             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                               September 30, 1997

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for complete financial statements. 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 three-month period
ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending June 30, 1998.

ORGANIZATION

     Prior to June 30, 1997, Transition Analysis Component Technology, Inc.
("TACTech" or the "Company") was a 90% owned subsidiary of Zing Technologies,
Inc. ("Zing"), the Company's former parent, and the remaining 10% was owned by
one officer of the Company.

     The Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-1, which became
effective June 30, 1997, for the purpose of distributing the Common Stock of the
Company which was owned by Zing to the shareholders of Zing (the
"Distribution"). In connection with the Distribution, the Common Stock
authorized and outstanding was split on approximately a 36.436-for-one basis.

     Also, in connection with the Distribution, inter-company advances
(excluding income taxes) as of the effective date of the Distribution were
converted to equity and, accordingly, were included within additional paid-in
capital.

     As of the date of the Distribution, the Company engaged certain employees
of Zing (with the permission of Zing) on a part-time basis to render to the
Company the following services for a cost not to exceed $100,000 per year
including: to advise in the development of the Company's business plan, to
advise the Company with respect to and to negotiate agreements on the Company's
behalf, to coordinate communications with the Company's stockholders, to advise
the Company with respect to and to negotiate acquisitions and financing, to
prepare and file the Company's tax returns and reports required by applicable
securities laws and rules of applicable stock exchanges, to review and supervise
the Company's accounting department and systems from time to time and suggest
revisions and changes thereto, and to perform such further services as such
employees may agree.

purpose and wholly-owned by the Company with and into RAC. Upon consummation of
the Merger, RAC, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. The RAC acquisition was accounted for pursuant to the purchase
method of accounting and is effective as of September 1, 1997.

     The following unaudited pro-forma information has been prepared assuming
that this acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the respective
quarters, after giving effect to pro-forma adjustments for compensation accruals
and income taxes:

                                                       ----          ----

     Revenue ..................................      $756,076      $737,123
     Net (Loss) Income ........................       ($4,851)     $100,807
     Net (Loss) Income per Common Share .......        ($0.01)        $0.17

     Historically, RAC derived revenues from consulting services and
customer-specific projects (other than those specifically related to
indenturing/component library services being developed by TACTech and known as
"TACTRAC"). Such non-TACTRAC related revenue was derived by RAC typically under
cost plus fixed fee contracts with the Department of Defense and government
contractors and related specifically to training services, engineering support
and logistics support. These contractual services dealt with issue of
reliability, maintainability, failure analysis, reliability predictions, circuit
card redesign, provisioning and weapons system file data extraction.

     It is the intention of TACTech selectively to disengage from RAC's
non-TACTRAC related activity, redirect resources toward software development and
marketing, and increase TACTRAC subscription revenue. Thus, in the short term,
as TACTech develops the TACTRAC product, software development costs will in all
likelihood increase and may exceed RAC revenues. TACTech anticipates marketing
the TACTRAC product through TACTech (rather than RAC) channels. There can be no
assurance that TACTech will be able successfully to develop and market the
TACTRAC product and that such failure will not result in a material adverse
effect upon TACTech.

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)


     In Accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived assets for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", the Company assesses
the recoverability of cost in excess of net assets acquired by determining
whether the amortization of the asset balance over its remaining life can be
recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows. The Company
believes that no impairment has occurred and that no reduction in the estimated
useful life is warranted.

Loan Payable - Bank

     On August 28, 1997, the Company entered into a $1,500,000 revolving credit
facility with a commercial bank (the "Bank") to be used for working capital and
equipment acquisitions. The facility has a three year term and is guaranteed by
Zing. Interest on all borrowings is at a variable rate tied to the Bank's prime
rate. All of the Company's personal property collateralizes borrowings under
such facility.

Impact of New Accounting Standard

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which specifies a change in the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share and
requires the restatement of all prior periods. The Statement is required to be
adopted for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Accordingly, the Company
will comply with the requirements of this standard, however, the Company does
not expect that the impact of applying this standard will be material.

Stock-Based Compensation and Pro Forma Information

     Under the provisions of FASB No. 123, the Company is required to disclose
the fair value, as defined, of options granted to employees and related
compensation expense. The fair value for these options is estimated at the date
of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option
valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded
options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In
addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's
employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those
of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing
models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of
its employee stock options.

     The Company is also required to present pro forma information as if
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 had been implemented as of the date of the
stock options were granted. For the year ended January 31, 1997. The disclosure
provisions of FASB Statement NO. 123 do not produce information that differs
materially from that contained in the consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATION - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO 
 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

     TACTech generates revenues primarily through license agreements for its
data base services. These agreements are generally for terms of twelve months,
but may be canceled by either party upon 30 days notice. The number of
subscriber licenses generating revenues was greater by approximately 18% at
September 30, 1997 as compared to as at September 30, 1996.

     The Company reported income of $26,000 or $.05 per share for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of 70% from the comparable 1996 quarter of
reported income of $87,000 or $.16 per share.

     Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $648,000
compared to revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 of $527,000.

     Sales for TACTech increased 23% for the three months ended September 30,
1997 over the comparable 1996 quarter due principally to an increase of
approximately 18% in the subscription base and $40,000 of sales from Research
Analysis Corporation ("RAC"), a company acquired as of September 1, 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of
revenues to 93% for the three months

ended September 30, 1997 compared to 75% for the comparable 1996 period.
Approximately $62,000, or 10% of selling, general and administrative expenses
were attributable to RAC. The balance of the increase in the selling, general
and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased personnel costs as
illustrated in the following table:

     The provision for income taxes decreased from $38,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 to $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
primarily as a result of the decrease in income before taxes of $92,000.

     The Company filed its federal income taxes on a consolidated basis for
fiscal year ended 1997 with its former parent, Zing. Income taxes were computed
on a separate company basis pursuant to the liability method.

     The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal tax rate of
34% is due to the effect of the graduated federal tax rate schedule and state
taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company used most of its
cash generated from operations for the acquisition of computers and computer
related equipment and for the reduction of its obligations to its former parent
company, Zing. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, cash generated
from operations and from a line of credit was used to fund operations and to
purchase computers and related equipment, to liquidate all obligations to its
former parent company, Zing, and to pay costs related to the acquisition of RAC.

     Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations and plans for
integrating the RAC business, the Company believes that is cash flow from
operations, combined with borrowings available under the existing line of
credit, will be sufficient to meet is current and anticipated cash operating
requirements, including scheduled interest and principal payments, capital
expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable future.


                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

     When used in this Form 10-Q, and in future filings by TACTech with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in TACTech's press releases and in any oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized TACTech executive officer,
the words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue",
"is anticipated", "estimate", "project", or similar expressions are intended to
identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties,


                                    Page 10

                 Transition Analysis Component Technology, Inc.

including those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors and Cautionary
Statements" below, that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical earnings or those presently anticipated or projected. TACTech wishes
to caution readers not to place undo reliance on such "forward-looking
statements", which speak only as of the date made. TACTech wishes to advise
readers that factors listed below could affect TACTech's financial performance
and could cause TACTech's actual results for future periods to differ materially
form any opinion or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any
current statements.

     TACTech will NOT undertake and specifically declines any obligation to
publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

Dependence on Key Personnel

     The business of TACTech is substantially dependent upon the active
participation and technical expertise of its executive officers. TACTech is
dependent upon the services of Malcolm Baca, its Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer. The Company currently maintains a key-man life
insurance policy on such executive officer in the amount of $1,700,000. The
Company's Board of Directors regularly re-evaluates the need for and the amount
of such key-man life insurance. There can be no assurance, however, that TACTech
can obtain executives of comparable expertise and commitment in the event of
death, or that the business of TACTech would not suffer material adverse effects
as the result of the death (notwithstanding coverage by key-man insurance),
disability or voluntary departure or any such executive officer.

Competition

     TACTech's license agreements are cancelable on thirty (30) days notice.
Approximately 50% of TACTech's information for its data bases comes from
numerous companies in the private sector. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that existing arrangements with private suppliers of data will continue in
effect or, if they are canceled, that TACTech will be able to enter into
arrangements with other suppliers on terms as beneficial to TACTech as those
presently in effect. Moreover, there can be no assurance that other companies,
including existing customers of TACTech, will not avail themselves of sources of
data to develop their own software and data base services either in competition
with TACTech or to enable them to have their own sources for such services.
TACTech's software services and data bases are protected by trade secret
provisions of license agreements and by copyright laws, but because such
provisions and laws are frequently difficult or costly to enforce, there can be
no assurance that such protection will prove effective.

Technical Changes and New Product Development

     In the event of changes in the structure of the computer hardware systems
used by subscribers to operate TACTech's data software, TACTech would incur
capital costs for new equipment and development costs in connection with the
reconfiguring of its software programs, which cost could be substantial and
could have an adverse effect on TACTech's profitability. In addition, TACTech
regularly incurs capital costs in connection with its new product development in
advance of their being ready for market, and there can be no assurance that such
new products will prove profitable.
