Item 5.  Other Events
- -------  ------------

Transact Technologies Incorporated ("Transact"), an 80.3% owned subsidiary of   
Tridex Corporation, has entered into a new OEM agreement with GTECH 
Corporation ("GTECH"), the world's leading supplier of computerized on-line
lottery systems. The new agreement extends the term of a prior agreement from
1998 to 2001. 

An initial non-cancellable order under the new agreement specifies minimum
printer orders through February 1998 with an aggregate sales price of
approximately $16 million. Transact expects this order to more than double its
anticipated sales volume with GTECH in 1997 from 1996 levels. Under the new
agreement, Transact has also agreed to provide service and replacement parts to
GTECH at contract prices for five years after the OEM agreement expires. A copy
of the new agreement is filed as an exhibit to this report.

The statements contained in this report which are not historical facts may be
deemed to contain forward-looking statements with respect to events, the
occurrence of which involves risks and uncertainties, including, without
limitation, demand and competition for the Company's products, and other risks
or uncertainties detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission filings.
