Note 3.  Initial Public Offering

         The Company completed an "initial public offering" (IPO) of 2,500,000
shares of common stock at $8.00 per share on April 16, 1996.  The Company sold
2,200,000 shares and an additional 300,000 were sold by non-management
shareholders.  An additional 375,000 shares were sold by non-management
shareholders to cover over-allotments 30 days after the IPO.  Common Stock
outstanding after the offering was 6,824,528 shares.

Note 4.  Income Taxes

         At December 31, 1995 the Company recognized a deferred tax asset in
the amount of $4,282,000 based on management's assessment that it is more
likely than not that it will have sufficient taxable income in future periods
to realize the corresponding tax benefit resulting from the recognition of the
deferred tax asset.  Management plans to reassess the deferred tax asset on a
quarterly basis and make appropriate adjustments as necessary.

(1)  Net income applicable to common stockholders reflects the cash payment of
     that portion of the Excess Liquidation Preference on Senior Preferred
     which accrued during such period. Pro forma net income reflects the
     addition to net income applicable to common stock of such portion of the
     Excess Liquidation Preference.

(2)  Historical per share information is not presented as it differs materially
     from pro forma per share data. Pro forma net income per share is computed
     assuming the payment of the Excess Liquidation Preference and that the
     Company had been unable to utilize the net operating loss and tax credit
     carryforwards. The Company estimates it current effective tax rate to be
     40.0%.

(3)  Calculation of the number of common equivalent shares assumes conversion
     into Common Stock of all outstanding convertible preferred stock, and
     includes shares of Common Stock issuable upon the assumed exercise of
     dilutive stock options.

Item 2.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 1995

         Total net sales.  Total net sales increased 29.3% from $15,499,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $20,041,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  Printer sales revenue increased by 73.0% from $3,004,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $5,197,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The increase in printer revenue is directly attributable to
the growth of K40D printer sales to OEM customers.  Consumable supplies and
spare parts sales increased by 18.8% from $12,495,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $14,844,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This
increase is also due to the growth of the K40D unit sales.

         Gross profit.  Gross profit increased by 86.5% from $4,694,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to $8,754,000 in the three months ended March
31, 1996.  The gross margin increased from 30.3% to 43.7% in the same period.
The increase in dollars and as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the
significant increase in sales of the higher margin K40D printer as well as
reduced manufacturing and material costs as the Company continued to move
supplies manufacturing from Japan to the United States.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses remained constant in absolute dollars but decreased
3.7% as a percent of total net sales from $2,525,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $2,524,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996.

         Research and Development Expense.  Research and development expenses
decreased by 2.8% from $1,347,000 or 8.7% of total net sales in the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to $1,309,000 but were 6.5% of total net sales in
the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Expenses related to the K31 and K40D
programs were reduced as these programs neared completion, partially offset by
an increase in spending related to the KW60 product line.




                                     Page 8
<PAGE>   9
         Interest Expense and Other Income (Expense).  Interest expense and
other income (expense) decreased from $110,000 of expense in the three months
ended March 31, 1995 to $54,000 of income in the three months ended March 31,
1996.  Net interest expense at March 31, 1995 was $79,000, while at March 31,
1996 net interest income of $43,000 was realized as a result of greater cash
available for investment.

         Income Tax (Expense) Benefit.  Income tax expense for the three months
ended  March 31, 1995 was $98,000, or an effective tax rate of 13.8%, as a
result of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards which offset
taxable income in fiscal year 1995.  Income tax expense for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 was $2,410,000 resulting in a year-to-date effective tax
rate of 40.0% after recognition of a deferred tax asset of $4,282,000 during
the previous quarter ended December 31, 1995.

  COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1995

         Total Net Sales.  Total net sales increased by 4.3% from $53,921,000
in the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to $56,230,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 1996.  Printer sales revenue decreased by 16.5% from $17,586,000 in
the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to $14,693,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 1996. The decreases in sales revenue and unit volumes are primarily
the result of lower sales to IBM.  Total unit sales of printers to IBM declined
from 780 units and revenue of $4,992,000 in the nine months ended March 31,
1995 to 142 units and revenue of $1,074,000 in the nine months ended March 31,
1996.  This reduction in printer revenue was partially offset by increased K40D
unit sales.  OEM printer revenue totaled $12,594,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 1995, increasing to $13,619,000 in the nine months ended March 31,
1996.  Consumable supplies and spare parts sales increased 14.3% from
$36,335,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to $41,537,000 in the nine
months ended March 31, 1996.  The Company's consumable supplies sales for
higher speed printers, which use more consumable supplies, more than offset the
decline in spare parts sales to IBM caused by their reduced printer purchases.

         Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased by 27.4% from $17,373,000 in the
nine months ended March 31, 1995 to $22,136,000 in the nine months ended March
31, 1996.  The gross margin increased from 32.2% to 39.4% in the same period.
The increase in dollars and as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the
significant increase in sales of the higher margin K40D printer as well as
reduced manufacturing and material costs as the Company continued to move
supplies manufacturing from Japan to the United States.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 3.6% from $7,641,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 1995 to $7,917,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  This
increase was due primarily to increases in salary, depreciation expense and
expenses related to the closing of the Company's Tokyo office.

         Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses
decreased 9.4% from $4,195,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to
$3,800,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  This decrease was due to a
reduction in expenses associated with the completion of the K31 and K40D
projects and related attrition in the software engineering staff, offset by the
increased expenses associated with the development of the new KW60 product
line.

         Interest Expense and Other Income (Expense).  Interest expense and
other income (expense) decreased from $215,000 of expense in the nine months
ended March 31, 1995 to $73,000 of income in the nine months ended March 31,
1996.  Net interest expense at March 31, 1995 was $459,000, while at March 31,
1996 net interest income of $26,000 was realized as a result of greater cash
available for investment, as well as reduction of debt obligations.  Gain on
foreign exchange decreased from $330,000 in the nine months ended March 31,
1995 to zero in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 due to all customers who
previously paid in yen now paying in U.S. dollars during this period.

         Income Tax Expense (Benefit).  Income tax expense for the nine months
ended March 31, 1995 was $835,000, or an effective tax rate of 15.7%, as a
result of the utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards which
offset taxable income in fiscal year 1995.  Income tax benefit for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 was $47,000 due to recognition of a deferred tax
asset of $4,282,000 in the period offset by application of a year-to-date
effective tax rate of 40.0%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Changes in cash during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 resulted
in a net increase of $5,463,000 as compared to a decrease during the nine
months ended March 31, 1995 of $969,000.  The primary factors for this increase
were $8,935,000 more cash being used in financing activities to reduce debt
obligations and $876,000 more cash being used in investing activities to
purchase equipment during the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  Net cash
provided by operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by
$801,000 from the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  The primary factors for
this decrease were increases in inventory levels and decreases in provision for
loss on accounts receivable which were partially offset by (i) recognition of a
deferred tax asset of $4,282,000, (ii) increase of accounts receivable and
accrued expenses by $4,542,000 and  (iii) the effect of exchange rate on cash
being  $2,548,000 more between the comparable periods.

         As a result of the IPO completed on April 16, 1996, the Company raised
capital of $11,384,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commission,
estimated offering expenses of approximately $700,000, and payment of Excess
Liquidation Preference of $4,200,000.  The Company anticipates that the net
proceeds from the offering will be used to fund the development, tooling and
manufacture of the KW60 printer.
