ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.

(B)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

This amended Form 8-K for QMS, Inc. presents pro forma financial information
consisting of a pro forma consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) as of
September 29, 1995 and a pro forma consolidated statement of operations
(unaudited) for the fiscal year ended September 29, 1995.  These pro forma
financial statements reflect the disposition of the Company's operational
assets in Europe and Japan.


The disposition of the European assets was completed on October 16, 1995
through the sale of all of the common shares of QMS Europe BV and QMS
Australia Pty Ltd. This transaction was previously reported on the original
Form 8-K filed on October 31, 1995.  The disposition of the Japanese assets
was completed on December 8, 1995 through the sale of substantially all of the
assets of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary QMS Japan KK to a new company
also known as QMS Japan KK.  As part of this transaction, the new QMS Japan KK
assumed most of the liabilities of the former QMS Japan KK.  This transaction
was reported in the Company's fiscal 1995 Form 10-K filed on December 21, 1995
and the transaction documents were filed as exhibit 10(s) thereto.

The pro forma financial information below is presented for the fiscal year
ended September 29, 1995 and shows how the above two transactions would have
affected the results of operations for this period and the balance sheet as of
September 29, 1995.

Net sales would have decreased by $70.5 million and gross profit by $21.5
million.  These decreases are offset by reductions in operating expenses of
$28.1 million and an increase in other income of $1.2 million resulting in
an improvement in net income (loss) of $7.8 million for fiscal 1995.

Total assets would have decreased by $25 million which represents the
assets which were sold or liquidated and utilization of the cash proceeds
from the transactions as well as the cash resulting from the additional pro
forma net income (loss) to reduce long-term debt and accounts payable.
