                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Basis of Presentation
------------------------------
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with SEC requirements for interim financial
statements.  They, therefore, do not include all of the disclosures which
are presented in the Datamarine International, Inc. ("the Company") Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  It is suggested that the financial statements be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting only of 
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, 
necessary for the fair statement of financial position, results of 
operations and cash flows for the interim period.  The year-end condensed 
balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not 
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting 
principles.  The results of operations for the periods presented are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding during the period, adjusted to reflect the assumed 
exercise of outstanding stock options to the extent these had a dilutive 
effect on the computation.

Note C - Income Taxes
---------------------
Management believes that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred
tax asset will be realized.  The amount of the deferred tax asset considered
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future
taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.


                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

</TABLE>

Net sales decreased by $1,411,188 or 32% compared to the same quarter in the 
prior fiscal year.  Net sales of the Company's land mobile products 
decreased by $1,637,673 or 65% compared to the same quarter in the prior 
fiscal year.  Net sales of the Company's marine communications systems 
increased by $111,678 or 9%.  Net sales of the Company's marine 
instrumentation systems increased by $114,807 or 19%.

The overall sales decrease was due to the decline in the sale of land mobile 
base station equipment compared to the same quarter of FY96.  Management 
attributes the decline in land mobile sales to the Federal Communication 
Commission (FCC)'s failure to act with respect to the auction of 220 MHz 
radio service licenses.  Until such auction licenses are issued, the 
Company's sales of base station equipment are almost non-existent.  Sales 
of marine communications and marine instrumentation products continued to 
contribute to the Company's overall performance for the quarter and were 
consistent with management's expectations.

Gross profit was $1,150,418 (39% of net sales), as compared to $1,762,353 
(40% of net sales) in the prior year, a decrease of $611,935 or 35%.  The 
gross profit on land mobile products was $200,377 (23% of such sales), as 
compared to $924,361 (37% of such sales) in the prior year, a decrease of 
$723,984 or 78%.  The gross profit on marine communications systems was 
$693,074 (49% of such sales), as compared to $548,977 (43% of such sales) in 
the prior year, an increase of $144,097 or 26%.  The gross profit on marine 
instrumentation systems was $256,967 (36% of such sales), as compared to 
$289,015 (48% of such sales) in the prior year, a decrease of $32,048 or 
11%.  The decrease in overall gross profit margin was due to a greater 
portion of the Company's land mobile sales coming from mobile radio 
products.  Land mobile margins vary depending upon the sales mix across the 
product line, and mobile radio products typically have substantially lower 
gross margins than base station equipment.  Increases and decreases in 
profit margins on marine communication and marine instrumentation products 
were due to a change in product sales mix.

Operating expenses were $1,271,760 (43% of net sales), as compared to 
$1,347,056 (31% of net sales) last year, a decrease of $75,296 or 6%.  
Operating costs declined as a result of lower selling expenses and a refund 
of state excise taxes, but comprised a greater percentage of sales due to 
the larger decline in total revenues.

Other expenses increased to $119,131 as compared to $112,961 last year.  The 
increase is due to additional interest expense on bank borrowings and 
debentures, and increased site management expenses related to Narrowband 
Network Systems.

On June 28, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of 
$18,559 in cash and equivalents and $250,000 in the unused portion of a bank 
revolving line of credit.  The bank line is secured by the Company's assets 
and availability is subject to a borrowing base requirement.  During the 
quarter the bank renewed the Company's credit line for $2,000,000 through 
June 1998 at an interest rate of prime plus 1.5%, and the Company was in 
full compliance with the terms of the agreement.  The Company believes that 
its existing cash balances, line of credit and other sources of financing 
will provide adequate flexibility to fund the Company's operating needs and 
capital expenditures during the next twelve months.
