Stock Options
- - -------------

At July 1, 1994, options for 567,715 shares of common stock were outstanding.
Stock options for an additional 150,705 shares may be awarded under the
Company's 1987 Stock Option Plan and stock options for an additional 224,000
shares may be awarded under the Company's 1993 Stock Incentive Plan.

Restructuring and Other Unusual Charges
- - ---------------------------------------

In the first quarter, the Company recorded a $5.7 million pretax charge
relating to the Company's early retirement program, of which $2.6 million was
included in continuing operations.  In addition, as discussed below, the
Company has sold its thin-film disk, oxide disk and head disk assembly
operations in the second quarter of 1994.   Based on the progress-to-date, the
Company continues to expect to realize savings in personnel, facilities and
other costs (exclusive of the oxide, diskette and thin-film manufacturing
businesses) from its restructuring actions at an annualized rate of
approximately $8.0 million pretax by the end of 1994.

Segments
- - --------

As part of the Company's restructuring actions in the first quarter, the Office
Supplies and Coated Products segments were combined into a new segment, the
Commercial Products Group.  These two segments were combined as they share
similar customers, technologies and industry risks.  The remaining operation
from the Computer Products Group, Precision Technologies, will be reported
separately.

Discontinued Operations
- - -----------------------

During the second quarter of 1994, the Company disposed of its Computer
Products businesses in two separate transactions for amounts not materially
different from estimates included in the restructuring charge recorded as of
the fourth quarter of 1993.  As a result, the Company has classified these
businesses as discontinuing operations.  On May 19, 1994, the Company sold
certain assets and liabilities of its thin-film disk operation.  The Company
received net cash proceeds of $10.0 million and a $4.9 million subordinated
three-year note.  In addition, the Company may receive additional cash proceeds
of up to $5.0 million contingent on future operating results of the thin-film
disk operation.  On May 13, 1994, the Company sold certain assets of its oxide
disk and head disk assembly operation.  The purchase price included $1.1
million of cash, plus future royalty payments based on sales.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
July 1, 1994, the results of operations for the three-month and six-month
periods ended July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993, and cash flows for the six-month
periods ended July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993.


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

Net sales for the second quarter of 1994 were $122.7 million, a 2 percent
increase over the second quarter last year, as increased sales in the
Commercial Products Group were partially offset by lower sales in the
Photofinishing and Precision Technologies Groups.  Net income from continuing
operations for the quarter was $2.9 million versus $2.5 million in the prior
year due to improvements in the Commercial Products and Photofinishing Groups
partially offset by lower volume in Precision Technologies.  Net sales for the
first six months were essentially flat at $235.5 million verses $236.5 million
last year.  Increases in Commercial Products were more than offset by decreases
in the other two groups.  Income from continuing operations for the first six
months decreased to $1.8 million from $3.6 million for the same period last
year.  The decrease was principally the result of a $2.6 million pretax charge
relating to the Company's early retirement program and a $.9 million pretax
charge relating to costs incurred in the first quarter related to a potential
acquisition of a non-U.S. Photofinishing business.

In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded restructuring and other
unusual charges of $48.5 million largely as a result of the Company's decision
to dispose of its Computer Products businesses.  In the second quarter of 1994,
the Company disposed of these businesses for amounts not materially different
from estimates included in the restructuring charge recorded in 1993.  At the
end of the second quarter of 1994, the Company has substantially completed its
restructuring activities except for the consolidation of certain facilities.
Management is currently reviewing several options and anticipates completing

these actions by year end.  The Company expects to realize savings in
personnel, facilities and other costs (exclusive of the oxide, diskette and
thin-film manufacturing businesses) from its restructuring actions at an
annualized rate of approximately $8.0 million pretax by the end of 1994.

The Commercial Products Group's second quarter sales increased 6 percent to
$82.1 million, due to significantly higher duct tape, label and copier toner
volumes and the inclusion of sales from the office supplies catalog (Nashua
Express), which was acquired in July 1993.  The increases were partially offset
by lower  carbonless paper and diskette sales.  For the first six months of
1994, sales increased 2 percent to $160.3 million, primarily attributable to
higher duct tape sales volumes and the inclusion of Nashua Express, offset by
significantly lower diskette and copier paper volumes.  The Group had operating
income of $2.6 million for the second quarter, an increase of 47 percent from
the second quarter last year, primarily as a result of higher tape and label
volumes, offset by weak Nashua Express sales volume, higher development costs
associated with the remanufactured cartridges business and increased selling
expenses.  For the six months, operating income declined to $.2 million from
$2.6 million for the same period a year ago, as the impact of improved sales
volumes was more than offset by the aforementioned $2.6 million charge relating
to early retirements, weak Nashua Express sales and significantly higher
product development costs for the remanufactured laser cartridge business.

Sales for the Photofinishing Group for the second quarter and first six months
of 1994 declined approximately 4 percent.  Lower U.S.  and Canadian order
volumes and the unfavorable effect of a weaker British pound than in the year
ago period offset generally favorable pricing in the U.S. and U.K.  Operating
income increased by 6.4 percent and 3.4 percent for second quarter and first
six months of 1994, respectively, primarily due to improved manufacturing
productivity in the U.K., favorable promotional pricing and reduced marketing
expenses.

Lower sales to its principal customer accounted for Precision Technologies'
sales decline of 21 percent and 13 percent, respectively, for the second
quarter and first six months of 1994.  The Group recorded small operating
losses in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 1994, versus operating
profits last year, due to reduced sales volume and a sales mix of lower margin
products.

Administrative expense for the second quarter and for the first six months was
substantially the same as the comparable periods last year as cost savings
related to the restructuring were offset by the inclusion of Nashua Express
acquired in the third quarter of 1993.  Selling and distribution expense as a
percentage of sales was relatively constant for the second quarter and the
first six months compared to the same period one year ago.  Research and
development expense increased 36% in the second quarter from the second quarter
in 1993 and 37% for the first six months as compared to the first six months in
1993, primarily due to increased spending on new product development.

The effective income tax rate of 38 percent for the first six months of 1994 is
higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent, primarily due to the
unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization and state income
taxes.

Working capital increased by $7.3 million to $31.0 million from December 31,
1993.  The Company received proceeds of $11.1 million in the second quarter
from the sale of the discontinued Computer Products Group which was used to
fund operations and restructuring actions, primarily severance payments related
to the Company's early retirement program.  In July, 1994, the Company replaced
its revolving credit facility with a new facility increasing the credit
available to the Company under commitment to $40 million.  The terms of the
facility are substantially similar to those in the Company's previous facility.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- - --------------------------

In April 1994, Ricoh Company, Ltd. and Ricoh Corporation ("Ricoh") filed a
Complaint with the United States District Court, District of New Hampshire,
alleging Nashua's infringement of U.S. patents 4,611,730 and 4,878,603 relating
to certain toner cartridges for Ricoh copiers.  The Complaint seeks damages and
injunctive relief.  The products involved constitute an insignificant amount of
Nashua's sales.  The Company believes it has substantial defenses and intends
to defend the action vigorously.
