PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of March
31, 1996, and the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 combine the historical financial statements of Digital
Recorders, Inc. and Transit-Media GmbH after giving effect to the acquisition.
The pro forma combined condensed balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition
as if it had occurred on March 31, 1996, and the pro forma combined condensed
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred
at the beginning of the period presented, by the purchase method of accounting.

The purchase price of the acquisition will be allocated to the tangible and
intangible assets and liabilities acquired based upon their respective fair
values as of the date of acquisition. The allocation of the aggregate purchase
price reflected in the pro forma combined condensed financial statements is
preliminary and based upon assumed acquisition dates of January 1, 1995 and
March 31, 1996 for the pro forma statement of operations and the pro forma
balance sheet, respectively. The final allocation of the purchase price is
contingent upon the final valuation of the acquired assets; however, that
allocation is not expected to differ materially from the preliminary allocation.

The pro forma adjustments and combined amounts are provided for informational
purposes only. The pro forma financial information presented is not necessarily
indicative of either future results of operations or the results that might have
occurred had the acquisition been consummated on the indicated dates.
