursuant to which the bank lent $7,500,000 to Hirsch
to fund the acquisition of SMX and to repay SMX's credit facilities. The loan is
repayable in twenty (20) equal quarterly  installments of principle and interest
(LIBOR plus 100 basis points) beginning September 30, 1996.

     The following  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet as of April
30, 1996 and the unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statements of income for the
year ended  January  31,  1996 and the three  months  ended  April 30, 1996 give
effect to the  purchase  by  Hirsch  of the  stock of SMX as if the  transaction
occurred at the beginning of each period  presented.  The pro forma  adjustments
assume  the  transaction  occurred  (a) on  April  30,  1996  for the pro  forma
consolidated  balance  sheet,  and (b) as of the beginning of the period for the
consolidated  statements  of income for the year ended  January 31, 1996 and the
three months ended April 30, 1996.

     The pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated
financial statements of Hirsch and the historical  financial  information of SMX
and  should  be  read  in  conjunction   with  such  financial   statements  and
accompanying  notes.  The purchase  method of accounting was used to prepare the
pro forma financial statements using the purchase price established in the stock
purchase  agreement  and  estimated  fair values of the net  assets.  The actual
purchase  accounting  adjustments  to reflect  the fair values of the net assets
will be based on management's  evaluation;  therefore, the adjustments that have
been used in the pro forma  consolidated  financial  information  are subject to
change pending the final allocation of the purchase price.

     The pro forma  financial  information  does not purport to be indicative of
the financial  position or results of operations  which would have actually been
obtained if the  acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated nor the results
of operations which will be reported in the future.
