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

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       Effective  July 1, 2000,  Lexmark  International  Group,  Inc.  ("Group")
       merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Lexmark International,
       Inc.  ("International"),   whereby  International  became  the  surviving
       corporation ("the company"). The financial statements presented are those
       of Group  prior to the  merger,  which  are  substantially  identical  to
       International's financial statements prior to the merger. Pursuant to the
       merger,  Group's  stockholders  automatically  received  one share of the
       company's  Class A Common  Stock for each  share of Group  Class A Common
       Stock,  along  with  the  associated  rights  attaching  pursuant  to the
       Stockholder  Rights  Plan,  to which  the  company  is a  successor.  The
       company's Class A Common Stock and associated rights have the same rights
       and privileges as Group's Class A Common Stock and associated rights. The
       company also assumed all of Group's benefit plans for employees, retirees
       and directors and each outstanding  Group stock based award was converted
       into an identical stock based award in the company.

       The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited;  however, in
       the opinion of the company  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  Group's  audited  annual  consolidated   financial
       statements for the year ended December 31, 1999.

2.     INVENTORIES
          (Dollars in millions)

3.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       At  Group's  Annual  Meeting  of  Stockholders  on April  27,  2000,  the
       stockholders  approved an increase in the number of authorized  shares of
       Group's Class A common stock from 450 million to 900 million  shares.  As
       of June 30, 2000 Group's board of directors had authorized the repurchase
       of up to  $1.0  billion  of its  Class A  common  stock.  The  repurchase
       authorization  with respect to Group's  Class A common  stock  remains in
       effect  with  respect to the Class A common  stock of the  company.  This
       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 June 30, 2000,  Group had  repurchased  27,786,928
       shares at prices  ranging from $10.63 to $105.38 for an aggregate cost of
       approximately $847 million.

7.     NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

       In December 1999, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
       Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
       Statements.  SAB 101  provides  guidance on applying  generally  accepted
       accounting   principles  to  revenue   recognition  issues  in  financial
       statements.  Lexmark  will adopt SAB 101 as required by December 31, 2000
       and  is  evaluating  the  effect  that  such  adoption  may  have  on its
       consolidated results of operations and financial position.

       In June 2000, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB") issued
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 138, which amends
       the  previously   released  SFAS  No.  133,   Accounting  for  Derivative
       Instruments and Hedging  Activities.  This statement amends the treatment
       of certain  transactions  discussed  in SFAS No.  133,  which the company
       implemented  January 1, 1999.  The new  amendment did not have a material
       impact  on  Group's  financial  position,   results  of  operations,   or
       liquidity.

       In July 2000, the FASB's  Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF
       00-15,  Classification  in the  Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax
       Benefit  Realized by a Company upon Employee  Exercise of a  Nonqualified
       Stock Option.  This  statement  requires that cash flows realized from an
       income tax  benefit as a result of employee  stock  option  exercises  be
       recorded in cash flows from operating activities in the Statement of Cash
       Flows.  Currently  the  company  records  such  items in cash  flows from
       financing  activities.  This  statement is effective for quarters  ending
       after July 20, 2000 with  restatement  required for comparative cash flow
       statements.  The company plans to adopt this  statement  effective in the
       third  quarter of 2000.  Although it is  difficult to estimate the future
       impact of EITF 00-15, if it had been effective as of June 30, 2000, $47.5
       million and $17.5 million of cash flows provided by financing  would have
       been considered  cash flows provided by operating  activities for the six
       month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

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

                  LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Results of Operations
---------------------

Consolidated  revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $893 million,
an increase of 9% over the same period of 1999.  Revenue was adversely  affected
by foreign  currency  exchange  rates due to  weakening  of European  currencies
against the U.S.  dollar.  Revenue  growth was 13% for the quarter on a constant
currency  basis.  Total  U.S.  revenue  was down $2 million or less than 1%, and
international  revenue,  including  exports from the U.S., was up $77 million or
18%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, consolidated revenue was $1,785 million,
an increase of 11% over the same period of 1999.  Revenue growth was 15% for the
period on a constant  currency basis.  Total U.S.  revenue was up $48 million or
7%, and  international  revenue,  including  exports from the U.S.,  was up $132
million or 15%.

The  revenue  growth for the three and six months  ended June 30,  2000 over the
same  periods  in 1999 was  driven by unit  volume  increases  in  printers  and
associated consumable supplies whose revenue increased 14% and 16% for the three
and six month periods,  respectively.  Revenue from sales to original  equipment
manufacturers ("OEM") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 accounted
for less than 15% of total  revenue with no single OEM customer  accounting  for
more than 10% of total revenue.

Consolidated  gross  profit was $308 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000,  an increase of 4% from the same period of 1999.  For the six months ended
June 30, 2000,  consolidated  gross profit was $623  million,  an increase of 7%
over the  corresponding  period of 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue
for the three and six months  ended June 30, 2000  decreased to 35% from 36% for
the same period in 1999, principally due to a mix shift among products and lower
printer prices.

Total  operating  expense  increased 6% for the quarter  ended June 30, 2000 and
increased  7% for the first six months of 2000,  compared to the same periods of
1999.  Operating  expense as a  percentage  of revenue for the quarter was 21.8%
compared to 22.5% for the corresponding  period of 1999.  Operating expense as a
percentage  of revenue  for the first half of 2000 was also  21.8%  compared  to
22.8% for the same period of 1999. These decreases were principally due to lower
selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue.

Consolidated  operating  income was $114 million for the second  quarter of 2000
and $234 million for the six months  ended June 30, 2000,  an increase of 2% and
9%,  respectively,  over the  corresponding  periods of 1999  reflecting  higher
printer and associated  supplies unit sales volumes and lower selling,  general,
and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2000 were $84 million, up 13% compared to
the second quarter of 1999. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in the
effective income tax rate, the decrease in non-operating  expense resulting from
the  sale of an  investment  and  improved  operating  income.  The  income  tax
provision  was 25.4% of  earnings  before tax for the second  quarter of 2000 as
compared to  approximately  30.6% in the same period of 1999.  During the second
quarter of 2000 the annual effective tax rate was reduced by 2.5% as a result of
continuing increases in manufacturing activities in certain countries.

Basic net earnings per share were $0.65 for the second  quarter of 2000 compared
to $0.58 in the  corresponding  period of 1999, an increase of 13%.  Diluted net
earnings per share were $0.62 for the second  quarter of 2000  compared to $0.55
in the comparable  period of 1999, an increase of 14%. The increase in basic and
diluted net
                                       9

<PAGE>

earnings per share  resulted from  increased  income before tax and lower income
tax rates.

Net  earnings for the first half of 2000 were $164  million,  an increase of 15%
compared to the same period of 1999.  The increase was  primarily  due to the 9%
increase in operating  income and the reduction in the tax provision  from 31.5%
of earnings before tax in 1999 to 28.0% in 2000.

Basic net  earnings  per  share  were  $1.27  for the  first six  months of 2000
compared  to $1.10 in the  corresponding  period of 1999,  an  increase  of 16%.
Diluted  net  earnings  per share  were  $1.21 for the first six  months of 2000
compared to $1.03 in the  comparable  period of 1999, an increase of 18%.  These
increases in basic and diluted net earnings per share  resulted  from  increased
operating income, lower income tax rates and reduced shares outstanding.


Financial Condition
-------------------

The company's  financial  position remains strong at June 30, 2000, with working
capital of $300 million  compared to $353 million at December 31, 1999.  At June
30, 2000, the company had  outstanding  $52 million of short-term  debt and $149
million of long-term  debt.  The debt to total capital ratio was 22% at June 30,
2000 compared to 20% at December 31, 1999.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$163 million compared to $150 million for the same period of 1999. This increase
was primarily due to the increased net earnings.

Capital  expenditures  for the first half of 2000 were $128 million  compared to
$79 million for the same period of 1999. This increase is primarily attributable
to the support of new products and capacity  expansion.  It is anticipated  that
capital  expenditures  for 2000 will be  approximately  $300  million.  The 2000
capital  expenditures  are  expected to be funded  primarily  through  cash from
operations.

At Group's Annual Meeting of  Stockholders  on April 27, 2000, the  stockholders
approved  an  increase  in the number of  authorized  shares of Group's  Class A
common  stock  from 450  million to 900  million  shares.  As of June 30,  2000,
Group's board of directors had  authorized  the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion
of its Class A common  stock.  The  repurchase  authorization  with  respect  to
Group's  Class A common  stock  remains  in effect  with  respect to the Class A
common stock of the company.  This  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 June 30, 2000, Group had repurchased  27,786,928
shares  at prices  ranging  from  $10.63 to  $105.38  for an  aggregate  cost of
approximately $847 million.

New Accounting Standards
------------------------

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial  Statements.  SAB
101 provides guidance on applying  generally accepted  accounting  principles to
revenue recognition issues in financial  statements.  Lexmark will adopt SAB 101
as required by December 31, 2000 and is evaluating the effect that such adoption
may have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In June 2000,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS") No. 138,  which amends the  previously
released  SFAS No.  133,  Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities.   This  statement  amends  the  treatment  of  certain  transactions
discussed in SFAS No. 133,  which the company  implemented  January 1, 1999. The
new  amendment  did not have a material  impact on Group's  financial  position,
results of operations, or liquidity.

                                       10

In July 2000, the FASB's  Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 00-15,
Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Realized
by a Company  upon  Employee  Exercise  of a  Nonqualified  Stock  Option.  This
statement  requires  that cash flows  realized  from an income tax  benefit as a
result of  employee  stock  option  exercises  be  recorded  in cash  flows from
operating  activities  in the  Statement  of Cash Flows.  Currently  the company
records such items in cash flows from  financing  activities.  This statement is
effective for quarters ending after July 20, 2000 with restatement  required for
comparative  cash flow  statements.  The company  plans to adopt this  statement
effective in the third quarter of 2000. Although it is difficult to estimate the
future impact of EITF 00-15,  if it had been  effective as of June 30, 2000, $47
million and $17  million of cash flows  provided  by  financing  would have been
considered cash flows provided by operating activities for the six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Factors That May Affect Future Results  and  Information  Concerning  Forward  -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking Statements
------------------

Statements  contained in this report which are not statements of historical fact
are  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.
Forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations
and beliefs concerning future  developments and their potential effects upon the
company.  There can be no  assurance  that  future  developments  affecting  the
company  will be those  anticipated  by  management,  and  there are a number of
factors that could adversely affect the company's  future  operating  results or
cause the company's  actual results to differ  materially  from the estimates or
expectations  reflected in such  forward-looking  statements,  including without
limitation, the factors set forth below:

o 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 laser and inkjet  printers  and  associated
supplies are  increasingly  competitive,  especially with respect to pricing and
the introduction of new technologies and products offering improved features and
functionality.  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 their printers and are expected to
continue to do so. In particular,  the inkjet printer market has experienced and
is expected to continue to experience  significant  printer price  pressure from
the company's  major  competitors.  Price  reductions on inkjet or laser printer
products or the inability to reduce costs, contain expenses or increase sales as
currently expected, as well as price protection measures,  could result in lower
profitability  and  jeopardize  the  company's  ability to grow or maintain  its
market  share,  particularly  at a time  when  the  company  is  increasing  its
investment  to support  product  introductions,  expand  capacity  and enter new
geographies.

o The company is relying more heavily on foreign manufacturing  partners for its
products,  and future  operating  results may be  adversely  affected by several
factors, including,  without limitation, if such partners are unable to reliably
supply products or if there are difficulties in transitioning such manufacturing
activities from the company to such partners.

o Delays in customer  purchases  of existing  products  in  anticipation  of new
product introductions by the company or its competitors and market acceptance of
new products and pricing  programs,  the reaction of competitors to any such new
products or  programs,  the life cycles of the  company's  products,  as well as
delays in  product  development  and  manufacturing,  variations  in the cost of
component  parts,  may cause a buildup 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.  The  competitive  pressure to
develop  technology  and products  also could cause  significant  changes in the
level of the company's operating expenses.

o Revenue derived from  international  sales,  including exports from the United
States, make up over half of the company's revenue.  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

                                       11
<PAGE>



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, and the company believes that international  operations
in new geographic  markets will be less  profitable  than operations in the U.S.
and  European  markets,  in part,  because of the higher  investment  levels for
marketing, selling and distribution required to enter these markets.

o The company's performance depends in part upon its ability to increase printer
and  associated  supplies  manufacturing  capacity in line with  growing  market
demands,  to manage  inventory levels to support the demands of new customers as
well as its  established  customer  base and to  address  production  and supply
difficulties.  The  company's  future  operating  results  and  its  ability  to
effectively grow or maintain its market share may be adversely affected if it is
unable to address these issues on a timely basis.

o The company markets and sells its products through several sales channels. The
company's  future results may be adversely  affected by any conflicts that might
arise between its various sales channels.

o The  company's  success  depends  in part on its  ability  to obtain  patents,
copyrights and trademarks,  maintain trade secret protection and operate without
infringing  the  proprietary  rights of  others.  Current  or  future  claims of
intellectual  property  infringement  could  prevent the company from  obtaining
technology of others and could otherwise adversely affect its operating results,
cash flows,  financial  position or business,  as could expenses incurred by the
company  in  enforcing  its  intellectual  property  rights  against  others  or
defending  against claims that the company's  products infringe the intellectual
property rights of others.

o Factors unrelated to the company's operating  performance,  including economic
and  business  conditions,   both  national  and  international;   the  loss  of
significant customers or suppliers; the outcome of pending and future litigation
or  governmental  proceedings;  and  the  ability  to  retain  and  attract  key
personnel,  could also  adversely  affect the company's  operating  results.  In
addition,  the company's stock price,  like that of other technology  companies,
can be volatile.  Trading activity in the company's  common stock,  particularly
the trading of large blocks and interday  trading in the company's common stock,
may affect the company's common stock price.

While the company  reassesses  material trends and  uncertainties  affecting the
company's  financial  condition and results of operations in connection with the
preparation of its quarterly and annual reports,  the company does not intend to
review or revise,  in light of future  events,  any  particular  forward-looking
statement contained in this report.

The  information  referred  to above  should be  considered  by  investors  when
reviewing any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in any of the
company's public filings or press releases or in any oral statements made by the
company  or any of its  officers  or other  persons  acting on its  behalf.  The
important  factors that could affect  forward-looking  statements are subject to
change,  and the company does not intend to update the foregoing list of certain
important  factors.  By means of this  cautionary  note, the company  intends to
avail itself of the safe harbor from liability  with respect to  forward-looking
statements that is provided by Section 27A and Section 21E referred to above.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The market risk inherent in the company's  financial  instruments  and positions
represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rates
--------------

At June 30,  2000,  the fair value of Group's  senior notes is estimated at $137
million  using quoted  market  prices and yields  obtained  through  independent
pricing sources for the same or similar types of borrowing arrangements,  taking
into  consideration  the underlying terms of the debt. The carrying value of the
senior notes as recorded in the  statement of  financial  position  exceeded the
fair  value  at June 30,  2000 by  approximately  $12  million.  Market  risk

                                       12

is estimated as the potential change in fair value resulting from a hypothetical
10% adverse change in interest rates and amounts to  approximately $7 million at
June 30, 2000.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
-------------------------------

The company  employs a foreign  currency  hedging  strategy  to limit  potential
losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse  foreign  currency  exchange  rate
movements.  Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions  denominated in a
currency  other  than  the  company's   functional  currency  and  from  foreign
denominated  revenue  and  profit  translated  into U.S.  dollars.  The  primary
currencies to which the company is exposed  include the euro and other  European
currencies,  the  Japanese  yen and other Asian and South  American  currencies.
Exposures are hedged with foreign currency forward contracts,  put options,  and
call options with maturity  dates of less than one year.  The potential  loss in
fair value at June 30, 2000 for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10%
adverse  change in all foreign  currency  exchange  rates is  approximately  $15
million.  This loss would be mitigated by corresponding  gains on the underlying
exposures.
