                    NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  GENERAL

GENERAL BUSINESS

Printrak International Inc. ("the Company") designs, develops and manufactures
automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS) primarily for use in law
enforcement applications, as well as in emerging applications for civil and
commercial markets.

On July 2, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,000,000
shares of common stock for $8.00 per share, netting proceeds to the Company
after underwriting discounts and expenses of approximately $14.9 million.  The
total offering included 2,500,000 shares, of which 2,000,000 were offered and
sold by the Company and 500,000 were offered and sold by the stockholders.  On
August 6, 1996, the Company's underwriters exercised an over-allotment option
for 121,000 shares which netted the Company additional proceeds of approximately
$.9 million.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are
normal and recurring in nature, and which in the opinion of management are
necessary to a fair statement of the financial position and results of
operations as of and for the three month and nine month periods ended December
31, 1996 and 1995.   The results of operations for the three month period ended
December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 1997.  These consolidated financial
statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes presented in the
Company's S-1 registration statement.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

During the nine month period, the Company had outstanding loans from certain
related parties, including a promissory note from Richard M. Giles, the
Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for $150,000. In
conjunction with the completion of the initial public offering on July 2, 1996,
Mr. Giles repaid the $150,000, along with accrued interest.

The Company also had outstanding a promissory note from RICOL, LLC, a company
controlled by Mr. Giles, for the principal amount of $1,230,000. On July 8,
1996, RICOL, LLC prepaid $730,000 of principal and accrued interest on the
promissory note, and in recognition of this payment, the Company's Board of
Directors amended certain terms of the note, as follows:  the principal amount
of the note was reduced to $500,000, the entire principal balance is payable in
seven years or upon sale of the property, and the interest rate on the principal
is reduced from 10% to the published prime rate of the Company's bank.

</TABLE>

On July 8, 1996, upon receiving the proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering, the Company repaid the revolving line of credit which equaled $3.4
million at the pay-off date, as well as the $1.7 million outstanding under term
loans with the same bank.

On August 12, 1996, the Company signed a new revolving credit agreement which
provides for a total of $15 million in secured borrowings and bears interest at
variable rates.  The loan is scheduled to mature July 31, 1998, and as of
December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $14.3 million of available
borrowings.

Additionally, the Company signed a revolving loan agreement on January 30, 1997
which provides an additional $5 million in secured borrowings.  The revolving
loan agreement, which bears interest at variable rates and expires on January
31, 2001, provides that loan proceeds be used for general working

capital purposes, including acquisitions.

The revolving credit agreement contains certain financial and other covenants
with which the Company must comply on an on-going basis.  Management believes
the Company is in compliance with all terms and covenants of this agreement at
December 31, 1996.


5.  NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Weighted average
common and common equivalent shares include common shares and stock options
using the treasury stock method.  Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4D, stock options granted during the twelve
months prior to the date of the initial filing of the Company's Form S-1
Registration Statement have been included in the calculation of common
equivalent shares using the treasury stock method as if they were outstanding as
of the beginning of the period.

                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company intends that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby.
These forward-looking statements include (i) the existence and development of
the Company's technical and manufacturing capabilities, (ii) anticipated
competition, (iii) potential future growth in revenues and income, (iv)
potential future decreases in costs, and (v) the need for, and availability of,
additional financing.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  These forward-looking
statements are based on assumptions that the Company will not lose a significant
customer or customers or experience increased fluctuations of demand or
rescheduling of purchase orders, that the Company's markets will continue to
grow, that the Company's products will remain accepted within their respective
markets and will not be replaced by new technology, that competitive conditions
within the Company's markets will not change materially or adversely, that the
Company will retain key technical and management personnel, that the Company's
forecasts will accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no
material adverse change in the Company's operations or business.  Assumptions
relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things,
future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business
decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and
many of which are beyond the control of the Company.  The Company believes the
assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance
that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized.
In addition, the business and operations of the Company are subject to
substantial risks which increase the uncertainty inherent in such
forward-looking statements.  In light of the significant uncertainties inherent
in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such
information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any
other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the earnings and financial position of the Company
during the period included in the accompanying financial statements.  This
discussion compares the three-month period ended December 31, 1996 with the
three-month period ended December 31, 1995, as well as the nine-month period
ended December 31, 1996 with the nine-month period ended December 31, 1995. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
associated notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995


TOTAL REVENUES

The Company's total revenues are comprised of system revenues, which include
products, file conversion services, and system installation; and maintenance
revenues related to hardware and software support.

Revenues were $18.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, increasing
3.4% from revenues of $17.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
System revenues experienced an increase of 3.3% or $.5 million to approximate
$15.8 million for the third quarter, up from $15.3 million for the third quarter
of the previous year.  The most significant revenue contributor for the current
period was the shipment of a significant document imaging system to the
Company's largest customer.

Maintenance revenues equaled $2.4 million for the three-month period ended
December 31, 1996, generally consistent with revenues of $2.3 million for the
three-month period ended December 31, 1995.  The modest increase in maintenance
revenues is reflective of the expiration of warranty on some contracts. Upon
expiration of system warranty, customers enter into maintenance agreements which
yield revenue over the life of the maintenance agreement.

The Company's quarterly revenues have in the past, and in the future may be
expected to fluctuate significantly.  These fluctuations are the result of a
variety of factors, including: the Company's delivery cycle, variations in order
size, variations in product mix and the timing of orders.


GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues primarily consist of purchased materials procured for use in
the assembly of the Company's products, manufacturing labor and overhead, file
conversion costs and maintenance expenses.

Overall gross profit increased to $9.8 million for the quarter ended December
31, 1996 in comparison to  $7.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
This resulted in an increase in gross profit of $2.0 million or 25.6%.  Gross
margin was 53.8% for the three months ended December 31, 1996, up from 44.3% for
the three months ended December 31, 1995.  The gross profit for system revenues
increased to $8.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from $6.9
million for the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.  The system gross
margin increased to 53.8% for the current quarter from 45.1% for the third
quarter of the previous year.  Gross margin related to maintenance revenues
increased to 50.0% for the third quarter of the current year in comparison to
39.1% for the third quarter of the previous year.  Overall maintenance gross
profit increased $.3 million to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1996 from $.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.

                             PRINTRAK INTERNATIONAL INC.
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The overall increase in system gross margin is attributable to favorable order
mix, increased sales volume, and $0.6 million of amortization expense, present
in the third quarter of the prior year but absent in the current quarter because
all remaining capitalized software was fully amortized in the fourth quarter of
the previous fiscal year.  The quarterly order mix also favorably contributed to
system gross margin as several shipments had unusually high margins.  The
Company does not consider this mix to be representative of all quarters, and as
such, does not expect system sales to consistently achieve such a high margin.
The increase in the Company's maintenance revenue margin is reflective of an
increased labor allocation to system cost of sales resulting from higher
warranty costs in the current year.  The Company's margin may be affected
quarter-to-quarter by several factors, including the proportion of total
revenues derived from competitive bid processes and the mix of products sold.


RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

Research, development and engineering expenses (RD&E) are comprised primarily of
compensation paid to personnel engaged in research, development and engineering
activities, amounts paid for outside services and the cost of materials used in
the development of hardware and software products.

RD&E expenses increased 18.2% to $2.6 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1996, up from $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.  The
increase in RD&E expense is comprised of increased salary and contract labor
expense related to additional personnel engaged in research, as well as
engineering enhancement of existing products and additional depreciation expense
associated with the capitalization of equipment used principally for development
efforts. RD&E expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 14.3% for the
three month period ended December 31, 1996, up from 12.5% for the same period of
the previous year, primarily due to increased research and development activity.


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist principally of
compensation paid to sales, marketing, and administrative personnel, payments to
consultants, professional service fees, travel and related expenses and other
marketing expenses.

For the three month period ended December 31, 1996,  SG&A expenses increased to
$2.8 million from $2.7 million for the three month period ended December 31,
1995.  This reflects an overall SG&A expense increase of $0.1 million or 3.7%
between the third quarter of the current year and the prior year's third
quarter.  The slight increase in SG&A expenses results from increased
administrative salary expense to support the infrastructure of a higher level of
revenues.  Additionally, the Company invested in its direct sales force by
increasing sales personnel and by establishing a sales commission plan which
provides incentive payments based on the achievement of established goals.  SG&A
expenses, as a percentage of revenues, equaled 15.4% for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, consistent with 15.3% for the same period of the previous
year.

                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 equaled $172,000 in
comparison to $204,000 of other income for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
Other income for the period ended December 31, 1996 is associated with $60,000
net interest income and other  miscellaneous income items approximating
$112,000.  For the quarter ended December 31, 1995, other income resulted from
the amortization of a deferred credit which became fully utilized in March 1996.


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 equaled $1.6 million
in comparison to expense of $.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
This represents an overall increase in tax expense of $1.1 million or 220%.  The
Company's current year tax provision is based on a statutory rate of 36% and
reflects the impact of state and foreign taxes, as well as the utilization of
limited net operating loss carryforwards.


NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995


TOTAL REVENUES

Revenues increased 31.5% to $43.8 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1996 from $33.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1995. System
revenues increased 40.9% or $10.6 million to $36.5 million for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1996, up from $25.9 million for the nine month period
ended December 31, 1995. The increase in revenue is attributable to on-going
increasing market acceptance of the Company's AFIS 2000 series of products, the
shipment of a significant document imaging system in the third quarter, and
continued revenue growth in the Livescan booking station product line.

Maintenance revenues equaled $7.3 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1996, decreasing 1.4% from revenues of $7.4 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 1995.  The decline in maintenance revenues, on a year to date
basis,  is the result of a number of customer AFIS 2000 system upgrades which,
although they yield increased system revenue, reduce maintenance revenues during
such customers' warranty periods.



GROSS PROFIT

Overall gross profit equaled $21.6 million for the nine months ended December
31, 1996, up from $14.4  million for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 and
resulted in a gross profit increase of $7.2 million or 50%.  Gross margin
increased to 49.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 from 43.2% for
the nine months ended December 31, 1995.  The gross profit for system revenues
increased to $18.1 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 in
comparison to $10.9 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995.
Additionally, system gross margin equaled 49.6% for the most recently ended nine
month period, up from 42.1% for the nine month period of the previous year.
Gross margin related to maintenance revenues remained relatively consistent at
47.9% for the current nine month period in comparison to 47.3% for the nine
months ended December 31, 1995.  Overall maintenance gross profit approximated
$3.5 million for both periods.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The overall increase in system gross margin is partially related to $1.7 million
of software amortization, present in the prior year but absent in the current
year because all capitalized software was fully amortized in the fourth quarter
of the previous fiscal year.  Additionally, favorable order mix in the third
quarter resulted in a marked increase in quarterly gross margin, clearly
impacting the gross margin on a year to date basis. The increase in the
Company's maintenance revenue margin is the result of increased margin the third
quarter, previously discussed in the three-month analysis.


RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

RD&E expenses increased 21.5% to $7.9 million for nine months ended December 31,
1996 which represents a $1.4 million increase from prior year expense of $6.5
million. The increase in RD&E expense is comprised of increased salary and
contract labor expense related to additional personnel engaged in research and
engineering enhancement of existing products.  Furthermore, depreciation expense
associated with the capitalization of development equipment has increased over
previous year levels.  RD&E expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to
18.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, down from 19.5% for the same
nine month period of the previous year, primarily due to the increased level of
total revenues which promotes improved operating expense leverage.


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

For the nine month period ended December 31, 1996,  SG&A expenses increased to
$8.4 million from $7.3 million for the period ended December 31, 1995.  This
reflects an overall  SG&A expense increase of $1.1 million or 15.1% between the
first three quarters of fiscal year 1997 and the first three quarters of fiscal
year 1996.  The increase in SG&A expenses results from increased administrative
salary expense to support the infrastructure of a higher level of revenues,
increased travel and recruiting fees, as well as increased professional fees.
Additionally, the Company invested in its direct sales force by increasing sales
personnel and by establishing a sales commission plan which provides incentive
payments based on the achievement of established goals.  SG&A expenses, as a
percentage of revenues, decreased to 19.2% for the nine months ended December
31, 1996, down from 21.9% for the same period of the previous year, due
primarily to the improved operating expense leverage resulting from an increased
level of total revenues.


OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 equaled $30,000 in
comparison to $745,000 of other income for the nine months ended December 31,
1995.  Other expense for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 is
primarily associated with interest expense of approximately $215,000, partially
offset by interest income of $205,000, and certain other expenses incurred
during the period.  For the nine months ended December 31, 1995, other income of
approximately $745,000 resulted from the amortization of a deferred credit which
became fully utilized in March 1996, offset by net interest expense associated
with the Company's revolving line of credit and term loans.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 equaled $1.9
million  in comparison to expense of $222,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 1995.  This represents an overall increase in tax expense of $1.7 million.
The Company's tax provision is based on a statutory rate of 36% and reflects the
impact of state and foreign taxes and the utilization of limited net operating
loss carryforwards.   The Company expects the effective tax rate to increase in
fiscal year 1998.

SYSTEM BACKLOG

The Company measures its backlog of system revenues based on orders for which
contracts or purchase orders have been signed, but which have not been shipped
and for which revenues have not been recognized.  At December 31, 1996, the
Company's system revenues backlog was approximately $19.1 million, compared to
$24.9 million at September 30, 1996 and $28.8 million at March 31, 1996.  The
reduction in the Company's backlog is primarily due to significant shipments
during the quarter, coupled with bureaucratic delays in formally signing several
contracts which were awarded in previous periods.

Much of the Company's backlog as of December 31, 1996 is expected to be shipped
during the current fiscal year.  Approximately $7.1 million of the total backlog
is scheduled to be shipped in fiscal year 1998.  However, certain orders
comprising backlog may set forth requirements for custom software development or
data file conversion which may require extensive work to be completed prior to
shipment.  Any failure of the Company to meet an agreed upon schedule could
result in the cancellation of the related order.  Furthermore, variations in the
size, complexity and delivery requirements of the customer order may result in
substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period.  Accordingly, the
Company believes that backlog cannot be considered a meaningful indicator of
future financial performance.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $3.5 million at March 31, 1996 to $8.0
million at December 31, 1996 due to the receipt of the net proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering, offset in part by the repayment of debt and
on-going working capital changes from operations.  Trade receivables rose $8.5
million from $11.1 million at March 31, 1996 to $19.6 million at December 31,
1996 primarily as a result of increased revenues, as well as customer balances
which remained unbilled at December 31, 1996 because of terms within the
customer's contract.  Total inventory levels declined $2.9 million from $8.9
million at March 31, 1996 to $6.0 million at December 31, 1996.  This reduction
occurred during the third quarter as a result of significant sales activity,
offset by lowered material receipts as the majority of the inventory needed for
third quarter shipments was procured in the first and second quarters.

The increase in the net balance of property, plant and equipment of $1.3 million
from $2.9 million at March 31, 1996 to $4.2 million at December 31, 1996
reflects capital expenditures of approximately $0.8 million, depreciation
expense of $1.8 million, and the capitalization of engineering test equipment,
previously classified as finished goods inventory.  Additionally, the Company
wrote off certain fixed assets which had been reserved in a previous period.
Other assets decreased primarily due to the receipt of a $.7 million prepayment
on a note receivable outstanding from RICOL, LLC, a company controlled by
Richard M. Giles, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Total  current liabilities decreased from $12.9 million at March 31, 1996 to
$8.0 million at December 31, 1996. The decline in accounts payable is
attributable to reduced inventory receipts in the third quarter.  The increase
in accrued liabilities of $1.1 million is partially associated with an increase
in the Company's warranty provision, necessitated by the increased level of
system shipments.  Furthermore, an increase in certain other accruals
contributed to the higher accrued liabilities balance.   The decline in deferred
revenue from $3.9 million at March 31, 1996 to $2.2 million at December 31, 1996
is due to the recognition of revenue on a significant customer contract which
had been previously deferred.  Additionally, several annual pre-paid customer
maintenance contracts renew on January 1, thus, all deferred revenue is
amortized by December 31, 1996.

The decline in total debt is a result of reduced borrowings under the Company's
new revolving line of credit.  After receiving the proceeds from the Company's
initial public offering, the Company repaid amounts outstanding on the Company's
revolving line of credit, as well as amounts outstanding under the Company's
term loans.  As such, the Company's overall debt balance declined $5.2 million
to $1.3 million at December 31, 1996, down from $6.5 million at March 31, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company finances its operations through the cash provided by its operations,
the utilization of its revolving credit line and cash provided by its initial
public offering.  The Company's operating activities used net cash of
approximately $5.9 million for the nine-months ended December 31, 1996,
primarily as a result of the increase in accounts receivable, offset by other
working capital changes.  The Company's operating activities generated net cash
of approximately $0.5 million for the period ended December 31, 1995.

The Company's investing activities used cash of approximately $4.1 million for
the nine months ended December 31, 1996, due to capital expenditures of $0.8
million, approximately $0.9 million cash received from the collection of a note
receivable and $4.1 million of short-term investment purchases.  The Company's
investing activities generated cash of approximately $1.5 million for the nine
months ended December 31, 1995, primarily from the sale of the Company's
headquarters for proceeds of $3.3 million, partially offset by the purchase of
capital equipment of $1.8 million.

Financing activities provided net cash of approximately $10.3 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 1996 while financing activities for the nine
months ended December 31, 1995 used net cash of $1.5 million. For the current
period, net debt repayments equaled $5.0 million. Net proceeds of approximately
$14.7 million were realized from the Company's initial public offering and
proceeds of $.6 million were realized from employees' participation in the
Company's employee stock purchase plan.  For the period ended December 31, 1995,
the Company borrowed $6.8 million and paid principal payments on its long-term
debt of $8.3 million.

The Company believes that the cash generated from operations, together with the
proceeds received from the Company's initial public offering, will be sufficient
to meet its cash requirements at least through the end of fiscal year 1998.
