    1.  Preparation of Financial Statements

    The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
    by Datapoint Corporation (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the
    rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  In the 
    opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all 
    adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of
    the interim periods presented.  All adjustments made in the interim 
    statements are of a normal recurring nature.

    It is recommended that these statements be read in conjunction with the 
    financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
    Report and Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1993.

    The results of operations for the three months ended October 30, 1993,
    are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
    full year.

    Prior to 1994, the Company's foreign subsidiaries reported their
    results to the parent on a one-month lag which allowed more time to
    compile results but produced comparability problems in management
    accounting.  Due to improved internal operations, the one-month lag 
    became unnecessary and therefore was eliminated subsequent to 1993 and 
    prior to 1994.  As a result, the July 1993 results of operations for
    the Company's foreign subsidiaries was recorded to the retained 
    deficit.  This action resulted in a charge of $5,470 being recorded 
    against the retained deficit.  The loss incurred in July 1993 resulted 
    primarily from a low revenue level, which is usual for the first month
    following the end of a fiscal year. 

    2.  Extraordinary Item

    The utilization of post-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards
    of certain foreign subsidiaries resulted in an extraordinary credit
    during the first quarter of fiscal 1993 of $473.

    3.  Change in Accounting Principle

    Effective August 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income
    Taxes."  SFAS 109 requires that liabilities and receivables for future
    taxes be calculated using a balance sheet approach rather than the
    income statement approach.  As a result, the Company recorded
    additional deferred income tax assets of $2,075, after a valuation 
    allowance of $66,720, and increased deferred income tax liabilities
    by $735 which, in total, resulted in a $1,340 credit ($.09 per share)
    for the cumulative effect of the accounting change. Management believes 
    that future taxable income of the Company will more likely than not result
    in utilization of the net deferred tax asset at August 1, 1993. Such future
    income levels are not assured due to the nature of the Company's business 
    which is generally characterized by rapidly changing technology and
    intense competition.

    After adoption of SFAS 109, the primary components of the Company's
    deferred tax assets and liabilities as of August 1, 1993 were as
    follows:

     <TABLE>
     <S>                              <C>

    5.  Fire at Belgium Subsidiary Warehouse

    On November 19, 1993, the Company incurred a fire loss, covered by
    insurance, at a leased facility in Brussels, Belgium.  The policies
    between the Company and its insurers generally provide for losses to
    be covered at replacement cost or sale value.  An agreement has been
    partially negotiated and the Company expects to receive proceeds from
    its insurers during the second quarter of fiscal 1994.

    6.  Commitments and Contingencies

    The Company is a defendant in various other lawsuits generally incidental
    to its business.  The amounts sought by the plaintiffs in such cases are
    substantial and, if all such cases were decided adversely to the Company,
    the Company's aggregate liability might be material.  However, the Company
    does not expect such an aggregate result based upon the limited number of
    such actions and an assessment that most such actions will be successfully
    defended. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial
    statements for any possible liability with respect to such lawsuits.

    Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
	   Condition and Results of Operations
	   (Years Referred to are Fiscal Years)

    Results of Operations

    The Company had an operating loss of $0.3 million and a net loss of
    $1.0 million for the first quarter of 1994.  This compares with an
    operating income of $2.8 million and a net income of $0.1 million, for
    the first quarter of 1993. The following is a summary of the Company's
    sources of revenue:

			   		                          19,329 	   29,856
	   Service and other:
	    	Foreign                	    21,987 	   30,260
	    	U.S.                   	       332 	      427
			  		                           22,319 	   30,687
        Total revenue           	$41,648 	  $60,543
    </TABLE>

    Revenue during the first quarter of 1994 declined $18.9 million, or
    31.2%, compared with the same period of the prior year.  This decline
    was partly due to a stronger U.S. dollar during the first quarter of
    1994, as compared to the local currencies of the Company's
    subsidiaries.  The strengthening of the U.S. dollar negatively
    impacted sales revenue $3.8 million and service and other revenue
    $5.1 million.  In addition, revenue for the first quarter of 1993
    included $0.8 million of sales revenue and $1.2 million of service and
    other revenue for the former Australian subsidiary which was
    subsequently sold at the end of the second quarter of 1993.  Excluding
    these items, revenue declined $8.0 million; the Company attributes
    this to competitive pressure in its data processing business and the
    weak economic environment in many of the European countries in which
    the Company does a preponderance of its business.

    The gross profit margin for the first three months of 1994 was 41.1% 
    compared with 42.5% for the same period a year ago.  The slight 
    change was due primarily to a change in product mix.

    Operating expenses during the first quarter of 1994 declined $5.5
    million from the same period a year ago, or $3.2 million if the effect
    of the stronger U.S. dollar is excluded, because the Company has
    significantly reduced the cost of its internal operations over the past
    year.

    The non-operating income of $0.3 million during the first quarter of
    1994 consisted primarily of interest income.  The non-operating expense
    of $0.5 million during the first quarter of 1993 resulted from the
    unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on 
    certain of the Company's intercompany receivables and payables, which 
    more than offset interest income earned during the period.

    In the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted Statement of 
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for
    Income Taxes." SFAS 109 requires that liabilities and receivables for
    future taxes be calculated using a balance sheet approach rather than 
    the income statement approach.  As a result, the Company recorded 
    additional deferred income tax assets of $2.1 million, after a valuation 
    allowance of $66.7 million, and increased deferred income tax liabilities 
    by $0.7 million which, in total, resulted in a $1.3 million credit 
    ($.09 per share) for the cumulative effect of the accounting change.
    The valuation allowance reflects the Company's assessment regarding 
    the realizability of certain U.S. and non-U.S. deferred income tax 
    assets. Management believes that future taxable income of the Company 
    will more likely than not result in utilization of the net deferred tax
    asset at August 1, 1993. Such future income levels are not assured due to
    the nature of the Company's business which is generally characterized by
    rapidly changing technology and intense competition.  The Company
    evaluates realizability of the deferred income tax assets on a quarterly
    basis.

    Prior to 1994, the Company's foreign subsidiaries reported their results
    to the parent on a one-month lag which allowed more time to compile 
    results but produced comparability problems in management accounting.
    Due to improved internal operations, the one-month lag became unnecessary
    and therefore was eliminated subsequent to 1993 and prior to 1994.  As a
    result, the July 1993 results of operations for the Company's foreign
    subsidiaries was recorded to the retained deficit.  This action resulted
    in a charge of $5.5 million being recorded against the retained deficit.
    The loss incurred in July 1993 resulted primarily from a low revenue level,
    which is usual for the first month of the new fiscal  year.    
 

    Financial Condition

    During the first three months of 1994, the Company's cash and cash 
    equivalents decreased $7.9 million due primarily to the usage of cash 
    in operations.  The decrease in cash was chiefly a result of the revenue 
    decline and a reduction in accounts payable, partially offset by continued
    strong collections of accounts receivables and additional bank borrowings.

    As of October 30, 1993, the Company had restricted cash and cash 
    equivalents of $4.8 million which was restricted primarily to cover various
    lines of credits, reflected as payables to banks, and for $1.6 million of
    guaranteed dividends on the $1.00 Preferred Stock.

    The Company has a secured credit facility ("Credit Facility") with The 
    CIT Group, which consists of a term loan and a revolving loan.  The 
    borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, as of October 30, 1993,
    were $3.8 million.  The Credit Facility expires March 7, 1994, at which 
    time the outstanding borrowings must be repaid in full.  The Company
    intends to refinance this loan through The CIT Group, or another lender, 
    or will use internal sources of liquidity to retire the Credit Facility.

    The Company has an internal source of liquidity in an investment 
    portfolio with a market value of $5.0 million.  As of October 30, 1993,
    the portfolio consisted of $4.0 million of cash and $1.0 million of 
    marketable securities.

    On November 19, 1993, the Company incurred a fire loss, covered by 
    insurance, at a leased facility in Brussels, Belgium.  The policies
    between the Company and its insurers generally provide for losses to
    be covered at replacement cost or sale value.  An agreement has been
    partially negotiated and the Company expects to receive proceeds from
    its insurers during the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The business
    interruption resulting from the fire is not expected to have a major
    negative impact upon the Belgium subsidiary's ability to operate.
