               LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited;  however, in
       the opinion of the Company's management,  all adjustments (which comprise
       only normal and recurring  accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
       the interim  financial  results have been  included.  The results for the
       interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of results to be expected
       for the entire year. These financial  statements and notes should be read
       in conjunction with the Company's audited annual  consolidated  financial
       statements for the year ended December 31, 1996.

       Net earnings per common and common equivalent share are computed by using
       the weighted-average number of common shares and common equivalent shares
       outstanding  during each period.  Common  equivalent shares include stock
       options, warrants, restricted stock and deferred stock units. Primary and
       fully diluted earnings per share do not differ by a material amount.

2.     INVENTORIES
       (Dollars in millions) 
       Inventories consist of the following:
                                                March 31           December 31
                                                  1997                 1996
                                                --------           -----------
           Work in process                       $140.2               $144.6
           Finished goods                         115.8                126.4
                                                 ------               ------
                                                 $256.0               $271.0
                                                 ======               ======


3.     LONG-TERM DEBT

       In March 1997, the Company  prepaid its $120 million 14.25 percent senior
       subordinated   notes  due  in  2001.  The   prepayment   resulted  in  an
       extraordinary  charge of $22.4 million ($14.0 million net of tax benefit)
       caused by a prepayment premium and other fees.

       In March 1997, the Company  entered into  three-year  interest rate swaps
       with a total  notional  amount of $60  million,  whereby the Company pays
       interest  at a fixed  rate of  approximately  6.5  percent  and  receives
       interest at a floating  rate equal to the  three-month  London  Interbank
       Offered Rate (LIBOR).  The swaps serve as a hedge of financings  based on
       floating interest rates.



                                       5

4.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       In April 1996, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase
       at  management's  discretion  of up to $50  million of its Class A common
       stock  in  the  open  market  or  in  privately  negotiated  transactions
       depending upon market price and other  factors.  During the quarter ended
       March 31, 1997, the Company repurchased 949,414 shares in the open market
       for an aggregate of approximately $22.6 million.


5.     NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

       Effective  January 1, 1997,  the Company  adopted  Statement of Financial
       Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS")  No. 125,  Accounting  for  Transfers  and
       Servicing of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments  of Liabilities.  SFAS
       No. 125  provides  standards  for  distinguishing  transfers of financial
       assets  that are sales from  transfers  that are secured  borrowings  and
       addresses  programs such as the Company's trade  receivables  programs in
       the U.S.  and  Germany.  With the  adoption of SFAS No. 125,  the Company
       continues to account for the transfer of receivables  under both programs
       as sale  transactions.  In response  to SFAS No. 125 for  purposes of the
       U.S.  program,  the Company formed and sells its  receivables to a wholly
       owned subsidiary,  Lexmark Receivables  Corporation  ("LRC"),  which then
       sells the  receivables  to an unrelated  third  party.  LRC is a separate
       legal entity with its own separate  creditors  who, in a  liquidation  of
       LRC,  would be entitled to be satisfied  out of LCR's assets prior to any
       value in LRC becoming available for equity claims of an LRC stockholder.

       In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS
       No.  128,  Earnings  per  Share.  This  statement  is  effective  for the
       Company's 1997 annual financial  statements.  This statement replaces the
       presentation of primary  earnings per share ("EPS") and fully diluted EPS
       with a presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS, respectively. Basic EPS
       were $0.23,  $0.42 before  extraordinary  item,  for the first quarter of
       1997,  compared to $0.31 for the first quarter of 1996.  Diluted EPS were
       $0.22, $0.40 before  extraordinary  item, for the quarter ended March 31,
       1997, compared to $0.29 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.


6.     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

       On  May  2,  1997,  the  Company's  board  of  directors  authorized  the
       repurchase at management's  discretion of up to $150 million of its Class
       A common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
       depending upon market price and other factors.  This  authorization is in
       addition to the $50  million  repurchase  authorization  granted in April
       1996 and currently  permitted by the Company's credit  facilities.  As of
       May 9,  1997,  the  Company  has  used  $40.6  million  of  the  original
       authorization to repurchase approximately 1.7 million shares.

Item 2.       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
              and Financial Condition (Unaudited)

               LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Consolidated  revenues  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 were $583
million,  a decrease  of 1 percent  from the same period of 1996.  Printers  and
associated  supplies  revenues  were $456  million,  an  increase  of 9 percent.
Revenues from other office imaging  products were $127 million,  a decrease of 7
percent from 1996. The transition out of the keyboard  business was completed in
March 1996 and, excluding this business,  revenues for the first quarter were up
$28 million or 5 percent from 1996. Total U.S. revenues were down $45 million or
14  percent,  and  international  revenues  were up $41  million or 16  percent.
Excluding the keyboard business, total U.S. revenues were down 4 percent.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were affected by price  reductions
taken  after the first  quarter  of 1996,  the  transition  out of the  keyboard
business and  unfavorable  translation  of foreign  revenues.  Printer  hardware
volumes have shown strong growth versus a year ago and printer supplies revenues
have increased due to the continued  growth of the Company's  installed  printer
base. This growth,  partially  offset by price  reductions on certain  printers,
resulted  in  a  9  percent  increase  in  printer  revenues.  Foreign  currency
translation  effects on revenue  were $20  million  unfavorable  for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Consolidated  gross profit was $200 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997, an increase of 10 percent from the same period of 1996. This was driven by
margin improvements in printers and associated supplies,  which more than offset
the reduced gross margins in other office  imaging  products  resulting from the
previously announced renegotiated IBM supplies distribution agreement which went
into effect after the first  quarter of 1996.  Gross  profit as a percentage  of
revenues for the first  quarter of 1997  increased to 34 percent from 31 percent
in 1996.

Gross  profit  attributable  to printers and  associated  supplies for the first
quarter 1997 was $155 million,  an increase of 20 percent over the first quarter
of 1996, principally due to reductions in product costs, growth in higher margin
associated  consumable  supplies and more  favorable  product  sales mix.  Gross
profit  margin  was 34  percent,  up from  31  percent  in the  prior  year,  as
competitive price pressures on printers were more than offset by lower costs and
higher sales of associated consumable supplies.

Total  operating  expenses  increased  4 percent  in the first  quarter  of 1997
compared to the same period of 1996.  Expenses as a percentage  of revenues were
25  percent  in the  first  quarter  of  1997  compared  to 24  percent  for the
corresponding period of 1996, principally reflecting in 1997 increased marketing
and sales efforts.  Looking forward,  the Company expects a significant increase
in second  quarter  operating  expenses  versus  1996 as a result  of  increased
investment in marketing and sales to drive growth.

Consolidated  operating income was $56 million for the first quarter of 1997, an
increase of 26 percent over the corresponding  period of 1996. This increase was
due principally to product cost reductions, more favorable product sales mix and
the absence of amortization  of  intangibles,  which were fully amortized by the
end of the first quarter of 1996.



                                       7
<PAGE>


Earnings  before  extraordinary  item were $31 million for the first  quarter of
1997, up 42 percent over the  corresponding  period of 1996,  principally due to
the operating  performance and lower interest  expense as a result of lower debt
levels and lower interest rates.  The income tax provision was  approximately 37
percent of earnings  before tax for the first  quarter of 1997 as compared to 40
percent in the same period of 1996. Earnings per share before extraordinary item
were $0.40 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,  compared to $0.29 for the
same period of 1996, an increase of 39 percent.

Net  earnings for the first  quarter of 1997 were $17 million,  a decrease of 23
percent compared to the same period of 1996, due to an  extraordinary  charge of
$22 million  ($14 million net of tax benefit)  caused by the  prepayment  of the
Company's senior  subordinated  notes. This charge is the result of a prepayment
premium and other fees.  Net  earnings per share were $0.22 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997,  compared to $0.29 for the same period of 1996, a decrease
of 24 percent.


Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Company's  financial position remains strong, with lower debt levels than at
December 31, 1996.  Senior  subordinated  notes in the principal  amount of $120
million  were  prepaid in March 1997.  The Company  utilized  cash  generated by
operations,  its revolving  credit  facility and funds available under its trade
receivables  programs  to prepay the debt.  At March 31,  1997,  the Company had
outstanding  $63 million of short-term  debt and $43 million of long-term  debt.
The debt to total  capital  ratio was 17 percent at the end of the first quarter
of 1997 compared to 23 percent at December 31, 1996.

In March 1997, the Company  entered into  three-year  interest rate swaps with a
total  notional  amount of $60 million,  whereby the Company pays  interest at a
fixed rate of approximately 6.5 percent and receives interest at a floating rate
equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).  The swaps serve
as a hedge of financings based on floating interest rates.

Cash provided by operating  activities for the three months ended March 31, 1997
was $41 million  compared to $70 million cash used by operating  activities  for
the same period of 1996,  primarily reflecting  inventory  reductions,  stronger
earnings before  extraordinary  loss and the sale of receivables under the trade
accounts receivable programs.

Capital  expenditures  were $12 million in 1997 compared to $35 million in 1996.
Capital  expenditures  in the  first  quarter  of 1996  were  higher  due to the
Company's expansion of its inkjet printer products manufacturing capacity. These
projects were substantially  completed by the end of 1996, and it is anticipated
that  capital  expenditures  for 1997 will be less than $100 million and will be
funded  primarily  through cash from  operations.  In April 1996,  the Company's
board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of its Class A
common  stock.  The  repurchase  authority  allows the  Company at  management's
discretion  to  selectively  repurchase  its stock from time to time in the open
market or in privately negotiated  transactions  depending upon market price and
other factors.  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had repurchased 949,414 shares
in the open market at prices ranging from $22.25 to $27.50 for an aggregate cost
of approximately $23 million. On May 2, 1997, the board of directors  authorized
the repurchase at management's discretion of up to $150 million of the Company's
Class A common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated  transactions
depending upon market price and other factors. This authorization is in addition
to the $50 million repurchase  authorization granted in April 1996 and currently
permitted by the Company's credit facilities. As of May 9, 1997, the Company has
used $41 million of the original  authorization to repurchase  approximately 1.7
million shares.

New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard  ("SFAS")  No. 125,  Accounting  for the  Transfers  and  Servicing  of
Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities.  The  adoption  of this
accounting  standard did not have a material  impact on the Company's  financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
Earnings per Share.  This  statement  establishes  standards  for  computing and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and generally applies to all publicly held
companies.  This statement  replaces the  presentation  of primary EPS and fully
diluted  EPS with a  presentation  of basic EPS and diluted  EPS,  respectively.
Basic EPS excludes  dilution and is computed by dividing  earnings  available to
common  stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Similar to fully diluted EPS, diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution of  securities  that could share in the  earnings.  This  statement  is
effective for the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1997.  EPS  calculated  under SFAS No.  128 are not  expected  to be  materially
different from EPS calculated under the current method.


Factors That May Affect Future Results and Information Concerning Forward - 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Looking Statements
- ------------------
Certain  of  the   statements   contained  in  this  Report  may  be  considered
forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and  Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  and the
Company's  future  operating  results may be  adversely  affected by a number of
factors, including, without limitation, the factors set forth below:

The Company's future operating results may be adversely affected if it is unable
to continue to develop,  manufacture  and market  products that meet  customers'
needs. The markets for printers and associated  supplies are highly competitive,
especially  with  respect to pricing and the  introduction  of new  products and
features. The Company and its major competitors, all of which have significantly
greater financial,  marketing and technological resources than the Company, have
regularly lowered prices on laser and inkjet printers and may continue to do so.
The Company intends to formally  announce on May 19, 1997 the  introduction of a
new,  competitively priced line of laser printer products.  The Company believes
that,  in  response  to  this  upcoming  announcement,  Hewlett-Packard  Company
announced price reductions on its line of monochrome network laser printers. The
factors set forth herein could result in lower profitability for the Company and
jeopardize the Company's ability to grow or maintain its market share.

Also,  the life cycles of the Company's  products,  as well as delays in product
development  and  manufacturing,  variations in the cost of component  parts and
delays in customer purchases of existing products in anticipation of new product
introductions  by the  Company or its  competitors,  may cause a build up in the
Company's inventories, make the transition from current products to new products
difficult and could adversely  affect the Company's  future  operating  results.
Further,  some of the Company's newly developed products replace or compete with
some of the Company's existing products.

In addition,  revenues derived from international sales,  including exports from
the United States,  make up about half of the Company's  revenues.  Accordingly,
the  Company's  future  results  could be  adversely  affected  by a variety  of
factors, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, trade protection
measures,  changes in a specific  country's  or region's  political  or economic
conditions and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements.  Moreover, margins
on international sales tend to be lower than those on domestic sales.



                                       9

Factors unrelated to the Company's operating performance, including economic and
business  conditions,  both national and international;  the loss of significant
customers  or  suppliers;  changes in and  execution of the  Company's  business
strategy,  including the expansion of its business  through the  acquisition  of
related  businesses;  the Company's  ability to obtain  patents,  copyrights and
trademarks,  maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the
proprietary  rights of others;  and  trading  activity in the  Company's  common
stock,  particularly in light of the  substantial  number of shares owned by the
original  investor  group that are  available  for  resale,  also may affect the
Company's results as well as its common stock price.
