Note 3.  Deferred Income Taxes

         At September 30, 1997 the Company had a deferred income tax asset in
the amount of  $3,338,000 ($2,848,000 classified as short term with the balance
of $490,000 as long term) 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 reviews the deferred tax asset on a quarterly
basis and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.

Item 2.

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

         Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
presented here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and those
discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997,
particularly those contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

         Total net sales.  Total net sales decreased 17.1% from $14,052,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $11,654,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997.  Printer sales revenue remained constant at
$2,239,000 for both the three months ended September 30, 1996 and the three
months ended September 30, 1997. Consumable supplies and spare parts sales
decreased by 20.3% from $11,813,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1996 to $9,415,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1997.  This decrease
was due to some large customers adjusting their inventory levels before the end
of the calendar year, a declining printer installed base which resulted in lower
consumable supply sales and an increase in market competition by third party
remanufacturors of consumable supplies.

         Gross profit.  Gross profit decreased by 19.1% from $6,373,000 in the
three months ended September 30, 1996 to $5,158,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1997.  The gross margin decreased from 45.4% to 44.3% in the same
period.  The decreases were due to lower sales of consumable supplies and spare
parts during the period.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by 17.4% from $2,544,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1996 to $2,102,000 in the three months September 30, 1997.
The decrease was a result of lower legal expenses due to settlement of all
pending litigation and a decrease in bonus expense.

         Research and Development Expense.  Research and development expenses
decreased by 17.5% from $2,310,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996
to $1,905,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1997. The three months
ended September 30, 1996 included a higher level of expenses associated with
the development of prototype KW60 series printers.

         Interest Income and Other Income (Expense).  Interest income and other
income (expense) increased from $544,000 of expense in the three months ended
September 30, 1996 to $787,000 of income in the three months ended September
30, 1997 due primarily to the book loss related to the sale of the Tama
property in Japan recorded in the three months ended September 30, 1996.

         Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997
increased $475,000 from the three months ended September 30, 1996 as a result
of greater cash available for investment.

                                    Page 7



<PAGE>   8


         Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 was $768,000 compared to $727,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30,
1996 included a one-time tax expense of $378,000 related to the sale of the Tama
property in Japan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Changes in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended
September 30, 1997 resulted in a net decrease of $1,719,000 as compared to an
increase of $177,000  in the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The
primary reason for this decrease is  the purchase of marketable securities of
$2,914,000.  The increase of $825,000 in cash provided by operations is a
result of a significant increase in net income and accrued expenses.
