NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of Racom Systems, Inc. as of March 31, 1998 and 1997
and for the periods then ended. Operating results for the three month period
ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read with the complete
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1997 previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Note 2 - New Accounting Standards
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." Under SFAS 128, primary earnings per share previously required under
Accounting Principles Board No. 15 is replaced with basic earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported earnings available to
common stockholders by weighted average shares outstanding. No dilution for any
potentially dilutive securities is included. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period. The adoption of SFAS No.
128 had no effect on the previously reported loss per share.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income
and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. SFAS 130 requires that all items that
are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS 130 does not
require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that the
enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the
period in that financial statement. SFAS 130 is effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. No differences
exist between comprehensive income and net income for the Company for the
First Quarter 1998.

Note 4 - License of Technology to Hitachi, Ltd.
On January 15, 1998, the Company executed an agreement, in conjunction with
Ramtron International Corporation ("Ramtron"), granting Hitachi Ltd. ("Hitachi")
a worldwide, non-exclusive license to design, manufacture and sell smart card
products based on the Company's contactless, ferroelectric smart card
technology, and Ramtron's proprietary ferroelectric random access memory
("FRAM") technology. In addition to these license rights, the Company granted
Hitachi option rights, for a predetermined option fee, to its Radio Frequency
Identification ("RFID") Technology, as defined in the agreement, for a period up
to December 31, 1999. As consideration for the rights granted under the
agreement, Hitachi will pay certain license fees and royalties to the Company as
defined in the agreement. The Company received the first payment on the license
on January 29, 1998. As additional consideration for the rights granted under
the agreement, Hitachi will provide engineering services for development of the
Company's RFID Products, as defined in the contract, and the Company and Ramtron
have a certain defined percentage call (subject to a maximum quantity) on
Hitachi's production capacity of RFID Products. The agreement remains effective
until expiration of the last of the Company's and Ramtron's patents.
Note 5 - Subsequent Events
On May 8, 1998, the Company received the second payment on the license agreement
with Hitachi, Ltd.

The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the Company's expected performance for any future
period. Information contained herein is supplemental to the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the Company's
Prospectus filed effective March 12, 1997.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Investors should carefully consider the following information as well as other
information contained in this Report before making an investment in the Common
Stock. Information contained in this Report contains "forward-looking
statements" which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology
such as "believes," "expects," "may," "should" or "anticipates" or the negative
thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions
of strategy. No assurance can be given that the future results covered by the
forward-looking statements will be achieved. The following matters constitute
cautionary statements identifying important factors with respect to such
forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that
could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results covered in
such forward-looking statements. Other factors could also cause actual results
to vary materially from the future results covered in such forward-looking
statements.
The Company is a leading developer and marketer of contactless smart card
systems ("Smart Card(s)") used primarily in electronic commerce. Generally the
size of a credit card, Smart Cards are used in a number of consumer applications
including (i) access to restricted areas (replacing keys and identification
cards), (ii) public transportation fare collection (replacing bus tokens, taxi
cab charge cards, airline or railway tickets and the like), (iii) point of sale
purchases (replacing cash or credit cards at cafeterias, newsstands and related
point of sale locations where speed of purchase is important), and (iv)
miscellaneous small monetary transactions (replacing coins and cash at parking
lots, in vending machines and public telephones, etc.). Smart Card technology is
also used in industrial applications by attaching a "tag" containing the Smart
Card technology to the manufactured product in order to track the product from
the assembly line through quality control, warehousing, inventory control,
distribution and warranty.
The Company's Smart Cards are both "contactless" and "batteryless" and therefore
do not require the use of a magnetic stripe or insertion into a terminal as is
required by contacted cards ("Contacted Card(s)"), such as credit cards and ATM
cards. Contacted Cards in use today are typically limited to storing information
as opposed to "intelligent" Smart Cards, which have processing capabilities
similar to that of a personal computer. The Company's Smart Card System
involves direct wireless radio frequency communications and magnetic induction
between a chip in the Smart Card and a terminal. Moreover, the Company's
contactless Smart Card Systems do not require insertion in a terminal or the use
of a keypad and therefore may be used by all members of the population
regardless of age or physical ability and in both indoor and outdoor locations.
Page 7
<PAGE>
The Company believes it was the first to successfully develop and introduce
contactless Smart Cards using FRAM technology and batteryless, radio frequency
("RF") communications. The Company has primarily relied on its proprietary FRAM
technology for the memory component of the Smart Cards. Although the FRAM
memory demonstrates quantifiable benefits by improving processing speeds and
reliability over competing memory technologies, it is not currently being
produced in sufficient volumes by a significant number of manufacturers to
achieve competitive costs. Complementary to its FRAM technology, the Company
now also utilizes Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
("EEPROM") technology in its Smart Card Systems, allowing the Company to offer
higher volume Smart Cards at a more competitive price.
The Company principally generates revenues from licensing, fee based custom
product development projects and sale of its Smart Card systems. In the future,
the Company anticipates that a substantial portion of its revenues will be
generated from custom product development projects and the sale of its Smart
Card systems. If the Company is unable to continually replace larger custom
product development projects as these projects are completed, its operations
will be adversely affected. Custom product development projects are billed in
stages based on certain agreed upon performance milestones. Accordingly,
financial results for any calendar quarter may fluctuate widely depending on the
stage of a custom product development project or the amount of licensing
payments in a particular quarter.
As reflected in the Company's Financial Statements, the Company has generated
substantial operating losses since inception and has yet to generate substantial
revenues to fund its operations. To date, the Company has completed a series of
smaller scale projects; however, the Company has not yet completed a significant
number of larger projects, and as a result, it is uncertain whether the Company
will be able to successfully market and sell its Smart Card products in
sufficient quantities and at sufficient prices and volumes to fund its
operations. During 1997, the Company experienced significant cash flow deficits
and liquidity shortages and funded its operations primarily through licensing
transactions and proceeds from the sale of its Common Stock.
During 1998, the Company anticipates that increased operating revenues will be
achieved through a combination of product sales, custom product development
projects and the sale of non-exclusive licenses. In addition, the Company
anticipates incurring increased operating and research and development
expenditures in order to further develop and market its Smart Card products.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
Revenues. Revenues increased 291.6% to $1,064,505 for First Quarter ended March
31, 1998, from $271,834 for the First Quarter ended March 31, 1997.
Product Sales. Product sales increased 33.1% to $64,505 for the First
Quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $48,469 for the quarter ended March 31,
1997. To date, the Company has completed a series of projects, many of
which are small scale "pilot" projects, but may have the potential for
implementation on a larger scale. In some cases, these demonstration
projects are "rolled out" for full scale implementation, however the
demonstration phase often takes six to twelve months or longer. Product

<PAGE>
sales in the current quarter included approximately $37,000 of sales of
product to Racom Japan ("RJ"), of which the Company owns 19.9%, as compared
to approximately $6,000 for the First Quarter in 1997.
License Revenues. License revenues increased 347.7% to $1,000,000 for the
First Quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $223,365 for the First Quarter
ended March 31, 1997.
In First Quarter of 1997, license revenues included the recognition of
deferred revenues on a license from RJ for the manufacture and sale of FRAM
based radio frequency products in Japan of $23,349. The amount received for
the license in 1996 was $933,968.
In 1996, pursuant to the technology license discussed above, RJ entered
into a custom product development project with Fujitsu, Ltd. under which
the Company is entitled to 50% of all sublicense revenue earned by RJ. This
sublicense resulted in the Company recording and receiving the balance of
the sublicense revenue of $200,016 during the First Quarter 1997.
The increase in license revenues reflects the execution of the licensing
contract with Hitachi, Ltd. which closed in January 1998, and under which
the Company received the initial payment in January 1998.
COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin
increased to 96.6% in the First Quarter ended March 31, 1998, from 57.6% for the
same period in 1997.
Product Costs. The Company has not generated significant margin on product
sales in part because of competition with Contacted Cards which typically
are sold at a lower price than the Company's Smart Cards. Currently,
production volumes of the Company's products are not sufficient to cover
manufacturing costs which are included in Cost of Revenues. Due to an
increase in availability of FRAM memory chips resulting in lower component
costs, and the use of EEPROM memory chips which are already available at
lower component costs, the Company expects to be able to lower its prices
while improving gross margin. The Company anticipates that cost
efficiencies will allow the Company to compete more effectively with
Contacted Card products and to build sales volume for its Smart Cards.
License revenues. In both periods presented, gross margin is primarily a
result of license revenues which have no direct cost of revenues.
Research and Development Expenses ("R&D"). R&D increased $10,339 from $256,409
in First Quarter 1997 to $266,748 in First Quarter 1998. The increase is
primarily due to changes in the personnel responsible for the product
development. In November 1997, a group of engineers responsible for a specific
project left the Company upon completion of the project. Additional engineers
with skills necessary to complete new product development were hired. In First
Quarter 1997, approximately $38,000 of research and development costs were
allocated to cost of revenues as they were incurred in direct relation to a
custom product development contract.
Page 9
<PAGE>
General and Administrative Expenses ("G&A"). G&A increased $138,427 from
$177,179 in First Quarter 1997 to $315,606 in First Quarter 1998. First Quarter
1998 includes increasing expenditures approximating $30,000 relating to investor
relations consulting, securities legal and Nasdaq filing expenses incurred after
the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") which was completed on March 12,
1997. The Company also recognized approximately $26,000 relating to the
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance policy which was not effective in
First Quarter 1997 and was renewed in March 1998. First Quarter 1998 also
includes an increase in consulting and office expenses of approximately $57,000
due to increased audit fees, mergers & acquisitions research consulting and
legal consulting expenses. G&A also includes approximately $10,000 in increased
personnel costs.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $34,769
from $211,204 in First Quarter 1997 to $245,973 in First Quarter 1998. Travel
expenses increased approximately $11,000 between the First Quarter periods.
Personnel expenses also increased between First Quarter periods by approximately
$17,000 due to the internal transfer of an applications support engineer and
overall salary increases for the department. First Quarter 1998 includes
approximately $12,000 for alliance marketing consulting for the Japanese market.
1997 Sales & Marketing expenses for the First Quarter included a $20,000
recruiting fee for the hiring of a new Product Manager. In First Quarter 1997,
approximately $10,000 of Sales and Marketing related expenses were in direct
support of a custom product development project and accordingly charged to cost
of revenues.
Equity in Loss of Joint Venture. The Company currently owns 19.9% of RJ. RJ
was formed in 1993 for the purpose of marketing, distributing and supporting the
Company's Smart Card products to be sold in Japan. The Company accounts for its
investment on the cost method. In First Quarter 1997, the Company owned 22.8%
of RJ and accounted for its investment under the equity method, recognizing its
proportionate share of RJ's losses.
Amortization Expense. The Company's primary asset is a technology license
related to the design and manufacture of its Smart card products. The asset is
amortized over its estimated useful life on a straight line basis.
Other Income (Expense). During First Quarter 1997, the Company incurred $57,121
in interest expense on various notes payable to Intag International Limited
("Intag"), Ramtron and a group of lenders. The notes carried interest at 10%
and prime plus 2%, respectively. The notes and accrued interest were paid
during First Quarter 1997 upon completion of the IPO. Interest expense for First
Quarter 1997 also includes $97,799 related to the amortization of debt issuance
costs associated with a bridge financing completed prior to the IPO. First
Quarter 1997 also included approximately $26,000 in currency exchange losses on
the sub-licensing transaction completed with RJ. During First Quarter 1998 the
Company earned $17,722 in interest income on its cash balances held primarily in
a government obligations fund with an average maturity of less than 90 days.
Net Income (Loss). The Company is a C Corporation under the Internal Revenue
Code and for income tax reporting purposes as of December 31, 1997, has
approximately $13,700,000 of net operating loss carryforwards that expire at
various dates through 2012. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions
which may limit the net operating loss carryforwards available to the Company in
any given year if certain events occur, including significant changes in
ownership interests.
Page 10
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary need for capital has been to finance expansion of research
and development of new Smart Card products, sales and marketing of its products
and operations. Annual product revenues growth has been limited due to limited
financial resources and an inability to expand receivables, build inventory and
effectively sell and market Smart Card products.
CASH FLOW
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,198,567 and $1,356,667 as of
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998, respectively. During the first quarter of
1998, the Company's primary source of cash was from the initial payment under
the Hitachi license agreement, and the sale of 60,000 shares of common stock to
a former employee upon the exercise of employee stock options at $1.00 per
share.
CAPITALIZATION
The Company's capitalization of $2,775,235 as of December 31, 1997 was comprised
entirely of stockholders' equity, as compared to $3,013,793 of stockholders'
equity as of March 31, 1998. Again, the increase is primarily attributable to
the net income of the quarter of $178,558 and the sale of 60,000 shares of
common stock to a former employee upon the exercise of employee stock options at
$1.00 per share.
Management of the Company intends to fund its 1998 operations through a
combination of product sales, technology sublicensing and possible offerings of
its common stock. There is no assurance that sales of common stock will occur
or that additional proceeds will be received from such offerings. The Company
currently does not have an available source for short-term borrowings.
The Company must also maintain certain requirements in order to be listed on
Nasdaq. These requirements include maintaining a specified level of net
tangible assets, as defined, market capitalization or net income. Additionally,
the Company must maintain a specified level of publicly traded shares, market
value of the publicly traded shares, minimum bid price, number of market makers
and shareholders. As of March 31, 1998 the Company was in compliance with the
Nasdaq listing requirements. There is no assurance that the Company will
continue to meet the Nasdaq listing requirements.
