              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   MANAGEMENT OPINION

  In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements
  reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
  the Company as of June 28, 1996, the results of operations for the three and
  nine months ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995 and changes in cash flows
  for the nine months ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995.  All adjustments
  included in the condensed consolidated financial statements are of a normal
  recurring nature except amounts related to the restructuring reserves (see
  Note 6) and reclassification of the revolving credit loan and senior secured
  notes payable from long-term to short-term debt (see Note 4).  The results of
  operations for the nine months ended June 28, 1996 are not necessarily
  indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September
  27, 1996.

2.   PER COMMON SHARE COMPUTATIONS

  Per share computations are based on the weighted average number of common
  shares outstanding during the period and the dilutive effect of the assumed
  exercise of stock options.  This effect was not material for the three- and
  nine-month periods ending June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995 and did not change
  the amounts of the primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per common
  share.

3.   INVENTORIES

  Inventories at June 28, 1996 and September 29, 1995 are summarized as follows

  million to purchase print engines under purchase contracts.

  The Company was contingently liable for approximately $1.2 million as of June
  28, 1996, the result of letters of credit issued in the normal course of
  business for the purchase of inventory.

6.   RESTRUCTURING RESERVES

  At September 29, 1995, the Company had reserves for restructuring charges and
  business divestitures totaling $10.1 million.  During fiscal 1996, total net

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
      
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $1.6 million on net sales of
$38.2 million and for the nine months ended June 28, 1996 was $3.3 million on
net sales of $113 million.  The 1996 results compare to a net loss of $9.5

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 declined by 39% from net sales
for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and by 43.5% in the nine-month comparison.
The sales by key distribution channels in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 (the
three months ended June 28, 1996) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995
(the three months ended  June 30, 1995) and the nine-month periods ending on the
same dates are shown in the table above.  The principal reasons for the sales
declines are the change in the methods of doing business in Europe and Japan and
the sale of the color thermal transfer consumables business.  The combined sales
decline in the Europe and Japan sales channels represents $22.6 million, or
92.2%, of the total decline for the third quarter comparison, and $69.6 million,
or 80.1%, of the total decline for the nine-month comparison.  Sales of color
thermal transfer consumables included in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were
$3.2 million and for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 were $10.3 million.  As
reported in the Company's 10-Q filing for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the
Company has completed the divestiture of its Europe and Japan business
operations to management buy-out groups and established exclusive master
distributor agreements with the new owners of these businesses to market QMS
products in their respective geographic territories.  The Company recognizes
revenue on sales of components and controller boards to these master
distributors and, additionally, commissions are earned by the Company on sales
of QMS products by these master distributors.  As a result, the amount of
revenue recognized through these sales channels in fiscal 1996 is significantly
lower than that recognized in fiscal 1995.

The U.S. direct channel is the Company's primary method of distribution for the
higher end of the Company's product offerings to major corporate accounts and
governmental agencies.  Net sales in the direct channel for the three- and nine-
month periods ending June 28, 1996 declined by 18.5% and 29.9%, respectively,
compared to the same periods in fiscal 1995.  The principal reasons for the
sales declines are increased competition in this sales channel and the sale of
the color thermal transfer consumables business, as discussed above.  Sales of
color thermal transfer consumables included in this channel were $2.1 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 1995, representing 11.5% of the total decline, and
for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 were $6.5 million, also representing
11.5% of the total decline.  However, there was a 27% increase in the U.S.
direct sales channel in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1996.  This increase reflects the impact of the introduction
of the QMS(R) 2425 Print System, a 24 page-per-minute monochrome printer, into
this channel at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

The Company introduced two new color laser print systems during the third
quarter of fiscal 1996.  The first of these print systems is the QMS
magicolor(R) WX, which is a work group printer for Windows(R) 95 environments.
With a list price of $3,999, the magicolor WX was introduced as the least
expensive color laser printer available and is the only color laser printer to
offer direct Windows 95 support without the need to translate data into
PostScript(R), HP(R) PCL or HP-GL.  The Company also introduced the QMS
magicolor CX/40, a print system which features 1200 dpi photographic quality
images, document control and network features.  The introduction of these two
new print systems, combined with the recent introduction of the QMS 2425 Print
System as discussed above, should allow the Company to continue to compete
effectively in the mid- to high-end print system market.

Overall, the Company's gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from
21.7% to 33% in the three-month comparison and from 23.3% to 33.2% in the nine-
month comparison. The reasons for these improvements are a focus on higher
margin products in the sales mix, including service and consumables, and
reductions in manufacturing overhead costs that were achieved in fiscal 1996.

The Company purchases print engine mechanisms and memory components from several
Japanese suppliers.  Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will affect
the prices of these products.  The Company attempts to mitigate possible
negative impacts through yen-sharing arrangements with suppliers, foreign
exchange contracts and price negotiations; however, material price increases
resulting from exchange rate fluctuations could develop which would adversely
affect operating results.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined from $21.6 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1995 to $11 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996
and from $67.6 million to $32.9 million in the nine-month comparison.  These
decreases of $10.6 million and $34.7 million in the three- and nine-month
comparisons, respectively, are due, in part, to the elimination of expenses
associated with the divested business operations in Europe and Japan, which were
$6.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and $19.4 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995.  The remainder of the decreases in selling, general
and administrative expenses from fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1996 result from
cost reductions and restructuring efforts implemented during the latter part of
fiscal 1995.  Net operating expenses, excluding restructuring charges, as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 34.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
to 28.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and also decreased from 32.5% to
29.1% in the nine-month comparison.

Total other expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 decreased 70.5%, from
$1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 to $0.4 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996, and declined $1.2 million, or 40.3%, for the comparable
nine-month periods.  Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and by $1.6
million in the nine-month comparison which was a direct result of the decrease
in total non-trade debt from $38.4 million at September 29, 1995 to $19.6
million at June 28, 1996.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company recognized a tax benefit of
$488,000 from the carryback of its losses in Japan.  This tax benefit resulted
from the loss on the sale of its Japanese operations which was finalized in
early fiscal 1996.  Due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards
and income tax credits, the Company does not anticipate providing for any income
tax expense during fiscal 1996.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
                 
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $7.4 million at September 29,
1995 to $2.6 million at June 28, 1996 results from revised cash management
processes that were implemented as part of the new credit facility with Foothill
Capital Corporation ("Foothill").  This credit facility provides for a direct
flow of the Company's cash receipts to Foothill and a simplified method of re-
borrowing funds from Foothill to meet working capital requirements.

The decreases in trade accounts receivable of $12 million, in inventories of
$15.5 million, in property, plant and equipment of $6 million, in trade accounts
payable of $5.9 million, in short-term bank loans of $7.8 million, and in other
current liabilities of $14.2 million at June 28, 1996 compared to September 29,
1995 are principally the result of the divestitures of the Company's European
and Japanese operations.

The increases in notes receivable (current) of $3.7 million and note receivable
(non-current) of $2.3 million at June 28, 1996 compared to September 29, 1995
represent balances of the notes due from the purchasers of the Company's
business operations in Europe ($4 million) and Japan ($3.5 million).  These
notes are scheduled for repayment over periods of one and five years,
respectively, and all payments are current as of June 28, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
                   
During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company's
working capital and capital expenditure requirements came principally from
operations and borrowings under the new credit facility with Foothill.  Proceeds
from the divestiture of the Company's business operations in Europe and Japan
were used to pay down the Company's short- and long-term debt obligations.  The
Company's net working capital as of June 28, 1996 was $17.8 million compared to
$35.5 million at September 29, 1995.  This reduction is principally due to the
disposition of the European and Japanese operations, the change in the Company's
cash management processes under the Foothill credit facility and the
reclassification of the revolving credit loan and senior secured notes payable
from long-term to short-term debt, as discussed below.

At June 28, 1996, borrowings under the Foothill credit facility were $13.8
million and borrowing capacity under this credit facility totaled $15.5 million,
plus the availability of a $5 million term loan.  During the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, the Company amended the Foothill credit agreement to extend the
terms of the agreement from three years to four years.  In addition, the
availability of the optional $5 million term loan was extended from May 15, 1996
to December 15, 1996.  (See Item 6 for a copy of this amendment.)  The Company
was in compliance with all of the Foothill debt covenants at June 28, 1996.

At June 28, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
contained in the 6.15% senior secured notes payable and, accordingly, this
obligation is classified as short-term debt.  Although the Company has not
received a waiver of the non-compliance, the holder of the senior secured notes
has not taken steps to accelerate repayment of this debt and, in management's
opinion, the status of this debt is unlikely to change.  The Company has
adequate borrowing capacity available as a term loan under the Foothill credit
facility to repay the senior secured notes in the unlikely event that repayment
of these notes is accelerated.

In November 1995, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force released Issue No. 95-22,
"Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding Under Revolving Credit
Arrangements That Include a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box
Arrangement" which required the Company to reclassify its revolving credit loan
from long-term to short-term debt.

Management believes that the Company's continuing working capital and capital
expenditure requirements will be met by cash flow from operations and borrowings
under the Foothill credit facility.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
                      
The Company is a defendant in several cases in the normal course of business.
Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these cases, either
individually or collectively, will not materially affect the Company's financial
position or results of operations.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES - None.
- ------------------------------


ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
- ----------------------------------------


(a)  At June 28, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
contained in the 6.15% senior secured notes payable.  Covenant violations
include noncompliance with minimum net income requirements and interest
coverage.  Although the Company has not received a waiver of the noncompliance,
the holder of the senior secured notes has not taken steps to accelerate
repayment of this debt and, in management's opinion, the status of this debt is
unlikely to change.  The Company has adequate borrowing capacity available as a
term loan under the Foothill credit facility to repay the senior secured notes
in the unlikely event that repayment of these notes is accelerated.  The
Foothill credit facility is a four-year agreement and the Company was in full
compliance with all of the covenants in this agreement as of June 28, 1996.

(b)  None.
