 DATAPOINT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 (Unaudited)

 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 on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1993.

  The results of operations for the three and six months ended January 29, 1994
  are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
  year.

 2.  Extraordinary Item
  
  The utilization of post-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards of
  certain foreign subsidiaries resulted in extraordinary credits during the 
  second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1993 of $0.7 million and $1.2
  million, respectively. 

 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:

  Deferred tax assets:
	   Property, plant and equipment      $3,445
    Loss and credit carryforwards      58,731 
    Other	                             	8,385
	                                     	70,561
    Less: Valuation allowance         (66,720)
                                        3,841
  Deferred tax liabilities:
    Accrued retirement costs            1,979
    Other	                             	1,065 
		                                     	3,044
   	Net deferred tax assets              $797

 4.  Inventories

  Inventories consist of:
                 
                  	January 29,        July 31, 
                      1994			          1993        
		Raw materials		  	$5,442            $5,619
		Work in process		  3,355             2,041
		Finished goods		  10,014             9,876
						            	$18,811           $17,536

 5.  Commitments and Contingencies  

  The Company is a defendant in various 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 operating income of $2.0 million and net income of $0.5
  million for the second quarter of 1994.  This compares with operating
  income of $3.7 million and net income of $2.0 million for the second
  quarter of 1993.  The Company had operating income of $1.7 million and a
  net loss of $0.5 million for the first six months of 1994, compared with
  operating income of $6.5 million and net income of $2.1 million for the
  first six months of 1993.  Operating income during the second quarter of
  1994 included a partial fire insurance settlement gain of $1.7 million
  related to a fire in the second quarter in a leased warehouse facility in 
  the Company's Belgian subsidiary.  The $3.7 million of operating 
  income in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 also included $2.8 million in
  gains on a fire insurance settlement related to a fire in the French
  subsidiary, and an additional $2.5 million for business interruption
  coverage.

  The following is a summary of the Company's sources of revenue:

	Total revenue 			  $44,786         $54,296         $86,434        $114,839

  Revenue declined during the second quarter of 1994 $9.5  million,
  or 17.5%, and for the first six months of 1994 $28.4  million, or	24.7%,
  compared with the same periods of the prior year.  These declines were
  partly due to a stronger U.S. dollar this year as compared to the same 
  periods last year against the functional currencies of the Company's European 
  subsidiaries.  The strengthening of the U.S. dollar negatively impacted
  sales revenue for the second quarter and first six months by $2.0
  million and $5.8 million, respectively, while service and other revenue
  were negatively impacted by $2.1 million and $7.2  million, respectively.
  In addition, revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 1993
  included $2.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the former
  Australian subsidiary which was subsequently sold at the end of the second 
  quarter of 1993.  Excluding these items, revenue declined for the second 
  quarter and first six months by $3.2 million and $11.2 million; the Company
  attributes this to the weak economic environment in many of the European
  countries in which the Company does a preponderance of its business,
  primarily France, Sweden and Germany.

  Gross profit margins for the second quarter and first six months of 1994 were 
  42.9% and 42.0%, respectively, compared with 47.7% and 45.0% for the same
  periods a year ago.  Excluding the effect of the fires noted above which
  favorably impacted cost of sales, gross profit margins for the second quarter
  and first six months of 1994 would have been 39.1% and 40.1%, respectively,
  compared with 37.9% and 40.3% for the same periods of the prior year.

  Operating expenses (Research and development plus Selling, general &
  administrative) during the second quarter and first six months of 1994
  declined $3.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively, from the same periods
  a year ago.  Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, operating
  expenses declined $2.4 million or 11.4% and $5.6 million or 12.9% for the 
  second quarter and first six months, respectively, attributable to
  significantly reduced costs of internal operations over the past year. 
  Also included in operating costs and expenses during the second quarter and
  first six months of 1993 were restructuring charges of $1.5 million and
  $1.6 million, respectively, for the streamlining of selected operations.

  Non-operating results for both the second quarter of 1994 and 1993 included
  fire settlement gains on fixed assets of $0.8 million and $1.2 million,
  respectively.  Excluding the impact of the fire, and interest expense, the
  Company had non-operating income of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the
  second quarter and first six months of 1994, respectively, compared with
  nonoperating losses of $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the same periods of 
  the prior year.  The non-operating losses during 1993 exceeded those of 1994 
  primarily due to the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency
  exchange rates on certain of the Company's intercompany receivables and
  payables.

  Income tax expense for the second quarter and first six months of 1994
  includes a $0.4 million tax effect related to the fire in the Belgian
  subsidiary.

  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 month following the end of a fiscal year.

 Financial Condition

  During the first six months of 1994, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
  decreased $13.5 million due primarily to the use of cash in operations. 
  The decrease in cash was the result of a succession of quarterly losses on 
  weakening revenues, coupled with the investment in inventories and receivables
  which accompanied the increased business volume in the second quarter of 1994
  versus the first quarter of this year.  The Company is carefully managing its
  cash resources during this period, and is using increased bank borrowings and
  trade accounts payable as well as free cash reserves to finance the expansion
  of its business.  Both bank debt and accounts payable rose substantially 
  during the first six months of 1994, helping to finance the increase in 
  inventory and receivables which accompanied the increased level of sales
  volume.  The increase in receivables was primarily related to sale shipments
  near the end of the second quarter (after the Christmas holidays); the 
  Company expects to collect these during the third quarter of 1994.  Also, the
  Company paid cash dividends aggregating $0.9 million on the $1.00 preferred 
  stock during the first six months of 1994.

  As of January 29, 1994, the Company had restricted cash and cash equivalents
  of $3.6 million which was restricted primarily to cover various lines of
  credit, reflected as payables to banks, and for $1.1 million of guaranteed 
  dividends on the $1.00 Preferred Stock, of which $0.5 million was no longer
  restricted as of February 15, 1994.

  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 January 29, 1994, were $3.1
  million.  The Credit Facility expired March 7, 1994, but by joint agreement
  was extended to April 7, 1994, at which time, barring any further 
  extension being agreed upon, 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 $3.7 million.  As of January 29,  1994, the portfolio
  consisted of $2.5 million of cash and $1.2 million of marketable securities.

  Subsequent to January 29, 1994, the Company received $0.7 million in proceeds
  from its insurer related to the fire on November 19, 1993 at the leased
  facility in Brussels, Belgium, which was in addition to $0.7 million
  received during the second quarter of 1994.  Negotiations are ongoing with 
  the insurer regarding the remainder of the claim and the timing of payment
  of the balance due on the agreed portion.  The Company anticipates receiving 
  additional proceeds during the remainder of the third quarter of 1994, but
  notes that full settlement may not be achieved in this time frame.
