Item 5.     OTHER EVENTS
            ------------

      On November 7, 1995, QMS, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Loan and
Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Foothill Capital Corporation in
the principal amount of $30,000,000. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving
line of credit in an amount not to exceed $30,000,000, with sub-facilities for
(a) a term loan in the amount of $1,750,000 (the "Term A Loan"), (b) letters of
credit in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 and (c) an additional term loan
facility in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the "Term B Loan"). The
revolving line of credit and the ability to obtain letters of credit are limited
by a borrowing base formula as more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement. The
Term A Loan is to be repaid in equal monthly installments of $35,000, commencing
on December 1, 1995. All of the obligations under the Loan Agreement bear
interest at the Reference Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 1.50%. As
of the date hereof, the Term B Loan remains available to the Company until March
31, 1996, and can be used solely to repay certain existing indebtedness of the
Company which is secured by the Company's headquarters facility. The initial
proceeds of the credit facility were for general working capital purposes and to
repay in full certain indebtedness of the Company held by AmSouth Bank, N.A.,
National Citibank, Kentucky, and NationsBank of Georgia, N.A. and certain
indebtedness owed to Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. The Loan
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated by reference
herein.

      The Loan Agreement is secured by all of the Company's assets other than
real estate and is guaranteed by QMS Canada Inc. and QMS Circuits, Inc. The
guarantees of QMS Canada Inc. and QMS Circuits, Inc. are secured by all of the
assets of such persons, other than real estate. In addition, the Company has
granted Foothill Capital Corporation a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The
warrant is exercisable at any time from November 7, 1995 through November 7,
1999. The Company granted certain demand and piggy-back registration rights to
the holder of the warrant and its transferees.
