INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the
table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental information by fund in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds.
The supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

QMS, INC. CASH OR DEFERRED RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General - The financial statements of QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan
(the "Plan") are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Expenses of the
Plan are paid by QMS, Inc. (the "Company").
Investments - Investments other than guaranteed investment contracts are stated
at current quoted market value as determined by the Plan's trustee. The Plan's
investments in guaranteed investment contracts are benefit responsive and are
stated at contract value. The fair value of these contracts approximates their
carrying value. Gain or loss from sale of investments is computed based on the
identified fair value of the investment as of the beginning of the year in
which the investment is sold.
Loans - Loans to participants are recorded at an amount equal to their
remaining principal balance. Interest income related to these notes
receivable is reflected in the investment fund in which loan repayments are
reinvested. The fair value of loans to participants approximates their carrying
value.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard - During 1995, the Plan adopted Statement
of Position (SOP) No. 94-4 Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and
Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans, issued in
September 1994. The new guidance requires defined contribution plans to report
investment contracts with fully benefit-responsive features (as defined in the
SOP) at contract value. Other investment contracts are recorded at fair
value. The impact of adoption of SOP No. 94-4 was insignificant.
2. PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The general administration of the Plan is the responsibility of the
administrator appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Plan assets are held in trust funds which are managed by Merrill Lynch.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete
information.
The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 20,
1987 and amended on January 1, 1994. A registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 became effective on March 15,
1987.
A summary of the major provisions of the Plan is as follows:
* Any employee of the Company or its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries who has
completed one year of employment in which there is no less than one thousand
(1,000) hours of service may elect to become a member of the Plan on January 1
and July 1 in each plan year coincident with or next following the completion of
such service should his/her entry date be prior to September 30, 1989.
Employees whose entry dates are subsequent to September 30, 1989, must complete
five hundred (500) hours of service in a six-month period; such employees are
eligible to participate in the Plan on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1
in each plan year.
* The provisions of the Plan allow each participant to make tax-deferred
contributions and/or nondeductible contributions.
* Plan participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 19% of annual salary to
the Plan. Each employee may contribute a tax-deferred amount not to exceed 10%
of his/her annual salary for the plan year. In addition, each employee may
contribute a non-tax deferred amount up to the aggregate of 9% of his/her salary
for the plan year. Elective deferrals are subject to a government imposed limit
in any one taxable year. For 1995, the limit was $9,240. The Company matches
employee tax deferred contributions in varying percentages with a maximum of
3.5% of an employee's annual salary. Participant benefits are fully vested with
respect to both employee contributions and the Company's matching contribution
upon enrollment.
* At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the employee's interest in the Plan is
represented primarily by five funds as follows:
1) The Basic Value Fund is to be invested primarily in equity securities.
2) The Retirement Preservation Trust is to be invested in guaranteed investment
contracts and other instruments that are intended to produce income, with a
relatively low risk of loss of principal. The average annual interest rate and
the year-end interest crediting rate were 6.49% (1995) and 6.19% (1994).
3) The Corporate Bond Fund is to be invested in long-term corporate bonds.
4) The Company Stock Fund is to be invested in Qualifying Employer Securities
(as defined in the Trust Agreement) which are expected to consist principally of
shares of common stock of the Company, for the purpose of allowing members to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.
5) The Capital Fund is to be invested primarily in equity securities but at
any given time may be invested in corporate bonds or money market securities.
* Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions
and an allocation of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings, and charged
with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on
participant earnings or account balances, as defined.
* The Plan provides for Plan loans to participants. The Plan restricts loans
to a $500 minimum with varying interest rates and repayment period options as
determined by provisions in the Plan document. The Plan Administrator may
uniformly and in a nondiscriminatory manner restrict the number of outstanding
loans per member.
* Employees will be entitled to the full value of their accrued benefits upon
termination of employment, retirement due to disability or the attainment of age
55 or death. At the election of the member, payment is to be made in either a
single lump sum cash payment or in annual or more frequent installments over a
period not exceeding ten years.
* Hardship distributions of part or all of that portion of a member's employee
deferred account consisting of Plan sponsor contributions (but not earnings
thereon) may be allowed by the Plan Administrator before the member's
termination of employment, retirement, disability or death. Any withdrawal from
the Plan may subject the member to adverse income tax consequences.
QMS, Inc. reserves the right at any time to modify, amend or terminate the Plan
or the trust in whole or in part. If the Plan is terminated in whole or in
part, the employees shall be fully vested. Upon the Plan's termination, all of
its assets are to be used solely for the benefit of the members and their
beneficiaries. The Plan is not insured so as to provide guaranteed benefits in
the event of termination of the Plan.

$1,885,045 (1994) due to participants who are no longer active participants
in the Plan.
6. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Party-in-interest investments held by the Plan included $340,097 (1995) and
$196,879 (1994) shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of
approximately $1,530,437 and $1,673,478, respectively.
7. TAX STATUS
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on June 7, 1995, in which the
Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as designed, was in compliance
with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
