NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by X-Rite Incorporated ("X-Rite" or the "Company"), without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in X-Rite's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted a 4-4-5 quarterly accounting
cycle to accommodate manufacturing schedules that were developed to improve
customer service. The first quarter of 1997 ended on April 5, whereas the
first quarter of 1996 ended on March 31. The Company's 1997 first quarter
results from operations would have been approximately the same if the
current year quarter had ended on March 31 rather than on April 5.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 5, 1997
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month
periods ended April 5, 1997 and March 31, 1996. All such adjustments are
of a normal and recurring nature.

NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE
In March of 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share," was issued. This statement replaces "primary"
earnings per share ("EPS") with "basic" EPS. Basic EPS does not include
the dilutive effect of common shares that could potentially be issued
(i.e., stock options in the case of X-Rite). The Statement is effective
for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997. If the Company
had adopted this standard in the first quarter of 1997 there would have
been no change in the EPS reported. The Company does not believe the
adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial
statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results
of Operations and Financial Condition
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales:
First quarter 1997 consolidated net sales of $23,080,000 were 17.2% higher
than sales of $19,696,000 in the same quarter a year ago. The improvement
in sales was due to unit volume increases in all product categories rather
than price increases.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit:
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 64.8% for the first quarter of
1997, compared to 64.0% for the first quarter of 1996. The increase was
due to a favorable change in product sales mix.
Operating Expenses:
Selling and marketing expenses increased 16.8% in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the same period in 1996. The increase resulted from stepped-up
marketing programs, with an emphasis on products in the graphic arts and
color and appearance categories. As a percentage of sales, selling and
marketing expenses were comparable in 1997 and 1996.
First quarter engineering, general and administrative ("EG&A") expenses
increased 9.3% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. As a
percentage of sales, EG&A expenses were 13.2% in 1997 and 14.2% in 1996.
The relative decline was achieved through ongoing cost containment efforts
aimed at controlling administrative costs.
Research and development expenses in the first quarter increased 11.9%
compared with the same period in 1997. X-Rite is committed to its
investments in strategic product development, while containing costs
wherever possible in order to optimize those investments.
Other Income:
Other income consisted mainly of interest earnings from invested funds.
First quarter interest income was higher than the comparable period in 1997
due to an increase in funds available for investment.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results
of Operations and Financial Condition, continued
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued
Net Income:
The Company recorded net income of $4,246,000 for the three months ended
April 5, 1997 compared to $3,369,000 in the same period of 1996. On a per
share basis, first quarter net income was $.20 in 1997 and $.16 in 1996.
The average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding was
not significantly different between the periods.
PROPOSED ACQUISITION
In April 1997 the Company reached an agreement in principle to acquire
substantially all the assets of Light Source Computer Images, Inc. ("Light
Source"). Light Source is a privately held producer of high-quality,
easy-to-use scanning, imaging and print optimization software. The
agreement is subject to customary conditions to closing, including
satisfactory completion of due diligence.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 1997 totaled
$6,834,000. Working capital at April 5, 1997 was $30,597,000 compared to
$28,257,000 at December 31, 1996. The increase in working capital was
mainly due to net income earned in the period.
Capital expenditures in the first three months of 1997 totaled $783,000 and
consisted mainly of machinery and equipment. X-Rite currently anticipates
capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997 will be approximately
$3,000,000 and will consist principally of machinery and equipment.
Management expects that X-Rite's current liquidity, combined with cash flow
from future operations and the Company's $20 million revolving credit
agreement, will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations, proposed
acquisitions, capital expenditures and dividends for the remainder of 1997
and 1998.
