                     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                    (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying interim financial statements of the Company are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) have been
reflected in the interim periods presented.  Due principally to the seasonal
nature of some of the Company's business, results may not be indicative of
results for a full year.  The accompanying financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 26,
1997.
     
     Zomax Optical Media, Inc. (Zomax or the Company) is a leading outsource 
service provider to software publishers, computer manufacturers and other 
producers of multimedia products operating primarily in North America.  These 
outsource services include compact disc (CD) and digital versatile disc (DVD) 
mastering; CD, diskette and cassette replication; graphic design; print 
management; CD printing; packaging; warehousing; inventory management; 
distribution and fulfillment; and returned merchandise authorization 
processing services.

     The Company was incorporated on February 22, 1996 and completed its initial
public common stock offering on May 10, 1996.  Concurrent with the initial
public offering of common stock, the Company received all of the operating
assets and liabilities of Zomax Optical Media Limited Partnership in exchange
for 2,800,000 shares of its common stock.
     
     On February 4, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Primary Marketing Group, Next Generation Services, LLC and Primary
Marketing Group Limited (collectively, the Companies) in exchange for 800,002
shares of the Company's common stock.  Prior to the acquisitions, the Companies'
business consisted of providing manufacturers' representative services and
returned merchandise processing services for the computer industry.  The
Companies intend to provide substantially the same products and services they
provided prior to these transactions.  In connection with the transactions
described above, Zomax acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities,
including a lease obligation from an unrelated third party for $1,124,000.  The
acquisitions of the Companies have been accounted for as a pooling of
interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for all
periods presented have been restated to reflect the effects of the transactions.

2.   Bank Credit Facilities
     
     On April 30, 1997, the Company entered into a new revolving line of 
credit facility with a lender for up to $5 million.  The facility expires on 
April 30, 1999, and the interest rate is at the prime rate.  Maximum 
borrowings are limited to an amount based on a formula using eligible 
receivables and inventories.  As of March 27, 1998 the Company had $3.0 
million outstanding under the line of credit.

     In addition, the Company entered into a capital expenditure term loan 
facility with a lender for up to $8 million.  Borrowings under the capital 
expenditure term loan may be for up to 60 months and interest rates will vary 
based on the length of the term loans.  As of March 27, 1998, the Company had 
borrowings of $3,258,000 outstanding under this facility.

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

GENERAL

     The Company is a leading outsource service provider to software publishers,
computer manufacturers and other producers of multimedia products.  These
services include CD and DVD mastering; CD, diskette and cassette replication;
graphic design; print management; CD printing; packaging; warehousing; inventory
management; distribution and fulfillment; and RMA processing services.  The
Company records sales to its customers at the time merchandise is shipped or as
services are rendered.  For certain customers, merchandise is invoiced upon
completion of orders with shipment occurring based on written customer
instructions.

     The multimedia services industry has been characterized by short lead 
times for customer orders.  For this reason and because of the timing of 
orders, delivery intervals and the possibility of customer changes in 
delivery schedules, the Company's backlog as of any particular date is not a 
meaningful indicator of future financial results.

     On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of 
Benchmark, a software media replicator with operations in Minneapolis, 
Minnesota and Indianapolis, Indiana.  The Company agreed to pay consideration 
based on revenues of Benchmark in 1997.  Revenue levels were not met; 
therefore, no consideration was paid.  The Benchmark acquisition was 
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

     On May 1, 1997, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of TTI, an RMA
processing, warehousing and distribution company based in San Jose, California,
servicing the software publishing market.  The purchase price of TTI was
$712,000 cash and 59,268 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The acquisition
of TTI was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  As a result
of this treatment, the TTI purchase price was allocated to net assets acquired
based on estimated fair values and approximately $1.2 million of cost in excess
of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

     On February 4, 1998, PMG, NGS and PMG Ireland were merged with and into 
ZSI.  As a result of these transactions, all ownership interests in the 
acquired companies were exchanged for 800,002 shares of the Company's Common 
Stock. Prior to these transactions, the businesses of PMG, NGS and PMG 
Ireland consisted of providing manufacturers' representative services and RMA 
processing services to the computer industry.  PMG, NGS and PMG Ireland 
operated their respective businesses from facilities located in and around 
San Jose, California; Boston, Massachusetts; and Dublin, Ireland.  In 
connection with the transactions described above, the Company acquired 
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities from an unrelated third party 
for $1.1 million.  The acquisitions of PMG, NGS and PMG Ireland were 
accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting, and 
accordingly, all periods presented have been restated to reflect the effects 
of these transactions.

<PAGE>

     Prior to the Company's initial public offering, the Company operated as 
a partnership and prior to the acquisitions described above, certain of the 
companies operated as non-taxable entities.  A pro forma tax provision has 
been established as if all consolidated companies were taxable entities for 
all periods presented.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MARCH 28, 1997 AND MARCH 27, 1998

     SALES.  The Company's sales for the first quarter of 1998 were $14.2
million, an increase of 79.0% from $8.0 million for the first quarter of 1997. 
The increase in total sales resulted from a 48% increase in CD related sales, a
168% increase in diskette related sales and a 3.5% increase in RMA services
fees.  These increases were partially offset by a 40% decrease in audio cassette
sales.  In addition, the Company, in connection with the acquisition of certain
assets and liabilities from an unrelated third party, began operating an
assembly and distribution warehouse facility which accounted for 37.5% of the
total increase in Company sales.

     COST OF SALES.  Cost of sales for the first quarter of 1998 was 69.8% as 
a percentage of sales as compared to 71.2% for the first quarter of 1997.  
The decrease in the cost of sales percentage was due to higher CD production 
volumes resulting in improved equipment utilization and other operating 
improvements made by the Company.  These cost improvements were partially 
offset by start-up costs incurred by the Company in connection with building 
its new CD manufacturing facility in San Jose and an increase in RMA 
processing related costs.  There was no outsourcing of CD production in the 
first quarters of 1997 and 1998.  The San Jose facility had its initial 
production run in March 1998.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general, and 
administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1998 were $2.7 million 
compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 1997.  The dollar increase 
resulted primarily from a dramatic increase in sales volume and growth of the 
Company.  As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative 
expenses decreased from 21.6% in the first quarter of 1997 to 19.1% in the 
first quarter of 1998.  

     INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Interest income was $59,000 for the first 
quarter of 1998 as compared to $82,000 for the first quarter of 1997.  
Interest expense was $118,000 for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to 
$74,000 for the first quarter of 1997.  Interest expense increased due to 
borrowings used to finance the purchase of mastering equipment in September 
1997.

     OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET.  In the first quarter of 1998, the Company 
incurred nonrecurring expenses totaling $278,000 related to the acquisition 
of PMG, NGS and PMG Ireland.  These costs were expensed as incurred following 
the provision of pooling of interests accounting.  In the first quarter 1997, 
the Company generated other income totaling $51,000 resulting from PMG 
representing certain manufacturers' products. 

<PAGE>

     PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The pro forma effective income tax
rate for the first quarter of 1998 was 40.0% as compared to 39.7% for the first
quarter of 1997.

     PRO FORMA NET INCOME.  Pro forma net income was $748,000, an increase of
95.7% from $382,000 for the first quarter of 1997.

ITEM 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     During the quarter ended March 27, 1998, the Company made sales of 
securities that were not registered in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the 
Securities Act, which provides an exemption for transactions not involving a 
public offering, which transactions are set forth below.

     (a)  On February 4, 1998, the holder of a warrant to purchase 5,275 shares
     at $8.10 per share purchased 1,684 shares of the Company's Common Stock by
     exercising a cashless conversion right provided in the warrant.  An
     aggregate of 3,591 shares underlying the warrant were forfeited as
     consideration.  
     
     (b)  On February 4, 1998, as consideration for the acquisition of Next
     Generation Services, LLC, Primary Marketing Group and Primary Marketing
     Group Limited by the Company, the Company issued an aggregate of 800,002
     shares of its Common Stock to the owners of such businesses.

     (a)  Exhibits.  The following exhibit is included with the Form 10-Q

          Exhibit 27     Financial Data Schedule (included in electronic version
