                    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 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
$0.9 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 six month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995.   The results of operations for the three month period ended
September 30, 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 six month period, the Company had outstanding loans from certain
related parties, including a promissory note to 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, Mr. Giles repaid the
$150,000, along with accrued interest.

The Company also had outstanding a promissory note to 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 is 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% the published prime rate of the Company's bank.

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
September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $13.8 million of available
borrowings.

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
September 30, 1996.

5.  NET INCOME (LOSS) AND NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.
Common equivalent shares are not included for the three month and six month
periods ended September 30, 1995 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.  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.  Although 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 September 30, 1996 with the
three-month period ended September 30, 1995, as well as the six-month period
ended September 30, 1996 with the six-month period ended September 30, 1995.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
associated notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 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 equaled $13.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
increasing 69.4% from revenues of $7.9 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1995. System revenues experienced an increase of 104.7% or $5.6 million to
approximate $11.0 million for the second quarter, up from $5.4 million for the
second quarter of the previous year.  The increase in revenue for the second
quarter is attributable to a broadening of the Company's new customer base,
increased market acceptance of the Company's AFIS 2000 series of products among
existing customers, as well as revenue growth in the Livescan booking station
product line.  Of the Company's total system revenues for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, approximately 55% was derived from new customer revenue,
while 45% resulted from additional revenue to existing customers.

Maintenance revenues equaled $2.4 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1996, decreasing 5.5% from revenues of $2.5 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  The decline in maintenance revenues 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.

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 $5.9 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1996 in comparison to  $3.2 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1995.  This resulted in an increase in gross profit of $2.7 million or 85.8%.
Gross margin was 43.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1996, up from
39.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  The gross profit for
system revenues increased to $4.8 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 from $1.9 million for the same quarter in fiscal year 1996.  Furthermore,
this increase in system gross profit boosted the system gross margin to 43.8%
from 35.6% for the second quarter of the previous year.  Gross margin related to
maintenance revenues decreased to 43.7% for the second quarter of the current
year in comparison to 49.0% for the second quarter of the previous year.
Overall maintenance gross profit declined $.2 million from $1.2 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $1.0 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1996.

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


The overall increase in system gross margin is attributable to $0.6 million of
software amortization, present in the second quarter of the prior year but
absent in the current quarter because all capitalized software was fully
amortized in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. The reduction in
the Company's maintenance revenue margin is the result of increased maintenance
support costs without a corresponding increase in the price of maintenance
support service. 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 29.6% to $2.7 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1996, up from $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 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, decreased to 20.4% for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996, down from 26.7% for the same period
of the previous year, primarily due to the increased level of total revenues.


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 September 30, 1996,  SG&A expenses increased to
$2.7 million from $2.4 million for the three month period ended September 30,
1995.  This reflects an overall  SG&A expense increase of $0.3 million or 13.3%
between the first quarter of fiscal year 1996 and the first quarter of fiscal
year 1995.  The increase in SG&A expenses results from increased sales and
administrative salary expense to support the infrastructure of a higher level of
revenues, as well as increased professional fees.  SG&A expenses, as a
percentage of revenues, decreased to 19.9% for the three months ended September
30, 1996, down from 29.7% for the same three months of the previous year, due
primarily to the increased level of total revenues.


OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 equaled $4,000 in
comparison to $300,000 of other income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
Other income for the period ended September 30, 1996 is associated with $107,000
in interest income, offset by interest expense of $37,000 and other expenses of
approximately $66,000.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, other income
resulted from the amortization of a deferred credit which became fully utilized
in March, 1996.

PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 equaled $164,000  in
comparison to a benefit of $168,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
This represents an overall increase in tax expense of $332,000.  The Company's
tax provision is based on a statutory rate of 35% and reflects the impact of
state and foreign taxes, as well as the utilization of limited net operating
loss carryforwards.


SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 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 increased 63.1% to $25.6 million for the six months ended September 30,
1996 from $15.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 1995. System
revenues increased 95.7% or $10.1 million to $20.7 million for the six month
period ended September 30, 1996, up from $10.6 million for the six month period
ended September 30, 1995. The increase in revenue for the first two quarters is
attributable to continued increased market acceptance of the Company's AFIS 2000
series of products and revenue growth in the Livescan booking station product
line.

Maintenance revenues equaled $4.9 million for the six months ended September 30,
1996, decreasing 4.6% from revenues of $5.1 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1995.  The decline in maintenance revenues 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

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 equaled $11.8 million for the six months ended September
30, 1996, up from $6.6  million for the six months ended September 30, 1995 and
resulting in a gross profit increase of $5.2 million or 78.9%.  Gross margin
increased to 46.2% for the six months ended September 30, 1996 from 42.1% for
the six months ended September 30, 1995.  The gross profit for system revenues
increased to $9.6 million for the six month period ended September 30, 1996 in
comparison to $4.0 million for the same period in fiscal year 1996.
Additionally, system gross margin equaled 46.3% for the six month period, up
from 38.2% for the six month period of the previous year.  Gross margin related
to maintenance revenues declined to 45.7% for the current six month period in
comparison to 50.3% for the six months ended September 30, 1995.  Overall
maintenance gross profit declined $.3 million from $2.5 million for the six
months of the prior year to $2.2 million for the six months of the current year.

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

The overall increase in system gross margin is related to $1.1 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.  The reduction in the Company's maintenance revenue
margin is the result of increased maintenance support costs without a
corresponding increase in the price of maintenance support service.


RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

RD&E expenses increased 25.4% to $5.4 million for six months ended September 30,
1996 which represents a $1.1 million increase from prior year expense of $4.3
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
approximately $180,000 over previous year levels.  RD&E expenses, as a
percentage of revenues, decreased to 21.1% for the six months ended September
30, 1996, down from 27.4% for the same six 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 six month period ended September 30, 1996,  SG&A expenses increased to
$5.5 million from $4.7 million for the period ended September 30, 1995.  This
reflects an overall  SG&A expense increase of $0.8 million or 18.5% between the
first two quarters of fiscal year 1997 and the first two quarters of fiscal year
1996.  The increase in SG&A expenses results from increased sales and
administrative salary expense to support the infrastructure of a higher level of
revenues, increased travel and recruiting fees, as well as increased
professional fees.  SG&A expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to
21.6% for the six months ended September 30, 1996, down from 29.7% 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 six months ended September 30, 1996 equaled $203,000 in
comparison to $541,000 of other income for the six months ended September 30,
1995.  Other expense for the six month period ended September 30, 1996 is
primarily associated with interest expense of approximately $169,000, partially
offset by interest income, and certain other expenses incurred during the
period.  For the six months ended September 30, 1995, other income of
approximately $541,000 resulted primarily from the amortization of a deferred
credit which became fully utilized in March, 1996, offset by interest expense
associated with the Company's revolving line of credit and term loans.


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 1996 equaled $249,000
in comparison to a benefit of $300,000 for the six months ended September 30,
1995.  This represents an overall increase in tax expense of $549,000.  The
Company's tax provision is based on a statutory rate of 35% and reflects the
impact of state and foreign taxes and the utilization of limited net operating
loss carryforwards.

                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 September 30, 1996, the
Company's system revenues backlog was approximately $24.9 million, compared to
$28.8 million at March 31, 1996.  The reduction in the Company's backlog was
primarily due to the fact that the Company made significant shipments during the
period while several orders were awarded during the period but the contracts
were not finalized contracts prior to September 30, 1996.

Substantially all of the Company's backlog as of September 30, 1996 is expected
to be shipped during the current fiscal year.  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 $7.2
million at September 30, 1996 due to the receipt of the net proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering, offset in part by the repayment of debt.
Trade receivables rose $3.8 million from $11.1 million at March 31, 1996 to
$14.9 million at September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of increased revenues
and a significant customer balance which remained unbilled at September 30, 1996
because of terms within the customer's contract.  Total inventory levels
remained consistent period over period as the reclassification of engineering
test items into fixed assets  was offset by increased production inventory
because the Company had already received a significant portion of the materials
needed for third quarter shipments.  The increase in prepaid expenses is
primarily attributable to a prepaid sales commission and prepaid quarterly
income taxes.

The increase in the net balance of property, plant and equipment of $1.5 million
from $2.9 million at March 31, 1996 to $4.4 million at September 30, 1996
reflects capital expenditures of approximately $0.6 million, depreciation
expense of $1.2 million, and the capitalization of approximately $2.6 in
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 upon receiving 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.

Total  current liabilities decreased from $12.9 million at March 31, 1996 to
$10.4 million at September 30, 1996. The decline in accounts payable is
attributable to the timing of vendor payments.  The increase in accrued
liabilities of $1.9 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 increase in accrued liabilities .   The decline in deferred revenue from
$3.9 million at March 31, 1996 to $2.5 million at September 30, 1996 is due to
the recognition of revenue on a significant customer contract which had been
previously deferred.

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


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 $4.6 million
to $1.9 million at September 30, 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 $6.8 million for the period ended September 30, 1996, primarily as
a result of reductions in working capital.  The Company's operating activities
used net cash of approximately $0.8 million for the period ended September 30,
1995 because the Company incurred a substantial net loss for the period.

The Company's investing activities provided approximately $.3 million of cash
for the six months ended September 30, 1996, due to capital expenditures of $0.6
million and $0.9 million cash received from the collection of a note receivable.
The Company's investing activities generated cash of approximately $2.5 million
for the six months ended September 30, 1996, primarily from the sale of the
Company's headquarters for proceeds of $3.3 million, partially offset by the
purchase of capital equipment of $.8 million.

Financing activities provided net cash of approximately $10.2 million for the
six months ended September 30, 1996 while financing activities for the six
months ended September 30, 1995 used net cash of $2.6 million. For the current
period, net debt repayments equaled $4.5 million. Net proceeds of approximately
$14.7 million were realized from the Company's initial public offering.  For the
period ended September 30, 1995, the Company borrowed $5.7 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.
