TRANSACT INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Transact International Inc. (the "Company") will continue as a going
concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain
based on the matters discussed in the next four sentences. The Company has
a stockholders' deficiency and working capital deficiency of $1,381,893 and
$1,403,316, respectively, at October 31, 1998. A number of suppliers are
requiring the Company to pay on or before delivery of parts and equipment.
The Company's sales backlog is $3.1 million at October 31, 1998 and the
Company is seeking additional orders and exploring the sale or licensing of
certain product lines that would enable the Company to continue as a going
concern. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful
in attaining additional profitable orders or in selling or licensing
certain product lines.
The balance sheet as of October 31, 1998, the statements of operations for
the three and six months ended October 31, 1998 and 1997 and the statements
of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 1998 and 1997 have been
prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash
flows at October 31, 1998 and all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's April 30, 1998 annual report to
stockholders. Seasonality is not a major factor in the Company's
operations. The results of operations for the three and six month periods
ended October 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full
fiscal year.
2. Inventories consist of raw materials and manufacturing supplies.
3. On June 4, 1997 a stockholder of the Company loaned the Company $100,000
payable October 31, 1997 with interest at 8% per annum. The Company has
repaid $35,000 of the loan with the balance, including interest, payable
with the proceeds of a project in India.
Due to the loss for the year ended April 30, 1998 the Company was in
default of its term loan with its bank and therefore the balance owed at
April 30, 1998 of $56,250 was classified as a current liability in the
April 30, 1998 balance sheet. The Company is continuing to repay the bank
$6,250 per month plus interest.
4. The Company's licensing agreement with CIMC-TianDa, a Chinese manufacturer
was amended. The revision provided for total compensation of $680,000 of
which $200,000 was recorded in April 1998, $400,000 in the quarter ended
July 31, 1998 and $80,000 will be recorded when received in December 1998.
The $400,000 recorded in the quarter ended July 31, 1998 was received
$100,000 in June and $300,000 in August 1998. The Company has no further
obligations to CIMC-TianDa pursuant to this licensing agreement.

(CONTINUED)
5. Amounts per share have been computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period. No effect has been given to
shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options as their effect would be
antidilutive.
6. There was no benefit for income taxes in the three and six month periods
ended October 31, 1998 as the loss generated cannot be carried back to
offset income in prior years.
There was no provision for income taxes in the three and six month periods
ended October 31, 1998, because the Company has a substantial net operating
loss carryforward.
The Company has operating loss carryovers and investment tax credit
carryforwards for tax return purposes of approximately $7,000,001 and
$2,000 respectively, expiring in 1998 through 2010.
The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to the Company's
deferred tax assets at October 31, 1997 are as follows :
Net operating loss carryforward $ 2,600,000
Investment tax credit carryforward 2,000
Other reserves and liabilities 83,000
------------
Valuation allowance 2,685,000
------------
$ --
============
Due to the Company's cumulative losses, management does not consider that
enough support to overcome the "more likely than not" criteria existed at
October 31, 1998 to record a deferred tax asset. As a result, for financial
reporting purposes, deferred tax assets are fully reduced by a valuation
allowance.

TRANSACT INTERNATIONAL INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Company incurred net losses for the three and six months ended October 31,
1998 of $242,311 and $182,165, respectively. The losses result primarily from
the decrease in sales for the three and six months ended October 31, 1998 of
$561,564 (44%) and $740,198 (33%), respectively from the comparable periods in
1997. Gross profit for the three and six months ended October 31, 1998 decreased
to 10% from 15% in 1997 due to lower sales volume, including the stoppage of the
New Delhi, India project which resumed in November 1988. However, in the six
months ended October 31, 1998 the Company received $400,000 in licensing fees
and expects its final payment of $80,000 in December 1998.
For the three and six months ended October 31, 1998 the Company `s selling and
administrative expenses were $10,014 higher and $64,407 lower than the
comparable periods in 1997.
The Company's sales backlog as of October 31, 1998 is approximately $3.1
million. This compares to a $2.4 million backlog at October 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
During the six months ended October 31, 1998, the Company provided approximately
$10,000 of cash from operations, primarily resulting from the net loss net of a
decrease in accounts receivable and inventory. At October 31, 1998 the Company
has a working capital deficiency of $1,403,316.
The Company's ability to continue in business is dependent upon its ability to
become profitable and/or sell or license certain product lines. The Company's
sales backlog is $3.1 million at October 31, 1998 and the Company is seeking
additional orders and exploring the sale or license of certain product lines
that would enable the Company to continue as a going concern. However, there is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in attaining additional
profitable orders or in selling or licensing certain product lines.
