                   MICROTOUCH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1997

(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 as well as electronic digital PC based whiteboards.

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

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MicroTouch Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together,
"MicroTouch" or the "Company").  All significant intercompany accounts,
transactions and profits have been eliminated.

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

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997 and
for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
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 June 30, 1997, and the results of
operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1997 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 for the year ended December 31, 1996.

(4)  Earnings Per Share (EPS)
     ------------------------

     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)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     --------------------------------

     In February 1997, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" was released effective
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires the
presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS replaces the primary EPS
calculation required under APB Opinion 15.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
calculated by using the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the
period.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to
Opinion 15.  The pro-forma effect of this accounting change on the June 30, 1997
EPS data and the June 30 and December 31, 1996 previously reported EPS data is
as follows:

Net Sales Net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased over the
corresponding period of 1996 by $9,384,000 or 41.0% to $32,275,000. For the six-
month period ended June 30, 1997, net sales increased $18,405,000 or 41.9% to
$62,351,000. The increase in both the three and six-month periods ended June 30,
1997 reflected increases in international touchscreen sales, the domestic and
international entertainment markets and kiosk sales. For the three month period
ended June 30, 1997, international sales accounted for 43.4% of net sales, an
increase from 32.6% of net sales for the comparable period of 1996, reflecting
increased touchscreen volume primarily into Europe and Australia. For the six-
month period ended June 30, 1997, international sales accounted for 40.5% of net
sales as compared to 33.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996.

Gross Profit  Gross profit for the three and six-month periods ended June 30,
1997 was $11,987,000 and $23,335,000, which represents increases of 39.0% and
41.0%, respectively, over the corresponding periods of 1996.  As a percentage of
net sales, gross profit decreased from 37.7% in the second quarter of 1996 to
37.1% in the second quarter of 1997.  The decrease in second quarter gross
margins primarily reflects the lower margins associated with the production
start up of the Business Products Division's electronic whiteboard product
Ibid(TM).  For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, gross profit, as a
percentage of net sales, decreased to 37.4% from 37.7% in the same period in
1996.  This decrease is also due to start up costs in the Business Products
Division.

Research and Development Research and development expenses for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997 increased over the corresponding period of 1996 by $149,000 or
8.3%. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses decreased
from 7.9% in the second quarter of 1996 to 6.0% in the second quarter of 1997,
primarily as a result of the 41.0% increase in net sales during the second
quarter of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996. In addition, research
and development expenses for the new electronic whiteboard IBID(TM) have
decreased compared to last
                                       8

 
year's second quarter. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, research
and development spending increased $464,000 or 14.0% over the same period in
1996. The increase in research and development expenses resulted primarily from
continued development projects in touchscreen technologies, especially resistive
products.

Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended June 30,
1997 increased over the corresponding period of 1996 by $1,083,000 or 31.1%, to
$4,568,000. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased
from 15.2% in the second quarter of 1996 to 14.2% in the second quarter of 1997,
primarily as a result of the 41.0% increase in net sales over the same period.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, sales and marketing expenses
increased by $2,499,000 or 37.0% to $9,258,000. As a percentage of net sales,
sales and marketing expenses decreased from 15.4% in the first six months of
1996 to 14.8% in the first six months of 1997. The absolute dollar increase in
sales and marketing expenses resulted primarily from new product introduction
costs and expanded infrastructure associated with the Ibid(TM) Business Products
Division, as well as expenses resulting from two new international sales offices
in Korea and Hong Kong, which opened during the quarter ended June 30, 1997, and
increased spending to support the sales growth, including commissions.

General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 increased from the corresponding period of 1996 by $616,000
or 43.2% to $2,041,000. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, general
and administrative expenses increased over the corresponding period of 1996 by
$1,128,000 or 40.4% to $3,917,000. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses increased slightly to 6.3% from 6.2% for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and held constant at 6.3% for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The absolute increase in spending reflects
costs associated with the expanding domestic and international operations and
with the Business Products Division.

Amortization of Intangible Assets  For the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
operating expenses included $119,000 of amortization relating to various
acquisitions and purchases of technologies, as compared to $112,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997,
amortization expense was $238,000 as compared to $223,000 for the comparable
period of 1996.

Operating Income Operating income in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 of
$3,313,000 represented an increase of $1,509,000 or 83.6% over the second
quarter of 1996. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, operating income
of $6,149,000 reflects an increase of $2,680,000 or 77.3% over the comparable
period of 1996. For the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
international operations accounted for 5.5% and 6.3%, respectively, of operating
income. For the six- month periods ended June 30, 1997, and June 30, 1996
international operations accounted for 3.3% and 1.2% respectively of operating
income.

Arbitration Costs During the second quarter of 1997, the Company recorded
$595,000 in one-time special charges related to the final settlement of an
arbitration case against Nissha Printing Company Ltd. During the second quarter
of 1996 the Company incurred $591,000 in arbitration costs related to the same
International Arbitration. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 arbitration cost were $595,000, and $718,000, respectively, reflecting the
one-time settlement charges in 1997 as compared to the on-going arbitration
costs in 1996. This completes the Company's obligations pursuant to this matter.

Provision for Income Taxes  The Company's effective tax rate for both the three
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 was 36.0% as compared to 36.5% for the
comparable periods of 1996.  The effective tax rates in all 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 June 30, 1997, the Company had net working capital of $61,252,000,
including approximately $33,248,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities. The Company reported net cash used by operating activities of
$1,504,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 1997. The use of cash was required
to support both the expanding touchscreen business and the new Ibid product
line. Additionally, the Company maintains a $3,000,000 bank line of credit. As
of June 30, 1997, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its bank line
of credit.

During 1997, the Company constructed and occupied a 57,000 square-foot facility
on land purchased in 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the
Company incurred approximately $2,500,000 of costs associated with this
construction.

Pending operating needs, the Company has invested its cash in investment grade,
interest bearing securities.  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 1998.  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 or if
any such acquisition is completed, that cash consideration will be offered by
the Company.

10-Q, may contain forward-looking statements based on the current expectations
of the Company's management. Such statements are subject to certain risks and

                        PART II      OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

        The Company was involved in an international arbitration entitled
MicroTouch Systems, Inc. vs. Nissha Printing Co. Ltd., ("Nissha") which was
under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC"). The case
was based on the Company's claims that Nissha breached non-competition
provisions and other terms of a distribution agreement between the Company and
Nissha.

        The Company was informed in January, 1997 that while it had won the case
based on the merits of its claim, any recovery of damages was time barred under
the terms of the original agreement between the two parties in the dispute. As a
result, the Company was required to pay a portion of Nissha's fees and costs
associated with the arbitration, which portion totaled $595,000 as determined by
the arbitrators in the case. This completes the company's obligations pursuant
to this matter.
