         The unaudited interim condensed  consolidated  financial  statements of
         Electronics  for Imaging,  Inc. (the Company) as of and for the interim
         periods  ended  September 30, 1996 have been prepared on the same basis
         as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year
         ended  December 31, 1995,  contained in the Company's  Annual Report to
         Stockholders,   and,  in  the  opinion  of   management,   include  all
         adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
         to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results
         of its operations and cash flows, in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting  principles.  The interim condensed  consolidated  financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the audited  consolidated
         financial statements and notes thereto referred to above.

         The  preparation  of  the  interim  condensed   consolidated  financial
         statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles
         for such financial statements requires management to make estimates and
         assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
         and disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities as of the date of
         the  interim  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  and  the
         reported  amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting  period.
         Actual results could differ from these estimates.

         The interim  results of the Company  are subject to  fluctuation.  As a
         result,  the Company believes the results of operations for the interim
         periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the
         results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.


2.       Stock Split

         The Company effected on November 30, 1995, a two-for-one stock split in
         the form of a stock dividend  payable to  stockholders  of record as of
         November  20,  1995.  All  references  in  the  condensed  consolidated
         financial  statements to weighted average numbers of shares outstanding
         and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split.

     ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
audited consolidated  financial statements of Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (the
Company) and related notes thereto contained in the Company's 1995 Annual Report
to  Stockholders.  All  assumptions,  anticipations,  expectations and forecasts
contained  herein  are   forward-looking   statements  that  involve  risks  and
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ  materially from those
discussed here. For a more complete discussion of factors which might impact the
Company's results, please see the section entitled "Factors that Could Adversely
Affect  Performance"  below  and the  section  entitled  "Risk  Factors"  in the
Company's  1995 Annual  Report on Form 10-K,  as filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  The Company  periodically  reviews such factors to ensure
their appropriateness.

Results of Operations

Revenue

The Company's  revenue was $75.1 million in the third quarter of 1996,  compared
to $48.5  million in the  corresponding  quarter of 1995.  Revenue  for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 was $207.8  million,  compared to $133.7 million
in the corresponding  period of 1995. The substantial  majority of the Company's
revenue to date is attributable to the sale of Fiery and Fiery XJ Color Servers.
The increase in revenue reflects  continued  market  acceptance of the Company's
Fiery XJ Color Server and Fiery XJe  Controller  products,  the expansion of the
Company's  sales and marketing  organizations,  and  increased  revenue from the
Company's OEM sales channels due to the above-mentioned market acceptance and an
increase in the number of the Company's OEM partners.  Substantially  all of the
Company's  sales in the third quarter of 1996 and 1995 were to its OEM partners.
No  assurance  can be given  that the  Company's  relationships  with  these OEM
partners  will  continue;  in the  event  that  any  of  such  relationships  is
discontinued or scaled back, the Company could experience a significant negative
impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company completed in the fourth quarter of 1995 an agreement with Canon Inc.
for the  purchase  of Fiery XJ  Color  Servers.  The  agreement  provides  Canon
exclusive  distribution  rights for Fiery XJ Color Servers  designed for Canon's
proprietary  color  copiers.  The agreement  effectively  replaced the Company's
existing  distribution  channel through the Canon dealer and distributor network
beginning  in April 1995 with  shipments to Canon under the terms of a letter of
intent preceding the agreement.  This arrangement has resulted to some extent in
lower  associated  selling and marketing costs. The Company sells Fiery XJ Color
Server   products  to  each  of  its  significant  OEM  partners  under  similar
agreements.

The Company  completed  agreements  in the first  quarter of 1996 with Canon and
Digital  Equipment  Corporation,  and in the  second  quarter  of 1996  with IBM
Corporation,  under which these  companies  are  producing  desktop  color laser
printers using the Company's Fiery XJe  Controller.  The Fiery XJe Controller is
an embedded controller which, when combined with a specified color laser engine,
results in a desktop color laser printer with superior speed and output quality.

                                       7.


International  revenue  continued to grow in the third quarter of 1996,  and was
affected by sales mix and certain OEM product  requirements.  Direct  sales into
Japan accounted for approximately 23% and 13% of revenue in the third quarter of
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This increase is partly due to a greater level of
purchases  by the  Company's  OEM  partners of Fiery XJ  products  and is also a
result of sales of Fiery XJe  product  to Canon in Japan.  Sales into Japan were
23% and 15% of revenue for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Sales into  Europe  accounted  for  approximately  28% and 29% of
revenue in the third quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively,  and 24% and 29% of
revenue for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
Further, shipments to some of the Company's OEM partners are made to centralized
purchasing  and  manufacturing  locations  which in turn sell through to foreign
locations.  As a result of these factors, the Company believes that sales of its
products into Europe and Japan may actually be higher,  though  accurate data is
difficult  to obtain.  The  Company  expects  that  international  revenue  will
continue to represent a significant portion of its total revenue.

Cost of Revenue

The  substantial  majority  of the  Company's  cost of  revenue to date has been
attributable  to the sale of Fiery  and Fiery XJ Color  Servers.  Fiery XJ Color
Servers are manufactured by third-party  manufacturers  who purchase most of the
necessary  components.  The Company sources directly  proprietary memory and CPU
subsystems,  and software  licensed from various sources,  including  PostScript
interpreter  software,  which the Company licenses from Adobe Systems,  Inc. The
Company's  gross margin was 51.5% in the third quarter of 1996, up from 50.0% in
the corresponding  quarter of 1995. Overall gross margin in the third quarter of
1996 continued to be supported by low market prices for DRAM  components used in
the Company's products.  Further, gross margin was favorably impacted by the mix
of products sold. The Company's gross margin was 49.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, unchanged from the corresponding period of 1995.

The  Company's  gross  margin  depends in part on prices it is able to attain on
Fiery XJ Color Servers,  Fiery XJe  Controllers and future  products.  The lower
manufacturing  costs of the Fiery XJ Color Server  models have given the Company
flexibility to offer products with a broad range of prices. In addition,  as the
Company  continues to introduce new Fiery XJ products,  it may continue to lower
prices on existing  products.  The Fiery XJe  Controller  will  continue to have
lower  margins than the  Company's  other  products,  reflecting  the  different
distribution and marketing  practices employed for desktop color laser printers.
Accordingly,  if the Fiery XJe Controller  increases as a percentage of revenue,
the  Company's  overall  gross  margin is expected to decline,  all other things
being equal. In general,  gross margin will continue to be impacted by a variety
of  factors  including,  among  others,  the  availability  and  pricing  of key
components  (including  DRAMs and  PostScript  interpreter  software),  product,
channel and geographic mix, the success of the Company's product transitions and
new products, competition, and general economic conditions.

                                       8.


Operating Expenses

Research  and  Development.   Expenses  for  research  and  development  consist
primarily of personnel  expenses and, to a lesser extent,  consulting  services,
costs of prototype  materials and  technology,  and  depreciation.  Research and
development  expenses  were $5.8 million or 7.7% of revenue in the third quarter
of 1996,  compared  to $3.2  million  or 6.7% of  revenue  in the  corresponding
quarter of 1995,  and $15.1 million or 7.2% for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996, compared to $9.0 million or 6.7% in the corresponding  period of 1995.
Research  and  development  expenses  increased  primarily  due to  purchases of
certain  technology  rights  and  incremental  costs  related  to the  number of
engineers  employed.  The Company  believes that the development of new products
and enhancement of existing products is essential to its continued success,  and
management intends to continue to devote  substantial  resources to research and
new product development.  Accordingly, the Company expects that its research and
development  expenses  may increase in absolute  dollars and possibly  also as a
percentage of revenue.

Sales and Marketing.  Such expenses include personnel  expenses,  tradeshows and
other promotional expenses,  sales commissions,  travel,  public relations,  and
depreciation  and facility  costs  associated  with sales  offices in the United
States,  Europe and Japan.  Sales and  marketing  expenses  were $7.7 million or
10.2% of revenue in the third quarter of 1996, compared to $5.4 million or 11.2%
of revenue in the  corresponding  quarter of 1995, and $20.5 million or 9.9% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996,  compared to $16.9 million or 12.7% in
the corresponding  period of 1995. While sales and marketing  expenses decreased
as a percentage  of total  revenue,  such  expenses  have  increased in absolute
dollars due primarily to increases in employee  headcount and costs required for
the promotion and support of the Company's  products.  The decrease in sales and
marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue is due to the Company's  increased
sales to its OEM partners,  certain cost reductions resulting from the Company's
December  1995  agreement  with Canon,  and  continuing  cost control  measures,
including the  consolidation of certain  duplicative  European sales facilities.
The  Company  expects  that its sales and  marketing  expenses  may  increase in
absolute dollars and possibly also as a percentage of revenue as it continues to
actively  promote its products,  launch new Fiery XJ models and other  products,
and continue to build its worldwide sales and marketing organization.

General  and  Administrative.  Such  expenses  consist  primarily  of  personnel
expenses and, to a lesser  extent,  professional  fees,  expenses  required of a
public company,  and depreciation and facility costs. General and administrative
expenses  were $2.6  million or 3.5% of  revenue  in the third  quarter of 1996,
compared  to $1.8  million or 3.8% of revenue  in the  corresponding  quarter of
1995,  and $7.4  million or 3.6% for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996,
compared to $5.2 million or 3.9% in the  corresponding  period of 1995.  General
and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the addition of personnel
to support the Company's  operations and certain nonrecurring costs. The Company
expects  that its general and  administrative  expenses may increase in absolute
dollars and  possibly  also as a  percentage  of revenue in order to support any
growth in operations.

Income Taxes

The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  Accounting  for Income  Taxes,  for all periods
presented.  The Company's  effective tax rate was 36.0% for the third quarter of
1996 and 1995. In each period the Company  benefited from  increased  tax-exempt
interest  income,  increases  in  foreign  sales  and  to a  lesser  extent  the
utilization  of research and  development  credits in  achieving a  consolidated
effective  tax  rate  lower  than  that  prescribed  by  the  respective  taxing
authorities. The Company anticipates that these benefits will continue to have a
favorable impact on the Company's consolidated effective tax rate.

                                       9.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to $180.8 million as
of September 30, 1996, up from $144.0  million as of December 31, 1995.  Working
capital  increased to $198.8  million as of September  30, 1996,  up from $157.1
million as of December 31, 1995.  Net cash provided by operating  activities was
$39.8 million and $18.5 million for the nine-month  periods ended  September 30,
1996 and 1995,  respectively,  primarily as a result of profitable operations in
both  periods.  The  Company  purchased  approximately  $7.5  million of capital
equipment and furniture  during the nine month period ended  September 30, 1996,
compared to purchases of $3.0 million in the corresponding period of 1995.

The Company  believes  that its existing  capital  resources  together with cash
generated from  continuing  operations will be sufficient to fund its operations
and meet capital requirements through at least 1997.

Factors That Could Adversely Affect Performance

The following may impact the Company's future performance and financial results:

Product Transitions.  Delays in the launch or availability of new product models
could  have an  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  financial  results.  Product
transitions  also carry the risk that  customers will delay or cancel orders for
existing models pending  shipments of new models.  If the Company is not able to
successfully   manage  future  product   transitions  or  cannot  guarantee  the
availability of products, its results of operations could be adversely affected.

New Product  Introductions.  The Company  continues to look at  opportunities to
develop product lines distinct from the Fiery XJ Color Server. Such new products
may require the investment of capital for the  development  of new  distribution
and  marketing  channels,  at an unknown  cost to the  Company.  There can be no
guarantee that the Company would be successful the  development of such channels
or that any new products will gain market acceptance.  Further, new products may
directly impact the sales of the Company's Fiery XJ products.  If the Company is
not able to successfully manage the introduction of new products, its results of
operations could be adversely affected.

Competition.  The Company has seen  competition in the market from companies and
products that provide similar  functionality  and believes that such competition
will continue and may intensify. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to continue to  successfully  compete against other  companies'  product
offerings.

Fiery XJe. The Company is currently  selling the Fiery XJe  Controller to Canon,
IBM and Digital under OEM agreements. No assurance can be given that the Company
will  continue  to  recognize  significant  revenue  from such sales or that the
Company  will be  successful  in  further  marketing  this  product to other OEM
partners or other parties.

Reliance  on OEM  Partners.  No  assurance  can be given that the  Company  will
continue to supply  products to each of its current OEM  partners.  In the event
that an OEM partner  discontinues  or reduces its level of purchases of Fiery XJ
Color Servers, the Company would experience a significant negative impact on its
consolidated financial position and results of operations.

                                      10.


Fluctuations  in  Operating  Results.  Operating  results may  fluctuate  due to
factors  such as demand for the  Company's  products,  success and timing of the
introduction  of  new  products,   price  reductions  by  the  Company  and  its
competitors, delay, cancellation or rescheduling of orders, product performance,
seasonal  purchasing  patterns of its OEM partners,  performance  of third-party
manufacturers,  product inventory levels, availability of key components for the
Company's  products,  the  status of the  Company's  relationships  with its OEM
partners and Adobe,  among others,  the Company's  ability to develop and market
new products, the timing and amount of sales and marketing expenditures, and the
general demand for color copiers and color laser printers.

Limited Backlog. The Company typically does not obtain long-term volume purchase
contracts from its customers, and a substantial portion of the Company's backlog
is scheduled  for delivery  within 90 days or less.  Customers may cancel orders
and change volume levels or delivery times without penalty.  Quarterly sales and
operating  results  therefore  depend on the volume and timing of the backlog as
well as bookings  received  during the  quarter.  A  significant  portion of the
Company's  operating  expenses  are fixed,  and planned  expenditures  are based
primarily on sales forecasts and product development  programs.  If sales do not
meet the  Company's  expectations  in any given  period,  the adverse  impact on
operating  results  may  be  magnified  by the  Company's  inability  to  adjust
operating  expenses  sufficiently  or quickly  enough to  compensate  for such a
shortfall.

Volatility of Stock Price. Due to various factors,  including those noted above,
the  Company's  future  earnings  and stock price may be subject to  significant
volatility,  particularly  on a quarterly  basis.  Any  shortfall  in revenue or
earnings from levels expected by securities analysts could have an immediate and
significant adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock in
any given period. The Company  participates in a highly dynamic industry,  which
often results in significant volatility for the Company's common stock price.
