                       ABC DISPENSING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
-------------------------

     ABC ("the Company") is a technology firm.  Our core competence is our
ability to use existing technology and to create new technology to develop
dispensing systems and mechanisms.  Our interpretation of dispensing systems
and the related technology is unrestricted.  The Company is not limited to
dispensing liquids; the Company will dispense virtually any substance.  The
Company is not limited to pneumatic or electronic technology; the Company will
utilize any technology, including: mechanical, electro-mechanical, hydraulic, 
and sonic.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have 
been included. Operating results for the nine months ended January 27, 1996 
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 
ended April 27, 1996.

YEAR END - Effective May 1, 1994, the Company changed the fiscal year-end to
the Saturday closest to April 30, which results in a fifty-two or fifty-three
week year.  Both fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995 consist of fifty-two weeks.  The
thirteen week quarters for fiscal 1996 end July 29, October 28, January 27, and
April 27.  The thirteen week quarters for fiscal 1995 ended July 30, October
29, January 28, and April 29.

CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries, ABC Dispensing Technologies, Inc. and ABC
TechCorp.  Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT - In the normal course of business, the Company enters
into transactions to meet the financing needs of customers.  The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition and
generally requires collateral from customers who finance purchases beyond
thirty days.  The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with
nonperformance on these transactions is limited to amounts reflected in the
Company's consolidated financial statements, less the value, if any, of the
secured equipment.

INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT - These assets are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided primarily by use of the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

PATENTS - Patents are recorded at cost.  Amortization is provided under the
straight-line method over a period of five years or less.

SELLING RIGHTS - Selling rights are recorded at cost.  The Company has acquired
from The Sherwin-Williams Company the rights to sell a chemical coatings
dispensing product originally developed exclusively for The Sherwin-Williams
Company.  Amortization is provided under the straight-line method over a period
of three years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue on equipment sales is recognized when the product
is shipped and title transfers, including equipment that requires subsequent
installation.  Revenue for development services and for service and support is
recognized when the service is performed unless there is a service contract.
Revenue from service contracts is recognized ratably over the contract term,
generally one year. Royalty income is recognized in accordance with the terms
of the royalty agreement, which generally provides that royalties are based on
units shipped.

MAJOR CUSTOMER - Revenues from The Sherwin-Williams Company were 78 and 63
percent of the Company's total revenues, for the nine months ended January 27,
1996 and January 28, 1995, respectively.

PROVISION FOR WARRANTY CLAIMS - Estimated warranty costs are provided at the
time of sale of the warranted products.

NET LOSS PER SHARE - Net loss per share is computed on the basis of
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Common stock
equivalents are not material, and therefore, are not included in the
computation of primary earnings per share.

4.   FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
---------------------------

BANK NOTE

     In June 1994, the Company purchased its headquarters facility in Akron,
Ohio for $490,000.

     The note payable to the bank was entered into during fiscal 1995 to 
partially finance the purchase of the headquarters facility which was 
previously leased. The note payable has an adjustable interest rate (9.25% at 
January 27, 1996) which may not increase or decrease by more than 2% once every 
three years. The maximum increase or decrease is 6% over the life of the loan.
Principal and interest payments of $3,026 are payable monthly with the balance 
of $143,000 due October 1, 2005.  The note payable is secured by the 
headquarters facility.  The facility has a net book value of $466,000.

Long-term debt consists of the following at January 27, 1996:

     Maturities of long-term debt for the five years subsequent to April 29,
1995 are as follows: 1996-$10,000; 1997-$11,000; 1998-$12,000; 1999-$13,000 and
2000-$15,000.

"BRIDGE" NOTES

     On June 13, 1995, the Company initiated a private offering to sell 20
units of $25,000 10% Senior Subordinate Notes due June 1, 1998 and three year
redeemable warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of the Company's common stock at
$2 per share.  The transaction was exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933.  19 units were issued under the offering, providing the
Company with $475,000 in proceeds.  The Notes include a repayment provision
requiring the Company to apply 40% of the net proceeds received by it from the
sale of any of its Common Stock other than Common Stock issued upon the
exercise of employee, director, or consultant stock options, to the pro-rata
repayment of the Notes within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such proceeds.
As a result of this repayment provision the notes were paid in full on February
16, 1996.

"MEZZANINE" NOTE

     On January 17, 1996, the Company obtained a $500,000 working capital loan
from the Mezzanine Financial Fund, L.P.  Interest is due monthly at the rate of
18% per annum.  The terms of the Loan require a $100,000 repayment of principal
on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing of the Loan. The
balance of $300,000 is due on the third anniversary.  Mezzanine, at its option,
may convert the principal amount of the Loan into Common Stock at a price of
$3.00 per share, or, if the entire Loan is converted, 166,666 shares of Common
Stock (including standard anti-dilution provisions).  In consideration for
providing the Loan, Mezzanine received a five (5) year warrant to acquire
shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the lower of seventy percent (70%)
of the 30-day average trading price prior to closing of the Loan, or $2.50 (the
"Price").  The warrant exercise price was therefore determined to be $2.04 per
share.  The number of shares subject to the warrant will be determined by
dividing the Price into an amount equal to 10% of the average annual Loan
balance multiplied by the number of years the Loan is outstanding (the "Warrant
Fee").  The resulting maximum number of warrants that could be issued are
58,910.  At Mezzanine's election, all or any part of the Warrant Fee may be put
to the Company upon repayment of the Loan for payment in cash in the amount
equal to 70% of such Warrant Fee, paid in equal monthly payments over the same
number of months that the Loan was outstanding. Additionally, Mezzanine
received a closing fee equal to 2% of the amount of the Loan and reimbursement
for expenses associated with the making of the Loan.

     Herbert M. Pearlman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is
a director, officer and principal stockholder of the general partner of
Mezzanine.  Mr. Pearlman is also Chairman, chief  executive officer and a
principal stockholder of Helm Resources, Inc., a publicly traded company which 
holds an approximately 14% equity stake in Mezzanine.

     At April 29, 1995, the Company had Federal net operating loss
carryforwards for tax reporting purposes of approximately $12,799,000 which
expire in the years 1996 to 2010.  It is uncertain if benefits relating to
these deferred tax assets are realizable and accordingly, a valuation allowance
equal to the amount of such deferred tax assets has been recorded.

7.   OPERATING LEASES
---------------------

     For the nine months ended January 27, 1996 and January 28, 1995, aggregate
rental expense for all operating leases, except those with terms of a month or
less, was $29,000, and $40,000, respectively.

8.   RETIREMENT BENEFITS
------------------------

     The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan which covers substantially all full-
time employees.  Eligible employees may contribute up to 14% of their
compensation to this plan.  The Company has agreed to match participants'
contributions at the rate of 25 cents on the dollar up to a maximum of 4% of
the participants' compensation.  The cost of the Company's matching
contribution for the nine months ended January 27, 1996 and January 28, 1995
amounted to $9,000, and $6,000, respectively.  The Company has the discretion
to make a profit-sharing contribution, but no such contribution has been made
by the Company.

9.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
----------------------

     On March 13, 1995, the Company and other defendants (officers and
directors and former directors of the Company) entered into a Stipulation of
Settlement (the "Settlement") with the Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit
(the "Securities Litigation") that provided for the Settlement of the
Securities Litigation.  The Settlement provided for a Gross Settlement Fund of
$1,850,000, plus 1,550,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The
Stipulation defined the Plaintiff class as "all persons who purchased ABCC
common stock on the open market from January 24, 1990 through August 1, 1991,
inclusive."  On June 19, 1995, the U.S. Federal District Court for the Southern
District of New York entered a Final Judgment approving the Settlement as
"fair, reasonable and adequate to members of the class." Pursuant to the terms
of the Final Judgment, on July 6, 1995, Plaintiffs' counsel were paid
attorneys' fees of $550,000 (plus $1,078 of accrued interest after taxes) on
the cash portion of the Settlement Fund and were reimbursed $244,394 for
expenses out of the Gross Settlement Fund.  Plaintiffs' counsel also received
an aggregate of 465,000 shares of common stock of the Company awarded to
Plaintiffs' counsel from the Gross Settlement Fund as a portion of attorneys'
fees.  These shares of common stock were distributed to Plaintiffs' counsel in
early February 1996.

     On January 16, 1996, the U.S. Federal District Court ordered the
distribution of the Net Settlement Fund consisting of approximately $1,085,000
cash and 1,085,000 shares of common stock of the Company to 1,469 authorized
claimants.  The distribution to authorized claimants was made pursuant to the
Order of the Court on about February 23, 1996.  There is no further action to
be taken in connection with the Securities Litigation since the Settlement has
been effectuated in accordance with the Order of the Court.

     Refer to the Company's SEC Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30,
1994 and the Company's SEC Form 10-Q for the period ended October 28, 1995 for
additional information regarding the Securities Litigation.

     The estimated legal fees and settlement costs have been accrued for the
above action.  The remaining accrual as of January 27, 1996 was $100,000, as
certain legal fees remain unpaid.  The accrual as of April 29, 1995 was
$1,498,000.

     The Company presently is not involved as a defendant in any litigation.

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

     The Company reports on a fiscal year end on the Saturday closest to April

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     ABC ("the Company") is a technology firm.  Our core competence is our
ability to use existing technology and to create new technology to develop
dispensing systems and mechanisms.  Our interpretation of dispensing systems
and the related technology is unrestricted.  The Company is not limited to
dispensing liquids; the Company will dispense virtually any substance.  The
Company is not limited to pneumatic or electronic technology, the Company will
utilize any technology, including: mechanical, electro-mechanical, hydraulic, 
and sonic.

     Dispensing pervades nearly every industry.  Dispensing plays a key role in
some of the world's largest industries: for example, transportation,
medical/pharmaceutical, and food service, to name a few.  In addition to a
growing, global demand for dispensing systems for fuel, drugs, and beverages,
there is a need for dispensing systems in the construction industry for
concrete additives, the graphics industry for printing ink, and the paint
industry for tints and bases.  Everyday each of us uses water in our homes,
without thinking of it as a dispensing system-- but it is.  The industrial use
of water for cooling, heating, and cleaning also requires a dispensing system.
Dispensing systems are an ubiquitous part of most individual's and business'
daily routines.  Dispensing occurs at the manufacturing, wholesale, retail and
residential levels.  The current trend in corporate downsizing could create
additional opportunities for outsourced research and development.

     Our strategy is to develop dispensing systems and components in
partnership with industry leaders who have significant market shares and
effective marketing organizations.  These new dispensing systems are to be
marketed by our business partners.  Our joint efforts will maximize our
technological strengths and capitalize on the marketing strengths of our
industry leading partners.

     As a research and development company, the Company faces certain inherent
risks: (1) new product ideas may not advance beyond the development stage; (2)
new products could be technically successful but fail commercially; (3)
successful new products could develop unplanned warranty expenses or face
recall; (4) new products could be replaced by more advanced competitive
products; and (5) sufficient funds may not be available to complete the
development of new products.

SIGNIFICANT INCOMING ORDERS

     On July 17, 1995, the Company received a $7 million initial order for its
new Juice Dispenser. This is the largest single order the Company has ever
received and brought the Company's backlog to a record $9.4 million as of July
17, 1995. The microprocessor-driven system mixes and dispenses from juice
concentrates, ensuring a controlled mixture and an accurate, standard portion.
The Company filed for a patent on the controlling electronics and software.  To
date, the Company has shipped four field test units and expects to ship an
additional 30 field test units in April 1996.  Shipments of subsequent units
are expected to be spread over a period of 18 months.

     On December 7, 1995, the Company received a $1.8 million order from The
Sherwin-Williams Company for Tint-A-Color dispensers.  The Company expects to
begin shipping this order in April 1996.  This incoming order brought the
Company's backlog to approximately $8.9 million as of January 27, 1996.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 27, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 28,
1995

     The net loss was $919,000 for the current period compared to $1,991,000
for the same period last year.  The current period includes a $328,000 positive
adjustment to reduce the Class Action settlement accrual to the required
amount.  Total revenues for the current period were $4,236,000 compared to
prior year-to-date total revenues of $2,994,000.

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

NINE  MONTHS  ENDED JANUARY 27, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED  JANUARY 28,
1995 (CONTINUED)

     The increase in paint services/component sales is due to the increased
number of installed paint dispensers now being serviced versus the same period
last year.  On February 13, 1995, the Company received a $990,000 initial order
of "TAC-CB" units, the down-sized, lower-cost tint dispenser designed expressly
for paint retailers and chains.  The TAC-CB was in joint development for two
years with Sherwin-Williams. The Company shipped this order in May-October
1995.

The FY95 and FY96 history of Tint-A-Color orders and shipments is as follows:

<TABLE>

TAC             March 1994            June-October 1994         $1,659,000
TAC-CB          February 1995          May-October 1995         $  990,000
TAC             April 1995            July-October 1995         $1,856,000
TAC             December 1995     (Est.)April-July 1996         $1,855,000
</TABLE>

     The Company's gross profit on overall equipment sales is 27.5% year-to-
date as compared to 21.7% for the same period last year.  The difference is
attributed to a $150,000 inventory write-off taken in FY95.

     General and administrative expenses increased 37% from the same period
last year primarily due to adding (1) Public relations personnel, (2) 
Chairman's salary and office support, and (3) Supplemental legal counsel for 
public company matters.

     Selling and marketing expenses increased 5% from the same period last year
due to the international marketing effort for both paint and beverage products.

     Research and development expenses increased 28% from the same period last
year as a result of increased new product development activity.  Numerous
dispensing applications were under development during FY95 and these
development projects have continued into FY96. The Juice Dispenser and TAC-CB
were two such projects.

     The distribution of the Class Action settlement fund (see Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) and the valuation of the Company's
contributed common stock to the fund has allowed the Company to lower the
accrual by $328,000 for settlement costs and legal expenses.  The Company had
originally accrued $1,000,000 in FY95 to record estimated remaining settlement
costs and legal fees.  The remaining accrual is now $100,000, which provides
for final payments of legal fees.

     The category Other Expense primarily represents loans interest expense and
the amortization of original issue discounts and loan fees.

SALES BACKLOG

     As of January 27, 1996 sales order backlog (unshipped product orders) was
$8,891,000. As of January 28, 1995, backlog was $148,000.

QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 27, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 28, 1995

     The net loss was $411,000 for the current quarter ("Q96"), compared to
$1,552,000 for the same period last year ("Q95").  Q96 included a $328,000
positive adjustment and Q95 included a $1,000,000 negative adjustment to the
accrual for Class Action settlement costs and legal expenses, respectively.
Total revenues for Q96 were $425,000 compared to Q95 revenues of $463,000.

                                      $224,000     $181,000
</TABLE>

     The Company's gross profit on overall equipment sales was 26.9% for Q96 as
compared to a negative 23.4% for Q95.  The negative margin in Q95 was the
result of recording a $150,000 inventory write-off.

     On December 11, 1995, the Company announced it had renegotiated
exclusivity contracts for the domestic paint and chemical coatings industries.
The paint contract was extended to April 1997 and amended to allow the Company
to market both high volume and small-scale automated paint dispensers directly
to paint retailers nationwide.  Previously, the Company relied on The
Sherwin-Williams Company ("Sherwin-Williams") to market the above dispensing
systems.

     In the chemical coatings market, the Company's technology offers state-
of-the-art efficiency and accuracy for dispensing precise measurements of
coatings and is designed to be intrinsically safe for dispensing solvent- based
chemicals.  The Company's renegotiated chemical coatings agreement allows it to
market its unique dispensing system directly to automotive, printing, paint,
and other potential customers in North America.  As a result of the release
from Sherwin-Williams' exclusivity, the Company has agreed to rebate to
Sherwin-Williams the $175,000 research and development costs incurred by
Sherwin-Williams.  The Company has capitalized this cost as an intangible
asset, "Selling Rights," and is amortizing this asset on a straight line basis
over a period of three years.  The amortization expense during Q96 was $15,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash balance decreased to $650,000 as of January 27, 1996
from $1,309,000 as of April 29, 1995. Class Action settlement and fee payments
(see Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements) required $603,000 this year.
The Company also contributed 150,000 shares of common stock to the Class Action
settlement fund.

     Operations required an additional $1,271,000.  To aid in financing these
cash demands during this growth year, the Company issued $475,000 in 10% senior
subordinated notes ("bridge loan") due June 1, 1998. Each unit ($25,000) of
this note was granted 12,500 three-year warrants at an exercise price of $2.00. 
Interest payments are due semi-annually on June 1 and December 1. The Company
also agreed to use 40% of the net proceeds of the issuance of Common Stock
(other than via employee/director stock options) to prepay the notes within 60
days of the receipt of such proceeds.  As of January 27, 1996, the Company has
repaid $457,000 on these notes;  these repayments were triggered by the
issuance of common stock.     

     The Company sold 278,000 registered shares at $2.25 per share in private
transactions, for net proceeds of $593,000.

     Additional financing was received via the exercise of 214,000 warrants for
the purchase of 214,000 common shares at the exercise price of $2.00 per share
for a total of $428,000.  These warrants were distributed in the August-
September 1994 private placement of 1,000,000 common shares.

     The Company also borrowed $500,000 from the Mezzanine Financial Fund, L.P.
This note is an asset-based 3-year term loan of $500,000 bearing 18% A.P.R.
Details of this loan are disclosed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

     The Company also has established an account receivable-based credit line
of $750,000 with Foothill Capital Corporation.  This credit line bears an
interest rate of prime plus four points.

  Fiscal year 1996 is a growth year for the Company. The year to date revenues
and backlog of orders is approximately 4 times the total revenues of the
Company for Fiscal year 1995.  The Company must complete the development of
certain new products, acquire inventory, build and ship finished products, and
collect its receivable to complete each business cycle.  During this growth
period, the Company will utilize various funding alternatives; including: 
(1) Accounts receivable credit lines, (2) Asset-based term loans, (3) Private
placements, (4) Warrant exercises, and (5) Employee/director stock option 
exercises.

     If the above sources of cash do not become available or are not
sufficient, the Company may be forced to curtail marketing and R&D activities
which would adversely affect future operating results.

     At the Annual Stockholders meeting held March 1, 1996, the proposal to
increase the number of authorized common stock from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000
shares was approved.

PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
--------------------------

     On March 13, 1995, the Company and other defendants (officers and
directors and former directors of the Company) entered into a Stipulation of
Settlement (the "Settlement") with the Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit
(the "Securities Litigation") that provided for the Settlement of the
Securities Litigation.  The Settlement provided for a Gross Settlement Fund of
$1,850,000, plus 1,550,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The
Stipulation defined the Plaintiff class as "all persons who purchased ABCC
common stock on the open market from January 24, 1990 through August 1, 1991,
inclusive."  On June 19, 1995, the U.S. Federal District Court for the Southern
District of New York entered a Final Judgment approving the Settlement as
"fair, reasonable and adequate to members of the class." Pursuant to the terms
of the Final Judgment, on July 6, 1995, Plaintiffs' counsel were paid
attorneys' fees of $550,000 (plus $1,078 of accrued interest after taxes) on
the cash portion of the Settlement Fund and were reimbursed $244,394 for
expenses out of the Gross Settlement Fund.  Plaintiffs' counsel also received
an aggregate of 465,000 shares of common stock of the Company awarded to
Plaintiffs' counsel from the Gross Settlement Fund as a portion of attorneys'
fees.  These shares of common stock were distributed to Plaintiffs' counsel in
early February 1996.

     On January 16, 1996, the U.S. Federal District Court ordered the
distribution of the Net Settlement Fund consisting of approximately $1,085,000
cash and 1,085,000 shares of common stock of the Company to 1,469 authorized
claimants.  The distribution to authorized claimants was made pursuant to the
Order of the Court on about February 23, 1996.  There is no further action to
be taken in connection with the Securities Litigation since the Settlement has
been effectuated in accordance with the Order of the Court.

     Refer to the Company's SEC Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30,
1994 and the Company's SEC Form 10-Q for the period ended October 28, 1995 for
additional information regarding the Securities Litigation.

     The estimated legal fees and settlement costs have been accrued for the
above action.  The remaining accrual as of January 27, 1996 was $100,000, as
certain legal fees remain unpaid.  The accrual as of April 29, 1995 was
$1,498,000.

     The Company presently is not involved as a defendant in any litigation.
